Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Practically every story today in a snack of stuff, practically every one, is a chronicle of how liberalism is destroying our country.
Practically every story.
And if it's not everyone, it's practically everyone.
I mean, maybe one or two in here that are upbeat and inspiring, but the rest of it is simply a daily chronicle of the descent to garbage and trash that is happening to our country.
Great to have you with us, folks.
Well, yeah, it's a good way to put it.
People need to know.
You know, you got all these people thinking, it's not right.
It doesn't feel right.
Country not on the right track.
Well, why not?
It's our job to tell people that otherwise haven't put two and two together.
That's what we do.
I know some of you may think, guys, can't you do something positive inspiring?
Well, the way this is, because we're identifying it.
We're presenting an alternative to it.
Standing up for what is the opposite of all of this, this, I don't know how you even characterize it.
It's just trash.
Let me ask you a question.
By the way, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, I am Rush Limbova.
You know that.
And it's the EIB network, and you also know that.
Let me ask you this.
If I were to just announce, say right now, I have an announcement to make to you, the people of this audience, and to everyone in America.
And my announcement is that I am straight.
I am heterosexual.
And you know what?
I'm proud.
I am proud to be a heterosexual.
And I'm normal.
I have sex with a woman.
You think people get mad?
What do you think the reaction out there amongst the level, do you know what they would say?
Why are you telling us that?
What business is it?
Why are you wasting it?
What are you telling us that for?
Or some such thing.
It would not be applause.
I guarantee you they wouldn't applaud me.
They'd make some derisive comment about it.
Or they would accuse me of trying to taint things.
Or it would be called an attack on people who aren't heterosexual.
It would not be greeted with welcome acceptance, would it?
Especially by people on the left.
Others might think, okay, what's the trick?
There is no trick.
I'm just demonstrating if you announce that you're straight and heterosexual, you could get yourself in trouble with certain people.
Because it could be said that you're just in people's face.
You have to tell people that.
You have to tell people that.
Back off.
What are you trying to do?
Intimidate people?
What are you trying to do?
Make people feel bad?
What do you mean?
I'm just telling you, I'm straight.
I'm proud of it.
I'm normal.
I'm happy.
And I have sex with a woman.
That would be provocative.
You know it as well as I know it.
Robert York, I think is his name, New York Post writer writing about Caitlin Jenner.
Actually, it's a number of women writing this.
I'm not going to call Caitlin Jenner care.
It's Bruce Jenner.
Everybody knows it's Bruce Jenner.
It's not Caitlin Jenner.
And I'm not falling for this.
The number of women, albeit conservative women that I've seen in the course of show prep today, refusing to fall for this.
There's a story, I don't know who, I can't pronounce the names anymore of American journalists.
But this, and I don't even know their sex.
You know, I look at somebody's name written by, and I can't tell you if they're male or female.
Just by virtue of the name, used to be able to.
But you can't in some cases anymore.
So I don't know if it's a man or a woman.
Anyway, the point of the story is that Bruce Jenner, as a heterosexual Olympian and as the father figure in the Kardashian clan, had a net worth of $100 million.
But Caitlin Jenner is going to earn $500 million over the next 10 years.
That is the potential.
That is the marketing potential that Caitlin Jenner now has.
Now, what does that tell you?
500, this is a guess, I mean, it's a projection, based on people in the endorsement bidness and the makeup business.
Can you wait to see the L'Oreal commercials coming up, whatever it is that they're going to be?
$500 million.
It's a freak show, folks.
It's a freak show.
Nobody wants to call it what it is.
What do you think the public, do you, I should ask, is this monumental amount of attention?
Is it admiration?
Is it curiosity?
Is it approval?
Is it, gee, I don't believe what I'm seeing?
How would you categorize this interest?
All of the above?
Because there's some approval in there, some encouragement in there, some freak show in there, some, I don't believe what I'm looking at, some, man, is this cool?
I don't know what else is going on in America, but this finally something exciting.
There's the gawker aspect to it.
But what do you think is, what's the dominant?
Which of those describes the you think the majority of the public reaction is, I can't believe it.
But I'm going to watch it because, man, it's better than knitting on TV, except it will be on TV, except it is on TV.
Bruce Jenner, whatever, going to get his revenge on the Kardashians because his show is going to be bigger than theirs and he's going to make more money than they do and he's going to do it without them.
So I'm heterosexual, proudly, normally, normal, happy, well-adjusted, no guilt, and I have relations with a woman.
I just wanted to state it, go public.
I know it's provocative to the left.
Try this.
This is from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
This is not some flaky penny saver type publication in Minneapolis, but this is the primary newspaper.
Minneapolis Private Screwl takes students to adult novelty store for sex ed lesson.
Imagine your parent, you live in Minneapolis.
It's a private school you send your kids to because it's so polluted and disgusting in the public schools.
So you're spending additional money to send your child to a private school in Minneapolis.
And then you find out that the leader of the private school took your kid.
This is school for 11, 12, and 13 year olds.
Took your son or daughter on a sex education field trip to an adult novelty store.
It happened late last week.
Lynn Floyd, whose 11 and 13-year-old daughters were part of the outing to the Smitten Kitten.
That's the name of the adult store.
Man, this is just a major breach of trust.
You just can't erase those images.
She means with little kids going to the sex store.
And what they see will be indelled on their minds forever.
You know what the name of the school is?
Ready for this?
The Gaia Democratic School.
Not Gay, G-A-Y-A, but the Earth Princess, Gaia.
The Gaia Democratic School, a leader there and the host of the field trip defended the outing, saying that the visit kept a months-long sex education class for 11, 12, and 13-year-olds.
The director is Starry Hedges.
It sounds like a porn star.
Starry Hedges, S-T-A-R-R-I, Director Starry Hedges, who also teaches the SCRUL sex education class, said she wanted to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students to learn about human sexual behavior.
Her classroom obviously wasn't safe.
And she didn't think that the kids' homes were safe.
Nope.
She had to round them up and take them to the Smitten Kitten.
The adult bookstore.
Starry Hedges said, what I saw happening in our trip, I thought it was beautiful because kids could talk to these sex educators without any shame, without any fear.
Oh, so the proprietors at the adult bookstore are now sex educators.
So the teacher, the leader, surrendered all teaching or much of the teaching to the people that run the Smitten Kitten.
And the kids were permitted to ask questions of the people that own, operate, and work at the Smitten Kitten.
Now, the Gaia Democratic Scruel is a K through 12 scruple with a motto promising academic freedom, youth empowerment, and democratic education.
Parents say the school has about 25 students.
What kind of place is this?
That 25 and the whole school?
K through 12?
Is that right?
Parents say the scruel has about 25 students, including several described by administrators as transgender.
Oh, that means it's hip.
That means it's with it.
That means it's cutting edge.
Transgender.
That is the new it thing.
IRS records show that the scruel housed in a Unitarian church has an annual budget of about 100 grand.
What the hell is this, folks?
So you've got a private school called the Gaia Democratic School, 25 students housed in a Unitarian church.
And they go on a field trip to an adult bookstore for sex education.
While at the Smitten Kitten, students sat in the front in a library section of the store, said Starry Hedges, who runs the scruple.
Everything deemed pornographic was off limits to the students, though sex toys and other products were visible.
Well, then, what does everything deem pornographic was off limits?
If the sex toys are there, and if the 11, 12, and 13-year-olds see them, it can ask the teachers, i.e. the employees of the Smitten Kitten, hey, what is that?
Well, little Johnny, let me tell you what this is.
This is often dildo.
Really?
Really?
What?
What is it dildo?
I would love to hear the answer to the question.
I mean, they were talking sex toys here, 11, 12, and 13-year-olds.
And of course, shockingly, the story points out the kids loved it.
Well, heck yes, they loved it.
Who knows what they did?
You know, my always question is, were they given a pack of cigarettes at the end of the field trip to complete the lesson?
Now, Starry Hedges is not a porn star.
I just said that that's the name, and it sounds like somebody who could be a porn star.
Starry Hedge has said it was certainly the first time we've taken that kind of field trip, and it'll probably be our last, which I feel bad about because the kids had so much fun.
Snerdley would have loved it for his snurdley would have eaten this up.
Snerdley's a kind of 11-12, but he'd be the first one on the bus.
And they would have had to drag him out of the Smitten kitten.
So you can't blame the kids here.
If they're crying out 11-12, their hormones are just starting to rage, all these things going on in their young bodies they don't understand, and they're taken to a place where all of a sudden all those things they don't understand start to make sense.
It doesn't say anything about an exam.
It was just the safe environment, just that the Smitten kitten was said to be.
How about Obama?
I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office.
Folks, who talks that way?
Who in the world?
Who in the world talks that?
What in the world would inspire somebody to say president of the United States, particularly when it comes nowhere near being true?
Henry Kissinger's been in the Oval Office.
He is Jewish.
There have been all kinds of Jewish, not presidents, of course, but he didn't say that.
He said, I'm the closest thing to a Jew that's ever sat in this audience.
I don't know anybody who talks like this.
I mean, not in sophisticated circles.
People that do talk like this are the kind of people that are running around defensive or angry or, you know, have the proverbial chip on their shoulders.
It is not specified when this bizarre comment was made.
But, you know, Obama, he has these imaginary straw people that he always talks about, the people that don't exist, like little Dick Gephardt's got his rich friend that always wanted tax increases.
Obama's got these kind of guys too: imaginary children, imaginary ancestors.
But I mean, Obama must think, I mean, to talk like this, I'm the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office.
Obama must think that people think he's anti-Israel.
And why would people think that he's anti-Israel?
Who in their right mind could possibly think that Barack Hussein Obama is anti-Israel?
I mean, he sat in the pews of an anti-Semite preacher and church, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, for more than 20 years.
But like Bill Clinton said he never inhaled, Obama said he never listened.
President Obama, did you know this?
He worked with Reverend Wright's close friend and political buddy, Calypso Louis Farrakhan, on the Million Man March.
The man who said upon taking office he wanted to create more daylight between himself and Israel, a man who wants to give the Palestinians a state without any concessions from them.
A man who is determined to protect Iran while it develops a nuclear arsenal, a man who sent his top advisors to Israel to try to influence their elections so that Benjamin Netanyahu would lose.
A man who, after he was unsuccessful in throwing Israel's election, said the U.S. will no longer defend Israel at the U.N. Why would anybody think this man is anti-Israel?
I'm the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office.
White House Press Secretary Josh Ernest endorsed the sentiment on Tuesday, saying that Obama gave a heartfelt speech at a Jewish synagogue in Washington last month that expressed the kinds of common bonds and common values that are embodied in his regime that are also advocated by the Jewish community.
Well, man, you could have fooled me.
Closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in the office.
Try this headline.
Working nine to five, becoming less popular way to make a living.
See what I mean?
Every story, every story is about the decline or the attack or the plundering into perversion and whatever else that our society is doing having happened to it, seeing, witnessing, every story is chronicling this.
I've got to take a break now.
I'll be back with more after this.
Don't go.
Brushland Ball.
Excellence in Broadcasting Network, a most listened to radio talk show in America, the most talked about radio talk show, the most talked about host in America, CNN.
You know, this is not an it's not a new thing, but it's the first time I've seen this headline.
And it's at CNN.
Obama approval heads downhill.
You know, Obama's approval numbers have been in the mid to low 40s before, around 2012, 2013, maybe even 2014.
But the media wouldn't go there.
I mean, they acknowledged it, but they didn't really promote it.
Not like Wolf Blitzer did by reporting George Bush at 39%, something like 25 times in a three-hour show on CNN.
Practically coming out of every commercial break, breaking news alert, Bush approval lower than ever.
I mean, we've played the soundbite for you, but when Obama has had his numbers down, there's not been, and understandably, we didn't chronicle that, but now they are.
Obama approval heads downhill.
You don't, when you think of the low information crowd, headlines is pretty much all they see.
Headlines, you know, the news summaries at Facebook.
Big source of news for a lot of people, which has Bob Schieffer totally confused and a little bit upset.
Can't control Facebook.
Facebook is just people telling each other what they found in the news out there.
And they headline, hunt.
I mean, Yahoo news.
So you see a headline, Obama approval heads downhill.
That's going to have impact that such news prior to today has not had.
Obama's job approval numbers are sinking as American attitudes about the nation's progress have taken a turn for the worse, according to a CNN poll.
Now, we had the poll yesterday.
We had the poll results yesterday, but CNN now reporting on their own poll is doing so in a way.
I've not seen a headline like this.
We'll have to see if it matters, and if there are more examples of it, be right back.
Don't go away.
Say, quick question.
Does all of this media attention on Caitlin Jenner offend Muslims?
What does the Islamic religion say?
What does Islam say about transgenders and so forth?
We know it does not allow homosexuality.
I must say that we learned the other day the Iranians do have a program, supposedly one of tolerance dealing with transgender.
So maybe transgenderism in Islam is okay, and maybe this is not offending them.
But we have to be careful, do we not?
And we have to be very, very, very careful that we do not offend Islamists.
As you well know, we can't do cartoon shows of the prophet and so forth.
So it's a legitimate question.
It's one we must ask.
Working 9 to 5, becoming a less popular way to make a living.
Companion stories.
Frugality of high earners in America shows long shadow of recession.
U.S. consumer spending flat in April as income and savings rise.
Oh, and guess who's back, by the way?
Former Labor Secretary and PBS commentator Robert B. Reich, he appeared on the Aldernet.
You know, he's the diminutive and rather short former labor secretary and a former commentator on PBS.
He was on the news hour with Jim Olara a lot and Robert McNeil, and he did commentary.
Each time he finished his commentary, he would sign up by saying, I am Robert B. Reich.
So I pronounce his name that way, a little exaggeration.
But he's out ripping into corporate corporate welfare and corporate cronyism or corporate socialism, what have.
And he may have a point, as you will hear when we get to it.
Al Sharpton is threatening the Republican Party in America.
And as you know, you may not yet believe it, but it's true.
The Republican National Convention is going to be in Cleveland.
And Sharpton was in Cleveland recently speaking at the Olivet Institutional Baptist Church.
And, you know, Sharpton is the official race czar of the regime.
He's Obama's race czar.
Al Sharpton issued what some people see as a threat against the Republican Convention in 2016.
He said, you will not have an election without Republicans addressing policing, he told the PAC crowd.
He speaks of a summer offensive and a moral offensive that will culminate in the GOP convention.
It's a threat.
You will not have an election without Republicans addressing policing.
You will not have a convention without Republicans addressing policing.
He's promising all kinds of trouble if the Republicans don't do what he wants done on this issue of the police.
And coming up on the program today, folks, a little presentation on just how bad the state of crime and policing is in city after city after city that has been run by Democrats for years.
Before we get to all that, I want to head to the audio sound bites on this gender business as it continues because there's some incredible things being said out there.
And I wanted to get started.
I want to go back to something I said yesterday about the new normals.
And when I finished saying this, I said this is fundamentally, you all need to understand this.
This business about as we are being told what the new normal is and how we'd better accept the new normal.
And the new normal is defined as the people who make up 1.8% of the American.
But you know what the transgender population of the country is, by the way?
The gay population is 1.8%.
And we are supposed to sit by and say, that's the new normal.
And we're supposed to blindly accept it.
That's the new normal.
But the other side of it is, what are the new weirdos?
If there's a new normal, it means there have to be new weirdos.
And the point of claiming that minorities like this are the new normal is that we predominantly the Christian majority in this country, these people are the weirdos.
That's the attempt being made here.
And I think that manifests itself whenever you start thinking about the Republican branding problem that people talk about.
Republicans are the weirdos.
Republicans are the freaks.
Republicans are the kooks.
Republicans are this or that and the other thing.
The transgender population in the country is being generous, 0.4%.
And yet, we're being told to stand by, stand aside, sit idly by and acknowledge that this is the new normal.
This is what I said in full.
And I said it was, I ran through this rather quickly yesterday.
I told people, go to my website if this goes by too fast, because this is something that you really need to learn and absorb and understand.
Folks, one of the motivations, one of the reasons, purposes, if you will, of defining a new normal is also defining the new weirdos.
When society's norms come under assault and attack as discriminatory, mean-spirited, bigoted, racist, homophobic, sexist, misogynist, whatever, when those norms come under assault as rooted in those characteristics and new norms are sought and desired, and the new norms now will consist of homosexuality and transgenderism and different definitions of marriage and what have you.
One of the purposes of doing that is to also redefine the new weirdos.
And who do you think the new weirdos are?
And I don't think there is any doubt that this is a studied, at least from those that are doing all of this with a political agenda attached, the objective here, and it's not new, it's been happening for quite right in front of our eyes, is to portray conservatives slash Christians slash Republicans as the real weirdos.
They're the real oddballs.
They're the ones that are not cool.
They're the, I mean, they're antiques.
They're from a long gone era that has long ago been bypassed.
And they're just relics.
And they've got to be just phased out.
And I think that is in large part one of the objectives as well, is to redefine not just the new norms, but the new weirdos.
And I think that's actually what, you know, when you hear people talk about the Republican Party and its branding problem, that's really what they're talking about, unknowingly.
That's the manifestation of all of this.
Do not doubt me on this.
It's fundamental.
It's crucial to your understanding, your ongoing understanding of the daily advance of the leftist Democrat Party agenda in this country.
Because there's no doubt that the quest here on the part, gay marriage, gay rights, transgender, and don't forget what we learned yesterday about transabled.
People who think are just, for example, I don't feel right with this left arm.
I just don't, it shouldn't be there.
I just don't feel right.
And they cut it off.
They self-amputate.
This has been given a name.
Transabled.
Instead of disabled.
Transabled.
And it's a new category.
And it's something that we're to sit by and understand and respect and appreciate because it constitutes our wonderful diversity.
And it illustrates the amazing differences that exist throughout the melting pot.
That is the glorious American culture.
So there's nothing that is abnormal, and there's nothing that is wrong except what used to be normal.
That is the new abnormal.
That is the new freak.
That is the new kook.
That is the new weirdo.
You and everybody else that's in the, I don't care, religious, numerical, racial, whatever majority you want to categorize.
It's an all-out assault on it.
So let's now go to the E Entertainment Network and their online website.
They released a promotional trailer ad for the new Caitlin Jenner reality series.
Did you know there was going to be one of those?
This is called Get Even with the Kardashians.
I'm convinced that's what this is.
What is the name of the Kardashians show?
A week with the Kardashians?
A year with the Kardashians?
Running with the Kardashians?
Whatever the name of it is.
Oh, yeah.
Keeping up with the Kardashians.
Well, this is instead of the Kardashians.
Or this is, we're going to tromp all over the Kardashians.
Caitlin Jenner reality series.
I am Kate is the name of it, C-A-I-T.
It premieres on July 26th.
Make a note on your calendars.
Make a reminder on your phone.
I am Kate debuting on July 26th.
Here's a portion, and it's on the E-Entertainment Network.
And here's a portion of the ad they're running to promote it.
You start learning kind of the pressure that women are under all the time about their appearance.
I never had until a couple of weeks ago.
Actually, a professional come in and do my makeup.
What a difference.
Okay, we're officially off the property.
We're out into the world.
It's so bright out there.
Look at that.
Isn't it great that maybe someday you'll be normal?
Just blend into society.
You are normal.
Put it this way.
I'm the new normal.
See, my, what in the did I tell you?
I am the new normal.
We are the new normal.
Just like a disastrous, weak, plunging economy.
It's the new normal.
Just like hard-to-get Obamacare health insurance, hard-to-get actual Obamacare treatment.
It's the new norm.
America in decline, politically, economically, now culturally, that's the new norm.
And you better learn it, love it, and live it.
Now we go to yesterday afternoon, CNN's.
No, we're not.
We're going to take a brief timeout, and then we'll come back with what happened on CNN yesterday afternoon.
Do not go away.
Transgenderism is the new normal.
Right?
It's so normal.
Bruce Jenner had 10 operations on his face to try to make it look more feminine.
That's really normal, right?
Sorry, folks.
You can't change that.
You can't change gender.
You can pretend that you are and you go through all the motions, but sorry, it literally can't be done.
But try telling that to the American pop culture today and you're going to get nowhere.
That's going to be thought of.
Painful.
That's discriminatory.
That's hurtful.
You can't say that.
I know.
I can't say it.
This happens to be the literal truth.
You can't change your gender.
Chromosomes are what they are.
You can't change it.
All you can do is artificially mock it up, but you can't change it.
But I know there's no win going there.
It's one of those many self-evident truths that have been obliterated now and blown to smithereens, making them wide open for redefinition as to what anybody wants them to be.
Let me grab a quick call.
Chill at Coffee, Missouri.
Steve, great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
You're up first today, and welcome.
Thank you.
Hey, Rush.
I'm a little nervous because I've never come out of the closet in any way before, but I wanted you to know, be the first to know in your audience to know that I am actually an African-American.
I've been an African-American my entire life.
It's been bottled up inside me, and as of today, I'm no longer going to be Caucasian.
Really?
How old are you?
I'm 38.
38?
You've been living in this prison for, how old were you when you first learned that you weren't really white?
Must have been about 10.
10 years old.
10 years old, you knew you weren't white, even though you were.
You weren't white.
You knew you were African American or black.
So you've lived 28 years in a prison, right?
I mean, you haven't been able to be who you are.
Right.
It's just, it's been horrible because every day I wake up and I know I'm black and everyone around me is white and I'm living here in flyover country and everybody's in my small town is basically white.
Well, this has got to be held because here you are, you're Caucasian, but you know you're black, but nobody can see that you're black, so nobody can see who you really are.
And you're desperate to be seen who you really are.
You're desperate to be known for who you really are.
You're not an actor.
You ought to be known for who you are.
You know you're black, but nobody can tell it.
And you go tell people you're black and they think you're nuts, right?
Right.
I mean, I've signed up for like minority grants and that sort of thing, and, you know, they all just laugh at me.
Why?
What's wrong with minor?
Oh, because, oh, I get it.
Because, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is a very courageous act on your part.
I mean, too.
To be African-American trapped in a white body, that's cruel.
The height of cruelty.
Who could do something like that to another person?
And that's got to be tough.
I mean, you're signing up for benefits that are available to African Americans, and you're telling them you are one.
You knew when you were 10 that you were, and they're denying you, right?
Right.
So what are you doing about it?
Well, I'm trying to start a movement.
I'm calling you, and I'm telling 30 million people that I'm actually black.
Are you going to do it on Twitter?
You're going to have a Facebook campaign?
I mean, how are you going to post your...
I haven't got that far yet.
I'm not...
I mean, you're 30 million people.
You've got to get going.
You're reaching 20 million here, but I imagine a number of them are going to be kind of skeptical of this.
I'm sure you're going to face people that aren't going to believe you, be skeptical, and think you're just trying to get on a financial gravy train because they're going to look at you and they're going to see, Caucasian, what color is your hair?
Blonde.
Blonde.
And yet you're African American.
In your heart, in your mind.
You know you're black.
Apparently, that's the way I felt since I was 10.
You felt African – what does it feel like to be African?
I don't understand.
It's just hard to explain.
I just am not white.
I don't fit in with my family.
Do you hate the cops?
You have an animus against police officers?
Well, that's been building lately.
As I see how other people of my color treat the cops and feel towards them, that's kind of been building in me.
So, yeah.
Taking it personally, taking it personally, I can understand that.
Well, you know, you're going to have to prove you're going to have to prove this to people.
I mean, you just can't go out there and say this.
You have to prove you're black by doing all of the stereotypes, like Bruce Jenner is doing with women.
I mean, you're going to, you know, Bruce Jenner just didn't say, hey, I'm a woman.
He had to go do the whole whatever to convince people of it.
You're going to have to.
You can't just say it.
