Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
And you are tuned to the most listened to radio talk show in America for over 26.
Busy broadcast years.
Great to have you with us, my friends, Rush Limbaugh, brand new week in broadcast excellence, and this is a big week.
On Friday, the 25th annual radiothon that we do here to cure the blood cancers, leukemia, and lymphoma.
That's coming up on Friday, our 25th annual.
A quarter of a century.
Anyway, folks, great to have you here.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 in the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I hope everybody had a great Easter.
Did you guys uh get a great Easter in there?
Went to St. Louis to have Easter with the with the family.
Went to St. Louis.
Uh and the St. Louis Club.
This place, the St. Louis Club's actually in Clayton, and this place is so exclusive.
To be a member, you have to be born there.
I think the operating rooms on the 15th floor.
I mean, that's that's exclusive.
Anyway, we had uh many family members gathered there.
It was just a just a great time.
And I tell you, folks, it's uh it it family is such an important thing, and it's a great thing to be able to get together with people uh that you don't see regularly.
And I hope you've had that opportunity at some point uh the past couple of months since Christmas and so forth, because it really, really is one of the most it's restorative or restorative uh in my case.
And speaking of restorative, uh man, the news have did you see $842,000 raised for memories pizza at GoFund.com or GoFundMe.com.
Have you heard?
Have you heard this honestly?
This is not a joke.
The left is actually claiming now that the O'Connor family set this up, that this was a scam from the get-go, that they were about to go out of business, that it's a little pizza joint in a small town, and they arranged for this whole episode to take place,
hoping to entice somebody from the media to come in and do a story, ripping them to shreds as racist bigots and homophobes, so that they could then raise $842,000 via the internet.
That the honestly, honestly, there are serious leftists, and by serious I mean, well, they're all kooks and crackpots, but I mean these are named byline type people who are making this allegation that the whole thing was a seat kit cannot be legitimate.
And then there are others on the left who are saying that the very idea that a bunch of Christians banded together to donate $842,000 is all the proof you need that there is racism and bigotry and homophobia.
And they were circle the rag and wagons to protect one another.
But nevertheless, 842 grand learned.
Now, the the Rolling Stone article, too.
I'm gonna sum, we're gonna get into this stuff in great detail as the program unfolds.
But the Rolling Stone had the study, the investigation, if you will, commissioned by the dean of the Columbia University School of Journalism.
I probably overdo this analogy, but this is probably like asking Colonel Sanders to investigate a sudden rash of chicken killings.
It's just uncanny to me what a closed world that these people live in.
So here you have an entirely made-up story.
From beginning to end, and it's blamed.
It's blamed on the person that doesn't exist, who told a story that was so good.
She was such a great liar.
She was so persuasive, she was so emotive, she was so classically good that she fooled everybody.
She fooled the info babe.
She fooled a reporterette, she fooled The editors.
She fooled the owner.
She fooled everybody.
And nobody is going to get fired.
Not a soul is going to get fired.
Even though Rolling Stone has had to admit to everything, and the reporter, the info babe, surdly, whatever name is, she had this great apology and his great Meia Calpa.
And there's one group to whom she did not apologize.
Do you know who that is?
The frat boys, the people who were accused of all this did not get an apology.
The fraternity did not get an apology.
Everybody else got an apology, including the liar.
Now, I'll tell you what this illustrates, illustrates two things, and you know them as your students of this program, you know this well.
There are two things at work here.
Because you know that when the story was exposed as a fraudulent story, the infobabe reporterette immediately reacted by saying, Well, okay, okay, but you we it it still happens.
It still happens.
It may not have happened in this case, but I still succeeded in raising your consciousness level about it, because you know that we have a rape crisis on campus in this country.
It may not have happened here, it may not have, it may have, but it's happening, and I have alerted you to it.
Therefore, it's okay.
So what we have here, we have two glaring truths that I, L. Rushbow have pointed out for years, and that is where liberalism is concerned, the nature of the evidence is irrelevant.
It is the seriousness of the charge that matters.
And in this case, we have an allegation, a charge, an accusation that a bunch of frat boys wantonly raped and maimed and did whatever else.
To now an imaginary woman who was so good at lying she fooled the world.
Okay, that's a serious charge.
The fact that there's no evidence is irrelevant because the seriousness of the charge warrants the story being written.
The second characteristic of this, the second teachable moment is just as I have always said, when examining liberal programs, legislative programs, any program, social program, you name war in poverty, take your pick.
Every one of them, abject failure, but you're not supposed to point that out.
We are never to look at the results.
We are only supposed to examine and judge and be impressed by the good intentions.
So in the Rolling Stone rape story, we have it all.
We have the seriousness of the charge, trumping the need for facts, for evidence.
There's no need.
Because the seriousness of the charge was elevated to conscious level all over the country.
And the good intentions of everybody involved, from the infobabe reporterette to the editors to the publisher to the owner, they all were trying to save and protect women from fretboy Republicans who are raping them and it costing them and attacking them all over America in campus after campus.
And that intention is honorable.
So whether the fact that this story was made up, and you ought to read this investigation report from the dean at the University of Columbia or Columbia University Journalism School, he points out that the reporter was so devoted to her cause.
She was so dedicated and loyal to her cause, to her premise, that it it it was so powerful, it forced her to overlook the fact that none of it happened.
And therefore we should understand, because this is a good reporterette, this is a good woman because she cares, and she's aware, and she's impassioned, and she she's just on point.
She is devoted to this issue.
Never mattered that this didn't happen.
The fact that she cares so much.
The fact that she's devoted.
The fact that she is just totally focused on this is the reason why the fact it didn't happen escaped her.
This is corruption.
This journalistic malpractice, I don't care what you want to call it.
And everybody involved on the left is doing what they always do.
They're circling the wagons, just like they did for Dan Bladder.
Just like they tried to do for Brian Williams, but it was really tough to do there.
But they're not through trying to revive resuscitate Brian Williams.
That's gonna happen.
Oh, speaking of that, big story, New York Post today, Andy Lack.
Andrew Lack, formerly of NBC News, they're bringing him back, and now the question is is he's gonna clean house.
He's gonna start with PMS NBC.
And is he gonna clean house?
What's he gonna do?
What's he gonna do to save and revive and fix NBC a Wonderfield Commission and investigation by Columbia University to examine what's gone wrong at MSNBC?
Conclusion will be, of course, nothing.
Nothing's gone wrong.
They have their convictions, they're doing everything, they're trying really hard, and their intentions are honorable, and the seriousness of the charge, i.e., trying to save the country from Republicans and conservatives, all that they've done is totally understandable, including destroying the network by obliterating all audience members.
I I know Andy Lack.
You all may not remember this.
In fact, I don't even know if I've mentioned it.
I don't know if I've I've I may not have mentioned this.
It isn't any big deal now, it's just a little funny anecdote.
Back in 1991, early 90s, the program was just beginning, and it was it's in its ascendancy.
It was a rocket ship.
Remember back in this era, it was it.
There was no cable news yet up in CNN.
There weren't any other talk shows, there was no blogosphere, conservative or otherwise.
And in terms of conservatism and national media, this program was it.
As such, the left singularly totally focused on it.
Andrew Lack called me one day and suggested that I think seriously about dropping radio and getting into TV and coming to work for a program like Dateline, that America should be exposed to the things I care about.
I'm and I don't remember specifically if if he suggested that I quit radio, but I do remember that he wanted me to de-emphasize it and move over to this.
It's kind of like when when Warren Michaels called and wanted me to be on Saturday Night Live, but I found out later just to be Santa Claus and was to be a circus act for Al Franken's book.
Well, that's what this was.
He was very nice on the phone.
I actually liked him.
I got to know him a little bit on the phone.
I got to just like Walter Isaacson with CNN, I got to know him too.
But it was clear these guys were trying to clear me out.
And I told him on the phone, I said, Andy, I don't know desire to do what you do on Dateline or whatever the show was.
I don't even know if it was dateline then.
I don't want to blow up trucks like you guys do.
I I'm perfectly happy to do it.
Do you have any interest?
I mean, you've got to do something besides politics.
That's what it was.
That's what he said.
You've got to branch out.
You got to do more than just politics.
You care about much more politics, don't you?
I said, yeah.
You have a varied and wide array of things that interest you.
You've got to move on beyond politics.
And that's what we want you to do here.
That's what it was.
That was a take me out of the political arena.
He said, is there anything out there that fascinates?
Because I'm telling him I have no desire.
I don't know what it would do, what I would do.
And I had I happen to say, well, you know, Andy just making conversation.
I have been fascinated all my life about how jet airliners are actually assembled.
The whole process amazing great, great!
Exactly what I'm talking about.
We'll give you a crew, you go out to Boeing, put together a feature where it's exactly what I'm talking about.
I, of course, am still here.
I didn't do that.
And he was don't now it was it was clear what it was, but he was uh I think I even met with him a couple times in person, I'm not sure.
But he's a nice guy.
Anyway, he's the guy they're bringing back again.
The left says he's the fixer.
But I find it you know the left says the era of Reagan is over.
Hill, our people say the Era of Reagan over is over.
We can never go back to the past, is the point.
Never ever return to the past to fix the present because that's that's been there done that.
That's old fashioned.
And these guys keep recycling.
They're old heroes from uh from days gone by.
Apple Watch.
Apple Watch.
I guess pre-orders and reservations and trips to the store to try it on to see if you like it, start on Friday.
Sturdley, are you interested in the Apple Watch?
You were, but you're not.
What about Brian?
You interested in the Apple Watch?
You're not.
Don, you care about the Apple Watch.
I've been thinking a lot about the Apple Watch.
You know, I I'm not, I'm not hot to trot for it yet either.
And I know everything there is to know about it in terms of what it's uh projected to do and what its uses are.
And there's some of it that intrigues me.
I'll be honest, you know, say gadget and gizmo guy.
You know, I'm hip to it, but I think they're forgetting some things.
I think I think that they are missing, and maybe they're gonna do this.
I don't know.
I it may be that they haven't announced everything.
But given Tim Cook, the CEO, and his Washington Post op-ed on the bigotry and all that in Indiana, I think they've got a golden opportunity.
This watch is the most personal device they've ever sold.
It is the most personal, intimate device.
That's how they're positioning it.
Most intimate device they've ever made.
Because it actually touches you.
And it has sensors.
So that your heartbeat, do you know you can send your heartbeat to anybody, and they will feel it on your wrist.
Your heartbeat is a message of love.
You can do that, and a little heart icon pulsates on the screen when that happens.
You didn't know that?
Yeah, the haptic tactic engine, you can you can have this thing, it monitors your pulse, it'll take your pulse.
And while it's doing that, it will send your pulse to anybody you want who has a watch.
Gotta have an Apple Watch, and they will feel it.
They will feel your heartbeat on your wrist.
The watch will do their taptic uh.
Well, that's intimate.
Right.
Well, how about uh how about if the Apple Watch could somehow determine if the country or if the state or even the city that the watch wearer is in oppresses women, gays or Christians and Jews or minorities?
What happens if your watch could tell you if you are an oppressor?
What if the Apple Watch could tell you you live in a place where gays are oppressed or blacks are oppressed?
Then you wouldn't have to wonder.
You would know that you are in a place where there's rampant racism and bigotry and homophobia, and the Apple Watch could be the one to tell you that.
No, I'm not I'm not suggesting that right under the correct time on the watch there should be a smiley face or a frowning face or any of that.
Uh the owner could enter in the settings their gender, their sexual preference, and their religion.
And that way, if the Apple Watch wearer enters a country whose laws are overtly hostile to women, gays, Christians, and Jews, the watch could issue some kind of alert or warning to warn you.
It's a great idea, is it not?
But it's right in.
Now look, the Apple Watch is supposed to keep people healthy.
I mean, that's one of the big selling points.
How about a how about an app, the Apple Watch that warns you, say when you enter Ferguson, Missouri?
Or any other place where there's racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia.
Think of this.
The liberals could be saved, traversing to irritating unwanted places with the Apple Watch, just giving them a couple of beeps or a siren or whatever.
Whenever they're about to, like women, you could have an app, a warning siren on the Apple Watch for women when they're about to step on an American college campus.
Some kind of alert or something could warn them of imminent attack by male students.
Maybe even a minor electrical shock provided by the watch if they enter a frat house.
I mean, if if Tim Cook is going to insert the company into the American cultural and political fray, why not take it deep with the watch?
How about this?
How about an automatic 9-1-1 call when female Apple Watch owners come within 50 yards of Bill Cosby?
Or Bill Clinton.
Now, 50 yards, no, 25 yards.
If you're wearing an Apple Watch, you're a woman, you get within 25 yards of Bill Clinton or Bill Cosby, automatically 911 call goes out with your location.
I mean, the possibilities here are endless.
And if the Apple Watch discovers you are conservative, it could give you a huge shock, using all of its battery power, making sure you never put the thing back on again.
If you do things to indicate to the Apple Watch that you are a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, and therefore an undesirable back after this.
Half my brain time behind my back just to keep it fair, Rushlin.
Boy, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, and a reason for that is that I am doing what I was born to do.
I got lucky and found out at age eight what I wanted to do, and I'm doing it, and I have been for years.
It's great.
800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program back to this.
$842,000 raised for the family of Memories Pizza that came under fire, under assault after the infobabe reporter ed from Channel 57.
ABC Eyeball News 57 South Bend, Indiana, went bigot shopping and found one inside the store.
You know, if this, and I'm not kidding, by the way, the left has people out there claiming this whole thing was a hoax.
The whole thing was a setup from the get-go by trickery-oriented right-wingers who knew exactly what to do here.
Go out and fake the whole circumstance.
You know, get a reporter somehow arrange for a reporter to come into the pizzeria and arrange for the reporter to ask if you would cater a gay wedding, and then predetermine your answer is no, no way.
Controversy born because your business is about to go under, you need money fast.
Best way to do it, make it look like you're under siege by the American left and people will rally the they think this was a whole concocted event.
The media, not even curious about this.
They're reporting it, but that's about it.
They reported in two or three paragraphs and they move on.
Now, if circumstances were reversed.
If, for example, this pizzeria happened to have been owned by a bunch of leftists, about a bunch of liberals and Democrats.
And if something had happened that threatened the livelihood of the business and the owners, and if a bunch of leftist donors came to the rescue and in a matter of two days raised over $840,000, do you know what the media would be doing?
They'd be trying to find as many of these donors as possible to do profiles of them.
What great people they are.
Who are these people?
Who are these invisible Americans who came to the rescue when an innocent little mom and pop Democrat business came under siege by vicious right wingers?
And they'd be out there doing stories.
Democrats on Capitol Hill would bring these people up to congressional hearings and make stars out of them.
Great Americans who gave everything they could, in some cases only a dollar, but they gave it to the cost to save the left wing business.
And they would all be heroes.
And everybody would know an Obama would invite a couple of them to the next State of the Union show.
But since it's in reverse, the media is doing its best to cover it perfunctorily in a couple, three paragraphs, and then moving on And letting it go.
But they are privately fuming.
They are seething over this.
Because once again, the evidence, the facts, which often elude them, have come to demonstrate that they have a long way to go to be able to put the population of this country under their boot.
People responded.
What did I say?
26 or 27,000 people, an average donation of just under $30 that got it to the $842,000 limit.
This is interesting.
Audio sound bites, C-SPAN yesterday, Easter Sunday QA, Brian Lamb.
They replayed a um I I guess a program they had actually that that ran on uh March the 13th.
It actually happened on March 13th.
They recorded it, aired it yesterday.
Brian Lamb of C-SPAN speaking with Haskrul students from the U.S. Senate youth program about their participation in a week-long government and leadership education program.
So I guess these were young people identified as future leaders by somebody.
They brought them into town in Washington, and one of the things they got to do was to appear on C-SPAN to be queried by Brian Williams.
And during one of the segments, uh Brian Lamb, but during one of the segments, Brian Lamb went around the room asking these students questions.
And we have an exchange here from uh one of the students, Morgan Jessel and Gerald Frost.
Which media personality who is probably the highest paid person in radio and television news and information lives and operates out of Palm Beach, Florida.
I know Oprah has a house in Palm Beach.
Anyone in this room know?
Yes, sir.
It wouldn't be uh Rush Limbaugh.
It would be.
All right.
How do you know that?
Uh my dad listens to talk radio and I do every so often.
Wait a minute now, you need to play that again.
Something happened, it's not in the transcript here.
And a word left out of the transcript that did appear to that.
I've got to play this again, just because I heard something I didn't know was coming.
Hit it.
Which media personality who is probably the highest paid person in radio and television news.
Stop the tape for a second.
That's what the word paid is not on my transcript.
I might not have used this if I'd have known that.
Here's the question that as it was given to me.
And it doesn't make any sense, but I thought it's a typo.
Which media personality who is probably the highest person in radio and TV news and information?
Well, highest that means biggest ratings.
I think it makes sense.
But actually the word paid was in there.
Well, well, my my family always taught me you never talk about money and you never ask anybody else about this.
You well, but I'm playing it.
Yes, they were talking, but I'm not, but this drags me into it.
See, it's if I if I'd have known the word paid was in there, I might not have played this, is my point.
Because I am cultured and mannered.
I am well-bred, well, I wasn't born in the St. Louis Club, but close enough.
All right.
So yeah, yeah.
Okay, now play you take it back to the beginning.
Cue it from the beginning here.
But there's other some other stuff in here that's not on the transcript.
That's why I got confused as I was playing this.
So it's no big deal.
I mean, it's only to me because I have a transcript that's not complete here.
Here's the whole thing again.
Which media personality who is probably the highest paid person in radio and television, news and information, lives and operates out of Palm Beach, Florida.
I know Oprah has a house in Palm Beach.
No, she doesn't.
Anybody in this room know?
Yes, sir.
It wouldn't be uh Rush Limbaugh.
It would be.
All right.
How do you know that?
Uh my dad listens to talk radio and I do every so often.
Right, right, cool, cool.
Okay.
Oprah doesn't have a house here.
She had a place, Fisher's Island down in Miami, right next to Star Island, which is where Gloria Stafan lives, and you you can't drive to it.
You got to put your car on a ferry.
I'm talking about Fisher's Island.
You can't drive to it.
You've got to put your car on a ferry, go every 10 minutes.
It's no problem.
But that's where her place was.
I don't even know if she still has it.
But she had a place here.
See, it's just assumed by people that Oprah's everywhere.
But this question is kind of interesting.
Of all the things that they can ask, highest paid, radio, and television, news and information.
That tells me something.
Tells me it's on their mind.
Well, okay.
And anyway, there's one more soundbite here.
Uh Lamb, Brian Lamb and the and the student, Gerald Fraz is the student that got the answer.
They continue.
What do you think of Rush Limbaugh?
He's a very outspoken man, and it's great that we have individuals like him who are willing to share their opinions on air.
And he genuinely seems willing to listen at times, although he is staunch in his views.
Well, that kid is really no wonder he's a potential future leader, senator, or whatever.
This kid is right on the money.
Kid, young man, I should more properly say.
Outspoken, great that we have people like him, willing to share their opinions, genuinely seems willing to listen to people, but is very staunch, which means I take that as a compliment.
Some people might be offended by that.
Staunch means I'm committed.
I'll listen to you, but you're never going to convince me that you're right and I'm wrong.
It won't happen.
And greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
By the way, and we're getting to phone calls here in just a second.
Uh it's not just memories pizza.
There's another one out, another GoFundMe.com beneficiary that you may not have heard about.
If this kind of thing fascinates you, you may have.
The Seattle Times reporting on April 4th.
They were not happy amid Indiana controversy, donation sore for Washington florist who refused gay wedding.
Now this is different.
In the Memories Pizza case, we had a hypothetical.
We had an infobabe that was going door to door shopping for bigotry.
She left her home base at Channel 57 in South Bend.
Channel 57.
I cannot believe that we still have Channel 57s in the woods.
But anyway, she leaves, she goes 20 miles south of South Bend, knocking on doors, looking for a bigot anywhere.
Just give me a bigot for the nightly news, she says she can't find any.
She's in Indiana.
She finally walks into Memories Pizza.
Would you serve a gay wedding?
No, we would not.
Our religion says.
And the infobabe had her story, and there's bigotry at Memories Pizza.
It's a hypothetical.
In the state of Washington, this is a Richland florist who actually refused to provide flowers to a gay couple for their wedding.
And this florist has uh so far uh received eighty thousand dollars from an online crowdfunding page dedicated to protect her and her livelihood.
It's a GoFundMe dot com page, set up for Baronel Stutzman, who is the owner of Arlene's flowers.
She had braised about $80,225 from 1,800 donors by 7.30 p.m.
Saturday.
The page but the page was set up in February.
Um, a couple months ago.
Set up in February, nearly half the money has been donated in the past 24 hours.
Supporters likened the benefit page to one set up for memories pizza.
But but the difference is that Stutzman actually refused an actual request to provide arrangements for an actual gay wedding.
Now, Baronel Stutzman was fined a thousand dollars plus one dollar for court costs and fees in late March for refusing to serve a gay couple when they tried to buy wedding flowers in 2013.
And Stutzman is 70 years old.
She said that the one of the men who wanted the flowers was her friend.
And she would continue to provide flowers for other occasions.
Providing flowers for his marriage went against her beliefs as a Southern Baptist.
So there's all kinds of these things out there.
There was one for a woman whose shop was burned down in a rioting in Ferguson.
And the same kind of thing happened.
Americans rallied to her cause.
She had nothing to do with the protest.
She was just an innocent victim in the store of her dreams.
She'd scrimped and saved everything with this little arts and cramp store, burned down in the riots.
It's been rebuilt or in the process of it.
Thanks to uh donations from people she never even knew, never even met, never thought she would ever come into contact with.
Okay, Bluntsville, Tennessee, as we started on the phones with Joe.
Great to have you, sir, on the EIB network and hello.
Hello, Rush, Meganidos from Bluntville.
I'm glad you just played that clip, even though it had the word in it that you didn't expect, the word paid, because I never think of you, like the questioner said, as a as a paid media expert.
You're uh you you earn what you what you get.
I mean, whatever if your show doesn't do well, you may be the lowest paid or the lowest income producing person in talk radio or in all media, not like Ryan Williams or some other of these uh the these uh media announcers, not really not really experts on anything, just media readers, I believe is what you call them.
Right, yeah.
And they uh the old staff adapted to man the salary.
Yeah.
Actually, folks, he's right on the money, he's obviously a student of this program and has listened a long time to know that I am not paid.
I don't get a salary.
Uh I only get a percentage of the net of what this program earns.
That's why we always chuckle when we listen to the left talk about funding.
Air America we just we didn't get enough funding.
Limbaugh program great funding, a really great there's no funding here.
It's a purely capitalist exercise.
But uh anyway, uh Joe, I appreciate your distinction.
Highest earning as opposed to highest pay.
It's a fine line to many people, but it still is an accurate uh portrayal.
This is Alan in Noblesville, Indiana.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Happy to have you with us and hello.
Rush, Megadiddos.
Thank you.
I've only been listening for 23 years.
Well, you're a couple years, three years short of a full ride, but that's okay.
That's pretty good.
But but I'm I've been doing trying to do extra credit, so I think I'm here.
I wanted to call you from the epicenter of the Health of Mass uh uh regarding Indiana.
And what what I really wanted to say was not to rehash old news, but um I have to tell you uh I think that the the left may have overplayed their game here a little bit because um I have to tell you, I grew up in a small town in Ohio,
and there weren't any black people, there weren't anybody but white people in that town, and when I I was 18 years old, I went into the Navy, and I got exposed to all different kinds of people and cultures, and I came to the conclusion that uh i if if a man bla bleeds red blood, he's my brother.
And what I and this the ugliness and the mean spiritedness of the tactics that the left is using, not only in our state, but all over the place, I believe that maybe Indiana was the tipping point where a lot of people out there that maybe weren't paying attention before are coming to understand that the left who who claim to be so tolerant and abhorrent to hate are the most hateful group of people that I've ever
seen.
And I told both Sterling this and I'll tell you, and and then I'm I'd love to hear your comments, but um up until a couple of weeks ago, um, I didn't have um any inappropriate attitudes toward gay people.
But I have to tell you, if this is how they're gonna behave, I'm rethinking my position.
Yeah, you I've I've heard people say something similar about race.
I've heard people say during the course of my life, you know, I uh wasn't a racist, I wasn't until a government turned me into one with affirmative action, this kind of thing.
Um I don't know whether Indiana's gonna be a tipping point.
Um a lot of us think we have seen multiple tipping points in recent years, and none of them have ever really been.
Uh at least not obviously, could be, and it would be effervescing behind the scenes, it might uh boil over and some point, could be a tipping point, might not know for a few years.
But folks, let me ask you a question.
I gotta go to a break here, but I want you to think about something.
you remember the term colorblind society?
And do you remember when you heard that term that that was a goal?
That was a positive goal that we should all try to achieve.
A colorblind society.
Do you know now that a colorblind society is no longer a positive?
The desire for a colorblind society is negative and means that you are a racist.
And I will have to explain this.
It's a twenty five years ago, 30 years ago, 40 years ago, and I'm growing up, a colorblind society is what I was told was the objective.
Today, if you want to be a colorblind society, it means you have become a latent bigot.
