Rush: You may have heard that the Big Ten conference announced some time ago they weren’t gonna play college football this year. You know why? Well, I don’t want to make anybody mad, but there was a lot of fear, lot of fear. The virus, how we gonna control it. And there was so much pressure.
There was pressure from the coronavirus task force, pressure from Dr. Fauci, pressure from Dr. Birx, pressure from everywhere. “Don’t do it. Don’t do it.” But not everybody decided not to do it. The National Football League decided to play. I mean, they never decided not to. The National Football League never wavered during this entire year. They were going to start their season. There were some adjustments when it was scheduled to start. There was no preseason this year, and there were a lot of adjustments made. There was no preseason travel, there were no joint practices, but the season started on time this past weekend.
So now here comes the Big Ten. Some other colleges are playing. LSU is gonna play, the SEC. So the Big Ten reversed itself. Big Ten says, “You know what? We’re gonna play.” They’re gonna start their season in mid-October, mid- to late October. And they’re gonna be play, they’re gonna play a full season, vie for the national championship, Big Ten, all that.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I mentioned earlier in the program that the one one
of the things I think is driving this campaign, and
it's invisible. I think there's a whole lot of people
fed up with the chickification of our culture. And it's
not anything to do with anti woman or anti feminism
(00:21):
or anti female. It has to do with the fact
that there is an assault on manhood. There's an assault
on masculinity. Masculinity and automatically is toxic. Masculinity is automatically barbaric.
Men in their natural state are just a bunch of
(00:42):
bullies and brutes who even mistreat their own children. And
this is something that has been creeping into our society
for years, for decades, ever since the modern era of
feminism in the late sixties early seventies got going and
rapped up to full speed. And the chickification of our
(01:04):
culture you find it everywhere. You find it in the
news business, especially uh not on camera but off and
not the writers, but the editors and the assignment editors,
the producers and so forth. And men men do whatever
(01:26):
is necessary to attract women to do the men. It's
not hard for women to wrap around a finger. I
think a lot of men are getting fed up with it.
A lot of people are fed up with it. Uh.
And again it's not an anti woman thing. It is
a it's a fear over over the fact that manhood
(01:50):
is being lost. Uh. Manhood, masculinity, the strong male influence
of a father on a family has has been denuded,
it has been criticized, it has uh. And so there's
less of it, and there are there's there's a story
(02:12):
about that, which is why I'm reviving this. There's a
story about this very thing today. I have been once
again one of the few consistently over these past two decades,
twenty years and more, talking about the dangers of the
chick ification of our culture, and not in again, not
(02:32):
with any animus toward women. It is there there. But
there has been an assault on men being men, men
being who they naturally are, and it's not good. We've
got evidence of it out there. Now, before I get
into that, here's a story that appears to have nothing
(02:55):
to do with it, but it has everything to do
with it. You may have heard at the Big Ten
Conference announced some time ago they weren't gonna play college
football this year. You know why. Well, I don't want
to make anybody mad, but um. There was a lot
(03:17):
of fear, a lot of fear virus. How are we
going to control it? H And there was so much pressure.
There was pressure from the Coronavirus task for a pressure
from Dr Fauci, pressure from Dr Burke's, pressure from everywhere,
don't do it, don't do it. But not everybody decided
(03:42):
not to do it. The National Football League decided to play.
I mean they never decided not to. I mean the
National Football League never wavered during this entire year. They
were going to start their season. There was some adjustments
when it was scheduled to start. There was no preseason
this year, and there was no There are a lot
(04:04):
of adjustments made. There was no preseason travel, there were
no joint practices. But the season started on time this
past weekend. So now here comes the Big Tents. Some
other colleges are playing l s U is gonna play,
Yes EC. So the Big Ten reversed itself. Big ten said,
you know what, we're gonna play. They're gonna start their
(04:24):
season in mid October, mid to late October, and they're
gonna play, and they're gonna play a full season. I
get to buy for the National Championship. Big Ten all that,
and look at this the USA today. Christine Brennan, female
(04:45):
sports writer, Big Ten's decision to play football signals darkest
day in conferences sports history. I have to tell you
the and and one of the reasons why the Big
ten reversed its because they saw that the NFL has
figured out how to do it. They saw that it
(05:05):
can be done. So there's a little me too. It
is um here, Hey, we want to get in on
this too. If we could play, we want to play.
They realized they jumped the gun. Their decision making was
a little flawed. So here comes Christine Brennan and a
whole lot of the sports media, which has also been
very chick ified. See, the left was happy. The left
(05:28):
was happy that they had scared people enough to cancel
college football. They wanted to get rid of the pageantry.
They wanted to get rid of the American flags on parade.
They wanted to get rid of the national anthem. They
wanted to get rid of all of the celebrations of
American traditionalism and institutionalism that was part of college football.
They wanted to get rid of it. And they were
(05:48):
ecstatic when the Big Ten said they weren't playing if
you look. If you look at the state where the
where the college conferences have decided to not play and play,
they're blue and red Democrats states where the conference headquarters
(06:11):
are decided not to play. Red states were playing. And
they were so happy. The left was so happy they
had scared people enough to cancel college football. Now now
(06:31):
the sports writers, including a bunch of women, are melting
down over the Big Ten's reversal. They give me a
pool quote here. While much of the blame for the
awful about face goes to the university presidents who chose
money and football over insanity and caution, the new Big
(06:53):
Ten commissioner Kevin Warren also contributed greatly to this pr nightmare.
This is a man nearly in way over his head. See.
Oh yeah, what a brute, this guy. All he cares
about his money and football. And what the hell else
is the Big Ten about. It's always about money in football.
(07:18):
Everything is about money, the biggest secret in the world, apparently,
this poor guy, writes Christine Brennan's poor guy was out
maneuvered by a few loud mouth coaches. For Heaven's sake,
No matter how he explains that it's clear that he
in the league flip flopped so that Ohio State can
(07:39):
try to win a national title and a Big ten
can still make lots of money off the backs of
eighteen to twenty two year olds in the middle of
a pandemic. So you see, college football is nothing but
exploit That's right, nothing but a bunch of young kids
being exploit No, do you realize these kids that we're
(08:01):
not going to play college football this year? Do you
realize what the impairment on their futures was gonna be
for many of these people. You can say sadly or not,
but it is what it is. For many of these people.
Football is a way out. Football is away up. Football
is like any other number of sports. Football is a
(08:23):
ticket to success and prosperity. And they were just going
to take this year away from them, have it taken
away from him. It was going to have severe limitations
on their potential and their future. But now we find
out that all of this is just not about any
(08:44):
of that. It's about exploiting young eighteen to twenty two
year olds. So, as she writes here, as we move
into October and November, into what the experts say will
be our worst days, as COVID combines with the flu.
The stops and starts of the conferences that are trying
to play now tell us there are likely to be
(09:05):
postponements and perhaps cancelations of Big Ten games. So you yeah,
It's always amazed me that so many people in sports
writing don't like sports. It's always men and women. I
know that's not a a gender thing. It just amazes
(09:26):
me how many of the people actually cover sports don't
like it, find things wrong with it. Now to the story.
It is my Alex Perez. He's a Cuban American writer
for Miami. The story appears in the Daily Caller and
the headline of the story the multicultural male coalition that
(09:49):
could give Trump for more years. Wait a minute, what
the multicultural male coalition that could give Trump four more years?
Let me share with you how his peace opens here
and and what this is about the disappearing masculinity in
(10:14):
American culture that Donald Trump reminds everybody of positively that
we miss it, that it has a place. Mr Perez writes,
a year after the election, I overheard my first conversation
in which two young men of color discussed the political
(10:37):
issues of the day. I don't remember what they were
going on about, But the fact that they were going
on about politics with such fervor was what struck me immediately.
As young men discussing politics, why that was a rarity
in my working class Miami neighborhood, where typically it was
(10:59):
older guys who engaged in these sometimes heated discussions. Sitting
across from these two guys at Starbucks, I noted their
interaction as an entertaining anomaly, and I chalked it up
to the current hyper politicized cultural moment in which anyone
at any time might surprise you with their clearly newfound
(11:20):
interest in politics. Which is to say that I expected
to encounter no more than a handful of these political
squabbles between young men of color in the ensuing years
of the Trump era, as the possibility of a broad
political realignment driven by this traditionally disinterested demographic went against
all conventional wisdom. Meeting young men of color talking about
(11:44):
politics never gonna happen. Not enough, I'm gonna engage in
it to make a difference. Far fetched? Boy was I wrong,
he writes. In the months and years to follow, all
were Miami, in bars, coffee shops, at the gym, I
(12:05):
would overhear and was sometimes pulled into these rudimentary political
conversations between young men of color. And what was immediately
obvious was that a majority, if not all, of these
young men were brought into their nascent political awareness by
issues relating to their masculinity and manhood. An arc type emerged.
(12:30):
These were young men who never thought about politics until
politics knocked on their door and made them aware of
its existence, as in Hello Donald Trump. Like so many,
personal grievance is what drove them into the political arena
and what was driving their politics the gist of their beef.
(12:55):
When the hell did it stop being okay to be
a regular dude? When did it stop being okay to
be a guy? When did be being a guy all
of a sudden think I'm a negative? When it? When?
When did it made it a target? Now let me
(13:16):
give you some pull quotes. It's a long story. I
have to touch a long story. We'll link to it
at rush lamba dot com. But what what Mr Alex
Perez is saying here There are a lot of young
Hispanic and Black men who are sick of not being
allowed to be masculine, and they are going to vote
(13:37):
for Trump, and nobody knows they are out there. And
this is folks. This is one of the reasons why
I love that Donald Trump celebrates our heroes. Donald Trump
celebrates American greatness. Donald Trump promises and ongoing American greatness,
(14:01):
a revival of it, and a continuation of it. Donald
Trump is fearless in talking about his love and respect
for everything to do with this country. He will not
concede a single point to the people that hate it,
not a single point. He stands up for it, He
defends it, He loves America, is proud of it, and
(14:26):
we are blessed to have him in the position he
is in because without him, can you name somebody else
who would be defending the country you love and you
believe is great and you believe deserves to be dependent.
Can you think of anybody who would step into his
into his role? I mean you might be able to,
(14:46):
but you'd have to think about it for a while.
I love when Trump defended that Army ranger he gave
a Medal of Freedom to This week, UH freed seventy
five hostages in a rock the helicopter heroes who saved
two hundred and forty six people to ring a fire.
Donald Trump celebrates the heroes. He tells everybody who the
(15:08):
heroes are. He credits this country for creating them, for
celebrating them. Try this pull quote from Alex Perez's story.
All this is to say that the Democrat Party is
now the party of women and those who identify with
(15:28):
the overly feminine sensibility. Not that there's anything wrong with it,
it's just the way it is. The Democrat Party is
now the party of women. And you hear them tell
of the females of white, white suburban women, this white
suburban women, that we've got to make sure we don't
make a man. We're gonna go out and find a
way to relate to them. We're gonna and whatever they're
(15:49):
never wrong, but never whatever they believe. We got to
find a way to convince these women that were on
their side. We don't dare tell them they're ever wrong
about anything. I'm talking about politics here. There's nothing wrong
with this being your cup of tea, of course, but
Democrats shouldn't be surprised when young men of all stripes
(16:13):
are turned off by a party that is completely devoid
of any masculine energy. And let me tell you Mr.
Perez is so on the money here. You take a
look at the big names in the Democrat Party. You
(16:39):
don't love. The sentence finishes itself another Pool quote here.
I suspect this trend has been obvious for some time
now to anybody who lives in an urban center. But
recently Charles Blow the New York Times was caught off
guard by the new reality and tweeted today my friends
in Atlanta who are black saw a Facebook message from
(17:00):
their old barber who is black, imploring them to vote
for Trump. Don't think that Trump's message doesn't resonate with
a certain sector of black men. Also, barbers have a
lot of sway in the black community. How blows alarm
comes to the realization that young multicultural males treasure and
(17:23):
value masculinity, and that's how they see Trump. This is
the final um little observation here from the column by
Alex Perez and a Daily caller about the possibility of
a new masculinity benefiting Trump says, it's an open question
as to whether young men of color will actually turn
out for Trump. But if the Republican Convention was any
(17:45):
indication the Republican Party is making a play for them.
Much has been said of the conventions America is great message,
but what was played up almost as much, whether intentionally
or not, was the power, were and virtue of traditional masculinity.
There were Senator ten Scott's speech, in which he traced
(18:08):
his family's rise from slavery to the highest reaches of
American power, delivered in the oratory style of a man
who had never given up, whose familial legacy of overcoming
nearly insurmountable odds would make the thought of accepting his
plight inconceivable. The speech spoke to all Americans, of course,
(18:28):
but it can't go unnoticed that it was delivered by
a man of color who had risen to the top
in large part due to classic masculine virtues stoicism and
stick tuitiveness. Those are very powerful virtues. Then there was
(18:52):
the Cuban American old timer, Maximal Alvarez, self made businessman
and liked him Scott, the epitome of the American dream.
He spoke with the masculine ferocity and power of Vince Lombardy.
The greatest example of masculine strength at the Republican Convention
(19:14):
occurred when Madison Cawthorne, a disabled young man running for
North Carolina's eleventh congressional district, stood up from his wheelchair
after delivering a barn burner of a speech. It was
an incredibly moving moment, made all the more so by
(19:35):
the fact that he was flanked by a couple of
friends who assisted him as he stood. But then they vamosed.
They got out of the way. Once he made it up,
once he succeeded in his objective, he engaged in a
prime example of masculine strength as well as brotherly kinship.
(20:02):
He accepted help. Masculinity doesn't mean that you're all in
it all by yourself and to hell with anybody else.
So these three speeches, too, delivered by men of color,
made a case for the nobility of traditional masculinity. Says
I have no doubt that these three speeches spoke to
young men of color in a way they could understand.
(20:27):
You are an American man, stand up to what needs
to be done, don't cower. Mr Alvarez says, I I
can't imagine a better message not only for meta color,
but all men, a message that might drive them to
vote in record numbers in November. He's guessing he's not
guaranteeing anything,
I mentioned earlier in the program that the one one
of the things I think is driving this campaign, and
it's invisible. I think there's a whole lot of people
fed up with the chickification of our culture. And it's
not anything to do with anti woman or anti feminism
(00:21):
or anti female. It has to do with the fact
that there is an assault on manhood. There's an assault
on masculinity. Masculinity and automatically is toxic. Masculinity is automatically barbaric.
Men in their natural state are just a bunch of
(00:42):
bullies and brutes who even mistreat their own children. And
this is something that has been creeping into our society
for years, for decades, ever since the modern era of
feminism in the late sixties early seventies got going and
rapped up to full speed. And the chickification of our
(01:04):
culture you find it everywhere. You find it in the
news business, especially uh not on camera but off and
not the writers, but the editors and the assignment editors,
the producers and so forth. And men men do whatever
(01:26):
is necessary to attract women to do the men. It's
not hard for women to wrap around a finger. I
think a lot of men are getting fed up with it.
A lot of people are fed up with it. Uh.
And again it's not an anti woman thing. It is
a it's a fear over over the fact that manhood
(01:50):
is being lost. Uh. Manhood, masculinity, the strong male influence
of a father on a family has has been denuded,
it has been criticized, it has uh. And so there's
less of it, and there are there's there's a story
(02:12):

celebrating them. Try this pull quote from Alex Perez's story.
All this is to say that the Democrat Party is
now the party of women and those who identify with
(15:28):
the overly feminine sensibility. Not that there's anything wrong with it,
it's just the way it is. The Democrat Party is
now the party of women. And you hear them tell
of the females of white, white suburban women, this white
suburban women, that we've got to make sure we don't
make a man. We're gonna go out and find a
way to relate to them. We're gonna and whatever they're
(15:49):
never wrong, but never whatever they believe. We got to
find a way to convince these women that were on
their side. We don't dare tell them they're ever wrong
about anything. I'm talking about politics here. There's nothing wrong
with this being your cup of tea, of course, but
Democrats shouldn't be surprised when young men of all stripes
(16:13):
are turned off by a party that is completely devoid
of any masculine energy. And let me tell you Mr.
Perez is so on the money here. You take a
look at the big names in the Democrat Party. You
(16:39):
don't love. The sentence finishes itself another Pool quote here.
I suspect this trend has been obvious for some time
now to anybody who lives in an urban center. But
recently Charles Blow the New York Times was caught off
guard by the new reality and tweeted today my friends
in Atlanta who are black saw a Facebook message from
(17:00):
their old barber who is black, imploring them to vote
for Trump. Don't think that Trump's message doesn't resonate with
a certain sector of black men. Also, barbers have a
lot of sway in the black community. How blows alarm
comes to the realization that young multicultural males treasure and
(17:23):
value masculinity, and that's how they see Trump. This is
the final um little observation here from the column by
Alex Perez and a Daily caller about the possibility of
a new masculinity benefiting Trump says, it's an open question
as to whether young men of color will actually turn
out for Trump. But if the Republican Convention was any
(17:45):
indication the Republican Party is making a play for them.
Much has been said of the conventions America is great message,
but what was played up almost as much, whether intentionally
or not, was the power, were and virtue of traditional masculinity.
There were Senator ten Scott's speech, in which he traced
(18:08):
his family's rise from slavery to the highest reaches of
American power, delivered in the oratory style of a man
who had never given up, whose familial legacy of overcoming
nearly insurmountable odds would make the thought of accepting his
plight inconceivable. The speech spoke to all Americans, of course,
(18:28):
but it can't go unnoticed that it was delivered by
a man of color who had risen to the top
in large part due to classic masculine virtues stoicism and
stick tuitiveness. Those are very powerful virtues. Then there was
(18:52):
the Cuban American old timer, Maximal Alvarez, self made businessman
and liked him Scott, the epitome of the American dream.
He spoke with the masculine ferocity and power of Vince Lombardy.
The greatest example of masculine strength at the Republican Convention
(19:14):
occurred when Madison Cawthorne, a disabled young man running for
North Carolina's eleventh congressional district, stood up from his wheelchair
after delivering a barn burner of a speech. It was
an incredibly moving moment, made all the more so by
(19:35):
the fact that he was flanked by a couple of
friends who assisted him as he stood. But then they vamosed.
They got out of the way. Once he made it up,
once he succeeded in his objective, he engaged in a
prime example of masculine strength as well as brotherly kinship.
(20:02):
He accepted help. Masculinity doesn't mean that you're all in
it all by yourself and to hell with anybody else.
So these three speeches, too, delivered by men of color,
made a case for the nobility of traditional masculinity. Says
I have no doubt that these three speeches spoke to
young men of color in a way they could understand.
(20:27):
You are an American man, stand up to what needs
to be done, don't cower. Mr Alvarez says, I I
can't imagine a better message not only for meta color,
but all men, a message that might drive them to
vote in record numbers in November. He's guessing he's not
guaranteeing anything,
