<\/p>\nRUSH: Here is Jan. Jan, I have a question for you. Is the name of your town Martinez or Martinez? How do you pronounce it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s Martinez.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. Then it\u2019s Martinez, the suburb of Augusta, Georgia that\u2019s pronounced — okay, fine. I\u2019m glad — because I\u2019m aware of what\u2019s happening in Martinez. Why don\u2019t you tell us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right. We\u2019re just a sleepy little town where the birthplace of jilting Joe DiMaggio and the home of —<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019re in the Bay Area; you\u2019re in the East Bay. Right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: We are. And home of the martini. Some people might like that. But we\u2019ve kind of been under assault by BLM activists. And I was calling because I respect your opinion. And I\u2019ve read Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky\u2019s tactics, where we just belittle, shout down, and malign people, but we don\u2019t really look for answers, and it works with the media, they like that. I kind of agree with you on —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. Well, hold it a minute. Are you saying you use Alinsky tactics on the media?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, no. I\u2019m saying BLM does. So they present us with this sentiment that you can\u2019t disagree with, but if you agree with it, it means you didn\u2019t treat black people fairly before. And that\u2019s not the case in my life because I\u2019m a Christian and I\u2019m called to love my neighbor as myself, and that would make my life a lie.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I can\u2019t say that, though. But then if I look at the BLM website, I don\u2019t want to be a Marxist. I don\u2019t want to abolish the nuclear family. I don\u2019t want there to be no religion. So I\u2019m boxed into a corner here. Now, what I\u2019m doing is praying, and people in my community prayed really hard yesterday, and not very many people showed up to the protest. I would say 200 to 400 max —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Wait, who protested? Black Lives Matter?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. So it all started with — and I hate to be this way, but I kind of feel like we\u2019ve been set up. Someone found some fliers on the street that were white racist fliers. It was a group like some — the name escapes me, but some white world order kind of thing. And they were on the ground. They weren\u2019t taped up. They weren\u2019t anywhere. The narrative was different like they were circulating or things like that. It was in front of the police station, the address they gave. The woman that called attention to it has lived here 12 years. She\u2019s African-American. She says she\u2019s never been discriminated against in 12 years. But all the sudden our town is racist. So we need a Black Lives mural. The permit process was rushed through —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here\u2019s the thing. You\u2019re getting caught up in something that\u2019s not relevant.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And that is literal. Black Lives Matter doesn\u2019t care what is or isn\u2019t true in Martinez, California. You\u2019re just the latest target. And you\u2019re automatically gonna be racists and bigots because that\u2019s what they do. They could you see people that do not subscribe to their Marxism of being racists and bigots because they\u2019re trying to pass themselves off as a civil rights organization at the same time they\u2019re promoting Marxism. I wouldn\u2019t even waste time going and confronting any of them. Just let them do what they do and leave.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s what happened. And it was pretty uneventful.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Long term, though, Rush, long term, I live my life according to my BLM — biblical principles, biblical living matters.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you know, you have to trust in that. You have to trust that God has an exciting, great plan for your life. You have to trust that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, I know he does.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You have to trust that, and you have to believe that this is just — you\u2019ve gotta vote the right way, and you\u2019ve gotta make sure that you inform as many people as you can of the fraudulent nature of this group. But don\u2019t engage them. You\u2019re not safe if you do that. They would love for somebody to come up, get in their face. That would give them an excuse to harm people, and they get away with it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, yeah. Yeah. That\u2019s true. The people that went and protested in Sacramento, they were met with resistance. I went on May 1st. Nobody was behaving badly. So it tended to when the event was supposed to be over for reopen California, Gavin Newsom unleashed the CHP in full riot gear on us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly. I understand your frustration because you want to protect the good name of Martinez, California. You don\u2019t want it to be corrupted. You don\u2019t want it be to blown up by these clowns. You want to protect your own reputation and that of your friends who live there and so forth. What you\u2019re seeing is that the elected political class in Washington and — I\u2019m sorry — in California, Sacramento, is not on your side. They\u2019re on the side of Black Lives Matter. They\u2019re on the side of the lawbreakers.<\/p>\n
For whatever cockamamie reason, they think, Gavin Newsom and the rest of the leftists in California, think that there is political victory to be had by aligning with a Marxist, violent protest group. It\u2019s beyond me to explain it. You\u2019re already kind of in the hole \u2019cause you\u2019re in California and you\u2019re a Christian and a Republican, which means you\u2019re in the vast minority. I don\u2019t know about Christianity, I think there\u2019s a lot more Christians in California. It\u2019s kind of like being a Trump supporter; you\u2019re afraid to say so, particularly when Black Lives Matter rolls into town.<\/p>\n
But I remember, I was reading what was going on in Martinez, and I feel badly for you. They\u2019re targeting towns of all sizes and of all places. But, folks, here again, I want to make a point. Thank you very much for the call, Jan. We\u2019re seeing less and less news reporting of these riots, wherever they are happening, Kike, as I pointed out, Portland, Oregon, yesterday saw the 45th consecutive day of rioting, not just people marching in the streets protesting, but rioting, featuring fires and then looting and this sort of thing. And yet the Drive-By Democrat media is not reporting it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now, there was a time, a short time ago, just weeks ago where you couldn\u2019t escape video footage of every riot. In fact, at night the cable news networks began reporting 5, 6 p.m. on that night\u2019s coming rioting, and they were all excited. Remember that?<\/p>\n
A lot of the these reporters were embedded with the rioters and looters, and they were walking right along with them, reporting what was happening. When Macy\u2019s was looted in New York, the Drive-Bys were right there, just like CNN was outside Roger Stone\u2019s house when he was raided by the jackbooted thugs of the FBI. Now we\u2019re not seeing any of that. We\u2019re not seeing it. We\u2019re not seeing the footage of these riots. Why not, I wonder?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
