\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, over the course of the many years I\u2019ve hosted this program, I have been unabashed in defining liberals for you, hoping to persuade as many people to agree with me as I can. You know, not everybody does that. For example, I don\u2019t want to mention any names, but there are many in the conservative commentariat — newspaper columns, website bloggers — and they\u2019re not interested in moving public opinion. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s not why they do what they do. They\u2019re not interested in having their work measured in that way, by how many opinions did they change or how much action did they cause. They have a whole different reason for writing or for appearing on TV or what have you. In many cases, if it\u2019s inside-the-Beltway people, they\u2019re doing what they do for everybody else in the Beltway.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re trying to show everybody else how smart they are, but when it comes to… Well, I know this because I\u2019ve asked them. When I was new to all this and talking to people, I would I would ask them, “Well, now, okay, so you write opinion columns. Do you track whether or not your column\u2019s influential?”<\/line><\/p>\n

“No, no! Who\u2019s got time for that? How could you do it anyway? That\u2019s not why I do this.”<\/p>\n

“So why are you doing it? I would think if you\u2019re writing an opinion piece you want to be somewhat influential or persuasive.” <\/p>\n

“No, no, no! I haven\u2019t got time for that. That\u2019s not the point. I\u2019m doing commentary.” <\/p>\n

Well, speaking for myself, I have always sought to be persuasive. I\u2019m very proud of what I believe. It\u2019s why I\u2019m writing these two books for the kids, and a third which will no doubt drop at some point. I\u2019m doing it to be persuasive. I\u2019m doing it to counter what they\u2019re being taught elsewhere. Writing history books for kids — actually, for everybody in the family — there\u2019s a mission there.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a desire to spread the truth. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a desire to counter the current curriculum. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a desire… I mean, I love this country; I want everybody to. I\u2019m very proud of this country.; I wish everybody was. I appreciate being born in this country; I wish everybody did. I, of course, am trying to spread that word. I love sharing my passions. I happen to be very passionate about freedom and market economics and prosperity and abundance and the opportunity for more. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m very, very bullish on people being the best they can be. I know that leads to happiness and contentment. I\u2019m very bullish on all these things. I want everybody to know what they\u2019re like. I want everybody to be the best they can be. I want everybody to at least give it a shot. I understand the realities. Not everybody will. But I\u2019ve always believed \u2019cause it\u2019s happened to me.<\/line><\/p>\n

People are capable of much more than they know. Everybody needs somebody pushing them. There are very few self-starters out there. There are some, but not very many, particularly expressed as a percentage of the whole population. Everybody needs push. I don\u2019t mean help. I mean, everybody needs somebody telling \u2019em, “Yes, you can do it!” Everybody needs somebody that believes in \u2019em. <\/p>\n

Everybody needs somebody saying, “You are better than you think you are. You can do more than you think you can. You can be more than you think you can be. You can accomplish more than you think you can.” We all need encouragement! Everybody needs encouragement. Even after you do a good job and you know it\u2019s a good job, you love hearing feedback on it. <\/p>\n

Everybody.<\/p>\n

We just do. People need this. I want people to think the way I do. I\u2019m very proud of it. I make no apologies for that. So every day, I\u2019m trying to be as persuasive as I can. I\u2019m constantly looking for new ways to be persuasive. I have learned what doesn\u2019t work; I\u2019ve learned some things that do. I\u2019m frustrated that there\u2019s so much rigid opposition based on: It\u2019s just easier to take things than it is to provide them yourself.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easier to let somebody go steal something and give it to you than work for it yourself in some people. That\u2019s the kind of thing I would like to counter. But you boil it all down, the purpose of the books is to encourage young people to love this country and to appreciate it, to have a reverence for it. Because it\u2019s worth it. It\u2019s to help them to understand the really glorious opportunity they have because they were born here. It\u2019s all about the ingredients necessary for this to be a great country. <\/p>\n

So, yeah, I am trying to persuade. When I come here each and every day and tell you what I think about liberals, it\u2019s not just to bash them. It\u2019s not just to crack jokes or be funny or say things that nobody else will say. I really want you to think it. I wouldn\u2019t say it if I didn\u2019t believe it. When I say “I hope he fails,” I damn well meant every word of it. And I was prepared and did explain precisely why, and it had nothing to do with America failing. It was not nuanced. It was right there, flat-out in the open. <\/p>\n

When I say — it\u2019s very sad that this is the case — there are people in this country who really don\u2019t like it, there are people in this country who hate it, it\u2019s true. And I wish it weren\u2019t. I don\u2019t understand it. I mean, I do understand it. But there\u2019s a part of me that doesn\u2019t. There\u2019s a part of me that thinks that kind of thing ought to be able to be overcome. We ought to be able to somehow reach people who hate this country and tell \u2019em they\u2019re wrong and turn \u2019em in a different direction, for their own good and for the country\u2019s own good. <\/p>\n

When I tell you that there are people that have a chip on their shoulder about this country, think it\u2019s not deserving of superpower status, the country was founded in immorality, is unjust, it was a stacked deck from the beginning. People believe this stuff. They really, really do. I\u2019m not just trying to be outrageous in my claims so that you\u2019ll remember it. In other words, there\u2019s not a marketing or programming technique here other than just being honest with you. I think Barack Obama is one of these guys. <\/line><\/p>\n

I think he\u2019s one of these guys that was raised and taught that this country is actually an imperialist, colonialist place that\u2019s run around stealing the resources of other countries, bringing \u2019em back here and used them to create our wealth. That we really are not prosperous on our own, it couldn\u2019t happen. No country could be this far ahead of any other country without some crime being committed. And he clearly thinks this country needs to be cut down to size, and he clearly does not believe that this country has any moral authority over any other. And the Democrat Party\u2019s just like him. They all believe that this country is not exceptional, that there\u2019s nothing special about it and, in fact, it\u2019s guilty of things: racism and bigotry and sexism and homophobia and all of this stuff, and it\u2019s about time this country is chopped down to size. <\/p>\n

Now, when I say these things, I\u2019m trying to be persuasive. I mean it when I say I think one of the cures for what ills us is if more people saw the world ideologically. We don\u2019t need bipartisanship. What we need is super partisanship. We need more people admitting that they are conservative and voting that way and that\u2019s how this country\u2019s gonna be saved. We need more people willing to speak up proudly. Even though being conservative\u2019s mocked, ridiculed, laughed at, made fun of and scorned in the Drive-By Media, it\u2019s worth standing up for. It is the solution. It\u2019s the way the country was founded. And I have no qualms whatsoever in saying so. I am trying to effect as much change in that direction as I can on the radio. I know some people: “Well, you could do more.” I know. I know. But where I am happens to be on the radio. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Now, all of that is a prelude to a little news item here that I found at the great website Breitbart<\/a>. And it illustrates exactly what I\u2019m talking about, and it illustrates what we\u2019re up against. “La Raza President and CEO Janet Murguia said it sickened her to hear Americans against illegal immigration chanting ‘USA! USA!\u2019 at protests around the country.” And she singled out the people who live in Murrieta, California<\/a>. “Singling out the Murrieta demonstrators during her keynote address at La Raza\u2019s annual conference in Los Angeles on Monday, Murguia accused them of having ‘cloaked their hatred in patriotism\u2019 by shouting ‘”USA! USA!”‘ again and again.\u2019<\/p>\n

“‘It made me angry,\u2019 she said. ‘In fact, I was outraged.\u2019 Murguia demanded that the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants who are currently here receive amnesty and said the road to the White House for Republicans goes through the Latino community and La Raza.”<\/p>\n

Well, if it does, we\u2019re never gonna win, because they are never going to support a Republican. Never! “She also said Republicans who want to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program or do not want to pass comprehensive amnesty legislation will not get Hispanic votes. And she repeatedly claimed that protesting illegal immigration was ‘un-American.'”<\/p>\n

My point to you is that this stuff that\u2019s going on at the border is all about liberals not liking this country. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, here\u2019s the point. What\u2019s going on down at the border, this La Raza babe says that when she hears some people showing up shouting “USA, USA,” that what she hears is hatred cloaked in patriotism. And let me just tell her how she\u2019s wrong. This is Janet Murguia, the CEO of La Raza. <\/line><\/p>\n

Janet, what you\u2019re hearing when you hear people at your speeches shouting, “USA, USA,” you\u2019re hearing love. The people of Murrieta, California, love America. They don\u2019t hate it, and they don\u2019t hate you, and they don\u2019t hate these kids crossing the border. They love America. The truth of the matter is that what\u2019s going on at the border here, the Democrat Party is helping attract people like those who are coming, by criticizing, by blaming. This country is evil. This country\u2019s filled with injustice. This country is filled with racism and sexism, and we must let these people in to prove to the world how we\u2019re not any of those things and so forth. <\/p>\n

The fact is that the people behind this, the people who are trying to engineer a permanent underclass of voters for the Democrat Party, they are the people that have a problem with America. These people that are coming in the country that are downtrodden and poor, you know why they\u2019re downtrodden and poor? Because America made \u2019em that way. That\u2019s what they think. We got too much. They don\u2019t have enough. It\u2019s unfair. We should be forced to give them what we\u2019ve taken from them in the first place. That\u2019s what\u2019s driving all of this. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a reason why Obama is not gonna visit the border, and that\u2019s because once you see what\u2019s going on there, you have no choice, you got to shut it down. But if he doesn\u2019t go, if he doesn\u2019t see it, then he won\u2019t shut it down. And he does not want to shut this down. The Democrats do not want to shut this down. The Democrats think we deserve this. <\/p>\n

The Democrats think that somehow it\u2019s this country\u2019s fault that these people are living the way they\u2019re living. It\u2019s either our thirst for drugs that\u2019s causing the existence of the drug cartels or it\u2019s the fact that our economic policies have resulted in us getting all the goodies in the world and depriving the rest of the world what was rightfully theirs. It\u2019s the same belief why there are poor people in America, is the rich stole it from \u2019em, the rich have an unfair share, and they got rich on the backs of the poor. So we gotta raise taxes and give it to the poor to make it even \u2019cause this country\u2019s so unjust. It\u2019s the same thinking. <\/p>\n

There is poverty in Mexico and El Salvador, Ecuador, and Guatemala, because we have taken all the good stuff. We get all the money. We make all the products and we export all the oil and we use all the oil and we\u2019re polluting the planet. We\u2019re destroying the plane, and these people are in dirt-poor poverty, it\u2019s our fault, and they only have a right to improve their lives, and if they happen to do that by coming here, who are we to say no? And that\u2019s what\u2019s driving this. There\u2019s no love driving this. None. The people who love this country are the people like those in Murrieta who show up and tell Janet Murguia “USA, USA.” They are expressing love for their country, not hatred for somebody else. <\/p>\n

And another thing: Opposing liberalism does not equal hate. But that\u2019s what they want it to be. You oppose Obama, you hate him. You oppose Biden, you hate him. You oppose La Raza, you must hate Hispanics. If you oppose the Reverend Jackson, you must hate blacks. Screw that, folks. There isn\u2019t any hate that drives any of this. What drives this, what drives this partisan divide is love for this country that we all feel, and the shock and the anger and the fear when we see what\u2019s happening to it. <\/line><\/p>\n

You want a little bit more evidence here? Try this, from a very, very disturbed, saddened, almost crying Associated Press<\/a>. “Honduran Families Deported Back to a Bleak Future — Elsa Ramirez already had lost two brothers to violence in this remote Caribbean region when co-workers handling clandestine cocaine flights from South America murdered her husband four months ago. Then the killers came looking for her.” <\/p>\n

Why? Well, the story doesn\u2019t tell us why. We\u2019re never told why Elsa Ramirez is being targeted by killers. So we\u2019re left to assume maybe her husband was a drug dealer, which might be why there\u2019s a lot of violence in Honduras. But let me continue with the story. <\/p>\n

“Ramirez had seen Facebook messages and heard from relatives that mothers travelling to the United States with children would be allowed to stay if they made it across the border.” So, see, she is targeted for murder, everything\u2019s a disaster where she lives, but there\u2019s this beacon, on Facebook: “Come to America and you can stay. Welcome to America, I\u2019m Barack Obama, I\u2019m taking care of you,” whatever the message. It\u2019s a sign out there. And so they show up. <\/p>\n

“She took off for the North with her 8-year-old, Sandra, and 5-year-old Cesar, named for his dead father.” She had seen Facebook messages and heard from relatives that mothers traveling to America with children would be allowed to stay. Where did they get that idea? We\u2019ve never had open borders. We don\u2019t just let anybody in. From 1924 to 1965 we shut down immigration. How many people know that? There was none! We closed the borders so that those who had arrived could assimilate and become American, which they wanted to do, by the way. They learned English. They became accustomed to American holidays. They wanted to become Americans. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s not happening with immigration today, at least not universally. We shut it down. And then Ted Kennedy came along, “This is not good. We gotta open it up and I guarantee you we\u2019re gonna control it,” and it was only 20 years later, Simpson-Mazzoli, we had to do amnesty for three million. After no immigration from \u201924 to \u201965 then we open the border again, and in 20 years we\u2019re out of control, three million undocumented, living in the shadows, you know the drill. Ted Kennedy comes out, “We gotta do amnesty.” Simpson-Mazzoli, Reagan signed it with the promise that we would secure the border, close it, it wouldn\u2019t happen again. <\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re up to — well, the public number is 12 million now. The early promises in \u201986, securing the border, meant nothing. Just like it meant nothing in \u201965 when Ted Kennedy started making the case again. It\u2019s all predictable. So, anyway, back here to Elsa Ramirez and what I think is meant to be the mother of all sob stories.<\/p>\n

“Two weeks and many thousands of miles later, a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement flight brought Ramirez back to the badlands of Honduras in Colon province, still fearing her husband\u2019s killers and now lacking a plan for survival. ‘I didn\u2019t want to come back,\u2019 she said. ‘I wanted to give my children a better life and I can\u2019t do that here.\u2019<\/p>\n

“Overwhelmed by unaccompanied minors and women with children crossing illegally, US authorities have stepped up deportations back to Central America. Ramirez was one of 58 women and children who returned last week on a US flight to San Pedro Sula, considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world.”<\/p>\n

Actually, the number was only 36. There has been no stepping up. There is still only one deportation fight that we\u2019ve heard about. It is not been stepped up. We\u2019re not deporting en masse. It isn\u2019t happening. In fact, the real news is hundreds of thousands of people who have entered the country since January are not showing up for their court dates to report in and further the process. They have somehow found their way to the shadows. <\/p>\n

And right here on schedule is AP trying to tug at our heartstrings. This story, they\u2019re trying to influence you. They\u2019re trying to change your mind. They\u2019re trying to be persuasive. They\u2019re trying to ladle guilt upon guilt upon guilt on you so that you\u2019ll finally cave in and say, “Oh, come on, I can\u2019t stand it, we can\u2019t send people back to a war-torn murder area. Let \u2019em stay.” That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to effect, and it isn\u2019t that hard because we\u2019re compassionate people, and we do have big hearts. <\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean, because we\u2019re compassionate and have big hearts, that doesn\u2019t mean we have to stand by and commit national suicide in the process. Because if we do there isn\u2019t gonna be anyplace for people in Honduras to flee. America isn\u2019t gonna be any kind of a escape. It\u2019s not gonna be any better than what they\u2019ve got, if this kind of thing were to go for a long time. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One quick thing here. “Migrant Children are No-Shows at Dallas Immigration Hearings — The youths were among 20 from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala who were set to appear in federal immigration court Tuesday for initial deportation hearings. But they weren\u2019t there — 18 of the children whose cases were set to be heard didn\u00c2\u2019t show up Tuesday for court.” Such naughty scamps! <\/p>\n

They gave their word they would show up. What happened? They promised. They promised that they were gonna be there and they didn\u2019t show up, and now they\u2019re in the shadows. “It was an absentee rate that federal Immigration Judge Michael Baird said was ‘highly unusual,'” 18 out of 20, “so high that he reset the hearings for August 11 rather than possibly issuing a deportation order,” \u2019cause that ain\u2019t gonna happen.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not gonna deport them because they\u2019re future Democrats. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
