Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Telephone number wanna be on the program 800 282882.
And the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Washington Post, Stacey Patton.
She is a uh I don't know that this gets published.
I don't know if it's just a blog post or if it actually is in the paper.
But she's really upset that the nine parishioners at the church have forgiven Dylan Roof.
Black America should stop forgiving white racists.
She is a senior enterprise reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education, an adjunct professor of American history at American University, and the author of that mean old yesterday.
Whatever that is, I assume it's a book.
The morgue tag was still on Sharonda Coleman Singleton's toe when her teenage children stood in front of news cameras and said they had forgiven Dylan Roof for murdering their mother in cold blood.
And she goes on to cite the others and then expresses her anger and outrage at this.
There is no reason that this terrorist, this this murderer should be forgiven by these people.
She doesn't understand, obviously, Christianity and obviously the deep belief in it that these people in that church have.
Okay, let's go to the audio sound bites, and that's CNN today.
And again, look, I guess all this is occurring under an umbrella or a single theme today here, folks.
And you know, I kind of, it was a throwaway comment yesterday.
Uh all this focus on the Confederate flag and trying to put this in perspective and tell everybody what the real focus is, which is not the flag, but everything the left wants you to think that flag represents.
It's about a way of life.
It's about political conservatives, it's about the Republican Party, it's about wiping them out.
It is about eliminating Democrat Party opposition.
It's about clearing the playing field, clearing the decks with whatever mechanism and opportunity presents itself.
And I said the next thing happened, the next flag is going to come to assault the American flag.
And politico wrote about it, and not with any snark either.
And it was discussed by our buddies over at Fox and Friends, and they think I'm off my rocker with it.
Uh but it is the theme of the umbrella, meaning this is not a singular attack on the Confederate flag.
And by the way, it's not the first either.
It's yet just another opportunity as far as the Democrat Party is concerned.
And the political aspects of it are really wrapped up in the fact that the Democrats think that the South is the last Republican geographic stronghold.
And I hate to be a repetitive, but what I said in the first hour, which I've said on previous occasions too.
The biggest threat the Democrat Party faces is domestic, and it's their political opposition.
Their quest for total power is.
I mean, all this talk about bipartisanship and cooperation to getting along, and the Republicans are demanded to act that way.
The media, the Democrats come around teleport, you need to be bipartisan.
You need to be cooperative.
You need to work with us and show people that the government can work.
They're not interested in any of that, folks.
They want to eliminate all opposition.
And that's what all this is.
Now you can believe me or not, but there is no question about it.
And all I'm doing is providing story after story after story here that suffices as evidence for my premise.
The New York Times with two stories in five days, essentially, on how the real threat in this country is right wing extremism and terrorism.
That's the real threat that Americans face.
Not homegrown jihadis, not people here that want to join ISIS.
Not left-wing anti-war protesters, not Operation or whatever the uh The Wall Street bunch was, whatever that name of that phony protest that they concocted to uh counter the Tea Party.
What was the name of that?
Occupy Wall Street.
Yeah, that is nothing to fear there.
And it is nothing to fear from any left-wing uh extremism to nothing to fear from the murder rate, Chicago.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The fear that you need to be constantly aware of is right-wing extremely extremism.
Two stories, New York Times in five days about this.
Then on CNN today, Ashley Banfield talking to Don Blackhole Lemon about something that may need to happen in Washington, D.C. Jefferson owned slaves.
Thomas Jefferson owned slaves.
Third president of the United States, and there is a monument to him in the Capitol City of the United States.
No one ever asked for that to come down.
Is it equal?
Is it equal?
What is that?
Is it equal?
Nobody ever asks if that should come down.
Well, they have now.
You did it.
The bespectacled Ashley Banfield now wants to know if the Thomas Jefferson Memorial should come down.
And if it should, what should we do with the Washington Monument?
And wait till the Feminazis weigh in on that because to them, that is gonna Washington Monument represents nothing but the highest, tallest, most oppressive example of the patriarchy.
You talk about Fallach.
Washington Monument.
Washington, first president, owned slaves, Jefferson, all these guys, what have we done to our country, they will say.
Here's how Don Lemon answered that question.
Should we get rid of, I mean, she didn't say should it be should it come down?
Nobody's ever asked if the Jefferson Memorial should come down.
What it was, should we?
No, I don't think it's equal because Jefferson was a figure that who was part of the entire United States, not just the South.
And that doesn't mean that Jefferson was perfect or anyone is perfect.
And our history is perfect.
There may come a day where we may want to rethink Jefferson.
I don't know if we should do that, but when we get to that point, I'll be happy to partake in that particular discussion.
But right now, I don't think the two are equal.
It's not just, you know, well, what about this?
And what about this, and what about this?
We're talking about nine people who are dead, who were slaughtered.
We're talking about people in the South who have been sick of that flag and living under the oppression of that flag for generations.
And so now this is the time to talk about it.
So Lemon's not down for the struggle yet in terms of getting rid of the Jefferson Memorial.
But he might be open to talking about it later, after they've dealt with the flag.
I don't think the flag and the memorial are quite equal out there, Ashley, but give me a moment.
You know, give me some time to think about this, and maybe we want to go there.
Anyway, it's been posited, and this is not the last we are going to hear of it.
I'm not predicting they're going to get rid of it.
I'm telling you that they don't have to.
All they've got to do is have a serious series of discussions about it.
With a sufficient number of op-eds, a bunch of opinion pieces that run on Yahoo News.
You get enough people discussing how hypocritical it is for this nation to even have a Jefferson memorial.
And you can accomplish the same.
They discredit it.
When you discredit the memorials, when you heap criticism and ridicule on all of these traditions and institutions, you don't have to tear them down in order to destroy them.
And make no bones about do not misunderstand where we are with this.
Now, yesterday, this is exactly what I said about the flag.
And it begot a back and forth on Fox and Friends today.
I'll make another prediction to you.
The next flag that will come under assault, and it will not be long is the American flag.
Do not look at me that way.
It makes perfect sense if you take a look at the timeline of progression of events, the speed and rapidity with which the left is conducting this assault on all of these American traditions and institutions.
If you don't think the American flags in their crosshairs down the road, you had better stop and reconsider.
They just don't think there's anything to that.
Over at Fox and Friends, a little discussion on it.
We had a montage put together to show you what they said.
Well, I hope he's wrong.
I think he's uh engaging in hyperbole a little bit.
And he's got a point.
He's got a point.
Yeah, but the American flags of the narrative.
People aren't coming after the American flag.
No, it's gonna mess with the American flag.
We have too many people willing to defend it.
He does have a point about just how the political narrative can turn on a dime and suddenly things change so fast.
Is that going to happen?
I hope not.
Well, I hope it doesn't either.
But I also didn't want any of this stuff in South Carolina to be happening.
I didn't want the borders to be open.
I didn't want Obamacare to happen.
I didn't want 93 million Americans to not be able to find work and not be in the labor force.
I didn't want all these graduates from major American universities to be a hundred thousand dollars or more in debt.
I didn't want any of this, but it happened in six years.
I didn't want any of it.
You wait.
They tell the right people the White House was built by slaves for a slave holding president.
You wait and see what happens.
Obama's already laid that marker down, by the way.
At some what are you laughing at in there?
Look, I I at the what?
Oh the imagery.
Of what?
Slaves building the White House?
What imagery?
Oh.
Oh well, I'm just uh oh, you mean the the imagery at Fox News and Fox and Friends.
I uh there's all kinds of stuff that's happening more rapidly than I would have ever thought it could.
You know, gay marriage, transgenderism as normal, natural, and as every day as water in the faucet.
I mean, you blink, and there's major change taking place here.
And it's happening overnight.
And my my only point is that the American flag stands for a bunch of things that are already under assault.
And it somebody is going.
Nobody's gonna say by the way, let me clarify what I mean by this.
I I don't mean that they're gonna make a move like they're making in in in in uh South Carolina to actually pull the American flag down.
I'm saying people are gonna start ripping it.
People are gonna start criticizing it as a symbol of all that's wrong.
I mean, look at the Confederate flag.
The Confederate flag flew over slave states for four years.
The American flag has flown over whatever they think is wrong in this country for 200 plus years.
Just like you don't have to tear down the Jefferson memorial to discredit it, and to have people question that as a tradition, as an institution as a uh as a symbol.
You don't have to tear it down.
You don't have to pull the American flag down in order for people to start questioning it.
I'm just telling you this stuff's already actually underway.
It's very simple what we're talking about, the transformation of this country, which Obama telegraphed.
And uh is happening.
Now, last night on CNN's tonight, Don Black Hall Lemon spoke with New York Times columnist Timothy Egan and uh satellite radio guy, uh Joe Madison about the Confederate flag controversy and slavery.
And Don Lemon said, you say that the president should apologize for slavery.
And you said the first black man to live in the White House, long hesitant about doing anything bold on the color divide, could make one of the most simple and dramatic moves of his presidency, apologize for the land of the free being at one time the largest slave-holding nation on earth.
So why now, Egan?
Why Obama?
Why of all presidents should Obama be the one to apologize?
We're having this awful week, this horrible tragedy.
And we're also having going through a lot of self-reflection right now.
And at the root of a lot of this thing, a lot of the problems we've had is this America's original sin, which was slavery.
As you mentioned as I wrote, we were the largest slave holding nation on earth.
We did make blacks three-fifths of a person in the Constitution.
We did codify racism into the Constitution in many ways.
And I just think it could be so redemptive and so powerful and so moving, you wouldn't have any hassle from Congress.
There'd be pushback from people, of course.
But for a man who's the leader of what was once the largest slave holding nation on earth to say, I apologize for what we did in America's original sin.
Other nations have done it.
The Vatican has done it.
Uh there are a host of reasons why Obama would never do it.
But you know, here's the thing about this that gets me.
These people are acting, talking, writing, pontificating, opining, as though slavery is still the order of the day.
It's still happening.
And in fact, we haven't done anything to correct it.
We haven't made amend one.
We haven't done anything.
We haven't apologized.
We haven't made any uh movements taken any steps, no advances whatsoever, which is flat out Pompeycock.
That's the thing that bothers me about this.
It is the you know how ignorant people are of American history, it isn't being taught.
I mean, how many people think that there hasn't been one thing done to make amendment for this, to make amends for it, to uh get past it.
People want to create this mindset that it is still happening, and that we haven't done anything to fix it.
That's what's being perpetuated here.
Anyway, here's uh here's Hillary.
Move on to audio soundbite number seven.
She's in Florida, Missouri, the Christ the King United Church of Christ at a community meeting, and this is what she said about all of this.
I know it's tempting to dismiss a tragedy like this as an isolated incident.
To believe that in today's America, bigotry is largely behind us, that institutionalized racism no longer exists.
But despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, America's long struggle with race is far from finished.
Ah, you see, so the struggle continues.
You see, nothing's been done.
That's exactly my point.
For all practical purposes, for all intents and for nothing's been done here.
We have such a long way to go.
We haven't done nearly enough.
Getting rid of the Confederate flag, that's just the beginning, and then she said more.
I appreciate the actions begun yesterday by the governor and other leaders of South Carolina to remove the Confederate battle flag from the State House.
Recognizing it as a symbol of our nation's racist past that has no place in our present or our future.
It shouldn't fly there.
It shouldn't fly anywhere.
But you know, I know.
I'm out of time.
Stop this.
I gotta go to a break.
I can't take this woman.
I just people have been waiting patiently as they do all the time to appear on the program.
We're gonna start in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Hey, Ron, thank you so much for waiting and welcome.
It's great to have you here.
Thanks for having me, Rush.
Uh I'm just concerned about this slippery slope that we're on with what people choose to make a symbol of hatred.
You know, with uh the Confederate flag, are we gonna get attacked with stars and bars?
I understand your point about new attacks to be expected on old glory.
Um where does it stop?
The city of Durham was set to save six point seven million dollars by switching from Blue Cross Blue Shield to Aetna, but they refused to switch because Aetna had insured their founders had insured uh slaveholders back in the eighteen fifties.
So the state's gonna spend an extra six point seven million dollars.
You're kidding me.
That's that's how.
You're just calling here making this stuff just to get out on the game, right?
I wouldn't do that to you, Rush.
It's uh it's absolutely ludicrous.
I mean, are we going to outlaw the sale of white linen sheets because someone might cut a hood out of them?
Where where does it stop?
Uh what you know, that's the point.
Where does it stop?
And I be honest, I've been asking for 25 years.
When are we gonna bottom out on this stuff?
And we never reach the bottom.
We keep descending to depths that I didn't know we could get to.
Uh even I, who am very prescient and able to spot trends, tell you where they're going, even I've I failed to realize that transgenderism would eventually be presented to us as normal, and that it's something we should accept and don't question and whatever.
I can take your pick, any of these things.
Um but there's there's a race now.
Your example is, I think, uh indicative.
There's a race here that is being conducted by people who want to be able to show you just how sensitive they are, just how aware, just how feeling, uh, just how how self-conscious they are about pain and suffering and not wanting to be a part of it.
And uh so if if this insurance company happened to insure slave owners a couple hundred years ago, that's and that's uh we're not in my name today.
We're not gonna it's just it's absurd.
It truly is.
And where it stops, I can't tell you.
Um, you keep thinking at some point it's gonna reach such a point of ridiculousness that but we're not there yet.
We're not even close.
The 13th Republican to announce his running for president is Bobby Jindle.
Bobby Jendle made it official, that means he's number 13.
No, Scott Walker has not announced yet, but he will.
I mean, I'm assuming so.
Um, and right on schedule, right on schedule, the Washington Post, ready for this, had a story, I think it was yesterday, or maybe I read about it last night that it was going to be published today.
It's either one.
Washington Post with a story that Bobby Jindle is not any longer an authentic Indian.
He's not brown enough, but he has failed to make himself look white.
Not skin color behavior, attitudinally.
I mean, these people are obsessed with this.
It is the left obsessed with surface indicators of who people are.
It's the left obsessed with skin color.
It's the left obsessed with sex and gender and and uh orientation.
They're obsessed with it.
Now I know, I know in 2008 there was an ongoing debate on the pages of the drive-by media about whether or not Obama was authentic.
But that was because I'll tell you why that happened.
That that was because of Joe Biden.
When Obama announced Biden went public and said essentially, he said this is not an exact quote, but what he said was interpreted as the following.
All right, finally, we got a qualified, clean, well-spoken black guy in our party wants to run for president.
That's what he said.
And that ticked off Al Sharpton and some of the civil rights people like you can't believe.
And that's what begot all of the arguments or discussions about whether or not Obama was authentically black.
And then there were dissections where his father was from and his mother, and did he have slave blood and was he down for the struggle?
It was just it was mind-numbing to watch this stuff.
But that's who they are.
Now here comes Bobby Gendal, and he's not authentic Indian enough.
Yeah, he's an Indian American, but he's not authentic.
He's he's not authentic.
He'd been corrupted.
So the effort to destroy Bobby Gendal is now underway with the Washington Post leading the charge.
From the Daily Caller, Environmental Protection Agency EPA administrator Gina McCarthy told an audience yesterday, gathered at a White House conference, That normal people, not climate deniers, will win the debate on global warming.
Gina McCarthy's remarks came as she was talking about the reasons why the EPA put out a report on the negative health impacts that global warming will have on public health.
She said the EPA puts out these reports to educate the public, not answer critiques from global warming skeptics.
She said, I'm not doing this to push back on the climate deniers.
The audience was doctors and health professionals.
They were gathered before White House Summit.
See, you can have fun doing that if you want, but I have batted my head against the wall too many times.
And if the science already hasn't changed their minds, it never will.
She then remarked how normal people would eventually win the global warming debate.
Implicit in her remarks is the contention that skeptics are not normal people.
Denyers, skeptics are not normal people.
But the people that believe in man-made global warming are normal, and because of the science.
You know, that folks is the single biggest reason to not believe global warming because the science isn't science.
The science is made up, it's filled of hoaxes and so forth, but the bottom line is science is not up to a vote.
And you always hear things like the consensus of scientists agrees.
There is no consensus in science.
You don't take a proposition, put it up to a vote, and if a majority of scientists agrees, then voila, we have just made a scientific discovery.
Sorry, it doesn't happen that way.
And that's all global warming is.
There are all kinds of really smart and really credible scientists.
You know, men and women that wear white coats too, that have every bit of scientific data they need to debunk and blow holes through every bit of man-made global warming theory, which is all it is.
It isn't science.
Anyway, here's Chris in Baltimore.
Chris, I'm glad that you um made it to a phone.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
It's an honor.
Uh almost equally an honor to uh have Mr. Snurley answer the phone.
Anyway, uh, you know, uh your previous caller said where they're going to stop, and I was often thinking about that in regard to uh the CNA comments today.
Um, you know, uh taking down the Jefferson and as you suggested, maybe even the Washington Monument.
You know, how far could it go?
Suppose then they go so far to say, okay, everybody with the names of Jefferson and Washington have to change their name.
You know, uh, because they want to carry that legacy of white supremacy behind supremacy behind them.
Uh think of how many African Americans, you know, would have those names and would have to change their entire identities.
Why, even to uh credence to this, how about William Jefferson Clinton?
You know, how about what does what's his linkage to uh to the legacy of slavery uh, you know, with respect to that.
So Paul Butler, real quick, he was on NPR yesterday, Diane Ream show you're right.
This guy's an unapologetic racist.
Uh the uh left in the administration uh will not uh use or decry radical Islam, but they're quick to decry white supremacy.
When radical Islam killed 33,000 people worldwide last year, according to the University of Maryland Global Terrorism Database, uh, far outstripping what any white supremacist has done in my research.
Oh, I know.
It's look, it's not even close.
That that but see, all of all of what you said um added together, makes another point.
Let me tell you this.
I hosted a program like this.
In fact, the program in Sacramento, my adopted hometown was the forerunner to this program.
It was from October of 1984 through June of 1988.
Nearly four years.
And there was a regular caller that I had out there by the name of Wash.
He's an African American.
He called all the time, and he was uh, oh, he was sometimes contentious, sometimes he agreed, but he was a good natured guy, and I always appreciated Getting his call.
He became a character.
And he once asked me the question Hey, Rush, how many white people you know name Washington?
And before I could answer, he said, there aren't any Rush.
And yet the father of our country, the father of our country, you say the father of our country, George Washington's a white guy.
Where are the white Washingtons in this country, Rush?
Where are they?
And I said, You tell me, Wash, he said there aren't any.
Every Washington offspring was a black because Washington owned slaves.
Now, this is 1987, 1985 and 86, folks.
Do not doubt me when I tell you of the trends that I spot.
I have a head start on people.
Never forget this guy.
Certainly, you would have loved this guy.
I met him once.
He actually uh he showed up at a personal appearance.
He was this little guy with big coke bottle glasses, and he had uh he had dreads, and he was just the nicest guy.
And he had just always had a smile on his face, like he knew he was pulling one over on me, or thought he was.
But I always enjoyed, there were a couple of maybe three regular callers out there, one of them was a real nutcase.
I wish I could remember this guy's name.
He got through on this program once early on, and I tried to get this guy in character the way he had always been, but he blew up.
He knew he was talking to a national audience, and he just he he he crumbled because of uh stage fright.
And he wasn't, he didn't, he didn't come off the way I had prepared people for this guy.
But that's okay.
We had Mick from the high mountains of uh New Mexico to take over.
But I'll never forget this guy.
Where are the white people named Washington in this country rush?
Find one for me, you can't.
So, anyway, um I want to make something clear here.
Let me I I'm not suggesting that anybody's gonna tear down the Jefferson Memorial.
I I don't this is something I don't want to be misquoted on.
I didn't even bring it up.
CNN brought it up.
Ashley Banfield and Donald Lemon Donald started talking about whether or not it would make sense.
I mean, if we're gonna get rid of the Confederate flag, should we get rid of all of these memorials?
Would that be the equal thing to do?
And my point to you is they don't have to tear down a single thing to destroy it.
They do not have to, they do not have to pull down the American flag to destroy it.
They can do all the damage in the world they want with assaults and attacks on reputations, tradition, history, you name it.
Now, isn't it interesting, however?
What is the one thing when you read about ISIS in um news coverage in this guy?
ISIS can run around.
The latest news of ISIS is the methods they're now using to kill people, mass murders.
For example, the latest is they put their prisoners in a cage.
They lower the cage into a swimming pool long enough for the prisoners to drown.
Videotape is rolling, well, cameras are rolling.
And they also now have cameras in the swimming pool that record the actual moments of death due to drowning, and they release that along with the video of the prisoners being lowered into the pool.
Another one is to jam pack some little car with a bunch of prisoners and blow it up with a rocket propelled grenade.
So the media will report on that, and they'll report on it, as they do.
But you let ISIS walk into a museum and start destroying artifacts, and that becomes unacceptable.
Have you noticed that?
The media gets outraged when ISIS starts destroying things in museums.
That's taking it too far.
That's going farther than we can support.
That we can't look the other way when you guys do that.
It's amazing.
And yet the same thing happens here, artifacts from our history destroyed shutdown.
There is applause all around.
I'm telling you, folks, do not doubt me on this.
As far as the Democrat Party and the way it's constituted today, they do consider American conservatives and Republicans to be their greatest clear and present danger.
Not ISIS, not any other group or individual criminals, but conservatives.
And the reason is simple.
We conservatives and Republicans represent an ongoing threat to their power.
They don't think ISIS represents that.
They don't think Al Qaeda threatens their power.
I mean, Al-Qaeda's never going to vote them out of office.
ISIS isn't going to vote them out of office.
And they don't think Al Qaeda's going to come here and kill them out of office.
They don't think ISIS is going to do either.
But conservatives and Republicans and the Tea Party could vote them out of office.
That's what makes us the biggest threat, and that's why they treat us accordingly.
Back in a moment.
I mentioned to you earlier in the program today that the New York Times has a story today.
Homegrown radicals more deadly than jihadis in the U.S., And again, the premise, folks, why do a story like this?
You're sitting in the newsroom at the New York Times.
You're an editor or whoever, an assignment editor.
You know what?
You know what?
Well, all that stuff going on down in South Carolina in this nutcase and the church and the Confederate flag.
You know, we we need to look at who's doing more killing in this country.
Right wing extremists or Islamic jihadists.
And they get go, the premise is simply astounding.
And they do a story and they find out, using their research, their exhaustive data that homegrown radicals are more deadly than jihadis in the U.S. And five days ago, they did a story on white terrorism and how it's been around since the founding days of this country.
Her show on Fox Tonight has an interview with a woman named Tracy Johnson.
Tracy Johnson was almost beheaded by a self-radicalized Muslim convert in Oklahoma in September.
Now this self-radicalized Muslim convert indeed beheaded her co-worker.
Cut the co-worker's head off and then tried to behead Tracy Johnson.
Actually had the knife.
Let's just say it was close, and she's got the scars and the wounds to prove it.
Off-duty sheriff deputy, her boss, shot the guy.
All this is nine months ago.
The PERP, the beheading, the self-radicalized Muslim convert, lived and is on trial for murder.
But the key here is that the FBI did not treat this as a terror act.
The killer had been, we had all kinds of pictures on his Facebook page, pictures of beheading victims, all sorts of calls for jihad.
And was screaming Arabic phrases when he charged at Tracy Johnson to try to actually behead her.
But the FBI and the drive-bys in the media were quick to declare this was just workplace violence, just like Fort Hood.
Yeah, so here we have the New York Times with this story, homegrown radicals more deadly than jihadis.
Well, watch Meghan Kelly tonight and take a look at a homegrown jihadi who tried to behead a woman who survived it.
And hear the story about how the FBI and the drive-by media says, it's just workplace violence.
And the reason they did that, supposedly the reason they categorized it as workplace violence, is that earlier the same day that he had tried to behead, it makes me quease even talking about this.
The same day that this purpose tried to behead Tracy Johnson, he had said he hates white people.
So, I mean, it can't workplace violence.
There's clearly a racist.
But how does being a racist erase, dismiss, and render irrelevant the overwhelming evidence of his Islamic radicalization?
So things like that do not get counted, oftentimes, when people start doing their statistical calculations over.
But the whole premise here is just absurd and it is sick.
And believe me, it is also part of the agenda.
So that's Megan Kelly's gonna try to do a big exposition.
The interview's done.
I think she's talked to this woman at the full story tonight on her program.
Anyway, I take a break, folks, up against it on time.
Don't go away.
Based on new evidence that I have right here, my formerly nicotine stained fingers, it may well be that we are going to have to ban Budweiser and Seagrams because of racism.
