RUSH: It\u2019s being predicted that one million people are coming to protest in Washington this weekend. I\u2019ve seen it for the past two or three days. Washington under siege, one million people showing up. The Washington mayor has just kicked the National Guard out of the district, by the way, has just told the National Guard they\u2019re not permitted to stay in hotels in the district. I\u2019ll get more details on that.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a Trump tweet. But I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this thing fizzles, all this prepub and hype on this stuff. But we\u2019ll see. Be ready. Don\u2019t let it bother you. It\u2019s planned. It\u2019s organized. It\u2019s bought and paid for. It\u2019s not spontaneous. Let \u2019em protest the good economic news. Let \u2019em get mad at that. But supposedly a million people are coming to Washington this weekend.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Kathy in Dayton, Ohio. Hi, Kathy. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s good to be here. Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: August 5th, 1988, the best birthday of my life. I found your voice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, thank you. And thank you, and much love to your wife for supporting and caring for you, our advocate.<\/a> We greatly appreciate her. And speaking of advocates, I am calling to be an advocate for the senior citizens and the children who are living in these riot zones who are going to bed at night listening to glass breaking, guns going off, the fireworks that are being thrown that they don\u2019t know what they are. While we go to bed in our safe little homes, which is questionable with defunding the police, they go to bed hearing that with senior citizens calling the police asking them to get their prescriptions and the police have to say your pharmacy is not there anymore.<\/p>\n

Nobody\u2019s advocating for these people. I am a product of the Detroit riots of 1968, and I carry the scars. I watched my father drive into the fires. He had a gun to his head, a knife to his throat and had friends who were dragged out and beat from their cars. I was scared to death when the police came and told us we cannot protect you. My house that was a home turned into a fortress, and then block-busting happened. Thank you Rainbow Coalition. And we had to sacrifice my house —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait — when did all this happen? This is Detroit or is this now?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, Detroit 1968.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: One day I\u2019m out in my backyard as a little 8-year-old girl, carefree, in the house my father poured his blood, sweat, and tears into, and the next day my life changed and I was never allowed outside again. And, Rush, I have never felt safe again. And now I have these riots that are popping up, and it\u2019s bringing all of it right to my surface. Yeah, that\u2019s a sign of trauma.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You finally get out of Detroit, now you\u2019re in Dayton. And now you have these scary feelings happening all over again.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And these kids, Rush, these kids are sitting there every day, by day they hear one-line mantras over and over again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know. It\u2019s gotta be frustrating. But it sounds like you\u2019re steeled and ready for it, so there is that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. This march on Washington, the big thing they\u2019ve been hyping, apparently it\u2019s gonna be led by Al Sharpton and the George Floyd family. But I was familiar with this protest before any of that happened. They\u2019ve been hyping this thing for at least a week. But Al Sharpton went in there and hijacked — funeral crasher yesterday, and now these guys are gonna take to the streets of Washington. Again, the mayor of Washington has let it be known she wants the National Guard out of town tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
