Louie Gohmert: Recall McCain
RUSH: If he would have told the people of Arizona that this is what he was gonna do, he would have lost.
Walter Williams: Democrats Destroyed the Black Family and Only They Benefit from It
RUSH: Williams believes that the rise of single-parent families is directly attributable to the creation of the welfare state — the War on Poverty — that the government became the father. The government assumed the financial obligations of the father, meaning the father need not hang around.
The Once-Great NFL Reduced to a Tool of the Left
RUSH: Everything's being done here through the lens of the media, and the owners want these pictures of themselves taking a knee, linking with the players. And they think they're buying something with this. And I don't believe they are.
Rush 24/7 Stack of Stuff
RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I go to prep the show.
Carlos Danger Gets Hard Time — Pun Intended
RUSH: Twenty-one months in prison today for convincing a high school student to undress and touch herself on Skype. Huma was not present at the sentencing.
America Weighs In on NFL Protests
RUSH: This is a workplace issue. And the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech doesn't apply here. The First Amendment only says that the government, Congress shall make no law abridging your right to freedom of speech, state actions. But employers can tell employees what they can say and can't say in certain situations, how to behave, what's a fireable offense. This is absolutely true.
Daughter of NFL Executive Bill Tobin Calls the Program
CALLER: I'm a 27-year veteran of the Army, just retired in January. So we're big military supporters as well. But I had to call — and I can't even believe I'm talking to you — when you mentioned my dad's name, Bill Tobin.
There’s No Way Trump Loses NFL Battle
RUSH: The Democrats are being seen as the party that encourages protest against the anthem and the country itself. I'm telling you, sports media guys and gals, there's no way Donald Trump loses this, the way you've got it going.
Trump Calls Out McCain — Again
RUSH: He simply instinctively knows what a majority of Americans say or think in a specific instance about a specific issue and he says it. And I don't think he has to study it. He doesn't focus group it. He doesn't poll it. He doesn't say to some campaign consultant, "Go out and poll the American people and find out where we are on McCain." He just goes out because he instinctively gets it. You can see it at his rallies.
How the Protest Movement Destroyed Mizzou
RUSH: Mizzou is an early indicator of what happens when an organization — this case, the University of Missouri — gives itself over to the protest movement and allows it to rule the roost and define what happens. The University of Missouri is a ghost town now. It really is. The football team is decimated.
Interesting Takes on Trump and the NFL
RUSH: The left has always believed that malcontents and protesters and people practicing dissent is quintessential America, but most Americans don't think that's what quintessential America is. You see, it just doesn't compute that something you claim to love, you bitch about all the time.
NFL Owners Side with Players Over Customers
RUSH: Customers have shown that they'll put up with a lot. They'll put up with work stoppages. They'll put up with publicly financed stadiums. They'll put up with personal seat licenses of $30,000 for the privilege then of buying a season ticket. They will put up with regular season prices for exhibitions in the preseason that don't even feature players that will be on the final roster. So the fans have shown they'll accept a lot. So if you're an owner in the National Football League and you have this balancing act, who do you side with?
With Great Sadness, I Did Not Watch the National Football League on Sunday
RUSH: I did not watch the National Football League yesterday, and it was the first time in 45 years that I made an active decision not to watch, including my team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was not a decision made in anger. It was genuine sadness.
Rush 24/7 Stack of Stuff
RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I go to prep the show.
Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Gender-Tech

Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Aggravation!

Advice for Dealing with Campus Fascism
RUSH: Twenty percent of college students today in a big national poll this week say that violence against people who say things they don't want to hear is called for.
Caller Thinks Pelosi DACA Protest Was Staged
RUSH: Your view probably is special and a little bit minority view in terms of numbers. But I will ponder it. Because elements of what you say are absolutely true in terms of history. They do organize, they do practice, rehearse. They do pay protesters to come in. There are scripts. I'm glad you called.
Prediction: Power Will Come Back in Puerto Rico Sooner Than They Say
RUSH: I'd be willing to make a wager that power is gonna be back in Puerto Rico long before the Drive-Bys are leading you to believe that it's gonna be back.
