RUSH: What do you think, just off the top of your head — or maybe you\u2019ve heard. What do you think the percentage of the American population is that\u2019s gay? <\/p>\n

Let me just take a stab at it. I\u2019m not gonna mention any names on the other side of the glass. I just want all three of you to tell me what you think the answer. There\u2019s no wrong answer. I mean, there is a wrong answer and a right answer, but I\u2019m not doing this to trick anybody, and there have been recently some media figures who have spouted a figure that\u2019s incorrect. (interruption) <\/p>\n

Okay, well, no, you just tell me: What do you think the gay population of the country is? (interruption) Okay… (interruption) Okay, 5%. What do you think, Snerdley? (interruption) Three percent. What do you think? (interruption) Three? (interruption) What do you think? Five percent of the population. Okay. I think it was The Forehead on CNN recently said that one-out-of-10 Americans are gay. <\/line><\/p>\n

Well, the Washington Post<\/a> says that less than 3% of the US population “identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual,” and these are numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Why would…? Now, wait a minute. Of all government agencies, why would the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention be figuring out the sexual orientation of the American population? <\/p>\n

Well, just asking. I mean, why wouldn\u2019t the Census be reporting these numbers? Why does the Center for Disease Control and Prevention even know this? Well, I can see where they would know given they\u2019re part of government. Why are they the source for this? “The National Health Interview Survey, which is the government\u2019s premier tool for annually assessing Americans\u2019 health and behaviors…”<\/p>\n

(Gasp!) What? Health and behaviors? Okay. “The National Health Interview Survey … found that 1.6% of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7%, seven-tenths of a percent consider themselves bisexual.” So that adds up to 2.3%. “The overwhelming majority of adults, 97.6% label themselves as straight in the survey most recently taken in 2013.”<\/p>\n

“An additional 1.1% declined to answer.” They said they didn\u2019t know or they said they were something else. They were not gay, they were not lesbian, they were not bi, and they were not straight. They were something else. Now, given pop culture, are you shocked that less than 3% of the population is gay<\/a>? I\u2019m just asking. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, you\u2019re a casual observer of media and let\u2019s say that you spend a lot of time watching prime-time television. You can\u2019t miss a television show where one or more of the stars, major characters, are gay. Story lines revolve around the gay lifestyle, homosexuality, any number, both socially and politically. You can\u2019t miss it. It is everywhere in the pop culture. <\/p>\n

Now, how does this happen? If less than 3% of the population is gay, how does 2.3% of the population end up dominating both the pop culture and political worlds? How does this happen? I would venture to say that people who do not know, solely by virtue of their immersion in pop culture, would be shocked to learn the gay population is less than 3%. Most of them would think it\u2019d be much higher, what with all the talk about gay marriage, what with all the gay entertainment story lines presented, by the way, in a positive way, not snarky or anything of the sort. <\/p>\n

So I imagine a lot of people hearing this are surprised. “What? Less than 3%, how can that be?” So put another way, 97% of the population is not. So how does it happen? To me, folks, this is a fascinating question and answer that explains how major culture shift occurs. How in the world can 2% of the American population end up dominating, in many ways, an entire political party and entertainment pop culture? Because there is an answer to this. <\/p>\n

They couldn\u2019t do it alone. They\u2019re not large enough. There aren\u2019t enough. They do not, in strength and numbers alone, have any power whatsoever. So from where do they get their power? How do they derive it and how is it used and how is it implemented? And then how is that power used to persuade? And, by the way, not just persuade, but to effect real change? <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do it another way. What percentage of the population of this country self-identifies as conservative? The last I saw it was 35, 37%, something, might be 33. Don\u2019t know. The exact number is not important. It\u2019s over 30, and it\u2019s under 40, so it\u2019s somewhere in there. The self-identified portion of the population that\u2019s liberal is 20%. The self-admitted gay population is 2%. So how is it that a combined 22% of the population has succeeded in relegating 37% of the population as the real minority, and not just a minority, but an extreme, wacko, insane, lunatic, you name it, minority? <\/p>\n

How has it been possible? How has a genuine, I mean, a microscopic minority been able to flip things on a majority in practically everything? There\u2019s one common element that links all this, and it\u2019s the media. It is the media that expands, solidifies, creates impressions of large and big and powerful, by virtue of — I mean, it\u2019s as simple as saying that if half of the prime-time network television programs feature gay characters and gay story lines in a positive nature, what are average, ordinary, unaware viewers, what are they going to conclude? <\/line><\/p>\n

So it takes this really small minority. Even if you combine the self-identified liberals with the self-identified homosexuals, you\u2019re at 22% versus 37, 35, whatever it is, percent. It\u2019s 37. Thirty-seven percent self-identify as conservative. How has all this happened? And right there, the answer, and you know it as well as I do, it\u2019s the media. The media has decided who they\u2019re going to align with and promote and, in so doing, they have established basically a falsehood. <\/p>\n

They have created an impression that is not accurate that everybody believes, or a lot of people believe. So much so that the self-identified majority in this country now believes that it barely exists. The 37% of the population that identifies as conservative thinks that it is barely hanging on by a thread, in terms of numbers. That 37% thinks it is outnumbered by liberals and that 20% liberals includes African-Americans and probably includes the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender population. So it may not be 22, it may just be 20% total. But if you break that down even further then you\u2019ve got the African-American population is, what, 13% and declining, by the way. <\/p>\n

So how does this happen? Can the media alone do it? Just your average, ordinary, everyday reporters and writers and television hosts, are they enough? Even if they\u2019re all aligned and unified, is that enough to pull this off, or do they need backup, do they need an imprimatur? Who is it that allows them? They\u2019re all employees. Who is it that allows them? The reporters, the television hosts, you name it, the writers of these shows, the producers of these shows, the directors of these shows, who is it that permits them to do all this?<\/p>\n

I mean, if you have knowledge that 2% of the country is gay, why would anybody do prime-time television programming oriented? That\u2019s certainly not mass appeal, so why would you do it? A-ha. You\u2019re not doing it for mass appeal. There\u2019s a political agenda behind it. This is my point. There\u2019s a political agenda to everything that the left does. And part of the political agenda is creating mirages, creating falsehoods, making what isn\u2019t true look real. And they\u2019re able to do it with a combination of consistency and pictures. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fascinating thing. We really are being governed by, we are engaged in a roiling of our culture that is resulting in massive, seemingly overnight changes that are in no way associated with the majority of the country, and yet they continue to happen and made to look as though the real majority barely even exists.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Greg in San Diego as we head to the phones. First call today. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks, Rush. It\u2019s very exciting. I think I have an answer for or at least an opinion on your question about how does the minority relegate a majority. It has to do with distribution of method. In business we always look at our market share. If we were to look at our market share of distribution of our message, Big Government versus conservatism, the Big Government people have about a 95% market share now through the alphabet news stations, ABC, CBS, NBC, academia, newspapers, Hollywood. Where we only have about 5% market share of our distribution of message, mainly through your show, Sean Hannity\u2019s show, several others, and a little bit of Fox News. That\u2019s it.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. You left somebody out of there. You didn\u2019t mention the Republican Party in there, Greg. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Imagine that. (chuckles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughs) You can\u2019t even include the Republican Party in the less government-market share message.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s profound.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s interesting that the same group of people got cut off from funding several years ago because of that. So I guess we\u2019re on our own, the conservatives versus Big Government types. Their market share might get bigger because the distribution now will include the Republicans. So the fight is even bigger. Now, if we sit back and look at how do we increase our market share or distributional methods —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, here. There\u2019s an answer, because now the answer to that involves — I guess — the shrinkage of the sample. We can say, for example, that the homosexual population is less than 3% of the country, but what percentage of the entertainment industry is the gay population?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, can I sidebar for a second? There\u2019s a truck in front of me that has a Reagan-Bush bumper sticker on it. I\u2019m on the freeway.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is there a gun rack that you can see in the rear window?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. It\u2019s just a Chevrolet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s a Chevrolet? And still on the road? With a Reagan-Bush sticker?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Surprised it\u2019s not pulled over with its foot out waiting for a tow truck. Just kidding. Anyway, let\u2019s go back to distribution of message.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about. If you reduce the sample size, instead of saying what is the gay population of the country and reduce it to what is the gay population of the entertainment industry, you got a big difference there, I would guess. I have no idea what the number is, but I know it\u2019s larger than 3% — and it\u2019s gotta be way, way higher than that. <\/p>\n

But even with that, even with that, it still takes a legitimizing factor. It also requires a portrayal of the gay lifestyle in a certain way in order to create the message that you want. You can\u2019t just have gay characters. You\u2019ve gotta portray them in a certain way. All of this requires a common element. It requires the media, be it ownership, be it the news… You can say that the TV itself is media, which it is. <\/line><\/p>\n

The market share example is a good way to look at it, but then when you get into market share, market share doesn\u2019t explain everything. In business, the most sought-after thing is the profit. You can have all the market share in the world; if you\u2019re not profitable, it won\u2019t matter. I give you two examples, Samsung versus Apple, without getting into great detail about that. <\/p>\n

Regardless, no matter how we do this, it\u2019s all going to end up back at the media. It\u2019s gonna end up back at the media and who runs that, to explain all of this massive cultural shift, all of the political shift, the cultural change. It\u2019s all gonna lead back to that, and I tell you if you want to take it there, it\u2019s all gonna lead back to the ruling class versus country class. <\/p>\n

Always. The ruling class is a small bunch of people compared to the rest of the country. They\u2019re tiny. Call \u2019em the elites, whatever you want. The 1%, the truly rich, they are tiny. But the power! What gives them the power? How do they use it and so forth? It\u2019s all being done here to illustrate the size of the challenge that exists here. <\/p>\n

You can either come up with a strategy to wrest control of the media from those who currently have it, or you can devise a strategy that would seek to discredit the message of the media. Regardless of however you go, whichever strategy you decide to employ, it\u2019s a massive undertaking.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Gay bashing? There wasn\u2019t any of that. (interruption) Oh, I can see your point, but I wouldn\u2019t worry about it. Snerdley\u2019s all concerned that my brilliant segment on perceptions in the first hour is going to lead to stories of me gay bashing. There wasn\u2019t any gay bashing. Everything in it was factual. <\/p>\n

Greetings, and welcome back, El Rushbo, serving humanity, executing assigned host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes. Our telephone number is 800-282-2882, e-mail address ElRushbo@eibnet.com. <\/p>\n

I did forget one salient piece of data. The Centers for Disease Control reports — of all the government agencies it\u2019s kind of odd that they would be reporting this instead of the Census, but nevertheless, the CDC says that 2.3% of the American population self-identifies as gay. Now, that, by the way, self-identifies, it\u2019s not that it\u2019s been discovered. This is what people admit. So it could be a little higher, could be a little lower, it\u2019s all dependent on how honest people are with the researcher. But we\u2019ll use the 2.3% number since that\u2019s what\u2019s published. The thing I left out is the percentage of the population that\u2019s gay that the American public believe is true. What do you think that is? <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, this all started with me asking the trusted and loyal staff here for their wild guesses on what they thought the percentage of the population in America that\u2019s gay is, and they said three to five percent. The Forehead, Paul Begala on CNN said recently that one in 10. I think it was The Forehead, said that one in 10 Americans are gay. The number\u2019s 2.3%. But then when I left out was what does the average American believe the gay population percentage is, and why? <\/p>\n

Most Americans, a majority of Americans think that the gay population is 13 times higher than 2.3%. And that is a testament and the evidence of the assertion that I made that you cannot — I mean, you have the self-admitted majority in this country is conservatives, 37%. The people who self-admit or self-identify as liberal is 20%. And then of that 20%, 2.3% for the most part identify as gay. Now, most gays are leftist, but there may be some who aren\u2019t. So it\u2019s not necessarily true that all 2.3% are contained in the 20% that identify as liberals, but it\u2019s close. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see the actual number here. It\u2019s 13 times. The average American believes that the gay population is 13 times higher than the 2.3% that it really is. And that\u2019s the media. But the media can\u2019t do it alone. They have to have people that allow them to. They\u2019re all employees. We had a caller talk about market share. “Wait a minute, Rush, the percentage of the population is one thing, but what about market share?” And he said the market share for the proposition that Big Government\u2019s the answer to everything is 95%. They own it, they\u2019re everywhere, and that may be five or 10 percent wrong either way, but the market share argument is also interesting, at least to facilitate an understanding of the challenge ahead.<\/p>\n

I think something crucial in all this is literally understanding why something is, you know, what is the nature of the problem, what\u2019s the reason for it. So essentially young Americans, defined as Americans under 35, believe 30% of the population\u2019s gay. How does that happen? The real percentage is 2.3, but persons under 35 think it\u2019s 30%. Now, you and I know the answer to this. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that there are TV shows that star gay actors and actresses. They\u2019re now portraying gay characters with gay storylines, and they\u2019re positive. They are excellent parents. They have warm and fun-loving families and all this. They\u2019re now becoming preachers and ministers. So you see how a purposeful effort can succeed. You can take a genuine minority and convince people that it is much larger than it is. But it really is in the pop culture that you find the primary agents of influence, I think. <\/p>\n

So, again, it\u2019s just a way of illustrating how this happens, and I firmly believe that you couldn\u2019t — again, I don\u2019t mean to be repetitive here — but you couldn\u2019t have any of this happen were it not for the fact that the bosses want this to happen. The people that run the entertainment networks, companies, organizations, TV studios, movie studios, publishing houses, they want it to happen. They may, in fact, actually be gay themselves. That\u2019s where the market share argument comes into play. You can say, “Okay, the population of the country, 2.3%, but what is the population percentage of Hollywood that\u2019s gay?” It\u2019s gonna be a much larger number. <\/p>\n

A fascinating thing to me is that the functioning, real live, living and breathing majority has successfully been relegated to a status that most people think is dying out, barely holding on, made up of some of the weirdest, kookiest, stupidest freaks. That\u2019s the majority in this country and how it is thought of. The majority, in terms of self-identifying. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
