Below are some excerpts from Monday's Rush Limbaugh show (6/18/18) aired on Denver Colorado 50,000 watt megastation, 850 KOA. KOA broadcasts University of Colorado Buffaloes sports as well as Colorado Rockies baseball and Denver Broncos football.
"This is your official radio station for the Colorado Rockies" and "850 KOA, home of the Buffs and Rush Limbaugh!" are the kind of announcements KOA uses to attract listeners and advertisers.
Many pro sports teams broadcast on Republican talk radio stations. The nearly 90 universities listed below broadcast sports on over 260 Limbaugh stations. They are appropriate targets for protesting this issue until they stop putting their logos on radio stations that encourage and excuse Trump's child abuse.
1000’s of national and local businesses like those listed below advertise on those stations.
They all need to be asked if they want to keep endorsing excuses for Donald Trump’s child abuse.
If the KKK bought those stations how many universities, professional sports teams, and businesses would continue to be associated with them just because it was convenient, they had been doing it for decades, or they were the loudest stations around?
Well, they might as well have been bought by the KKK. Those stations use public air waves and are licensed to operate in the public interest but they are being used to enable and excuse Trump's crimes.
KOA is a station I am familiar with from years ago but I could have picked a station in Florida, Wisconsin, or Oregon and done the same thing.
Limbaugh, or POS for short, spent nearly all 3 hours of his show making excuses for this child abuse, with plenty of praise for Trump and attacks on the Mueller investigators blended in.
I recorded it with Quicktime, free with Macs, and got those audio files transcribed for $5/hour at Sonix.ai. Thanks to artificial intelligence the transcription took minutes, not hours, and required little correction despite regular slurring and mumbling from POS. Transcriptions can be viewed, corrected if necessary while listening with their editor, and stored at Sonix for $15/month. Sonix offers a 30 min free trial. The editing program makes it very easy to list the national and local advertisers and associate them directly with what they are sponsoring — without listening. For more details see Artificial intelligence spells doom for RW radio.
I include a few excerpts from the Mandy Connell show, the local Republican talker on after him. Like hundreds of other local talkers wondering every day what the official Republican position is, she either listens to his show or gets the same talking points. He offers cleaned up transcripts of his shows so Republican talkers and politicians can all be on the same script but I don't know how quickly it's available for his wannabes like Connell.
In short, if not interested in excerpts of the transcript, he explains the kids should be taken from the adults because the adults:
- may not be the real parents
- may be gang members, terrorists, etc.
- are criminals breaking established law,
- are at least negligent because they exposed those kids to danger getting them to the border.
POS and then Connell explain that the reason for taking the children is to discourage further migration and that Democrats/Obama have been encouraging border 'invasions' because they see those people as future Democratic voters. This meme has been sold for nearly 2 decades to help push voter suppression legislation.
POS also explains that the outrage vs Trump is manufactured by Democrats and 'their' media, and that Obama did the same thing. He’s basically saying since Democrats don’t really care for those kids, who cares?
Those are a few of the rationalizations POS will help circulate through the Trump base to enable the GOP/Teabag Caucus to obstruct real immigration reform and force Republican Reps like GOP leaders Ryan and McConnell to cooperate with Trump's atrocities.
Immigration is one of the common topics on RW talk radio for nearly 2 decades, used to pass voter suppression legislation. There will be no sane reform on immigration as long as the right controls an unchallenged talk radio monopoly of 1500 talk radio stations.
Why Trump is in the White house
POS’s show is on about 600 radio stations. He will repeat the same lies, distortions, and exaggerations you see below for days and weeks, leading the way so that several hundred as well as the Trump administration and its media allies will at least feel that unchallenged buzz, if not know it by heart. When they repeat it in public they will know it has already been pounded into the earholes of tens of millions of Americans, with visuals from Fox, and an assist from the Kremlin.
That is why someone in the Trump team, or maybe in Russia, told Sam Nunberg to listen to 1000s of hours of talk radio. They wanted to piggyback 30 years of unchallenged talk radio repetition on issues like immigration.
Here is the true leader of the Republican Party the last 30 years:
These are reordered a bit and I only made a few corrections here and there. POS chewed this cud for about 3 hours and will probably continue with it until tens of millions of secondary and tertiary recipients absorb it — at work, shopping, at the bar, and so on. Many of the people involved in implementing this atrocity will hear this crap. My bold.
POS says:
It is an entirely manufactured crisis it's entirely manufactured this has been going on for years it happened during the Obama administration.
x
It's all about people attempting to invade our country not emigrate here.
x
It is the Democrat Party who is seeking to have children brought here on trains from Central America without their parents. To create just the kind of scenario we are finding ourselves in the middle of today.
x
Trump is standing up for America and fair deals for America. As such economic growth in the U.S. is leaving the world behind.
x
I'm going to demonstrate to you today that this is a manufactured crisis in the sense that nothing's new here. This policy has been in place for years and was widely practiced during the Obama administration. The only difference is the media didn't tell you about then. The Obama administration wanted it hidden, and so it was. But there's nothing new under Trump except an attempt to fix it. By holding people accountable to the law. the only way circumstances like this can happen is if people are allowed to violate immigration law. And not be punished. that's the only way this can happen.
x
Their focus is Donald Trump their focus is damaging Donald Trump, if they cared about these kids and their families being separated they would have done something about it.
x
Now they have the gall and the audacity to say that Donald Trump is mean spirited and extreme because he likes separating immigrant families and children from their parents. Not so. if anybody is going to fix it. Like everything else it's going gonna be Donald Trump but it's going to be on his terms and it's not going to be part of an immigration deal that allows mass amnesty by DACA kids and others for the sake of fixing this. It's a manufactured political issue designed to change the subject from all the robust goodness and decency that is springing up all over this country.
x
They want the United States to become a migrant camp. Those are future democrat voters dependent on government. They want the United States to be a refugee holding facility. They want to claim credit for being the only ones with compassion caring about the downtrodden when this is a scheme. It is a targeted plan that the Democrats are in on.
x
this is a last ditch effort to force Trump to sign comprehensive immigration reform granting amnesty not just to these families of refugees but to every illegal immigrant in the country.
x
Democrats don't care any more about them today than they did during the Obama administration. January 28 2016 Washington Post this is over two years ago Obama administration placed children with human traffickers report says.
x
The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the border since 2011 leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government approved caretakers.
x
This is pretend concern about illegal immigrant kids being separated from their parents. I'm telling you folks it is a manufactured crisis.
x
and threatening the GOP establishment
This is not about kids. It's not that they are just the latest fill in the blank objective and the Republicans better get in the game on this and not leave Trump isolated because Trump knows what's going on. Trump knows what the effort really is here.
x
He knows what this is about because we see it happening in Europe right now destroying original cultures of all of these European nations. He has the single administration figure standing athwart all of this saying stop.
x
(According to the) New York magazine (the) Obama administration handed child migrants over to human traffickers.
x
Mexican kids held for months away from their parents is nothing new folks nothing new at all.
x
the Trump administration is not changing the rules that pertain to separating an adult from the child. Those remain the same. Separation happens only if officials find that the adult is falsely claiming to be the child's parent or is a threat to the child or is put into criminal procedure.
x
The new trump policy is to prosecute these adults all of them who are breaking the law. The idea is to send a signal that we are serious about our laws and create a deterrent against re-entry. This is Trump being serious about enforcing immigration law folks.
x
So in other words folks the parents who decide at the border to ask for asylum in this fashion rather than going in the front door remember now these are people attempting to get into the country illegally.
x
if the parents who decide to ask for asylum in this fashion via illegal entry and then getting caught they're choosing they’re choosing separation they're choosing it.
x
Here's Mandy Connell on KOA parroting POS:
What has to happen is that all these news media reports have to start trickling down into Central America and mothers need to hear that if they come to the United States their kids are going to be ripped away from them. We need to dissuade people before they try to make that crossing.
x
And if people come here and instead of being immediately processed and turned around with their children to go back to their home country they decide to apply for asylum they need to be told very clearly in their language that they understand your children are going to be separated for you from you indefinitely. We don't know when you're getting them back. They need to make that choice.
She’s a POS too.
Back to POS:
So this is not a wanton planned effort to separate families for whatever reason a break to conjure up. It is the result of strict American law that's been on the books since 1997
x
the parents deciding to seek for asylum end up choosing the separation and yet look what's happening. If you pay attention to the news media you would think the United States is forcing separation on people.
x
This would not be an issue if they weren't here trying to get in illegally.
x
Everybody's accepting some vision that helpless needy poor kids fleeing war come to the United States wanting a better life.
x
this has been going on basically since the year 2000 1997 and only now is there a big complaint about it.
x
the people causing it are the people coming here folks.
x
You see how easy it is to get caught up in one of these manufactured political crises. And the Democrats in the media are expert at it. I don't care if it's the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act or if it is Donald Trump and Russian collusion or the Donald Trump travel ban or... you are never told the truth about it. It is politicized with one objective and that is to ruin Donald Trump and his presidency, reputation, image and all of that.
x
if you get thrown in jail for robbing the bank Is it the banks fault for catching you and enforcing the law or is it your fault because you tried and if you get thrown in jail and you're separated from your family because you get thrown in jail robbing the bank. Whose fault is that?
Here's Connell's variation on POS’s analogy:
At some point are we not holding the people responsible for dragging kids across the desert to break into the country responsible for their own actions? You know if if I decide to go into Target this afternoon and shove a bunch of stuff into my pants and try to walk out without paying. And the Q (her daughter) with me and they decide to arrest me for shoplifting is the Q supposed to go to jail with me? I certainly hope not. And if I didn't have Chuck to come pick up my daughter after I got arrested shoplifting then I would assume that Child Protective Services would step in. Why is this any different.? And if you're outraged about children being ripped away from their mothers after they break the law why aren't we upset about every woman who's in prison? An overwhelming majority of which are mothers. Why. Because they committed a crime.
Back to POS:
Let me tell you who's been busting up families. The Democrats.
x
Democrat party literally subsidized single motherhood in the black community. For decades it was called AFDC the Democrat Party promoted a welfare policy that gave single women additional money for every child they had. the father need not ever be around in many cases the father was not even know the father was not even identified because the Democrat Party assumed the role. Actually the Democrats made the government assume the role of father.
x
You could also say that Planned Parenthood is excelling at separating families couldn't you? You want to talk about separating families look no further than the abortion mills of Planned Parenthood.
x
On the Mueller investigation (he’s doing whole shows on it after any new development vs Trump): I cannot tell you how repulsive that is to me these charges are manufactured and made up politically, charges, political charges manufactured made up by Trump's enemies.
x
There was no collusion there was no obstruction.
More from Connell:
But if we had some measure of border security along the southern border guess what would not be happening right now. Children would not be separated from their families because they would not be trying to break into the country.
Universities for Trump
(list from republiconradio.org)
Again, if the stations were bought by the KKK, what excuse would these schools have to continue to endorse them? These stations may as well have been working for the KKK — for 3 decades. Why protest state capitols? They use radio stations endorsed by universities like these to yell over them.

Advertisers
The Sonix editor made it very easy to search for advertisers (looking for "dot" as in dot com), note them, and copy and paste them along with their web pages. Most of this can be done without listening.
Advertisers and advertising agencies need to know that they are enabling these Trump atrocities but I’m not listing them here to suggest readers contact them. I have not contacted them yet. I am listing them here to give an idea of how easy it is to do in your own community, city, and state.
How many of these national and local advertisers will answer yes when asked if they knew they were supporting Trump, his child abuse, POS’s attacks on Mueller, and regular global warming denial? How many will continue to advertise on Republican talk radio when they know how easy it now is to list their web sites and associate them with the hate and lies?
If those universities and advertisers begin looking for alternatives soon the November elections will look very different. And Trump’s stay in the White House will be a lot shorter.
