You gotta be kidding me.
Hey, folks, get this.
The St. Louis Cardinals are under FBI investigation for hacking into the Houston Astros database.
Not kidding you.
The St. Louis Baseball Cardinals under FBI probe for hacking into the Houston Astros database.
Meanwhile, the ChICOMs hacked into every federal employee database.
And nobody this is so out of proportion.
What about Hillary Clinton's server?
What about who's been hacking into that?
Who has hacked into that?
Who knows everything that was on Hillary?
Who knows?
What hacker?
How many hackers know everything the Clintons have been doing?
Who's donated to them?
What's been promised to them?
It's all in those emails.
It has to be.
Now we're going after the St. Louis Cardinals for hacking into the Astros database.
Next thing you know, the FBI is going to be suing the third base coach for stealing signals.
This is this is No, don't misunderstand.
I'm just everything's out of proportion here.
Readings and welcome back.
Great to have you.
By the way, Rush Limbaugh at 800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program.
Don't bother with the number.
Don't bother memorizing it.
Don't bother calling.
It's that simple.
Yesterday on the radio, this is NPR Radio, public radio in New York City, the Brian Lara Show.
His guest was the co-founder of National Lampoon.
The author Henry Beard.
He's got a new book called Spinglish.
Oh, speaking of folks, speaking of that, we have posted a new video to Facebook.
Facebook.com slash Rush Revere.
Rush Revere Facebook page regarding the new Spanish language edition of Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims.
I mentioned to you yesterday, there was I didn't talk about it much.
I guess at the end of the program, there's a uh a big three-page, it's a printed out three-page story.
Where was it, the Daily Beast.
All about being upset that I have published my children's book in Spanish.
Oh yeah.
Three pages on how I'm a hypocrite.
You know why I'm a hypocrite?
Because I supposedly uh want i immigrants to to assimilate.
And I supposedly don't believe in everything being in Spanish.
I supposedly believe in everything being in English in this country.
And yet here I've now caved.
I've caved and I've published my book in Spanish, in Espanol.
And the thing the next thing the article said was that all of you in the audience are livid at me for my hypocrisy and caving.
And I haven't gotten one complaint letter.
I will now, a bunch of joke complaint emails, but I haven't gotten one.
In fact, it's been just the opposite.
It's been high praise for endeavoring to get the first book in the Rush Revere series published in Espanol.
Makes all the sense in the world, folks.
It was a great move.
It took us a lot of time to convince everybody to do this.
But as usual, I prevailed.
So we put the uh we've got a video uh that touts this at the Rush Revere Facebook page.
It's uh Facebook.com slash rush revere about the new Spanish language edition.
Anyway, this this big story was all about the fact that I, El Rushbo, am a hypocrite for doing that, and how you are angry at me was a daily beast.
So anyway, they've got this guy at the NPR station in New York City, Henry Beard, uh, talking about his new book, Spinglish.
The definitive dictionary of deliberately deceptive language.
And since I live rent-free in these people's heads.
Each spin phrase you define, you've taken from real life and you meticulously footnote.
this is like a dictionary.
It's an alphabetical order.
The very first phrase is abortion machine, said by Rush Limbaugh in 2013, as in Democrats are turning women into abortion machines.
Henry, you want to go any further on that one?
Rush is just a master of this kind of uh stuff.
He's he's more extreme than the more sensible Republican strategist like Frank Lunt, who would insist on calling uh what used to be the estate tax, the death tax.
Uh they're a little more controlled than Rush.
But certainly there's a lot of expressions to uh that uh tend to denigrate women.
That's just it's just part of the political process.
What denigrate women?
What did the Democrat Party not stand for abortion?
Is it not the holy sacrament of the Democrat Party and the American left?
The Democrat Party is devoted to abortion.
Come up with the clever language to illustrate the point.
Let's face it, folks, it made the guy's dictionary the number one item.
You know the crazy thing is, I don't even remember saying it.
I say so many memorable things, I utter so many profundities, not even I, and I'm blessed with a great memory, as you all know.
I have a better memory than most, a great memory.
And not even I can remember all of the wonderful, beautiful, profound, intelligent, pithy things that I have said, and I don't remember having said that.
Okay.
I've been threatening this, and here it is.
It's Rachel Dola's old time.
And to lead it off, I just found a story at Breitbart that is not about the Dole Azall story, but it ends up being a pretty interesting companion piece.
Headline What is the headline?
There is no headline.
What is the headline?
Screw the headline.
Here's how the story starts.
A newly published report says that some parenting choices and attitudes can hurt the success of black students in school.
No.
The Economic Policy Institute, also known as the EPI, is a left-leaning think tank, funded in part by unions.
After noting that their report does not describe all lower social class families, the authors look at social factors which depress student performance.
In its first key finding, the report focuses on the different parenting styles found in black and white households, and argues that these cultural differences help create an achievement gap not fixable by scrubles.
This is incredible.
The Economic Policy Institute is essentially saying that the black parroting style doesn't work It is responsible for the learning gap.
Because black learning is stunted even before they get to the schools.
The report states white adults spend thirty-six percent more time than black adults reading to young children and three times more time talking with and listening to them.
You want to tell Ben Carson.
This is his story, by the way.
Listen to this.
Toddlers of low-income mothers who read to them daily have better vocabulary and comprehension at twenty-four months.
Five-year-olds have poorer language and math skills.
If when they were two years old, their parents were less educationally supportive, engaging in less cognitive stimulation, being less sensitive to children's perspectives, and demonstrating less love, less respect, and less admiration toward their kids when doing activities like puzzles.
You know what this argues against daycare?
It argues against absentee parents.
It argues against nannies actually raising the kids.
What this article ends up saying is that we need parents actively engaged in the education of their children from 24 months forward, and we need books.
Here's another poll quote.
White homes had 2.5 times as many books as black homes.
But the most surprising finding is that the top quintile of black homes reported having fewer books than the bottom quintile of white homes.
Now, a quintile, for those of you in real, this is gonna be tough to explain.
Let me snurdley, do you know what a quintile is?
A fifth exactly right.
Instead of designing things and dividing things up in quarters, you divide them up in fifths.
So you get the bottom 20, then the next 20 would be total of 40, and then the next 20, total of 60.
The next 20, total to 80, and the top quintile, also 20% would be the top.
So you take a group of things, people, apples, oranges, and you divide them into fifths.
And in this story, White Homes had two and a half times as many books as black homes, but the most surprising finding is the top quintile of black homes, the top 20, reported having fewer books than the bottom quintile of White Homes.
A newly published report says that some parenting choices and attitudes can hurt the success of black students in school.
It's a left-leaning think tank funded in part by unions called the Economic Policy Institute.
So instead of encouraging a parenting style that actually has been proven to work, you know, we now have to all embrace a style that does not work because if we don't do it, we're racists.
And a left-wing think tank has proven it again.
It's very simple.
Read to your kids and talk to them and introduce them to books.
Get them curious about learning as parents early on.
And you have done them a huge great favor.
And if you know Benjamin Carson's story, that's exactly what his mother did with him.
This whole report could be Ben Carson and got a Carson's life story.
So that's that's the prelude to today's insane roundup of Rachel Dolazal revelations.
And I've got I've got collections of news here from all kinds of uh websites.
Uh website called Super Mexican.
You ever heard of that one, snurdly?
S-O-O-P-E-R Super Mexican.
There is video, apparently, of Rachel Dolazole saying the N-word in a series of videos of Rachel Dolazal talking about her experience as a black woman.
She says the N-word.
She has plagiarized a famous painting.
People online are drawing attention to the similarities between one of her paintings, The Shape of Our Kind, and the Slave Ship, an iconic work of art painted by JMW Turner in 1840.
She once claimed that her black father was beaten by a cop.
This is from the UK Daily Mail, now the worldwide Daily Mail, by the way.
The interview from earlier this year, Dolezal details her father's exodus from the Deep South after he assaulted a cop.
My dad's exodus, the great migration to the north from the deep south, where they left on the midnight train because a white officer harassed and threatened to, was about ready to beat his dad with a billy club.
He whipped around, he actually slapped the officer to his knees.
They got out of town on the midnight train because there's a black family in a deep south.
If you had any kind of a negative altercation with a white cop where you stood up for yourself, it was going to go badly for you.
Her father's not black.
Her mother's not black.
Her mother and father have been on television.
For all I think they I think they're actually Christian missionaries, if you want to know the it, you know, it's clear.
I don't think there's any doubt about what's happened here.
Well, there may be some doubt.
But I think it's a pretty safe bet what happened here to this woman.
Gotta take a break right now.
We'll come back and get to these promised sound bites.
They're coming up.
Don't go away.
Okay, Rachel Dolazal this morning on the Today Show, Matt Wower, interviewed her and just hit her point blank.
Are you an and this remember this woman's a Caucasian?
There's no question about it, there's no doubt about it.
It's it's not debatable, but yet he asks her, are you an African American woman?
Identify as black.
Her father went on to say she's a very talented woman doing work she believes in.
Why can't she do that as a Caucasian woman, which is what she is?
I really don't see why they're in such a rush to whitewash some of the work that I have done and who I am and how I've identified.
And this goes back to a very early age with my self-identification with the black experience as a very young child.
When did it start?
I would say uh about five years old.
I was drawing self-portraits with the brown crayon instead of the Peach Cram and you know, black curly hair, and you know, yeah, that was how I was portraying myself.
You know, folks, when I was five, when I was seven, I thought that I was little Joe Cartwright on Bonanza.
And I ran around telling everybody I was little Joe Cartwright, and they just smiled.
And they thought it was cute.
How I was so into that show and pretending to be.
But one time, never forget this.
Some teacher somewhere, this is at uh grade school, apparently were very worried, as I was I was in a swing set out there at recess.
Teacher came out.
Hi, how are you today?
Oh, I'm fine.
So I hear that uh you think you're little Joe Cartwright on banana.
Yeah, yeah.
I am, I'm little Joe Cartwright.
So they called my mom and dad.
You know, your son thinks he's little Joe on uh bananas.
Oh, yeah, we know.
It's just it's it just it it likes the show, that's all.
And that was it.
I mean, what five-year-old doesn't identify as something.
And now it's courageous and it's brave and it's something that we should pay as five years old.
I knew I was black.
Not African American, but you can't, she will reject if you tell her she's African.
No, no, no, no, no.
I identify as black.
Matt Wower then said, Look, you've changed your appearance.
Your complexion appears darker than it did in the photos of you as a young lady.
Have you done something to darken your complexion?
I certainly don't stay out of the sun, you know.
And um I also don't, as as some of the critics have said, put on blackface as a performance.
I have a huge issue with blackface.
This is not some free birth of a nation uh mockery blackface performance.
This is on a very real connected level.
Um how I've actually had to go there with the experience, not just a visible representation, but with the experience.
Okay, we all are following this now.
You didn't understand that at all.
You mean that didn't make any sense to you?
You see, that's how mean spirited you are.
That didn't make sense to you.
That means you are intolerant.
You're supposed to take what she said there and talk about how brave and courageous it is for her to admit this.
Look, this is a woman who for some reason, I think it's obvious, thought there was something attractive about being a minority and a victim.
It's that simple.
Here is Kim in Hartford, Connecticut.
Great to have you.
I'm glad you waited, Kim.
Hi.
Thanks Rush for letting me on.
You bet.
Um, I I'm a psychiatric nurse, and I wanted to to say I loved your show yesterday.
It was one of the most important shows you've ever had when you talked about how the left, the radical forces were undermining America's unity and um how the psychosocial factors are being employed.
Um the left is altering Reality.
And they're creating fertile fallacies at the same time.
And a fertile a fallacy is an untruth.
And a fertile one is one that pays off.
And how did they do this?
How did they do this altering of reality?
Well, they do it with M M N mass media manipulation.
Yeah, but you know, how do they do that?
I mean, it because what one of the central things I talked about yesterday, mass delusion.
It was it was from a uh website called the Federalist.
And it was they described as mass delusion uh combined with the propaganda.
Mass delusion, the result of the effort, propaganda, one of the techniques.
But it it it mentioned things like that, you create a consensus of something that's totally absurd.
You get people believing something totally absurd, however that's done, and then the people with common sense will come along and because no, no, no, that's totally wrong.
They end up being the new cooks and weirdos.
They are the ones society thinks is cockeyed and weird.
Uh and and uh you you end up with a majority of people believing absolute BS on issue after issue after issue.
Well, it's it's done in many ways.
First of all, you have to have people with some authority.
Um you have to uh have them in the right place at the right time, and they have to uh repeat constantly.
And then there's other people who would come in.
And it's a group pressure technique, it's actually uh an old Czech communist technique.
Right.
Where they put pressure, more and more people believe it, and it starts starts the ball rolling.
Now, a lot of this in the news, uh all the news agencies now, all the news outlets like Fox and MSNBC, they all get their information from the same sources Reuters, AT, ASP, Christian Science Monitor.
So that's why I say you have to have the right people at the right place.
So they start it, it goes out there, people add to it, people with some authority, it works.
People don't check things out like they used to.
Well, that's that's true, but there's something else that's part of the everything you mentioned, you mentioned AP Reuters, Christian Science Monitor, it doesn't matter.
Every agent, every news agency basically is identical.
Now they may not report stories in the same order, and they may not report stories in the same day, but they all report the same thing about every story.
You can be guaranteed a story on the presidential campaign is gonna lampoon the Republican candidate in every one of those news agencies.
Doesn't matter who, it doesn't matter who the candidates are, it doesn't matter the campaign.
You know that's gonna happen.
The Washington Post is gonna do it, the New York Times is gonna do it, the three networks are gonna do it, CNN's gonna do it, MSNBC is gonna do it, all the newspapers are gonna do it for the vast well vast majority of them.
There's some exceptions.
Uh and that sameness ends up being its own authority.
If everywhere you look in the media tells you the same thing, you don't have to research.
I mean, why would you research it?
If you look at the New York Times, it says X. If you look at the Washington Post, it says the same thing, and if you turn on any television newscast, it's the same thing you already heard.
That's that's research.
And that's one of the ways it's done.
Authority ends up being imputed simply because of volume.
I mean, all of these different news organizations reporting the exact same thing.
Now you have an organization that comes along that does not follow the trend, and they're called an outlier.
Or they are referred to as alternative or or some such thing.
It's uh you know, folks, maybe make a brief departure to try and illustrate a point.
Last week, my vacacione was a guy golf trip.
But on Monday of last week, I didn't play with the guys.
They flew off to Honolulu while I stayed on the big island.
They played in a tournament.
I stayed home.
You know why?
Because last Monday was WWDC, the worldwide developer conference for Apple.
Since I was in Hawaii, I didn't have to wait till one o'clock.
It started at 7 a.m.
I had to find A way to make sure I was up because it's a guy golf trip.
Nobody's up at 7 a.m. except the guys that still haven't made the time zone adjustment.
That's never a problem for me.
So I got up and I'm watching a WWDC, which is where Apple lays out for developers, the people at Write Apps what's new this fall in the iPhone software and the Mac software and the watch software and some of the goodies coming and all that.
And then they release beta versions of each platform at the end of the day for the iPhone, for the iPad, that's by the way, where big, big changes are coming.
Now stick with me on this for a second, because it relates to what we're talking about.
But the iPhones are going to have the most noticeable changes.
This the iOS 9 and what they're calling OS 10 El Capitan.
I got some new features, but they're largely maintenance.
They're tightening and making better, getting rid of some of the bugs that currently exist and streamline everything.
It's going to be good.
It's all good.
Anyway, there's a new app coming.
Apple has a new app coming on their iOS devices, the iPhone and the iPad.
And it's called news.
You ever heard of the app Flipboard?
You never have.
Well, Flipboard is a news app.
And there are Zune and any number of them.
And uh they create magazine-like looking news stories based on the usual suspects.
ABC, NBC, CBS, the tech blogs, and so it's just a different way of getting your news in one place.
Well, Apple announced they're going to do their own news app.
Now wait, wait a second.
When I saw this, I said they need to hire Matt Drudge because their news app is an aggregator.
Flipboard is an aggregator.
It's one place you go to read the latest from the Washington Post, the New York Times.
You can select the sources that you want at Flipboard or Zoom or any of these other apps, I think it's somebody there's two or three of them.
Apple is going to do their own.
Now, yesterday, Apple posted job openings.
They are actually going to hire human beings to put together this news app every day.
24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365.
They have posted ads for journalists.
And the requirements are certain degrees, certain level of degree education from accredited J schools.
It's just going to be the New York Times all over again.
It's going to be pick your poison.
It's going to be left-wing news.
It's going to be standard ordinary mainstream, whatever you want to call it, drive-by media, that's going to be curated by human beings, put together by human beings.
And they're going to hire journalists, which means Apple's culture is liberal too, so you know what's going to be.
And it's it's the app doesn't cost anything.
It's part of the operating system.
It's baked in.
You don't have to use it if you don't want to.
It's optional.
But what set separates it up from all the others, all the others are put together by algorithm.
Flipboard, which is what this is being compared to more than anything else, uses algorithm.
And they got people working there, but it's algorithms and code that produce the content that you select from the sources you select.
Apple is going to have real people putting this together.
Now, honestly, when I when I read about this last Monday, before I knew they were going to hire human beings, I said, you know, what is what is Apple?
Apple does everything differently.
Apple stands out.
What is the most successful news website in America by far?
It's the Drudge Report.
The Drudge Report has more page views.
The Drudge Report has more clicks.
The Drudge Report has more people looking at it every day than any other single website.
Bigger than the New York Times, bigger than the Washington Post.
In fact, all of these News websites are constantly pitching stories to Drudge, hoping and praying he will link to one of their stories because Drudge is the primary driver of traffic to these other news agency websites.
But if you look at the Drudge page, it's everything.
It's not left wing, it's not right wing, but it's clearly different.
There's nothing else like it.
And isn't it fascinating that after 27 years, the people in journalism, nobody has been able to create a competitor website that comes anywhere close.
And yet what is it?
It's just a guy scouring as much as he can on the web and choosing to link to stories that interest him.
It's essentially what it is.
And I was thinking when I when I heard about Apple's news app, the Drudge Report, they ought to buy the Drudge Report and bring Drudge in and make him one of their employees.
It'd be the most popular, the most.
It would just kill.
It would be different.
And they're not going to do it.
It's it's it's gonna end up, I mean, they can highly tout this all they want, but it's gonna be a reflection of the people they hire, and they're gonna hire the same people at CNN would hire, or the New York Times would hire.
Um, they're trying to do something different, like the new music app, they're trying to hire human beings as DJs and curators and playlists and so forth to separate themselves from these other streaming music services that do it all by machine, by algorithm.
Uh, and they're trying to do it differently in music, and they're hiring people that are unlikely, you know, like a DJ from the BBC, whose expertise is finding new artists and giving them airtime.
Uh, and they're high and they're touting this big time.
So this this news app, it's just using this to make a point that it's all the same everywhere you go.
It's identical.
And that is what gives it authority.
That no matter where you go, a story on Hillary Clinton's gonna be the same thing.
Hillary's great, the Republicans criticizing her or screwballs, extremists, oddballs, weirdos, or Trump is a clown, you name it.
It's gonna be the same no matter where you go.
But Apple does things differently.
And I've the Drudge page, if they want a news app that nobody else has got, that's gonna get clicks and people are gonna put the I mean, it would, it's a it's just waiting to have, and they won't even think of it.
But there's a reason the Drudge Report dwarfs everything.
Some people think it's, well, you know, Russia say the Drudge conservative, but I mean it clearly no.
You find a mixture of everything.
The oddball, the cookie, the weird.
Uh, but I mean, billions of page views.
It's just it's it's stunning.
And and Drudge didn't come up as a journalist.
He didn't graduate, but he's an expert J School graduate, and yet he's running rings around all these professionals and experts.
I know, I know I've got to take it.
No, I'm sorry I didn't get to the media sound bites on Dolezol, but I will to Don Lemon and Whoopi Goldberger Priceless.
I'm sorry I didn't get to him, it ticks me off.
My own discipline fell short.
And I got sidetracked by other stuff.
Oh, Don Don Don Lemon welcoming Rachel to the blackfold and whoopee goldberg.
Hey, if she wants to be black, that's fine with me.
The woman's insane.
She's been driven insane.
We're out of time for today, but that doesn't mean anything.
You know why?
Because there's always tomorrow.
And we'll be back in 21 hours before you know it.
Revd and ready.
Look forward to it.
