Time Text
The views expressed by the host in this program documented to be almost always right 99.7% of the time.
It's great to have you with us as always, Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone at 800-282-2882.
And the email address L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
Okay, I said I've got a stack on women's stuff.
It's I mean, it's destructive, it's absurd what the left is doing to our women, folks.
It really is an absolute outrage what the feminists, the feminazis, feminist studies, what all this stuff is being done, the way it's affecting our women and the way that is affecting our men who do want to uh interact.
Uh it's it's an attack on the culture.
And I'll give you give you some examples here.
From the Daily Caller.
It's not enough to punish men for things they have not done.
Women must be kept away from men for their own good because of the crimes those men have not committed.
This is not happening in Saudi Arabia.
Not happening in some other third world hellhole.
This is happening right here.
And here's an example from Susan Sir Luga in the Washington Post.
Sorority sisters at the University of Virginia were ordered by their national chapters to avoid fraternity events this weekend.
It's a mandate that many of the women said was irrational, sexist, and contrary to the school's culture.
There are 16 sororities on the University of Ah, don't tell me where's the second page.
Oh well, I don't need it because I've got some pull quotes.
Ah, here it is.
Here it is.
Sorry.
I knew I had printed a second term pages.
All right.
Sixteen sororities on the UVA campus that are part of the National Panhellenic Conference.
More than 2,000 members, according to the campus Inter Sorority Council.
The National Panhelitic Council or Conference can come to order to have the ban lifted or can sorry can come to unanimous agreements among its national presidents that are binding on local chapters and their members.
At some University of Virginia chapters in recent days, students describe mandatory emergency meetings with representatives from their national chapter, telling them they risked suspension, fines, and other penalties if any of them attended bidnight parties at sororities and fraternities.
All because of a fraudulent story in I mean, this is still fallout from that fake rape story in Rolling Stone magazine.
This is this is feminism going backwards like you cannot believe.
Let me sum this up for you.
The heads of the National Sorority Organization, this National Panalinic Council, have threatened University of Virginia women to stay away from boys because there was a fake rape allegation that was made public and since retracted in Rolling Stone.
It goes right to the overall agenda of these feminists, and trust me, the national sororities are run by these people, and they are to scare women away from men while making men scared to look at a girl.
I mean, this is it's incredible what's happening.
They are telling women, and it's always been the case, it's just being ramped up now.
Men are predators, men are rapists, there's a rape culture on campus.
It happens all the time.
Men are doing it.
You are to stay away from it.
You are to avoid men, that's the only way to avoid being raped.
Wait a minute, that story wasn't true.
It doesn't matter that the story was fake.
There is still a rape culture.
The story was valuable because it pointed out the rape culture.
But wait a minute.
It was made up.
The story didn't happen.
There was no rape.
The Rolling Stone article was as wrong as it could be.
Doesn't matter, say the feminists.
The story was valuable because it portrayed what really exists as a culture.
This one instance might not have been right, but that doesn't discount the truth that there's a rape culture out there.
And so these women in sororities are being ordered by the people that run the sororities not to go to any bidnights, no fraternities, don't no partying with men.
You'll get raped.
And by the same token, men.
I mean, this has an impact on men too.
Men think, wait a minute, all I've got to do is look the wrong way, and I'm going to get a rape charge.
This is real.
And what it's this what this is about is power.
Who has power over your life?
Who gets to tell you what you should think and what you should feel and what you should do and what you should say?
Who gets to decide who you can and cannot associate with?
If you happen to be a sorority sister at UVA, it's the National Panalytic Council that's telling you what you should think, how you should feel, what you should do, and what you should say.
You don't get to decide this.
Here is the petition that these.
Now see, here's what I'm faced with.
You people don't know this because I often don't share this with you.
I'm giving you a serious accounting of a very, very rotten thing happening on college campaign.
And I'm being laughed at on the other side of the glass by people who think this is so crazy.
Nobody's going to believe this.
And so I am being made to feel like I'm wasting your time.
This is so stupid.
This is foolish, but I'm not going to be dissuaded by it.
Because I'm going to keep listen to this.
Here's the petition that sorority women are backing.
Instead of addressing rape and sexual assault at University of Virginia, this mandate perpetuates the idea that women are inferior, that they are sexual objects.
It is degrading to Greek women as it appears that the National Pan Hellenic Conference views us as defenseless, and University of Virginia's new fraternal policies is invalid.
Allowing the sorority head honchos to prevent us from celebrating what used to be a tight-knit community sends the message that we are weak.
The women are rejecting it.
The sorority sisters are telling the feminist leaders to go to hell.
And they are exactly right.
These women are finally getting it.
They figure out what's going on.
The feminist leaders are looking at other women as helpless, weak, incompetent, incapable, they're too stupid to avoid men that'll rape them.
They're too stupid to avoid men that'll hurt them.
They're too stupid to avoid situations where they will be put at risk.
Just the way leftists look at everybody.
Doesn't matter if it's a bunch of women organizations or whether it's the Democrat Party looking at the poor, Democrat Party looking at the middle class.
The thing that's interesting here is that the sorority members at UVA, some of them are rebelling against this.
Now, here's the original story from the Washington Post.
And it's by this this uh Susan.
Well, I didn't print the whole thing out.
Ah, yes, I did here.
I'm not gonna read the whole thing so you don't sweat it.
I'm just gonna leave it in the highlights.
UVA sorority sisters ordered to stay home Saturday night for their own safety.
Now keep in mind, this is all because of a fake rape story in Rolling Stone.
It's all because of a story that never happened.
And the people know it didn't happen, but that doesn't matter to them.
The fact that it didn't happen and yet was reported on, is all the evidence they need to prove that there is a rape culture on campus.
And there isn't.
Just like cops are not shooting innocent 18-year-old blacks every day.
Women are not being raped on campus in droves every day, every weekend, every whatever.
But the leaders, feminism, leaders of the civil rights community want everybody to think that both of those things are happening.
It gives them the opportunity to control, to Dictate.
And it also gives them the opportunity to essentially shape the kind of people they want to control.
Defenseless, helpless, incompetent, or what have you.
Sorority sisters UVA were ordered by their national chapters to avoid fraternity events this weekend, a mandate that many of the women said was irrational and sexist and contrary to Skrull's culture.
It's not about one night a party, several students said, but about their ability to make their own choices, and they're not taking that lightly.
The rule came after a traumatic fall semester at Charlottesville, including the violent death of a student and now discredited allegations of a gang rape at a UVA fraternity, both forced a thorough examination of campus safety, drinking culture, and Greek life.
University administration just days ago lifted a suspension of fraternity and sorority activities that came in the wake of the fake allegations.
A break that the university community used to have a broad discussion about student safety in the Greek system, something that did not happen, has spawned brand new massive regulations and restrictions and sensitivity training seminars, broad discussions on student safe, something that did not happen.
A crisis is a terrible thing to go to waste.
And even though it didn't happen, the leaders are then permitted or permit themselves to have seminars and sensitivity training sessions on the concept that men are rapists, that that's their natural state, that they are predators, and that you women are not capable of defending yourself.
You're not qualified to recognize it.
You're not good enough to withstand it, and the leadership of the university is not strong enough in punishing it.
And so we are just going to separate you from men from now on.
That's the only way you can be safe.
Now the men who are not even part of this, but hear about it, okay, the women are not prevented.
The men then think, look, nobody wants to be dragged into a rape charge, particularly a fake one in Rolling Stones.
So how do you avoid that?
You avoid women.
And beyond that, you avoid going to college, which is also happening.
Telling you that this the destructive things, many of the destructive things that are happening to the culture across the spectrum, are rooted in these places that you are spending 20,000, 25,000 a year, in some cases, semester, to send your kids to for education, universities.
It's incredible.
Right after this.
Yes, another story here, my friends, about how Hillary Clinton has been MIA.
This is from KMBZ in Kansas City.
Hillary Clinton been MIA lately, and here's why.
And it's a strict, she's playing it safe.
She's keeping out of the spotlight because that lowers the chances of making mistakes that could come back to haunt her.
And everybody knows the the less she appears, the higher her numbers.
The more she appears, the more she speaks, the more her numbers plummet.
But it's also she's she's meeting with advisors to come up with policy and position papers and all these things that you would think that Mrs. Clinton, after a lifetime in politics, would know what she believes.
You would think that we would know and that she would know after all of these years what she thinks about XYZ.
But yet she's sequestered, hidden from public view, nailing down what she thinks about things with advisors and so forth.
And I'm telling you what they're doing.
They are trying to find ways to make her appear inauthentic.
They don't dare let Hillary be Hillary.
That's the problem she has.
So they're trying to concoct policies and behavioral techniques.
They're working with her On how she appears in public, how she speaks in public after all of these years.
Here's the presumed nominee who they do not dare let loose and behave on her own.
You would think after all these years, and she's a lock for the nomination, she wouldn't need any advisors.
She wouldn't need to revise her policy positions.
She wouldn't need to have to learn to how speak publicly without irritating people.
Because by definition, if she's the presumed nominee, people love her.
She wouldn't even have to worry about irritating people.
The fact that this is going on, the fact that they've got her sequestered, the fact that they're trying to keep her from public view.
Now who knows what other kind of work is being done.
But the fact that all this is going on is proof positive she's not a lock, is proof positive that none of this PR about her is true.
In the meantime, back to the phones, Mark in Southern California, ten years old, I'm told.
Mark, welcome to the program.
It's great to have you here.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Um I really enjoyed your uh Rush Revere series of books.
I'm I just finished the second one, and I loved in the second one how you um did the Stamp Act and you told the truth about that, and then Liberty did his Stomp Act.
Well, that's what we try to do.
Uh Mark, we try to get the truth in every one of these books.
Yeah, I really learned a lot in these.
Well, that's that's that's also good.
I mean, that's exactly what we're trying to do is uh because there's you know you you're you're gonna hear all kinds of things about American history as you grow up, and some of them are going to be true, and some of them are not.
And what we wanted to do with this series of books is to make sure that young people like you uh learned as much of the truth of the founding of this country as possible.
Because Mark, if I can tell you truthfully from the bottom of my heart, I want you to love this country the way I do.
I hope you end up loving this country and understanding what's special about it, and I hope you love it so much that you want to join all the other people when you get older who are trying to preserve it and keep it the way it is.
And that's why we're doing the books.
And also to have you have fun.
We want you to enjoy the stories.
We've written these books so that I mean you actually part of the story, the books take you right there, rather than just recite them and tell you about them in sort of a boring, dull way.
So I'm happy to hear that you love the book.
Um, yeah, they were great, and uh, just like to say that it's amazing how we share the same political views.
I love your show, I'm a big fan of you.
Ten years old?
And you you love the show, we share the same political views?
Yep.
That's awesome.
That is fantastic.
How long have you been listening to the show, Mark?
Um, a year and a half, actually.
A year and a half, and you've picked up already on what this show's all about.
You must be you must be wicked smart, that's all I can say.
Thank you.
It's obvious.
Listen this listening to you speak.
You obviously are wicked smart.
You're very articulate.
And I'm the the f you're welcome.
And the fact that you love these books, that shows what a great character you have.
Your p your parents, your parents have got to be really proud of you, are they?
Yes.
That's good because they should be.
Now, Mark, I'll tell you have you have you uh got all three books?
Do you have all three, and you've only gotten to the second one, or do you not have all three?
I don't have the third one.
Oh.
Well, I think I can take care of that.
Thank you so much, you're that's my pleasure.
I tell I just need you to hang on so that Mr. Snerdley can get an ad.
Make sure you get your parents permission for me to do this too, okay?
Yeah, um, my parents uh my mom is actually listening to every word I say right now.
Well, cool.
Excellent.
Well, so then obviously she'll grant you permission to receive the third book.
And we'll we'll throw some other stuff in the uh in the package.
And and uh I thank you.
I'm I'm really glad you took the time to call.
And it's uh it's a thrill, Mark.
I hope you I hope you continue to love America the way you do now, okay?
Okay.
All right, now don't hang up.
Ten years old, folks, this proves the truth is ageless.
And the and the truth is uh is timeless.
You know what else I'm beginning to think?
If you know every young person that calls it, eight years old, ten years old, twelve years old.
Do you notice how well spoken they all are?
Do you notice how articulate they all are?
I'm beginning to think, folks, that just reading my books helps to make these kids well spoken.
What other explanation could there be?
Well, their parents, obviously, yes.
But uh, I mean, each one of these calls, I mean, this is the I mean, every one of these represent a bullseye, folks.
This is exactly the target market, if you will.
These are the people we hope, the young kids we hope to reach, and of course their parents and grandparents too.
Uh because there's so much distortion of the truth of this country out there, so much distortion of the founding.
And it's important that people learn the truth, the country they live in that they're going to inherit, probably lead in some of these kids' cases some days.
But I really do.
You know, I I I do, I actively appreciate and love this country every day and the things that it stands for and represents in me.
The opportunity that it presents to virtually anybody.
They're willing to do what it takes to access it.
And I want everybody, I want everybody to feel about this country.
Think about this country the way I do.
And that's why there is the Rush Revere series.
Time travel adventures with exceptional Americans back after this.
Don't go away, folks.
Now, earlier we had a guy call and uh said, Well, understand this, Rush.
What is militant Islamist extremism and extremism in the name of Islam?
Who what are they trying to tell us?
And I told him.
I said, what they're really trying to do is make you think that the people committing all these atrocities, acts of terror and beheadings, are not Islamists.
They really want you to believe they're fake.
They want you to believe it's a bunch of phonies who are making themselves look like Al Qaeda or look like ISIS or look like the Corazon group, whatever.
But they're not.
They're just standard everyday thugs and criminals, like every country has.
And these people are just a bunch of wacko extremists, and they're doing it in the name of Islam.
And they are doing it to impugn the name of Islam.
But we at the Obama administration, we know they're not Islamists.
They're not Muslims, and that's why we're not going to let them get away with impugning Islam.
That's what they really want you to believe.
And if you don't believe that, listen to this.
This is the White House press secretary, Josh Ernest, just moments ago.
Jonathan Carl of ABC News said yesterday it was said the White House does not consider the Taliban to be a terror organization.
Now come on, Josh, how is that consistent with the designation that the Treasury Department has on its list of specially designated terrorist groups, which clearly lists the Taliban.
So, does the administration consider the Taliban a terrorist organization or not?
Now listen to this answer.
They do carry out tactics that are akin to terrorism.
They do pursue terror attacks in an effort to try to advance their agenda.
And by designating them in the way that you have described, uh, does allow the United States to put in place uh some financial sanctions against the leaders of that organization.
In a way that's been beneficial to our ongoing efforts uh against the Taliban.
Now, it's important to draw a distinction between the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Uh the Taliban has resorted to terror tactics.
Uh, but those terror tactics have principally been focused on Afghanistan.
Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization that has aspirations that extend beyond just the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
So you see, the Taliban committing acts of terror against their own people in in in Afghanistan.
That's not terrorism.
That's just a Taliban behaving as a bunch of thugs and criminals.
Now, Al Qaeda, huh?
Different story.
Because Al Qaeda, they do the same stuff the Taliban does, but they do it outside of Afghanistan and all kinds now.
That's terrorism.
These guys are trying to slice this so thin.
This is actually embarrassing.
This insult to everybody's intelligence that this administration is now engaged in.
The Taliban isn't terrorist because they don't do it outside Afghanistan.
And but they are trying to advance their agenda, but it's just criminal acts.
It's extremism, it's in the name of the Taliban, as they say.
Now, okay, that's a little different thing, but don't doubt me when I tell you they are trying to convince you that the people committing these acts of terror are not Muslim.
That's what their objective is.
It's just a bunch, like every society has a bunch of bad guys in it.
Gangs, individual, rotten criminals.
And sometimes we have criminals in this country that try to make themselves look like Jesse James.
We have criminal gangs that try to make themselves look like the Crips when they're the bloods.
Well, that's what's going on here, they want us to believe.
It's just your average unhappy militant resident of, say, Islamabad, who decides to go somewhere and make himself look like an Islamist and then commit acts of terror in that name.
But he's really not a member of any terrorist.
That's that's how finally they are trying to define this.
And the reason for it is it's your wild guess.
Why they are hellbent on not admitting that this is inspired by Islam.
You tell me.
And before you say anything about Obama, this happened long before Obama came on the scene.
The State Department started doing this under Bush.
Terrorism wasn't terrorism, remember?
We couldn't pronounce the word, we couldn't call it terrorism.
We had meetings at the State Department after 9-11, convened to discuss the proposition, why do they hate us so much?
As though we played a role in 9-11.
We must have deserved it.
We must have done something to tick them off.
What did we do?
Why do we dislike us so much?
Well, right now they're doing everything they can to try to convince you that ISIS that's not Islam.
Now, is it that they're afraid of Charles Hebdo type things happening here?
And if they think they appease them by not properly identifying them that they'll leave us alone?
Are they that dumb?
Are they that short-sighted and stupid?
Hard to believe that.
So what would be the reason?
Why go through all of these asinine contortions?
Well, no, this is not terrorism.
This is extremism in the name of terrorism.
This isn't Islam.
This is extremism in the name of Islam.
So they're not really Islamists and Muslims.
They're just a bunch of people that are trying to impugn those nice people from the religion of peace.
But it's not just, folks, it's not just here.
Al Jazeera.
Shortly after news broke of a deadly January 27 attack by Islamic terrorists at a hotel in Libya's capital.
Al Jazeera English executive Carlos Van Meek shot out an email to his employees.
It said, We manage our words carefully around here.
So I'd like to bring to your attention some key words that uh have a tendency of tripping us up.
He warned that the journalists at Al Jazeera should no longer use the terms terrorists, militant, Islamist, and jihad.
Because he said one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fight.
That is so old, that has become a cliche.
But now it happens to be governing policy at the Al Jazeera, supposed news network.
The word extremist was labeled off limits to Al Jazeera journalists.
Avoid characterizing people, Van Meek said.
There's ever a guy with a right name for what he's doing.
It's this guy, Van Meek.
Often their actions do the work for the viewer.
Do Not use Van Meek said of the term Islamist.
He described it as a simplistic label, Islamist.
According to Van Meek's instructions, Al Jazeera English employees are not to use the Arabic term jihad either.
Instead of terrorists, Van Meek told his employees to use the terms fighters and militants.
But only in certain contexts.
This sounds like it could come from AP.
Sounds like it come from the White House.
You know, folks, I got fired once for using the word therefore.
Of course I was set up, you can't not use the word therefore.
At some point you're going to use it in normal everyday conversation.
But you should have heard the coaching sessions I got.
What was happening in my case?
They didn't have a reason to fire me, but they wanted to, because I was too controversial.
But I was a hard worker.
I was showing up early every day, staying late, doing everything.
I loved it.
But they just were nervous about it.
They didn't have any cause.
They had to create circumstances or orders that I would violate just by being alive.
That would give them grounds.
And one of the things I was forbidden to say was therefore.
And you should have, I mean, the instructions, do not, it was a memo.
Do not in any further discussions on air, use the word therefore.
The word is confusing to many listeners.
To some listeners, therefore can mean whatever.
And to other listeners, therefore could also stand for the fact that you're calling someone a liar.
Or that you could be expressing disbelief in what you've heard.
So do not use so if it was two weeks later, and I happen to use the word therefore, got called in, coaching session for an hour, and the whole thing was designed to make me frustrated and quit.
This is reliving this, it's different circumstances, but this is all absurd.
So you tell me why all of this bending over forwards, backwards, whatever, not to describe accurately what everybody knows is happening.
What do you think?
Do you think it's just nothing more than fear?
There's got to be something besides, because it's not, it's it's not just Al Jazeera, it's the it's the White House, it's the State Department.
White House labels Taliban armed insurgency, not terrorists.
Muslim Brotherhood Aligned Leaders hosted at State Department.
You hear about this one?
State Department hosted a delegation of Muslim Brotherhood Aligned Leaders this week for a meeting about their ongoing efforts to oppose the current government of President Al Sisi of Egypt.
It's it is it feels like 1938, 1939, all over again.
Got to take another time out, folks, because of the constraints of broadcast time, but we'll be right back.
Sit tight.
Now here's the thing about this, folks.
So much that's jaw dropping.
And nobody in Washington wants to discuss this.
Muslim scripture, this is in Andrew, Andrew McCarthy, our old buddy here, and so he's written about this.
He's he's trying to get as many people as he can to listen.
He's researched it for for trials.
Muslim scrupture, the scripture commands Muslims to kill Jews.
In the scriptures, Muhammad himself says, at the end of the world, Allah will have the trees and the stones help Muslims kill Jews.
It's just, it's there's no.
And yet all this is going, we can't call them this name, don't describe this, what's going on.
And while that's going on, the the White House has sent a campaign team to Israel to help the leftist opponents of Netanyahu.
Our one ally in the region, and Obama has decided to enter the prime minister campaign there.
And to help advise, and who knows what else, the opponents of Netanyahu.
Now, I don't know if that's unprecedented.
Uh Clinton might have done something similar.
I'm not exactly sure.
But it stands common sense upside down.
That's it, folks, another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence in the can.
Be back tomorrow, open line Friday.
