The truth is a variable.  The truth is definable based on who has the power to do that.  They didn\u2019t get what they wanted in Ferguson, so now they\u2019re trying to &#8212; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2014\/12\/01\/white-house-race-charade-irrelevant-talk-post-ferguson\/\">Rich Lowry had a great line in his column today<\/a>.  I think it was in the New York Post. <\/p>\n<p>It was about the aftermath of Ferguson, and it was about the meeting at the White House with Sharpton and Obama and Eric Holder. And Lowry said (paraphrasing), &#8220;Well, what are they gonna do?  What are they gonna do now?  What are they gonna do to win?  Are they gonna go out and find another cop to falsely accuse of racial assassination and attempt to railroad into an indictment or conviction?  What are they gonna do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I got to thinking, how would you like to be a police officer right now in this climate?  If you\u2019re a police officer in this climate you almost might conclude, you see a crime in action, whatever kind of crime, a robbery or somebody beating somebody else up, you maybe just don\u2019t do anything.  Just let it happen, particularly if there\u2019s a racial component involved. Just don\u2019t even go there. Just let the crime happen.  The safer route might be to just to let that happen given the climate that\u2019s out there right now. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_99412\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/THUMB_HandsUp.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I mean, they didn\u2019t get what they wanted in Ferguson and they\u2019re gonna get it somewhere, they\u2019re gonna find it somewhere, and Obama and the boys are now trying to re-create the scenario that what happened in Ferguson, the grand jury, all of that\u2019s irrelevant.  What now matters is how people feel about this.  In the House of Representatives today the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucasians, walked in with their hands up saying, &#8220;Don\u2019t shoot.&#8221;  (interruption)  No, I\u2019m not kidding you.  And it was led by a guy named Hakeem Jeffries. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Do you remember the name Leonard Jeffries?  Does the name Leonard Jeffries ring a bell?  It does?  Leonard Jeffries was the notorious chairman of the black studies department at CUNY New York, City University of New York.  Leonard Jeffries, Leonard Jeffries is the racist who promulgated the claim that Jews financed the slave trade and used the movie industry to hurt black people.  Leonard Jeffries also claims that white people are ice people and black people are sun people. <\/p>\n<p>Now, he was fired by CUNY after a time.  I mean, they tried to hang in there and be tough, but Jeffries was fired by CUNY for all of this.  He sued the school to get reinstated claiming all he was doing was exercising his First Amendment rights.  So it was his son leading the Congressional Black Caucasians into the House today.  Hakeem Jeffries leading the Congressional Black Caucus into the House chamber &#8212; we have it on audiotape.  Here it is.  This is Hakeem. It\u2019s actually last night on the House floor.  This is what happened.<\/p>\n<p>JEFFRIES:  Let me now yield to my good friend, the distinguished congresswoman who represents the neighboring district at home in Brooklyn.  She\u2019s a fighter for justice, a voice for the voiceless, and it\u2019s now my privilege to yield to Congresswoman Yvette Clarke.<\/p>\n<p>CLARKE:  Hands up, don\u2019t shoot.  I thank my colleague and friend, Mr. Jeffries.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dpB-rEf7xLQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  See, it used to be: &#8220;I thank the gentleman of New York for yielding&#8221; and then you go into your spiel.  But now the Congressional Black Caucasians are saying, &#8220;Hands up, don\u2019t shoot,&#8221; Mr. Chairman.  (interruption)  Each other and the chairman, yeah, the Speaker.  Hands up, don\u2019t shoot, Mr. Speaker.  I thank my colleague and friend, Hakeem Jeffries, noted progeny of the famous Leonard Jeffries, CUNY New York.  Last night on the House floor &#8212; you know, I\u2019m gonna circle back to this, but <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=7650\">this Rams business and those players coming out<\/a>, the five Rams players during player introductions and raising their arms, raising their hands and the quote &#8220;don\u2019t shoot,&#8221; I\u2019m telling you there\u2019s gonna be blowback on this.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they know it, but this is gonna be a bigger problem than the NFL realizes. I don\u2019t know if I should spend time detailing what I think the problems gonna be, just let it happen and then say afterwards &#8220;I told you.  I told you.&#8221;  There\u2019s already some blowback.  I don\u2019t even know if the Rams are aware of it, but I\u2019ll tell you why people are getting fed up.  Here come these guys out raising their hands in uniform, &#8220;Hands up, don\u2019t shoot,&#8221; the grand jury, it didn\u2019t happen!  The grand jury established factually that that didn\u2019t happen, and everybody knows this.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=7663\">This is my point about truth and power<\/a> and how power overpowers truth if it\u2019s in the right or, depending on your perspective, wrong hands.  But an effort is being made to convince as many people as possible that the Gentle Giant was surrendering, that he had his hands up and this racist cop assassinated him.  This racist cop went hunting, he found the Gentle Giant, he raised his hands, he surrendered, and he got shot.  And that\u2019s not what happened, and the grand jury and the autopsy and every shred of evidence that was heard disproves it.  And yet here come these players with their hands up.  They\u2019re clueless.  <\/p>\n<p>So who\u2019s telling these players whatever it is they know?  I\u2019m sorry.  Hakeem Jeffries is the nephew of Leonard Jeffries, not the son.  It\u2019s a minor point.  But I want to be correct here.  There\u2019s nothing wrong with being Leonard Jeffries\u2019 son, don\u2019t misunderstand.  I\u2019m just saying he\u2019s a nephew.  Well, still sun people, right.  And I\u2019m still an ice guy.  That hasn\u2019t changed.  But who\u2019s telling these players what it is they believe?  That didn\u2019t happen.  Hands were not raised, he didn\u2019t say &#8220;I surrender,&#8221; and he didn\u2019t get shot in that circumstance.  (interruption)  Oh, I know, I know the entire thing. I know who\u2019s telling \u2019em.  I\u2019m asking rhetorically, but the point is, they\u2019re believing it.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=7663\"><img id=\"eZObject_99409\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushFergRealVille.jpg\"\/><\/a>They were asked about it, &#8220;Well, no, no, we just wanted to show support for the community.&#8221;  What community?  The community knows this didn\u2019t happen.  The community knows, and I don\u2019t mean just the black community, the community of Ferguson, St. Louis, knows it didn\u2019t happen.  And now there\u2019s a big spat. The Police Officers Association wanted an apology from the Rams, and they think they got one.  And then the Rams said, &#8220;Oh, no, you didn\u2019t.  We called you, and we sent you a note, but we didn\u2019t apologize.&#8221;  The Rams are making tracks to the media, &#8220;We did not apologize.  Our players are free citizens and can say or do things, and it\u2019s up to them.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>But I have the commissioner on tape suggesting that kind of behavior would not be tolerated in the NFL, if, say, somebody like me was involved.  So, anyway, there\u2019s blowback over whether or not there\u2019s been an apology, with the cops thinking they got one. The Rams could have just said, &#8220;Okay, fine.&#8221;  But instead, &#8220;No, no, we didn\u2019t! We didn\u2019t! We want to be very clear about this.&#8221; (interruption) Well, that\u2019s the point.  Eric Holder\u2019s gonna end racial profiling, and Obama said he had a meeting up there yesterday at the White House with Al Sharpton, who may as well be the vice president now, and said &#8212; in fact, let me grab that sound bite.  I\u2019ve put it at the bottom of the Stack.  This is Obama yesterday at the Old Executive Office Building, the OEO, after meeting with law enforcement community leaders. We have two sound bites, they both matter.  Here\u2019s the first one.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  Ferguson laid bare a problem that is not unique to St. Louis or that area and is not unique to our time, and that is a simmering distrust that exists between too many police departments and too many communities of color, too many individuals, particularly young people of color do not feel as if they are being treated fairly.  And as I said last week, when any part of the American family does not feel like it is being treated fairly, that\u2019s a problem for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay, so, you see, ladies and gentlemen, the truth is irrelevant here, the truth doesn\u2019t matter, the grand jury results don\u2019t matter. It\u2019s instead how people feel about it, and it\u2019s also a point that I made yesterday about why I could never succeed in politics because politics is not about what is.  Politics is not about the way things are.  Politics is about the way things seem. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_99410\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaYesWeCare.jpg\"\/><BR\/>And this is Obama trying to make things seem like it doesn\u2019t matter what the grand jury said, doesn\u2019t matter, none of that matters.  What matters is that I have constituents of mine, they\u2019re young people of color, and they don\u2019t think they\u2019re being treated fairly.  Throughout the country, not just in Ferguson, but all over the country.  And as long as that\u2019s going on, as long as any part of the American family doesn\u2019t feel like it\u2019s being treated fairly, that\u2019s a problem for all of us. I don\u2019t care what the grand jury said. I don\u2019t care what the facts of the case are, doesn\u2019t matter. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>So you see, the first black president acknowledges that his presence has not mattered a whit in improving race relations, and not only have they not mattered a whit, he is going to capitalize on the fact that he has failed to smooth over race relations.  He\u2019s going to take advantage of it.  He\u2019s going to use it.  Here\u2019s the next bite which illustrates that.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  Part of the reason this time will be different is because the president of the United States is deeply invested in making sure that this time is different.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Stop the tape.  Every African-American in this audience, look at me, look at your radio, look at me.  We are at the end of the sixth year of the historic presidency of the first African-American elected to be president in this country.  And he just said less than 24 hours ago this time is gonna be different because this time the president is invested in making sure this time is different.  What\u2019s been going on these last six years, then?  Why is he only getting involved in this kind of thing now?<\/p>\n<p>How many of you, shall I say ice people, voted for Obama hoping that his election would be the end of this kind of BS and you\u2019re hearing him say (imitating Obama) &#8220;all right, all right, it\u2019s gonna be different this time because the president of the United States is involved, is gonna be deeply invested in making sure this time is different.&#8221;  This time\u2019s gonna be different?  How\u2019s it gonna be different?  The grand jury spoke, the grand jury had reams and reams of evidence.  We know what happened.  What do you mean, we\u2019re gonna make it different?  I don\u2019t know.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  In our first sound bite that we played of Obama, he starts out by saying, &#8220;Ferguson laid bare a problem that\u2019s not unique to St. Louis or that area.&#8221;  What was laid bare?  What problem was laid bare in Ferguson?  I\u2019m serious. I know I\u2019m a naturally funny guy but I\u2019m not trying to be funny here, and I\u2019m not trying to be outrageous.  Would somebody tell me what problem was laid bare in Ferguson?<\/p>\n<p>That it\u2019s a problem you can\u2019t attack a cop, you can\u2019t rob a convenience store, you can\u2019t try to take a cop\u2019s gun &#8212; and we gotta change that?  What problem was laid bare?  The problem in Ferguson, we\u2019re being led to believe, is the cops.  The problem in Ferguson is the cops are making the residents nervous and feel like second-class citizens. What\u2019d the cop&#8230;?  It\u2019s a civil rights issue.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, it\u2019s 180 degrees out of phase.  It is senseless.  What problem was laid bare?  Now Obama\u2019s out there saying, &#8220;We\u2019re gonna put cameras on every cop.&#8221;  By the way, just as a side note, that didn\u2019t come out of yesterday\u2019s meeting.  Obama advanced that idea way back long before the election.  He\u2019s just trying to revive it to get credit for it in this aftermath.  But how is a camera on a cop going to clean up criminal activity in a community? <\/p>\n<p>If you want to put cameras on people, you need to put out a message: &#8220;Hey, members of the community,&#8221; whatever community, &#8220;if you\u2019re gonna rob a convenience store you must first come and attach this Obama body cam so that we will have clear evidence of how somebody unfairly stopped you from robbing the convenience store.&#8221;  What&#8230;? This is so out of whack, this is so out of phase, that people are gonna go insane trying to keep it all straight &#8212; which is the idea, in part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Yesterday during the discussion of the aftermath in Ferguson, Missouri, and what I characterized as power, not truth, taking place.
