RUSH: Late yesterday in Chicago on our blowtorch affiliate The Big 89, WLS, reporter Bill Cameron caught up with the mayor, asked him to clarify his comments about gangbangers and kids.<\/p>\n

EMANUEL: Not. Near. Kids. That\u2019s what I mean, Bill. I don\u2019t think they should do anything. But the values are: Our kids are our most important resource. Stay away from them. You don\u2019t belong near them, and take everything that\u2019s associated with being a gang away from them, from the violence to the values that are associated with gangs. Stay away from our children. They\u2019re too important. Okay?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What was that? That was the clarification. That was the clarification. Yesterday Rahm warned the gangbangers to stay away from the kids. We had that bite yesterday, stay away from the kids. So yesterday our man at the Big 89, WLS, Chicago, caught up with Emanuel for a clarification. I gotta hear this again. You can barely hear him. But once again, he\u2019s doubling down on the gangbangers to stay away from the kids. They\u2019re too important. Just remember the values associated with gangs and stay away from the kids. (laughing) He\u2019s speaking so softly, trying to carry a big stick, speaking so softly, trying to intimidate these gangbangers. Here, listen to this again. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

EMANUEL: Not. Near. Kids. That\u2019s what I mean, Bill. I don\u2019t think they should do anything. But the values are: Our kids are our most important resource. Stay away from them. You don\u2019t belong near them, and take everything that\u2019s associated with being a gang away from them, from the violence to the values that are associated with gangs. Stay away from our children. They\u2019re too important. Okay? <\/p>\n

RUSH: (imitating Emanuel) “Okay? Got it? Okay? Stay away. Not near the kids. Stay away from the kids, got it? Got it, Bill? Got it? Stay away from the kids. Values, gang values, remember what the gang values are. Remember what the gang values are! Stay away from the kids. Keep it away from the kids. You hear me? No kids. Got it? Our most valuable resource. Got it, Bill? Stay away from the kids. Kill anybody else, but stay away from the kids, our most valuable resource. Remember your values.” Unbelievable.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I listened to this Rahm Emanuel bite. In fact, we\u2019ve got the correct bite from yesterday. I want to play these two again. ‘Cause I\u2019m gonna tell you something. Another thing that we have dumbed down in this country is the quality of our politicians, and I am dead serious. Even the Democrats in office today are ten times worse than the Democrats of yesteryear. I mean, this makes you long for the old days of Daley. If you\u2019re gonna have somebody in Chicago that\u2019s going to… This is embarrassing. This has gotta embarrass Chicago. Here\u2019s the first Rahm Emanuel statement on the gangs. This is what he sought to clarify. This is from Monday night on the CBS Evening News.<\/p>\n

EMANUEL: You got two gangbangers. One standing next to a kid. Get away from that kid! Take your stuff to the alley. Don\u2019t touch the children of the city of Chicago. Don\u2019t get near \u2019em. And it is about values. As I said then, Scott, “Who raised you? Who were you raised [by]?” And I don\u2019t buy this case where people say they don\u2019t have values. They do have values. They have the wrong values. Don\u2019t come near the kids. Don\u2019t touch \u2019em.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So the mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, was letting the gangbangers know who\u2019s in charge. Apparently some people had the same reaction in Chicago that we had here yesterday: incredulity. So our man, Bill Cameron, at the Big 89, WLS Chicago, caught up with the mayor and asked for a clarification. And got this…<\/line><\/p>\n

EMANUEL: Not. Near. Kids. That\u2019s what I mean, Bill. I don\u2019t think they should do anything. But the values are: Our kids are our most important resource. Stay away from them. You don\u2019t belong near them, and take everything that\u2019s associated with being a gang away from them, from the violence to the values that are associated with gangs. Stay away from our children. They\u2019re too important. Okay?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) “Okay? Okay? M\u2019kay? Got it? ‘kay? The rest of you in Chicago, you\u2019re expendable. The kids, hands off!” (laughing) <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We want to help mayor Rahm Emanuel in Chicago. The word\u2019s gone out from on high to the gang members: “Leave the kids alone.” How are they to know? This is always the problem when you\u2019re trying to identify people. The mayor has just said, “Don\u2019t kill kids.” Well, what\u2019s a kid? The mayor could say anybody under 50 is a kid and really save lives. But if he did that, then the gangs would have to seek ID from their potential victims before they offed \u2019em. So if he doesn\u2019t set an age limit on what a kid is, the gangbangers are now gonna have to seek IDs to make sure that the people they kill are kids, 18 or under, I assume. What would happen if the gangbangers were told that they had to check IDs before they could kill somebody? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
