	Greetings my friends, welcome back.
	Great to have you.
	Rush Lynn Board at Cutting Edge Societal Evolution.
	It's Friday.
	Let us keep rolling.
	Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
	It's Open Lime Friday.
	One big, exciting, busy broadcast hour remains hosted by me.
	Rush Lynn Board, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
	Let me run a quick little pop quiz.
	Mr. Snurdly, Dawn, Brian, are you all aware that Rolling Stone magazine ran a story accusing a fraternity at the University of Virginia of gang rape?
	You did not know that Rolling Stone...
	Are you aware that Lena Dunham, in her book, accused a conservative at Oberlin College of raping her?
	You didn't know that.
	Well, Rolling Stone Magazine has just retracted their story.
	This is the Duke La Crosse case all over, except this was an entire fraternity indicted.
	This was Phi Kampa Psi.
	Rolling Stone Magazine has retracted and apologized.
	Ah, damn, we got it wrong.
	Sorry.
	It's controversial story about an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia after it discovered new information that discredited the peace.
	This is a shocking retreat coming merely days after the author of the story, Sabrina Rubin Erdley, defended it.
	On November 19th, the magazine ran a story of Jackie, an unidentified UVA student who says she was gang raped at a party at the house of Phi Kampa Psi in the fall of 2012.
	Her shocking story, with vivid details from the night of the incident and its charges that sexual assaults at UVA often go unreported, embarrassed the university and launched an investigation by screw officials and the local police.
	All Greek life activities were also suspended in the wake of the story.
	Will Dana, the magazine's managing editor, said on the website, in the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie's account.
	This is the unidentified UVA student.
	And we at Rolling Stone have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced.
	We were trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation many women feel after a sexual assault.
	And we now regret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account.
	You know what they're apologizing for?
	Because you got this nameless, faceless, unidentified woman accusing the fraternity of gang rape.
	Rolling Stone ran with it.
	The author of the story was Sabrina Rubin Erd.
	This ran with the story.
	They never once got hold of the fret.
	They're admitting here that they regret their decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account.
	We are taking this seriously at Rolling Stone, and we apologize to anyone who is affected by the story.
	Oh, big of you.
	Big of you.
	Rolling Stone magazine blows up.
	Now, the Lena Dunham thing, I didn't even, I didn't read her book.
	I frankly don't care.
	I don't think somebody 22 biography.
	Well, it's another thing.
	Anyway, she claims she was raped by a conservative Republican on campus at Oberlin College somewhere in Ohio.
	And Breitbart has endeavored to conduct an exhaustive investigation.
	They can't find a guy.
	They can't find anybody that meets the description.
	They can't find anybody who could possibly have done this.
	The left is cracking up right in front of our eyes.
	Openly, every day.
	The left is becoming devoted to the opposite of the truth.
	It's almost as though there's an ongoing effort here to be wrong.
	And if it causes a problem, deal with it later.
	but the agenda is so crucial that we will even lie to advance it.
	Dan Rather and this National Guard thing and George W. Bush.
	What's the...
	What's the Dan Rather excuse?
	Well, they may not have any evidence, but I know what happened.
	I have sources.
	I talked about the sources and sources confirmed.
	I don't have any evidence, no, but I'm very clear it happened.
	And if it didn't happen, I want to break that story.
	Remember Dan Rather?
	I want to break the story it didn't happen.
	So you call it whatever you want, narrative journalism.
	You can call this agenda-oriented journalism, whatever it is, it isn't journalism anymore.
	Well, I don't, you could call it a hoax, but a hoax is knowingly.
	I don't know that there's a hoax here.
	I think what happened here is, like the Duke La Crosse case, the left lives and breathes image.
	And the left is one of the most racist, biased, bigoted bunch of people you ever run into.
	And they just believe that white guys that play lacrosse have to be rich sons of investment bankers or some such thing, and that they just wantonly rape and pillage and get drunk and do whatever.
	They just, that's the image.
	That's what they believe of people that play lacrosse or go to Duke or what have you.
	And so here comes some exotic dancer leveling the charge, and it just fits what they already believe.
	It fits their templates, and they plug it in, and they believe it.
	All those faculty signatures that do, they just believe it.
	And then when the evidence comes forth, it doesn't change their pre or misconception.
	It just, you know, we got this one wrong.
	But these guys are still, you know, they're still going to do it.
	These kind of guys, and everybody knows these Greek guys are running around sexually.
	It might not have happened here, but we know it happened.
	That's the world they live in.
	It's part and parcel of the conservatives are racist, sexist, bigots, homofs, no matter the evidence to the contrary.
	But remember, too, these are the people leveling all the allegations about everybody else, about what reprobates everybody else is.
	These are the people, don't you dare investigate them.
	Don't you dare try to find out what their problems in life have been.
	Don't you dare try to find out if anybody in journalism's got a DUI.
	Don't you dare find out if they've ever had affairs outside of marriage.
	Don't you dare try to do that to us.
	Only we can do that to you, is their attitude.
	I mean, this is, things are blowing up on these people left and right.
	The gentle giant thing's blowing up on them.
	The Garner case is moderately so, but the list is endless in these kinds of things.
	Gabby Giffords get shot.
	Sarah Palin's website did it.
	Evidence comes forth that it wasn't some deranged guy that if he was motivated by anything, it was liberalism.
	No, no.
	You have a school shooting in Utah, and what does Brian Ross at ABC do?
	Immediately try to find a guy's name on a tea party roster.
	Talk about what's the word, bigotry?
	Preconceived notions.
	I'm missing a word here, but judgmentalism.
	I mean, these people are just out of control.
	And you know what it's all rooted in, I think, is hatred.
	I think they have an absolute hatred for people who are not liberals.
	And they're on a mission to demonstrate that their hatred is properly placed.
	And in order to convince people, they'll make it up.
	They'll just invent things.
	And even if the case they invent turns out to be not true, it doesn't matter.
	We know it happens.
	What was there's a case right on the tip of my tongue where this exact thing was said even.
	The media, somebody had accused somebody of doing something and it was found to be totally untrue.
	And the reaction was, well, they may not have done it, but we know they wanted to.
	They would have.
	I can't remember what it was.
	But it'll come to me because the synapses in my neurons are firing rapidly today.
	So it will come to me.
	I got other things I want to get to here in the stacks of stuff as well.
	And your phone calls.
	So take a brief time out and come back and continue them.
	Number again, by the way, 800-282-2882.
	Do not go away.
	Harry Garner's daughter has just thrown a monkey wrench into everything saying that it was not about race.
	Yeah, it was about pride.
	It was not killed over race.
	It was about pride.
	I don't know what she means by that.
	Maybe it was the cops couldn't let this guy get the best of them.
	I don't know.
	But his own daughter says it wasn't about race.
	And there's some guy on CNN right now.
	His name is Carl Jones.
	He's executive producer, adult swims, black dynamite, whatever that is.
	And he said something, Mr. Sterdley, I need to ask you.
	He said, he was talking about blacks and television and how discriminatory it is.
	He said, Obama would have never gotten elected if he looked like Samuel L. Jackson.
	What the hell does that mean?
	What in the world does that mean?
	That Obama would have never gotten elected if he looked like, he called him Sam Jackson, but I know who you mean, Samuel L. The actor.
	What in the world?
	Well, it certainly doesn't to me, given that I don't look at people like this.
	I have no idea what that means.
	Yeah.
	It means that Samuel L. Jackson looks like an authentic black man and Obama doesn't?
	That's what this guy meant?
	Come on, it can't mean you mean to tell Obama doesn't look authentic?
	Are you telling me that?
	Well, but look it.
	You know what we ought to do?
	We've got to go back and get a magic negro.
	Because for all this talk, you want to know why Sharpton's at the White House every day?
	You people have forgotten.
	During the campaign, as far back as 2007, if you'll recall, Joe Biden got all of this started by praising Obama to the hilt, by saying essentially what Biden said, and it's pretty close.
	This is a paraphrase, but it's pretty close.
	He said, finally, we've got a clean, articulate black guy in our party running for president.
	And I remember hearing that, and I thought, holy smoked, can you imagine if anybody else had said this?
	Maybe Charles Barkley got away with it, but nobody else.
	Mitt Romney clearly couldn't have gotten away with it.
	But Sharpton heard it.
	And remember, Sharpton was originally in the Hillary camp.
	Sharpton was not on board Obama.
	And at first, and Sharpton got mad because, hey, I'm clean.
	I take showers.
	I can speak.
	People know what I'm saying.
	I need a bullhorn, but people know what I'm saying.
	And then you're right, this whole notion of authenticity surfaced.
	And we had that column in the LA Times saying that Obama was the quintessential magic Negro, a term I'd never heard.
	And not just Sharpton, there were a lot of them not on board.
	There was deep resentment for Obama.
	And it all started with what Joe Biden said about him.
	Don't, don't doubt me.
	And Harry Reid said he had a gift because he, yeah, what Harry Reid meant, he had a gift.
	He could go from the Negro dialect to the not Negro dialect on a dime.
	And that's what Harry Reid said that, not us.
	Yeah, Harry Reid said it.
	And Obama, when he was told that Harry Reid said that, said, well, I have a gift, Harry.
	Talking about his oratory.
	So that's right.
	Jeff Zucker tweeted, Candy Crowley has let us know that she has made the decision to move on.
	So it apparently is her decision to leave CNN.
	Now, Snerdley thinks that CNN had to get rid of her because they wanted back in the debates.
	If Candy Crowley was a moderator, that CNN wouldn't get a debate.
	That could be.
	But this is a blow to the Hillary campaign.
	You know, sisters hanging together and so forth.
	So, well, speaking of Hillary, coming up.
	By the way, standby, audio soundbite number 22.
	Here is Bruce in Melbourne, Florida.
	Bruce, great to have you on the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Marsh, thank you for taking my call and happy holidays.
	Listen, I'm one of your listeners who does support government shutdown.
	And I really do feel the will of the people is not reflected in these current polls.
	And when you're coming up against extreme measures that are being done by this current administration and just the inactivity of Congress, you really need to counterbalance an extreme, supposedly unpalatable action like the government shutdown.
	And I base this on five reasons.
	And you sort of previously alluded in one of your segments, what they are.
	The first one is all the entitlements did go out.
	The government employees were paid their salaries.
	Critical services were still available.
	Nobody died.
	Nobody was named.
	And the most important thing is they found that we elected officials such as Ted Cruz and the Lee's out there and Gomers who stood by their platform that they would do anything necessary To really retard bad legislation, bad executive orders.
	And they've done that.
	And I think that infuriates the Mitch McConnell's and the Boehners and the Coral Rogues out there.
	And what I do hope is that this current batch of newly elected congressmen will really yield to what their constituents have voted them in, based on saying they will.
	That is the thing.
	Let me just, let me stop you here because you're right on the money, I think.
	The point, when you get right down to a government shutdown, the people and elected Republicans are for it.
	If that's the only thing available to stop Obama, if, and by the way, we're not even talking shutting down the government.
	The government does not get shut down.
	His he just illustrated back pay for people that are sent home, which is very few.
	Christmas turkeys for those that don't get them.
	There's retroactive back pay.
	The welfare checks go out.
	It's not even a shutdown.
	But if the people voted in this last election to stop the implementation of any more of the Obama agenda, and if the only way to do it is to defund it, and if then they want to call that a government shutdown, most people support it.
	But then the Washington Post trots out this poll that shows that 53% of people would blame the Republicans for a government shutdown, and that 74% oppose a government shutdown.
	Well, if you just ask a dryball question, do you favor shutting down the government or leaving it open?
	Well, what the hell are people going to say?
	You know, this whole shutdown the government thing has come to mean something that is not even practical in terms of what really happens.
	It's not realistic.
	But I agree with you.
	I don't think most people have a problem with it.
	We shut down the government in 1995.
	The government shuts down more often than you would realize.
	But I think I read the government shutdown last year that everybody's here so hot to trot about was actually an 85%, 15% shutdown is what happened.
	15%.
	And Obama was in charge of it.
	White House tours, he closed them.
	Secret Service was still fully staffed.
	They could have done them.
	He closed the World War II Memorial to World War II vets and opened it to pro-illegal immigration activists in a thumb-in-the-eye move.
	It really is fast because I think it's a diversion anyway.
	I think it's an excuse.
	It's a diversion.
	It's a trick.
	This whole government shutdown thing.
	But I appreciate the call.
	Marty in Sanford, Florida, you're next on Open Line Friday.
	Hello, sir.
	How are you today, Rush?
	I'm great.
	I'm glad you called, sir.
	Thank you.
	Hey, the reason I'm calling, my daughter is a first-year cadet at West Point.
	She's a plebe.
	Part of their responsibilities each year, the first-year cadets at their Christmas dinner, which is for all the cadets when they gather in their lunch hall or the meal hall at the end of the day, is the plebes have to provide cigars to their entire company.
	Now, unfortunately, I know nothing about cigars.
	My daughter knows nothing about cigars.
	Don't worry.
	I do.
	I do.
	And you're the man.
	How many cigars is she going to have to provide?
	Wow.
	Well, of course, the company is over 100, but her table alone is 10 cadets.
	Okay, so she just have to, for one table?
	Well, typically more than that, like a box or something.
	I think just to make sure everybody can smoke two.
	I need a number.
	Are you looking at 25, 50, 100?
	Give me a ballpark number.
	100.
	That would cover the whole company, the Beast Company, Bravo.
	Bravo Company.
	Bravo Company.
	Sorry, the Barbarians.
	Right, right.
	I know the Bravo Company.
	Cool.
	And your daughter is a cadet at West Point?
	Rush, she's the youngest cadet at West Point.
	She's only 17 and a half.
	You have got to be so proud, you can't control it, I'll bet.
	Can't you hear it in my voice?
	This girl is light years ahead of where she should be.
	She is so much, you know what?
	And I'm going to tell you, she's just like her mother.
	Well, that's pretty impressive.
	This is pretty impressive.
	I'll tell you what here.
	You need 100 cigars.
	How about if I send you 100 cigars, an assortment of stuff from my own collection?
	You don't have to tell.
	No, no, you don't have to.
	She doesn't have to tell anybody where they came from.
	They're from her.
	I'll send you some.
	100 cigars is going to cost a lot of money.
	That's crazy.
	No, I know it is, but I got them.
	I collect them.
	I love giving them away to people who really enjoy them.
	And I can think of no better place than West Point.
	I am ecstatic that they still permit it.
	I'd be honored for my sticks to be part of the ceremony.
	It's a huge event.
	She says the commons looks like it's just covered in smoke.
	She says it's a haze at this dinner.
	Oh, man, I would pay to be there just to breathe it in.
	Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
	I'll send an assortment of things.
	When do you need them?
	As soon as possible, because it's before Christmas.
	Okay.
	So if I get them out Monday or Tuesday next week, that'd be okay?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	So what I need you to do is hang on so that we can get an address.
	We'll FedEx these things to you.
	Now, you be sure.
	Now you be sure and tell her.
	They don't.
	From her, this does not have to come from me.
	I don't care that anybody knows that.
	That's not the point.
	As far as anybody knows, she got them, which she did.
	I mean, you're procuring them for her.
	And you admittedly don't know anything about it.
	You don't want to give away junk.
	No, no, no.
	And I'm telling you, the cadets, this is a big event for them.
	This is a huge social event for them.
	Oh, I can imagine.
	Gosh, what a long lost.
	You can't do this anywhere anymore.
	No, and you know what?
	It brings the cadets.
	This is when they form their camaraderie.
	This brings them into the fold.
	Absolutely.
	I would be honored to provide these things.
	So I want you to hang on here and we'll, well, my staff is asking for a picture, and I don't know if that's improper.
	I don't know if we're not allowed to see pictures of this event, but it's enough to know that we're able to make this happen here.
	Rush, if I can weasel a picture out of her, I will do it.
	All right, but I don't want, look, that's probably a closed event, and it's the Army.
	You know, these are close to the best thing.
	So don't bust a bun on that.
	But hang on here so Snurdy gets your address so we can it's got to be a FedEx address until we get this piece of stuff over and I probably I'll I'll I'll put the I'll put it together over the weekend and try to ship it out to you on Monday so don't don't hang up Marty Sanford Florida that's not far could hire Wells Fargo stage coach to take it up there if we had to Greetings, welcome back, Open Line Friday, Rush Limboy.
	I've been doing this a long time.
	And that means I know what I am doing.
	Okay, Hillary Clinton.
	This is on Wednesday in Washington, Georgetown University.
	She did a foreign policy press conference.
	This is the event that was half empty.
	There were more empty seats than filled seats.
	Back on this thing, I don't get the fear of Hillary Clinton.
	I mean, she gets elected.
	I understand it, but I don't understand the fear that has her already elected.
	The woman's book bombed, her book tour bombed.
	She's speeches, making speeches at Georgetown, and half the place doesn't show up.
	I'm telling you, there's no connection there.
	And it's going to be even worse for her with millennials.
	You wait, and I'm going to explain that in a second, but you got to hear what she said here about this is our former Secretary of State, and a woman that a bunch of Republicans are scared to death is already as good as elected as the next president.
	This is what we call smart power, using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security, leaving no one on the sidelines, showing respect even for one's enemies, trying to understand and insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view, helping to define the problems, determine the solutions.
	That is what we believe in the 21st century will change.
	Change the prospects for peace.
	This is just unbelievable, folks.
	We must empathize with our enemies.
	Smart power.
	You know, I'm so tired of that phrase.
	That's what John Kerry runs.
	He's from Vietnam, by the way.
	He runs.
	This is smart diploma.
	This is smart, this, smart.
	It's stupid.
	It's dumb.
	No one on the sidelines, showing respect even for our enemies.
	You ever thought about showing Republicans some respect, Hillary?
	Bet that never crossed your mind, did it?
	You know, you ought to start treating our enemies the way you treat Republicans and conservatives.
	And then we might have a decent foreign policy.
	And insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with our enemies' perspective and point of view.
	Empathize with it?
	So we're back now.
	If we just show them that we're nice people, they'll stop being mad at us.
	If we just show them we're nice, people stop wanting to kill us.
	Yeah, we got a lot of respect and empathy for Hitler, right?
	For Stalin, for Mao.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'll tell you, this is some people say she's just Obama in a pantsuit.
	I'm going to tell you something, folks.
	I really think when it comes to these millennials, these HDD, HDHD millennials, short attention spans, hip deep into pop culture, I don't think they're going to find it.
	I think Hillary Clinton is already one of the least interesting people in public life.
	She's awkward.
	She's unoriginal.
	She has the improvisational skills of a parrot.
	And she's photogenic on like the 23rd take.
	And I'll tell you something else.
	You wait.
	You wait until these millennials find out how she enabled her husband to sexually whatever, abuse, whatever, all of these women.
	They weren't alive when that happened.
	They weren't alive during Paula Jones and Jennifer Flowers and Kathleen Williams.
	Aren't old enough to remember it, Lewinsky and all that, wait till they find out.
	Let me put it to you this way: today's millennials, if, if, if, don't misquote me on this, if they found out that Obama was run around serially involved in adulterous relationships and Michelle Obama was in charge of ruining the reputations of the women involved, you think the millennials would put up with it?
	Well, wait till they find out that Hillary ran the bimbo eruptions.
	These generation, this generation of young people, gay marriage, all of this stuff, fine and dandy feminism totally runs their show.
	You wait till they find out Hillary's role in what she did to other women.
	I'm telling you, it isn't going to be the slam dunk for her, particularly with these, now that Candy Crowley has quit, that's going to be an even bigger problem.
	And if you don't understand immediately why, just stop and think about it for a minute.
	Okay, folks, have a great weekend.
	If you're watching Fox Broadcast Network Sunday morning, Fox News Sunday, I'm the lead guest at 9 a.m. Eastern.
	That's when it airs live.
	And we'll be back here on Monday.
	And look forward to seeing you then.
