Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 podcast.
Remember the other day, folks, last week I asked you a hypothetical question.
Let's draw a boundary line right down the middle of the country.
I don't care where the line is, well, it might matter, but for my quick example here doesn't.
On one side, all Democrats, all socialists, all liberals.
On the other side, all Republicans.
And the question was which side would be the first to try to immigrate to the other side.
We all know that the Democrats would try to abandon their half of the country and get into ours.
Which leads me to a question.
Why don't we do sanctuary cities?
I mean, for crying out loud, if establishing a sanctuary city allows an illegal immigrant to shoot people to death with impunity, then why don't we set up sanctuary cities where things that we believe in can happen, even if they are in violation of the law, even if they are in violation of uh federal statutes or what have you, because that's what the purpose of sanctuary cities is.
San Francisco, there's a bunch of them out there.
Anyway, great to have you here, folks, as we kick off on another brand new week of broadcast excellence here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program is 800 282-2882, the email address L Rushbo at EIB net.com is made the order for Donald Trump.
And by the way, folks, look, I ought to go through the things that set the table today.
I've got four different stacks of stuff here.
Um is Greece.
And it's fascinating.
Wait till you hear what actually has been going on in Greece.
There's a lot you don't know because the domestic U.S. media is not reported.
Like, how about just to wet your whistle?
The people in Greece that are faking disabilities and have been for decades in order to get disability payments is just one of the many ways the Greek system is being defrauded.
On one Greek island alone, 800 people claim to be blind.
And they're not.
700 some odd of them are perfectly able to see.
They are collecting benefits.
That's just one example.
And of course to read – well, a little hint here.
I read my little tech bloggers all the time and they respect – they react to all this stuff.
Wait till you hear what they think.
The problem in Greece is.
Uh and look, the millennials, it's not that the tech bloggers are anything special.
It's that they are a great indicator of millennials in general and how they think.
So that's why I keep bringing them up.
Uh remember the question I asked.
I have two questions last week, and one of the questions was.
I've got a bunch of friends that might say rush, there's a silent majority out there.
It's just waiting for the right candidate to explode.
Just waiting for the right leadership, and that majority is going to show up and and it's going to demonstrate it's a majority, and all this stuff's going to be slapped down and slapped back, and I've hoped that that's true, and I've and I've the 2010-2014 midterm elections would tend to indicate there's a tremendous number of people out there fed up and unhappy.
But then I ask, where are they?
Like Oregon is going to raise average insurance premiums are going to go 36% next year.
I don't care if you get a subsidy.
You can't afford that.
And Oregon's just one state.
Well, where is the uprising against it?
Where's the outrage?
Where's the refusal?
In the state of Oregon, maybe a state of Washington, I'm not sure, one of the two.
One of those uh bakeries that refused to bake a cake for a gay couple has been ordered to pay 135,000 dollars, which essentially is shut them down, and they've been given a gag order where they're not allowed to talk about it, or they get fined again.
No First Amendment rights, no nothing.
Where's the uprising against it?
Where is the outrage?
So I keep asking all these questions.
Well, uh Terry Jeffrey writing at Cybercast News Service today.
Only 19% Of American adults know that the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of religion.
This is a new survey by the Museum Institute.
There's a museum in, I guess it's New York or Washington, a museum of the news.
And granted, we can figure out who runs this place.
But nevertheless, they've got this poll and they've released it.
Only 19% of adults know that the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion.
Stop and think about that.
Only 19%, 20%, one in five people know.
Well, maybe that's why there's no outrage against all these violations of people's religious rights, because people don't have any idea it is one.
Only 10% ready for this, only 10% know the First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press.
Only 10% of American adults, only 33% of American adults have no idea at all what rights the First Amendment guarantees.
33% have no clue whatsoever what the First Amendment is about.
And of those they that do, a precious few indeed.
The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
I guess those words just go by.
I mean, they don't even stop register with people.
Let's take that a little slower.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or abridging the free exercise thereof, or a bridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
That's the First Amendment.
10% knew that freedom of the press is in there.
19% knew that freedom of religion was in there.
33% had no idea what was in there.
The New Zealand Institute survey conducted by Dr. Ken Daughterick, president of the Stats Group, interviewed a thousand and two American adults May 14th through 23rd.
And he says that his survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
70% of Americans believe the news media is intentionally biased.
This is the 2015 State of the First Amendment survey conducted by the First Amendment Center and USA Today was released last Friday.
Now, if you greet the whole thing, you would come away from it feeling very positively.
Yet, yet Democrats still continue to win a lot.
I mean, this I have a problem with this.
If 70% of the American people think the news media is biased, why do they believe them?
And I don't think there's any doubt about the fact they believe them.
That's what we've been chronicling here from the low information voters to low information adults, the millennials.
There's no question that drive-by media still has considerable ability to influence.
I mean, it goes without saying.
Bad news, bad news for the millennials.
Did you realize there were 82 shootings in Chicago over the weekend?
14 more deaths.
And yet the problem is the Confederate flag in South Carolina.
82 shootings, 14 deaths.
But that's going to be overlooked.
In fact, it probably already is being overlooked because Chicago is out of money.
Chicago needs cash.
Chicago, the mayor, and the city, the board of aldermen have discovered that the people in Chicago like to watch television.
Particularly like to watch movies.
And so a ruling by Chicago's Department of Finance will allow the city to add an extra 9% tax onto electronically delivered amusements.
You know what that is?
Electronically delivered amusements is designed to keep people from understanding what is being taxed here.
Essentially, it's Netflix.
Netflix delivers electronic amusements.
They're called movies and television shows and other forms of propaganda.
The millennials, young people, and it's it's now expanding beyond that demographic, love Netflix.
They absolutely love it.
And boy, when Netflix raises prices, you would, I mean, that that gets their dire, their anger up more than anything I can recall.
Now, when they find out in Chicago, there's a 9% tax increase, this may be the most worthwhile teachable moment tax increase in our recent lives, folks.
Okay, I'll just tell you, you know what the millennials think about Greece?
I shouldn't lie.
You know what they think the problem in Greece is?
Two things.
The problem in Greece is they're not taxing themselves enough.
Those people in Greece, they're greedy because they're not paying enough taxes.
And the second reason is the global financial meltdown.
Whenever that was, when was the global?
I thought we averted the global financial meltdown with TARP and the porculus bill.
I thought we narrowly averted the global, but right there it is, the global financial meltdown, and greedy Greeks unwilling to pay high enough taxes.
That's somebody in his 30s.
That's what he thinks.
That's what he wrote.
That's what he believes is going wrong in Greece.
I have some incredible stuff in the race stack today.
And it's out of academia.
It's out of classrooms, higher education classrooms, and some of it is just, well, it's explanatory, but it's all absurd.
You won't believe it.
But it's happening and it's true.
Do you know that even this was in the New York Times?
They've got a blog called The Opinionator.
They get two academicians, two intellectuals debating each other in print back and forth.
Honest to God, folks, this is not it.
This is not in any way parody or satire.
The New York Times, over the weekend, or maybe it was Friday, actually ran a very long blog post on the proposition that the whole concept of reason and critical thinking is white privilege racism.
So even the act of being reasonable, being able to reason use common sense, that is the result of white privilege and these are two academics, one from Yale, and the other guy forget where he's from.
Also, this, how many of you over the weekend had one or a couple or maybe more backyard barbecues?
And how many of you blew up your hand playing with fireworks like Jason Pierre Paul of the New York Giants?
Did you hear about that?
Well, he's says severe injuries in his hands.
He was he was playing with fireworks and an accident happened.
Understand now not career threatening.
The other guy, there's another guy out there that launched fireworks from the top of his head.
He's dead.
He assumed room temperature rather quickly.
Your backyard barbecue.
However many of them you've had this weekend and in your life, every one of them, stolen from slaves and Native Americans.
Kid you not, the details are coming up.
Backyard Barbie, the whites didn't even invent that.
They stole that.
They stole that from the slaves and they stole that from the Indians.
And you are to feel guilty.
In fact, you're not supposed to do a backyard barbecue anymore because it isn't yours.
The slaves didn't have a grill.
They had they had uh they had charcoal briquettes in the lighter fluid.
I don't know what they had.
I'm telling, but outdoor barbecue.
I guess they did.
They went out on the patio at the plantation.
They wheeled in the Weber.
They invented the Weber.
And the charcoal briquettes from Kingsford.
And then the Ronson lighter fluid.
And then they invented barbecue.
Outdoor grilling and the Native Americans as well.
No, they didn't share anything.
It was stolen.
That's the whole point.
It was stolen.
They didn't share it.
It was seen.
It was witnessed.
And the slave owners and others of that era saw it and liked it and just took it.
Just like all of African culture has been stolen.
Thanks, Thanksgiving, all of it.
None of it's real.
Everything that's happened in this country is the result of white privilege and white supremacy.
And it's being taught.
This is being, I'm telling all of this is coming from what I have gleaned being passed along to young skullsful of mush at university.
There's all kinds of stuff.
I want you to sit tight, take a quick time out here.
We'll be back and continue right after this.
Don't go away, folks.
There was a story on the 4th of July, which was.
Was it 4th July, Friday or Saturday?
Or Saturday.
Yeah, Saturday.
Which means maybe a whole lot of people didn't see this.
Here's the headline.
Hillary Clinton reassures gay youth in viral Facebook photo.
Did you hear about this, Mr. Snerdley?
You didn't hear about this?
Hillary Clinton offered moral support to a distraught gay youth who shared his anxiety about his future in a viral photograph posted on the Humans of New York Facebook page.
Telling him on Friday that it would be amazing.
The boy who is not named in the photo is shown frowning and holding his head in his hands while sitting on a stoop on his street in New York.
According to the caption of the picture, said, I'm homosexual and I'm afraid about what my future will be, and that people will not like me.
Now this picture just happened to be taken.
We are supposed to believe that a photographer was just randomly walking the streets of New York and just happened to see an eight-year-old boy sitting on his front stoop crying.
And so the photography and good photojournalist said, aha, I see a story here.
Well, there's an eight-year-old crying.
So he snapped the picture.
And then the kid, the photographer walked up to the kid.
Why are you crying, young man?
And that's when the kid told the photographer that he was crying because he's gay.
And of course, then Mrs. Clinton rides to the rescue here, offering moral support to this distraught eight-year-old who shared his anxiety in the photograph with this guy that just happened to be walking down the right street at the right time in New York to take the right picture.
Two hours after the picture was posted, Mrs. Clinton typed out some words of encouragement and signed her comment H. Prediction from a grown-up, she wrote, Your future's gonna be amazing.
You'll surprise yourself with what you're capable of and the incredible things you go on to do.
Find the people who love and believe in you.
There'll be lots of them.
Now, I I'm sorry, folks, but I am where the Clintons are concerned, there's no coincidences with the Clintons.
There just aren't any.
And I feel very confident and safe, speculating that this whole thing is as phony as it gets.
We're supposed to believe a photographer walking the streets of New York City sees this kid crying on his stoop, then takes his picture.
And then the kid says to the photographer, yeah, I'm crying because I'm gay and I'm really worried about my future and I don't think I'm going to be loved and it's going to be really hard out there.
The kid looks like he's eight or nine.
You know the kid looks like the kid looks like the kid that was in the gay pride parade last week.
Picture we showed his mom proudly had him out there dressed up in some kind of rainbow colored drag queen getup with the with a Roman crown of whatever on his head.
This kid looks exactly like that kid.
I'm not saying it's the same kid.
I'm just saying that's what this eight-year-old looks like.
That was in Yahoo parenting.
Anyway, it's just a little too convenient with Hillary in some trouble out there with the progressive because of Bernie Sanders.
And we're back.
Great to have you here, folks.
Ill Rushbow is serving humanity simply by being here.
All right, the situation in San Francisco.
In an interview on ABC Eyeball News 7, the man accused of shooting and killing a young woman at San Francisco's Pier 14 admitted to the crime and talked about where he got the gun.
His name is Francisco Sanchez.
The Eyeball News reporter said, Did you shoot Kate Steine?
The lady who was down at Pier 14, he said, Yes.
You did shoot her?
Mm-hmm, he said with a nod.
That means the guy's gonna get off scot-free.
Now, do you know that in our modern culture, confession is the equivalent of a get out of jail free card?
If you confess to doing it, it means that you have gotten your mind right with it.
It means that you are remorseful.
And if you are feeling remorse, that means you regret doing it.
That means you wish you hadn't done it, and that means you're okay.
Do you remember, folks, all of these years when there were crimes that the left tried to categorize as hate crimes?
Do you recall how much more frequently as time went on, you began to hear, as part of every news report about said crimes, that the so the perpetrator of such and such felt no remorse.
At a trial, if the hate crime trials, particularly hate crime, oh, those are worse than real crimes.
Hate crimes are really, really bad crimes because there's hate in there.
And if the perp expresses no remorse, they hate the perp more for that than for the crime he committed.
If you don't remember that, don't doubt me.
This is part of our social evolution that I have noticed.
It's been going on for years, 20, 25 years, and I the first time I heard it.
You know, I perked up and concocked myself.
Well, what does that matter?
Whether he's remorseful or not.
Well, I'll tell you why it matters, because now in 2015, if you feel remorse over what you did, then you can get forgiveness.
You can, you can in some places be exonerated simply because you feel bad about what you did.
But if you had no remorse, if you didn't feel bad for it, if you admitted that you didn't have any remorse, oh man, that was that was gonna get you more time than the actual crime you committed.
Because to people on the left, it's all about feelings.
It's all about intentions.
Nature, the evidence is secondary to your feelings.
And to the well, the seriousness of the charge.
And so when perps would acknowledge that they felt remorse, there were sighs of relief and even support.
And so this guy, he now I don't know if he's expressed remorse yet, but he admitted to doing it.
And that's the next step towards admitting remorse.
Francisco Sanchez told ABC Eible News 7 that the shooting was an accident.
He says he was wandering around on Pier 14 after taking sleeping pills he found in a dumpster.
This guy must be aware enough to try the patented Kennedy defense.
He probably just didn't remember Ambien, but he remembers the Kennedy defense.
I mean, this guy is a student of the American criminal justice system.
The guy's an illegal immigrant and he knows full way, been deported a bunch of times, keeps coming back.
He's exactly the kind of guy Donald Trump was talking about.
Exactly.
So here Bernard, the reporter, where did you get the gun?
And Francisco Sanchez says, I got it in the ground.
When uh what was over there in the bench room, I remember I put my leg, I see the one t-shirt, and then over there something like that.
He claims the gun was wrapped in a t-shirt and that it went off when he picked it up.
And then suddenly I heard that boom boom three times, Sanchez said.
He claims he kicked the gun into San Francisco Bay, lit up a cigarette, and walked off, not knowing he shot somebody until he was arrested by the cops hours later.
Reportedly first told the police he was shooting at sea lions.
Well, shooting at sea lions.
Now there you're gonna cancel out the good vibes you got here with admitting to it, buddy.
What a gift of love this man is.
Well, that's what we were told.
These illegal immigrants are gifts of love.
He appeared tall and nervous when he talked about returning to the U.S. after being deported back to his native Mexico five times.
The reporter for ABC News Eyeball 7.
Why did you keep coming back to the U.S.?
Why did you keep coming back to San Francisco?
Sanchez.
Well, because I was looking for jobs in the restaurant or roofing, landscaping, or construction.
Really?
All those jobs that Americans won't do anymore.
Did the fact that it was a sanctuary city have anything to do with this?
Go to the audio sound bites.
We will start last night.
You can hear some of this on ABC 7 Eyeball News in San Francisco.
This is the interview of Francisco Sanchez.
And we start with this.
Did you shoot Kate Steinley, the lady who was down on Pier 14?
Yes.
I'm sorry for the everybody.
Including Kate Stein's family.
Yeah.
I'm sorry for everybody, including her family.
Yeah.
See?
Remorse.
The guy's on the road to redemption here, folks.
In the United States of America, 2015.
Remorse is the key that unlocks your guilt.
Now this guy may have a tougher time of it because of all of the crimes and all the violations, but still he shows up in a sanctuary city and San Francisco is still determined to protect him.
He said he knew that San Francisco was a sanctuary city where he would not be pursued by immigration officials.
He shoots at sea lions and smokes cigarettes, and still they don't hate him.
Because he's an illegal immigrant.
This guy is a great opportunity to show what a bunch of creeps Republicans are.
Do not laugh, and I am not trying to say anything outrageous to get your reaction.
That's exactly the purpose this guy serves.
You've you've probably heard the left is going out of its way to defend this guy.
The left's going out of its way to We should not be hasty in our judgment of Francisco Sanchez.
This guy is uh could be a tremendous vehicle for once again shifting the blame to Republicans.
So the conversation between a reporter and the perp continued.
Why did you keep coming back to the U.S.?
Why did you come back to San Francisco?
Looking for Pajanda Restarano Roofing Las Kipino.
How convenient.
I was looking for jobs in the restaurant or roofing or landscaping or construction.
Right.
This guy has been gaming The system.
He knows exactly how to do it.
He knows exactly where to go to be able to break United States law.
And let's not forget the first law in all the laws he's broken is being here.
He's an illegal immigrant.
But people who point that out are the bad guys.
This guy is a victim.
Somehow, somewhere of something, this guy to the left is a victim.
Most perps are victims.
Victims of white supremacy now, victims of white privilege, victims of socioeconomic circumstances, whatever, but he's a victim.
And as a victim, there are reasons why he did what he did, and we must endeavor to understand them.
And this is not new.
This has been a leftist trend for 25 or 30 years, maybe longer.
Mrs. Clinton supports sanctuary cities.
Let's go back September 26, 2007, Hanover, New Hampshire.
At Dartmouth College, presidential debate Democrat, moderator Tim Russert, asks Hillary if she would allow sanctuary cities to exist.
If local law enforcement begins to act like immigration enforcement officers, what that means is that you will have people not reporting crimes.
You will have people hiding from the police, and I think that is a real direct threat to the personal safety and security of all the citizens.
But she would allow the sanctuary cities to disobey the federal law.
Well, I don't think there is any choice.
She would.
This is the point.
This is 2007.
Look at what she said.
If local law enforcement begins to act like immigration enforcement officers, what that means is that you'll have people not reporting crimes.
You'll have people hiding from the police.
No, what you'll have is wanton law breaking on the part of people living in San Francisco who do so specifically to get away with it.
I mean, this whole concept.
Why don't we set up our own sanctuary cities?
What do you think the left would do if we set up sanctuary cities where immigration law was enforced, Roe v.
Wade was ignored?
Uh take your pick of anything you think is destroying an America and we stop it in a sanctuary city.
What do you think the left would do?
You think Miss Clinton would come out with a quote like this supporting it.
She'd want to put everybody in that city responsible for creating a sanctuary city in jail.
This is absurd.
If local law enforcement begins to act like immigration enforcement officers, why would that be necessary?
would only be necessary if immigration enforcement officers are not allowed to do their jobs in San Francisco because it's a sanctuary city.
I mean, this is...
This is upside down.
So let's move on now.
Grab audio soundbite number seven.
It's Paul Nop.
Loop, just saw the clock.
Gotta take a brief time out, folks.
And your phone calls, of course, are gonna get mixed into the uh the whole shebang here in due course.
Be patient.
Be right back.
You know, Trump.
Donald Trump made a statement, it makes a lot of sense.
He doesn't understand why he is under such vicious assault from everybody when all he's trying to do is keep the country safe.
And of course, the left is out there, and even some Republicans are out there say, hey, this one incident uh doesn't mean anything about what Trump is saying.
Don't focus on this and say that Trump has a point.
Trump is mean-spirited, he's extreme, he's vicious, he's outrageous, and this one incident of an illegal being deported five times and showing back up and committing murder and living in a sanctuary city, and it has nothing to do with what Trump's talking about.
Yet it has everything to do with what he's talking about.
And he's under a talk, under assault and under attack for what he claims is just trying to keep the country safe.
Said Friday that he would prevent violent conduct from illegal immigrants if he was elected president.
And he said he deplores acts like the fatal shooting of Catherine Steinley in San Francisco.
This is exactly why we have to secure our border immediately.
It's an absolutely disgraceful situation.
I'm the only one who can fix it.
Nobody else has the guts to even talk about it.
So here's the forehead, Paul Bagala, who thinks that Republicans and Democrats should join and stop Trump from using this murder in San Francisco.
This is today on CNN, Alison Camarada speaking with Bagala.
She says, Does this terrible tragedy in San Francisco give Trump some cred, some credibility to say exhibit A, this exactly what I was talking about?
Well, I'm sure he will seize it even if it doesn't give it to him.
And Mr. Trump is not shy about sharing his views.
First off, good manners and any human decency requires that we that I uh offer my sympathies to the Steinley family.
It's a horrendous murder.
Republicans and Democrats ought to join and not allow Mr. Trump to get away with using this murder in San Francisco to smear an entire ethnicity.
You know, nobody used the South Carolina shooting to smear white people.
They didn't.
They didn't.
They still are.
They're using not just the South Carolina incident.
They're using the Confederate flag.
They're trying to smear an entire region, Paul.
You know it as well as I do.
You're probably the architect of some of the strategy.
The whole thing in South Carolina is designed.
I'll tell you, it got shut down.
I will admit something to you folks.
There was a full-fledged effort on that was going to tar and feather not just Charleston, but the entire state of South Carolina and all of the states that comprise the old Confederacy.
The left was ready to roll.
They were going to do everything they could to take that incident and use it to smear the Republican Party, the Southern states, last geographic stronghold of the Republican Party, and anything else that got in their way.
And you know what shut it down?
And maybe not shut it down, but you know what impeded it.
No, not the gay marriage decision.
What impeded it was the surviving family members forgiving Dylan Root in church or in court.
They had a chance.
Dylan Root, when he was arraigned, family victims of the nine slayed people in the church, forgave him.
They invoked their deeply held Christian religious beliefs.
They essentially said, vengeance is the Lord's, and they forgave him.
And once that happened, that took the wind out of the sails, and it took the energy out of, because to go further now, to try to take the, and use it.
I mean, for Brigala to talk about, this shouldn't be used as an example.
How about every time there's a shooting in a school, the Democrat Party rushes to blame the entire Tea Party?
I mean, it's incredible, the double standard that exists here.
The problem, of course, the Republicans go along with it.
Now, the Gay-Marries decision coming out somewhat quickly also took some of the steam out of the movement.
But if it hadn't been for those people, the families of the nine people slain by Dylann Roof for giving him, I'm telling you, it's hard to move forward when you don't have the anger and vitriol of the victims propelling you.
I thought it was remarkable, frankly.
I thought it was...
I thought it was one of the greatest public illustrations of Christianity in real world daily life that I've ever seen, the modern era.
And it took, it took all the energy out of whatever the left had planned.
They're still trying to use it.
I mean, the Confederate are still in the news today, and how horrible and vicious and whatever.
And the college professors are still doing everything they can to move forward.
