Time Text
I don't care.
Take Trump out of the conversation for all I care.
It doesn't change anything.
Take Trump out of the conversation.
What's happening is the media and the left are still doing everything they can to pretzel themselves in some sort of position where we have to understand the perp in San Francisco.
And we have to understand that somehow law enforcement is responsible.
And that San Francisco as a sanctuary city is a city of love and tolerance.
And everything would be fine if law enforcement would just stop trying to uh pursue the guy.
I mean, this is what they're telling us.
I'm telling you, folks, it is a bastardization of common sense.
It is a bastardization of law and order.
It is a bastardization of actual civilization that's taking place here.
And the reason you can't leave Trump out of this is because Trump is running as a Republican, which means all of this is going to have to end up being blamed on him or the Republican Party, because that is how you advance the Democrat Party agenda.
So you you strip all of these distractions away.
And what do you have?
You have a wandering shred of human debris, named Sanchez, who wantonly murdered a woman in San Francisco.
He has been deported four times.
He keeps coming back five times.
He's been deported five times.
He keeps coming back.
He goes to San Francisco because he knows that it's a sanctuary city, which means he knows that they are going to ignore federal law that they don't like.
When it comes to immigration, he is he knows he's going to be free to do whatever he wants to do.
When asked why he keeps coming back, he miraculously cites the industries that we are told Americans will no longer do work in.
Landscaping, butlering, car wash, whatever the hell industries he cites, they all happen to be businesses that we are told immigration is necessary because Americans won't do that work anymore.
The bottom line is that the left is pretzeling itself and the media, the Democrats, everybody, is going to whatever lengths necessary to avoid admitting what's really responsible for this.
A, San Francisco is a sanctuary city.
B, ignoring federal law, which is the real root of all of this.
The guy is illegal.
But we can't say that because that is dehumanizing, we're told.
And that does not respect his dignity and humanity.
Well, he has violated the law five times minimum that we know of to be here.
No.
Seven felonies, five times deforted, deported the last felony of murder that he admits to, but says it was an accident.
He was just trying to get some sleeping pills from a dumpster.
It's the old Kennedy defense.
I guess he forgot the word ambient.
But the point of all this is since Trump's involved, Trump becomes the bad guy in this.
Not the PERP.
The bad guys in this are Trump and anybody who defends him, and people who speak out against sanctuary cities.
People who speak up for immigration law become the bad guys.
And now any comments on this guy from from Jeb Bush, you name it, are considered to be inopportune and impolitic and ill-advised and unnecessary.
Meaning we're not supposed to we're not supposed to say what we see.
We're not supposed to talk about what we know.
We're supposed to ignore this episode, lest it be considered typical.
We're not permitted to make the connection between this guy and Democrats and Republicans' desire for open borders.
We are not permitted to make that connection.
We are not permitted to say that if we were enforcing immigration law, this guy would not have killed a woman.
He would not have been here.
He'd have been deported once and that would have been it.
Deported five times, which means five times minimum he got into this country illegally.
We're not allowed to point that out.
Paul Bagala says, it would be outrageous to try to impugn and tar and feather an entire ethnicity just because of the actions of this one guy.
When that's exactly what they're trying to do in South Carolina with the flag, was that they try to do every time a shooting happens in a Tea Party, they want to blame it on the Tea Party, blame it on Sarah Palin.
Or talk radio, you name it.
And I'm telling you, it is ripping us apart.
In Laredo, Texas, another illegal immigrant, four-time deportee, beats his wife to death with a hammer.
Local cops said we had to be very careful because we did not want to lose our credibility with the local population, which is largely Hispanic.
Which, I mean, boil that down to its sheer essence in what do you get?
It is the embodiment of everything the left has been telling us about criminals.
Do not try to catch them.
It'll only make them angrier.
Do not try to hold them accountable.
It will only make them matter, and that will place everybody at greater risk.
And then we get to hear how it's not really their fault anyway.
It's the it's the because whites discovered this land and turned it into this giant imperialistic slave state.
Then we stole the land from the we stole the land from Mexico, and we stole this, and we stole that now.
We've even been accused of stealing the backyard barbecue, folks.
White supremacists stole the backyard barbecue from slaves and Native Americans.
Which seems as good a time as any to get into the academic race stack.
Up first from the Daily Caller, a humanities professor.
Remember now.
These are at major universities where American kids are attending and have been for decades under the control of an obviously extreme uber progressive leftist movement.
In the social sciences, feminist studies, the multicultural curriculum has been taught now at full speed, 30 years and going.
A humanities professor at a private college in Illinois has used his Twitter account and his website to inform America's white people that they are complicit in slavery, even if their long-dead ancestors never actually owned any slaves.
And despite a 150-year American ban on slavery, the professor is Adam Kotsko, K-O-T-S-K-O.
He is an assistant professor at Shymer College, a tiny great books bastion on the south side of Chicago.
And you might say, well, Rush, what do you mean?
This is not a major college.
You never heard of this guy.
You have now.
That's the point.
This guy is not a one off.
The point here is that this is the kind of filth and perversion that's being taught to your kids in class every day, all across this country, even in high schools.
Adam Kotsko tweeted whether or not your individual ancestors owned slaves, you as a white person have benefited from slavery and are therefore complicit in it.
Sorry.
Now, at the root of all of this, white racism, white supremacy, the accusations of it, the root of all this is these people, this Adam Kotsko was at one time a kid himself.
At one time he was a student.
And wherever he went to school, and maybe in his own home, who knows, but certainly wherever he went to school, he was ladled with so much guilt by his teachers and maybe other students that he had no choice other than to take it on.
And he has spent the rest of his life Feeling the dead weight of guilt all across him for being white.
And now he's teaching it.
Whether or not your individual ancestors own slaves, you as a white person have benefited from slavery and are complicit in it.
Somebody replied to him on Twitter.
Well, what follows from this, professor?
Adam Kotsko's reply, we should commit mass suicide.
Now I know that I denigrate Twitter quite oftenly, referring to it as a place that has very many sewers, and it does.
But there also is value at Twitter because Twitter allows us to see all of the mentally ill people that have become teachers and professors and what they are teaching.
The American campus today, the American university, is a containment area for the mentally ill.
And that's the faculty.
Why would why would any college hire somebody who thinks like this and wants to teach this stuff?
That we are all complicit and responsible for what people alive 250 years ago, 200 years ago did.
Now, this guy is now screaming that his tweets were all sarcasm and were just too dense to get it.
He was just being sarcastic and being a little bit satirical, and we didn't, we not we're not sophisticated enough to understand that he was he was only joking.
Okay, fine.
Well let's move on.
UK Guardian.
Barbecue is a form of cultural power and is intensely political, and if America is about people creating new worlds based on rebellion against oppression and slavery, then barbecue is the ideal dish.
It was made by enslaved Africans with inspiration and contributions from Native Americans struggling to maintain their independence against the evil white Europeans.
If anything, both in etymology and culinary technique, barbecue is as African as it is Native American and European, though enslaved Africans have largely been erased from the modern story of American barbecue.
Did you know that there was a modern story of American barbecue?
And did you know that African Americans once again taking it in the shorts, they created it, they invented it, they were responsible, evil whites came along, stole the whole idea, and Africans have nothing to show for it.
Because we're all now assured that white Europeans had never ever cooked meat over a wood fire before.
White Europeans never even thought of it.
They never cooked meat over a wood fire until they were shown how by enslaved Africans and Indians.
Not making any of this up.
And the real point of this article is that anybody that has anything to do with white America should feel just tremendous guilt and should not have a minute of enjoyment over a single crumb of your existence.
Even your backyard barbecue on the 4th of July, where if you had half a brain, you would realize you're celebrating your nation's independence, even that is a fraud.
You need to even feel guilty about that, because your evil ancestors even stole the whole idea of a barbecue from enslaved Africans.
Xandria Robinson, the recently departed University of Memphis professor, who described whiteness as synonymous with terror, had even more old tweets resurface last Thursday, in which she blames whites for every lethal riot in American history.
She Blasts Dick and Jane stories from your first and second grade experience as being heteropatriarchal and even attributes her menstrual disorder to white microaggressions.
Zandria Robinson, recently departed University of Memphis professor, blames white people for her menstrual problems.
Her blistering this woman taught your kids.
Well, some of you.
This woman blames everything wrong in the world on white supremacy and white microaggression.
Now, folks, you sit here and you listen to me talk about this, and it's a it's something obscure.
And it sounds really out there and sort of fringy.
And for the longest time I thought it was too.
But it hasn't been fringe for a long time.
This is mainstream in academe.
This stuff and the stories now pop up routinely.
They are frequent and they are often, and they're and they're common now.
About the drivel and the bilge that is being taught as mainstream education in American universities.
And you know, there's a new crop of teachers, by the way, in college right now, and they're about to graduate and they're going to come out in the next two, three years, and they're going to be teachers themselves.
What do you think they are learning?
Remember from the museum poll today, 19% of American adults know the First Amendment guarantees the freedom of religion.
In other words, 81% of Americans do not know that the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion.
Only 10% know that the First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press.
And a whopping 33% of Americans have no idea of anything in the First Amendment.
Put another way, only 67% of Americans know what's in the First Amendment.
What percentage of that 37% that doesn't know do you think votes?
I'd bet you all of it.
Which is the point.
So what are today's and tomorrow's teachers?
What are they being taught, do you think?
About America, about American history, about the American founding, about slavery, about Native Americans.
What do you think their entire learning experience has been devoted to multiculturalism?
No, no.
Not making this up.
It was uh back in in March, there were a couple of tweets.
Xandria Robinson admitted to having severe premenstrual, pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, PMDD, as opposed to PMS.
This is PMDD.
It is a condition characterized by emotional and mood problems.
And due to her difficulty treating it, Robinson theorized that her menstrual mood swings may simply have been caused by white people rather than any internal hormonal fluctuations or anything wrong in her body.
And she was teaching this, and she was tweeting this.
A whole series of tweets, people interacting with her here in this story.
Gotta take a break.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Back to the phones we go.
This is Dustin in Brantford, Connecticut.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Quite the honor, Russ.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
You bet.
I wanted to make an observation on that clip you played of Romney a while back about him talking about Trump's comments about illegal aliens and him calling that him calling them Mexican Americans.
Let me find that.
Let me find that Romney clip.
It doesn't take long to go by.
I just have to find it.
Grab number 12.
Yeah, it's only nine.
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That's not the one.
Uh number 11.
It's a female reporter asking Romney about Trump.
Do you think Donald Trump's Comments on Mexicans have hurt the Republican Party.
Yes, I think he made a uh severe error in saying what he did about Mexican Americans.
Uh and uh feel it was unfortunate.
Mexican Americans, that's what you are zeroing in on.
Yeah, I just I kind of find it odd.
I thought Trump was talking about illegal immigrants.
He was.
Is Mitt Romney not that intelligent, or is he just being disingenuous, not honest?
Well, there's a third option, and and that is that Romney and other Democrats and Republicans think that these illegals are going to be citizens someday, so they may as well be Mexican Americans.
I think you're right about that, and I think all these Republicans that are meeting with Mitt Romney speak volumes to the position.
Uh and I think it's actually the Republican Party that are trying to fight with each other.
I don't think the media is doing it.
I think the Republican Party is trying to separate the conservatives out of the party.
Oh, no, no question about that.
That's been going on for for quite a while.
But that is an interesting thing you heard Mexican Americans.
That kind of that zoomed past me because I heard severely in there, which reminded me of something else.
No, no, I have not forgotten about the the fact that I teased you with some stuff from Greece.
It's coming up.
But I want to head back to the phones.
We have uh an eleven-year-old named CJ on the phone from Ohio, Ennon, Ohio.
Hi, CJ.
Hey Ray.
I'm great to have you on the program.
I assume since you're eleven, you must be an eager reader.
And you must enjoy the Rush Revere book series.
That's probably why you're calling, right?
Yes.
I I wanted to call you because I love your books so much.
On a scale one to ten, ten.
Well, thank you.
Can't do much better than that.
What's your favorite part of them?
Um, when Ellen Rush time travels and he brings history alive to his students.
Yeah, well, I'm glad you mentioned that because that's the that's actually the whole point is I mean, do you CJ, I uh there's no wrong answer to any of my questions, so don't don't don't be um don't think I'm giving you a test here.
I'm I'm not sure.
Okay, good.
So I'm generally interested what you think.
When you read any of these Rush Revere books, do you think you're reading just a story, or do you think that you're getting the truth of what really happened in America back in those times?
Well, I feel like I'm getting a mix of both of those things.
Wow, that is really clever.
How do you mean?
How do I what?
How do you mean that?
What do you where do you discern the difference?
What is you say there's a mixture of uh actual truth in American history and other elements.
What are the other elements that you discern are there that may not have to do with American history or truth?
Well, there are parts of American history that I like, and there are parts that are a little scary, like losing lives, but they're fighting for their freedom.
Right.
Well, I just want to take the opportunity to tell you that one of the things that we work the hardest at in putting these books together for people like you, people your age, is the uh is the truth.
As close as we can get to it.
You know, as you get older, CJ, you're gonna learn, hopefully, you're going to learn all kinds of things about American history that you would be bored by if they were taught to you now, such as the the debates that happened at the Constitutional Convention, uh some of the um really sort of detailed things that that take away from the important thrust of each of the elements of America.
You're gonna learn those as you get older.
But what these books hopefully do will give you a foundation of truth that you may get it in school and you may not.
And if you don't get it in school, the purpose of these books is to give you a building block foundation of essential truth about American history in every aspect of it we write about in each book, so that you can then build on that as you get older and learn other things about it.
Now, for example, uh a talking horse.
That wasn't part of American history.
I know that's what you mean.
A talking horse is sort of like uh fantasy.
It's a vehicle that we use to actually take students back to events in American history and actually live them, which you astutely observed as one of the techniques.
And I'm that's so I get I get calls from from people like you who read the books and understand why, and I'm telling you you you couldn't give me a bigger compliment than you did.
I really appreciate it.
CJ, I thank you very much.
No, thank you, Mr. Rush, because your books there are parts of American history that I haven't learned of yet, like the Battle of Concord, the Battle of Lexington.
Things like that.
Well, those are two good examples.
Now, the battles of Concord and Lexington, there have been entire books written about each.
Well, we couldn't do that in uh in one of the Rush Revere books.
So we have to take the the the really important elements philosophically and historically and and and give them to you in an in an in a way that makes sense and is enjoyable to you because a lot of people think history is boring.
And that's understandable too, and we didn't want any aspect of it to be boring.
In fact, the greatest thing that could happen is if people like you become desirous of learning even more truth of it after you have read our books.
And who knows, we may will be with you all the way through your education, uh keeping pace with you in terms of uh you know what you're being taught and what you're learning.
But have you read all three?
Actually, I just finished reading all three.
I finished the third one yesterday.
I have all three of your books in my room right now.
And which do you have a favorite?
Uh my favorite is probably uh well I don't really have a favorite book, but the closest would probably be the American Revolution, because the battles are what it's all about.
I mean that's about well it showed how brave the American Patriot Army was.
And it showed that they were fighting for their freedom and they and they didn't want King George the Third bossing them around like he's the ruler of the whole world.
Exactly right.
That's exactly right.
And you know, uh one of the things that that we will touch on in uh if we keep going here later things, you know, the the uh the French, you know, today we kind of make fun of the French and uh their lack of a military, but had it not been for the French, we wouldn't have had a chance.
And when you go, someday you're gonna go to Mount Vernon, you're gonna go to George Washington's house, and you're gonna be in the living room where he received the Marquis de Lafayette, and and began the whole process of French support for the American Revolution because we had a common enemy at the time, uh Great Britain.
But when the revolution started, we didn't have any ammunition, we didn't have any guns.
We did we had we had nowhere near the arsenal that Great Britain had.
So we had we had uh uh all kinds of tremendous allies, uh with great foreign policy back then with Thomas Jefferson, and all of it is just it's a miracle, CJ, how this country happened.
It literally is a miracle, and it's not being taught anymore.
Uh it just isn't.
Uh the multicultural curriculum has taken over, and we're in a cycle now where America is being cast as illegitimate and all other kinds of really horrible mean things, and we're not mean.
We're not a mean country, and we're not mean people.
We're just the opposite.
And we uh I just want, you know, I love America, and I'm proud as I can be of our country, and I want you to be.
That's why the books.
So I'm glad you called CJ.
I really appreciate it.
And hang on, I want Mr. Snerdley to get an address for you so we can send you a little package of goodies here.
Snurtly told me that there were a couple things from CJ that he didn't have a chance to say during his call.
One of them is that his sister works at Mount Vernon, George Washington's crib.
And he also has a direct line, genealogical line, to Patrick Henry.
His family somehow can trace back to Patrick Henry.
Now that's very cool.
I wish CJ had had a chance to get mentioned that, but at least he mentioned it to Snerdley and we're passing off.
Okay, now I've got to get to Greece here for just a quick second.
I'm going to have to hold some of this stuff over till tomorrow, but it's relevant because we're headed that direction.
And the direction we're headed is the attitude of the Greek people.
They are in debt to the point they are about to default, folks.
They're in just horrible, horrible shape.
Greece is not a self-sufficient country.
So they had a vote on more austerity measures.
The people of Greece were asked to vote on cutting back social services and all kinds of crazy welfare state things.
And they said, if no, if you f no, we're not cutting back a thing.
We are not going to be held prisoner to debt hostage.
Or debt bondage.
That's the new term.
Debt bondage is when the people who've loaned you money want you to pay it back.
If that's you, you are in debt bondage.
You shouldn't have to pay back what people give you.
You shouldn't have to pay back what they loan you.
And if they demand to be paid back, then you are living in debt bondage.
That's what the finance minister said.
So I was reading my tent blogs over the weekend.
And the reason I do this is because it's, folks, it's a beeline to the millennial mind.
I'm not trying to pummel you with my hobby here.
It's a beeline to the millennial mind.
Try this.
For those outside Europe who may not have seen too much news coverage, a combination of a long history of low levels of tax collection and the global financial crash has left Greece unable to pay its debts.
So here you have a young millennial who thinks the problem in Greece is under taxation.
They're not taxing themselves enough.
And they're not paying their taxes enough.
Now, there is some truth to that, but that's not why they're in trouble.
They're in trouble because the country is made up of slothful.
They're just, it's a lounge act.
I mean, they're just people sitting around.
The whole country's become a hammock.
Not a safety net.
And the UK Daily Mail has the most incredible story.
It's actually a story on a book written by James Angelos.
And this is where the story of taxation really surfaced because he's his book looks at widespread tax evasion and benefit fraud.
There's an island, one of the Greek islands.
498 people pretend to be blind to get blind benefits.
They're not blind.
I mean, some of them have 2020 vision.
Another thing that's happened, the super rich have bought camouflage tents for their swimming pools so that tax authorities cannot see that they have pools so that they can avoid tax.
But this new book is filled with example after example of widespread benefits fraud and tax avoidance.
And it is incredible.
680 people live on this island, 498 claim to be blind, and they are not.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg about the kind of welfare state this country has become.
And so they they had this referendum vote on whether to tighten down Government services, they can't afford this.
They're about to go into default.
It would be the first country to do this.
And the whole European Union is teetering as a result.
Because the European Union doesn't have the money to bail them out of debt bondage.
And they're they're laying they're leaning on Angela Merkel in Germany.
And they voted and they said, screw you, we're not giving back a thing.
We're not paying more taxes.
You make it work.
Because we're not gonna work.
It's the most amazing thing.
And I just I can see I can see this in our future.
I mean, not the whole population, but we're already trending that way in uh wide swaths of our population.
Anyway, more tomorrow on this.
That's it for today, my friends.
Another big exciting, busy broadcast day in the can.
By the way, Susan Hirschner's picture.
We have put it up on the top of the homepage at Rush Limbaugh.com.
And we be right back tomorrow, folks.
