RUSH: We have, folks, a couple of more sound bites from the anniversary portion of the program today. And I mentioned these in the previous hour, how prescient I was. You talk about the cutting edge of societal evolution? These bites are both from September 16, 1992 when I did my guest appearance on Firing Line hosted by William F. Buckley Jr, and two bites. Here\u2019s the first.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: This cockamamie idea now that we\u2019ve got to get rid of surnames of sports teams because they somehow all of a sudden, after all these years, have become offensive.<\/p>\n

\"\"BUCKLEY: Like chasing the Indians out of Dartmouth.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: (chuckling) Yes. Yes. Or saying the Washington Redskins football team is offensive, and you\u2019ve got to get rid of the term Redskins and so forth. All of a sudden, can\u2019t do the tomahawk chop. Can\u2019t do this as a fan (chopping) at an Atlanta Braves baseball game without supposedly offending Native Americans.<\/p>\n

RUSH: 1992. How many of you young people think this is a brand-new thing that people are upset about? No, no, no. This is something, this has been brewing since the 1990s, even before that. And the thing to learn from this is that once the left gets on something, they don\u2019t let it go — and it\u2019s been a trademark. The left gets on something, and immediately it\u2019s something (the odds are) we\u2019re gonna oppose.<\/p>\n

So we are immediately on defense. But you if we get tired, if we get worn out, and eventually stop talking about it, they\u2019re gonna prevail and carry the day. And guess what? Because of the coronavirus, all of a sudden now all of these left-wing grievances — \u2019cause of George Floyd and because of all the riots and protests — everybody wants to appease the left.<\/p>\n

Everybody wants to get them to stop burning down buildings and throwing Molotov cocktails. So, okay. “You want to get rid of Redskins? We\u2019ll get rid of Redskins.” The thing nobody learns is that they\u2019re never happy when they get what they want. They always want more, and there\u2019s no end to this. So for those of you who think that the attack on the Washington Redskins as a racist, bigoted name is something new…<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a young person, you think it\u2019s something new and you\u2019re making your bones on it and you\u2019re really feeling good because you think it\u2019s a rotten, racist thing, and you want to… It\u2019s nothing new, and the thing you need to know is, they\u2019ve changed the name. They\u2019ve announced they\u2019re gonna change the name. They don\u2019t know what the new name is yet.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re calling themselves now the Washington Football Club. And even though we\u2019ve gotten rid of the name Redskins, there\u2019s nobody happy. They\u2019re not even celebratory happy that they have won. But they certainly aren\u2019t happy that the name Redskins is gone. I also warned everybody — September 16, 1992 — about multiculturalism, the reprogramming of American children. Here we go…<\/p>\n
