RUSH: Something happened on Tuesday night, and it escaped me. I cannot tell you, folks, you do not know how irritated with myself I get when something happens and I am late to hearing about it because all I do is try to stay informed. And then I am doubly ticked off to find out I had a small example of it on yesterday\u2019s sound bite roster and didn\u2019t even know it because of the vagaries of the way it all happens. And so now I\u2019m faced with I want to share this with you, but the odds are you\u2019ve already heard it or seen or what have you.<\/p>\n

But what you haven\u2019t heard is my commentary about it. Because this is so right on. This guy says in different words exactly what I have been saying. Every time I have lamented that the Drive-By Media tries to make everything they look at and report on to be the norm, the majority, they aren\u2019t. They\u2019re nowhere near the majority but their trick is to make it look like everybody agrees with whatever it is they think on whatever it is they\u2019re reporting, such as the Indiana religious restoration law, restoration freedom law.<\/p>\n

\"\"They tried to make it look like everybody thought Indiana was a bunch of twerps, that the governor was a hick and a hayseed and that nobody was in favor of this, when in truth it\u2019s the media that\u2019s the minority. I have constantly found and sought different ways to make the point that the majority — in guns, you know, how many times have we all pointed out that every gun control effort is only gonna do one thing: take guns out of the hands of people who do not use them to commit crimes.<\/p>\n

All it\u2019s gonna do is take guns out of the hands of people who are never gonna shoot up a school. It isn\u2019t gonna stop any of this. Remember, I\u2019ve told you this story. I was at an elite dinner party back in the days that I lived in Manhattan. And I\u2019ll tell you who with. This guy was a cabinet official in the Nixon administration. I\u2019ve never announced this guy\u2019s name, and I\u2019m not going to now, but that\u2019s as close as I\u2019ll get.<\/p>\n

And he was the typical haughty — h-a-u-g-h-t-y — haughty, effete, elite Manhattanite leftist, even though he was in the Nixon cabinet. And they just have this air they\u2019re smarter than everybody. They look down their nose at everybody. And at one of these dinner parties on Fifth Avenue right across the street is Central Park.<\/p>\n

And you could make book on it, whenever one of these dinner parties took place, the subject of guns would come up, and this guy brought it up, and he made it sound like it was the most insane, stupid point in the world to not want to get rid of guns.<\/p>\n

In other words, the most sane, sensible opinion anybody could have would be we\u2019ve got to get rid of guns and we\u2019ve got to do something about the Second Amendment. I tell this guy, “You know what? You know what, Mr. Nixon cabinet member? I might support you if you can guarantee me something, that after I and everybody else in this room give you their guns, that you\u2019re next gonna cross the street, go into Central Park and you\u2019re gonna find every criminal in there with a gun and you\u2019re gonna get his, too.”<\/p>\n

You\u2019re never gonna try get guns out of the hands of criminals because that\u2019s not what you\u2019re after. You\u2019re after control. You\u2019re not after gun control. You\u2019re after control of human beings. You don\u2019t want people to be able to defend themselves. You will not go and try to take guns away from the people who do use them to commit crimes. Anyway, I\u2019ve told you all this.<\/p>\n

So on Tuesday night, in Greensboro, North Carolina, there was a city council meeting and a citizen showed up fit to be tied. His name is Mark Robinson. And I only saw this last night. It turns out I had 35 seconds of this on yesterday\u2019s audio sound bite roster. I\u2019m not gonna go into a deep, long discussion of why I missed it because that would mean I would have to indict the overpaid, overworked, overrated staff.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m not gonna blame them. It was sound bite number 19 and I didn\u2019t get that far. I don\u2019t think I got beyond sound bite number 3, and I never had time to look at the whole roster \u2019cause it doesn\u2019t come in anyway. My problem to work out. So I saw this last night, and I send it off to the audio production team. And they said, “Oh, it was in the sound bites.”<\/p>\n

“It was?” Dammit. I can\u2019t tell you how this embarrasses me, to be three days late to this. So I\u2019m still gonna play it for you because it\u2019s fascinating, it\u2019s delicious, it\u2019s right on the money, it is home run, grand-slam home run. And if you have heard it or seen it, the video has gone viral, Snerdley tells me. Let\u2019s just start. This is Mark Robinson. He\u2019s just a citizen. He\u2019s a resident, Greensboro, North Carolina. He showed up because they\u2019re talking about gun control and taking guns away and he\u2019s having none of it.<\/p>\n
