0:00

Alright, So look at that headline right there, Republicans

0:02

and Democrats clash over police

0:05

reform. You know what this is about. This

0:07

is about an actual piece of legislation

0:10

that is being argued and debated

0:13

in the United States Senate. And

0:15

I did a double take because that's that's not

0:17

how laws are made in our country anymore. The

0:19

Senate in the House don't actually do anything anymore

0:22

because they're all afraid to Our

0:24

laws come from regulators, unelected

0:26

bureaucrats, and our judges. That has

0:28

just been demonstrated by these Supreme

0:30

Court decisions. Josh

0:33

Holly from Missouri got it exactly

0:35

right when he was complaining

0:37

about gorstch and the decisions

0:40

on the sexual discrimination cases

0:42

being lapped into the nine four

0:45

Civil Rights Act. You know, to put

0:48

this in perspective to show you how we

0:51

conservatives and look, folks, I don't

0:53

want to dispirit you here. I've already got a

0:55

story here appolling data that

0:58

suh well,

1:00

but poll shows that half of Americans

1:03

are unhappy. What is that in

1:05

the actual headline? Yeah,

1:08

Americans are unhappiest they've been

1:10

in fifty years. Not in half of Americans unhappiest

1:13

and they've been in fifty years. Does

1:16

that not make sense? But

1:18

but but here, I don't want to disparage

1:21

you here, But do we ever hear about

1:24

liberal judges not

1:28

advancing the liberal cause we do

1:30

not. They never make a mistake

1:32

when they appoint a judge. Isn't that amazing?

1:35

They never get fooled. They

1:38

appointed judge, and that judge knows

1:40

his job. That judge is to write the law

1:43

as it uh should be

1:45

under liberalism, we don't

1:47

do that. We have these people that

1:49

that fed that that rate judges

1:52

and recommend them to the president. And

1:54

we picked the best conservatives we can find

1:56

based non conservative principles and so forth.

1:58

Didn't we roll the dice? But

2:02

the bottom line, conservative judges do not consider

2:04

themselves at

2:07

all like liberal judges do. How

2:09

you might say, well, that's the way it ought to be, you

2:11

know, to be that way. They ought to judge cases based

2:14

on the law, not their agenda. Well, that's why we

2:16

keep losing because

2:18

we are not We're not on the playing field. We're

2:23

not We're not. We

2:25

are engaged in a battle for the kind

2:28

of country we're gonna have. Why

2:30

do you think the American people are

2:32

suggesting that they're more unhappy than they've

2:35

ever been. None of what's happening now is

2:37

normal. None of what's

2:39

happening now is anything people would

2:41

design, including

2:44

the lockdowns, the shutdowns, the pandemic,

2:46

the ineffective way of dealing with it, the fake

2:49

news, all

2:51

of these public protests, all these

2:53

malcontents. Look at what we've done,

2:56

Lyndon Johnson Civil Rights Act nineteen

2:58

sixty four. What have we have. We had a great society,

3:01

We've had the war on poverty. We've had

3:04

over four trillion dollars

3:06

of wealth transferred two

3:08

producers from producers, taxpayers

3:12

to um to people who were discriminated

3:14

against, their worse off today than they were

3:17

before all this happened. This is one

3:19

of Shelby Steele's big points. After

3:22

all of this supposed help, it's

3:25

one of my big points to after

3:27

all of this help, after all this compassion,

3:29

after all this assistance provided

3:32

by the Democrat Party, we've got

3:34

an angrier population of minorities

3:37

than we have ever had. And

3:40

most people in this country do not think

3:42

they're racist. They think they've gone out of their

3:44

way to avoid being racists. They've

3:47

gone out of their way to be accommodating.

3:49

They've gone out of their way to be sympathetic. It

3:51

doesn't compute. Most

3:53

people are asked, what the hell else can

3:56

I do? Now? If you

3:58

get into the millennial demograph, pick

4:00

they're not old enough to have had this perspective yet.

4:03

And I have mentioned the past couple of days,

4:07

and this is true that the

4:10

vast majority of

4:13

violent protests, not all, but

4:15

the vast majority of violent

4:17

protests are being conducted by white

4:20

millennial kids. And

4:23

in that group, it's a hell of a

4:25

lot of women. They have been

4:27

totally their minds and

4:29

brains have been totally commandeered.

4:32

You you parents who

4:34

have kids at college or recently

4:37

were at college and have come you

4:39

know exactly what I'm talking about. After two

4:41

years there, they come home and they start telling you how

4:43

you're racist, you're destroying the planet

4:45

with climate change, you have you're

4:48

you're listening to complaints about your parenting

4:51

and the way you from the country that you don't

4:53

even recognize. But

4:55

your kids have been indoctrinated to believe

4:58

that this country is white privileged,

5:00

it's white systemic, it's not a

5:02

white Uh. Get

5:05

these two terms confused white white privlic white

5:07

supremacy, and

5:10

the dangerous thing is. I've seen that,

5:12

and I've had parents call here to start agreeing

5:14

with their kids. Their kids are

5:16

coming over in college and persuading them that they're right.

5:19

So then when the kids go to Seattle start burning

5:22

things down, the parents are proud of them.

5:25

Other people, what what the hell has happened to our country?

5:28

There's there? What is? What is there to be if

5:30

you take it in the big picture of things right? And what is there to

5:32

be happy about? Well, we're alive,

5:36

but that doesn't count because everybody takes

5:38

that for granted. Every day. Uh,

5:41

let's see economy maybe coming back. Well

5:43

we have, but there you notice that there's

5:45

an effort to try to dispirit you on

5:47

that there

5:50

is an effort it is ongoing

5:52

and never ending to depress you, to

5:55

dispirit you. I

5:59

just m I

6:01

find I find so much of this totally

6:06

explainable. Why people are

6:08

the unhappy. Look at this

6:10

headline, Manhattan DA refuses

6:16

declines to prosecute

6:18

the man arrested who committed vandalism

6:21

against St. Patrick's Cathedral. Do

6:24

you realize how often this is happening all

6:26

over the country. The vandals, the

6:31

rioters, the looters,

6:34

None of them are being prosecuted. Why

6:37

do you think that is well,

6:40

because at the root of it is Black Lives Matter,

6:43

and everybody is scared to death of him,

6:46

literally scared to death of them,

6:49

and so it's just the path of least resistance.

6:52

Okay, we catch somebody

6:54

looting, we catch a bunch of people looting,

6:57

mandalizing, no

7:00

prosecution. There's

7:04

this firm out there that has raised

7:06

thirty million dollars to

7:09

bail some of these perps

7:11

out of jail. You know how much they've spent

7:15

as of yesterday, two dollars.

7:17

So there's twenty nine million, eight

7:20

hundred thousand dollars hasn't been spent yet

7:22

that has been raised on bail

7:25

for Black Lives Matter and other type

7:27

purps. Where where's that money? Where's

7:29

that money going? I'll guarandamnt you that money is

7:31

going right to the Democrat Party.

7:34

It's going right to the presidential campaign,

7:36

It's going right to the Democrat National Committee.

7:40

What do you mean where's it going? The

7:42

only place it can go? And I all

7:46

of this talk about these police departments and

7:50

how racist they are, and

7:54

how how how bigoted, and

7:56

and how out of control they are, didn't

7:59

Obama and

8:02

Eric Holder have the Department

8:04

of Justice take over something like thirty

8:06

six of these police departments under consent

8:08

decrees. They took over

8:10

police departments from Oakland to

8:13

Baltimore. I I tried

8:15

in Saint loud Vitt, Ferguson, Uh,

8:17

dozens of cities in between. And

8:21

you know why they did it. These

8:24

consent decrees are well known.

8:26

It was the way Obama wanted

8:28

to federalize local

8:31

police forces. He

8:35

and Holder had this as an objective, federalized,

8:38

having me federal government control

8:41

over as much as possible, including

8:43

local policing. Thirty

8:47

six American police departments

8:49

were taken over

8:51

by the federal government. They were demanded,

8:53

they were told that they had to do certain things and

8:56

if they couldn't that the consent decree would

8:58

apply. And they were given impossible

9:00

conditions to meet. And

9:02

so a number of these police departments, and I'm

9:04

not kidding Oakland Bolivar ended

9:08

up under the control of the

9:11

federal government. So how

9:14

can there be any police

9:16

racism or brutality after

9:20

police departments have been under the enlightened

9:22

control of the Obama Holder

9:24

administration. How does that happen?

9:30

How is it that places that have been run

9:32

by the Democrat Party

9:34

for decades. How

9:36

is it that there's any racism

9:39

anywhere in these cities, much less just

9:41

the police department. The

9:43

Democrat Party promises to end

9:46

all of that, and they promised to punish

9:48

all the people responsible for it, US

9:51

Conservative Republicans, And

9:54

yet we don't have a presence in the navy any

9:57

of these cities where we have any ability to

10:00

shape the law or regulations.

10:03

This is all on the Democrat Party.

10:05

And I'll tell you, I think a lot of these statues

10:07

coming down and all of this stuff going on, I

10:10

think it is Democrats doing

10:12

the best to get rid of their

10:15

symbols of failure. Like

10:18

the Democrats are doing everything they can

10:22

to divert everybody's attention away

10:24

from what has been decades

10:27

of failure, failed promises,

10:30

failed implementations of policy.

10:32

Is virtually everything they've been promising,

10:35

particularly minority communities, hasn't

10:39

come to pass. The minority communities are angrier

10:41

today than they've ever been. After

10:44

four trillion dollars, a transfer of wealth

10:46

for the Great Society programs and me um

10:50

war on poverty, all of those things that LBJ

10:53

created. Listen

10:57

to Shelby Steel. He will tell you that

10:59

the black community in terms

11:01

of education, in terms of jobs,

11:03

in terms of standard of living, they were all

11:05

doing better, including in Harlem.

11:07

They were all doing better before the

11:09

War on Poverty, before the

11:12

Great Society. And

11:15

he will tell you that the Great Society was not

11:17

in the War on poverty. It was not. They were

11:19

not about actually

11:21

improving the lives of African Americans.

11:25

They were all about improving the political

11:27

prospects of politicians

11:29

who supported the legislation. It

11:34

was the greatest example of I care

11:37

you've ever seen. It had gazillion

11:39

dollar price tax to it, It

11:42

had all kinds of blame, It

11:46

had all kinds of promises. But

11:49

as we know now, we could watch the country

11:51

burn in various blue cities

11:53

after various blue cities, in various

11:56

blue states, and we can see

11:58

by the evidence in our eyes that

12:01

there hasn't been anything that

12:03

the Democrat Party has engaged in that

12:06

has made one person

12:09

in the minority community they claim to serve

12:11

happy. I'm still zeroed in on this,

12:13

uh story. Uh,

12:17

the the Americans are unhappiest that they've

12:20

been in fifty years. Pole Shoal. By the way,

12:21

that this poll was taken by something

12:24

called Nork you know r

12:26

C. This is not defined in this stupid

12:28

story, so I don't know what it

12:30

is. It's it's it's NORK at the University

12:32

of Chicago, so

12:35

I've never heard of it. Um.

12:38

The senior research scientist with NORK

12:42

at the University of Chicago is Louise

12:44

Hawkley, and

12:48

she says that well, loneliness

12:52

surprisingly was not more prevalent

12:54

among people who claim that they're unhappier

12:57

than ever. Loneliness

12:59

is not as high as it could be. People to figure

13:01

out a way to connect with others. It is not satisfactory,

13:03

but people are managing just

13:06

some extent um. Most

13:08

of it, I guess is based

13:10

on people's fear for their kids economic

13:13

future, which

13:16

makes total sense, I mean, um,

13:19

although that's a common parental concern

13:22

in in good times as well. So

13:25

apparently is a new China outbreak

13:28

in in pay Beijing. It's

13:30

caused them to halt

13:33

flights, to shut schools, residents

13:35

just as they were in Wuhana not being

13:37

rounded up and sent to who knows where. So

13:42

it's if you, depending on the fake

13:44

news you look at, you can find any reason in

13:46

the world to be unhappy. As the point Carolyn

13:48

in Virginia Beach. You're up first today.

13:51

Great to have you other program. Hello, why

13:53

thank you for listening to me

13:55

and mega prayers and diddos. I

13:59

was just going to say that I think

14:01

that the unhappiness

14:03

is just another sign that Trump is going to

14:05

win again. Okay,

14:11

UM, tell me why

14:14

so? Because it's the same

14:16

thing like it was back in two thousand sixteen

14:18

where we were forced not to speak the

14:20

truth, the same thing

14:22

is happening all over again. You're not allowed

14:25

to raise your voice, show

14:27

your flag, um,

14:29

and because the cancel culture will come down

14:32

on you hard. You see all these companies

14:34

out there really honestly making

14:36

fools of themselves with all of this stuff.

14:39

And I'm I've been doing a lot of reading

14:41

and and listening, and I feel

14:44

like there's gonna be many

14:46

more Black Americans voting for Trump

14:48

than the left wants to admit,

14:51

and so they're just trying to continue

14:53

to scare us. You. It's really hard to find

14:55

anything positive to listen

14:58

to on the media or to read

15:00

these days. But when you do find something like

15:02

I found something last night where um,

15:05

this woman who was sounds like she was

15:07

a pretty flaming liberal went

15:09

to his Trump rally and actually

15:12

enjoyed herself and says she's going to vote for

15:14

Trump, and um, so

15:16

I just think that they're just they're

15:19

we're being scared and

15:21

we just have to stand up for the troops

15:23

and for our country. And one more thing, Tim

15:26

Scott today did an amazing job

15:28

with this whole police reform which they also

15:30

don't want us to get They don't want Trump to

15:32

get through. And you want to talk about somebody

15:35

four, I think Tim Scott is in there too,

15:38

because could you explain

15:40

something to me, Caroline,

15:43

don't get mad at me, folks. What is it in

15:45

this reform bill that Tim Scott and these other guys

15:47

are planning? What

15:50

is it? I mean, you like it? What? What? What's

15:52

in it? You're thinking? I don't know that I necessarily

15:54

like it, but I feel like some of the stuff

15:56

that especially if they can came down

15:59

the the unions.

16:01

I mean, unfortunately, I know that the

16:03

union's help good cops

16:05

sometimes, but it might be that there

16:08

helping bad cops more than more helping

16:10

good cops. Until they were talking something about

16:13

dealing with the unions a little bit. I'm

16:15

not sure about the whole choke cloding my

16:17

nephew is a police officer, and I

16:19

know that it's really hard to take people down sometimes.

16:22

But the things that we've

16:24

been shown, I bet you have a mean show

16:26

called you sound like somebody have a mean

16:28

choker. You sound like a no nonsense chokeholder.

16:31

Well you're you're They're not going to get

16:33

me, all right.

16:36

Well, I appreciate the call. I understand. I

16:38

understand the sentiment that with

16:40

this poll out there was so much American

16:42

and unhappiness, it pretty much translates

16:45

into a Donald Trump re

16:48

election. Now, keep in mind, and

16:50

I don't have to tell you this that the media

16:54

medium not they're not media whatever,

16:56

whatever, the Democrats and mean whatever the hell

16:59

they are, they are attempting

17:01

to the reason for this pole more

17:04

Americans that are unhappy to because of Trump,

17:07

because of what Trump's done, because

17:10

of the mockery Trump is made of the White

17:13

House and the presidency, and Trump's the reason

17:15

people are unhappy. Trump's the

17:17

reason they're burning down cities. Trump is the reason

17:19

that white cops think they can go out and kill black

17:22

for the Trump's that they're trying to throw

17:24

all of this off on Trump, either

17:27

directly or

17:30

indirectly, but

17:33

regardless how they're trying it. They want

17:35

that to be the conclusion.

17:38

Folks, I'm telling I'll take one more time. What they're

17:40

really trying to do is

17:42

convinced all of you Trump voters that

17:44

none of this would be happening if

17:47

you hadn't elected Trump in the first place, that

17:49

you ultimately responsible for this, that

17:52

these people will tell you know, we'll go back to

17:55

being saying we will go back to

17:57

being cooperative and nice, not

17:59

what you get to that guy. You have ruined his

18:01

country by electing that guy. And here's

18:03

the reason that we've gone and saying he's the reason we're

18:05

crazy. You elected him.

18:08

You get rid of him, and I guarantee you they'll

18:10

say the country you'll get back to normal and none

18:12

of this will continue. That's what they want

18:14

you to believe. However,

18:17

they go about convincing you of it. They

18:19

want you to believe all this is your fault, it's

18:21

your responsibility. You elected the guy, and

18:24

you stand by him,

18:26

that everything they're doing is justified because

18:28

he's so dangerous, he's so unqualified, he's

18:30

so stupid. Their

18:33

insanity is justified because

18:36

of Donald Trump, and you made

18:38

it happen. Just

18:40

trying to warn you of the pressure that you are

18:43

going to be under incoming months.

18:45

Here's Diane and Allantown, Pennsylvania.

18:48

You're next. Hello, good afternoon,

18:51

Rush. Thank you for taking my calls every

18:53

day for you. Thank you. Okay,

18:56

so um, what I've been thinking about is

18:58

while we have citizens

19:01

of the country imposing

19:03

and infringing and impinging on

19:06

the rights of other citizens with these

19:08

uh Marxists UH takeovers

19:11

and marches and these all the

19:13

anarchy, well our government

19:16

is focusing on is reforming

19:18

the police. Once again,

19:20

we're bending over to

19:23

make the left happy

19:26

while practically ignoring what they're doing.

19:29

Now, I'd like to know what you think about that. I think that

19:32

is right on

19:34

the money

19:36

than I started the program

19:39

talking about the Senate

19:41

doing legislation on police reform and how

19:44

unusual it is ex

19:46

actually see the Senate or the House actually

19:48

working on a bill because legislation

19:51

doesn't come from me Congress

19:53

anymore, comes from judges or from unregulated,

19:57

unelected regulators up on various

20:00

cabinet levels. But I think you're

20:02

exactly right, and but that this is what happens,

20:04

This is exactly what Republicans do.

20:07

So let's go back to two thousand

20:09

nine. Barack who's

20:11

saying, oh, is

20:14

the president and we've known

20:16

since the campaign of two thou eight that

20:18

he was going to try to

20:20

nationalize American healthcare and that was going to be

20:23

called Obamacare, and we

20:25

are expecting our party

20:27

to push back on this. There

20:30

is no way the Republican Party

20:32

is for socioalized medicine.

20:35

There is no way the Republican Party

20:38

is for single payer. And a bunch of Republicans

20:40

ran for office in two thousand eight on

20:42

that promise to oppose it. So

20:46

Obama brings it up, and what's the Republican

20:49

response. Okay, but we

20:51

think we can do it better, We think we can

20:53

do it smarter. They were afraid

20:56

to oppose Obama because what

20:59

race. They were scared

21:02

to death to oppose Obama,

21:04

to criticize the Obama and disagree

21:06

with Obama on anything. And

21:09

so that's when the Tea Party erupted.

21:12

A bunch of people who had never

21:14

formally been involved in politics came

21:17

out of the woodwork organically.

21:19

They were upset at all the spending, they

21:22

were upset at the legislation itself.

21:24

The Republican Party and Democrat Party

21:26

were blindsided by

21:29

it, there was no

21:31

singular leader to attack to destroy

21:33

it, and they

21:35

were opposed. They were scared to death

21:38

of the Tea Party, so they immediately created Occupy

21:40

Wall Street as a supposed

21:43

organic Democrat uprising. But

21:45

the bottom line is that

21:48

the Republican reaction was

21:50

not to push back, but

21:53

rather to say, we think we can do it smarter.

21:56

It was a pure pander. Now

21:59

we have police reform,

22:01

don't forget. There

22:04

are two elements of this, and one

22:06

of them is an executive order by the President.

22:09

And then we have this legislation that Tim Scott

22:11

and others are running in the Senate contain

22:14

opportunity zones and and some

22:16

other things. But you're writes the same thing. Okay,

22:19

so a bunch of cops, well,

22:23

let me rephrase that, a few cops

22:27

do some really stupid, disgusting

22:30

things, and

22:33

protests and discord erupt all

22:35

over. At what do we do. We

22:38

act like it's our fault, we

22:41

act like they're right, it's our fault. We've

22:43

got to prove to them that we're

22:45

not like those cops. We

22:48

got to prove to them that we're not racist.

22:50

So look what we're gonna come up with? A police

22:53

reform bill. Pelosi

22:55

and Schumer sit there and smile. They

22:58

don't have to do diddly squad act. They can

23:00

oppose it all day long as it doesn't

23:02

go far enough. Pelosi

23:05

can sit there and say, I'm gonna kill this

23:07

bill by throwing a bunch of spending in it

23:09

that you can't possibly support. You

23:11

think they're gonna let the Republicans get away with

23:13

winning this? I

23:16

think. Do you think they're gonna let the Republicans succeed

23:19

in carrying the mantle of police reformists

23:23

into the presidential election. There's no

23:25

way. But

23:29

you're right. It's not pushedback. It's

23:31

the exact opposite. It's

23:34

some people call it pandering. Other people would

23:36

call it path at least resistance

23:40

or what have you. Regardless, what it does is

23:43

accept the status quo and

23:45

accept that we might do

23:48

We might be somewhat

23:50

responsible for it. No, we might be what

23:52

We'll fix it because

23:55

it's just so much easier to tell these

23:57

people go to hell and straight

24:00

nothing, fly right and stop the bs. Nobody's

24:06

inclined to do that. Nobody

24:09

is inclined to say that. There's not a single I

24:11

don't I don't know of a single elected

24:14

official who will say that to

24:17

any of the vandals, any of the looters, and the

24:19

people that are destroying and rioting and common

24:22

during private property. We've

24:26

got prosecutors that are vacating

24:28

charges against people who

24:30

have been caught after looting

24:32

Macy's, after having been caught

24:35

burning down buildings and stores. Prosecutors

24:37

are racing in Los Angeles, at

24:40

California, New York. They are racing to

24:44

absolve these purps and to announce

24:46

they won't be charged. I

24:49

mean, it

24:52

couldn't be

24:54

being handled in a worse way than what we

24:56

are witnessing.
