Time Text
And welcome back, folks, to the fastest three hours in media.
Otherwise known as the Rush Limbaugh Program, otherwise known as the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We're great to have you here.
Telephone number if you want to join us.
800-282-2882 and the email address Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
Look, I've got one more thing on Caitlin Bruce Jenner, and then I want to move on to some other things here.
Actually, just a couple of more things here.
I've been seeing this guy on CNN all week that I haven't had the sound up.
Uh well, I've not been sure.
I thought it was a guy.
I wasn't sure.
I never saw a name.
And I just read the Chiron graphics and some of the closed captioning going by, and I was under the impression that this person was on promoting and approving and applauding what Jenner was doing, and that CNN was therefore applauding and promoting and all that, what gender was doing, which of course, from a political standpoint, made perfect sense.
CNN.
I later found out who this was, and it's the exact opposite of what I thought was going on.
Is Walt Heyer.
Does it name ring a bell to you?
Walter Heyer, 74-year-old transsexual who deeply regrets his decision, and he has come forward to caution everybody who thinks that transgenderism solves psychosexual problems.
This guy, Walter Heyer was on CNN on Tuesday.
He warned viewers on CNN that the relief accompanying gender reassignment surgery does not last.
In fact, he went back.
He was a man, transgendered female, went back to who he was.
And he's now 74 years old.
After Jenner expressed exhilaration over the Vanity Fair cover, Walter Heyer responded that such elation is normal, but it is transient.
He acknowledged that, quote, this is really the most exciting time in a transgender's life.
It's the debut, all the things you had hoped and thought about are coming true.
From personal experience, though, and from the many transgender people who write to him, Heyer says he knows this does not last.
It's sort of like going down to the bar.
You're having a good time, you drink it up good, and then you know you wake up with a hangover.
In an essay earlier this year, Walter Heyer offered a chilling autobiographical account of abuse and gender confusion, sexual reassignment surgery, a short reprieve from anxiety and eventually deep regret at his decision.
In fact, this guy Heyer spells it H-E-Y-E-R, Walter Heyer.
His um his essay here sounds exactly like what that uh doctor at Johns Hopkins says about this.
That's a mental illness, it's a mental disease, and it needs treatment, compassion and therapy, that it isn't possible, there's no such thing as changing your gender.
It's all a myth.
It's it's and it's not healthy, it isn't good, and we ought not to be celebrating it.
You know, I pointed this out some months ago, and I'm surprised.
I I thought this guy would be vilified and attacked and destroyed because it was in the Wall Street Journal.
He wrote his op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, and it just literally was ignored.
Nobody said a word about it.
But in his essay, Hire, who is now reverted to his male identity, his original identity, he's now married to his wife, been there for 18 years.
He now spends his energy raising public awareness of the disastrous penalties of gender reassignment.
Changing genders is short-term gain with long-term pain, he writes.
Its consequences include early mortality, regret, mental illness, and suicide.
It's exactly what the Johns Hopkins doctor said.
He said the suicide rate among transgenders is 20 times.
The suicide rate for people who are not transgendered, or we can say the general population.
The consequences of transgenderism include early mortality.
For those of you in real, that means you die sooner.
Regret, mental illness, and suicide.
And this story, this is in Breitbart, but this guy said this on CNN earlier this week.
Clinical studies seem to confirm Walter Heyer's conclusions, a review of more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transgenders carried out in the UK in 2004 found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery is clinically effective.
Now it it I'll tell you something, folks.
I know a lot of you are, well, I'm not a lot of some of you, the stick to the issues crowd, are writing me, will you stop talking about that?
Look at you're a political mentor.
I don't care about this.
This is my point from top to bottom, beginning to end.
Every bit of this is politics.
And the politics of this is exactly what I explained yesterday.
There's an effort here to redefine normal.
And the effort to define normal is a political effort of the population that's less than 2% of the country.
In the case of transgenders, the transgender population of this country is 0.4, 0.5%.
It's minuscule.
But they are now the spearhead of a political agenda that used to be led by the uh the militant homosexual political aspects, but they've mainstreamed.
I mean, in gay marriage and people that's uh for the most part accept it, but they can't let the movement die, so transgenders are not picking up slack, or people speaking for transgenders are picking up the slack.
It is politics, folks.
And the politics is specifically this.
The quest to redefine normal is an attack on traditional morality, an attack on mainstream Christianity, and an effort, if you're going to redefine norm, you've got to redefine weird.
If you're going to say that whatever is 0.4% of the population is normal, well, guess what becomes weird?
Guess who the weirdos become?
That's the political aspect of this.
And if you don't believe that, and if you don't understand, open your eyes, because that is that is the root of the so-called branding problem the Republican Party has.
Because the Republican Party is what?
The Republican Party is said to be insensitive to all this.
The Republican Party and conservatives are said not to care about people and to be mean-spirited and extremist and all these other isms, racism, bigotryism, homophobism, all of this.
That's where the republi what the Republican Party image is.
The people attempting to rebrand the party are trying to rebrand it as the oddballs, the kooks, the weirdos, uh, the unhipped, the uncool, the hip and cool gay rights, gay marriage, uh all this other stuff that is traditionally not been defined as normal, either in terms of morality or simply cultural majorities and minorities.
It's an attempt to redefine it, and that's the political agenda here.
And many of these people in these groups, the uh homosexual population, the transgender population, they're tools.
They're not all activists.
Very few of them are, actually.
They're being used and dragged along in this, and that's the politics of it.
If you if you think I'm abandoning politics by talking about this, you do not yet understand this program.
Because thanks to the Democrat Party and the American left, there isn't anything that isn't politics.
They're trying to politicize football now, folks.
And use it, aspects of it, and now FIFA and soccer to advance the leftist agenda.
Everything is part of the attempt to advance the leftist agenda.
And proof of it is you can't find this story, Walter Heyer anywhere.
He goes on CNN, but it doesn't make it beyond CNN.
He has to, It's reported at Breitbart.
Nobody else is talking about this.
If this guy's right, what Jenner's doing is really harmful to himself.
And what a lot of them are doing is harmful.
If there were really true compassion on the Democrat side, they would not be promoting this.
But you see, in our culture today, tolerance and equality and human rights has now come to mean whatever you want to do is fine, especially if it offends somebody.
Then it's even better.
If it offends Rush Limbaugh, if it offends Sarah Palin, if it offends the Republican Party, then you're really on the right track.
And that's the politics of it.
When in fact it isn't healthy.
And that's what Mr. Heyer is saying, and the fact that nobody.
So here's two examples.
An actual transgender writing and interviewing interviewed on CNN telling the truth about it, and the doctor from uh his name was McHugh, Paul McHugh at Johns Hopkins, both being ignored.
And you would have to say that both are experts.
As a former transgender myself, this is this is uh Walter Heyer writing, as a former transgender myself, I found it painful to see Jenner looking so fragile, exhibiting an uncertain nervousness throughout the interview.
I guess this is with Diane Sawyer.
I see Jenner and my heart sinks with sadness.
My stomach aches in pain.
When Jenner said, I want to know how this story ends, you know, a rush of concern filled me.
I know one possible outcome of the story.
Great pain to kids, great pain to wife, great pain for family, and even great pain to himself.
I want to yell at him, stop!
The bridge is out.
Don't try to cross the river here.
Heyer's prognosis for Jenner is not bright, though he admits there is hope.
As long as the television lights are on and the cameras are rolling, being in the spotlight he enjoys, Jenner will be fine.
Yes.
And of course, I I'm sorry, folks, I can't totally abandon the little in my head that says publicity stunt.
After all, we're talking about the Kardashians here at the end of the day.
But when the lights go dim, writes Mr. Hire, and the cameras are no longer rolling.
Jenner will face the most difficult time of his life.
His celebrated change of gender could turn on him and become the cause of deep depression.
And if that's not treated, according to those who study the causes of suicide is the number one cause for suicide.
And it is the suicide rate in transgenders is 20 times that in the general population.
Having been incorrectly, now this is hire writing, having been incorrectly diagnosed and pressured into a sex change operation.
Walter Heyer is deeply insensitive to the plight of many young people today who are confused about their own sexuality and receive mixed messages from a society eager for them to take steps that can never be undone.
Instead of encouraging them to undergo unnecessary and destructive surgery, let's affirm and love our young people just the way they are.
Well, I'm all for that.
But at the same time, people have to love themselves.
And people have to love themselves before anybody else will, other than familial love.
I mean, that's a bond.
Heyer said he has little patience for enlightened parents who think they're doing their children a favor by playing up their confusion and catering to their dreams of being the opposite gender.
Though motivated by a desire to be open-minded and supportive, this parental behavior is ultimately destructive.
He says.
Have you heard this anywhere on TV, folks?
You've seen this?
Other than that, I saw him on CNN.
I didn't bother to turn the sound up.
I thought, obviously, CNN would be somebody promoting this, but apparently not.
Walter Heyer now runs a website called sexchangeregret.com, as well as a blog, hoping in this way to educate the broader public on the tragic consequences of transsexualism.
is one, so this is not unrelated, unattached bias.
You know what's interesting here?
He admits that he was incorrectly diagnosed and pressured into doing this.
Now, who would do that?
One of Obama's doctors that does amputations unnecessarily for the quick extra buck.
Who would obviously some politicized psychosurgeon or what have you?
And they're all over the place out there on the left.
And but of course, no, nothing is wrong.
You're not wrong.
Nothing you do is wrong.
That's who you are.
Live it, love it, live it.
Oh, the absence of guardrails and the absence of a strong morality, which I believe vast majority of people really want.
People want to know where the lines are.
People want to know where the boundaries are.
People that don't never talk their boundaries.
They're the most confused, miserable, unhappy people.
They're not free.
They're not liberated.
It's just the exact opposite.
So I understand that many of you think this is not politics, but it's all politics.
Every bit of it.
Because these people, just like everybody else that votes Democrat, are being used to advance one or more aspects.
The Democrat agenda.
Here comes the SP.
You know, giving Jenner the Arthur Ash Courage Award.
Do you realize that blew up on Twitter?
In something that Mr. Snerdley might give you hope for the American culture.
Twitter users are threatening to boycott ESPN after it was announced that Jenner would be awarded the Arthur Ash Award for Courage at the 2015 SPS.
The hashtag boycott ESPN is trending big on Twitter.
Many users pointing to athletes they believe has shown much more courage.
One of the most popular choices is Lauren Hill, a 19-year-old cancer patient who fulfilled her dream of playing college basketball before she died.
Yeah, it was.
Other was uh recommended Noah Galloway, the double amputee Iraq veteran who became a long-distance runner and a contestant on dancing with the stars.
But the overarching theme was displeasure with the choice of hell.
Even Tom Cruise's kid came out against Jenner getting the ESB war.
I mean, that's big, folks.
I see it.
Yeah, that's an expert.
The story, the story is all of the drugs that were stolen from that CVS, just during the riots, enough drugs to keep the city high for a year.
That's what the story is in Baltimore.
Enough drugs were stolen from another places up there during these riots, the Freddie Gray riots, to keep Baltimore high for a year.
The police, some I don't know, it wasn't the commissioner, but maybe deputy commissioner was on TV this morning lamenting this and talking about it.
And of course, now Marilyn Mosby will not release the autopsy report to anybody.
She's obviously trying to hide something.
Let's not forget something.
The first report from the ME said there was no homicide in the Freddie Gray death.
The next day, Mosby goes out and announces the indictment of these six cops and claims it was a homicide, and it's the ME, the medical examiner told her.
So now people want to see defense, the cops everyone to see the autopsy report, and she's not releasing it.
So the natural question what are you trying to hide?
The statistics coming out of Baltimore.
It just, it's it's horrible.
Soon after the rioting in Baltimore ended in late April, the world's media turned their gaze elsewhere, and then, as a petulant police force retreated to its station houses, the real carnage began.
This the Washington Post editorial on this.
May was the most lethal month in the city of Baltimore in more than 40 years.
Now let me tell you something here, folks.
Baltimore has been a Democrat fiefdom for over 40 years.
You want some politics?
Let me give some politics.
The Democrat Party and individual Democrats have run Democrat Baltimore as a private fiefdom for over 40 years.
Elijah Cummings has for 33 years been representing the exact place where all the violence has occurred.
He was first in the state legislature and then in Congress.
Martin O'Malley, who is now running for president on the Democrat side, was the mayor of Baltimore for eight years, and then the governor of Maryland for eight more.
And before that, he was a member of the Baltimore City Council for eight years.
So you've got Elijah Cummings, you got Martin O'Malley, and you've got the Pelosi's, you've got any number of people in the Democrat Party.
This is a strictly total Democrat city.
And many of the most famous Democrats alive today have had a hand in running that city.
And a Washington Post editorial here from a couple of days ago rips the governor of five months for the problem.
This editorial doesn't even mention Elijah Cummings.
It doesn't even mention Martin O'Malley.
It doesn't mention Mosby.
It doesn't mention it mentions the new governor of five or six months as the reason for the problems in Baltimore.
CBS Baltimore says they're reporting that more than a hundred and seventy-five thousand units or doses of drugs of all kinds were looted from 27 pharmacies and two methadone clinics during the April 27th riots.
In addition to that, almost half of the businesses have not even finished assessing what was stolen.
So even now, the number 175,000 units is premature.
And that's why it's being reported that there is enough drugs on the street of Baltimore stolen in the April 27th riots to keep Baltimore high for a year.
Now this Washington Post editorial, I'm I'm not, I'm not exaggerating.
I want to go through this again.
Elijah Cummings, you know him.
He sits up there, he's on the uh the government accountability committee, sits opposite uh what's it, Daryl Issa.
And he's tried to thwart ISA everywhere on the IRS investigation, everything.
Elijah Cummings, he's he's run the Congressional Black Caucasians.
He's had his term as president of that group for a while.
Thirty-three years, he has represented the same neighborhood in Baltimore where all of this is happening.
Some of those years he's state representative, others in the U.S. Congress.
Martin O'Malley running for president on Democrat side was mayor for eight years, then governor for eight years, member of the Baltimore City Council for AC, 24 years this guy's been involved in Baltimore, and he's running for president.
So the Washington Post has an editorial on June 1st.
And who do they hold responsible for all the violence, all the murders and the crime?
The new Republican governor, Larry Hogan, who's been in office five months.
This Washington Post editorial doesn't even mention Elijah Cummings.
It doesn't mention Martin O'Malley, and it doesn't mention that Baltimore has been a Democrat Party fiefdom for over 40 years.
The Republicans haven't had a thing to say about what happens in Baltimore.
Furthermore, it was just a year ago that the Washington Post editors mocked the idea that Maryland would ever elect a Republican governor.
When this guy uh Larry Hogan was running, they made fun of him and they laughed at the prospect.
No way, Republican be elect governor, it's never gonna anyone.
And so now all of this, they're trying to say is his fault.
Now, how could that be?
Are we supposed to believe that the city of Baltimore is Rioting and is bent out of shape because this the state elected a Republican governor.
The DOJ is running the Baltimore police department, and that means the police department's been pulled back and pulled back to the point you can't see them.
And you've got Marilyn Mosby, who is a left-wing political activist, who somehow swerved her way into the job of state's attorney politicizing that.
You've got a mayor in there who will not answer questions because they're mean or rude.
But it's it's a Democrat Party outpost.
And Baltimore is the mess it's in because it is a mirror image of the Democrat Party.
And I don't even think that's arguable.
I mean, that's as fact as any fact there is.
Solution is as obvious as it appears to be.
That town needs an entirely different political perspective and leadership.
Because it is obvious the people that live in Baltimore are not being served by the Democrat Party.
How could anybody claim that they are?
How are you going to judge you're going to say that the Democrat Party's doing well by Baltimore by the number of people on welfare?
I how how how do you measure the value of the Democrat Party to the city of Baltimore?
Rush, do you really think it's wide?
You really know you can blame all of this on a political party.
Well, I know it the other way around.
Aren't you a little sick and tired of the Republicans being blamed for things they've got nothing to do with?
And where Republicans are running the show, you don't see messes like this.
I mean, it's not pristine and perfect, of course, but you don't see devaluing and degradation and things like this.
But you do in a lot of Democrat-run cities.
I mean, it is what it is.
People may not want to hear it, and it may be impolitic to say so, and it it may be a little bit more complicated than that, and then it might be a little bit of a simplistic explicit explanation, but I don't know how you can deny the obvious factoids here.
Here's Michael in Morristown, New Jersey.
I'm glad you waited.
Your turn, you're up next in the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes.
Long-term listener from your early days here in New York City.
First of all, I want to say I think that was a brilliant recognition of the Bruce Jenner thing being a political issue.
Absolutely correct, uh, in my opinion as well.
Thank you, sir.
Um getting back to that Nancy Grace question, asking if Bruce cut it off, um uh it's kind of a quandary, maybe.
It must Bruce cut it off to be defined as a woman.
I I I relate this kind of to the Supreme Court looking at uh marriage.
Um you know, you're we're trying to take gender out of the equation here.
Could they possibly could it lead to an invalidation of any law that references gender to avoid discrimination lawsuits?
Uh so uh you you could be whatever you want to declare yourself as.
Uh, you know, today I'm a man, tomorrow I'm a woman, whatever.
Uh well, see that I uh you you're right on the money here because what's stopping anybody from declaring they want to be anything?
Yeah, well, I uh you you went uh you had mentioned something about getting driver's licenses changed.
Um I know in 46 states you you have to do the gender reassignment surgery before you can have your birth certificate changed.
Right.
Uh three states you can I don't know what they they don't say you have to do that, but uh um uh so in those cases could maybe those states uh would have to have their laws overturned.
Uh Bruce Jenner has another more pressing issue, I think that you'd relate to.
He loses his male golf handicap of 5.3, and he has to play as a woman now and start over from scratch.
Well, you know, people are writing stories.
Did Bruce Jenner or Caitlin Jenner win the decanton?
No, no, people are writing this seriously.
There are people.
You know, here's the thing.
If you're gonna go all in on something like this, there are gonna be people that take you seriously and react to it.
Okay, if you've been trending female, if you are female, you've been taking hormones, what were you doing?
Well, they were testing, no, of course not.
But uh this guy Bruce Jenner won the cap line in 1976, but now he's not Bruce Jenner anymore.
So who who won?
What what it people are addressing this stuff in a in what they think is a uh a deeply serious uh intellectual fashion.
But as to the here's one for you.
I was just asked this.
It's very rare, uh, Michael, and I'm sure you'll understand this, and I'm asked a question that I'm stymied by.
But I was just asked if if Jenner goes ahead and does the chopped off me, which is Nancy Grace's question, if you missed the beginning of the program, Nancy Grace was asking of the media expert at CNN whether Jenner still had the male organ.
And he and her belief, if he's still got that, then all this is just bull, it's BS.
Not a woman.
You cannot be a woman and have a penis.
Well, there's no legal definition yet out there.
If you I've done a whole bunch of searching, and uh, of course the internet's got all the truth, right?
So uh but uh there's Well, you raise an interesting point here about taking gender out of taking gender out of marriage, and now we're taking gender out of humanity.
Uh but the question I got was okay.
If Jenner does go through with this and has the choppy tick off of me procedure, then how does uh the new person have or experience or enjoy uh sexual gratification since the mechanism for it is no longer there?
Is there something that is surgically uh attached, implanted to replace it or not?
And what if they'd want to be no gender at all?
Well, there's a place for that on the forum.
Well, uh again, uh maybe the states will be prohibited from um uh asserting gender.
I know California last year wanted to remove uh gender altogether from the marriage certificates, so maybe it should be removed from all documentation where you don't even specify that.
Oh, it I know people are thinking this is crazy.
Nobody's doing that.
They are, folks.
He's right about about what California wants to do.
But the most well, the funniest or most relevant thing about it to me is why.
You realize the basis for all this is called freedom and liberty and love.
The basis, well, who are you to say that somebody can't love somebody else?
There's not enough love in the world anyway.
Why do you care who loves who?
And why do you care what makes somebody happy?
So there's nothing that's wrong if somebody really wants to be or do something, and it's rooted in love and compassion, then nobody's allowed to say it's wrong.
And that's the attack.
That's that's the assault.
Back in just a second.
Hey I'm reminded.
God is watching TMZ and decides the experiment has gone wrong, and humanity has blown it, and ultimately he has blown it.
So God decides it's not worth it, and he's going to end the world.
He needs to alert the media.
So he calls USA Today, he calls the New York Times, he calls the Washington Post, and he asks for lifestyle reporters, and tells each of them he's God, and that uh he's gonna end the world uh in 24 hours.
And he wants to give everybody a heads up.
And all these reporters, these places ask for an exclusive, and God says, nope, I'm not giving anybody exclusive, just hope you spread the word.
So the papers come out.
USA Today, we're cooked.
New York Times headline, God says world to end tomorrow.
It's on page B 13.
Washington Post, front page headline, God says world to end tomorrow, women and minorities hardest hit.
All this just reminds me of that joke.
Folks, thank you so much for being with us today.
Sadly, we are out of busy broadcast time, as is always the case this time each day, but we'll be back open line Friday tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be the last day for me here for a week.
So make sure you're here.
Make sure you don't miss it.
See you then.
