Speaker 1 (00:00):
Valprizo, Indiana and Dave. Thank you for waiting, sir. We're
back to you now and I appreciate it. Oh, it
is a pleasure and an honor to be on with you. Rush.
I just wanted to let you know about some of
those things that our university is doing to celebrate Martin
Luther King Day for Diversity. Our topic of discussion this
year is feminism in race relations. You're gonna love this one. Um.
(00:24):
We had a speaker, the co founder of the Black
Think Tank out in San Francisco, doctor Julia hair I wrote,
Luckily I had a parent who was able to write
down a couple of her comments this morning during our convocation,
which I was required to attend by my English class. Uh.
In talking about empowering women, she forgave the mothers of
Donald Rumsfeld and Clarence Thomas for giving birth to them.
(00:48):
She she pray women who ignore the men in their
lives and said that women make better CEOs than men,
At which time I turned to my friend right next
to me and said, uh, and told him about the
what was it? The Queen be effect that you were
talking is about a couple of weeks ago. Yes, yeah,
(01:09):
and it was just and this think just it goes
on and we have some several we have several uh
possible classes that we can go to for the rest
of the day, including the note Child Left Behind Act
and how underachieving minority students are affected. Well, look, you
know this is hilarious in one sense, it's also frustrating.
(01:31):
It's a great example of how the left has corrupted academia.
And I'm gonna have more on this when we got
to the Duke Lacrosse case, because that if you see
that press conference on Saturday afternoon with the North Carolina
Attorney General announced that he's taken a case over and
assigning to prosecutors in his officer to handle it, knife
On wanted to be refused. Knife On wanted out, and
(01:53):
they find Mike, you're going but I'm getting ahead of
myself here, But they said, well, you know, you don't
know anting about this case. I wish we could promise
a speedy conclusion, but we can't promise anything. We're starting
from scratch. I mean, we haven't seen the case. If
we're not even gonna get the case file still next week.
We we it's doing it, but we can't rule out anything.
(02:15):
We can't rule out a rape chart. Okay, so we're
looking at another year of this perhaps, and the parents
of these three guys are facing another year or whatever
length of time it is of legal fees to start
all over again. Uh, there's no case. You know. This
is one of the things that just frustrates the they
all get out of me about about the legal system.
(02:39):
This case is not about the evidence, because there isn't any.
This case is about the seriousness of the charge and soul.
Some stripper comes forward now with three or four different
versions of what happened to her that we've got charges
based on that. The charge is the only think it matters,
(03:01):
not the not the veracity of the accuser, not the
legitimacy of it. No, the nature of the charm, of
the nature of the evidence here is is irrelevant. I
can't believe these people in the in the in the attorney,
and I'm not I know from a legal standpoint, they
have to say certain things, but I can't believe they
don't know anything about this case. I can't believe they
do not watch television or read the local paper in Raleigh.
(03:27):
I'm gonna tell you what I had sixty minutes, had this,
so well, what is d n A guy on last night,
the lab guy, and he he admitted again that he
had knife long withheld exculpatory evidence, and NiFe long even
after he knew the exculpatory evidence existed, was out there
still trashing these three guys. If if I'm saying, if
I'm an American parent and I have an athlete being
(03:50):
recruited a duke, I say no way. I first placed,
don't want to have to send to school with this
kind of a faculty, with this kind of a a
local law and force agency. And I don't want to
have to start saving millions of dollars here for legal fees.
If some wacko comes along and makes some unsubstantiated charge
that happens to fit a liberal political template, and so
(04:12):
everybody accepts it and believes it. What happened at that campus, uh,
with those with those three guys, I mean they were
they were walking through campus after this all happened, with
big banners saying castrat um says spend them, expel them,
or what have you. Can you imagine if anybody had
done that with a group of gay students or feminine
(04:32):
female students or whatever. But this was all tolerated, you know,
so of course I'm not surprised you're gonna have some
lunatic show up on Martin Luther King Day, do a
little convocation here on feminism and uh, what the civil
rights went or what have you, and then say she
forgave the mothers of Rumsfeld and whoever else, Cheney, Clarence Thomas.
(04:57):
The thing you have to understand here, he's pe We're
not trying to be funny. They mean this stuff. Ted Pocatello, Idaho,
You're next on the E I B Network. Hello, Yes,
thanks for taking my call. And the first thing I
want to do me The only thing I want to
say was that I want to make a comment about
that Duke lacrosse rape case. The rape charges have been
dropped and some more charges have been filed. But I
(05:19):
was just saying that everybody trying to act like these
people are so these guys and done must some athletes.
Now I'm gonna actually athlete myself. There there are none
bust some athletes, and they do me a favorite, Ted,
because of my hearing, if it would slow down just
a little, Okay, the last thing I heard you say was,
but these guys are nothing but athletes. And you said
you're you're an athlete yourself. Yes, I'm I'm an athlete myself.
(05:42):
And I can't see why just going these guys are
probably guilty just on assumption, I mean, excluding DNA, but
then you have to have DNA to to really convict someone.
But be what I'm trying to say is that these
guys are athletes, and they have they have two strippers
from a different national coming to a fraternity house or
lacrosse or or or lacrosse sports team. Uh how home,
(06:07):
you know, bunnets beat around there. And then these girls
are strippers. You know they're gonna make racial comics. You
know they're gonna try something like that. It's just you know,
but now they're like, these guys are holding now wait,
wait what what? I'm a little confused. Are you speaking
in defense of these guys? Are you criticizing I'm not.
I'm not quite getting where you're going. Here's what I
am doing is saying that I'm criticizing the press were
(06:30):
not really the press before. Everyone's trying to exonerate these
people just because the rate charges had been dropped. Not
a girl she has That's not just why because you
mentioned a d n A. They found d NA for
half of North Carolina, but none of it for these
three guys. True, So therefore so therefore therefore she had
her stories conflict U. She's changed, She's changed her three
(06:52):
or four times. Then never spoke to the lawyers or
the kids, and he only had his investigators speak to
the accuser in the past four weeks or so. Ninephong
is facing seriousness, Barbet George. It charges over the way
he handles. I'll tell you know what the best way
if you understand, let me go through what I've got
here on this, because I do think this is a
(07:13):
case uh uh ted where the nature of the evidence
is irrelevant and the seriousness of the charge is what
is is guiding every here. I you know I. I
don't know these three kids. I have read some stuff
that Read Selingman has has said in interviews, and it
sounds to me like this, this young man is pretty
(07:35):
well adjusted and well connected together despite all of this,
uh and their families seem like they're good decent people too.
You talk about a stripper from a different nationality came
over what you have to understand. You look at this
two ways, uh maybe they're looking at this with with
without color in mind. Maybe these guys didn't care, I
(07:57):
mean not racists. You know, who is it? As noticed
in the skin color here, and nobody ever mentions this.
Nobody ever mentions that this lady m hmm came to
the house in Derham wilfully and at a price she
(08:17):
determined to take off her clothes. She set the price.
She shows up to do a stripping routine. I mean,
if everybody should know that these athletes are who looking,
she should know it that she shows up had she
never considered the risks of this behavior. It's one thing
(08:38):
to strip on a pole in a bar with fifteen
thousand bouncers around you, but if you're gonna hire yourself out,
you have to know the risks involved. Maybe what they
had to do in North Carolina is make strippers who
visit private homes illegal um and and all of that
save the dancers from them selves. We need laws to
(09:01):
protect the strippers because the strippers aren't doing enough to
protect themselves. I've got I've got a story here. I'm
gonna take a break, I'm gonna come back, and I'm
gonna go through this. I've got a column actually by
William Anderson from the lou Rockwell Institute lou Rockwell dot com. Uh.
That is just informative and powerful as it can be. Uh.
(09:21):
And and it's and I don't know if you saw
the sixty minutes piece last night with these uh families,
but whatever you thought of the of the President Bush
appearance with Scott Pellaby, this peace on on the Duke
lacrosse case was the meat of the of the show. Okay,
Duke lacrosse case, Let's get in and get it and
(09:41):
get out. By William Anderson lou Rockwell dot com. Even
though the criminal case against the three Duke lacrosse players
hasn't yet been deep sixed, the lawsuits against Duke University
have begun. The family of Kyle Dowd, a lacrosse player
who has graduated Spring, filed against the university and a
(10:02):
faculty member, Kim Curtis, who we told you about this babe,
claiming that Curtis failed doubt and retaliation for his being
on the lacrosse team. Curtis, who was a visiting prof
in Duke's political science department, has a reputation for being
a leftist ideologue, was one of the signers of the
(10:22):
infamous social Disaster advertisement the Duke Chronicle that thanked the
protesters who acted in the aftermath of the charges levit
against the lacrosse players. Furthermore, Kim Curtis actively participated in
a number of rallies in which protesters held up signs
calling for the lacrosse players to be castrated, while other
signs declared get a conscience, not a lawyer, and others
(10:45):
just declared confess. Her postings on a community website left
no doubt that she believed her students either committed rape
or at the very least, we're covering for the alleged
rapists not again. A picture of what the Duke University
of the players experienced last spring as they walk through
a literal gauntlet on their way to class envisioned the
(11:07):
following students holding signs, big banners declaring cast rate, speakers
at regular rallies calling for their expulsion from scruel students
screaming slogans at them. The New Black Panthers and our
old buddy Malik Shabbaz came to Durham and said they
(11:27):
were going to go to the Duke University dorms where
lacrosse players lived in order to get confessions from them.
They also had a deal with The poster with the
pictures of the white lacrosse players calling for them to
please come forward and tell the police who allegedly raped
the accuser was distributed and posted Oliver Duke's campus, along
with a fact sheet that we know today had no
(11:49):
facts that were correct for the time being. People are
trying to make this a free speech issue. Hey, they
can put up what our banners and walk around campus
all they want, but the situation is much deeper than that.
Every year, college campuses all over the country host rallies
such as Take Back the Night, Marches Against Rape and
Stop the Hate and the like. Many of the topics
(12:11):
covered in these rallies are controversial, and clearly people are
not in agreement, but for the most part, they are
general in nature. What happens, however, when ideologies meet specific accusations.
To use the words of the Eight Duke signees, one
has a social disaster. A group called Life Stoppers when
its own advertisement of the Raleigh News and Observer last
summer to point out that the real social disaster is
(12:35):
the attempt a railroad innocent people into prison, and that
is where the real liability for Duke University begins. For
all the talk about free speech, Duke University has a
contractual obligation to its students, and that includes keeping them
from being physically and verbally harassed by both faculty and students.
(12:57):
Assume that the objects of this wrath are homosex huels,
and they are met with signs that mock them and
have annie gay slurs or call for their sexual organs
to be cut off. Furthermore, assumed that the protest is
not against homosexuality in general, but rather aimed specifically at
certain males on campus who are gay. The liability that
Duke would face in this example is the same liability
(13:19):
the university undoubtedly faces now. And I will say this again,
as I said earlier in the program, every college basketball
recruiter in the country should be showing the parents of
prospective Duke players the interview that aired last night on
sixty minutes. Look at these parents of these these kids
(13:42):
that they're pretty gifted, their smart athletes. You want them
to spend the next four years of their life at
Duke facing this kind of liberalism run a muck and
just in case, do you have a spare million hanging
around to spend on attorneys potentially the fact is that
(14:05):
Durham and Duke their cesspools. They've been for decades. Uh,
there's no tax base and Durham without that school. Now
this piece by lou Rockwell and will will link to
it at RUSSI lymba dot com. It's just just just
one guy's opinion, William Anderson's opinion, but it goes if
(14:26):
you read the whole thing, it methodically aligns out the
incredible liability the Duke University, Nifong and Durham have. And
this is written before anybody knew what was revealed on
sixty minutes last night, that these boys and their families
were had were threatened with their lives in the courtroom.
As one of the mothers said last night in sixty minutes,
(14:48):
every parent of a son in this country should be
terrified by this case, and especially uh ladies and gentlemen
if they are white. As I say, this incident occurred
off campus, not during standard school hours. It really wasn't
a Duke issue. The players just happen to attend school there.
(15:10):
And I don't know, do you think they call him
a high we're the Duke lacrosse team. We want you
to come over and strip for us. Crystal, Okay, what's
the price? And I pay the price? She shows up.
It is the school and the media and community that
has linked this in an incident of the university, and
why because Duke is internationally known primarily for basketball. The
(15:33):
media went nuts with this because it fulfills their template.
Look at all the rich ingredients we had here, race, sex, wealth, poverty, adolescents, privilege, alcohol,
a prestigious and famous university, athletics, criminal behavior, politics. The
only thing missing here, as far as the media was concerned,
was a murder scene. This wasn't about the nature of
(15:57):
the evidence. This is about the seriousness of the charge.
Of the nature the charge, because liberals, whenever something like
this is charged, automatically think it's true based on their
own rampant guilt. These uh, these guys lives have been ruined.
If they did it, they should go to jail. If
they didn't do it, they still have been jailed to
(16:17):
a certain degree. I hope they sue. I hope they
sue Knife Long, the investigators, the university, and in everybody
else in a civil case,
