RUSH: Larry in Charlotte, North Carolina. Great to have you here. How are you doing, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good, Rush. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well. Glad you called.<\/p>\n

CALLER: First I want to thank you for that little fact check on Algore<\/a>. That was on my list of things to do. I knew there had to be something behind that one.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean his appearance on TV or his stuff about the fish swimming in the streets of Honolulu and Miami.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The fish swimming in the streets.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: It\u2019s a crock, it\u2019s an absolute crock. But, see, people believe it. I will read about it on my tech blogs, I will read it. I have read it. And they\u2019re genuinely scared and they say, “See.” And they don\u2019t understand why deniers like me don\u2019t see the truth, when the fish are swimming in the streets in Miami.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yep. It\u2019s insane what they do. Second of all, Rush, I\u2019m disappointed that you think that what we\u2019re seeing in the mainstream media about the snowflakes and the generational problem is widespread. You\u2019re the one that\u2019s always saying, “Don\u2019t believe what they\u2019re showing you. They\u2019re showing you what they want you to see.” I have to remind my wife of that all the time when we\u2019re watching that stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have issued caveats all day long \u2019cause I realized I might have misspoken when I first made this point in the first hour. What I said was that if all you do is watch the media you\u2019ll probably be convinced that we don\u2019t have a significant portion of young people who would answer the call to defend the country \u2019cause they don\u2019t believe the country needs to be defended. But I amended that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s exactly what I was referring to, because before that you said, “Boy, I hope that this isn\u2019t what it\u2019s like out there and that this is a typical media thing,” and you were doubting yourself.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was doubting myself? I never doubt myself. What do you mean I was doubting myself?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you were doubting that it was just the mainstream media.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s doubting them. That\u2019s not doubting me. What I have since said, to wrap this up, is that my concern is that we don\u2019t have the toughness, \u2019cause we could make that. My concern is that we do not have and would not have a singular case of rallying around America if we were similarly attacked today because we have too many people, young people, and CEOs, for the hell of it, who have been convinced that we\u2019re the problem in the world, that we deserve a comeuppance here and there. I don\u2019t know how widespread, it concerns me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I think it\u2019s just a lot of them trying to brainwash all of us, the media trying to brainwash. I\u2019m from western PA and I now reside in Charlotte, but people I know in western PA, they think the way I do, which is conservative.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The people in the area that I\u2019m in in Charlotte, think conservative. I\u2019ve lived in New Jersey for a while. My wife is from there —<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Look, there is actual empirical evidence to back up what you say and that is we still don\u2019t need a draft because there are still plenty of people volunteering. We have an all-volunteer force and we don\u2019t have a shortage. So I don\u2019t doubt that we have a hard-core greatness among the young of America today, including the Millennial generation. But it\u2019s not like it was in World War II, not back in the forties. Nothing ever is; I understand that.<\/p>\n

I guess, you know, it\u2019s just what\u2019s different today, to a degree anyway, from when I was growing up is there now seems to be a coordinated, from academia to the media to pop culture, a coordinated effort to corrupt as many minds as possible on the concept of the greatness and decency of America. It is an actual concerted effort. It\u2019s taking place in movies and books and television shows and on college campus.<\/p>\n

I know some of you, “Always has, Rush. When I went –” I know it has. Maybe the percentages are no different than they\u2019ve always been. Maybe it\u2019s just with the advent of the internet you can access more people who think this than you were able to in the past. But do not doubt one thing out there, Larry, and that is this: I have not lost faith in the country. This last election demonstrates it would be folly to lose faith in the country. Don\u2019t count me among those who have. I would never say so even if I thought so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
