1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: As I predicted, as I warned you all yesterday, gun

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: control has become the central theme of the drive by

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: media after the tragedy here the massacre at Virginia TECHT

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: by the way, speaking of something that we were just

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: talking about, this this guy was sending out clear warning

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: signs that he was not right, and nobody would do

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: anything about it on the campus. I mean, they sent

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: him to counseling. They don't know how that went. Uh,

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: it might have been taking antity pressents. We don't know

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: what the effect of that was. He was he went

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: to some institution for while we don't know how that went.

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: We also have just learned that the guy's writings, which

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: we did know about, but what we just learned is

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: the guy's writings were so scary that there were people

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: that refused to go to his class. They refused to

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: actually go in the classroom when this guy was there.

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: So they're clearly we're all kinds of of warning signs

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: about this that we're not heated in a in a

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: serious way. And it's said, it's very easy to start

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: running around and say, well, band guns, it's a GOP's faults,

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Bush's faults. Get rid of the n r A rather

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: than actually deal with what circumstances people had known for

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: years prior to this guy committing this random act yesterday.

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think the Democrats heard me,

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Dingy Harry's out there. So no, we can't start talking

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: about gun control now, yo, yeah, don't. Let's not rush

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: to gun control is the headline of the story on

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: Dingji here. There's no question that Democrats are drive by

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: media didn't but but the Democrats did. But I want

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: to explore something entirely different than banning guns, and that

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: would be a ban on political correctness. You people, and

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: you know who you are. I'm getting emails from you,

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: some of you have called, and you're you're lamenting the

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: soft structure of the American child these days, the American

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: young person. Why didn't they gang tackle this guy? Why

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: why why didn't they just overpower this guy once they

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: started firing. And I'll and they all everybody's got their theories.

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: And one of the theories, one of those common theories

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: that I'm hearing in my email and on the phones here,

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: is that we're gonna come on rush. I mean, from

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: kindergarten on they're taught conflict resolution, don't defend anybody, don't

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: make anybody mad. And and and well what is that

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: if not political correctness? And it may be a factor. Uh,

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't really know, but let me put it to

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: you in the form of a series of questions. What

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: might have had a better chance of preventing the carnage

47
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: on the campus of Virginia Tech. A law banning guns

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: which they had that was a gun free zone, or

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: a law banning political correctness. Now I know what some

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: of you saying, but rush, but rush, but rush. It

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: was two guns. And by gosh, that's true, folks. Thanks

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: for reminding me there were two guns the guy here.

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: But let me remind you the killer was a senior.

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: He was in that university for four years, and his

55
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: mental state was not a secret. And this university is

56
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: an institution of higher learning. They have lecturers, they have advisors,

57
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: they have teachers, professors, deans, and all these people have degrees,

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: postgraduate degrees, doctorate degrees. Before he was in this university

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: for four years, he was in a half screwel. And

60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: before he was in the half screwel, he was in

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the middle school. Not even now we are just beginning

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: to learn some of the warning signs, the flares, these

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: were not it's not even this guy was sending up

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: flares and didn't anybody notice? Was everybody so concerned with

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: the trumped up global warming scare they didn't notice a

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: real threat? For example? And how about this guy's Korean,

67
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: he's Asian? How many people refused to do anything about

68
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: it or even complained about him because they would be

69
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: tagged as racists And not just because he's Korean, but

70
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: he's a minority. How many people in our school system,

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: from you know, k kindergarten on up through the senior

72
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: in high school and all that have been have been

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: have been by virtue political correctness. You you don't you

74
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: don't comment on people who are in a minority, no

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: matter what they're doing is you're gonna be called bigoted,

76
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna be called prejudiced. That worse, you might even

77
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: be called a racist. So I wonder how many of

78
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: the students at this campus live in daily fear of

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: global warming because of what is no doubt being taught

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: there and every other college campus. Uh, that's a you know,

81
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: a trumped up scare and they don't even notice a

82
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: real threat. Well, it's hard to say that because somebody,

83
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people noticed something wrong with this guy,

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: whether that equal to threat to them? Well, we know

85
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: that it did with some because they refused to go

86
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: to the class where he submitted all these writings. You

87
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: do not have to be a talk show host. You

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: don't have to be a conservative or a Republican or

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: a moderate to ask this, how is it that we

90
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: have outlawed standards of behavior? Where is our where is

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: our sense of community and civic responsibility? Has all that

92
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: has held our society together? Been swept away by political correctness?

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Well you might have some people come on rethew can't

94
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: think that about it. He was he was just doing

95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: his own thing, and we didn't want to invade his faith. Uh,

96
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: he's Asian. We we we didn't want any fibl right lawfuit.

97
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: If we tingle him out for aber behavior, where would

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: it stop. So this, this is the paralysis caused by

99
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: political correctness. But the fault, my friends, lies in ourselves.

100
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: Not in a gun shop, not in a gun not

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: in a not in a not in the hall of Congress,

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: House and Senate, not in Washington. Easy to say that

103
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: we need more gun laws, But what's not so easy

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: to say is that we need less political correctness and

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: we need a lot more return to some sensible values

106
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: that exists. Uh. You know, one of the tenants of

107
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: political correctness. You can't judge anybody. You can't judge him,

108
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: even when you know that there's something wrong with him.

109
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: They can't offend them. You can't offend them. So what

110
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: do you do? You just don't go to class when

111
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: this guy shows up with his wacko writings. Uh, you

112
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: do your best to send him to an institution some drugs.

113
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: But even that you know you can't offend, you don't,

114
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't judge. Uh, it's you just leave

115
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: people alone. It's none of your business, this sort of thing.

116
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: And uh, this leads to paralysis, which is part of

117
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: It's one of the many things that we had at

118
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech earlier in the week. I just finished a

119
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: brilliant monalogue on the concept of banning political correctness for

120
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: the good of our kids and the good of our society.

121
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this montage here of

122
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: NBC's Meredith Vieria wolf Blitzer. Have a psychotherapist Karen Stark,

123
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Chris Matthews of Hardball. I still wonder if he's going

124
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: to resign and let a minority take his position at MSNBC.

125
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: Remind me to bring that up because I think it

126
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: running a pole at Russia lymball dot com. Who at

127
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: MSNBC should resign to allow a minority to have a

128
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: primetime show? Uh? In fact, we are going to do that.

129
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: I'll give you the choices here in in just sex.

130
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: So we got Matthews, We've got brand Williams. We've got

131
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: a forensic psychologist Dr. Helen Morrison h and Larry King,

132
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: and they're weighing in on the very thing we've been

133
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: talking about. The profile of this guy, the shooter and

134
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: uh and and and the warning signs were all there.

135
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 1: Listened to these frustrated questions from the drive by media

136
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: types and the psychotherapists. Is there a profile for someone

137
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: who would do something like this? It seems like the

138
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: classic profile. He's Alona, which fits the profile. What do

139
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: you do when you have a kid who looks like

140
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: the profile who might go on a rampage? The classic

141
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: profile of the loner who exhibited trouble? Isn't that a

142
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: trend that deserves now more resources? We see the typical

143
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: profile of a mass murderer. Is there anyway to spot

144
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: them before? Can we profile this type of person? Love?

145
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: How does this happen? They all end up asking the

146
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: same question, can we end up profile? Can you imagine

147
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: if if this guy was Islamic? Would we be asking

148
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: the question? Now? They want to profile Asian Americans. Now,

149
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: they want to profile people that they think can be

150
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: identified as people are gonna go out and shoot thirty

151
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: two people in one morning, And I'm telling you that

152
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: can't be profile. I don't care what these people say.

153
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen enough. You can't profile somebody's gonna do

154
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: that just because they're a loner, just because they play

155
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: video game, just because they have a gun. All these

156
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: things may add up. The thing you profile is he

157
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: was a nutcase, and they're all asking is there something

158
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: we can profile? Yes, it was all over. The guy

159
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: was screaming what's the thing? The left says it was

160
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: a desperate cry for help? What Mr Snrdley, what's the question?

161
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: You're interrupting me here in the brilliant riff. Its better

162
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: be a good question. M hm. That's exactly what I'm saying.

163
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: We can't profile them if they kill three thousand. We

164
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: cannot if we can't profile the Islamo fashion, No, no, no,

165
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: we can't. We can't even profile them in those uh

166
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: the Transportation Safety authorities they were you go through the

167
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: metal detectors. There can't profile them in there. No, your

168
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: little grandmother might get wanted, your six year old might

169
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: get wanted. You might have to give up your your

170
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: shaving lotion or shaving creamer. What we can't know, We can't.

171
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: The same people who agree that we shouldn't be profiling

172
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: Islamo fash just not want to profile people like this.

173
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: And there's there was a profile. Nobody paid any attention

174
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: to it in a serious fashion. Nobody paid it to

175
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they tried to give him drugs, and they

176
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: sent him to the funny farm and all, but nobody

177
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: didn't think about getting him off campus. Uh See, that's

178
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: why I said, it's so easy to start talking about guns.

179
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: These guys don't know how they're undercutting your own argument.

180
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: What what are they saying? Are they asking? Isn't there

181
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: a way to profile a madman with a gun? Uh?

182
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: These people are so out of it they don't even

183
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: realize how they set themselves up for people like me.

184
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: Where where are these same questions after nine eleven? In fact,

185
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: we've gone just the opposite. They can't profile them at all.

186
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: David and Columbia, Mississippi. Hello, sir, welcome to the Rush

187
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: Limball program, Ali Rush, thanks for taking my call. Greetings

188
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: from Trina Ravage, South Mississippi. Right, Yes, you made a

189
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: point about gun control's impotence, another law not being relevant

190
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: and m Columbine, what three gun laws were violated? Another

191
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: one wouldn't have mattered. You know, this guy had chained

192
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: and lucks. You could have had a five gallon gas

193
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: tank of gasoline and would have done a lot of damage.

194
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: Of course I made that point. Yes, a fertilizer and

195
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: so forth, blew up the mirror building. And but you

196
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: can get this guy filed the serial numbers off the

197
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: gun too. I mean it clearly indicates a criminal intent. Right. Well,

198
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: you know you've made the point about folks not being prepared. Um,

199
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: you know before the nine eleven hijackings, people weren't ready

200
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: for that. After nine eleven, they wouldn't have put up

201
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: if people trying to take over the airplane. Uh, same

202
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: thing about Virginia take today. Somebody would be able to

203
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: do something like that. We did have Columbine, though we

204
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: did have precedent about schools being attacked. Um, your point

205
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: about political craignis is only really semi tongue in cheek.

206
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: For instance, you know one of the guys at the

207
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: one of the victims, was an eagle scout and he

208
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: was trained to be to keep his head. He was

209
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: shot in the leg and ruptured his female artery and

210
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: if he hadn't kept his head, he would have bled

211
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: to death. But he was able to staunish the bleeding

212
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: and tie his leg up with electrical cord while shot.

213
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to take a break here. I'm gonna

214
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: hold you through the break. I want you to get

215
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: to what you called about, because I thought I could

216
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: squeeze you in a minute and a half. Back to

217
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: David and Columbia, Mississippi. All right? And where were you

218
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: headed with this the eagle scout? And then my point

219
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: is that people American citizens can be trained to react

220
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: under pressure or in emergencies. Um, this guy was trained

221
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: just as in the voluntary organization. It doesn't require a

222
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of extra work. If you would have you know,

223
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: if if they would just have a portion of emergency

224
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: preparedness in Wait, wait a minute, Wait a minute, are

225
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: you talking You're not talking about emergency service training like paramedics.

226
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,239
Speaker 1: You're you're you're talking about in this case, the students

227
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: who are watching this guy shoot the gun learn what

228
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: to do to stop him. Yeah, keep their heads. Uh.

229
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean obviously you can't train them to be commandos,

230
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: but you can train people to keep their heads and

231
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: think logically, what if somebody had just passed a big

232
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: heavy But you know, we got a we got a

233
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: we we got generation after generation of political correctness that

234
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: we would have to somehow erase from people's minds to

235
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: do this. Um I I look, I understand what you're saying.

236
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: And this seems to be a budding theme out there

237
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: that we need to do something here to to get

238
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: people to toughen up in these circumstances, average citizens who

239
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: are involved in whatever these events happen to be, rather

240
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: than to sit around way to or run away. Uh.

241
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: I want to take you back to Columbine. Remember after

242
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: the Columbine massacre. Uh, there was the Clinton administration mounted

243
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: this huge push for new gun control and it was crushed.

244
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: And do you remember I doubt that many of you

245
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: will remember this. Do you remember what the given reason

246
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: was that the conventional wisdom on why the two Columbine

247
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: shooters did what they did. I will tell you we

248
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: were told that they were teased. Those two boys were

249
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: teased and laughed at and made fun of by their classmates.

250
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: And from now on we should be careful of that

251
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: sort of behavior, because if we start teasing people and

252
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: making fun of them and making them outcasts, then they

253
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: might act on some of the movies they see, or

254
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: the video games they play, or the television shows that

255
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: they watch, and so forth. So let's let's extrapolate that

256
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: and move forward here to Virginia Tech. Uh, how would

257
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: it manifest itself? Well, don't call him, don't don't call

258
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: this choga a newt, a nut, don't don't you know,

259
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: don't don't don't point him out to others. Don't don't say, oh,

260
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: this guy's a wacko. Don't just just he might explode.

261
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: He might, this guy might blow up. Just let's just

262
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: no go to class when he's there. Let's just accept

263
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the problem is he did explode, and we don't know

264
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: whether he was teased or not. But I mean this

265
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: is this is an outgrowth of political correctness. Uh, don't

266
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: tease him. And of course, what is the real meaning

267
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: of this, the real meaning when you when you came

268
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: up with this conventional wisdom, those boys were being teased.

269
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: They were they were made to feel like outcast. In

270
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: the process of doing that, you you in a way,

271
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: you justify their actions. Well, yeah, what do you expect

272
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: him to do? They put on those long black coats,

273
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: that grabbed their machine guns, they went on this shooting.

274
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: What do you expect them to do? They spent their

275
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: whole youth being laughed at and made fun of. Girls

276
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't go out with him on dates. They made fun

277
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: of their acne and pimples and zips and so forth.

278
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: And that's that. That is how this political correctness is

279
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: justified because you then come out and you justify what

280
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: they did because of the actions and behaviors of others,

281
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: regardless whether it's mass murder or is the commission of

282
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: a bank robbery or something like that. And that's where

283
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: political correctness has taken us. And of course the umbrella

284
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: under all this, don't offend anybody, don't insult them, and

285
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: don't don't don't make the mad. Uh they might go

286
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: nuts when they're gonna go nuts anyway at some point. Uh.

287
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: And it's not because of being laughed at or made

288
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: fun of. They've got something wrong with them, which was

289
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: clearly evident. Uh in the in this guy's case, authors

290
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: what checked the timing on this? This um? This hit

291
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: last night about nine o'clock. Authors of a new comprehensive

292
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: analysis of antidepressants for children and teenagers say the benefits

293
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: of treatment trump the small risk of increasing some patient's

294
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: chances of having suice titled Thoughts and Behaviors. The risk

295
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: they found is lower than the one the Food and

296
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: Drug Administration identified in two thousand four, the year the

297
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: agency warned the public about the drugs risk in children.

298
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: So you can sit there and you can say, uh

299
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: that that well, yeah, yeah, it might get suicidal. But

300
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: that's a small risk compared to what might happen. I

301
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: only bringing this up because it's we were told this

302
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: guy was prescribed at any precedents. I don't if he

303
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: took them or not. This is David from parts on

304
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: on in Pennsylvania. Welcome to the E I B Network. Sir,

305
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Hello Rush, this is a privilege. Thank you sir, I

306
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: think you hit the nail on the head again with

307
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: implying that political correctness is causing paralysis to action. I teach,

308
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: and we've noticed recently that students do not participate in class.

309
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: And this is a bunch of colleges, and we actually

310
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: think that perhaps political correctness has gotten them in a

311
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: situation at any time they open their mouths, they're afraid

312
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: they're going to get dumped on or they're gonna offend somebody.

313
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: Are they gonna make somebody mad? And that's going to

314
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: lead to them getting dumped on. That's right, And I

315
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: think it is a very good idea that you hit

316
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: that nail on the head. I think, thank you very much.

317
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: I appreciate that we in case you missed this about

318
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: an hour and a half ago, I positive theory. And

319
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: rather than band guns, we need to ban political correctness.

320
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: We just need to get rid of it. It leads

321
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: to paralysis, It leads to fear, and it leads to

322
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: people not being who they are. You want to give

323
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: me a couple of examples of it, and this this,

324
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: these are true stories. London Sunday Times headline don't stare

325
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: at Muslims says advice to schools. Pupils and teachers have

326
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: been told by an official body not to stare at

327
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: Muslims for fear of causing offense. The document, intended to

328
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: educate against religious intolerance and sectarian is um, urges to

329
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: cheers to make this quote and make pupils aware of

330
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: the various forms of his Lamophobia, i e. Stairs verbal abuse,

331
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: physical abuse. Osama, said, a spokesman for the Muslim Association

332
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: of Britain, accused officials are going too far. Look, there

333
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: are more, far more serious elements of his lamophobia. People

334
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: people look at all sorts of things that that can

335
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: just be a glance, a glance at the stare at

336
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: two different things. Glances happen naturally with all sorts of

337
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: things catch your eye, whereas a stare is probably gawking

338
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: at something. Personally, I've not encountered much of a problem

339
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: with people staring. I don't know how you would legislate

340
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: for that. That's not going to stop them. I mean,

341
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: good for him for speaking out, but don't stay there there.

342
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: They're they're they're they're not this, They're gonna be stopped.

343
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that the pupils and teachers they

344
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: will continue to be told don't stare at Muslims, that

345
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: might incite them. Then try this from this was Tuesday,

346
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: same paper, a different paper. This is the UK Telegraph.

347
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: Don't stare at the apes zoo tells visitors. Most people

348
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: visit the zoos to see the animals, but visitors to

349
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: Antwerp Zoo in Belgium are being told not to look

350
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: at the apes. Now here's why. Visitors are now confronted

351
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: with signs telling them that making prolonged eye contact with

352
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: the apes leaves the apes sad and withdrawn. Zoos staff

353
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: reckons staring can result in the creatures becoming less sociable.

354
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: Multi culturalists usually claim to be respecting people from different cultures,

355
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: while in fact treating them with a decided lack of respect.

356
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: That's the conclusion of James Taranto at the best of

357
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: the web dot com. So two different days, two different

358
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: UK newspapers, don't stare at Muslims and it's that that's

359
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: his homophobia, And don't stare at the apes and the

360
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: zoo because the apes will will become sad and withdrawn. Well,

361
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're crying out. How do you

362
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: know if they're crying out for attention. I I why, why, Yeah,

363
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: just wink at him. If you want to have eye

364
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: contact with the apes, just wink at him. Uh why

365
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: stop of the apes. Don't wink. Don't stare at the tigers,

366
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: don't stare at the lions. Don't stare at I mean,

367
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: you could go even for don't stare at your own pet.

368
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Might cause your own pet to become sad, and withdrawing

369
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: might give your own pet an inferiority complex. This is,

370
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: this is. These are the outgrowths of political correctness. I

371
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: know it sounds funny, and it is, but these people

372
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: are dead serious. You know, there is insanity all over

373
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: the place, and some of it is located in positions

374
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: of power and authority. All over Our society is the

375
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: Western democracies. Clyde and Boise, Idaho. Welcome to the E

376
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: I B Network. S. I'm good, Thank you you bet Listen.

377
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: I've been listening to you and I heard you talk

378
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: about all the people that knew about this nut case

379
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: in Virginia and nobody did anything. And I want to

380
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: know if you'd have been one of those people wh

381
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: knew about him exactly directly, what would have what would

382
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: you have done, what could have been done? You're talking

383
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: about the Virginia Tech situation. Well, this is this is

384
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: a this is a question actually for the people in

385
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: um in positions of authority there, and they did, uh

386
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: do certain things. I put him on antidupressants, and they

387
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: did send him. He went to a mental institution in

388
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: two thousand five. But uh, none of that apparently had

389
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: any impact or had any effect. Uh. But I know

390
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: what you're getting at. You're getting at, and it's a

391
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: valid point. There was there really any way to stop

392
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: these things? My my only point in mentioning this is

393
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: that you don't forget the context. Everybody said, we gotta

394
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: ban the guns. We've got to get the guns out

395
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: of it. I'm said, there was all kinds of information

396
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: long before the guy started pulling the trigger that something

397
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: wasn't right with him, and so banning the guns, Manny,

398
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: that's not the solution to this at all. It would

399
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: have had no impact. What's in fact, they already have

400
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: banned guns on that campus. But this guy was able

401
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: to go out and get one because the guy that

402
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: sold him the gun didn't know ainying about him. The

403
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: people at the school knew that something wasn't right about

404
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: this guy. Uh, and I don't. I don't know what

405
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: you do other than take him out of school and

406
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: institutionalize him. His parents felt he was suicidal. That were

407
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: all kinds of warning signs. What is what? What is

408
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: your ultimate point with us? Have I touched? I've heard

409
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: other talk shows to say that people were remissing not

410
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: doing anything. And I've been associated with the courts enough

411
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: to know that we can't arrest a guy because someday

412
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna kill somebody. And no, we're not talking about

413
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: a lot we can do about people like that. We're

414
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: not talking about nobody's talking about arresting him people. We're

415
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: doing this a context of either sequestering him or getting

416
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: him some serious help. And and the talk of paralysis

417
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: enters the fray enters the picture when we start introducing

418
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: the notion of political correctness, well, because we don't want

419
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: to be critical because it might hurt his see things

420
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: that might set him off. I understand that. Okay, I

421
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: just want to know if you had a solution that

422
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'd have been there and knew this guy,

423
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: There's not much I could do either, So I hear

424
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: all the criticism about why did everybody let this go on? Well,

425
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot in society that can be done.

426
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: M hmmm, LU and attorneys, and we got the Constitution

427
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: and we can't just jump in and do something in

428
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: voluntarily on these people. Uh. Well, you know what, you're

429
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: inadvertently making the case for what people here are saying,

430
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have people like the A. C. L

431
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: You'll come along. If the school had tried to do

432
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: anything just to quester the kid until he could have

433
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: been you know, properly analyzed and treated, uh and so forth,

434
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: he might have been able to get some A C.

435
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: L U lawyers. I don't know that's that speculation too.

436
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: But you're you're you're illustrating the problem at the same

437
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: time you're making a point. I mean, I have people

438
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: email me today, well, if we don't get rid of

439
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: the guns, we're just gonna have an okay corral every day.

440
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: We don't have an okay corral in this country, and

441
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: we got all kinds of guns out there, video games

442
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: and everything else. Thanks Clyde
