Time Text
How come the uh how come the Democrats talk about right wing extremism instead of extremism in the name of conservatism?
You know, folks, if you're anything, if you are anything, if you want to be called anything, the liberals in the left of the Democrats will call you.
If you want to be called Afro-American, they'll call you Afro-American.
You want to be called black, they'll call you black.
If you want to be called African American, they'll call you African American.
If they want to call you Negro, if you want to call them, they'll call you that if that's what you want to be called.
If you want to be called a feminist, they'll call you a feminist.
If they want to call, if you want to call you, whatever, but these, yeah, if you want to be called gay, they'll call you gay.
If you want to be called a member of the transgender community, they will call you a member of the transgender community.
But these militant Islamists come along and tell people what they are.
The Democrats say, no, you are not what you say you are.
You are extremists in the name of Islam.
It's amazing.
You can tell the Democrats you can be called whatever you want.
Now, we conservatives can't tell them what we want to be called.
They're going to call us whatever they want.
But anybody else.
But the terrorist community, that's how Marie Harf would speak.
The terrorist community, they come along and they openly admit who they are.
And the State Department said, No, you're not.
No, no, you're not.
You are extremists in the name of Islam.
But we never hear about extremism in the name of conservatism, do we?
You know, the uh, you know, ISIS is now recruiting in Afghanistan less than one month after Obama ended the combat mission there.
Obama or ISIS is there recruiting.
Yeah, he did that while he was in Hawaii.
People didn't notice this, and the drive-by's didn't know, but he ended combat missions in Afghanistan while he was in Hawaii.
Oh, get the guy leading ISIS in Afghanistan is a former detainee at Club Gitmo.
He's uh he's a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay that we released.
And get this, uh folks.
The drive-bys are so excited they can't see straight.
The AP has just run a story.
France has ordered prosecutors around the country to crack down on hate speech, anti-Semitism, and glorifying terrorism.
Authorities said 54 people have been arrested for hate speech and defending terrorism in the last week.
I can't believe the French.
The French are running around arresting people for defending terrorism in the last week.
Normally normally it's the French should be running around defending terrorism.
I go, I guess all it takes is a big attack.
I I'm a little confused about this too, because I mean you just read this from the article.
France ordered prosecutors around the country to crack down on hate speech, crack down on anti-Semitism, and crack down on glorifying terrorism.
Authorities said 54 people have been arrested for hate speech and defending terrorism in the last week.
Now, I thought the demonstration in Paris was to show solidarity over freedom of speech.
I thought that was one of the reasons for that big powwow.
You know that Obama didn't go to.
We had what, 44 different world leaders there, and I thought one of the reasons for that demonstration was to stand up for freedom of speech.
It's amazing.
I don't know uh any more details than what I've shared with you about this crackdown on hate speech.
But I do know this.
The drive-bys are going to interpret that as the French government's going after Charles Edu.
The drive-by's are Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington is going to be ecstatic of it.
In fact, we have.
Let me see if I can find the Andrew Mitchell, NBC News Washington.
Let's do this.
Let's start with Soundbite Three.
This is Bill Neely.
This is on the Today Show this morning.
Bill Neely, the Today Show correspondent reporting on the first brand new issue of Charles Edu since the attack there last week.
Now, the new issue of Charles Edu has a caricature of the prophet on the cover with a semi-funny caption.
It's not a it's not an uproariously funny thing, but the caricature of the prophet, clearly, if devout you could look at this and find it offensive.
And in fact, there have been those in this country in the drive-by media, the leftists on uh blogs and so forth, who have expressed outrage at Charles Hebdoo.
They think that this magazine is asking for it again.
They have put an image of the prophet on the cover of the first magazine since the massacre, and they claim that the caricature looks like male genitalia.
You didn't hear that?
Have you seen the cover?
Well, we link to it.
We linked week it's at Rush Limbaugh.com.
We're fearless here.
We put the picture, we put a picture of the cover up at Rush Limbo.
Weekly standards, if it's everywhere.
Now, uh CNN refused to do it.
CNN refused, but we put it up there.
And there, if you look at it, there are people claiming the character of the prophet bears a resemblance to male genitalia.
Anyway, here is the NBC correspondent Bill Neely reporting on the first new issue of Charles Abduce since the attack there last week.
It's a satirical magazine that used to sell 50,000 copies a week.
Today, the first of three million copies hit the streets, making it for this week not only the world's most famous newspaper, but one of the best selling.
On its cover, which NBC News is not showing, a cartoon of a tearful Prophet Muhammad.
Well, so there's NBC now not displaying the uh the new cover picture on Charles Edu.
It's a tearful prophet, and that this character of the Prophet is indeed crying.
Uh in addition to whatever else.
Somewhat.
I mean, you'd have to stand on your head to have this thing look like genitely if you ask me, but there's enough perverts out there that they'll see it no matter what they're looking at.
You know it and I know it.
Okay, so there's that.
This NBC is admitting they're not going to show the cover to describe three million copies.
Magazine normally sells 50,000 a week.
Three million the first day.
So now we go to Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Washington.
This is Monday afternoon on her show, and she was interviewed.
We told you about this.
I just wanted you to sound bite.
This is the interview she had with the French ambassador, Gerard Arault.
And during a discussion about Charles' so-called provocative cartoons about the Prophet Muhammad, Andrea Mitchell, NBC News and Washington said this.
The tradition of free speech, it all began in France during the 1700s and the 18th century, But there are laws in France, laws that say you cannot deny the Holocaust, laws that say you can't deny the Armenian genocide.
So why is it permissible to be as provocative as these anti-Muslim cartoons were?
This is a debate we're having journalistically here in the United States as well, you know.
Yeah, yes.
Here's Andrea Mitchell, an accredited member of the journalism community, eagerly debating limits on the media.
Oh, it's fine.
Yes, because we should be responsible in our speech.
And of course, we journalists are.
We real journalists, we are always very careful with our speech.
And of course, we never tell falsehoods about people.
And we never ever shape a story's outcome to fit our own bias.
We are clean and pure as the wind-driven snow journalists.
So we can freely discuss whether or not these people at the French magazine should be prevented from publishing what they want.
This is amazing to me.
She's asking the uh the French ambassador to the U.S. again, Gerhard Aho.
No relation to uh Gerard Depart, by the way, asking, why don't you limit?
I mean, you can't people can't go out there denying the Holocaust.
Why are you allowing these people to do what they're doing?
Of course, Andrea is obviously they'd never happen to her.
Nobody would ever try to limit her speech.
Why she's mainstream journalist.
So forth.
Well, let's go back.
Let's examine NBC.
Let's go back to the groove yard of forgotten sound bites.
I want to take you back to March 27th, 2012, right there on the Today Show again.
And I want you to listen to this.
You your memory might be jogged here.
This is an audio clip of the 911 call from George Zimmerman to the police the night he got into it with Trayvon Martin.
Obama's would have been son.
This is the actual beginning to end soundbite.
This is what NBC aired as they told people this is how Zimmerman's call to 911 that night about Trayvon Martin sounded.
This guy looks like he's up to no good.
He looks black.
Yeah, your memory is coming back to you now, isn't it?
They edited that.
They edited that.
Somebody at NBC Miami edited this on purpose.
Zimmerman didn't say that.
Well, he said it, but after being asked, NBC clearly wanted to wanted to portray Zimmerman as a racist, as a white Hispanic racist.
And you might ask, Rush, why would they do this?
I'll tell I'll tell you exactly why.
It's knee jerk, folks.
These are liberals in the media.
And they have how best to describe this.
They have inculcated beliefs.
They are not curious.
They're not open-minded.
They are closed-minded, and they simply believe conservatism is racism.
They just believe it.
It is.
It's not debatable.
There's nobody disagrees with that.
Everybody, everybody knows that conservatives are racist.
Everybody knows that white Hispanics are racist, and everybody knows that some white guy beaten on a black guy has to be racist.
There's no other ex this is what they're taught.
So the editor at NBC, he knows that.
He just knows it's true.
So he is editing this so that it's presented in a way that he thinks everybody already understands it.
I think some people make the mistake of thinking that NBC sat in their editing booth and said, okay, how can we screw this up?
How can we twist this guy's words?
How can we make him look like something he's not?
That's not the thought process.
The idea that George Zimmerman is not a racist, never it is in their mind.
The fact that George Zimmerman was beaten up on Trayvon Martin's, all they need, he's a racist, okay?
So that's a truth.
So they, in reporting the news, are going to make that as simple to understand as possible.
They go in there, they edit the tape and have it say what they know Zimmerman already thinks.
This is who they are, folks.
They're dead wrong over 90% of the time, and the other time they lie, but they are the most prejudiced, bigoted people you could possibly imagine.
It's not that they thought Zimmerman was interesting innocent and they wanted to make him guilty.
They thought he was guilty the first moment they heard the story.
And they thought he was guilty because he had to be a racist.
He'd beaten up with a black guy.
It had to be.
There can be no other explanation.
Trayvon Martin, there's no way Trayvon Martin is Treyvon Martin could be innocent.
It's impossible.
Not in America, where there's institutional racism against blacks.
It simply isn't possible.
So they've got the 9-1-1 call, and they edit it for time and have it say what they already know to be true.
That's what I think happens with this stuff.
I don't think that they're so open-minded that they think Zimmerman's innocent, but they don't like him and want to make him guilty.
I think from the moment they hear of the incident, Zimmerman's dead, he's guilty.
And they go out and they've got this 9-11 call, and they can prove it.
Just takes a couple snips and they edit it.
But here's what really happened on that 9-1-1 call.
George Zimmerman is talking to the uh 9-1-1 operator, and listen, and you'll hear, and it's not a subtle, I mean it's a glaring difference and a glaring example of how just misrepresentational the first one was.
This guy looks like he's no good or he's on drugs or something.
It's raining, and he's just walking around looking about.
Okay, this guy is he walk like a spectrum.
He looks black.
Okay, so the whole soundbite takes 13 seconds.
NBC's edited version took five seconds.
The edited version, this guy looks like he's in no good, he looks black.
The real 911 call, Zimmerman's asked.
He doesn't describe Trayvon Martin's appearance.
He describes his actions, behaviors, but he does not describe his appearance.
The 911 operator has to ask him.
And Zimmerman does not say he is black.
He says he looks black to me.
It's the last thing on his mind.
But these people think, no, no, Zimmerman went after the guy because he's black.
That's the only reason he went after him.
That's what America is.
It's institutionally racist.
The black people are constantly.
Look at Ferguson, Missouri.
It's how I explain that.
Hands up, don't shoot, didn't happen.
Doesn't matter.
It does somewhere else, and so it may as well have happened.
But the cops are not shooting black kids every day.
Well, they want to, so it may as well have happened here.
We're gonna we're gonna report it that way because everybody knows that's what happens in America.
This is the way the left is.
Uh, particularly their educated ones that come out of journalism school.
This is the way they're taught to put stories together.
Okay, you got this element like the Duke Lacrosse case.
Automatic.
Okay, you have an African American poor exotic dancer.
Oh my god, victim, sex object has to get to go out and humiliate herself to earn an income in this despicable country.
And here come these white, rich lacrosse players.
Hell yes, she's telling the truth.
Damn right they raped her.
There's no question about it.
Except that they didn't.
Well, doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter in this case, it does happen, and they wanted to.
That's who they are.
That's what America is.
This is what they're taught.
That's why when they're shown how wrong they are, they don't admit they're wrong.
They're not wrong.
They've been educated.
They know how racist and bigoted and homophobic the country is.
That's why arguing the truth with them is a worthless exercise.
I learned this my first three years doing media interviews.
I learned there's no way it changed their mind.
They're not after the truth.
They're acting, they're after anything they can do to confirm their bigotry.
They don't call it bigotry, but that's what they are.
Okay, I gotta take quick time out, my friend.
Sit tight, we'll be right back.
Don't go away.
In a letter to parents obtained by WHNT Eyeball TV News, the WF Burns Middle School in Valley, Alabama, the principal, Priscilla Hawley, and the assistant principal Donna Bell have asked each student to bring in a canned food item to use as a weapon to throw at an intruder.
Now we realize at first this may seem odd.
However, it's a practice that would catch an intruder off guard, the letter said.
The canned food item could stun the intruder, even knock him out until the police arrive.
The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves, and it'll make them feel secure in case an intruder enters the classroom with a gun.
I'm not making this up.
Pork and beans as a weapon of defense at this school in Alabama.
Ray Lewis, former linebacker, a Baltimore Ravens in the media today saying the only reason anybody knows who Tom Brady is, is the Tuck rule.
If it weren't for that tuck rule in that game between the Raiders and the Patriots, nobody'd know who Tom Brady is.
Ray Lewis.
The now retired Baltimore Ravens.
I wonder these kids at the WF Burns Middle School, where the principal is uh Priscilla Hawley, and the vice principal is Donna Bell.
I wonder if these kids uh I wonder if they want to go to the to the can range, you know, where they can learn to throw these cans with good aim at somebody walks into their school with a gun.
I'm not making this up.
The canned this is the letter that these um the two women sent home to the parents of the students.
The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive.
The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves and will make them feel secure in case an intruder enters their classroom.
My guy Well I think that well that they could eat the food if it gets stuck in the closet the likely they're going to eat the food anyway and the can's going to be empty by the time the intruder shows up but I think you're gonna if you're gonna give them cans you got to say the can range you gotta have practice.
And we're talking middle school kids here.
Man if if if a can of pork and beans can empower you, think what a gun could do and can a can of pork and beans or green beans or maybe uh tomato soup stop a bullet you don't but aim and they're serious the private company Alice Training Institute will train administrators in in in how to spread this can idea.
The private company offers training courses to prepare schools, churches and other institutions for an active shooter.
So there is a can range of sorts Snurdy's in there shaking his head you think I'm making this up you think I'm you think you you think I'm taking some obscure story making a big deal this is this is mainstream.
Look what do we learned today we had a caller who said that they can't tell that they can't recite the Pledge of Allegiance at her daughter's junior school or middle school, middle high, junior high because it's propaganda.
Now we've got this canned food items as a defense against an armed intruder the insanity just keeps ratcheting it up back to the phones we go Laurie in Western Nebraska it's great to have you thank you so much for waiting.
Welcome to the program it gives whole new meaning to yes we can yes we can throw a can and get shot take this intruder yes we can say say pueda whatever it is.
Laurie I didn't mean to interrupt you just to just I just thought of that wouldn't I it's okay Rush I was I hate to go backwards in the show but you were talking about John Boehner and Barack Obama why Boehner should be angry with Obama taking over separated powers and what I what I call to say was there's more to that than just John Boehner allowing him to do it.
Congress has not only allowed him they've empowered him but so have we the people this country was founded based on a government that was would govern by the consent of the governed and we we the people have got to find a definitive way to withdraw our consent or this country's lost because the Republicans will not save us.
All right so where have we consented to what is happening in Washington actually voted for what all he has done I I think you know I'm not gonna argue with you that that that the American people the brainiacks of the world but they have been greatly deceived here.
They have been deceived but but yet those of us who didn't vote for Obama and who see what's going on we consent every day because we get back on the hamster wheel and we allow a militarized government the ETA the IRS the Department of Education to intimidate us into doing what the government wants us to do.
What do you mean we have which is unconstitutional how are we wait a minute wait a minute how I'm gonna include myself in your charge here.
How am I or you or how are we allowing it?
We're trying to stop it.
The only men are at our disposal is electing people that'll stop it and they refuse to do it.
I don't agree with that.
I have this I yesterday canceled my insurance policy.
I will not comply with Obamacare.
It is not constitutional I did not vote for it.
I will not comply I will not comply.
I will also begin writing the IRS a check for 15% of my income.
If they want more, they'll have to come and get me.
They will I guess if I go to jail for a while, then I'll get cable and I'll even come out of jailhouse attorney.
But I think in good conscience, we are being cowards.
And I just cannot comply anymore with their their constantly.
I'm totally sympathetic.
When they give a recession, I've I don't participate.
I know what you're talking about.
I just I think we have to find a way to say no, Rush, because Congress is not going to do it for us, and we are losing our country.
So you would propose uh that people en masse refuse to play with Obamacare, just refuse to play.
Well, they can't arrest 250,000 of us, and it would be even harder to arrest two and a half million of us, but they would have to address us finally.
Not just during election time when they can flood us with commercials paid for by the Chamber of Commerce, but now I wonder.
I wonder if they would have to address it.
Well, it is almost broke already.
Doesn't matter.
The war on poverty is a joke.
The great society's broke, it never was flush.
And if people stop paying for it, they're going to have to do something about there you go with the IRS again.
You will go to jail.
And they will find a way to make an example of people who publicly flaunt them and try to persuade others.
They will devote every amount of resources they've got to making an example.
I I think they will, Rush, but but someone has to be that person that stands up.
Someone has to stand out.
If our founder spoke like this, we wouldn't be here.
The king was gonna make an example of many people too, and it didn't stop them.
Uh yeah, in fact, I was talking to somebody the other day.
This is totally unrelated to what you said, just jogs that I was talking to somebody the other day who told me that there is more going on in this country that would cause a revolution than the king was doing to the colonists back in the 1700s.
By far.
By far.
Uh John Hancock was one of the wealthiest founders we had, and he was willing to risk everything he had, his life and his freedom.
And I ask you, Rush, you were talking about the VA scandal and what happened to the veterans in this country.
My son was in the Marine Corps.
He watched friends of his that weren't even old enough to drink yet die for his country, and I'm not willing to go to jail and watch cable TV, then why do I deserve the protection of those kids?
Well, you're gonna need a leader for this, you're gonna need an organizer.
People are not self-starters.
Uh that's why they expect their elected officials to do it.
There were no elected officials per se uh back back in the revolutionary war.
I mean, we had the House of Burgesses and other things.
No, but we did have leaders.
We had men willing to stake their lives and their sacred honors on the future of this country.
Right.
If we don't have those people anymore, what is the point of remaining outside of jail because we are not free?
Well, there are ways uh for the states to get involved and and arrest some of this.
There are ways, but I can tell you, Rush, I'm from Nebraska, a deep red state.
And let me tell you what my Nebraska legislator did today, and I am from the most conservative and the largest legislative district in Nebraska.
I'm also from one of the largest congressional districts in the country, because no one lives out here.
I'm in the middle of Sioux County, which is as big as Rhode Island and has fewer than twelve hundred people.
What did he do?
He introduced the medical marijuana law in the state of Nebraska right on the heels of the Nebraska Sheriff's Association suing Colorado for the damage the marijuana law is doing in Colorado.
That's how conservative the quote unquote conservatives.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a second.
What how how in the world is the Colorado marijuana law uh damaging Nebraska?
Are the arrests and the amount of jail time people are now doing in Nebraska from transporting marijuana down I eighty to get to Colorado has been phenomenal.
Well, you know where that's headed, don't you?
Well, and that's and that's not even my point.
I'm one of those people that says if we went back to personal responsibility, we could legalize drugs.
If you want to sit and do heroin all day, that's fine, but if you starve to death on the street, then that's your choice.
But we can't get there.
Because now we can't even be personally responsible for anything we do.
The government has to control everything and excuse every indiscretion of someone who is doing illicit drugs.
But I'm just saying, Rush, these conservative states, these conservative legislatures, aren't nearly as conservative as we think they are.
In my own state, I'm a member of a Tea Party.
I used to do a morning radio show.
I used to keep tabs on our legislature twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
You really are an extremist.
I I must be.
But we we used to have to try, we used to spend every waking moment.
Our legislature was in session to try and keep them from bolting left.
Um if left to their own devices, that's the way they try to.
They will.
That's true of every organization, group, individual.
If it isn't actively conservatism, and by that I mean if it isn't consciously applying conservative core beliefs and principles on a daily basis, it's gonna become liberal.
That's the O'Sullivan law.
It's undeniable.
Uh in uh in Nebraska.
Well, there are people that believe what you want is gonna happen.
There are people that believe, and I talk to them I'm and there are people that don't, but I mean I I know plenty of both.
I know plenty of pessimists, defeatists, fatalists.
Uh, and but I know people who think that they don't know what, but something's gonna happen and cause this massive the tipping point somewhere is gonna be reached.
But they can't tell me what they think it is, when it's gonna happen, who's gonna be responsible for it, but there are people who do have that hope.
Anyway, Laurie, I appreciate the call.
I really do understand where you're coming from 100%.
I gotta go back with more after this, folks.
Sit tight.
Hey, anybody in there watching a new season of Downton Abbey.
You know, watch it?
You like it.
I finished watching it in um, I don't know, what was it?
November.
And it's uh it just keeps getting better.
You just gotta wait till you got the Christmas special, which is actually the last they save it to run at Christmas in the UK.
It's not it's not specifically about Christmas, although it this year it does contain some Christmas.
It's just the last episode.
They run on a Christmas day in the UK.
That's what they call it the Christmas.
Wait.
I don't want to give anything away.
No, I'm not bragging about having the ability.
I'm just telling you, I've seen it.
Yes, they're bringing Twin Peaks back.
Yeah.
You can go buy it on you, you get the original Twin Peaks out there now to whet your whistle.
I never got into that back then.
I've I've thought about going out and and trying it again.
See if uh my different levels and stages of maturity now will give me more patience to watch it.
Because it was a junk show.
As always, folks, a sheer delight.
Great pleasure to be with you each and every day here behind the golden EIB microphone.
Already Wednesday, I can't believe it.
Tomorrow's gonna be Thursday, right?
Fast as three hours in media.
Venezuela's bishops are m are not happy with the Pope.
The Pope, they think has it better come to grips with communism fast, because it's destroying their country, and the Pope's out there advocating it, and these bishops they're asking quit glorifying socialism and communism.
Hell, we can't even find any toilet paper in this country.
Details tomorrow, if I remember to put this on the top, which I'll do.
I won't forget this.
Promise.
See ya then, folks.
