WEBVTT - Ban Political Correctness 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.800 As I predicted, as I warned you all yesterday, gun 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.920 control has become the central theme of the drive by 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:13.280 media after the tragedy here the massacre at Virginia TECHT 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.400 by the way, speaking of something that we were just 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.919 talking about, this this guy was sending out clear warning 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.119 signs that he was not right, and nobody would do 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:22.600 anything about it on the campus. I mean, they sent 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:24.920 him to counseling. They don't know how that went. Uh, 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:26.800 it might have been taking antity pressents. We don't know 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.800 what the effect of that was. He was he went 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.840 to some institution for while we don't know how that went. 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.120 We also have just learned that the guy's writings, which 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.519 we did know about, but what we just learned is 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.040 the guy's writings were so scary that there were people 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.080 that refused to go to his class. They refused to 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.360 actually go in the classroom when this guy was there. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:55.320 So they're clearly we're all kinds of of warning signs 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.320 about this that we're not heated in a in a 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.800 serious way. And it's said, it's very easy to start 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.960 running around and say, well, band guns, it's a GOP's faults, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.120 Bush's faults. Get rid of the n r A rather 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.280 than actually deal with what circumstances people had known for 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.480 years prior to this guy committing this random act yesterday. 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.440 And by the way, I think the Democrats heard me, 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.360 Dingy Harry's out there. So no, we can't start talking 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.880 about gun control now, yo, yeah, don't. Let's not rush 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.840 to gun control is the headline of the story on 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.800 Dingji here. There's no question that Democrats are drive by 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.360 media didn't but but the Democrats did. But I want 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.680 to explore something entirely different than banning guns, and that 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:40.640 would be a ban on political correctness. You people, and 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.600 you know who you are. I'm getting emails from you, 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.840 some of you have called, and you're you're lamenting the 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.960 soft structure of the American child these days, the American 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.840 young person. Why didn't they gang tackle this guy? Why 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.000 why why didn't they just overpower this guy once they 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.840 started firing. And I'll and they all everybody's got their theories. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.760 And one of the theories, one of those common theories 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.000 that I'm hearing in my email and on the phones here, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.320 is that we're gonna come on rush. I mean, from 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:12.320 kindergarten on they're taught conflict resolution, don't defend anybody, don't 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.079 make anybody mad. And and and well what is that 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:22.079 if not political correctness? And it may be a factor. Uh, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.240 I don't really know, but let me put it to 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.600 you in the form of a series of questions. What 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.360 might have had a better chance of preventing the carnage 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.600 on the campus of Virginia Tech. A law banning guns 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:39.200 which they had that was a gun free zone, or 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.120 a law banning political correctness. Now I know what some 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.919 of you saying, but rush, but rush, but rush. It 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.160 was two guns. And by gosh, that's true, folks. Thanks 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.720 for reminding me there were two guns the guy here. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.720 But let me remind you the killer was a senior. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.920 He was in that university for four years, and his 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:04.079 mental state was not a secret. And this university is 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.919 an institution of higher learning. They have lecturers, they have advisors, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.440 they have teachers, professors, deans, and all these people have degrees, 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.720 postgraduate degrees, doctorate degrees. Before he was in this university 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.800 for four years, he was in a half screwel. And 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.560 before he was in the half screwel, he was in 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:25.600 the middle school. Not even now we are just beginning 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.560 to learn some of the warning signs, the flares, these 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.200 were not it's not even this guy was sending up 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:36.080 flares and didn't anybody notice? Was everybody so concerned with 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.600 the trumped up global warming scare they didn't notice a 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:43.240 real threat? For example? And how about this guy's Korean, 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.840 he's Asian? How many people refused to do anything about 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.680 it or even complained about him because they would be 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.720 tagged as racists And not just because he's Korean, but 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.200 he's a minority. How many people in our school system, 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.920 from you know, k kindergarten on up through the senior 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.000 in high school and all that have been have been 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.320 have been by virtue political correctness. You you don't you 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.160 don't comment on people who are in a minority, no 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.120 matter what they're doing is you're gonna be called bigoted, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.680 You're gonna be called prejudiced. That worse, you might even 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.440 be called a racist. So I wonder how many of 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:19.000 the students at this campus live in daily fear of 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.440 global warming because of what is no doubt being taught 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:27.000 there and every other college campus. Uh, that's a you know, 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.760 a trumped up scare and they don't even notice a 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.599 real threat. Well, it's hard to say that because somebody, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.640 a lot of people noticed something wrong with this guy, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.120 whether that equal to threat to them? Well, we know 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:39.760 that it did with some because they refused to go 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.599 to the class where he submitted all these writings. You 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.880 do not have to be a talk show host. You 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.360 don't have to be a conservative or a Republican or 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.120 a moderate to ask this, how is it that we 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:59.600 have outlawed standards of behavior? Where is our where is 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:04.040 our sense of community and civic responsibility? Has all that 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.360 has held our society together? Been swept away by political correctness? 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.000 Well you might have some people come on rethew can't 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.920 think that about it. He was he was just doing 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.920 his own thing, and we didn't want to invade his faith. Uh, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.680 he's Asian. We we we didn't want any fibl right lawfuit. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.520 If we tingle him out for aber behavior, where would 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:28.000 it stop. So this, this is the paralysis caused by 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:34.880 political correctness. But the fault, my friends, lies in ourselves. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.800 Not in a gun shop, not in a gun not 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.039 in a not in a not in the hall of Congress, 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.800 House and Senate, not in Washington. Easy to say that 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.000 we need more gun laws, But what's not so easy 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.720 to say is that we need less political correctness and 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.600 we need a lot more return to some sensible values 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.800 that exists. Uh. You know, one of the tenants of 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.800 political correctness. You can't judge anybody. You can't judge him, 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.960 even when you know that there's something wrong with him. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.960 They can't offend them. You can't offend them. So what 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.560 do you do? You just don't go to class when 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.280 this guy shows up with his wacko writings. Uh, you 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.359 do your best to send him to an institution some drugs. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.720 But even that you know you can't offend, you don't, 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:24.159 you don't, you don't judge. Uh, it's you just leave 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.920 people alone. It's none of your business, this sort of thing. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:31.560 And uh, this leads to paralysis, which is part of 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.680 It's one of the many things that we had at 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.760 Virginia Tech earlier in the week. I just finished a 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.560 brilliant monalogue on the concept of banning political correctness for 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.040 the good of our kids and the good of our society. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.080 I want you to listen to this montage here of 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:52.440 NBC's Meredith Vieria wolf Blitzer. Have a psychotherapist Karen Stark, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.880 Chris Matthews of Hardball. I still wonder if he's going 0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.800 to resign and let a minority take his position at MSNBC. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.160 Remind me to bring that up because I think it 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.680 running a pole at Russia lymball dot com. Who at 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.240 MSNBC should resign to allow a minority to have a 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.760 primetime show? Uh? In fact, we are going to do that. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.560 I'll give you the choices here in in just sex. 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.560 So we got Matthews, We've got brand Williams. We've got 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.000 a forensic psychologist Dr. Helen Morrison h and Larry King, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.640 and they're weighing in on the very thing we've been 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.560 talking about. The profile of this guy, the shooter and 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.080 uh and and and the warning signs were all there. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.119 Listened to these frustrated questions from the drive by media 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.120 types and the psychotherapists. Is there a profile for someone 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.520 who would do something like this? It seems like the 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.080 classic profile. He's Alona, which fits the profile. What do 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.800 you do when you have a kid who looks like 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.080 the profile who might go on a rampage? The classic 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.400 profile of the loner who exhibited trouble? Isn't that a 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.000 trend that deserves now more resources? We see the typical 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.280 profile of a mass murderer. Is there anyway to spot 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.400 them before? Can we profile this type of person? Love? 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.120 How does this happen? They all end up asking the 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.080 same question, can we end up profile? Can you imagine 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.440 if if this guy was Islamic? Would we be asking 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.280 the question? Now? They want to profile Asian Americans. Now, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.880 they want to profile people that they think can be 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.160 identified as people are gonna go out and shoot thirty 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.560 two people in one morning, And I'm telling you that 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.960 can't be profile. I don't care what these people say. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.840 It doesn't happen enough. You can't profile somebody's gonna do 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.800 that just because they're a loner, just because they play 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.439 video game, just because they have a gun. All these 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.720 things may add up. The thing you profile is he 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.520 was a nutcase, and they're all asking is there something 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.679 we can profile? Yes, it was all over. The guy 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.960 was screaming what's the thing? The left says it was 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.440 a desperate cry for help? What Mr Snrdley, what's the question? 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.920 You're interrupting me here in the brilliant riff. Its better 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:55.400 be a good question. M hm. That's exactly what I'm saying. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.480 We can't profile them if they kill three thousand. We 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.440 cannot if we can't profile the Islamo fashion, No, no, no, 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.520 we can't. We can't even profile them in those uh 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.560 the Transportation Safety authorities they were you go through the 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.839 metal detectors. There can't profile them in there. No, your 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.360 little grandmother might get wanted, your six year old might 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.360 get wanted. You might have to give up your your 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.360 shaving lotion or shaving creamer. What we can't know, We can't. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.880 The same people who agree that we shouldn't be profiling 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.360 Islamo fash just not want to profile people like this. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.680 And there's there was a profile. Nobody paid any attention 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.520 to it in a serious fashion. Nobody paid it to 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.360 I mean, they tried to give him drugs, and they 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.040 sent him to the funny farm and all, but nobody 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.480 didn't think about getting him off campus. Uh See, that's 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.839 why I said, it's so easy to start talking about guns. 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.040 These guys don't know how they're undercutting your own argument. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.320 What what are they saying? Are they asking? Isn't there 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:59.960 a way to profile a madman with a gun? Uh? 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.839 These people are so out of it they don't even 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.240 realize how they set themselves up for people like me. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.360 Where where are these same questions after nine eleven? In fact, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.920 we've gone just the opposite. They can't profile them at all. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.040 David and Columbia, Mississippi. Hello, sir, welcome to the Rush 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.560 Limball program, Ali Rush, thanks for taking my call. Greetings 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.040 from Trina Ravage, South Mississippi. Right, Yes, you made a 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.480 point about gun control's impotence, another law not being relevant 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.960 and m Columbine, what three gun laws were violated? Another 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.280 one wouldn't have mattered. You know, this guy had chained 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:34.880 and lucks. You could have had a five gallon gas 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.240 tank of gasoline and would have done a lot of damage. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.720 Of course I made that point. Yes, a fertilizer and 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.640 so forth, blew up the mirror building. And but you 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.680 can get this guy filed the serial numbers off the 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.200 gun too. I mean it clearly indicates a criminal intent. Right. Well, 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.880 you know you've made the point about folks not being prepared. Um, 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.520 you know before the nine eleven hijackings, people weren't ready 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.080 for that. After nine eleven, they wouldn't have put up 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.480 if people trying to take over the airplane. Uh, same 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.800 thing about Virginia take today. Somebody would be able to 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.480 do something like that. We did have Columbine, though we 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.880 did have precedent about schools being attacked. Um, your point 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.800 about political craignis is only really semi tongue in cheek. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.680 For instance, you know one of the guys at the 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.600 one of the victims, was an eagle scout and he 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.240 was trained to be to keep his head. He was 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.120 shot in the leg and ruptured his female artery and 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:26.880 if he hadn't kept his head, he would have bled 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:28.680 to death. But he was able to staunish the bleeding 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.160 and tie his leg up with electrical cord while shot. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.360 I'm gonna have to take a break here. I'm gonna 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.200 hold you through the break. I want you to get 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.160 to what you called about, because I thought I could 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.440 squeeze you in a minute and a half. Back to 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.160 David and Columbia, Mississippi. All right? And where were you 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:47.280 headed with this the eagle scout? And then my point 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.920 is that people American citizens can be trained to react 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.280 under pressure or in emergencies. Um, this guy was trained 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.120 just as in the voluntary organization. It doesn't require a 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.680 lot of extra work. If you would have you know, 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.720 if if they would just have a portion of emergency 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.840 preparedness in Wait, wait a minute, Wait a minute, are 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:11.040 you talking You're not talking about emergency service training like paramedics. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.239 You're you're you're talking about in this case, the students 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.960 who are watching this guy shoot the gun learn what 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.760 to do to stop him. Yeah, keep their heads. Uh. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.000 I mean obviously you can't train them to be commandos, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.280 but you can train people to keep their heads and 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.120 think logically, what if somebody had just passed a big 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.400 heavy But you know, we got a we got a 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.920 we we got generation after generation of political correctness that 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.840 we would have to somehow erase from people's minds to 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.840 do this. Um I I look, I understand what you're saying. 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.520 And this seems to be a budding theme out there 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.280 that we need to do something here to to get 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.719 people to toughen up in these circumstances, average citizens who 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:53.000 are involved in whatever these events happen to be, rather 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.560 than to sit around way to or run away. Uh. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.720 I want to take you back to Columbine. Remember after 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:07.440 the Columbine massacre. Uh, there was the Clinton administration mounted 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:12.120 this huge push for new gun control and it was crushed. 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.760 And do you remember I doubt that many of you 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.200 will remember this. Do you remember what the given reason 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.640 was that the conventional wisdom on why the two Columbine 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.840 shooters did what they did. I will tell you we 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:35.520 were told that they were teased. Those two boys were 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.319 teased and laughed at and made fun of by their classmates. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.360 And from now on we should be careful of that 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.400 sort of behavior, because if we start teasing people and 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.360 making fun of them and making them outcasts, then they 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.040 might act on some of the movies they see, or 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.080 the video games they play, or the television shows that 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.960 they watch, and so forth. So let's let's extrapolate that 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:03.080 and move forward here to Virginia Tech. Uh, how would 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.520 it manifest itself? Well, don't call him, don't don't call 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.640 this choga a newt, a nut, don't don't you know, 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.280 don't don't don't point him out to others. Don't don't say, oh, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:16.840 this guy's a wacko. Don't just just he might explode. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.240 He might, this guy might blow up. Just let's just 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.920 no go to class when he's there. Let's just accept 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.640 the problem is he did explode, and we don't know 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.480 whether he was teased or not. But I mean this 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:32.160 is this is an outgrowth of political correctness. Uh, don't 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.200 tease him. And of course, what is the real meaning 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.440 of this, the real meaning when you when you came 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.000 up with this conventional wisdom, those boys were being teased. 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.280 They were they were made to feel like outcast. In 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.000 the process of doing that, you you in a way, 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.440 you justify their actions. Well, yeah, what do you expect 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.920 him to do? They put on those long black coats, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.240 that grabbed their machine guns, they went on this shooting. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:54.920 What do you expect them to do? They spent their 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.720 whole youth being laughed at and made fun of. Girls 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.680 wouldn't go out with him on dates. They made fun 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.000 of their acne and pimples and zips and so forth. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.800 And that's that. That is how this political correctness is 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.840 justified because you then come out and you justify what 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.360 they did because of the actions and behaviors of others, 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.200 regardless whether it's mass murder or is the commission of 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.680 a bank robbery or something like that. And that's where 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.560 political correctness has taken us. And of course the umbrella 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.560 under all this, don't offend anybody, don't insult them, and 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.520 don't don't don't make the mad. Uh they might go 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.880 nuts when they're gonna go nuts anyway at some point. Uh. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.560 And it's not because of being laughed at or made 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.200 fun of. They've got something wrong with them, which was 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:43.440 clearly evident. Uh in the in this guy's case, authors 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.360 what checked the timing on this? This um? This hit 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.560 last night about nine o'clock. Authors of a new comprehensive 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.960 analysis of antidepressants for children and teenagers say the benefits 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.720 of treatment trump the small risk of increasing some patient's 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.600 chances of having suice titled Thoughts and Behaviors. The risk 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.480 they found is lower than the one the Food and 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.080 Drug Administration identified in two thousand four, the year the 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.440 agency warned the public about the drugs risk in children. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.480 So you can sit there and you can say, uh 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.360 that that well, yeah, yeah, it might get suicidal. But 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.080 that's a small risk compared to what might happen. I 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.640 only bringing this up because it's we were told this 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.720 guy was prescribed at any precedents. I don't if he 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.840 took them or not. This is David from parts on 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.560 on in Pennsylvania. Welcome to the E I B Network. Sir, 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.160 Hello Rush, this is a privilege. Thank you sir, I 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.000 think you hit the nail on the head again with 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:47.880 implying that political correctness is causing paralysis to action. I teach, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:53.280 and we've noticed recently that students do not participate in class. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.480 And this is a bunch of colleges, and we actually 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.320 think that perhaps political correctness has gotten them in a 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.440 situation at any time they open their mouths, they're afraid 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.000 they're going to get dumped on or they're gonna offend somebody. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.680 Are they gonna make somebody mad? And that's going to 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.159 lead to them getting dumped on. That's right, And I 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.600 think it is a very good idea that you hit 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.800 that nail on the head. I think, thank you very much. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.359 I appreciate that we in case you missed this about 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.480 an hour and a half ago, I positive theory. And 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.400 rather than band guns, we need to ban political correctness. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.280 We just need to get rid of it. It leads 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.679 to paralysis, It leads to fear, and it leads to 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.000 people not being who they are. You want to give 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.720 me a couple of examples of it, and this this, 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:44.080 these are true stories. London Sunday Times headline don't stare 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:48.639 at Muslims says advice to schools. Pupils and teachers have 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.199 been told by an official body not to stare at 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.119 Muslims for fear of causing offense. The document, intended to 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.840 educate against religious intolerance and sectarian is um, urges to 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.320 cheers to make this quote and make pupils aware of 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.400 the various forms of his Lamophobia, i e. Stairs verbal abuse, 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:11.320 physical abuse. Osama, said, a spokesman for the Muslim Association 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.359 of Britain, accused officials are going too far. Look, there 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.119 are more, far more serious elements of his lamophobia. People 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.360 people look at all sorts of things that that can 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:20.960 just be a glance, a glance at the stare at 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.800 two different things. Glances happen naturally with all sorts of 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.480 things catch your eye, whereas a stare is probably gawking 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.159 at something. Personally, I've not encountered much of a problem 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.320 with people staring. I don't know how you would legislate 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.800 for that. That's not going to stop them. I mean, 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:40.640 good for him for speaking out, but don't stay there there. 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.520 They're they're they're they're not this, They're gonna be stopped. 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.280 I'm just telling you that the pupils and teachers they 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.720 will continue to be told don't stare at Muslims, that 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:55.199 might incite them. Then try this from this was Tuesday, 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.959 same paper, a different paper. This is the UK Telegraph. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:05.359 Don't stare at the apes zoo tells visitors. Most people 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.159 visit the zoos to see the animals, but visitors to 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.920 Antwerp Zoo in Belgium are being told not to look 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:15.240 at the apes. Now here's why. Visitors are now confronted 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.639 with signs telling them that making prolonged eye contact with 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:24.919 the apes leaves the apes sad and withdrawn. Zoos staff 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:29.240 reckons staring can result in the creatures becoming less sociable. 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.600 Multi culturalists usually claim to be respecting people from different cultures, 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.400 while in fact treating them with a decided lack of respect. 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.159 That's the conclusion of James Taranto at the best of 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.840 the web dot com. So two different days, two different 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.120 UK newspapers, don't stare at Muslims and it's that that's 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.560 his homophobia, And don't stare at the apes and the 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:54.840 zoo because the apes will will become sad and withdrawn. Well, 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.280 I don't know if they're crying out. How do you 0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:01.680 know if they're crying out for attention. I I why, why, Yeah, 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.360 just wink at him. If you want to have eye 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.920 contact with the apes, just wink at him. Uh why 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.720 stop of the apes. Don't wink. Don't stare at the tigers, 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.120 don't stare at the lions. Don't stare at I mean, 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.920 you could go even for don't stare at your own pet. 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.240 Might cause your own pet to become sad, and withdrawing 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.879 might give your own pet an inferiority complex. This is, 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.359 this is. These are the outgrowths of political correctness. I 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.600 know it sounds funny, and it is, but these people 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:38.080 are dead serious. You know, there is insanity all over 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.160 the place, and some of it is located in positions 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.840 of power and authority. All over Our society is the 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:49.600 Western democracies. Clyde and Boise, Idaho. Welcome to the E 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:54.200 I B Network. S. I'm good, Thank you you bet Listen. 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:55.840 I've been listening to you and I heard you talk 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.200 about all the people that knew about this nut case 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.919 in Virginia and nobody did anything. And I want to 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:02.439 know if you'd have been one of those people wh 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.440 knew about him exactly directly, what would have what would 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.480 you have done, what could have been done? You're talking 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.760 about the Virginia Tech situation. Well, this is this is 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.240 a this is a question actually for the people in 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.600 um in positions of authority there, and they did, uh 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.159 do certain things. I put him on antidupressants, and they 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.159 did send him. He went to a mental institution in 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:29.560 two thousand five. But uh, none of that apparently had 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.000 any impact or had any effect. Uh. But I know 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.000 what you're getting at. You're getting at, and it's a 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.600 valid point. There was there really any way to stop 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.720 these things? My my only point in mentioning this is 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.400 that you don't forget the context. Everybody said, we gotta 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:44.959 ban the guns. We've got to get the guns out 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.360 of it. I'm said, there was all kinds of information 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.920 long before the guy started pulling the trigger that something 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.880 wasn't right with him, and so banning the guns, Manny, 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.840 that's not the solution to this at all. It would 0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.879 have had no impact. What's in fact, they already have 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.720 banned guns on that campus. But this guy was able 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:04.320
