RUSH: Grab sound bites 1, 2, and 3. I\u2019m gonna do something I seldom do. I\u2019m going to play two sound bites here with no commentary. I just want you to hear them. The first one I might comment on because it\u2019s me. I want to set this up. This is one week ago on this program. I was discussing that I think American culture, our society is at a crossroads. The foundational morality, the guardrails, the definitions of right and wrong, the general sense that Americans are unified on America and what America is — unified on proper behavior, manners, rudeness. We\u2019re not, and I wanted to explain why this is the case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So this little sound bite was an attempt to address that. This is from last Monday, one week ago<\/a>…<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: There\u2019s a larger element here to me, and it is the increasing failure of trusted institutions to get things right and to be fair about it. The greatest example right now of this being bastardized is the FBI leadership under Barack Obama, the Department of Justice leadership under Barack Obama. … The Department of Justice is the epitome of where people expect there to be no political corruption and fairness. It\u2019s already\u2026 If you find yourself up against the government in trial or in some kind of legal case, you\u2019re already up against the 8-ball because they have all the money in the world and you don\u2019t have any. … And everywhere you look… The Catholic Church is letting down its parishioners in ways after ways after ways, and all other religions are doing the same thing. They are failing to stand up for church teachings and they are bowing to societal political pressure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was a comment, in part, on the Catholic diocese. Not the school, but the diocese in Covington when they threw the kids overboard without even bothering to dig into what happened. They were just reacting to the media report. So quick. I mean, there\u2019s an institution that these kids and their families, you would think would have their backs. And not just their backs, but, you know, everybody. Institutions have survived because they stand for things. They are bulwarks against whatever temporary trends there are in society, particularly downturns.<\/p>\n

They hold firm. They stand firm in what it is that defines them, their belief system or what have you. The DOJ, the Barack Obama DOJ and the FBI, this ongoing Mueller investigation… Does anybody even know what he is doing? We don\u2019t even have a charge memo for this man! He was not even, according to regulations, given specifics! We do not even know what he\u2019s doing, other than what we know he\u2019s ignoring. He\u2019s ignoring the absolute actual crime that has occurred on the Democrat side in this whole so-called Russian collusion scandal!<\/p>\n

You know we\u2019ve got a two-tiered justice system, and you could almost say we\u2019ve got a two-tiered climate change system. For example, in the heat of summer in July and August — when it\u2019s always very hot — the left says, “See? Evidence of global warming! See? Evidence of climate change.” Hurricanes come. “See? Evidence!” Now, we have an arctic air mass approaching the Upper Midwest that\u2019s gonna give wind chills in Minneapolis; Chicago; Des Moines; Madison, Wisconsin, of minus-50 to minus-60 degrees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The real temperatures at night are gonna reach down to minus-30 to minus-35 degrees. The National Weather Service in Des Moines said, quote, “This is the coldest air many of us will have ever experienced — and if you are outside, avoid taking deep breaths and minimize talking.” The coldest air many of us will ever have experienced in the midst of climate change and global warming. And if you point this out, what does the climate change crowd say? “You can\u2019t do that! You can\u2019t confuse weather with climate!”<\/p>\n

Yet they do it every July and August. They do it with every hurricane. So we\u2019ve got a two-tier climate change system. They can claim the weather represents climate but we can\u2019t. They can allow the Democrats to commit crime after crime after crime and not even be pursued. Whereas investigators will be impaneled to find crimes that do not exist on the Republican side. This is a massive failure in institutions! If people cannot trust something as basic and simple as institutional accountability and fairness in things like this, then nothing is gonna be trusted!<\/p>\n

And just think. Incandescent light bulbs and SUVs have caused this massive, massive freeze that\u2019s gonna be encompassing the Midwest. That\u2019s what they want us to believe. Burning fossil fuels so heats the atmosphere, the greenhouse effect. So much pollution — largely emitted by the powerful and evil United States. So much heat, so much greenhouse effect that we\u2019re gonna have colder air than many of us will have ever experienced.<\/p>\n

Okay, now the next two sound bites. I\u2019m just gonna play these. I\u2019m not gonna comment. But along the lines of we are losing our institutions, today on Fox & Friends, Steve Doocy and the gang had the archbishop of New York Timothy Cardinal Dolan on as a guest, and they took questions from the audience. The audience could submit questions, either call in or write in or whatever. Steve Doocy to Cardinal Dolan. “Here\u2019s a question from a viewer named Debbie. She wants to know what the church\u2019s stance on a mother who decides to get an abortion.”<\/p>\n

DOLAN: A mom who has an abortion, we\u2019d say, “Mom, we love you. We might not, uh, particularly condone what you just did. But we love you, and, uh, we\u2019re not about to judge you.” It used to be people that said we should excommunicate the mothers that did that. We don\u2019t do that anymore. You\u2019re welcome back in the church. If you have a sense of shame and regret about what you\u2019ve done — and I presume you might — uh, come and ask for God\u2019s mercy and it\u2019s yours for the asking. So the blame doesn\u2019t need to go on the mom here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And Steve Doocy then says, “Have the rules changed within the Catholic Church?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

DOLAN: It used to be that an abortion would cause the excommunication not only of the one who did it, [but] people who encourage it, and the one who had it. The church in the last 50 years — beginning with, uh, Pope John Paul II and especially intensified under Pope Francis — has said, “I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s gospel values, here, because mercy trumps everything.” And even though we would be uncompromising, uh, in our teaching about the horror of abortion, we would also be uncompromising in our teaching about God\u2019s mercy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I play these bites because a lot of people saw this and had questions about it, and wonder why somebody like Andrew Cuomo, who\u2019s leading standing ovations for abortion any time on demand even after the baby survives the abortion…? How is somebody like that allowed to remain a Catholic? I\u2019m not Catholic; so I can\u2019t begin to tell you. So I just wanted you to hear that. You can judge it on your own.<\/p>\n

I will say one thing. Everybody knows that when the cardinal said here, “We\u2019re not gonna judge you,” that\u2019s correctly God\u2019s doing. Correct, true. (sigh) But the point is when rules don\u2019t matter… Whoever makes them, whoever\u2019s rules they are, when they don\u2019t matter, you ask, “Why have them? You know, what is their point?” So we\u2019re in the midst of a time where it seems like there is nothing to fall back on.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if the rules have been changed for murder and rape. I don\u2019t know if we stop judging murder and rape. I would guess that we kind of have stopped judging, because our society has become very, very much absorbed in the idea of remorse. You can do a lot if you just express the proper amount of remorse. (sobbing) “I didn\u2019t mean to do it! That\u2019s not who I am. That\u2019s not who I was. That\u2019s not what I do.” Even though you just did it and it is who you are. (mewling regretfully)<\/p>\n

But it all you have to do is express the proper amount of remorse, except if you are a conservative Republican, you can express all the remorse in the world you want and all it\u2019s gonna get you is a bigger and bigger pile-on. No forgiveness whatsoever.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, has tweeted some stats. “Female unemployment is the lowest it\u2019s been in 65 years. Trump\u2019s Small Business Administration lent $500 million more to women-owned businesses in 2017 than Obama did in 2016. Trump launched the Women\u2019s Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative to promote female entrepreneurs. What are feminists resisting, exactly?”<\/p>\n

Charlie, allow me to answer. None of that matters. You could tell \u2019em till they\u2019re blue in the face that this is happening. They wouldn\u2019t care. Trump is Trump. He\u2019s a conservative Republican in their minds, they hate him. And also they are resisting abortion ending. Charlie, that\u2019s what it all comes down to, militant feminazis.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Gary in Wausau, Wisconsin. Great to have you with us, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Nice to talk to you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The voice extraordinaire. I have a quick question for you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And that\u2019s, if the Democrats think that abortion is acceptable, do they also think what Dr. Kevorkian, what he did was illegal or legal?<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Not the question. Whether it\u2019s illegal or not — by the way, this is an excellent question. It is an excellent question. The Democrats at large supported Kevorkian. For those of you don\u2019t know, Jack Kevorkian was assisting people in suicide. In some cases he was actually facilitating it. And he became a star. He was on the National Press Club, he was on C-SPAN, and he was giving detailed justifications for what he was doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what happens when you die?\u201d he would say to an audience. \u201cYou begin to rot. You stink. You become repulsively ugly.\u201d He was enamored of death. The Democrat Party supports — and I believe it\u2019s their support for abortion which then be made death at the other end of the life spectrum also amenable to them. Assisted suicide. “My grandma wouldn\u2019t want to live this way. You gotta let me offer. I can\u2019t stand.” Kevorkian was the guy you went if you wanted — and what was happening is that people who were not ill, who were just depressed, were going to Kevorkian and saying, “Off me. It\u2019s not worth living.” And he would do it! In that case it was illegal and he was charged. He had a crackpot lawyer out there defending him.<\/p>\n

It became a civil rights issue. And the Democrat Party was the party that was defending it and of course they had their political reasons. The more seasoned citizens who perish, the more money there is for others. In fact, it got encapsulated into Obamacare. That\u2019s what the death panels were, folks. The answer to your question is “yes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
