\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Ringoes, New Jersey, and it\u2019s Laurie.\u00a0 Laurie, you\u2019re first today.\u00a0 Welcome to the EIB Network.\u00a0 Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Hi, Rush.\u00a0 This is the high point of my summer, other than having saltwater taffy at the seashore.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Oh, wow. I love saltwater taffy, too.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Hey, just a comment after what you\u2019re reading in the first hour about the disintegration of our country through divisiveness.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes?<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER:\u00a0 I think all of this — and this is gonna sound cute, but I really kind of mean it. It\u2019s red, white, and blue lives matter, and that\u2019s the way we should be coalescing.\u00a0 And that\u2019s really hard to do when people are looking for retribution all the time.\u00a0 We have more in common if we would just realize that as Americans.\u00a0 And I am not talking to the illegal immigrants in the country right now. Then we have different… And that should be the basis if we want this thing to continue instead of retribution and attacking each other, that that\u2019s the way this has gotta work.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, see, I think you just swerved into something there, and this is what is hard to accept or believe for a lot of people.\u00a0 But there are some people who do not want this thing to continue to work, and that\u2019s what they\u2019re doing is all about.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want to unify.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want this thing to work.\u00a0 That\u2019s the whole point of going forth with grievance after grievance after grievance and victim after victim after victim, because this inherent system… There is an all-out assault on the unity of this country.\u00a0 There are people whose express purpose is to rip it apart.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 So what do those people think is gonna work better?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I read a story last night of a college professor at Dartmouth.\u00a0 I can\u2019t remember if I printed this out.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I did.\u00a0 Or if I did, it didn\u2019t print. Anyway, some… It may be Cornell, I forget which, but there\u2019s an African-American professor at a noted Ivy League school who is saying there\u2019s three kinds of white people, and only one of the three different kinds is worth anything, and that they\u2019re so tiny and so small a group that you don\u2019t need to be worried.<\/p>\n

The first group, they\u2019re just nothing but the white capitalists who believe in the founding of the country, and you can\u2019t unify with them. You have nothing in common with them.\u00a0 (It\u2019s what he\u2019s teaching the students.)\u00a0 You should pay no attention.\u00a0 These are the people that have been causing you problems ever since you were born.\u00a0 Then there\u2019s another group of white people who acknowledge the inherent racism of white people.<\/p>\n

But they still like capitalism and think the solution to the problem is there, and you can\u2019t deal with them, either.\u00a0 The other group of whites — the third group — is so small, and they are the progressives. But even if you come to an agreement with all of them, you haven\u2019t made any progress \u2019cause there aren\u2019t enough of them.\u00a0 So with things like this being taught to students whose parents are paying $30,000 a year to send them there, you\u2019re not gonna have any unification around.\u00a0 What do they think is gonna be better?\u00a0 They obviously think socialism is better.\u00a0 Some of them probably think communism is better.\u00a0 And they do.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re sitting here, any of you, saying, “That doesn\u2019t make any sense!”<\/p>\n

To them, it does.<\/p>\n

The politics of grievance is pervasive.\u00a0 It\u2019s spreading.\u00a0 And when you have an economy that has been ripped to shreds like this, and when you have more and more people thinking that there\u2019s no economic opportunity — that the game is so rigged that the standard recipes of hard work and education, stick-to-itiveness and so forth don\u2019t pay off… If that\u2019s all a joke now because the game is so rigged, it\u2019s easy to recruit them into your grievance world, into your grievance industry. Because you\u2019ve just given them an out. You\u2019ve just given them an excuse for failing. You\u2019ve given them a reason to be mad, justifiably so.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easier route to take, and it\u2019s been way too seductive for way too many people.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Here we go.\u00a0 It is from our buddies at Campus Reform, a story written by Rob Shimshock.\u00a0 “Cornell Prof[fessor]: Only Whites Who Hate Capitalism Are [Black Lives Matter] Allies<\/a>.\u00a0 He\u2019s a history professor, is a PhD in history from Columbia, a masters in African-American studies from Columbia.\u00a0 “A Cornell University professor recently called the Fraternal Order of Police ‘a terrorist organization,\u2019 capitalism an ‘anti-human system,\u2019 and the majority of ‘white America\u2019 racist. …<\/p>\n

<\/a>“According to The Ithaca Voice, Professor Russell Rickford of Cornell University made those statements and others at a Black Lives Matter protest Friday, even going so far as to charge the police with ‘genocide\u2019 in relation to recent, well-publicized shootings. ‘There will always be a segment of white America that is overtly, irredeemably racist,\u2019 Rickford said… ‘Forget about them. They\u2019re not worth your time.\u2019 ‘There\u2019s a much larger segment, some of them are gathered right here. A segment of white America that considers itself enlightened,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n

“‘They outwardly reject the symbols of white supremacy, yet they aggressively protect their white privilege.\u2019\u00a0 Asserting that ‘deep in their heart, they despise your blackness more than anything else,\u2019 Rickford advised the audience to ‘forget about those folks, too.\u2019 \u00a0‘There\u2019s a sliver, a sliver of white America that hates white supremacy and that hates capitalism,\u2019 said the professor… ‘These are the folks that you need to organize with.”<\/p>\n

He said this at a Black Lives Matter rally.\u00a0 ‘You\u2019ve got to organize with class-conscious workers…You\u2019ve got to organize with the undocumented. You\u2019ve got to organize with the radical trans people…You\u2019ve got to build a poor people\u2019s movement, a colonized people\u2019s movement,\u2019 he explained. ‘We\u2019ve got to build a grassroots, antiracist movement to defeat capitalism altogether and it\u2019s not going to happen at the ballot box.'”<\/p>\n

Well, then where is it going to happen?<\/p>\n

Well, of course.\u00a0 Of course.\u00a0 This is sixties redux.\u00a0 It is.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same stuff being repeated.\u00a0 If you weren\u2019t alive or old enough at the time to pay attention, this is sixties redo.\u00a0 This is exactly what the Huey Newtons of the day were talk, the Angela Davises of the day, the Black Panthers, Students for a “Democrat” Society.\u00a0 It\u2019s just… Weather Underground, all of them. Yeah, it\u2019s just recycled stuff. But to people who\u2019ve never heard it before (paraphrased exchange), “What do you mean?\u00a0 I\u2019m white and you\u2019re telling me I\u2019m not worth your time?”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s exactly right, honky!\u00a0 You are not worth our time.”<\/p>\n

Rickford: “There\u2019s a sliver, a sliver of white America that hates white supremacy and that hates capitalism…” (chuckling) I\u2019m sorry.\u00a0 I probably shouldn\u2019t have said that, should I?\u00a0 (chuckling)\u00a0 Back to Professor Rickford, at Cornell. “‘There can be no human system under capitalism. Capitalism is an anti-human system,\u2019 Rickford continued. … Opining that ‘most of us are losers under capitalism,\u2019 Rickford also denounced ‘a global economy that is rigged to enrich a few while enslaving the masses.\u2019\u00a0 …<\/p>\n

“‘To hell with the Republican party and to hell with the G[–]damn Democratic [P]arty,\u2019 he said. ‘Hillary Clinton is a warmongering imperialist and a lapdog of the corporate elite. We don\u2019t need a woman CEO of capitalism. Hell, you had a black CEO of capitalism — what did that get you?'” That\u2019s Obama.\u00a0 He called the Trumpster a “neo-fascist.” It was “in 2014 that Rickford, who was an assistant history professor at Dartmouth College at the time, had referred to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day ‘a tool of the far-right imperialists to appease people.'”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s of the belief that Martin Luther King Day and all of the different Martin Luther King Boulevards are just a sop. They\u2019re just a way to appease blacks to make \u2019em think they\u2019re being thought about, cared about, honored and so forth, when they don\u2019t really mean it. They don\u2019t really care! They didn\u2019t like Dr. King in the first place.\u00a0 He\u2019s one of these guys that says, “You ever notice where Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevards are?” This guy is loaded for bear (laughing), and he\u2019s teaching at Cornell.<\/p>\n

Okay.\u00a0 Back to the phones.\u00a0 This is Bart in Tucson.\u00a0 Bart, great to have you on the EIB Network.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Thanks, Rush, for taking my call.\u00a0 Mega dittos from a family of fans of Rush Revere and from a man you helped keep sane in an insane America.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Thank you very much.\u00a0 I really appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 What hit me this past month is that we\u2019re living the Fast and Furious strategy.\u00a0 That\u2019s what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Explain that.\u00a0 What do you mean by, “We\u2019re living the Fast and Furious…”? I mean, I know what it is, but what do you mean?\u00a0 Relate it to what\u2019s going on now.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 They\u2019re taking the carnage and the chaos and the bloodshed, and they\u2019re using it to advance their agenda, to curtail our liberties and shred the Constitution.\u00a0 They\u2019re gonna… You know, especially in stuff that doesn\u2019t make any sense. When you have an avowed Muslim terrorist mowing a bunch of people down, “Oh, it\u2019s the gun\u2019s fault!”\u00a0 And then when you have a domestic terrorist mow down cops, “Oh, it\u2019s the gun\u2019s fault! We gotta restrict the guns.” This is what they wanted to do with the Fast and Furious.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 So this is kind of the Wayne LaPierre theory; he was on This Week with David Brinkley way, way, way back when Brinkley host on the show. This is back when people watched it. It was in the nineties.\u00a0 Clinton was president.\u00a0 And Clinton was making, you know, the usual Democrat move on guns after some of event, and Wayne LaPierre said, “I think the president\u2019s comfortable with a certain level of violence.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a hell of a thing to say. That\u2019s a hell of an accusatory thing to say. He said, “I think the president\u2019s comfortable with a certain level of violence,” \u2019cause it allows him to go on these anti-gun rants.\u00a0 It was just… It was LaPierre\u2019s way of saying what Rahm Emanuel said, and that is a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.\u00a0 Chaos is a terrible thing to waste.\u00a0 What that means — and it\u2019s been my point all along, and I\u2019ve been trying to it drill home — is that there\u2019s a beneficiary in all of this.\u00a0 There are people trying to benefit from this.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s five dead cops, a dead black citizen in Minnesota or in Louisiana, there are people trying to profit from it, politically profit from it.\u00a0 It\u2019s undeniable.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s cheap and I think it\u2019s sick.\u00a0 But they are there.\u00a0 And you and I both know who they are.<\/p>\n

<\/a>It\u2019s a good transition.\u00a0 Let\u2019s head to the audio sound bites here, starting at the top.\u00a0 This is last night Fox Business Network, Risk and Reward.\u00a0 Deirdre Bolton speaking with Ford O\u2019Connell, a Republican strategist. Does that name ring a bell?\u00a0 It should.\u00a0 We\u2019ve mentioned Ford O\u2019Connell on this program before.\u00a0 Ford O\u2019Connell is the young Republican strategist who wrote the piece that we quoted from here about how Republicans, if we are ever to return to majority status, must appeal to Democrats and minorities.<\/p>\n

We must do what is necessary to appeal to those groups, otherwise we Republicans are never gonna amount — in other words, conservatism, no way.\u00a0 No way.\u00a0 Conservatism\u2019s not the answer.\u00a0 The Republican Party has to reach out, moderate and modify its views to be able to accommodate radical Democrats, minorities, and so forth.\u00a0 So, anyway, he\u2019s the guest and they\u2019re talking about Black Lives Matter and Rudy Giuliani and people\u2019s reaction to it<\/a>, and here\u2019s the first part of it.<\/p>\n

BOLTON:\u00a0 Former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, former Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, and talk show Rush Limbaugh claim that Black Lives Matter exacerbates tensions and sows racial divides.\u00a0 Are people conflating the Black Lives Matter message with being anti-police?\u00a0 A lot of protesters are saying the terms are not binary.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 What?\u00a0 The terms — what?\u00a0 Binary means synonymous?\u00a0 That\u2019s what she means?\u00a0 Okay, “Former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, former Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, talk show Rush Limbaugh claim –” don\u2019t you love that, they “claim.”\u00a0 I\u2019m not claiming anything.\u00a0 I\u2019m saying.\u00a0 Anyway.\u00a0 “– that Black Lives Matter exacerbates tensions and sows racial divides.”\u00a0 How can that even be debatable?\u00a0 How can you even argue that?\u00a0 Just like Occupy Wall Street did the same thing.\u00a0 Exacerbate differences.\u00a0 How\u2019s this even debatable?\u00a0 “Well, they say they\u2019re not.”\u00a0 Well, of course.\u00a0 Communists lie about what they do, too.<\/p>\n

Anyway, and then she asks her guest here, Ford O\u2019Connell, whose sound bite is coming up, “Are people conflating the Black Lives Matter message with being anti-police?”\u00a0 Meaning, are people associating incorrectly whatever Black Lives Matter\u2019s saying to mean it\u2019s anti-cop?\u00a0 “A lot of the protesters are saying the terms are not binary.”\u00a0 You know, binary — oh, well.\u00a0 Here\u2019s Ford O\u2019Connell\u2019s answer.<\/p>\n

O\u2019CONNELL:\u00a0 I think they are, and the reason why this is happening is because everyone\u2019s extremely emotional.\u00a0 And I have to say that a lot of white Americans don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to be black and don\u2019t understand what it is they\u2019re seeing. But at the same time there are no facts or very few facts when it comes to police and shootings for Black Lives Matter to make its case.\u00a0 They\u2019re upset about a lot of different things, but they\u2019re not focusing in on solutions.\u00a0 What they\u2019re focusing in is drawing attention to something that they can\u2019t necessarily prove.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I\u2019m sorry, folks.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think we\u2019re any nearer understanding anything after those two bites than we were before I played them.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Yeah, that\u2019s right.\u00a0 Ford O\u2019Connell, the guy in the sound bite we just played, he\u2019s the guy who said that nominating a conservative presidential candidate would just postpone the GOP nightmare. That the GOP needs to modernize now, ditch all of its outdated conservative notions and move on from them.\u00a0 I mean, it\u2019s even worse than saying the era of Reagan is over.\u00a0 We gotta ditch conservatism and people that believe it, we gotta move on. Otherwise, if we don\u2019t, we\u2019re just delaying our nightmare, postponing the nightmare.\u00a0 That\u2019s Ford O\u2019Connell.<\/p>\n

Also on this binary business, folks, the reason I was confused, binary, in its primary definition, has to do with computers.\u00a0 Binary operating system, a system of ones and zeros.\u00a0 And there\u2019s nothing synonymous about them.\u00a0 The way to look at it, binary is an either or proposition.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing synonymous in binary operations, which is why I was profoundly confused on both sides of that sound bite.<\/p>\n

(interruption) What\u2019s that?\u00a0 It scares Snerdley that he understands what she meant.\u00a0 It should scare you.\u00a0 If you understood that, it means that — well, maybe not.\u00a0 It shouldn\u2019t scare you.\u00a0 It shows your diversity.\u00a0 You were able to understand nonsense.\u00a0 I mean, a lot of people would like to be able to.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sound bite number three, Philadelphia television, Good Day Philadelphia today.\u00a0 Question: “Why is it a slap in the face of the movement to say that all lives matter?”<\/p>\n

Chad Lassiter:\u00a0 It\u2019s not a racist organization, so the foolishness that we hear Limbaugh and Ruly (sic) Giuliani, they just need to stop that.\u00a0 Our morality speeches have to stop!\u00a0 In our society, we know that African-Americans were perceived as 3\/5ths human beings. And so, once again, it\u2019s an oppressed people, not by buying into their victimization, but identifying themselves to say, “Listen, Black Lives Matter.”\u00a0 To say that all lives matter, to me, is not just ignorance. It\u2019s just disingenuous.\u00a0 It\u2019s like going to the AIDS benefit and simply saying, “Cancer matters also.”\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, but it\u2019s not a good analogy.\u00a0 I mean, you\u2019re saying some lives matter more than others.\u00a0 Look, they\u2019re just making their own case that we\u2019re right here, is what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hank in Brooklyn, I\u2019m really glad you waited.\u00a0 You\u2019re next as we head back to the phones.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Yes, hello?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Hey, Hank, how are you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 How you doing.\u00a0 I wanted to address the grievance comment that you made.\u00a0 Why is it that whenever a black person talks honestly about their history in America is it labeled as a grievance?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, not each instance is labeled as a grievance.\u00a0 A grievance is a political action.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just African-Americans.\u00a0 I mean, the feminist industry, if you want to call it, is based on grievance.\u00a0 It\u2019s a tactic.\u00a0 The Democrat Party has evolved and developed because one of the values of having a grievance is it\u2019s never solved.\u00a0 You\u2019ve always got a reason to complain.\u00a0 You\u2019ve always gotta bitch. You\u2019ve always got a mechanism whereby you can complain you\u2019re getting the shaft.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I understand that, but if, like, if I\u2019m telling my history honestly, it\u2019s just me telling my history.\u00a0 It\u2019s not necessarily a grievance.\u00a0 I\u2019m being honest about the black history experience in America.\u00a0 You know, it\u2019s not necessarily a grievance. It\u2019s being honest about the black history in America.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, it depends on what you want to do with it.\u00a0 It depends on why you\u2019re mentioning it, in what forum, and what you\u2019re demanding as a result.\u00a0 I mean, if you and I are sitting around having a drink and we\u2019re talking about these things, I wouldn\u2019t attach grievance to what you\u2019re talking about.\u00a0 But if you are a member of a group that is trying to advance a political agenda, and you\u2019re blaming me for it —<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I hear you —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Wait a minute, now.\u00a0 We\u2019re just speaking hypothetically.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I hear what you\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 And you\u2019re blaming me or other people for it, and maybe, it may be something that\u2019s never even happened to you, then I would call it grievance —<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I agree with you.\u00a0 I totally agree with you.\u00a0 When I talk about it, it\u2019s more to explain so younger black kids know their history and know, you see the gap between whites and blacks in this country, and it explains it sometimes.\u00a0 Like, you know, blacks had a late start in this country.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t have the opportunities back then, so we had a later start, so that\u2019s why you see the gap.\u00a0 But, you know what I\u2019m saying?\u00a0 So they don\u2019t think that, oh, is this gap because I\u2019m lesser of a human being.\u00a0 You know what I\u2019m saying?<\/p>\n

And so young kids, black kids especially growing up, they need to know that so they don\u2019t see that gap and think that it\u2019s because their race is lesser.\u00a0 It\u2019s like, no, it\u2019s just that we got a late start in this country.\u00a0 And I don\u2019t think there\u2019s nothing wrong with being honest and saying that.\u00a0 It\u2019s not saying that you owe me anything.\u00a0 No, I\u2019m not saying that at all.\u00a0 It\u2019s just explaining, “Listen, we got a late start. So that\u2019s why you see the gap.”<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Well, you\u2019re not.\u00a0 You\u2019re not.\u00a0 Let me change the subject, give you an analogy.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Are you married?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 I\u2019m gonna make up an event.\u00a0 We\u2019re gonna speak hypothetically.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say that you catch your wife having an affair, but you talk about it and you solve it and you agree to go on. You agree to continue the relationship and the marriage and try to make the most of it, but you never let her forget.\u00a0 Whenever any argument comes up, you remind her, “You cheated on me.”\u00a0 Your relationship has no chance. You agreed to set it aside. You accepted that it happened and you accepted her explanation and you agreed to move forward, but then as you move forward, you continue to lay that off on her, and you never let her forget. Your marriage doesn\u2019t have a chance, if you don\u2019t let it go.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 You\u2019re right.\u00a0 Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 That happens to a lot of couples. I understand the black history in this country, and regret it, I wish it hadn\u2019t happened.\u00a0 See, I also know that it hasn\u2019t happened to African-Americans alive today.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t one African-American alive today who\u2019s treated as three-fifths of a person like it was in the past.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 You\u2019re right.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 We\u2019ve made progress in our country, and it\u2019s been the Constitution that permitted that to happen.\u00a0 I hate all this stuff, Hank.\u00a0 I wish this stuff weren\u2019t happening.\u00a0 What bothers me is that I don\u2019t see the eagerness for a genuine solution to the political people on the opposite side.\u00a0 They want to continue to use the grievance, to use whatever happened hundreds of years ago that did not even happen to them, as a way of expressing how this country is failing or is less than decent and good.\u00a0 We\u2019re never gonna move forward if we can\u2019t let go of things, especially things that don\u2019t happen to people today.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 I agree a hundred percent with you on that.\u00a0 Like I said, I only use it, when I explain black history to my kids and young black kids so they know, “Listen, this is the reason why there is this disparity. You also got a late start.\u00a0 It\u2019s not because you\u2019re less of a person because of your race.”\u00a0 You understand?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Hank, let me ask you a serious question.\u00a0 I mean, I\u2019m asking this \u2019cause I genuinely want to know what your answer to this is, because I know some African-Americans, they happen to be conservative, they\u2019re successful.\u00a0 They, of course, have raised their kids, and kids can\u2019t escape in school the history of slavery and all of the horrible things that happened in the past.\u00a0 But they weren\u2019t raised that way, and they are not raising their kids to be imprisoned by that.\u00a0 They\u2019re raising them to be the best they can be today, to take advantage of the opportunity that exists today.\u00a0 And it\u2019s working for some people.\u00a0 This is the thing.\u00a0 A lot of people say, “Oh, that\u2019s phony. It\u2019s easy for you to say, but it\u2019s not possible for us.”\u00a0 But it is, it is working for some.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 I always put in my kid\u2019s head never to use race as an excuse.\u00a0 I always put that in my kids\u2019 heads, that racism is not an excuse for not being successful.\u00a0 I agree with you on that.\u00a0 I always instill that in them.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, no, but look, your kids are gonna encounter it.\u00a0 We are all, every one of us are gonna encounter some unfairness and some real cruelty in our lives.\u00a0 People are mean to each other.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Of course.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Now, race, that\u2019s something you can\u2019t do anything about.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 So that makes it even more cruel.\u00a0 But we all encounter cruelty.\u00a0 It\u2019s just one of these sad realities of life.\u00a0 There are mean people out there, and they\u2019re cruel, they\u2019re bullies to all kinds of people.\u00a0 Some are based in race; some are based in the way other people look; some of it\u2019s politically based.\u00a0 But there\u2019s all kinds of it.\u00a0 Everybody goes through life being tormented at times by something. Something as simple as just going through four years of high school can ruin somebody\u2019s confidence, just because of things that happened there.\u00a0 The key to it all is being taught how to deal with it and how to not let it mar your own opinion of yourself.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 I agree.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 And the grievance industry always seeks to blame other people while never finding a solution.\u00a0 That\u2019s my problem with it, when solutions are there to be had.\u00a0 But when people don\u2019t want \u2019em, when they profit from the division, however, be it politically or financially, that\u2019s when I abhor it.\u00a0 And that\u2019s when I get depressed because I don\u2019t see any moving forward from it.\u00a0 You\u2019re doing great.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 If you\u2019re raising your kids the way you say, they\u2019re gonna be good, they\u2019re gonna be great, they\u2019re gonna know the history, they\u2019re gonna know what\u2019s possible. But they\u2019re gonna know how to not be devastated by it to the point that they hate themselves.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Exactly.\u00a0 That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.\u00a0 I definitely agree with you all what you were saying, though.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Well, good, good.\u00a0 We found some common things here to stand up around.\u00a0 That\u2019s great.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m glad you called, Hank.\u00a0 I really am.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n
