RUSH: I just watched the video of Betsy DeVos trying to go into a public school in Washington, DC, and she’s met by a handful, 10 or 12 left-wing reprobates, a white guy wearing Black Lives Matter sweatshirt. She was nearly violently restricted from going up the steps and into the school. And then she and her, it looked like a security guard — well, an assistant, she was hustled back to her vehicle, which was a Suburban, an SUV, and this mob followed her back. They get in the car peacefully but then this guy tried to obstruct the car leaving, and he was just shouting insanely, “Shame, shame, shame.”


I mean, folks, this is not time-honored and wonderful and great American dissent. It’s human debris who have had their minds polluted and poisoned by the American left from the education system, to media, to pop culture. They’re just sick. Here’s a great example. Do any of you people know who Trevor Noah is? Do you know who Trevor Noah is? Wendy, do you know who Trevor Noah is? Brian, do you know who Trevor Noah is? Well, do you know who Jon Stewart was? Wendy, do you know who Jon Stewart was? Gosh, she doesn’t know. This is cool.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, so I just watched the video of Betsy Divorce
trying to go into a public school in Washington, d C.
And she's met by a handful of your tenor twelve
left wing reprobates. The guy wearing a black white guy
or Black Lives Matter sweatshirt. She was nearly violently restricted

(00:24):
from going up the steps and into the school. And
then she and her looked like a security well and assistant.
They hustled back to her vehicle, which was a suburban,
and Suv and his mob followed her back. They got
in the car peacefully, but then this guy tried to
instruct the car leaving and he was just shouting insanely

(00:46):
no shame, no shame, or shame, shame, shame. I mean, folks,
we're dealing here with. This is not time honored and
wonderful and great American descent. This is human debris who

(01:11):
have had their minds polluted and poisoned by the American left,
from the education system to media to pop culture. They're
just they're just sick. I'll give you here's a here's
a great example. Any of you people know who Trevor
Noah is. You know who Trevor Noah is. When did

(01:34):
you know who Trevor Noah is? Brian, do you know
who Trevor Noah is? What you know who John Stewart was?
When did you know who John Stewart was? Thank God,
she doesn't know. This is cool. Well, he he hosted
something called The Daily Show, which was a comedy show

(01:56):
on an network called Comedy Central. It was actually drained
anger every night that the Left thought was money. Anyway,
Stewart left and they got this guy, Trevor Noah from
South Africa to come in here and and take over
the reins and host the program. And he's he's a
nice enough guy, but he'says ignorant as the sun is bright.

(02:19):
It's just it's it's actually kind of a shame because
the guy doesn't know. I guess it makes sense. If
you're ignorant, you wouldn't know how ignorant you are. By definition,
you wouldn't know what you don't know. Well, he's very
upset because he's supposed to be. He doesn't really know why.
He's very upset at Betsy Divorce has been named the

(02:43):
Secretary of Education. He doesn't know why, he doesn't know her.
All he knows is cliche. She's she comes from a
billionaire family, and that immediately disqualifies her. She's white, that
immediately disqualifies her. She's attractive, that really disqualifies her. I mean,
if you were to get the left hate attractive conservative white,
they just hate him. And she's blonde, so she's got

(03:05):
every ingredient they hate. One site and Trevor Noah, who
hosts The Daily Show, was really feeling bad about about
betsy divorce being confirmed. And here's what he said. America
seems to be going back to a place where your

(03:26):
wealth will determine how much knowledge you can attain. And
so I think it's a scary time, said Trevor Noah,
concerned citizen. If Betsy Divorce gets to do everything she
wants to, and I swear that he doesn't know the
first thing. He may think he knows school choices, but
he doesn't really know what it is. He just knows

(03:47):
he's supposed to oppose it. And he probably thinks school
choices rich people get to choose where they go to school,
and your kids, you know, get the toilet. Who knows
what they think it is, but they're dead wrong about it.
As the rest of this quote will demonstrate, he said,
if Betsy DeVos gets to do everything she wants to,
you will live in a world where even more people

(04:10):
who do not have the means will now no longer
have the opportunity to achieve the means. Now, the truth
is the first. Do you understand that you understand what
he's trying to say? That does? Does that make sense
to you? I have the added benefit of being able
to read it. Imagine just listening to that, you might

(04:30):
be scratching your head. Let me one more time. If
Betsy DeVos gets to do everything she wants to, you
will live in a world where even more people who
do not have the means will now no longer have
the opportunity to achieve the means. Well, in truth, Betsy
Divorce is working to do the exact opposite. Betsy Divorce,

(04:57):
like every Conservative, is working to improve the lot for everybody.
That's the point. Betsy Divorce is working to get more
poor children into the same good schools as rich kids
go to. That's her whole reason for existing in the

(05:18):
education world. She wants to expose greater education opportunities to
the poor, to everybody, and she has policies to do it.
It is the Democrat Party and their teachers unions who
are responsible for the existence of and the maintaining of

(05:40):
these decrepit, rat infested, downtrodden places that are called inner
city public schools. It's the Democrat Party that stands in
the way of people acquiring wealth. It is the Democrat
Party that seeks, in alliance with its unions to maintain

(06:01):
actual squalid conditions where they exist in the public school system.
It is Betsy Divorce who wants to change all of that.
Betsy Divorce wants policies that will help bring two millions
of others the opportunities she has had. That is what

(06:26):
we conservatives are all about, expanded, extended opportunity for everybody
to become the best they want to be. And Mr
Noah literally doesn't know what he's talking about. He thinks
he does, and he's saying exactly what he's supposed to

(06:49):
say as a good employee. Over at Comedy Central, we're
being guided by, and governed by, and limited by a
degree of ignorance that's hard to quantify because it's so

(07:12):
unbelievably widespread. Just sheer ignorance that is the result of prejudice, bigotry,
closed mindedness, a lack of curiosity to find out what
might be really going on anywhere. Instead, they descend in

(07:32):
the comfort of the cliches, within the cocoons they have built,
where they can feel unharmed.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
