Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hey, folks, great to be back with you here back on the very day I promised that I would be here.
And remember, Jeb Bush announcing today, I always told you the Bushes, whatever else you think of them, they're polite, they are mannered, they're well-bred.
Jeb Bush waited until today, my return, to make his announcement.
Greetings, great to have you back with us, folks, as well.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program of the email address, lrushbo at eibnet.com.
Have you seen the box office success of this new Jurassic Park movie, Jurassic World?
I mean, it's just like the second biggest opening weekend of a movie anywhere, anytime in a history of movies.
And you know who the happiest person about that has to be is Hillary because she's from there.
Do you know Hillary's even out there saying she doesn't know if people want to watch her age?
Folks, I have to tell you here, I remain always surprised by this.
I have a gigantic audio soundbite roster.
By the way, I'm just going to tell you up front, it will be impossible for me to get to everything I want to get to today.
It's just so much of it.
And some of it is going to require in-depth.
For example, I've got this audio soundbite roster here.
Did you realize they make things up about me when I'm gone so that they can bounce things off of other people?
They make up things I haven't said and ask other people about them on these TV talk shows.
I mean, even when I'm not here and I'm not saying anything, they make up things I'm saying and then ask their guests about it or comment on it.
And one of the things that apparently, and I didn't have any news on last week, I've started doing this when I'm actually away.
I actually go away from the news, from any, I mean, I didn't have on any cable news.
I didn't read any news websites until, I guess, Saturday when I started trying to get back in the mood and the mindset for this.
And apparently, all last week, one of the big things that was discussed was, of course, Caitlin Jenner and my observation that what was really being attempted here by the left is a redefinition of normal and normalcy.
And that little soundbite of mine, that quip of mine last week, was all over the place last week.
Well, my comment on it two weeks ago was all over the place last week while I was out.
And I ran across a couple of posts at a website called The Federalist, which have taken up this entire concept of who are the new kooks and who are the new weirdos and how it is massive propaganda creating delusion in the minds of so many of really great questions.
How is it possible that in just the last 10 years, all of these things which were taboo throughout our culture, throughout the culture, things that were taboo are now not only normal, but celebrated.
And the people who are not really supportive of them are called kooks and the new weirdos.
So I want to spend a little time on that when we get to it.
We also do talk about cutting edge.
So we've got this woman in Spokane by the name of Rachel Dolezal Who says she's black?
She's not.
But she says she's black.
Her parents say she's not.
Well, that's not.
We have the first transracial person in the country on this program before I left.
We had a guy call here, said he identifies as black.
You remember it?
It was on June the date here, June the 3rd.
Grabbed soundbite number one.
This is just a setup.
I've got the whole call coming up later that we're going to excerpt it and start and stop it because it was mind-blowing.
And it was called, I can't tell you the number of people commented to me about it, but this is how it began back on June 3rd of this year.
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.
And that call went on, but again, June 3rd, we're going to have the whole call rolled off here in just a second for you.
But in case you didn't hear it, if you did hear it, it's a greatest hits call.
You're going to want to hear it again.
But here, Rachel Dolezal's not the first.
It all happened here on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Now, this Dolezal, babe, how best to get into this?
Let me try this.
One of the things that was awaiting me in my show prep email account when I got back was a Wall Street Journal story.
And the headline is, Wall Street is getting tired of funding socially conservative Republicans running for president.
There's a picture of Ted Cruz here.
And here's how this story begins.
For years, when it came to presidential candidates, Wall Street made huge compromises in order to support the Republican Party.
The money men in New York City set aside their socially liberal views in order to support fiscally conservative candidates because that was the only way to get on the same page as the Republican base.
The result has been a series of candidates Wall Street's big donors did not really want.
It seems those donors are getting tired of that outcome.
Edge fund billionaire Leon Cooperman recently vetted his frustration with his arrangement, this arrangement, on an episode of Wall Street Weeks.
And I tend to be more Republican in my views, but socially very liberal.
And I'm going to have trouble with any Republican that does not disavow a fixation with social issues.
This irritates me to no end.
I've had, as I've reported to you on several occasions here, many of my Republican friends over the course of the years have also said the same thing to me, as though somehow I'm the leader of the social movement aspect of the Republican Party.
They come up to me and they practically wag their fingers at me.
We just can't win.
We've got to get rid of social issues.
And if you don't lead the pack on this, we're never going to win anything.
The social issues are dragging us down.
I said, what social?
Well, you know, abortion.
Okay, fine.
And I saw this headline.
Finally, something clicked.
It is not Republicans who push social issues.
It is not conservatives who push social issues.
And I realize now that many of them – wait just a second, Rush.
Ladies and gentlemen, would you agree with the statement that our culture is rotting?
Would you partially agree?
Would you somewhat agree?
Would you totally agree?
Would you totally disagree?
My thought is that most people on our side would agree to one extent or another that our culture is rotting.
Now, who is responsible for this?
Who actually is injecting social issues into politics and has been from practically the beginning?
If you think it's the Republicans, and if you think it's the Christian right, the moral majority, or what have you, you are wrong.
They are defenders.
As is the usual case, it is the left that establishes the agenda on practically everything because they're relentless.
What is a demand that everybody agree to and accept and support and agree with and love gay marriage?
Is that not a social issue?
And now, what is it, and who is it that is demanding that we open up and embrace transgenderism?
Is it not the left demanding all of this?
Who is it that has watered down all of these social institutions that are rooted in morality?
It's not us, it's the left.
And so, when conservatives respond in a way that is actually an attempt to defend tradition in institutions, particularly social and moral institutions, that's exactly what it is.
It's a defense.
It's a reaction to what we see as an aggressive attempt on the part of the left to transform our culture into something that it hasn't been.
And that's how we get to the idea that, well, if what used to be weird or kooky is now the new norm, then of course, who are the new kooks and weirdos?
Which I think is part of the agenda, is to have Republicans and conservatives thought of as uncool, unhip kooks and weirdos.
To the point now that when Caitlin Jenner or transgenderism itself comes up in the context of a political debate, question, interview, or what have you, the odds are every Republican you see is going to punt the issue by saying, oh, we support human beings and we love human beings.
And if a human being thinks he's a woman is a man, fine with me.
That to me is an attempt on the part of any Republican does that to appear to be hip, to appear to be cool, to avoid being thought of as the new weirdo.
But in the process, the culture rots because nobody's willing to stand up and stop or oppose this.
Folks, I saw one thing.
I don't remember how I saw it, but it made me abandon my sabbatical and head to the web to try to find this.
This notion, I thought it was a joke at first.
It didn't take me long to realize it wasn't a joke.
That the term you guys represents sexism now.
That you guys is discriminatory.
You guys, as an inclusive of all of humanity, is a slight to women.
And women who call each other, hey, you guys, they are betraying the sisterhood.
I mean, this is getting absurd.
It has been getting absurd.
It has been absurd, getting absurd for years now.
And nobody stands up and says, stop.
Nobody stands up and says, just, this is stupid.
This is silly.
Stop it.
Instead, everybody reacts in a way, or I say everybody, a vast majority of people react in ways that they will not be tagged as the new weirdos or kooks.
And in that way, the left wins in their effort to transform the culture, which is rooted in a desire that actually destroys the culture and re-establishes a new one that is not going to do anybody any good in the long term.
And I believe one of the fundamental problems we have in our country is not just political, it's hard to separate the two, but the cultural rot that we are all witnessing.
And you who have kids growing up, you're growing up into this.
I have to, I don't know, no matter what you're willing to say publicly, I know you're scared to death of what your kids are growing into.
This Rachel Doldazoll, how does this happen, for example?
How does apparently a perfectly normal, appearing white woman end up thinking she's black?
Well, it's clear that this had to start somewhere in the education system.
It has its roots there.
I'm doubtless about this.
And also, it has its roots in victimology.
This country and the left has made it profitable to become a victim of something.
Primarily a victim of an evil, faceless majority.
If you become a member of a minority, you're automatically a victim.
And the victim gets goodies.
The victim gets special consideration, gets special treatment.
The victim is pardoned.
The victim gets excused for all kinds of aberrant weirdo behavior and instead is the recipient of sympathy.
So it's clear that this is a purposeful and studied move that this woman made.
And I think she signals it by saying, no, no, no, I am not African American.
Do not tell me that I'm not African American.
I don't identify as African American.
I identify as black.
Because she knows she can't pull off African American.
The blood just isn't there.
And have you noticed the same people who are commanding us, demanding of us that we not only embrace, but that we love and support Caitlin Jenner are the same people telling Rachel Dozozoll would have to go to hell.
Very same people.
Why?
If some guy wants to identify as a woman and we're supposed, yeah, man, or dude, or whatever, right on.
And a woman comes along and says, yeah, well, I identify as black.
No, you don't.
And no, you can't because you can't.
Why not?
I mean, once you change the definition, once you open the door, what gives you the right to say no to one woman's self-identification crusade and support another guy's self-identification crusade when he becomes a woman, but still has a penis?
As the famous blogger Ace of Spades asked, all of you leftists who are supporting Caitlin Jenner's right to become a woman, would you go out and have sex with her?
Would all you guys go out and have sex with her?
And the answer is, of course not, because you're having sex with another guy.
So, is she a woman or not?
No, not there's anything wrong with it.
Of course, that's the quality.
Not that there's anything wrong with this, of course, of course.
Not that there's anything wrong with it.
Oh, no, there's nothing wrong with anything, you see.
The only thing wrong is the damn Republicans, and they won't give up the social issues.
And I'm telling you, the Republicans, conservatives, willing to talk about social issues are the last line of defense in the cultural rot that's happening all around us right in front of our eyes.
I get so sick and tired of the Republicans being accused of social issues.
I've had it happen to me.
I've told you the stories.
You got to take a break here, folks, up against it on time.
Be back after this.
Don't go away.
Welcome back.
It's Rushlin Ball, a cutting edge of societal evolution.
We have a news flash.
Civil rights activist and black role model Rachel Doazole has resigned her position with the Spokane NAA LCP.
She announced it on Facebook, according to the Washington Post.
Now, you talk about a convoluted thing, a microcosm.
If anybody cares, if anybody's curious, a microcosm of some of the genuine, screwy, dangerously wrong things happening in American culture today.
I've got everything that you could possibly want to know about this woman.
And how in the world she pulled this off?
It's not, it's not.
I tell you what, NAA LCP is not in the middle of a shining hour here, folks.
I mean, to be so easily scammed as they were.
So there's nobody with any glory in this.
And of course, Mrs. Clinton.
Mrs. Clinton goes out, reannounces her campaign, relaunches, because the first one nobody noticed what she was doing.
She goes to Roosevelt Island in Manhattan.
Sounds like a robot making this speech with the weird emphasis on weird words in every sense.
It just really did not sound human.
And I mean that.
It sounded robotic.
It sounded digital and electronic.
And the idea that Hillary Clinton represents the best.
Do you realize how many no matter where you look?
I see time dwindling here.
In the Democrat Party, everybody prominent in that party is a fraud of one thing or another.
I'll explain when we get back.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
I know exactly what's going to happen here.
Just after this first half hour, I know exactly what's going on.
What's going to happen is this.
Somewhere on cable news or on some blog, the comments that I have made in my opening half hour today are going to be positioned as extreme and insensitive and cold-hearted and all of that and not compassionate and showing a lack of understanding because I dared break from the orthodoxy of political correctness and conventional wisdom.
You see, you know, Orwell wrote about this.
The consensus opinion can be something that's literally insane.
A consensus opinion can be make it up, whatever you want to have a consensus opinion about.
Somebody comes along and via his own eyes looks at us.
This is absurd.
That's not real.
Here's reality.
The one person, courageous and gutless, courageous and gutsy to point out what is real will be branded insane by all the people who have adopted the conventional wisdom on whatever it is we're talking about, and this is how mass delusion takes place.
This is a fascinating piece I found on this at the Federalist, which I'm.
I'm gonna find a way to get into before the program ends today, because it's it explains if, if you're like me, you've been wondering how in the hell, In the last five to ten years, has everything been turned upside down in terms of morality, culture, normal, acceptability, and so forth?
It's all upside down.
In 10 years, was it brewing out there for 50 and then it exploded?
Well, this article that I came across attempts to explain it.
And one example I just gave you is a manifestation of how it works.
A consensus can form on anything.
And if the thing that consensus agrees with is literally wrong and insane, it doesn't matter.
If the consensus, like the drive-by media and the entertainment media and whoever all agree that something's okay and fine and normal, when it isn't, one or two people come along.
No, no, no, no.
That's not.
They are the oddballs, kooks, and weirdos.
And that's exactly what is happening.
This is how people who do see reality and who are not swept up in this conventional wisdom, this delusional conventional wisdom.
It's how they are marginalized and portrayed as the oddballs and kooks or well-wrote about.
It's a studied, practiced technique of statists or party people, people who want to dominate and control everybody else.
And the crazy thing about it is, is that all these people that are part of the conventional wisdom don't have any idea what's happening to them.
They have no idea that they're actually being controlled and taken over.
Their freedom is gone.
What they don't realize is they'd better conform or they're not free.
Freedom is defined as agreeing with what everybody demands you agree with.
And if you don't, that's when you're in trouble.
And that's where we are.
This is exactly where we are in our culture right now.
So I'm going to spend some time on this, getting into it as the program unfolds today.
But I have a full call that happened on June 3rd on this program.
Doesn't take long, goes by lickety split.
This program, not the Spokane NAACP, this program blew the lid on the fact that there are people out there who self-identify as black.
Let me grab a quick call.
Chill and 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, well, 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?
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, my small town is basically white.
This has 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 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.
That's a 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?
Facebook campaign?
I mean, how are you going to post your...
I haven't got that far yet.
If you want to use 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, that 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.
It'd be much easier for you if you say you knew you were gay when you were 10.
But, man, you're really bitten off a big one here now when you say you knew you were black at age 10 when you're a blonde-haired Caucasian.
Yeah, and also now I'm in a biracial marriage and my kids are biracial, so I don't know what to do.
What?
You're married to a white woman.
Married to a white woman.
You're Caucasian, but you're African American, because your kids are biracial.
You do have a problem.
So you see, we were first on this.
And that was just a random over-the-transom call that came in again on June 3rd from Steve in Chillicoffee, Missouri.
So, I mean, Rachel Dolezole's Rachel Dolezoll.
But we had Steve from Chillicoffey before Rachel Dullazzole even thought about making news.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
My name's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the most listened to radio talk show in America.
It's the eponymous Rush Limbaugh program at 800-282-2882.
The email address is illrushbo at EIBnet.com.
Clinton campaign denies access to Pool Reporter.
It's a politico story.
Hillary Clinton campaign denied access to the print pool reporter on Monday, reigniting reporters' long-standing concerns about the Clinton campaign's commitment to running an open and transparent campaign.
Who in the world thought it was ever going to be that?
What Dunderhead ever believed that it was going to be an open and transparent case?
We're talking about the Clintons here.
It's obvious what the pool reporter needs to do, make a donation to one of the many Clinton foundations.
Turns out there may be more of those than we've even heard of, folks.
David Martusco, the U.S. political editor for London's Daily Mail, reported showing up at the Hillary campaign's breakfast stop in New Hampshire only to be told that he would not be allowed to pool report the day's event.
For those of you in Rio Linda, this has nothing to do with that story in McKinney, Texas, the pool down there.
In journalism, when they let one reporter in to cover it for every reporter, it's called a pool.
One reporter reports and covers the news for everybody in the press party.
And the person the one reporter let in is called a pool reporter because he's reporting for the pool, i.e., the rest of the journalists not allowed in.
And the Clinton campaign didn't let the pool reporter in, which means they didn't let the press in.
If you don't let the pool reporter in, the print pool, then you're not letting anybody in.
On the print side, as it even says here, pool reporters are responsible for sending reports from the trail to the rest of the press corpse.
And it's obvious what reporters are going to have to do is pay.
That's how you get access to the Clintons.
They've made it abundantly clear.
Hell's bells, folks.
You see this from the Washington Free Beacon headline from June 7th.
This is split scene.
Clinton donated $100,000 to the New York Times group the same year the paper endorsed her.
I mean, it's incestuous.
I have, by the way, I have a technique.
I have an idea.
I have a suggestion for reporters and the media covering the Clintons.
There's a line.
There's a line that could be said after most everything Hillary pledges or claims or states in a campaign speech, a single line that could be used.
I'll demonstrate.
Hillary, in her campaign relaunch, reset, rewind speech yesterday, said that her candidacy was in the name of everyone who has ever been knocked down but refused to be knocked out.
Ambassador Stevens could not be reached for comment.
Let me give you another example.
Hillary said, you're also not going to see me shrink from a fight.
Ambassador Stevens could not be reached for comment.
If you'll give me the chance, I will wage and win four fights for you.
Ambassador Stevens could not be reached for comment.
We're talking about the presidency here.
We're talking about the next commander-in-chief.
She's out there making all of these claims, bravery, problem-solving, and so forth.
Meanwhile, one of her own ambassadors could not be reached for comment because Hillary didn't do any of those things to try to help her save him.
And now, by the looks, it looks like every federal employee has been stripped of every ounce of their privacy because of Obama's fight on their behalf with these Chinese, the Chinese hackers.
And you know what the danger of that is?
I mean, the Chinese are not going to run identity thefts.
Folks, I mean, I'd love to turn that into a lifelock commercial, but that's the ChiComs are not going to be assuming you're American Express running up charges.
They're going to find you and blackmail you.
They're going to find federal employees.
They're going to blackmail or recruit as spies.
That's what the reason they wanted all that information of federal employees is.
The ChiComs have more money than you can throw a sticker.
They don't need access to your Visa card or whatever.
That's not why they wanted that data.
They want to recruit spies.
They want to be able to blackmail people.
That's why they hacked in.
Let me grab a quick call here before we conclude our first barn storming hour.
It's Vanessa in Vernon, Connecticut.
Hi, Vanessa.
I'm glad you called.
It's great to have you with us.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
You said we are relentless in our pursuit of the youth.
We got it from you.
You're relentless in your pursuit of the truth.
And so what we've done is we've co-opted the nation by co-opting the youth.
And we owe a lot to you for that because you were our symbol of persistence and relentless pursuit.
And now what we've done is we've got every mind corrupted through our means that we've adopted from early on, according to your 35 undeniable truths of life and your relentless pursuit of the truth.
This is rich.
We've got you because we've got the youth, Mr. Limbaugh, and there's no turning this youth around.
Have you looked at them lately?
What you have led by the militant lesbian movement, and I am one of the ladies of the left.
You're familiar with the ladies of the left, the LOL group?
Ladies of the left, right.
We've brought success to you, and you are vanquished.
And we have your youth.
We've co-opted you.
You do not yet have the youth.
No, no, you might think that you do, but you do not have the youth in toto yet.
But really, am I supposed to be flattered here that you have used me as your model of relentlessness and tenaciousness and unstoppable courage?
You're a worthy adversary, and you have been for how many years now?
Well, I don't know.
We've learned from you.
Why does Christina Hoff Summers respect Camille Palia?
Camille Palia is a lesbian, is she not?
She is, yes.
Christine Hoff Summers has authored The War Against Boys, and she has nailed it, because that's how we have destroyed you.
We have destroyed the male youth of your country through things like the cuddle puddle.
Google it.
Cuddle puddle, Stuyvesant High School, New York magazine.
Sounds vaguely obscene, the cuddle puddle.
Well, you have a young lady who was a true journalist.
You know what true journalists are.
There aren't any anymore.
That's right.
And she took her pad and her camera and went to Stuyvesant High School, New York City, wrote the cover story on New York Magazine in which every teacher and every administrator sent every child to the cuddle puddle with a member of their own sex to disrobe and explore each other anatomically.
Can you hear me now?
Yeah, I hear you.
I've been hearing you for the get-go here.
Yes.
Well, that's how we got you.
And now what you have is a whole generation of people like me who are women trapped in men's bodies, and we go through the surgeries that are necessary.
And the hormonal treatments, right?
Sure.
So Bruce Jenner is nothing more than an individual who capitalized on it.
As you so rightly pointed out last week, you're not so sure it's not a publicity stunt.
Well, of course it is with him, but with me, I'm the genuine article.
Yeah, I can tell you.
I am a woman trapped in a man's body.
What is it?
This show is attracting all these people here, folks.
It's just incredible.
Okay, folks, fastest three hours in media.
First hour is gone.
It's over with.
Only two remaining.
And it's going to be jam-packed.
Never, ever going to get it all in today.
Stuff that I want to get to.
So just hang in there.
Be tough.
Be patient.
