Time Text
The saga continues.
A man, a legend, a way of life.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone, yet again, yet another excursion into broadcast excellence.
800 282882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
It was just yesterday that we had the audio sound bites from Black Lives Matter.
And the representative there talking with Hillary Clinton.
And of course, the Black Lives Matter gang have been showing up and disrupting Democrat personal appearances by Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders.
And in both instances, Bernie Sanders allowed the Black Lives Matter Matter mob to come attack his stage and take over his microphone, and he slinked away in cowardice.
And Martin O'Malley did the same thing.
Martin O'Malley made the mistake of saying all lives matter.
And to the Black Lives Matter gang, that is not the way to talk about this if you're a Democrat.
So these clowns happened to show up where Hillary was, and they had a discussion back and forth.
And the long and short of it was that Mrs. Clinton told this guy that if he was not going to be willing to have dialogue with her, that she would stop reaching out to black people about this and just keep talking to white people about it.
Because this guy had told her that white people can't possibly understand what this is all about.
If they don't understand black lives matter, they're hopeless.
And uh Hillary said, okay, fine, and I'll just keep talking to white now.
With that looking you, if a Republican had been talking to a black activist, and said, All right, if that's your attitude, I'm just gonna keep talking to white people.
Can you imagine that would be the lead story about that Republican candidate for hours, maybe a full day.
It didn't even get mentioned with Hillary.
And I've already told you what the real import of that was when Hillary said that she doesn't believe you can change minds.
She told this guy, now you can't change minds or hearts.
We need new law.
We need the force of government to make people behave the way we want them to.
It was a really eye-opening.
Well, turns out, ladies and gentlemen, you know, there's a there's a news organization out there that commits random acts of journalism multiple times a day.
It used to be called the UK Daily Mail.
It has become so popular and so often cited by me and others that they have changed their name to the Daily Mail.
They are now a global news organization.
And they have hit a home run again.
They have discovered that the Black Lives Matter organizer is white.
Black Lives Matter organizer and Oprah Winfrey scholarship recipient, who claims he has been the victim of a hate crime, has been revealed to be white.
Sean King, an author and writer who is one of the leading voices speaking out against police brutality on social media, has claimed that he is mixed race.
But a report now claims that he is white, citing a police report that labels him as white and claiming his parents on his birth certificate are both white, and they have found the birth certificate, they found the police report as backup.
Sean King applied for and then accepted an Oprah Winfrey scholarship to Morehouse College, only given to black men.
He also called the vicious attack he suffered in Haskell a hate crime that was motivated by race.
This is this is the male version of racial dolezole.
That babe that ran the Seattle NAA LCP office revealed to be white.
Now here comes this clown, Sean King, organizer of Black Lives Matter, is a white guy.
And he makes himself look black.
He only allows black and white pictures of himself, number one.
And he has hair and uh Mustache eyebrows.
He's done what he can to make himself look at least mixed race in black and white photos.
A key figure in the Black Lives Matter movement who claimed he was the victim of horrific hate crime in his youth as a result of his race has been outed as white.
Sean King, an author, but no matter where you look, on the left is nothing but frauds.
Everywhere you go, every organization that exists, there is some element of fraud sometimes at the very top of it.
I don't know why they can't get qualified black.
Why does the NAALCP in Seattle need a white babe as the leader?
And why does black lives matter need a white point man?
Now, yeah, we can discuss how it happens.
I think I know how it happens.
I don't think there's any mystery how this happens.
These kids get propagandized and indoctrinated in school, and they are just guilt-ridden, like you can't believe.
From the moment they go to organized education, maybe kindergarten, maybe uh elementary school, whatever they start hearing about all the crimes committed by white people in this country since the days founding, and they just, after a while, can't take any more, but they feel so overwhelmingly guilty.
I mean, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here.
This guy just could be an out and round fraudster.
Uh, and and nothing more than that.
I'm I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, that the members of Black Lives Matter, people storming Bernie Sanders, yeah, they're black.
But I mean, what does it say here that the organizer, the guy who put it together, is white by the name of Sean King.
I'll tell you, folks, these institutions, they're just crumbling all over the place.
Did you see what happened?
They just indicted this uh Subway guy, what's his name?
Jared, something or other child.
Jared Fogel.
Yeah, remember this guy burst on the scene?
He lost something like uh what, 150 pounds and claimed he did it by eating it subway every day.
That's all he did was eat Subway.
So Subway hires the guy, becomes their official spokesman, he has all their TV ads and print ads.
Goes on for years, and later it's discovered that he's into child porn and a number of other things.
And today, the Justice Department announced some sort of deal.
I'm just watching on T. I don't know if he agreed to uh plea bargain, admitted it, or if they got a conviction or what have you, but he admitted guilt in a plea plea, plea deal.
Okay.
So he's he's uh, and he's gonna pay his victims a hundred thousand dollars each.
This guy was a hero, and this guy was a major American celebrity.
A role model for many.
Here's the guy that knew how to lose weight, go out and eat it subway or whatever.
So you have that guy, Rachel Dolezole.
And then you have this guy, Sean King at uh at Black Lives Matter.
I think this tops Rachel Dolezole, because Rachel Dolezal was just one NAALCP office.
You know, Seattle.
This is an entire nationwide movement, nationwide organization.
By the way, ladies and grab the uh uh we have a special greeting here from the Clintons on the uh on the uh Lewinsky uh anniversary.
Grab that mic.
We just got it from white comedian uh Paul Shanklin.
Uh we had a story yesterday on the remember the fatwa story that led this program yesterday that there was a fatwa that was issued in Bahrain, which Wendy, you'll love this.
You'll love this.
In Bahrain, men, Islamic men were granted permission to use hallucinogenic drugs if their wives were ugly, so that they would have sex with this.
They could dream that they were having sex with a model or some other good-looking woman.
They were married to ugly women, there is a fat law allowing them to take drugs so that they do not know that the woman they're married to that they're having sex with is ugly.
This was highly intriguing to Bill Clinton.
Ha.
Are you?
We have a we have a new syndrome.
I think I'm Black Syndrome.
Rachel Dolazal, Sean King, Black Lives Matter.
Anyway, I mentioned ladies and gentlemen, new CNN poll, and there is a meltdown at CNN over it.
Heads are exploding.
Donald Trump now competitive in the general election.
You know, there's so much going on here.
I I uh I just I read a piece today in the Nueva Auto Post.
I think it is a column by by John Pedoritz.
Uh John Pedorz, I feel confident in saying, is not in the Donald Trump camp.
Pedoritz wrote a piece, has a piece, which basically says that the polling data we've got now is meaningless.
That we don't know what to believe.
Because it's so early, and it's well, I don't have the piece in front of me, so I I can't recall all the specific things he cites as reasons or evidence that we shouldn't put a lot of faith in the polls.
Now, it is what it is, but I I look, I have to note, and I like Pedoritz.
He's he's uh he's a good guy.
But the inside the Beltway establishment lives and dies with polls.
I I I've rarely, I don't recall too many times reading pieces that discount polls because they're not reliable or their timing is not good or what have you.
But it is it is look the point is it is clear that Trump has just upset the entire inside the beltway political apparatus, both parties.
They're bamboozled.
They have no idea what's happening here.
They can't explain it, they don't yet think that it is real.
They still think this is an aberration.
They still think one of many things is going to happen.
Either Trump's running a scam, and whenever he gets what he really wants out of this, he's gonna bow out.
That's one theory.
Another theory is that the public will eventually catch up.
This is early, that this is August, but when we get into the latter part of the year and into the beginning of next year with the Hawkeye Cockeye and the New Hampshire primary, the American people will start to get serious, and this will become less and less of a game and less and less of a personality show.
The American people will get serious realizing that they can't play around here by supporting a non-professional.
Uh these and other variations of these theories are being bandied about.
There's oh, there's another theory also that you people who support Trump are just having a temper tantrum.
Child-like temper tantrums.
There are some, even in the Republican inside the Beltway establishment referring to Trump supporters as low information voters.
Now, on this program, low information voters have been exclusively brain-dead people that vote Democrat out of habit or by rote because they don't know anything else.
But the inside the Beltway Republican establishment has co-opted the term low information voter, invented and created by me, by the way, to now apply to you who support Donald Trump.
The fact is there they can't make sense of this.
In the hill.com that folks, this is uh Bush donors not panicking, which means Bush donors are panicking.
Why would you run a story that the Bush donors are not panicking?
Should they be?
Why are you doing the story?
This is not the way this was supposed to be.
Bush was not supposed to be in the lower tier.
Bush, because of his fundraising, was supposed to scare everybody else out of the race.
That's why they put together this massive fundraising operation.
The purpose of that was to scare all these hangers on out.
To tell them you can't compete.
Jeb has the money.
We're going to hang around.
We'd rather not destroy you, but we will if we have to.
So the money was supposed to be a message to get out and don't play here.
This is the big boys, and you're not one.
Jeb is it.
Well, it's upside down.
Jeb's in the lower tier.
He does have a lot of money raised.
And now, and by the way, the same story can be written about Hillary and donors.
I mean, you if you're a Hillary donor and you've spent who knows how many millions of dollars you've already bought access if you're a foreign government.
You've already bought access on the cum.
You're already paying for Hillary Clinton favors as president.
You are a donor in Hollywood or wherever, and you're donating to Hillary, and all you read in the newspaper is she might go to jail.
Will she be indicted?
Have crimes been committed.
I'm telling you the donors to both of these leading candidates have to be nervous here.
And for the Hill to write a piece, Bush donors not panicking yet.
I think it means they are.
Really, why would you somebody's talking about it?
I guess they got a story here to refute it, but it means it's being talked about by somebody.
And uh so they can't figure it out.
They just they just don't know.
And at CNN they're melting down over their poll that shows that Trump has moved within six of Hillary in the general election.
That was really not supposed to be this is their worst nightmare.
They never thought it could happen.
It turns everything they think they know upside down.
Here is a montage of drive-bys exploding before your very eyes.
For the first time, Donald Trump poses a serious threat to Clinton.
The new numbers show the Donald is within striking distance.
Donald Trump is gaining more ground in the presidential race.
He trails Hillary Clinton by just six points.
In a general election matchup, Donald Trump is catching up now, just six points behind her.
Clinton is now leading Donald Trump by only six points.
This is a dramatic tightening.
Donald Trump breathing down her neck, posing a serious challenge for the first time.
Hillary Clinton barely leads in a hypothetical matchup against Donald Trump.
Just six points there.
That is really remarkable.
That was George Stephanopoulos there, the architect of the war on women there at the very end saying, This is just remarkable.
They don't believe it.
Now on uh Squawkbox on CNBC this morning, Andrew Ross Sorkin spoke with F. Chuck Todd of Meet the Press.
And he said to F. Chuck, you know, there's a there was an argument to be made that once Trump started talking about policy, that it gets tougher for him.
When he starts talking about policy, get specific.
That's when Trump exposes himself as a neophyte, and everybody learns he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Except Chuck, that isn't happening.
It doesn't look like that's happening, Chuck, at least from the polls.
Chuck, what does this mean?
Let's just look at immigration.
He's taken, it's not just immigration, the issue of birthright citizenship, and he's just plopped it right down, straightforward into the entire field, and it's totally divided the Republican field.
And it's put, frankly, I think, unless Bush or Rubio's a nominee, they're really the only two candidates that said no to ending birthright citizenship.
I think this becomes a bridge too far for Hispanic voters in a general election.
They haven't been right yet.
In every bit of this kind of analysis, they haven't been right.
So birthright citizenship, Trump attacks it.
That means he's gonna lose Hispanic voters and Republicans are, except Trump is leading in them.
Everything they believe is turned upside down.
Folks, I have to take a break.
Uh, we're gonna get to your phone calls when we come back.
Sit tight.
Rushland bought 800-282-2882.
Don't go anywhere.
And back to the phones we go.
This is uh this is Paul in Akron, Ohio.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Make it digulous, Rush.
Uh thank you for taking my call.
Certainly told me to get to the point, so I'll do this.
The Planned Parenthood video that you talked about where uh babies are being dismembered while they're still alive, uh, is symptomatic of a culture uh uh that treats people as property, as commodities.
You've been talking about it, how Hillary uh says that people should be need to be controlled by laws.
Yeah, what's the difference between the slaves in the eighteen hundreds that had shackles around their legs and laws that shackle our freedom uh now.
Uh it's just it's it's just all part of the same thing.
It's just a culture where people need to be controlled, they need to be enslaved, uh, they have no freedom, and we're bringing up uh we're encouraging a legal aliens to come into this country.
Uh it's no different than uh slaves being brought over from Africa, where basically they're again they're treated as commodities.
They're doing the same jobs the slaves did in the eighteen hundreds, working in the farms, doing menior, and all for the hope of, well, maybe we'll give you a little bit of money, uh we keep you off the books, you know, it's a better life, so and so quote unquote.
Look, I I realize what you're saying.
So the analogy here is not quite uh complete.
Slaves by definition were not paid.
Um and the illegal aliens are somehow, some way, uh those who work.
But look, I get look, I get I get your drift.
Um your your basic point is that there has been a cheapening and a coarsening of the entire notion of the sanctity of life throughout our culture.
And that is I know what you believe.
You you believe that is at the root, or is the foundation of so many things falling apart culturally.
For example, I know what he means, folks, because I'm host.
And the in the in the case of the uh I I'm I'm gonna stop calling this illegal immigration, because I really don't think that's what this is.
I I think we'll go so far as to call it a trap, uh, but it it does it does cause a different way of thinking about it.
If people could change their attitude of what's happening and looking at it as an invasion, or if you don't like that term, how about this?
How about colonization?
You know, the left hates that term, right?
Okay, if you if the word invasion is too much for you, if that makes you uncomfortable, you don't want to think of the daily border crossings as an invasion, then think of it as colonization.
They're not assimilating.
There's no desire to assimilate, and we are not forcing it.
We are making it very easy for subcultures to exist as subsets of the American culture or as within no relationship to the American culture.
And it's destructive.
But his point here is that if life is worth so little that planned parenthood can abort babies that survive the abortion and still kill them while they're alive to harvest body parts for whatever reason, without any national outrage, then we have become a country that doesn't value things like we used to.
And if we're not gonna value life at its earliest stages, then who's gonna care about the way adults are treated, the elderly are treated, or what have you.
And if then you couple that with what we've learned about Mrs. Clinton, that you can't change minds and hearts, and that you shouldn't even try.
Government's job is to force people to behave the way they want.
Well, when you're forcing people to behave the way you want, you have to deny them freedom, which is his point.
And Mrs. Clinton, whether she knows it or not, that's exactly what she said when she was talking to that black lives matter guy.
When she said, you know, he was he was trying to tell her that until she better understands the plight of African Americans, it's worthless to talk to her about it.
And she got mad and said, Well, if that's your attitude, I'm just gonna keep talking to white people because you can't change minds and hearts.
Meaning she's not even interested in understanding who people are and why they do what they do.
She's only interested in how to force people to do what she wants them to do.
You want them to have health insurance.
Okay, here comes Obamacare and forces them to, and if they don't, is either a fine or jail time.
You don't persuade them how it's good.
You don't persuade them it's the best thing for them.
You don't try to sell them.
You don't waste time doing that because that's not what you're not interested in that.
You're interested in behavior.
Forcing behavior you want.
You want, in its fact, not even behavior.
You are demanding enforcing conformity.
And for this to be happening with ever increasing levels, our caller believes there has to be an overall loss of appreciation for the specialness of life.
The official program observer, third time in this monologue interrupting, asking for the opportunity to ask a question.
What's the question?
Do I think what can change hearts?
Planned parenthood video?
If it's seen, yeah, I think I've always thought that if these videos, particularly this one with the woman, I I only saw a still shot, but the woman holding the little fetus in her in her two hands.
Oh, there's no question if people saw what's going on in these clinics.
There would be, I think there'd be a national outrage.
But his point is, why should it take that?
Why can't you hear in words what's happening and be outraged by it?
Look, it's it's I don't want to get distracted by that.
I mean it's because to a certain degree I I accept the point that he's that he tried to make there.
I do think that there is an overall loss in the appreciation for the specialness of life.
And there's all kinds of reasons for it.
I mean, uh look at the number of people watching TV for years or bad people get killed and they're alive the next day.
I mean, what's death really to some people?
Other people, it is final, but they expect to die before they're 25 anyway, so no big deal.
There's just a there's been a ratcheting down of uh expectations, lofty expectations.
Look, here's another way of making the point.
I I saw the James Harrison story, the linebacker for the Steelers who discovered his kids, his two sons won performance or participation trophies, and he was outraged and sent them home, or sent them back to the school, and he told his sons, and he did an Instagram post, he says, I'm my kids are not gonna learn that you get a trophy for showing up.
My kids are not gonna learn that you get a trophy for trying hard.
You only get a trophy for winning something.
Look at the outpouring of people that agreed.
What I think we're seeing here in a number of recent incidents is conclusive evidence that we've not lost the country, that what we've lost is Washington.
We haven't lost the country.
People are still political correctness is a minority thing that somehow has bullied its way into dominance.
People are afraid to make waves because they don't want to call attention to themselves because people in authority can then punish them for it, such as principals and teachers at their kids' schools.
So they let whatever happens, happens, and they just try not to get noticed.
Don't want to make waves.
Everybody sees what happened, a little pizza shop in Indiana.
Everybody sees what happens to these businesses that didn't want to bake a cake or take photos for a gay wedding, and they say, gee, I don't want that kind of treatment.
But privately they're seething, and the first opportunity they have to tell everybody you think this PC is a bunch of junk, they stand up and say so.
There was unanimous, almost unanimous acclaim for what James Harrison did.
So I I think that there is actually uh more positive going on in the country than anybody's aware of because we just don't see it, but we're starting to now in rare rare instances.
But the political correctness angle here, this is a it's a it's a tool created by the left that is essentially censorship, and it aids in enforcing the conformity that Hillary Clinton and other Democrats demand.
Political correctness is a an abject denial of freedom and liberty and a punishment for those who violate it, all rolled into one.
Now, for the longest time, a lot of people have been thinking that it must be a majority view because there's no protest against it whenever it happens.
Except I think that's dead wrong.
I think it's just people are afraid to speak up.
And when something happens like James Harrison and they all have a chance to stand up, or Trump's candidacy, is offering people an opportunity to stand up, be fearless, because there's a leader out there showing the way.
I mean, one thing Trump is doing, I don't care whatever else you think of Trump, but one thing Trump is doing killing political correctness.
He's wiping it out.
He's leaving political correctness in a trail of dust.
He has violated tenets of political correctness from day one, and he is leading in the Republican polls and has pulled within six points of Hillary in a general in the latest CNN poll.
Everything that was supposed to kill his candidacy has not.
It has aided it.
Everything that was supposed to destroy his chances has not done that.
It's done the opposite.
It has enhanced his appeal.
What does it tell you?
It tells you people are fed up.
They're fed up with all kinds of cowardly, quiet, accepting, appeasement-oriented kind of behavior, particularly from people they think are their political leaders.
I think there's a lot happening here in front of our very eyes that happens to be very positive.
And I think people are seeing that themselves.
And the opportunity here, I think we are in the midst here of a profoundly monumental opportunity that nobody could have predicted.
You know, everybody.
I can remember people calling here Rush.
What do you think it is?
It's going to be the tipping point.
There has to be a tipping point.
At some point, people are going to stand up and say, I've had it, I'm not putting up with this anymore.
I have no idea.
I said it's unpredictable.
Who knows what the future is going to be?
Who knows where the bottom is?
Who knows where the event that causes people to stand up and say, screw this, no more, and reject all this stuff from the left.
We could be witnessing it.
Time will tell.
In the meantime, there are clearly very positive things to glean from all of this.
And I think that's what has so many people, whatever we call them in the establishment, the elites or whatever, I think that's why so many of them are bamboozled now.
None of this was seen, none of it's predictable, and in the middle of it, everything that they have predicted was going to happen hasn't.
The exact opposite of what all the smart people tell us, the opposite is happening.
Got to take a brief time out.
Sit there, be back, my friends, before you know it.
Don't go away.
By the way, folks, ESPN reported earlier today that Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots, has agreed to settle this case.
The NFL Players Association of the Union against the league, against the commissioner of the NFL, settle it.
He will accept, so says the ESPN report, a one-game suspension as long as he is suspended not for anything to do with deflate gate, but rather suspended for not cooperating with the investigation.
Now, as an outsider looking at this, as just a fan, and as a former potential owner.
And to me, it's in everybody's interest to get this done and over with and move forward.
You're on the verge of your new season.
It's been going on.
This deflate gate has been going on longer than the season takes to play out, practically.
Nine months here.
I really do.
I understand the pursuit of the integrity of the game.
I understand the league's concern with that.
But I don't understand trying to bury your marquee player.
I mean, that there's got there's something, there's got to be even more than we know that that's behind all this.
Now, people speculate that it has to do with uh the spy gate penalties not being severe enough that some people in the NFL think the Patriots didn't get enough punishment or still are violating rules somehow or somewhat, I don't know.
Or that some owners really have it in for the Patriots and are pressuring Goodell not to.
The NFL's reaction, according to ESPN, the NFL's reaction was sorry, no deal.
You are either gonna take all four games, and you are going to admit what you did, or we will see you in court.
And there are a lot of people stunned by this because they think a settlement isn't everybody's best interests.
And now you've got people.
I've read it.
Now you got people uh oh, is Brady all of a sudden Brady's side makes the first capitulation?
Brady is willing to admit that he did not fully participate.
Brady is willing to admit some guilt.
There must be even more.
So now, with this move, the anti-Brady faction is starting to get some traction here.
Now there's a, I think there's a meeting today before the judge.
Another meeting.
And they've asked the judge for a ruling by September the 4th.
The judge in Philadelphia or New York, his name is Berman.
He says, I can't guarantee you that.
We judges don't move that fast.
We generally work, you know, one day a week.
I'm just making that up.
But dockets move slowly, cases move slowly through uh through courts.
So that's the that's the latest on that.
Brady uh is now he's in West Virginia with a team and have a joint practice with the New Orleans Aints at the uh at the Greenbrier for a couple of days before they have a preseason game.
Here's uh here's Ron in Greeley, Iowa.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Wow, Rush, good to talk to you.
Great show as always.
The Trump phenomenon is not a hundred percent new.
Um everybody forgot about Jesse the Body Ventura.
I'm sure you didn't.
Oh, geez, you know what?
I for can you hang on?
I took your call, I totally ignored the clock.
I didn't look at the clock, and I'm out of time.
I really I'm sorry, my bad.
Good call, bad host.
I this headline is real.
This headline's real.
Associated Press, AP exclusive.
United Nations to let Iran inspect its own alleged nuclear work site.
The UN's gonna let Iran inspect itself on a nuclear violation.
