RUSH: Folks, there\u2019s an overriding problem here. I\u2019ve talked about it a number of times over the course of many, many broadcasts on the EIB Network. And every time I bring it up there\u2019s a little inner voice, “Rush, don\u2019t make too big a deal about this because this is something that every adult generation has thought or has felt when they look at the worthless and useless younger generations.” I\u2019m just kidding.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s another voice says, “No, Rush, this is worse than the normal pattern. What I\u2019m talking about is the degree of maleducation.” LeBron James is a classic example of just sheer uneducation inside a body and mind who thinks he\u2019s a genius. He doesn\u2019t know diddly-squat.<\/p>\n

Most of the people on the left who are out there espousing communism, supporting communism, defending communism have simply been poisoned. They\u2019ve not been properly educated. And it\u2019s a problem. When Thomas Jefferson becomes a bigger problem in America than Hugo Chavez was in Venezuela, we\u2019ve got a problem. That has not been something that every generation assumed growing up in America, but there are young people today who believe that Thomas Jefferson is a scourge on the United States, and we need leaders more like Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro or, you name it.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019ve got people defending the most repressive, punitive, brutal regime on the planet, the communist Chinese. And they think that they are being valorous. They think that they are doing the Lord\u2019s work. They think they are defending honor. They\u2019re defending their back pockets and their bank accounts, obviously. But it goes beyond just people being loyal to money.<\/p>\n

They have been mistaught. It\u2019s not that they\u2019re uneducated. It\u2019s that the people we consider the best and brightest or the elites don\u2019t know anything that is correct. They have been taught over the course of their lives a bunch of gibberish. And because they are elites, and because they are from the upper strata of society, what they think is given some weight. And it\u2019s never examined in a fact-based analytical way.<\/p>\n

\"\"And I\u2019ve been concerned about this for not — and it\u2019s not just recently — for quite a while. And, you know, I always told you that I started this show in 1988, 37 years old. So now I am 68. I always vowed that as I got older and approached the age where people think you\u2019re an old fogy that I was not gonna become an old fogy and that I was not gonna betray the traits of the old fogy, which is looking at anything new being done or enjoyed or engaged in by the younger generation as corrupt or bad. I vowed that was never gonna happen to me.<\/p>\n

You know, my parents, just to illustrate, my parents hated the Beatles, didn\u2019t want any part of the Beatles. My mom stuck with Sinatra, the old standards, her whole life. I vowed that when I was 70 I\u2019d still be listening to top 40. Sorry. I can\u2019t. I just can\u2019t. But I still do listen to the stuff I grew up with in the sixties and seventies. But I have not turned into a closed-minded, get off my lawn kind of older guy. I have fought that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made sure \u2013 (interruption) I know nobody can reach my lawn. I\u2019m being symbolic here. You know the old guy that tells the kids to get off his lawn. You know what I\u2019m talking about here. My point is that I\u2019ve paid a lot of attention to the fact that I will not become a cliche adult, that I remain studious and accepting and open to things younger generations do \u2019cause we all were the younger generation at one point in our lives and we all had things and did things and knew things that our parents didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

A baby born today will know more than we will ever know by the time that baby is 20, possibly. This is the point. But what will that baby be taught? What will that baby really know? This whole NBA thing would not have happened, it would not have happened had there been proper education for the last 30 years on the evils of communism, the evils of communism as it relates to individual human beings.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking about as a political ideology or system that thus makes it partisan. I\u2019m talking about, what does communism do to the heart, to the mind, to the soul of human beings? That\u2019s not taught anymore. In fact, it\u2019s lied about. Communism is held out as a great promise, it\u2019s a great equalizer. It\u2019s the elimination of all sadness and unhappiness because it eliminates competition. Therefore, it eliminates losing. Therefore, it eliminates disappointment. Therefore, communism eliminates feeling inferior because nobody is superior. All of this rotgut.<\/p>\n

There are so many people that believe it. You look at the percentage of men versus women in higher education on average, 65% female, 53% male in college. Why? Men don\u2019t want to put up with what happens on campuses. They walk and they show up and they\u2019re automatically predators.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the girls are all being force-fed feminist studies and being extolled the virtues of lesbianism and transgenderism and all these things that are counter to the natural order of human existence because they\u2019re all being propelled by a political agenda that many people do not know is behind what\u2019s being taught in feminist studies or LGBTQ studies or UFO studies or how to get to the Moon with Elon Musk studies or whatever the hell studies are being taught.<\/p>\n

I wonder, what\u2019s the answer to it? How do you fix a bunch of maleducation? It\u2019s not uneducated. We\u2019re talking about people that have degrees. We\u2019re talking about people that have gone to college.<\/p>\n

Let me give an example. Let\u2019s talk about solar panels. This is such a classic story, folks. California — and I know this because when I moved there in 1988, I bought my first real house there. It was my second house. My first house was a shack in Kansas. But the first real house I had these two solar panels on the roof, and they told me, “Oh, yeah. You gotta have \u2019em, mandated by California state law.”<\/p>\n

I said, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it\u2019s gonna save your electric bill. You won\u2019t be believe how little your electric bill will be here.”<\/p>\n

I said, \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n

“Yeah. Because those solar panels are gonna take care of everything you need during the day and they\u2019re gonna stockpile what you need and have it available at night.”<\/p>\n

I said, \u201cIs that right?\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they told me. You know that\u2019s not how it works. Do you know that during a power outage in California — and they are rampant now because of the fires — so PG&E is shutting down various areas of the state, blackouts as a safety precaution, which has the mayor all ticked off \u2019cause, you know, he gets the heat on that. You know what people are learning? That their solar panels do not work during a blackout.<\/p>\n

How many of you knew that? How many of you are, \u201cRush, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about. Of course they work during. It\u2019s the point of \u2019em.\u201d No, no, folks. For those of you in California, or anywhere, the solar panels, if you have them on the roof of your house, they don\u2019t feed your house. They feed the power company. They sent all of the whatever meager amount of electricity they generate to the power company, which then distributes it all across their grid.<\/p>\n

And do you know at night, which is the same as a blackout if you have solar panels you get zilch! The solar panels produce nothing for anybody, either her house or the power company at night. You know why? Because it\u2019s solar, which means the sun, and there isn\u2019t any at night. So people buy into this solar power thing and they think that they\u2019re actually powering their homes with these things, saving money.<\/p>\n

\"\"They look at the electric bill. It isn\u2019t any cheaper because nothing ever gets any cheaper no matter what they tell you, including cable service and movie tickets. And they look at it and it doesn\u2019t make sense so maybe they put more on. This is just one little isolated example, and it\u2019s relatively harmless compared to the real maleducation that has gone on from K through 12 and all the way through higher education for, gee, I don\u2019t know how many years.<\/p>\n

It can be boiled down to the fact that lies are being taught. There is no genuine, consistent American history that is upbeat and positive about our country you can find in common curricula across various school districts around the country. Quite the exact opposite. I\u2019m not kidding. I\u2019m not kidding. You can go to places where Thomas Jefferson is taught as a bigger scourge and a bigger embarrassment to the United States and every statue of his needs to come down.<\/p>\n

Guys like Castro, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, they deserve the attention of our young students. It\u2019s the result of successful infiltration of several American institutions by anti-American, pro-communist, pro-socialist, pro-liberal individuals and organizations. And it ultimately adds up to people not knowing anything who\u2019ve been educated so they think that they are smarter than average. They think they know more than most people.<\/p>\n

And LeBron James is the latest glaring, screeching example of utter, pure ignorance. The man should be so embarrassed over what he said and done that he ought be ashamed to even show up in public, but he\u2019s too uneducated to know that he continues to make a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth about this controversy.<\/p>\n

Do you want to see the results of uneducation and maleducation on display in a consistent, never ending time frame? Watch the Democrat debate tonight. Listen to Adam Schiff. The problem is, you know, you can sound smart being stupid. You can sound brilliant. You can sound like you are really more educated than most people and not know diddly-squat just based on how you speak, and if you\u2019re on TV, how you look.<\/p>\n

So with this LeBron James business, I think it might help if we go back to what really started all this and to share with you some of the outrageous, stupid, inane things originally stated by NBA owners and the commissioner and others involved in this, and then that will take us to the current situation with LeBron James. Don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s not gonna take me three hours to do this. You know me. I can get this done in one segment. Just hang on. Take our first obscene profit time-out of the day and be back and continue after this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, last night in Los Angeles (it\u2019s sound bite number 26, make sure your mouse is working) at the Staples Center before a preseason game between the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors, LeBron James convened a press conference with reporters talking about the Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeting out for Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters. Do you know what these protesters have done in Hong Kong? They have erected the Statue of Liberty — a facsimile of it — atop one of the highest peaks in Hong Kong in addition to waving around the American flag.<\/p>\n

They are fighting oppression, the same thing Kaepernick and this clown LeBron James claimed the police are doing to them here! They\u2019re fighting the oppression of the cops in the United States, which makes the United States horrible. These Hong Kong freedom fighters want no part of communism. They adore LeBron James and the NBA, professional athletes. So here is LeBron James in his little press conference last night, Staples Center in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
