\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Monica, Spring Hill, Florida. I\u2019m glad you waited. Really appreciate your patience, and hello, Monica.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello (kissing) big hug and kiss to you. (laughing).<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ha-ha-ha. Thank you very much. I feel it, I really do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. So I need your help. We\u2019re listening to you and my husband and I are talking about this Rachel<\/a> chick and how, oh, she\u2019s so crazy, she\u2019s white and she thinks she\u2019s black. And then I paused and I looked at my husband and I said, “Okay, I was born in Venezuela, I am technically Hispanic.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But I do not relate to the Hispanic culture. I think of myself as white. And I was telling him, when I have to fill out some paper that says what race are you, I kind of look at it and go, “Oh, yeah, I guess I am Hispanic,” but I completely embraced, I guess you could say, American white culture. I don\u2019t think of myself as Hispanic because, if I say I\u2019m Spanish, “Oh, well, you must like spicy food or I should dress a certain way and like certain music.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are offering evidence of how people are getting swept up into this. The truth is you were born in Venezuela, it means you were a communist.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And now living in America, you become a capitalist. That is all that matters. And the rest of this stuff is just window dressing.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s just it. It\u2019s like I have completely — I came to this country when I was nine so I have completely assimilated to this culture, and I don\u2019t think of myself in a Hispanic way. And so I can kind of relate to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no. No. Serious. Monica, seriously —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Help me! (Laughing).<\/p>\n

RUSH: You can\u2019t relate. Your story is not similar.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re just an American.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I\u2019m not crazy, I don\u2019t need to get some —<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: No, you see what happens here? Now you\u2019re out there thinking you\u2019re crazy. You think you can relate to this woman because you were born in Venezuela, which makes you Hispanic. You\u2019re normal. You\u2019re a human being, you live in America, you like the country, and you\u2019re trying to make the best of it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My husband is totally white, I mean, I just don\u2019t relate to the Spanish culture, the music, all that stuff. People just assume things, like people think that because I\u2019m Spanish —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. Wait, wait, wait. Wait a second. Why, just because you were born in Venezuela, should you like having a pinata at Christmas? What in the world, there\u2019s nothing that says that. You didn\u2019t grow up there. You grew up in the United States.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I mean, I do like aspects about Hispanic culture, of course, but I just —<\/p>\n

RUSH: So do I. Nachos. Anyway, look, I\u2019m out of time here. It\u2019s probably a good thing. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Mike in Alexandria, Louisiana. Great to have you on the program. Welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir, Rush. How you doing today?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well, sir. Thanks much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Pleasure to be able to talk to you. Look, I just wanted to make a comment about this Rachel girl. When she was being interviewed, I don\u2019t know who it was she was talking to, but in any case, what she said at the end caught me. It struck me when she said something about when the interviewer was asking her about being honest or true about who she was or whatever, I don\u2019t remember the exact words. She said her truth or “my truth.” So now truth is whatever someone thinks it is or who they are. In this case she thinks she\u2019s black, so it must be true because she thinks it, and you have truth under assault.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is exactly my point from the opening monologue today. There is no objective truth anymore. And, folks, we cannot hold together as a cohesive society for very long if there is no objective truth. If there are no objective facts. The woman is not black. No matter how you measure it, no matter how you calculate it, biologically, genealogically she isn\u2019t black, and she knows it because she does not want to be called African-American. She knows that she\u2019s not African-American, so black is a mind-set to her. <\/p>\n

If I were African-American, civil rights, I\u2019d be livid. She\u2019s nuking everything these people have been trying to accomplish. I mean, the civil rights community — let me restate this. Sometimes you have to say things over and over for them to penetrate people\u2019s minds. The fact is the civil rights community, as it is currently constituted and has been for the recent past, has one objective, and that is to continue to convince as many people as possible of the horrors of being born black in the United States. It\u2019s the worst thing can happen to any human being, is to be born black. The oppression is worse than ever. It\u2019s almost like slavery hasn\u2019t ended. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the message. It\u2019s just never ending discrimination, racism, bigotry, all of those things thrown in, oppression, you name it. That is why all these white people are feeling guilty. They\u2019ve been hearing this their whole lives. I mean, if there\u2019s all this racism and oppression, who\u2019s been doing it? White people. If the worst thing to happen to anybody is to be born black in the United States, somebody\u2019s gotta be responsible. The white people. <\/p>\n

So you get hold of these young white kids and you start pummeling \u2019em with this stuff, Saturday morning cartoon shows, kindergarten class, grade school, middle school, you name it, doesn\u2019t take long before they\u2019re walking around so burdened with guilt that they can\u2019t live with themselves \u2019cause they think they\u2019re responsible for all these people feeling so horrible and unsafe and put upon and discriminated against and can\u2019t get jobs. There\u2019s nothing fair for \u2019em out there, just horrible, and we\u2019re responsible. <\/p>\n

They think they are personally responsible. They probably never discriminated against anybody in their lives. Probably haven\u2019t held anybody back in their lives, and they\u2019re walking around with hundreds of years of guilt that\u2019s been ladled on their shoulders. So here comes Dolezal flipping around here, scamming the NAALCP in Spokane. She feels so bad, they\u2019ve done such a good job guilt-tripping her that she wants to be black. Well, the problem, on the other hand, is the civil rights community, how can anybody want to be black. That doesn\u2019t really make sense. If it\u2019s so bad, if the worst thing that can happen to you is to be born black in the United States, why would some white chick want to be black. It just destroys the whole meme. <\/p>\n

<\/a>So if I were them, I\u2019d be livid, but they\u2019re confused. They\u2019re conflated because we live in the era of PC, and if she thinks she is black, well, then, she is, because there is no objective truth anymore. And it\u2019s for this reason I say the insane are sweeping us all out. They\u2019re Hoovering us, folks. They\u2019re sucking us all up in their giant vacuum hose and they\u2019re taking us with them, whether we want to go or not. And when there\u2019s no objective truth, there can\u2019t be any real education. When there are no facts, when everything is what you want it to be, when you are what you feel — by the way, do you know what happened? <\/p>\n

You know, yesterday on this program I officially announced that I identify as skinny, to make a point. And I do. I identify as skinny and if you don\u2019t see me the way I see myself, you are the bigot. So the next time you see me you better think skinny \u2019cause if you don\u2019t, you\u2019re the bigot, you\u2019re the discriminator. So at Mediaite<\/a>, they run this little story, the giant headline: “Rush Limbaugh Mocks Rachel Dolezal.” Mocks? <\/p>\n

You see, it used to be called satire. It used to be called parody, and it still is if Jon Stewart does it. It still is if Jimmy Fallon does it. It still is if any leftist comedian, Bill Maher does it. I come along and do it, it\u2019s mocking, it\u2019s making fun of, it\u2019s looking down on, it\u2019s mean-spirited and extremist and so forth. Anyway, not to lose my train of thought. The caller is exactly right. There is no objective truth, except there is, see. That\u2019s the little secret. There is truth. There are facts. <\/p>\n

And if something… (interruption) What? (interruption) What … what … what … what … what? (interruption) All right. All right. All right. Snerdley has a question but it must… (interruption) You must have been worried that my answer might go on the air \u2019cause you are waiting to ask me the question during the commercial break. Are you disagreeing with me when I say that there is objective truth? (interruption) What do you mean, “Not quite?” (interruption) There is…? (interruption)<\/p>\n

Mmm-hmm. (interruption) The question is, “What if black isn\u2019t a race and instead is a culture?” Fine. That still doesn\u2019t make her black. She\u2019s not black! She\u2019s telling people she\u2019s black. She is not saying, “I\u2019m more comfortable with black life and black culture.” She\u2019s telling people she identifies as black, and she\u2019s causing all these stories, genealogical traces trying to find any evidence of slave blood. Her parents, bless their hearts, are going crazy here. <\/p>\n

And, by the way, it\u2019s a potential giant pitfall to start talking about black culture, or any other culture, because you could invariably be accused of bigotry just the way you might describe it, any culture, by the people in it. But your question really is rooted in, “Is there a culture out there that is you call black culture that has nothing to do with race?” Is that your question? (interruption) Well, answer it yourself. You\u2019re in a better position to know than I am. (interruption) Okay, is…? (interruption) Is there…? (interruption) <\/p>\n

Is there a white culture independent of the white race? (interruption) Is there? (interruption) I don\u2019t think this way, so I\u2019m gonna need some help. All I could… Folks, let me further elucidate this. Let\u2019s go back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites. Remember one of our parody tunes here, “Barack the ‘Magic Negro'”?<\/a> Now, if you remember that, what you probably… Well, not you in this audience because you remember.<\/p>\n

But the low-information crowd out there, the skulls full of mush, what they think about that, what they think they know about that is 180 degrees wrong. “Barack the ‘Magic Negro'” was the end of a sordid news cycle in which this country was treated to a debate over who was authentically black and who wasn\u2019t. At the time, 2007-2008, many in the civil rights community who were still aligned with Hillary were accusing Obama of being inauthentic. <\/line><\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the “Magic Negro” column in the LA Times came from<\/a>. I mean, this is nothing new. It\u2019s just getting worse and worse. It\u2019s getting sicker and sicker. The “Magic Negro,” in lore, is exactly what Obama was. This is not my definition. It\u2019s in the Urban Dictionary. I\u2019d never heard of it, by the way, until the black guy wrote the column on it in the LA Times. I\u2019d never heard the term “Magic Negro.” I didn\u2019t know what it was, and it turns out that it\u2019s an African-American that\u2019s not threatening, that makes white people feel safe voting for them, in the political context.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s deeper than that, though. But the arguments about Obama\u2019s authenticity were all on the left. They were all the Democrat Party. And it got pretty vicious out there on the Democrat Party side, on the side of the American left. It was vicious. You had people say Obama wasn\u2019t authentic, wasn\u2019t down for the struggle, didn\u2019t really have “slave blood.” He didn\u2019t know anything about it; he had to fake it. He goes to Selma. He didn\u2019t know what Selma was about; he had never heard of Selma. He had to read about it. His dad was never in Selma, except dad was inspired by Selma, Obama said. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I tell you what, the race industry had better be very careful here, folks, because let\u2019s jump off here from Mr. Snerdley\u2019s pregunta to me, “What if black isn\u2019t race? What if it\u2019s just culture?” Just a culture. Well, if black is not a race — if it\u2019s just a social construct, if it\u2019s just a distinct and unique culture — then there\u2019s no reason for affirmative action, folks, because race is all made up. If black isn\u2019t a race, and the only way you can welcome Rachel Dolezal to the tribe is to say, “Black isn\u2019t a race, it\u2019s a culture.” <\/p>\n

She\u2019s not black! She not African. She not African-American. She\u2019s not South African. She\u2019s no African. She\u2019s zilch, zero, nada. Yet she identifies as black. Black culture. Well, if black culture isn\u2019t race, then bye-bye affirmative action. They better be very care. That\u2019s not gonna happen, but I mean could open up the argument. Now, the “Magic Negro” column, that was the LA Times. It was in 2007. It was by a guy named David Ehrenstein<\/a>, who is…what now? He\u2019s black or African-American? He\u2019s both. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s a black guy who wrote the column. Here\u2019s an excerpt: “He\u2019s there…” Obama is. “He\u2019s there to assuage white ‘guilt\u2019 (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.” That\u2019s how the “Magic Negro” was described in the LA Times. I didn\u2019t make any of it up.<\/p>\n

Of course, I got tarred and feathered for creating it, inventing it and all that, but I didn\u2019t. The lyrics of the parody song even make that plain. If black isn\u2019t a race, then you\u2019re not born that way, \u2019cause your little two-month old baby doesn\u2019t yet know what culture he\u2019s gonna adopt, right? So if black\u2019s not a race, then you aren\u2019t born that way. These people… (sigh) I\u2019ll tell you. John in Leavenworth, Washington, great to have you, sir. I\u2019m glad you called. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush, for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I just… I haven\u2019t watched this super closely, the Rachel Dolezal thing. I have to maintain my sanity. But I haven\u2019t heard anybody mention her teaching career that she\u2019s actively involved in. Specifically, she\u2019s a teacher at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Washington, just outside Spokane. My daughter has one of her classes this last fall, and my daughter tried to describe some of the classes, and it\u2019s a little beyond my understanding how far some of the stuff went, discussions in class. But I just thought I hadn\u2019t heard anybody talk about that, about her being a teacher and educating young minds to go down her path.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, people are. I mean, I\u2019ve got the story in the Stack. The Dolezal Stack is pretty thick now. The sex tape, the mean ex-husband that forced her into the sex tape, all the photos of her posing as a black babe on the rocks somewhere on a beach, and the fact that she\u2019s a professor or teacher. There\u2019s no question that she\u2019s been pummeling this stuff into younger minds. Well, you have evidence of it right there. (chuckles) His daughter comes home and describes what\u2019s going on in class; the poor guy\u2019s clueless. He can\u2019t figure it out. Anyway, I\u2019m glad you called, John. I really am. I\u2019ve gotta go folks. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I know, Rachel Dolezal is no longer a professor. She\u2019s been fired from the university in Washington. And who knows, they may now end up being sued, given the garbage that was her — She may end up suing them for firing her, like Ward Churchill did when he was run out of Dodge. I think that was in Denver, somewhere in Colorado. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just remembered I promised everybody yesterday that we would go get some sound bites that I didn\u2019t have time to get to yesterday about Rachel Dolezal, and one of them is Don Lemon. Don Lemon of CNN — who, remember, once asked a former transportation secretary if the missing Malaysian airliner could have been sucked up, swallowed up by a black hole. Well, given the way he thinks, it\u2019d be interesting what he thinks of Rachel Dolezal, who identifies as black. <\/p>\n

So this is on Erin Burnett OutFront on Monday night, CNN. She spoke with Don Lemon<\/a>, who anchors his own show there. She said, “It\u2019s one thing to want to identify with a culture and an ethnicity, but she took on everything but the burden.” Meaning: She wanted all the great things about being black, but she didn\u2019t want the burden. “We heard about the burden of being African-American, the way people look you differently on the street. She always has the ability to walk away from that, Don.”<\/line><\/p>\n

LEMON: We\u2019ve been talking a lot about what\u2019s trans-racial. It\u2019s just one more thing that — y\u2019know, that — white people can do that black people can\u2019t. They say, “Hey, listen, I choose to be black, and so I\u2019m gonna be black now.” Y\u2019know, I don\u2019t know of many African-Americans (chuckles) now who can say, “You know what? I\u2019m gonna choose to be white and not have to deal with that burden.”<\/p>\n

BURNETT: Isn\u2019t that kind of a joke that you\u2019re making…?<\/p>\n

LEMON: Everybody\u2019s doing it! Look at, uh, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson\u2019s son. He says he identifies as African-American or as black and with hip-hop culture.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, now, what is this, that black people can\u2019t identify as white? Isn\u2019t that what they accuse Clarence Thomas of doing? I mean, don\u2019t they say Clarence Thomas cannot be black because he\u2019s conservative? Do they not say that? Is that not the same thing as saying Clarence Thomas identifies as being white? Don Lemon\u2019s running around here saying, “Well, it\u2019s unfair.” Of all the ways to look at this, by the way, can you believe this?<\/p>\n

Of all the possibilities you can see here, Don Lemon sees the unfairness, that this woman can run around and say she\u2019s black and it\u2019s cool, but he couldn\u2019t run around and identify as white without being made fun of and laughed at? What a way to look at it. Erin Burnett said, “Isn\u2019t that kind of a joke that you\u2019re making…” But he wasn\u2019t. He was being serious. Erin Burnett said, “She changed the way she looked so that she would look like what she was saying.”<\/p>\n

LEMON: I see some people on television now, and I go, “You\u2019re not white.” You know, there are many people I see on television. But those pictures, as someone who\u2019s from Louisiana, those pictures of her as a kid say nothing to me. Many of us evolve as people. You don\u2019t look the same as you looked when you were 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 years old. We all change. So those pictures really say nothing to me. For me, if she wants to identify as black, come on in. But then you gotta take the burden that comes with it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See? See? You see? This is how they\u2019re dealing with the fact, wait a minute, being black is a burden, it\u2019s oppressive, being black, civil rights community, is the worst thing can happen to you in this country, being born black. So why does this woman want to be black? And now CNN\u2019s discovered, well, you know what, she doesn\u2019t want the burden. She wants to get all the goodies. So she wants to identify as a victim and get all the goodies and she wants to get the affirmative action, but she doesn\u2019t want the burden. <\/p>\n

“Well, come on in, but you better be willing to accept the burden.” And that is, Don? What is the burden? (interruption) He didn\u2019t identify it. What is the burden that he\u2019s talking about in being an African-American? What did Rachel Dolezal have to do in order to be burdened properly? Get a job at CNN? I mean, what is it? He doesn\u2019t identify that. And Whoopi Goldberg, she was on ABC\u2019s The View Monday morning, and this is her take.<\/p>\n

GOLDBERG: Look, just like people say, “I feel like I\u2019m a man. I feel like I\u2019m a woman. I feel like I\u2019m this.” She feels like a black woman. If she wants to be a black woman, fine. Everything that comes with that she is prepared for, okay? As far as I\u2019m concerned, if she wants to be black, she can be black. She\u2019s been passing as this woman for over five years. If this (bleep) don\u2019t know by now what is black, she\u2019s never gonna know, she\u2019s never gonna know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, right, okay, I\u2019m sure it made perfect sense to everybody.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. In fact, that is right. That is right. Whoopi Goldberg said that Dolezal can self-identify with whatever she wants. But she also has said that Carly Fiorina is not fit to be president because she self-identifies as a Christian and pro-life, and as far as Whoopi\u2019s concerned, that disqualifies her. People are just nuts, folks. We\u2019re living in an age of no logic, no thought, no independent, critical thought, and certainly no objective truth. It\u2019s just stunning. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Seth in Columbus, Ohio. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, how are you Rush?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wanted to thank you for coming out as skinny the other day and you\u2019re an inspiration to me and you\u2019re giving me the courage to come out today as a thin young black female lesbian who\u2019s trapped in a fat middle-aged white heterosexual man\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A female cat who identifies himself as a male, and his name\u2019s Bear.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think Caitlyn Jenner has a dog that he thinks is a cat. I think I saw that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, he\u2019s giving me courage.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m happy to be an inspiration. All I did was tell people I identify as skinny yesterday. And look at you. You have been given the courage to identify as who you really think you are.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And it\u2019s uncomfortable as long as everyone recognizes me as that and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, of course, they have to now, that\u2019s the point, they have to recognize you the way they identify. Otherwise they are the bigot. You\u2019re not insane. You\u2019re not crazy. You\u2019re not Looney Tunes. You\u2019re not in need of any kind of help whatsoever. You are the epitome of normalcy in America today, and anybody who doesn\u2019t recognize you as the trans whatever you are, they\u2019re the ones with the problem.<\/p>\n
