Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Well, we knew it was going to happen.
Everything we knew was going to happen.
Everything we predicted that was going to happen is happening with the Pope.
And everything we predicted is going to happen with uh with Trump is happening.
There's some things we didn't predict about Rachel Dolazal, because who could?
And they are happening too.
What an interval.
What a wonderful interval.
This country needs a break from the absolute sadness, depression, and downward spiral just for some laughs, and we're all getting it.
Except there's a bunch of people out there trying to put you on a guilt trip if you're laughing at anything besides Trump.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh already Wednesday here on the fastest week in media, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
And the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
So where do you want to start for?
You want to start with Trump?
Do you want to start with Rachel Dolazol?
Do you want to start with the Pope?
I guess we can start with Jeb Bush.
Do you see what Jeb Bush did?
For crying out loud, can nobody take this seriously?
Jeb Bush, there he is last night.
It's a Jimmy Fallon.
Slow jamming the news.
Serious Republican presidential candidates out there on the tonight show, slow jamming the news.
Of course, that is actually being touted.
That's being praised because Jeb's out there showing that he was human.
And it's uh and it's cool.
We didn't get to Jeb's announcement yesterday because other things.
Well, frankly, they were just a little bit bigger, a little bit larger, and it's early.
And folks, I want to tell you something uh up front, just just so you know, I don't want you sitting out there having to ask the radio questions.
The presidential race is interesting to me.
Don't think otherwise, but it's so early that we we there's nothing really that's happening right now is going to matter much to the top-tier candidates, the top-tier candidates are who they are, and unless they do something just totally bad, uh they're gonna remain top-tier candidates.
Now we chronicle all this, and if anything major happens during all that, but right now, discussing every poll and and discussing everything every one of these candidates says, to me, it's just a little bit premature.
I just want to be up front and honest with you.
I I'm not a thousand percent into this yet, and I know some people are.
Uh I have cable news media is totally absorbed with it, for example.
There are other things out there that to me are more important right now or hold more interest for me, and I always on this program have focused on the things that interest me.
I have not I have not made it an effort to talk about things I think you want to hear about.
Um that that would be for me a recipe disaster because there are too many of you for me to know what you all want to do.
Trying to you know take an approach here that satisfies everybody was guaranteed to satisfy very few.
So I'm gonna continue with you know following my instincts.
And if something happens of major important substance in the presidential race, and of course, and I mean the Republican primary will get into it, have no fear.
Uh, and even though I may not spend a whole lot of time on it day to day right now, never doubt that I'm aware of.
If you want to call about it, I mean feel free.
Have at it.
Particularly on Friday.
Uh but the thing that being up front here with you, the thing that that really distresses me more than anything distresses, interests, what have you, is what's happening to our culture.
Is what's happening to our society.
We're going insane, folks.
We're literally being swept up by the insane and being told we have to join them in their insanity.
And I'm not trying to sound funny.
And I think it's a terribly serious thing, but it contains some of the greatest comedy and humor at the same time.
And so that is what fascinates me.
The presidential race is gonna shake out, and it's gonna end up being what it is in due course.
It's it's what 12, 13 Republican candidates now, if you uh if you throw Trump in there.
Rachel Dolezole is a microcosm of some things that really deeply trouble me about society, culture, where it's heading.
Do you realize we live in a time now where there is no objective truth?
And do you know how damaging that is?
Do you know how precariously balanced a culture is when there is no objective truth?
When there are no objective facts, when everything is up for dispute, when things that are undeniably fact are not permitted to be.
We have a problem.
We are not like Rachel Dolazol.
Do you know why she's doing what she's doing?
I mean, there are many reasons, and I've predicted many of them, and the Rachel Dolezal stack today is a series of I told you so's.
Here, look at this.
This is the top story I have on the Rachel Dolazal stack.
I sometimes don't want to be white either.
It is a piece in the Huffing and Puffington Post by somebody named Allie Michael.
I sometimes don't want to be white either.
This woman, Rachel Dolezole.
There's something wrong here, folks.
Seriously, seriously wrong, and yet on the left, this is being treated with sincerity and seriousness and gravity as though it really matters, as though it's cutting edge stuff, as though it is a great indicator of some unrevealed truths.
It's none of that.
What it is, if we can stop laughing about it for a moment, is really, and I don't want to sound all Miss America candidate-ish here, but it's dangerously sad.
I sometimes don't want to be white either.
Did you hear on television a couple of nights ago, maybe it was last night, a renowned college professor and well-known race-baiting civil rights activist by the name of Michael Eric Dyson said Rachel Dolezal is more genuinely black than Clarence Thomas is.
And it just so happens, guess what?
HBO put out another press release today, They are preparing a movie called Anita.
It's about Anita Hill and the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination hearings in 1991.
And the reason they're doing it is because a whole generation of millennials does not know the story, do not know the story, and the left is going to make sure that their version of that story gets told in the popular culture.
So you take a very popular current-day actress, Carrie Washington, who stars in Scandal, you make her Anita Hill, and the guy playing Clarence Thomas is Wendell Pierce.
And Wendell Pierce is a great actor.
He was in the wire.
He's been on Ray Donovan.
Um is a great, I mean, I don't know him, but he's one of these guys that you watch and you think, I'd like to know this guy.
This is a cool guy, Wendell Pierce.
He deployed Clarence Thomas, a little overweight.
Naturally, Clarence Thomas is not overweight.
Clarence Thomas is not pudgy.
Clarence Thomas is like, yeah, maybe he's not, he's not overweight, but Wendell Pierce is.
At least.
Well, he was.
He was in the wire, he was in um Ray Donovan's last summer, so.
But that's okay, that's not a criticism.
I'm just saying here we have our culture is literally, our society literally being lied to day in and day out.
And without any objective truth, and anybody that has objective truth is destroyed.
The left make sure that they target anybody who is able to see through this fog, this intricately woven web of deceit and expose it, that person is targeted for destruction, personal and career Destruction.
And I'm sorry, I don't hear any of the presidential candidates talking about this.
And I think it's important.
Because we're talking about people who vote.
And we're either going to pander to this new expanding movement of normalizing insanity, or we're going to stand up to it.
And I don't see too many people who want to be elected standing up to it.
I see everybody engaged one degree or another.
I'm not trying to lump everybody into this, but for the vast majority of candidates, left and right, Republican and Democrat, they're pandering to this.
Because the belief is, well, you know, I that's what the people think, and I need to vote to those people, and I gotta find a way to relate to those people, and so I will set aside the fact that I know this is sick and obscene, and I will act like it's okay with me, because I want to appear cool and hip, and I think that's a problem.
And so those are the things that have me focused.
And it's not new, by the way.
This cultural rot, this cultural deterioration has been something that's troubled me for a while.
And the seemingly, I mean, it's just oppressive.
They the left never stopped.
The Pope to do this encyclical on the global warming.
This is disastrous.
Folks, it is absolutely disastrous, and it's shockingly painful.
It's disturbing to me.
What is what is happening here?
The Pope, you know, we're basically saying.
The Pope is saying we have to give and give and give, the rich, with the give and give and give until we're all poor.
That's the moral way to attack climate change.
We have to keep giving and giving, and we don't give enough, and we need to give and give and give.
And what have I always said about the left?
The left never seeks to change cultures by elevating those at the bottom, but rather taking those at the top, punishing them, taking away from it, lowering them.
So that everybody is living equally in misery.
That's their objective, so that as many people as possible are dependent on them for whatever they have in life.
That's undeniable.
That is objective truth.
That is what the American left and its American counterpart, the Democrat Party, is all about.
So here comes the Pope with this encyclical, suggesting that the problem is that rich countries are not giving enough to the poor, and we need to give more and keep giving and keep giving until our rich are no longer rich.
Can I give you some objective truth about global warming?
You know who's hurt most by it?
The poor.
And you know who hurts them?
Rich environmentalists.
Take your average poor country in Africa, and let's say in this poor country they discover some oil reserves or natural gas reserves or some other component of modern-day energy production that could enrich the country and the people who live there.
The first people going in to stop them are your modern-day algors.
Your modern day environmentalist wackos who want everybody to roll their lifestyles back because progress to them is the root of all this evil.
If a country in Africa has the ability to enrich itself by exporting newly discovered oil or some other fossil fuel, the first people in there denying them the chance to do it are the very environmentalist wackos that everybody thinks are wonderful and compassionate, trying to save the planet.
The people keeping poor people poor are the Democrats, are the American left, socialists, whatever you call them, Marxists.
It is us, it is people like us, it is conservatives who want people elevated from poverty, who have ideas on how to do it and make it last and make it genuine, that do not involve dependency.
We are called heartless, cold-hearted, mean-spirited, and cruel.
We are the epitome of compassion.
The so-called friends of the poor are the ones keeping them poor.
The so-called friends of Africa are the ones making Africa remain a third world country or nation or continent.
Everything's backwards.
Everything's 180 degrees out of phase.
Everything is upside down, and we are supposed to be swept into it now and join everybody in what I will good naturedly refer to as their insanity.
I sometimes don't want to be white either.
Where does this come from?
This is irrational.
It can make no sensible.
Well, there is no sensible explanation.
Well, that's not true.
There is a sensible explanation, but there's no rationality to this.
This is utter irrationality.
Rachel Dolazole is not to be honored.
She is not to be rewarded, awarded.
She is one of the most visible human beings worthy of sympathy and assistance.
That's come along all week.
Yet she's being lionized.
By many, not everybody.
Some people are dealing with this in a truthful and sensible way.
But the American left.
Why she's she's more black than Clarence Thomas.
It's absurd.
But you say that to some average low information voter?
Yeah, man, yeah, that's right.
They don't even know what they're agreeing with.
The end result, though, is that yet another Republican has been discredited and destroyed in the feeble minds of the low information voter.
So here we have Allie Michael, who wants, who says and writes, I sometimes don't want to be white either.
Rachel Dolezal is a fascinating case study, says here, in white racial identity development.
She's stuck in the immersion immersion stage in which white people having learned extensively about the realities of racism and the ugly history of white supremacy in the U.S. That's all you need to know right there.
Where has this woman been taught about the ugly history of white supremacy?
This woman has had guilt ladled on her from the first moment she was able to understand the English language.
And she went off to kindergarten and there was more of it.
Then she gets to grade school and there's more of it.
Then she gets to middle school and they really pounded in high school, and if she's got to college, which she obviously did, they have by the time she gets to college, she's totally convinced the worst thing in the world to be is a white person because of all of the evil things white people have done in this country since its founding.
Guilt tripped like you can't believe.
It's all happening in the public school education city, university, academy.
It's happening in the media.
I sometimes don't want to be white either.
Meanwhile, on the other side of this, there are some African Americans that are not happy.
Some don't care, like Whoopi Goldberg, hey, if Rachel Dillos all fine with me.
Others are not happy.
And there's a reason why African American civil rights activist are not happy.
I'll explain.
I gotta take a break here, but we'll be back.
Ha!
How are you?
Welcome back.
Great to have you.
By the way, the authoress.
The infobabe that wrote this piece into Huffing and Puffington Post, Ollie Michael, she's actually wait for it.
She is a professor.
Did you know that?
She's an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania.
And in this whole piece, she openly admits white people should feel guilty.
But she says we can't run away from our guilt by pretending to be black.
We have to own up to it.
She says we need a new white identity so that it can take responsibility for all the problems white people have caused throughout history.
I'm not kidding, it's all in this piece.
And she's teaching students at the University of Pennsylvania.
And she was taught by some corrupted polluted mind, or a series of them.
From the bottom of her article, we have this.
When we recognize in our whiteness and own our whiteness, we can account for our own portion, our one billionth of responsibility for what white people have done throughout history.
We can work with other white people to begin to challenge bias, ignorance, and color blindness.
We can use our privilege to confront the sources of that unfair.
So it's white privilege, unfair, unilegitimate majority oppressors.
You know, given it's amazing that there's only one Rachel Dolezole out there.
There ought to be a whole slew of them so guilty to be white that they're identifying as black.
Anyway.
Anyway.
Hang in there.
Just getting started.
Yes, sir, Rebob, welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Libball, the EIB network.
Yes, sir.
You're behind a golden EIB microphone.
Let me just read you a little bit more from this piece by Allie Michael, instructor at the University of Pennsylvania.
I definitely experienced this, she says.
There was a time in my twenties when everything I learned about the history of racism made me hate myself.
My whiteness.
I hated my whiteness.
I hated my ancestors and my descendants.
I remember deciding that I couldn't have biological children because I didn't want to propagate my privilege biologically.
Folks, this is insanity.
If it's not insanity, this is uber irrationality.
And it passes now for enlightened thought, elite thought at a major American university in a mainstream American website, the Huffing and Puffington Post.
This is this is this is it's ludicrous.
But it is the result of a she admits it here.
I mean, she was taught this.
She didn't independently think all of this stuff.
This was pummeled into her from the earliest moments of her life that she could remember.
Listen to this again.
There was a time in my twenties when everything I learned about the history of racism made me hate myself.
Hate my whiteness, hate my ancestors, and my descendants.
I remember deciding that I couldn't have biological children because I didn't want to propagate my privilege biologically.
If I was going to pass on my privilege, I wanted to pass it on to someone who doesn't have racial privilege.
I planned to adopt.
I disliked my whiteness, but I disliked the whiteness of other white people more.
I felt like the way to really end racism was to feel guilty for it and to make other white people feel guilty for it too.
And then like Dolezal, I wanted to take on Africanness.
Living in South Africa during my junior year abroad, I lived with a black family.
I wore my hair in head wraps.
I shaved my head.
I did not want to be white.
But if I had to be, I wanted to be white in a way that was different from other white people I knew.
I wanted to be special, different white person, the one and only.
How very white of me.
So you see, even hating your whiteness is a typical white privilege.
And I saw CNN has some confused person that they put on as an official comic.
I can't think of her name.
I probably wouldn't mention her name if I knew what it was.
Because it's not about individual people here.
This is a whole class, a whole group of people that has had their minds corrupted, polluted, and practically wrecked.
With all of this guilt and all of this hatred that has literally turned people into the mo- that this walking irrational automaton.
It's a huge problem, folks.
It is not fringe.
Twenty-five years ago, these stories surfaced, and this is fringe, a bunch of weirdos, cockeyed, whatever, but it's mainstream now.
As watching any newscast will confirm.
People like this are celebrated, they're held up, they're put on pedestals.
They're great teachers, we are told.
They're not marginalized and laughed at and felt sorry for, which is what they need to be.
This is this has become mainstream stuff.
And it's the product of leftism, Democrat Party, liberals, you name it, owning the education.
And let's throw in movies and TV.
If this woman admits that everything she encountered reinforced all the white privilege.
Anyway, so I'm watching this confused figure on CNN yesterday, who is livid over what's happened at Dolazole.
Or the correct way to say it, she is livid at Dolazole.
This woman who doesn't look any blacker than the Dolodolz Dolazol, but apparently is just livid that Dolazol is trying to pull this off to her as nothing but a big scam.
And it is, in her words, this is the epitome of evil white privilege.
So to a CNN info, a commentator, an analyst, not an anchorette.
Dolazol is selfish and absorbed and is using white privilege to a maximum extreme because she's not African American, she's not black, and to go out and be able to claim she's black and have everybody accept it, that's just not fair.
That is white privilege, according to this CNN person.
And yet here we have the professor at the University of Pennsylvania saying we need to use this white privilege, which has resulted in racism bigotry and all the other horrible things that white people have done.
We need to use this white privilege to get rid of our whiteness, to redefine it, to become the new white, whatever it is that these people come up with.
It isn't sane.
It is not normal.
I don't care what anybody says, I know I'm going to be skewered for this, I'm going to be intolerant, but tolerance does not mean sitting idly by and smiling while your culture is destroyed.
I don't have children, but I know people that do, obviously, and I can't imagine what it must feel like to have kids growing up into this cesspool.
Send them out to the education system and it's a roll of the dice crab shoot.
Now, on the other side of this, when you go to the civil rights activists, the African American, the black civil rights activists, you know what they don't like about you would think they'd welcome Dolazol.
You would think to be open-arms, hey babe, great to have you here.
We don't care that you scammed us at the NAALCP office in Spokane, which she did.
How do you figure that happened, by the way?
How in the world do you figure that happened?
Are those people that easily scammable?
Anyway, you know why they're mad?
And this is quite telling.
They're mad because their whole business is racial oppression.
The business of the civil rights movement today is to convince as many people as possible that it's the worst thing in the world to be black in America.
I mean, there's nothing worse that could happen to you than to be born black in America.
That's the mission of the modern-day civil rights movement.
And that's why they talk about all the black males incarcerated in prison and what happens to hands up, don't shoot in Ferguson and in Baltimore.
That's what life for blacks in America Is because of white people.
And so their whole mission is to is to convince people that there hasn't been any progress in racial relations.
None to speak of.
In fact, it's gotten worse.
It's horrible.
It's almost insufferable out there.
And it's just, it's just so oppressive.
Here comes a perfectly white female who wants to be black.
That throws the whole oppression movement into a tailspin.
Because if the worst thing can happen to you is to be born black in America, then why does this woman want to join the club?
That's why they're upset about it.
UK Daily Mail.
By the way, they're not the UK Daily Mail now.
They're just the Daily Mail.
They've got offices everywhere.
They're, by the way, the readership of this publication, and we tout it all the time, is skyrocketing because they are not part of the drive-by media plug-and-play bunch.
I mean, you can't predict what they're gonna do, like you can predict how ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, on and on and on, are gonna treat every news story, Daily Mail stuff that those networks and agency don't do, which is why we quote them all the time.
And they went out there and they did a genealogoce of uh Rachel Dolazole.
And what they found is they went all the way back to 1671.
Exclusive investigation of Rachel Dolazol's roots reveals she has no black relatives dating back to 1671.
Not one ounce of black blood.
No s no slave blood, no black blood, zilch zero nada.
Her ancestors came to America from Europe.
They have absolutely no bloodlines linking them to slaves or to Africa.
She has no genealogical claim whatsoever that she is black.
Going back for the last four hundred years.
And yet we're dealing with what we're dealing with.
We're getting what we're getting.
On the one hand, white people so burdened with guilt that's been ladled on them by the education system and by the media, probably by some of their parents, so guilty, so just feeling so bad.
They've been so mean, they have not done one thing to an African American.
They have not discriminated properly, they've not been mean, they've not done one thing, and they're running around acting like they've been caught as slave owners.
And they're acting guilty and sad.
Oh my God, they can't live with themselves.
It's not rational.
But it is, you see, because in our current climate, these are the people being celebrated as the ones who really feel and who really are in touch.
Really sensitive, the ones we should listen to.
Over here, the civil rights community is all out of whack because their mission is to tell everybody the worst thing can happen to you is to be born black in America, and here comes some white baby who wants to be black, it just doesn't work.
And we haven't even gotten to Trump yet.
You know, you you look at the conservative media, what they're doing to Trump, if the conservative media would hit a Demer, would hit Hillary with one-tenth of what they're hitting Trump with.
It might matter.
It's incredible.
Hillary Clinton gets more respect than Trump gets from the conservative media.
Now, look, I understand some of it.
Crowdhammers out there, I mean, uh Trump's out there calling Krauthammer and George Will losers.
And I don't know what they're talking about.
I've never been right about anything.
It's all a good show.
Anyway, I gotta take a break here, folks, again, because the constraints of the programming format say so, but we'll be back.
Still got a lot to do, don't go anywhere.
So I checked the email during the break.
Hey Rush, why is Rachel Dolo's all such news?
It's actually kind of a good question.
Now, the one aspect of this that is news is here's a woman that scammed a double NAA LCP chapter for how many years in the smoke can?
Okay, that's news.
A white woman scans a bunch of NAA LCP types to convince them she's black.
But beyond that, why is this news?
Because it allows the left and the media to continue to promulgate the this woman's justified doing what she's doing because be white is so bad.
We white people should feel guilty.
What she's doing is reasonable, and they're gonna trotten out people to justify and explain it like this huffing and puffing and post article by the University of Pennsylvania professor.
So that's why she continues to be news.
It wasn't that long ago that this story would strictly be about the scam at the NAA LCP office, and the person that did it would be lynched.
Right?
Not that long ago, the person who scammed a wonderful, caring and focused NAA LCP office anywhere would be destroyed.
Today she celebrated.
And I'm not talking about the old days of 30, 40, 50.
I'm talking about five years ago or less.
Whoever pulled this off Jackson and Sharpton would be out there demanding who knows what happened to this person.
And then be demanding more money and funding and what have you to make up for the transgression.
And they'd be blaming white culture for allowing this to happen.
That would have been a whole story.
But look at what it is now.
The woman's a hero to a lot of people.
The Civil Rights Coalition is not all of them are unhappy about it.
The ones who are are for the reason I told you.
Here, by the way, Rachel Dolezal uh once accused there's a sex tape.
Did you know I told Snerdley this?
He didn't even know this.
Daily Mail has an exclusive.
Rachel Dolezal was in a sex tape.
Her ex-husband forced her to perform sex acts in front of the camera against her will.
She claimed this in court papers.
She accused her ex-husband, forcing her to take part in a homemade sex tape.
She admitted participating in sexual acts on camera with Kevin Moore, who has been uh pictured in public for the first time since their wedding photo appeared.
Here she is on the uh NBC Nightly News last night.
Question.
But Savannah Guthrie.
You know, it's it's one thing to embrace the questions as an academic matter.
It's another thing to just actually be honest and transparent about who you are.
Right.
Well, I definitely am not white.
Nothing about being white describes who I am.
Yeah.
So what's the word for it?
You know, I mean, I the closest thing that I can come to is if if you're black or white, I'm black.
I'm more black than I'm white.
So on a level of values, um, lived experience currently.
I mean, just in this moment, that's that's the answer.
That's the accurate answer from my truth.
What the answer is here what the is she's racist.
She hates white people.
She recoils at the idea being called white.
Listen now, she talks about it.
She wanted to be black because she's made to feel so guilty about being white, she just wanted to escape it.
Either that, or there's something attractive about being a victim, which could also be a factor.
And we've we've made heroes out of victims.
We have invented victims.
We have created whole groups of them.
And they're lionized.
And they're always in the news.
And they're always felt sorry for.
And everybody who talks about victims in the media talks about them lovingly, supportively.
Much easier to want to have that happen to you to get ripped in the media all the time.
There's all kinds of things at play here.
But it's all destructive to practically everybody involved, one way or the other.
Okay, next we're gonna turn to well, I gotta get some phone calls.
I got some great phone calls uh waiting.
And uh, in addition, some in the conservative media are skewering Donald Trump, so we will, I guess, tacitly move into the Republican presidential.
Uh sweepstakes in race as we move into the uh the day after the Trump announcement with a review of some commentary, what others have said about it, and of course, what everybody wants, and that is what I think about it.
So all of that's coming up in due course.
