Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Ladies and gentlemen, you remember all of these years, ten years ago, 15 years ago, all the way back to the early 90s.
You remember all of these rhino Republicans, these elitist establishment Republicans, telling the conservatives, you guys better drop the social issues.
You better drop it.
We're not going to win diddly squad if you keep harping on abortion.
We're not going to win diddly squad.
You keep harping on the social issues of morale.
You got to drop it.
We got to focus on the economy.
Do you remember all of that?
Isn't it amazing now?
With that sage and salient advice from the establishment of the Republican Party.
Guess what has become the dominant factor in American politics?
Why, it's the social issues, isn't it?
And look at the 180 that has occurred.
Guess who owns the social issues?
The Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party and the militant American left are running to victory after victory after victory, using the social issues that are important to them, that the Republican Party gladly, willingly, happily decided to de-emphasize and to cede CEDE.
In other words, concede, give up.
Years ago.
I find it fascinating.
We also, ladies and gentlemen, I am told the media, while they take time out from destroying businesses in Indiana, is breathless over the fact that we might be, it could be, we might have an Iranian nuke deal.
This is another thing that puzzles me.
Since when do leftists sit idly by while an American president helps a country go nuclear.
I thought nuclear proliferation was as bad as being a conservative Christian to the militant left.
I will never forget, ladies and gentlemen, growing up, well, I was grown up by then, but it's uh when it's the eighties.
It's during the uh presidency of Ronaldus Magnus, and Phil Donahue is doing his show every morning afternoon, depending on when it aired where you lived.
And it was devoted to peacnicks and peace marchers, the peace movement, anti-nuclear people.
I will never forget.
One memorable episode of Donahue, the child actress at the time, Laura Dern appeared, the daughter of Bruce Dern and uh one of his uh baby mamas, as the term is in Hollywood.
She was about 18 or 19 at the time.
And she literally broke down in tears.
It appeared that she was having a an actual panic attack on Phil Donahue's sofa.
And she was begging the studio audience and the TV audience to try to understand how unsettling and how scary and how frightening it was to grow up in an era where all it took to destroy everything was the punch or push of one button.
And she was she lost her composure.
She's crying and she's screaming.
Don't you understand?
It's scary.
How can we be expected to grow up with this kind of fear surrounding us all the time?
Audience applauded, Donna Hugh gave her high five, all that.
The message was nukes are bad.
The message was nukes are destructive, nukes are horrible, and we can't be expected to live and grow normally in a nuclear world.
And by the way, as an added note, it was always the United States having nuclear weapons that was the problem.
And that was because the president happened to be a Republican, it was Ronaldus Magnus.
And anything Reagan did, like deploying uh uh missiles in Europe, any language that Reagan used that properly described the Soviet Union, such as calling them the evil empire.
Oh, that scared Laura Dern to death because that was provocative.
That might make them launch a nuke.
I mean, folks, I'm not kidding.
She literally lost her composure, crying, sobbing, jumping up and down on the sofa, begging people to understand how tough it was to be a young person in America in the 80s living amidst the omnipresent nuclear threat.
Message was nukes are bad.
Any president who doesn't understand that is bad.
We need to begin to disarm.
We need to have start talks with the Soviets.
We need to engage in getting rid of our nuclear weapons.
And when Obama was elected, that's the impression he gave, and it's one of the reasons some leftists and young people liked him.
He even said he was going to start getting rid of our nuclear stockpile regardless what the rest of the world did.
And shortly before the 2012 midterms, he's having a meeting with uh Dmitry Medvedev, the uh the Munchkin-like uh uh right hand to Vladimir Putin, and the subject of nuclear weapons came up, and Obama was caught on a microphone that he didn't know was live, saying, tell Vladimir to be patient.
I'll have a lot more flexibility after the election, meaning the one in 2012, and he was telling Medvedev, just be cool.
I'll be able to get rid of a whole bunch more nukes after I win.
So as recently as three years ago, two years ago, nuclear proliferation was the exact opposite of what we were talking about.
Everybody believed that we were on the way to disarming and reducing a number of nukes.
But my point overall is leftists all of a sudden now are applauding and celebrating a brand new nation being whelped into the nuclear fold.
And of all nations, it's Iran.
When did this transformation happen?
I asked.
Since when do leftists, lunatic insane leftists sit idly by, in some cases not sitting idly, in some cases, they're applauding and supporting an American president helping an evil oil-producing country to boot.
Iran ought to be the absolute worst place on earth if leftists are honest about themselves.
Iran produces oil.
Iran murders, executes homosexuals.
Do you know?
That Apple Incorporated has more stores selling iPhones and iPads in Tehran than they do in all of Indiana.
And yet the CEO sees fit to describe life in Indiana as unfit and un-American.
While there are more stores in one city in Iran selling Apple products, in a country that executes homosexuals when they are discovered.
And no sense of irony is seen.
No sense of hypocrisy is seen.
So we have a country that's the state sponsor of terrorism, acknowledged to be.
We have a country that is a huge producer of oil, which the left supposedly detests and hates and reviles and despises.
Because it's polluting and it's ugly.
And it's what the Koch brothers do.
Ooh, yuck, oil, no blood for all that.
Here's a country that executes homosexuals, stones to death, women who dare to speak up, dare to complain about being raped.
If a woman in Iran gets raped and complains about it, they punish her.
A country that produces oil and threatens innocent people the world over with state-sponsored terrorism, and now the president of the United States is about to enable them getting a nuclear weapon, and leftists sit idly by.
Leftists are so concerned, so disturbed, so upset, so panicked about what's going on in Indiana.
Something doesn't sound right here to me.
If the leftists were being honest, if the leftists were true to form, they'd be opposing Obama and everything he's trying to do in Iran.
Helping a country that butchers gays, butchers women, denies if civil rights is not even a concept in this country, human rights, not even a concept, plus they have oil.
The president of the United States sitting by helping them be go uh go or become nuclear.
Yay!
We love Obama!
Barack Hussein Oh, yeah.
Doesn't make any sense to me.
Barack Hussein Oh is helping Iran with the two things that leftists said would destroy the planet nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons and a third thing, oil.
If there was no oil, they wouldn't have any reason to go raining around complaining about global warming.
How about the carbon footprint of Iran?
Why do we never hear about that?
This is quite a flip, folks, and I'm not being facetious here.
Like the religious Freedom Restoration Act, when Obama voted for it as a state senator in Illinois, and when Bill Clinton signed it into law, it was a godsend.
Oh, they thanked God, they praised God, and they were celebratory of this law.
When a Republican governor approves the very same law, it's the work of the devil.
It's the work of Satan.
Barack Obama signed a religious freedom restoration act, and he's pushing hard for a nuclear Iran, nuclear power, nuclear weapons.
Liberals embrace this?
Liberals applaud this.
So were they never really afraid of nuclear weapons?
Have they never really been opposed to nuclear power?
Was all that fake?
Was all that ginned up?
Was all that simply the way they gave voice to their opposition to Republicans, such as Ronaldus Magnus?
We are left to confused because this is a huge 180.
How in the world do you spend your entire life telling the country that nuclear anything is disastrous?
And you sit idly by why a state sponsor of terrorism, which murders and executes gays and women, goes nuclear with the aid and assistance of a bunch of leftists that run America at the moment.
Barack Hussein O and the hapless and haughty John Kerry.
John Franco Carey, who once served in Vietnam.
It appears that liberals don't know what they're supposed to think on any given subject at any given time.
They simply hope they can run to the front of the mobs.
The mobs are also fake, by the way.
You ever stop to think that every news story, practically every well, every news story that has created massive controversy from coast to coast in this country?
Have you ever stopped to think that it's all fake?
Hands up, don't shoot.
Did not happen.
There were no rapes by frat houses and frat boys at the University of Virginia.
Lena Dunham cannot prove that she was raped by a conservative at Oberlin College, where she reputedly attended.
The Duke Lacrosse case was totally manufactured and made up.
It did not happen.
And on and on and on.
Eric Garner in New York was not killed by a cop chokehold.
He died with a heart attack on the way to the hospital.
But never mind.
Every Indiana, There is no discrimination against homosexuals in Indiana.
All of this is drummed up and fake.
Every one of these stories is fake.
And when they are exposed as fake, such as the Rolling Stone University of Virginia rape story, when they are exposed as fake.
How does the journalists responsible for the fakery and his or her accomplices and the rest of the drive-by media respond?
They say it may be, it may be fake.
But it doesn't matter.
Because we know it's happening elsewhere.
We know rape is happening all over this country.
Campus after campus after campus.
It may not have happened there.
It may not have happened in this case at the University of Virginia.
But we know it's happening.
And we have raised everybody's consciousness level about it.
And so it was good.
And once again, we're drawn back to the nature of the evidence when it comes to liberalism, irrelevant.
The seriousness of the charge.
In this case, the seriousness of the charge is that men are raping women on college camp eye all the time, every day, and it's gotten out of hand.
Another fake premise is that white cops are murdering and executing innocent black children every day.
And if it's gotten out of hand, we gotta stop it.
But it doesn't happen.
And it hasn't happened.
And now we are off on another totally manufactured, made up, fake story that there is rampant, wanton Christian discrimination against loving homosexuals all over Indiana.
It isn't true.
You've heard about the story.
The local TV affiliate, ABC Eyeball News affiliate, walks into a pizza store 30 minutes south of Indianapolis.
They just walk in.
There's no reason.
The store hasn't made any news.
Nobody inside the store said anything.
The media is going door to door.
They are shopping and hoping to find what they claim is discrimination and bigotry.
So they walk into this pizza store after failing to find a business that meets their needs.
They're just going door to door.
And they walk in, they finally find a naive woman who admits.
No, we wouldn't cater a gay wedding because of our Christian views.
Never mind, they never have.
They've never been asked to.
They've never said no.
They've never refused to cater.
It was totally made up, but that's not the story.
The media is making it the story, but it's what happens after the drive-by media person goes into the fake, goes into the business and concocts this fake story.
It's what happens afterwards that is really fake.
I have to take a brief time out here, my friends, as I'm up against it once again on the constraints of time and the programming formats.
Rushly bought 800-282-2882, we will be right back.
It is, it's amazing.
All these years, the Republican establishment demanding drop the social issues, they're gonna kill us, drop them, get rid of them, we don't want to hear about them, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And now the social issues are all that matters.
You try to get people talking about economics, which is what the uh Republican establishments talk about, nobody cares.
All they're devoted to is social issues, except the left owns them now.
The left owns the social issues.
We are free to talk about social issues all we want now, folks, because the left owns them.
Yeah, we're talking about the social issues the left cares about now, and so it's perfectly fine.
And all of a sudden, as I point out, the left seems to be in support of the spreading of nuclear weapons, the proliferation of nuclear weapons to a terrorist nation with oil that executes gays and punishes women for daring to speak up, it's fine and dandy that they get nuclear weapons.
It's fine and dandy that we have relations with them.
It's fine and dandy that we negotiate with them, it's fine and dandy that we accord them great respect, that we talk them up.
No, the real enemy in the United States of America at this moment is Indiana.
And by extension, Christianity.
It's an all-out wall, ladies and gentlemen.
And in fact, it's proceeding at full speed, with nobody having the slightest idea how to stop it.
How to return fire.
How many of you saw the story that the Department of Justice has decided not to seek any criminal contempt charges against the former IRS official Lois Lerner.
The central figure in a scandal that erupted over whether the IRS improperly targeted.
There's no scandal about whether they did it.
There's no scandal over whether the IRS improperly targeted conservative political groups.
They did it.
The scandal is that nothing's gonna be done about it.
America's real anchor man and the doctor of democracy, Rush Limbaugh with talent on loan from God.
That alone is enough to frighten and offend the leftists in this audience.
Anyway, folks, it's great to have you with us.
Telephone numbers 800 28282 and the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
So Alisa Morino is an infobabe reporterette for ABC Eyeball News 57 in South Bend, Indiana.
And she went shopping the other day.
She got her crew and she went shopping for bigots.
She wanted to find racists.
She wanted to find anti-gay Christian zealots.
She didn't have any evidence that there were any.
There had been no news made about any anti-gay discrimination in Indiana.
None.
But that didn't matter.
Because the news in Indiana is not real, it's fake, as was the news out of Ferguson, Missouri.
As was the news at the University of Virginia, and the Fred House supposed rape and so-called Duke LaCrosse case, the news that makes it big in America today is all fake.
So Elisa Marino, hoping to make an impression on big time TV news executives, goes shopping for bigotry.
Because there isn't any.
There isn't any on the surface.
She can't find any.
She can't find any clothing stores, bake shops, or photography stores that are refusing to serve homosexuals.
So she literally goes knocking on doors of various businesses.
And she finds a little pizzeria that's 20 miles south of her home base in South Bend, Indiana.
And she walks in and she finds a very young and naive but willing to talk to her, because it's the news media that just showed up.
Woman that owns and operates or works at a very tiny little pizza store.
And Alisa Marino asks her if she were asked to cater with her pizzas.
A gay wedding, would she?
And she said, I can only answer this the honest way.
I would not.
My religious beliefs are such that gay marriage is something that I don't believe in, and I would not.
Now the fact of the matter is this little pizza shop had never once been asked to cater a wedding, gay or otherwise.
Has anybody in this audience ever been to a wedding catered by pizza?
Seriously, I mean I mean there's all kinds of weddings here.
There's all kinds of weddings.
I haven't either.
I've never been to a wedding where pizza was the pri anywhere on the menu.
And catered.
But it doesn't matter.
And there wasn't one in Indiana either, and this little pizza store had never done it, had never been asked, had never gone to a wedding and never catered a wedding, and never made pizzas for anybody that had anything to do with gay marriage, gay weddings, or what have you.
Didn't stop the info, babe.
The infobabe reports that we've got a real bigot.
Look at this little girl.
I've got her On tape here.
This woman hates homosexuals.
She would not cater a gay wedding, and she says so.
That, ladies and gentlemen, still isn't the story.
Because that's the media being the media.
The media is who they are, and that isn't going to change.
The real story is what happened after Alisa Marino aired that piece.
As a brief departure, you've you've seen the Dana Bash of CNN interview with uh with Dingy Harry.
Dana Bash loves Dingy Harry, one of his bigger fans in the media, idolizes him.
And she asked him about his claim on the Senate floor that Mitt Romney had never paid his taxes for ten years.
And Dingy Harry's response was he didn't win, did he?
Admitted lying about it, effectively.
It didn't matter.
Romney wasn't producing his tax returns.
The Democrats wanted to force that so they could tag him as rich elitist out of touch, hates poor people kind of guy.
So Dingy Harry makes it up, makes up a totally fake claim, a friend that he didn't identify.
Yeah, Mitt Romney hadn't paid his taxes in ten years.
You have any evidence of that?
I'm not up to me to provide the evidence.
It's Romney that hadn't paid his taxes.
Go ask him.
Wait a minute, you're making the allegations.
Except Danabash didn't do this.
Nobody in the media said to Dingy Harry, where's your evidence?
Who is this friend?
We need to talk.
They just ran with it.
And Dingy Harry said, hey, he didn't pay his tax.
Go talk to him.
He's the one with the problem.
He didn't pay his taxes.
He now has to prove he didn't pay his taxes.
Why?
Because you say he didn't?
Damn right.
You gotta go ask him.
Well, there happened to be an infobabe reporter, and actually a guy in Las Vegas who wrote a column about this.
And the editor refused to run the column because the editor was protecting Harry Reid, too.
It was the last column the guy ever wrote.
My point is the media is going to do what the media does.
The media is an extension of the Democrat Party, and there's nothing that's going to change that.
What has to change, and it's been the purpose of this program for 25 years educating the public, informing the public so that they know when they're being lied to by the drive-by media.
The story is not that this little infobabe walked into the pizza store and found a naive young girl to admit that they would not serve pizza at a gay wedding.
Never mind, they'd never been asked to.
They'd never refused.
It hadn't happened.
Totally fake and made up.
And now this store is closed and shut down.
This is the real story.
Death threats have begun pouring in to the people that own this pizza shop.
Other threats of bodily harm and violence.
All kinds of tweets and emails are pouring in by the hundreds and the thousands.
The real story is how that happens.
Now, what we are to believe is that ABC 57 South Bend finds this bigot lurking in the shadows of a pizza shop 20 miles south of South Bend.
What a great story.
This might be worth a pull it's here.
Look what we've uncovered here.
A real life breathing homophobe disguised as a pizzeria owner.
They run the story, and then within minutes, minutes, this store is inundated with tweets and emails and threats to the point they have to shut down for their own safety.
The real story is how that happens.
You are made to believe that it is genuine outrage that a majority of Americans are simply unwilling to tolerate this kind of bigotry in their pizza shop owners.
And that all it takes is one report from a local Channel 57, South Bend ABC station, and the entire country is outraged and is demanding that this shop close and the people that run it be penalized somehow.
That is not what happens.
I briefly touched on this yesterday.
That same kind of attack that you have seen on this pizza shop occurs every day to sponsors of this program and others, and it's been going on for years.
It even has a name.
It's called a Stop Rush movement.
And it's the exact same thing.
We finally, after a number of years of this, invested in research.
And I want to repeat what I said yesterday, what we found as it relates to the Stop Rush Movement.
We found that there are of 85% of all the tweets and emails threatening sponsors of this program are created by 10 people.
We know their names.
We know where they live.
We have released this information in the form of press release to drive-by media outlets.
They refuse to run it, predictably, but we know who these people are.
We know where they live.
One of them's a madcap environmentalist wacko in Camarello, California, another's a retired, I think active college professor somewhere in the Northeast New Hampshire, I think.
And they have developed, in cooperation with some associates, Twitter, an algorithm that creates fake tweets, generates fake tweets in the thousands, made to look like they're coming from real people, who in this case despise me, or in the case of this pizza joint, hate this little girl owning the pizza joint, this young woman that owns the pizza.
They hate her.
In a matter of minutes, they're able to gin this up.
There aren't that many people that outraged over this reacting in such a way.
This is fake as well.
I'm convinced of it.
It's drummed up.
It's made to look like something that's not.
Not only have we found that ten people are responsible for 85% of the fake complaints, we have found that an even greater percentage than that come from locations not even in the same city where the business is located.
And they are threatening never to s never to never to patronize.
Sometimes they make death threats, sometimes it's the same thing.
But it's been going on.
George Soros pays for it in many cases.
He's the one who funds this.
But I want to stress it's not just me.
I mean, there's uh the the stop rush movement is it it floats, and right now it's focused on anybody in Indiana they don't like.
And they have perfected this technique where 10, 15 people with an algorithm can make it appear that thousands and thousands of individuals are outraged to the point of being unaccepting of what's going.
They send all of these tweets and all of these threats, and it forces this little pizza shop to shut down.
When in fact it's not anywhere near just it's as fake as the news story is.
It's as fake as hands up, don't shoot was.
We have researched it.
We know.
But not everybody's going to take the time to do the research and prove it to themselves and just passing it on to other people.
It's not sometimes, and we've shown it to all kinds of people, and we've had we've had success beating it back.
But to people that are not involved in this kind of thing, and they're all of a sudden the victim of an onslaught like this, they get scared to death, which is the purpose, and they shut down their product, they shut down their business, and they shut down their store.
And they say they have to do it because their lives have been threatened, and they no doubt have by fake generated tweets made to look real.
Have you noticed also something else?
There's a there's a website called GoFundMe.
Remember there was a um uh uh an arts and craft store in St. Louis of Ferguson that in the middle of the looting there got destroyed.
It was a woman that had nothing, she was not protesting.
She didn't care, she wasn't involved in it one way or the other.
She had saved every bit of money she'd had, every dime she had she saved, and she invested in this art store, whatever it was, and it got destroyed in the rioting.
And this website, GoFundMe, set up a fund where people all over the country could contribute, and she ended up getting three or four times what her store was worth in donations from the American people so she could rebuild and reopen, and that's happening now with the pizza store.
And have you ever noticed that in every instance, the reaction response in defense of the victims is always greater and always more substantive and always more real than the original onslaught of supposed tweets and emails coming in from the so-called outraged over what this pizzeria girl said.
In just a few short hours, they had raised over $125,000 to help this pizzeria state of the people that don't even know them, people that'll never go there.
There are people in this country who know what's going on.
They understand it.
They understand that the fake nature of news stories and the promotion of fake news to gin up fake emotion.
Well, the emotion's not fake.
The rage and hatred of Christians and people in the mainstream of American life is real.
That hatred that the left has for common, ordinary, average, everyday Christian Americans is real.
They despise them, they're threatened by them.
Mark my words, folks.
The real story here is how one little news story from an obscure I know I got exposed on cable all over the place, this uh Channel 57 in South Bend.
But please don't fall for the idea that you live in a country where the vast majority were so offended and outraged over what this harmless young, naive young woman at this pizza store said that they need to shut her down.
Your country has not become that yet.
The leftists behind all of this want you to believe that you've lost your country so that you get dispirited and depressed and that you give up and become afraid to fight back.
But don't.
It's fake.
Back after this.
The name of this little pizza shop is Memories Pizza.
And the GoFundMe effort to make them whole to help them recover from this vicious.
I I don't know how you characterize this.
They call it fake, but mean-spirited, extremist, violent, threatening effort to intimidate these people into shutting down their business when they're harming nobody.
They have never harmed anybody.
They don't intend to harm anybody, and yet they're evil and deserve to be shut down.
Anyway, the objective, original objective was to raise 150,000, and they're already up to 18 hours, they're up to 145,000 now, raised by 5,000 people in 18 hours.
Memory speeds.
I suspect that that number, now that I, El Rushbow, have mentioned it, uh, that number is going to skyrocket way beyond 200,000.
That's generally what happens.
Uh but this is another point worth making is that this the reaction response always ends up dwarfing the so-called original outrage.
But where is all of the intolerance in America today all of a sudden?
Where is all of this focus on the social issues?
Remember, Republican Party lasts 15 or 20 years telling conservatives, you've got to drop the social issues, man, they're killing us.
You gotta let them go, you gotta drop them.
We gotta stay focused on the economy.
You can't go social.
They meant drop abortions.
Screw it, let it go.
We can't win with it.
Meantime, social issues are now predominant.
Number one, they are what drives currently driving campaigns.
And who owns them now?
Who owns the social issues?
Our good old buddies on the left in the Democrat Party.
And you'll notice that nobody in the Democrat Party is telling their activists, wouldn't you drop the social issues?
It's killing us.
No, they're going to town with it.
Just another example of the ill-preparedness.
And I would dare say, maybe even lack of awareness.
Certain aspects of reality that still exist in the upper reaches and confines of the Republican establishment.
I had intended to take a phone call in this segment.
But I just talked myself right through it.
By the way, folks, the lie on this pizza store is even worse.
Headlines claim that Indiana Pizzeria denies service to same-sex couples, but that's not what the reporter was told.
The young woman at the pizzeria said the O'Connor family said if a gay couple or a couple belonging to another religion came into the restaurant to eat, they would never deny them service.
They would never deny homosexuals or people of other religions service.
