And if somebody gets through that shield and succeeds in upsetting you, then they have to go. We\u2019ve got to do something about them. We can\u2019t handle symbols that offend us. We can\u2019t handle speech that bothers us. We can\u2019t handle actions. We can\u2019t handle just the normal day-to-day aspects and characteristics of life. They have been shielded from them. I\u2019m not talking about the leaders of this, the Black Lives Matter. These are hardcore leftist community organizers out of the Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama school, and they have manipulated these kids.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve recognized what they\u2019ve got, and they\u2019re manipulating them perfectly. They have turned them into their own little army, and once they got the football team on board… Do you realize how this changes college football going forward? Do you realize the pressure that\u2019s going to be brought to bear on every college football program to now get involved in politics? And if they don\u2019t, can you imagine the peer pressure that\u2019s gonna be brought down on these athletes on college football teams who decide they don\u2019t want to get involved in things like this?<\/p>\n
This is going to change forever if people don\u2019t get a handle on this. But right now, the adults are totally caving the politically correct crowd, including manipulative adults and shielded-from-reality students are running the show. The inmates are running the asylum. You know, I\u2019m fascinated by cultural shifts, cultural evolution, \u2019cause I care about the future of the country. I\u2019m very much concerned about the kind of people we\u2019re raising, educating, how we\u2019re raising them, how we\u2019re educating them.<\/p>\n
What kind of country are we going to have when these little brats end up becoming adults and someday become the targets of the kind of treatment they are handing out? These people are no more prepared for the realities of life anywhere in the world… In fact, they may be less prepared for it than people who are not going to college. I think college is regressing. It\u2019s causing… It\u2019s stunting the growth. I think it is giving these kids a false sense of their power and their security. I think it\u2019s creating a convoluted and distorted version of what\u2019s possible and what isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RushLiberalismVSAmericanism585.jpg\")
And I think it\u2019s the exact opposite of preparing them for lives as adults, and I fear for what is going to happen when this country\u2019s in the hands of people like this. Not just the manipulators, but the students as well. When you read, you\u2019ll hear some of the comments from some of these students. What happened in Ferguson traumatized \u2019em. They were literally traumatized. But they don\u2019t know the truth of what happened in Ferguson. They still, like I said yesterday, most of them believe that the Gentle Giant was a gentle giant and that he was trying to surrender.<\/p>\n
They still don\u2019t know the truth.<\/p>\n
Do you know that the University of Missouri Law School class demanded that their exams be postponed because of the trauma they were dealing with having watched what went down in Ferguson? And it was so close, they didn\u2019t feel protected. They didn\u2019t feel shielded. They feared the same thing could happen to them. They feared the cops could just start roaming the streets of Columbia, Missouri, and start shooting anybody they wanted. And they were so traumatized, they asked to be excused from taking the test. And what did the university do?<\/p>\n
They bent over, grabbed the ankles, said, “Fine and dandy.” They\u2019re coddling them. It\u2019s the exact opposite of the way anyone would think is a responsible way to educate kids, to raise kids, what have you. At Yale University we\u2019ve got even more evidence of the student body there being traumatized by everyday occurrences and their inability to deal with it. Jason Whitlock, of all people<\/a>, has characterized it thus. “Young people — of all colors and economic levels — are not nurtured the way they used to be.<\/p>\n “They\u2019re far more sensitive and vulnerable than previous generations. What rolled off our shoulders crushes them. They see themselves as unwilling to take [BS]. We see them as soft and unprepared for a world that has never once been fair or concerned with individual feelings.” I don\u2019t subscribe to all of that, but I think it\u2019s a fairly accurate characterization of many of the students, the joiners in these protests. Not the leaders. The leaders are a whole different ball of wax, just like it always is throughout liberalism.<\/p>\n The liberal leaders are a far different breed of cat than the rank-and-file followers are, and I\u2019m talking about the followers here, the average, ordinary student getting caught up in all this. But it\u2019s not getting caught up. I think it\u2019s legitimate. I think they\u2019re genuinely afraid. Somebody goes driving down the street with a Confederate flag flying from the car, and they get scared to death. They feel personally threatened. They demand something be done about it. And the school didn\u2019t do anything about it, so the university president had to be fired.<\/p>\n They got scared with somebody driving around town with a Confederate flag. Well, no, scared or oppor… The leaders… This is any point: The leaders see an opportunity in this. I think there\u2019s genuine fright over this. That\u2019s my whole point. I think in some of these young people, there is a total inability to deal with anything that is outside their comfort level. What\u2019s most fascinating is the way the adults are dealing with it. By adults, I mean, the faculty and the administration.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Where do you think Obama comes down on this situation at Mizzou? Oh, you\u2019re right. He absolutely loves it. Obama is reliving his own childhood going through this. The Regime “is praising protesters who successfully forced University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe to announce his resignation<\/a>. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest praised the group of protesters for rallying together and demanding change, pointing out that Obama?\u2019s first presidential campaign was embodied by the same spirit.” It reminds me during the Arab Spring, when Egypt was trying to get rid of Mubarak…<\/p>\n “All right, well, Mustapha, let me ask you. What do you think about Obama\u2019s proposal that the young people get jobs and workable wages and…?”<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t know what Obama believes.”<\/p>\n My point is, the Regime tried to take credit for what happened in Egypt and they deserved it. It\u2019s a mess. And the Regime clearly wants to be seen on the side of the malcontent children, because it\u2019s all about overthrowing the current power structure wherever it is as part of the transformation of the United States into a nation not at all like it was founded. “Earnest praised the group of protesters for rallying together and demanding change, pointing out that Obama?\u2019s first presidential campaign was embodied by the same spirit.”<\/p>\n There is some truth to that, though not in the way Earnest means it. But certainly a subtext in the Obama campaign was that he was owed the presidency because of his skin color. He played on that. He got a lot of people voting for him simply for that reason, because of what they hoped it would accomplish, and that would be the end of racism. How many people voted for Obama thinking that\u2019s what their vote meant and how many of them are today regretting it, shocked, dismayed, sad that racial relations have worsened and are epitomized by what\u2019s going on at Mizzou? What happened in Ferguson, Missouri.<\/p>\n Obama hasn\u2019t made any of it better. But he has not failed. This kind of thing is exactly what Obama dreamed of and inspired.<\/p>\n Naturally, he associates with it.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: As usually happens during discussions of the youth of America on this program, and particularly on college campuses, I will report something factual and be deluged with e-mails from people who do not believe me, accuse me of making it up. So I then am forced to go get evidence, which I\u2019m happy to do. I have some here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. Just one story, but this is one of many. They\u2019re all over the place. The University of Missouri police — this is the university police force, not the Columbia, Missouri, police force. The University of Missouri police asked students to report “hurtful speech.”<\/a><\/p>\n We have a bunch of children, folks. We have a bunch of four- and five-year-olds who see the bogeyman outside the back door. And everybody\u2019s the bogeyman, everyone. It doesn\u2019t matter. Everything outside the comfort level, and it\u2019s very narrow, the comfort level is very narrow. You\u2019d better be 100 percent politically correct. You cannot be in any way, shape, manner, or form conservative. You can\u2019t be self-reliant. You can\u2019t be self-confident. All of that offends. All of that scares.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not kidding. If you\u2019re confident running around campus, sure of yourself, having a good time, you pose a threat because nobody\u2019s supposed to be that sure of themselves. Nobody\u2019s supposed to be that confident, because there are too many outside forces that are working to undermine people. And you\u2019re not supposed to be able to just have that stuff roll off your back. And anybody who can is a suspect, because it\u2019s not natural. You are to be vulnerable. You are to be exposed. You are to be very wary of those things that can hurt you. If anybody says anything outside the doctrine of climate change, they\u2019re gonna be reported. If anybody makes any kind of a stereotypical joke, they are now going to be reported to the campus cops.<\/p>\n This is another example of the adults caving. They\u2019re trying to buy peace. This is not the way to get it. This is not the way you deal with bullies. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re children bullies, coward bullies, or what have you. This is not the way you deal with them. You stand up to them. You push back against them. But nobody\u2019s willing to do that. Nobody\u2019s willing to do that to the Democrat Party bullies; nobody\u2019s willing to do that to the White House bullies; nobody\u2019s willing to do it to student bullies; nobody\u2019s willing to do it to race hustler bullies. So we end up with a bunch of stories that are fabrications and out-and-out lies such as “hands up, don\u2019t shoot.”<\/p>\n We have students 120 miles down the road literally scared to death and feeling unsafe because there was not an appropriate response from the university administration after Ferguson happened. Never mind that the students don\u2019t know the truth of what happened in Ferguson, and if they\u2019re told it, that makes them feel unsafe. That frightens them. That worries them. They don\u2019t want to hear anything other than what they, quote, unquote, know to be true. Be it climate change; be it fossil fuels; be it blood for oil; be it you name it, “hands up, don\u2019t shoot.”<\/p>\n So the University of Missouri police department is suggesting that students provide a detailed description of the offender, the location of the offender, or the license plate number of the offender\u2019s car, and if the car is offensive. And they\u2019re being urged to even take pictures of the people saying or doing things that offend them, that make them feel unsafe. Take pictures of people engaging in hurtful speech. You know what hurtful speech is? It\u2019s anything our little children don\u2019t understand. It\u2019s anything our little children don\u2019t agree with. It\u2019s anything our little children don\u2019t want to have to deal with. It\u2019s all hurtful and they demand to be protected from it.<\/p>\n The only way to be protected from it is to find the people engaging in hurtful speech using the First Amendment and somehow penalize them, kick them out of school, kick them out of town, put them in jail, whatever it takes to protect our precious treasure of young college children. Yes, because they must not be upset. They must not at all ever encounter anything that makes them the slightest bit uncomfortable, otherwise they may have to postpone taking tests because they will not be in proper mental attitude of success to take one. It is a terrible, terrible downward cycle that we have put our children in, all because of the mean-spirited, racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic American culture.<\/p>\n The Confederate flag example is real. This hunger strike student says that he was walking along campus one day and heard somebody shouting the N-word. He doesn\u2019t know who, doesn\u2019t know where it came from, so he tried to get the university president, Tim Wolfe, whatever his name is, do something about it, and the university president\u2019s office didn\u2019t respond to the guy, and that\u2019s what started this. Did you know that? Did you know that that\u2019s what started this? Theoretically that\u2019s what started this. What started this is political correctness, the multicultural curriculum and liberal community organizers decades ago started this, but the specific event was started by this hunger strike kid walking along campus.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been on campus for seven years. Do you know that? Seven years! How does one stay on campus seven years if you can\u2019t afford it? How does one stay on campus seven years if you\u2019re passing your classes? How does one stay on campus that\u2019s so rotten and horrible and racist and bigoted? Why would you stay there for seven years?<\/p>\n Anyway, apparently he\u2019s walking down the street minding his own business, being a good liberal — highly attuned to anything that might offend or upset everybody — and from somewhere over there across the street, building, something he hears the N-word, and he can barely go on. In his quaking fear he calls the university office, the office of the president, and reports the incident. He can\u2019t identify anybody. He just says it happened, and therefore the climate is unsafe. Therefore it\u2019s not safe, the environment.<\/p>\n Look, that\u2019s a whole ‘nother thing, and you have no idea what that\u2019s gonna mean. I mean, weeks or months from now, next season, you wait \u2019til these people learn that they can get their universities to do anything if they can co-opt the football team into joining whatever they\u2019re protesting. And imagine the peer pressure on African-American football players. “You better join our protest or else! You better join us in our protest. You better.<\/p>\n “You better sign this pledge that you not play, not practice. You better sign the boycott pledge.” Can you imagine this happening Ohio State? Can you imagine this happening at Clemson? Can you imagine it anywhere? Mizzou has a record nobody cares about. If Mizzou never plays another game, nobody\u2019d miss it. You take it to a program that\u2019s got a national championship possibility — and it\u2019s going to happen — and you\u2019re going to have… I\u2019ve warned you for decades, folks, about how the politicizing of sports is taking place. Nothing is safe from it any longer.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: There is a professor. She\u2019s being misidentified as a journalism professor. That is not who this woman is. This woman is a media… She\u2019s an assistant professor of mass media, which is not the journalism school. Mass communications is the degree that people who couldn\u2019t get into the journalism school get. Athletes, for example, get this degree: Mass communications. Now, this woman is named Melissa Glick, or is it Elisa Click? You know, I\u2019m seeing it both ways in different stories, Glick or Click.<\/p>\n How in the world can all of this hell happen when Democrats, who love and feel and touch and have sensitivity and compassion and tolerance, run it? How can this hellhole of a university exist as it does when the whole show is run by Democrats? Anyway, according to the University of Missouri website Melissa Click specializes in… This is the woman; she\u2019s teaching your students at the University of Missouri. This is what you\u2019re paying 50 grand a year for. She “specializes in ‘audience studies, theories of gender, and sexuality and media literacy. Her research interests center on popular culture texts and audiences, particularly texts and audiences disdained in mainstream culture.'”<\/p>\n You would think that she would be writing about conservatives, but no. She means African-Americans and women. Those are the minorities often “disdained.” In her corrupted, perverted world of the mainstream media, this woman actually believed the mainstream media\u2019s unfair to minorities, unfair to women, and that\u2019s why she\u2019s not permitting them in the midst of the protests. Her work in this area is guided by audience studies, theories of gender and sexuality, and media literacy.<\/p>\n COSTELLO: Rush Limbaugh said colleges have become an endless parade of victims. Your response?<\/p>\n GLICK: I would say that it\u2019s actually difficult to exaggerate the degree to which our campus is in crisis, has been in crisis for some time. Some of our activists are truly talking about being called the N-word on a daily basis. There have been trucks with Confederate flags sighted by the campsite. Students continue to feel threatened and unsafe.<\/p>\n RUSH: You still think I\u2019m making this up? The campus… Have you seen this? The students attending this university are pitching tents and living in tents because it\u2019s unsafe elsewhere. They\u2019re living amongst themselves where it is safe. Yeah, so there are trucks with Confederate flag driving around, and people… You don\u2019t see them. You just hear the N-word. It\u2019s really a campus in crisis. Here\u2019s a media professor at Mizzou trying to incite the mob against the media. Melissa Click.<\/a> Here you go.<\/p>\n CLICK: No. You need to get out. You need to get out.<\/p>\n REPORTER: No, I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n CLICK: You need to get out.<\/p>\n REPORTER: I actually don\u2019t.<\/p>\n CLICK: All right. Hey, someone help me get this reporter outta here.<\/p>\n RUSH: “Help me. Help me. Who wants to get this reporter out? Help me. You can\u2019t be here.” He\u2019s a journalist. He\u2019s on your side, you dope! He\u2019s there to help spread your propaganda. They do not even recognize their friends, \u2019cause that\u2019s what it is. You know, if I had kids — and I don\u2019t. I readily admit it, not that I know of. I wouldn\u2019t send \u2019em to college these days. They\u2019d learn on the Internet or at my knee. I wouldn\u2019t pay for this crap. I wouldn\u2019t pay anywhere near it.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Okay. Here\u2019s where I was confused. It\u2019s worse than I thought. There are two of these women, okay? Melissa Click and Elisa Glick. The mass media lady (impression), “Get outta here! You can\u2019t be in here! You journalists, get out of here!” That\u2019s Melissa Click. The gender studies professor, that\u2019s Elisa Glick. It\u2019s a pure coincidence. Who would have thought? Two of \u2019em! Oh, my God.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: You know, I was a student back in the sixties when stuff like this happening now was happening then, too. I wanted no more part of it then than I do now. And honestly, folks, the reason why this stuff is so important to me, is this is totally destructive. We now have… Those students that were protesting in the sixties, those malcontents — these you name it, whatever motive — they\u2019re running the country now. If you wonder why things where in such a mess, the sixties protesters and their heirs are running things<\/a>.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/nicrobertsonEgypt585PIX.jpg\")
<\/a>I should say, the Muslim Brotherhood was trying to get rid of Hosni Mubarak, and the youth were protesting in Egypt in Tahrir Square, \u2019cause Egypt had fallen on hard economic times much like the United States has. So CNN sent the esteemed Nic Robertson over to Tahrir Square<\/a> to ask the protestors what it meant to them that Barack Obama had inspired their priest. And they said, “Who? Barack what? Obama\u2019s got nothing to do with what we\u2019re doing.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/FreeSpeechShort.jpg\")
\n“The Missouri University Police Department, MUPD, sent an e-mail to students Tuesday morning –” that\u2019s today, for those of you in Rio Linda “– urging them to call them and report any hurtful speech they encounter on the campus. In an email that was flagged by several Missouri-based journalists, the MUPD asked ‘individuals who witness incidents of hateful and\/or hurtful speech or actions\u2019 to call the department?\u2019s general phone line ‘to continue to ensure that the University of Missouri campus remains safe.'”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushPolitical.jpg\")
\n“In the email, MUPD readily admits that hurtful or hateful speech is not against the law,” but that doesn\u2019t matter. Only the feelings of our young children students matter. The police department writes, if the individuals identified, the hurtful speech students, if they\u2019re students, the University\u2019s Office of Student Conduct will be informed and will take disciplinary action. Do you realize the power this gives the children? (crying) “I saw a Confederate flag two blocks away going through a green light!” And they\u2019re gonna track down that car, they\u2019re gonna find the Confederate flag, and if it\u2019s a student, student\u2019s gonna hear from the university administration department and explain him- or herself. And if they don\u2019t have a valid reason for driving around with a Confederate flag somewhere on their car — and who could in this day and age — then I shudder to think what\u2019s gonna happen. They might be thrown out of school because they\u2019re unnecessarily upsetting the student body.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CollegeRapists.jpg\")
\nNothing is safe. Everybody feels threatened. The student feels threatened. Apparently the president of the college didn\u2019t respond, didn\u2019t do anything. The office of the president didn\u2019t react, and therefore the students felt ostracized. They felt ignored. They felt irrelevant. They felt like nobody cared. Nobody from upper management, theoretically, cared. Nobody was upset whatsoever. And we have an unsafe, dangerous environment, and nobody cared to do anything. And that\u2019s what started all of this. The football team?<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/FlagCultural-Rot.jpg\")
\nEither way, I want to read to you her resume. I\u2019d like for you to hear it, \u2019cause this woman is telling the media they are not welcome among the students as they protest on the Mizzou campus. You know why? Because media is making them feel unsafe, the media is forcing its way in. The left is totally creating… This is what I mean. They created this situation. They\u2019re running the show. You know, this whole state is run by Democrats. The university is run by Democrat. The governor\u2019s a Democrat, the senators are Democrats — or one of them is.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/50ShadesofGrey.jpg\")
\n“Current research projects involve 50 Shades of Grey readers, the impact of social media in fans?\u2019 relationship with Lady Gaga, masculinity and male fans, messages about class and food in reality television programming, and messages about work in children?\u2019s television programs.” That\u2019s your mass media, mass communications studies teacher. And she was interviewed. We have a sound bite. This is number 1A. She\u2019s on CNN This Morning with Carol Costello. Her name is Elisa Glick.

<\/a>Remember, Obama has lamented that he missed them. He feels very bad that he missed them. The people that hate this country, people that despise it, people who grew up being taught what a rotten place this was all the way back in the sixties through today are running the country now. It\u2019s why it matters to me. They\u2019re tearing it apart. They are destroying this great country as it was founded. It isn\u2019t gonna be long until you\u2019re gonna start seeing pieces, journalistic pieces — you\u2019re gonna see news stories, commentary — on all the things Obama did that changed America for the worse.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MizzAnderson.jpg\")
