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

RUSH: You see this? “Boko Haram Kidnaps More Women,” UK Guardian<\/a>. I tell you, these are some brave guys. You challenge that hashtag, and you\u2019ve got some gonads, I\u2019m telling you. These guys apparently are fearless. That hashtag, I mean, that\u2019s big. You throw that hashtag, #BringBackOurGirls<\/a>, out there and that says something.<\/line>And these guys are just (raspberry) us! I mean, they\u2019re just, “(Raspberry!) you and your hashtag.” Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have reportedly kidnapped 20 women from a nomadic settlement in northeast Nigeria near the town of Chibok, where the Islamic militants abducted more than 300 schoolgirls and young women on April 15,” most of whom are still missing despite the power of the Twitter hashtag, #BringBackOurGirls.<\/line>“Alhaji Tar a member of the vigilante groups set up to resist Boko Haram\u2019s attacks, said the men arrived at noon Thursday in the Garkin Fulani settlement and forced the women to enter their vehicles at gunpoint.” Hundreds of people flashed the hashtag at them, and it didn\u2019t stop them. It was something to see. A lot of local residents had that hashtag on piece of paper. Here comes Boko Haram with weapons and guns kidnapping women, and these people are holding up signs with a hashtag, and Boko Haram didn\u2019t stop!<\/line>Can you believe it?<\/line>What brave guys!<\/line>I\u2019ll tell you what, you flout that hashtag and you\u2019re gonna have Obama to deal with just like Bashar Assad did, or… Well, whatever. “News of the latest kidnapping came as the people of Maiduguri buried more than 100 bodies almost a week after a Boko Haram attack. Local leaders said many more victims of the attacks had yet to be found.” Now these are women. These are not little girls. The 300 original kidnap victims were girls. These are women. These Boko Haram thugs are now totally out of control. So we need a new hashtag now. We had #BringBackOurGirls. Now it\u2019s time for #BringBackOurWomen.<\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Pottsville, Pennsylvania. James, you\u2019re first today. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush Limbaugh. I got a question. Do you have kids?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do I have kids? I have nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Now, what if —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait a second. Is your name James?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is. Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What if something happened to one of your nieces or nephews and you wanted to bring them back home. Wouldn\u2019t you want social media to help you bring them back?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uhhh, well, I actually wouldn\u2019t expect social media to really succeed in bringing them back. If it makes you feel better to use social media to alert people that the kids are gone or whatever, then that\u2019s fine, but thinking that it\u2019s going to get them returned, I would not fall into that trap myself, but —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not saying that it\u2019s a trap. I\u2019m saying with all the technology today, social media would be the best way to bring back your loved one if they\u2019re kidnapped or if they\u2019re missing, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Has this worked before?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — wouldn\u2019t you want the help?<\/p>\n

RUSH: James, look, I realize I\u2019m getting old and maybe missing out on something. Can you tell me where such a hashtag has resulted in the return of a kidnapped child?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I can\u2019t tell you necessarily how social media helped with bringing back a kidnapped child, but I can tell you when the Chilean minors were stuck in the mine, social media did help to bring them out of that mine.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really? So if it weren\u2019t for social media, there would have been no attempt to rescue the miners kidnapped by the mine?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Can you say that again?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so you had the miners.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re in there doing their job and the mine decides to kidnap \u2019em. Okay, they\u2019re gone. They\u2019re lost. They\u2019re in the mine. They\u2019ve been kidnapped by the mine. All of a sudden social media pops up, and that is why they were rescued?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Without social media they would have been just left in there to die?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Without social media it\u2019s a possibility they could have.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really? So the people —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — in charge of rescuing the miners, if there hadn\u2019t been #BringBackOurMiners hashtags or whatever, they would have just left them in there to die?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not saying that. What I\u2019m saying is that social media today does help and the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls is necessary because it\u2019s not illegal immigrants. It\u2019s daughters of African women, and they should be treated as human beings.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the hashtag is not gonna change the way they\u2019re being treated. The hashtag doesn\u2019t know whether they\u2019re human beings. The hashtag doesn\u2019t know whether they\u2019re being kidnapped or illegal or not. The hashtag, like I say, if you want to engage in that kind of social media because you feel better after doing it, that\u2019s great, that\u2019s wonderful, but it isn\u2019t gonna get anybody back.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. But I do want to tell you something about — there\u2019s breaking news going on right now. There\u2019s a shooting going on in a high school in Oregon —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m watching it right now. I\u2019m actually seeing that. I\u2019m waiting for the hashtag.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. If you\u2019re watching the news coverage and you\u2019ve seen these kids tweeting their parents that they\u2019re okay, that they\u2019re safe, that they\u2019re alive, that brings a great comfort to them. And if you\u2019re trying to tell those parents that their kids tweeting them isn\u2019t gonna do anything.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not saying that at all. You keep changing the circumstances here. I\u2019m not saying the kids tweeting their parents that they\u2019re okay is not good or irrelevant. I\u2019m not saying that at all. I\u2019m saying if a gunman held those kids hostage you could have 50 million hashtags and it wouldn\u2019t change anything. The only thing that\u2019s gonna change anything is when somebody else goes in and shoots the gunman with another gun. And until you can arm a hashtag and put a trigger on it and a bullet in it, it isn\u2019t gonna matter.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, now speaking about arming and pulling triggers. This lone gun nut, I don\u2019t know if this person has mental problems. I don\u2019t know if this person —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can believe you wouldn\u2019t know that. That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But don\u2019t you think it\u2019s time that we, the people in the United States, stop selling guns to certain people?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What kind of people?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Like people that have severe mental problems. People that don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing when they have a gun.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How are you going to determine that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: There are background checks, but guess what? Congress — the House — the Republicans keep shooting it down —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. See, folks, I\u2019m sure many of you were saying, “What are you doing here, Rush?” If you stick with it long enough you find out what\u2019s really going on here. So it\u2019s the Republicans\u2019 fault that wackos end up with guns.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s not just the Republicans fault —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You just did.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s not just the Republicans\u2019 fault that some people have guns. I know Democrats, and some Democrats do vote for gun rights as well. I don\u2019t know why they\u2019re Democrat. They shouldn\u2019t be, but they vote for gun rights as well, and I respect that they vote for gun rights, but some politicians don\u2019t understand that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know, but you do. See, you do. So we need to put you in charge of determining who is qualified to have a gun and who isn\u2019t, because you obviously would be able to tell who should have one and who shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not saying you need to put me in charge of determining who or who shouldn\u2019t have —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I\u2019m saying that. You think that we need to have better background checks, and you need to —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, we do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — have somebody that we can somehow stop these people from doing what they\u2019re doing by preventing them from getting the gun. Okay, well, how are we gonna identify them? You said they\u2019re wackos. How are we gonna identify them as wackos? Do you realize you cannot accuse somebody of being mentally insane? That\u2019s discrimination. You can\u2019t accuse somebody of being anything. It\u2019s discriminating against them. You\u2019re being unfair to them. You\u2019re unequal and all that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I\u2019m not being unequal. I\u2019m just a concerned United States citizen about the public safety of my fellow people —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why? I thought the hashtags and social media fixed all of this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I believe it can.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Okay. Look, James, thanks for the call. I appreciate it. What were we talking about yesterday? The low-information voter and how they don\u2019t know who they are.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me explain this hashtag phenomena to you in another way. Our last caller really believes that hashtags are a productive way of dealing with social unrest or any other kind of problem, despite the fact they accomplish nothing. Nothing toward the real objective. Now, the hashtag can make you feel better and make you think you\u2019re doing something.<\/p>\n

It can show others that you care — and of course, in our touchy-feely society, that counts for almost everything now. You don\u2019t have to do anything beyond care. I mean, that\u2019s the definition of a great liberal. It\u2019s the easiest, most gutless choice in the world you can make. To be a liberal, you just have to say you care. Bam! That\u2019s it. Actually doing something about something?<\/p>\n

No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.<\/p>\n

The hashtag will do it!<\/p>\n

You remember the death and subsequent funeral and funeral procession for Princess Diana? You remember how the media and a lot of people were stunned at the tens of thousands of people who showed up along the funeral procession route and the tens of thousands of people who put flowers at various spots? And our social analysts on American TV said, “This is a sign of just how important to people Princess Diana was.”<\/p>\n

Now in my usual curmudgeon self, quickly rejected that as not possible. Not enough people knew Princess Diana to be personally impacted by her life or death. But in the terms of celebrity pop culture, journalism, well, now, that\u2019s an entirely different thing. And what was happening? What was happening was a huge news story: The death of Princess Di and how it happened.<\/p>\n

Did she really love Dodi, and were her last words to Dodi about Dodi, or was she cursing the last meal she had, scrambled eggs at the Ritz? Nobody knows. This was what occupied people. They wanted to be part of the story. There was no social media at the time. There was no way to tell everybody in a mass way how you cared. There was no way to make yourself part of something that had captured the world.<\/p>\n

So the closest thing you could do is go drop some flowers along the route and then stand there while the hearse and other parts of the motorcade went by. It was just people wanting to be part of the story. Well, today Twitter allows that from your basement with a hashtag.<\/p>\n

It allows you to be part of the story. It makes you think you matter. It makes you think you\u2019re doing something. The fact that you aren\u2019t is irrelevant. The fact that you think you are doing something is all that counts. There\u2019s a political party that\u2019s really good at appealing to these people, and you all know which one it is.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jennifer in Las Vegas. You\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you. Hello.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Fine. And let me tell you I\u2019d much rather talk to you people than listen to sound bites of Hillary Clinton, and that\u2019s why I went to the phones. But we\u2019re gonna do Hillary in the next hour, so we all have to gut it up now and then. Jennifer, thanks for calling. How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m fantastic. Thank you. I was on my way to work and heard your caller talking about the fact that they need to check people who have guns. They need to do better background checks and verify whether or not they have mental illness. I just have to say, they already have those laws in place. Several years ago I was going through a divorce, and my ex-husband decided he needed to get a gun, \u2019cause he thought I was dangerous, and he was definitely experiencing some deep depression, and he still got a gun. So there are ways around it. He had a friend buy the gun for him, and that\u2019s how he got around it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait. You knew he was deeply depressed, but was it obvious to people?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. Absolutely. And, you know, in fact —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I\u2019ll tell you what. We owe the ACLU. They\u2019re the ones who are preventing all of us from digging deep to find out just how disturbed people might be. That\u2019s considered discrimination and unfairness and all that. So the ACLU is largely responsible for our inability to identify people who might pose a problem with a background check. We\u2019re just not allowed to notice that. We\u2019re not allowed to act on it if we do notice it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true. But it was apparent to everybody, and because it made me so uncomfortable, I went to investigate whether I should get a gun, and they have a questionnaire. “Are you experiencing depression?” And he was under treatment by a psychiatrist for his depression, and he can still get the gun.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sure. As long as you\u2019re honest. You got 10 seconds. Did you get a gun?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not until the last couple of years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But did you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I did eventually.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. You\u2019re safe. That\u2019s all you need to know.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The second caller today, the woman named James who was touting hashtags as the solution to kidnapped kids and gunmen who had taken over schools and so forth. Hashtags as the reason miners are rescued. She also said — and I\u2019ve got a lot of e-mail reaction to this, which is why I want to spend just a few short seconds on this. She said there need to be laws. There need to be laws about denying people who are crazy the right to get a gun. And of course we have such laws. We\u2019ve got more laws in this country than people can keep track of.<\/p>\n

There is a federal law, everything she complained about is already against the law. The federal law Section 922(d) of the penal code, and there are a slew of similar laws throughout the states.<\/p>\n

“It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person – (1) is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year; (2) is a fugitive from justice; (3) is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)); (4) has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.”<\/p>\n

I mean, it goes on and on and on. And in fact, Georgia has a law, licenses will not be issued to any person who\u2019s been hospitalized as an inpatient in any mental hospital or alcohol or drug treatment center. Hawaii, no person shall own, possess, or control any firearm or ammo if the person is or has been diagnosed as having significant behavioral, emotional, or mental disorder as defined by yada. Texas has one of the longest lists of mental illnesses that prevent you from legally purchasing a gun. And yet that woman had no idea. Not surprising.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. I can\u2019t tell you how useful that call was. Low-information voter, unaware of it totally. Totally caught up in emotion and caring as substance. I mean, that call was quite useful in terms of illustrating the kind of thing that we\u2019re up against. You can blame things on Obama and the Democrats, and we will and we do, but there are people that elect them, and there are a lot of them. And they are the product of their education and their environment and the media. It\u2019s an overwhelming task, I think, if somebody wanted to tackle this and, say, try to get these people straightened out. That would be monumental. It\u2019s why the preferred mechanism is to just beat them, defeat them, and don\u2019t coddle them and cower to \u2019em because you can\u2019t. It\u2019s a waste of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
