Time Text
Greetings, my friends, welcome back.
It's a thrill and a delight to have you with us here on the one and only Excellence and Broadcasting Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Remember, as long as I am here, it doesn't matter where here is.
I have just a couple of more audio sound bites on the riots.
Let's...
I don't know, we can call them race riots.
That's, you know, I don't want to make too big a deal out of this, but these are really, you know, you'd say they're race riots because African Americans are rioting, but this is um, and you have to look really hard here to find a racial component in this.
I mean, really, in this, unless they want to try to say that this is a result of Ferguson and the uh phantom chokehold in New York and uh whatever else.
Uh, but that's not what this is.
That's the one thing actually missing here.
And what happened yesterday has nothing to do with uh with the police, like the uh the Freddie Gray thing ostensibly did.
So they're two separate things that have ignited Baltimore.
And it's it doesn't, it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit the usual template.
And so the left is having to work really hard here to position this.
I mean, any time, you know, you've liberal Democrats run this show and they go out there and they they blame no jobs and they blame lousy education.
I mean, they're blaming themselves.
I mean, I I've heard one local official in Baltimore, I've heard ten of them say that these young black men don't have jobs.
Well, you've got an African American press.
Look, I can say all these obvious things.
You running the show.
You have the power.
That's the rope.
That's that's really the conflicting thing for them.
Because their advantage is really exists in the fact that they have grievances, that they're minorities, that they are the victims of power.
They have the power here.
They've got the power in every position.
From the oval office on down, they have the power.
And to try to portray the citizens of Baltimore as victims is a tough thing to do because they would then have to indict themselves.
So while they're gonna run around in bellyache about these young black men who don't have jobs, at the same time they support flooding the market with millions of illegals granted amnesty.
And uh registering them as Democrat voters, and they're gonna be the new minority, by the way.
The Hispanics, there's already a battle going on between various minority groups to be the most favored minority group in the uh in the Democrat Party.
Make no mistake, there's some friction here with Obama seemingly caring mostly, if not only, about the Hispanics, the illegals.
So lack of education, lack of opportunity.
Uh describing the problems in Baltimore, but nobody notes that Baltimore has been run by liberals for years.
One of these guys was on, I think it was uh, I don't know where you Fox News or something last.
I don't know.
City councilman by the name of um what's his name?
I can't Leland Vitter was was the Fox reporter.
Black Baltimore City Councilman about the lack of opportunity in Baltimore.
This is what I mean.
He's on television and he's whining and moaning, but there's no opportunity.
And a racism issue is raised.
It's what racism.
And then I came to realize it doesn't matter who runs, say, a population, city popular majority blacks.
It doesn't matter who runs it because they're systemic racism.
It's in the American system.
And it doesn't matter whether we have a black president, black mayor, black city council, black police, police commissioner, they're still oppressed by the systemic racism that exists in them.
I'm telling you, these people are never going to have a chance.
These people rioting and protesting, and I'm talking about the legitimate, not the Renamob, and not these people bust and flown in from out of town by George Soros.
But I mean the people that really are ticked off whatever few or many of them there are, they don't have a prayer.
They are never going to come close to realizing their human potential as long as they vote Democrat.
It is impossible.
It just will not happen.
I mentioned I looked at a list of Baltimore mayors.
The last 68 years, the last 68 years, all mayors except one were liberal Democrats.
There was a mayor of 1963 to 1967 who was not liberal.
Two of these liberal Democrat mayors were Thomas L. Di Alessandro Jr. and Thomas J. or LJ Dialessandro the Third.
They were respectively the father and brother of Nancy Pelosi.
And they were Lib Democrats, and they ran Baltimore.
You know what else I did?
I didn't do it.
I had a friend of mine that did some research last night and sent it to me.
He went back and looked at the news, primarily in the New York Times, following the Rodney King riots in 1992.
During the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Bill Clinton was running around campaigning for uh for president, and he was pounding repeatedly, and even after he was uh elected.
Bill Clinton, all throughout the LA riots, was pounding repeatedly that the riots in LA were the failure of Reagan and Bush.
That Reagan and Bush had been in power for so long, and that they had failed for so long, that those years of failure and destitution, whatever they wanted to chalk them up as, had produced the riot.
So Clinton went to Los Angeles to address the rioters, much as he went to Oklahoma City.
And in every one of these, there are four New York Times stories here from the day of just one Clinton story from the day.
And throughout Clinton, and the point that Clinton is blaming Reagan and Bush for what happened in 1992 in the riots.
Now, the reason my friend sent me this because if if we wanted to act in a similar way, we could run out and say this is the fault of Obama.
This is the fault of Obama.
And by the way, you could do that with some credibility.
You go back to 2007, 2008 in the campaign, and as I mentioned earlier, you ask some people why they voted for the guy.
And some of them will say they voted for only one reason to show that they weren't racist and to hopefully end all this racial strife by voting for a black guy and showing everybody else that they weren't racist.
And if it were even possible, showing that the country isn't racist.
Because so many people for so long have been so fed up with that baseless charge that they didn't care about anything else.
Just the fact that they had a chance to vote for an African American for president was going to solve the problem.
Once and for all, it was too big a gift to pass up.
Don't care about Obama being a liberal.
I don't care about his policies, they said.
I don't care what he intends to be.
He's black, and we need to show that we're not racist, and I'm gonna do it, and a country can show it's not racist.
How'd that work out for everybody?
Policies matter, ideology matters.
Um, and all this chaos helps advance the liberal Democrat agenda.
Oh, yeah, I've got the let's better save this for maybe even another day.
Let me take a brief uh time out.
There's other stuff in the news besides this.
In fact, there's a there's a whole Clinton stack here.
You know, I better get to that.
I am I am not going to fall prey to the media trick of having this totally dominate the news cycle on this program at the expense of everything else that the Democrats are doing out there.
So we'll come back, take a few calls and mix some of this other stuff in before we finish today.
Well, well, well, Rand Paul has done it.
He's gone up in there, and he has weighed in on the turmoil in Baltimore today.
Standing with the cops and blaming the violence on a lack of morals in America.
I came through the train on uh Baltimore last night.
I'm glad the train didn't stop, he said, laughing during an interview with the conservative radio host Laura Ingram, railing against what he repeatedly called thuggery and thievery in the streets of Baltimore.
Rand Paul said that talking about root causes was not appropriate in the middle of a riot.
The police have to do what they have to do, and I'm very sympathetic to the plight of the police in this.
But as far as the root causes were concerned, he said there's so many things that we can talk about.
The breakdown of family structure, the lack of fathers, the lack of a moral code in our society.
He said this isn't just a racial thing.
So expect him to get hit on here fairly uh fairly soon.
By the way, speaking of the Alessandro family, the Pelosi family.
Pelosi's brother Tommy de Alessandro, Thomas LJG de Alessandro III.
He screwed up.
Do you know there were riots in 1968 in Baltimore?
Riots I know you do, but that the same year of the watch riots.
There were riots everywhere in 1968, is my point today, in terms of this is nothing new, other than the things about it that are new that I've pointed out.
But he screwed it up so badly dealing with the riots in Baltimore in 1968 that he it ruined his political career.
He never held public office again.
It was so bad, Nancy Di Alessandro had to get out of town.
She went to New York City and then eventually migrated to San Francisco, where her brother-in-law was part of the Democrat machine in San Francisco.
And that's how she's how she melded from uh from Baltimore to uh to San Francisco.
She uh she married Paul Pelosi at uh at some point, and they are filthy rich.
They own Aubert's de Soleil.
Uh they own all you wouldn't believe what they own.
All kinds of filthy rich.
Anyway, just a little side note.
Uh she fled Baltimore because her brother had so ruined the uh family name.
Ran off to New York City and San Francisco.
Her brother-in-law, brother of her husband Pelosi was uh part of the Democrat machine there.
So just think, if her brother hadn't screwed up, she might be mayor emeritus of Baltimore today, and nothing more.
But that's not the case.
Let's see.
Um let me grab line two.
Jim's in Boston.
Jim, are you still there?
Uh as we head back to the phones.
Hello, sir.
Oh, Rosh.
How are you?
I'm great.
I'm glad you waited.
I really appreciate it.
I I'd wait uh ten days for you, not more.
I've been listening to you since 1990.
It's The second time I've gotten through.
And uh I think of you as a dear friend because I was 18 months from having voted for Michael Dukakis back when I started listening to you.
Ah, yes, the loser.
And yeah.
And things have changed.
My point is that I don't think it's possible to overestimate the malignancy that clothes Barack Obama.
And I want to take an idea that I got from a book, and it's that the lossion of values leads to the lessening of sanctions.
The lessening of sanctions leads to the abolishment of values.
And it's a self-reciprocating.
So what's taking place here is they're against the police who are the enforces of sanctions.
So when you eliminate sanctions, you cheapen things.
Imagine if the the sentence for murder was 60 days.
What would be the value of life?
So when they attacked.
Well now we murder more than I mean, there are people who get a w uh it proves your point, by the way.
Dare I say the word?
Dare I say the word?
It's the dreaded A word.
Abortion.
It has cheapened life.
I don't think.
You know, I in Chicago, I remember years ago, a seven-year-old gunned down a four-year-old, gunned down, seven-year-old gunned down a four-year-old.
What in the world is happening?
I said, Look, seven years old, seventeen years old, kids are observant, and they can very quickly pick up on something like the value of life.
And they can watch television and they can see people die come back to life.
They can have a whole jaundist view of the whole concept of death.
And life as a as a result.
But I get your point.
I mean, if you murdered somebody and the max sentence was two months.
Um that, by the way, is one of the theories that is abounding out there when it when it comes to uh the role of police in a in a circumstance.
There there are there are people like Obama and his mayor who think that a str strong policing, police using show of force promotes violence.
They believe that it promotes violence and encourages violence because it agitates people.
When the truth is the exact opposite, they make police forces weak.
They demand, they order the police to stand down, they order the police to use restraint, as in Ferguson, one night when the riots were taking place, the cops stood down.
The theory was if we don't try to stop them, they'll get it out of their systems, and we'll only have one night of this instead of a week.
It was giving in, caving in, it was appeasement.
Same thing with this mayor.
I am convinced, you know, when she makes this statement that uh uh give the people who want to destroy space to do that too, whatever she claims was misunderstood.
Bottom line is that she withdrew police presence.
And when when the rioting was going crazy yesterday, instead of slapping a curfew on last night, she does it tonight, giving them an additional day.
And it's all part of the belief that if you withdraw the cops, then the agitators will be less angry, and the agitators and the rioters will do less rioting.
And the fact of the matter is it's just the exact opposite.
If you have a show of police Strength, you are doing more to see to it that protests take place peaceably than if the cops are not there.
If the cops are not there, if the cops are ordered to show restraint, if the cops are ordered to stand down for any length of time, that equals weakness.
And that encourages ramped up protest.
Well, these kids, they're looking at this movie called The Purge.
What if there were no laws?
And when the cops aren't there, there aren't any enforcement of the laws, they think these leftists have it the exact opposite out of phase way of thinking.
You look at Eric Holder in Ferguson, Missouri.
And Mark Lamont Hill on CNN last night.
Their theory is that rioting is a reaction to a rotten environment created by the cops.
They think rioting is justified.
Rioting is in fact totally understandable when you have such a heavy cop presence.
But that's not what Ferguson was, and it's not what Baltimore is.
What these are, these are people who see an opportunity to loot and to steal and to destroy get away with it because the cops are told to stay away.
It's the exact opposite of what the left thinks.
Alan Indianapolis, great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
It is so wonderful to speak to you.
Thank you very much.
What I shared with uh Mr. Bowe was this thought that I had last night.
This is the Obama doctrine coming home to our own country.
And let me put it this way.
His chicken has come home to roost.
Mm-hmm.
Exactly what we're seeing play out in Baltimore.
Project weakness and let the world go to hell.
Um how's Obama doing that in Baltimore?
No, it's a similar.
He's not doing it.
It's the same philosophy that's coming from the rule in Baltimore.
They're doing the same thing that he is doing worldwide.
Project weakness and all hell breaks loose.
Well, you know, you've you've got a point in this.
Uh if you you can you can make a point about tying this to Obama's international behavior, in the sense that Obama believes the United States is guilty of things.
It's why he's apologized in his first term whenever he traveled internationally.
He apologized for whatever he thought the nation he was in, uh, felt offended by the United States, because he agreed that we had been bad.
We had done things that were not our right to do because we're too big or what have you.
And uh I think taking the U.S. out of the world uh is uh is a policy idea of his that's rooted in the belief that we have no business.
We have no business telling each other how to live, what to do, how to do it, or the way we don't let anybody else tell us that.
Now that, and that may, by the way, to virgin ears, that that might sound actually sensible.
Well, that's right, Rogue.
Hell, somebody kills us, what do we're gonna do what?
We're gonna tell them to go to hell.
Well, why shouldn't they tell us to go to hell when they hear from us?
Oh, what we ought to do.
Well, what you're missing in that is that the world's a dangerous place.
The world has far more thugs, dictators, and tyrants oppressing its people than the other.
United States is the lone outpost that can guarantee the freedom of its own people and stand for it everywhere.
And we have a distinctive American culture and a distinct set of American values that have made us the world's lone superpower.
And if we have a president who does not believe in them and thinks that they are not superior to anything else and wants to apologize for them and withdraw us from the world, then that's what we have with Obama.
Now you translate that To this local situation in in Baltimore, and you would apply it as such.
People of Baltimore, the African American population in general, has been screwed from the day the Declaration of Independence was signed.
They were set up to be slaves.
They were set up to be second-class citizens.
And it's about time that changed.
So these the African not just African Americans, but every minority population has a legitimate grievance against the country.
And the expression of that grievance, even if it is in the form of violence, is understandable and should be allowed to happen because their grievance is real.
Stand down.
So I think that's what Alan means by the Obama doctrine, which has as the umbrella under which everything else exists.
America is guilty.
America is and has been wrong.
And America has and does mistreat people.
And finally, all those people have been mistreated or rising up and they're not putting up with it anymore.
Now the whole thing falls flat because it's 100% wrong, but nevertheless, it is apparently an operating theoretical position that Obama holds, and I don't think you can deny it.
Here's uh Pam in Cincinnati.
Glad you call Pam, great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Thank you.
Hi, Russ.
What a privilege to talk with you.
I so appreciate all that you do.
Well, thank you.
You're a historian, and I love your point about the repeating of history within the riots.
I my point was about the repeating of history.
I'm old enough that I live the history in the past with the Clintons.
And recently they have this issue that whenever they need funds for their campaign or their foundation, they go to France.
And recently, Bill Clinton went to his friend of Canada who made arrangements for the uranium to be sold to Russia, who we know funds Iran with uh uranium to build a nuclear weapon.
I remember back when the smokescreen of the Lewinsky thing was going on, which the press had their full attention on behind the scenes.
Bill Clinton needed funding for his second presidential run.
And what he did was went to a friend who had a company that made ballistic missiles, and he made arrangements for them behind the scenes without government approval to sell these ballistic missiles to China.
A month later I read in the Wall Street Journal that China in turn sold ballistic missiles to both North Korea and Iran.
So we can thank him for all that.
Hey, hey, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You you left out a biggie.
Yeah.
He also had a big donor.
Yes.
Who was expert in missile guidance systems?
The missiles that we gave the ChICOMS, they couldn't get into orbit.
They didn't have advanced scientists capable of getting those rockets into orbit.
We put this company under the commerce department, which Ron Brown ran, and he allowed this company, big Clinton donor, I'm the guys.
That's Laurel Space.
It's Bernie Schwartz to sell the gyroscopic technology for missile guidance to the ChICOMs as well as the missiles.
You are exactly right.
So your theory is that this is nothing new, and nothing's really going to happen to Clintons with this.
They're going to survive it no matter what.
And look what we've done to Iran.
We've not only given them ballistic missiles to aim at the United States and Israel, but now we're supplying with them with uranium and directly through Russia to Iran to build the warheads to put on those missiles.
Right, but but you're you you think they're gonna okay?
So w uh what is it you what does it have to do with with Hillary's problem?
Well, we can thank them.
They both had a hand in in doing things for Iran and got funded for it.
Okay, I'm I'm I I thought you were I'm looking it may be my hearing.
I thought you were calling to explain how the Clintons get out of trouble.
Well, they they did.
No, there was a smokescreen at the time when that occurred, that the Lewinsky scandal was going on, and nobody brought up the point of Bill Clinton selling this selling weapons to a communist country, which was a treasonous offense for a president to do with no permission at all.
No, we did.
No, no, no, we did.
All of this.
We talked about all of this.
It didn't matter to anybody.
You know about it.
We spent a lot of time detailing all of these things the Clinton administration did, the finagling.
Um it was a big thing to move the the uh regulatory process for Lorale space over to commerce.
It was it used to be because they were in missiles, the Defense Department.
A state State Department, State Department ran decisions like that, and Clinton moved it over to commerce because he had a crony over there, Ron Brown, who uh was in a rears to Clinton politically.
He owed Clinton quite a bit.
Um sadly died in a plane crash in uh Bosnia, that's right.
Yeah, fog.
Fog.
The plane flew into a mountain in the fog, and then that led to the Ron Brown Memorial, uh, where Clinton was spotted laughing going in, and then he saw the camera and in less than a full step immediately started bawling.
While the guy next to him kept laughing at the uh at the jokes.
Uh the difference this time, however, is that back during all of those events, the press was the primary cover-up agency.
The press worked to hide those things to cover them up, to write about them is no big deal.
Now with Hillary and this stuff that uh you mentioned the Canadian situation uh with uranium.
By the way, that is far more detailed than even I knew until I dug deep in it this morning.
One of those guys is the guy that donated a hundred million dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
And the reason Clinton greased the skids, this guy's in Canada, his name is Justra, Frank Justra.
And he didn't have any international contacts at all.
He was in the uranium mining business, relatively new at it.
And Ukraine, or no, Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan has one-fifth of the world's uranium supply.
And this guy wanted the rights to it, but he had no Andre Clinton, but he had an MD-80 at Douglas MD, the American Airlines just to fly them Delta.
It's it's not a jumbo jet, but it's much bigger than a corporate jet.
And he flew Clinton over there.
Clinton greased the skids with the president of Kazakhstan to to uh get Frank Justra, the basically rights of this uranium.
Uh, and in return there was a hundred million dollar donation to the Clinton Foundation, in addition to another one that was 31 million dollars.
All of this stuff is being uncovered by the media.
And it's being reported on Vita Media.
In fact, there's a story from I forget where I found this, and it didn't.
I don't think it printed the link.
It usually doesn't.
In the press, panic over Hillary's self-destruction is growing.
This is a review of numerous stories in the media over and uh the Clinton trouble and how it's growing.
And Ron Fournier has has unburdened himself again with stress over what the Clintons are doing and how he doesn't think they can survive it.
So it's a little different than it was when Clinton was president out there.
All right.
Um this Canadian story is uh by Maggie Maggie uh Molly Hemingway, and it's at the Federalist, and it prints out the five or six pages.
It's about this Frank Justra guy and how he uh was enabled by Bill Clinton to secure all of this uranium in this Canadian company uh that was ended up actually ended up being sold to Putin is the point to the Russians, which then guarantees that some of the uranium is going to end up with Iran.
And the Clintons are out selling access for this to their foundation and so forth.
And the stories here just keep coming, and they'll eventually surface once this Baltimore thing subsides, and we will be right there when that happens.
Let's see, here it's 181 Clinton Foundation donors lobbied the State Department when Hillary was Secretary of State.
181 Foundation donors lobbied Hillary.
See you tomorrow, folks.
