Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Hey, Hey, greetings,
music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists, all across the fruited plane.
It is a time again to honor our favorite anchorman,
America's anchorman, remembering Rush on the Rush Limbaugh Program. I
am Jason Infrastructure, Lewis. You know, I'm talking to my

(00:21):
good buddy from high school last night and I said, hey, Infrastructure,
And then I'm watching The Masters. Did you see where
infrastructure won? The Masters? And my long lost relative Infrastructure
called me the other day and just said, you gotta
watch this Yellowstone series. It's just I'm telling the infrastructure
is everywhere and whining the hell not. It's anything you
want it to be. If you are a Democrat, it's daycare,

(00:43):
it's mass transit, it's childcare, you name it. Just ask
Kirsten gillibrand just ask the Energy secretary. We're gonna talk
about this because the gas lighting now is moving towards
fiscal policy, my friends, and the fiscal policy ruse is first,
it's a stimulus and we have now we have now

(01:03):
spent two to three times more on COVID stimulus bills
five point seven trillion dollars worth more than the entire
federal budget when I was in Congress. We've spent more
on those than any other country. Now we're moving on
to infrastructure, which means anything except infrastructure. It means daycare,
but it doesn't mean the Keystone pipeline or the Enbridge

(01:23):
pipeline here in Minnesota, doesn't mean that doesn't mean highways,
means man's transit. It means all of the things that
Democrats want it to mean. These people will lie about anything,
And in Minneapolis today the governor, the governor is at
it again. The Democrats are at it again. BLM is
at it again. You know, it's almost impossible to tell

(01:48):
listeners of EIB what it's like to live in a
place like Minneapolis St. Paul. And thus, of course you're
living in Seattle or Portland or New York, you know
exactly what it's like. There is no well, I don't
want to be too hyperbolic about this. There is an
assault on law and order while the law abiding are

(02:10):
locked down. It is the most perverse scenario you could
possibly imagine in this country. These Marxists, and let's be honest,
BLM is a Marxist group. It wasn't that many years ago,
I think twenty fourteen when they were at the State
Fair in Saint Paul saying, you know, pigs in a blanket,
frim like bacon. They were after the police then, long

(02:31):
before George Floyd. So now we're in the midst of
a very very tense trial in Minneapolis where the prosecution
is saying the knee restraint by the police officer killed
George Floyd, and the defense, who's yet to call their witnesses,
is saying, no, no, no, no, here's a guy who
was on drugs, he had high blood pressure, had heart problems,
and a neck restraint, for instance, on a healthy person

(02:55):
wouldn't have been fatal. We'll see how that plays out.
But that is the point of the criminal justice system
to wait and see how it plays out. There has
been There is no wheels of justice moving slowly in Minneapolis, St. Paul,
In Portland and Seattle, it is mob rule. The wheels
of justice were actually moving quite rapidly. The Hennepin County

(03:17):
Attorney filed the charges the quickest in history after the
George Floyd event. Quickest ever. The Triney General, Keith Ellison,
the predecessor to ilan Omar is now taken over. The prosecution,
and Al Sharpton and the Floyd family and everybody under
the sun is warning the judge and the jury in

(03:38):
so many public statements, you better get a conviction. You
know what's going to happen if you don't. The same
thing that happened last night in Brooklyn Center. Brooklyn Center
is the town just adjacent to Minneapolis, about ten miles
from where the tragedy of George Floyd occurred, and last
night there was a riot. Last night. A police officer

(03:58):
in Brooklyn Center had stopped a car. I guess it
was yesterday afternoon. The driver had an outstanding warrant, apparently
a suspected gang member, although we'll see how it plays out,
and they had an outstanding warrant. They tried to arrest him,
but the driver resisted, apparently and drove away. He re

(04:19):
entered the vehicle and drove away, prompting the officer to
fire at the vehicle, striking the driver, killing the driver.
What ensued in Brooklyn Center a suburb of Saint not
even a suburb, it's really part of the Minneapolis area.
What happened was not a peaceful gathering. What happened was
not a curfew. What happened was not a protest. It

(04:41):
was a riot. The Walmart store was looted. Looters spilled
over into North and South Minneapolis. The police headquarters in
the neighboring city of Brooklyn Park was unquote shot up
around eight pm. Multiple rounds fired through the building's glass.
According to the AP report, protester rioters, looters were jumping

(05:02):
on police cars, confronting officers, rocks and objects thrown, twenty businesses.
Here we go again. Remember the riots of twenty twenty
twenty five people lost their lives in Toto. Nationwide, seven
hundred and fifty law enforcement officers were injured, citizens dragged
from their cars. We're talking about in Minneapolis alone, in
the Twin cities, five hundred million dollars worth of damage

(05:23):
to fifteen hundred buildings. They turned the auto zone into
a war zone, and it happened throughout the country. What
happened then At the time, my Senate opponent Tina Smith
encouraged the rioting by saying, we've got to examine the
dangerous role police play. We need more righteous protests. What
happened last night the most How should I put this diplomatically?

(05:48):
I served with this guy in Congress when I was
in one hundred and fifteenth. Tim Walls, now the governor
of Minnesota, was there as well. Tim's a charlatan. Tim
pretends to be the everyman, but he refers to rural
Minnesota's rocks and cow's people. After the tense situation of
the trial that's ongoing, what does Governor Tim Walls tweet

(06:12):
in the wake this morning, in the wake of the
riots last night, his wife, I shouldn't say not his wife,
but but the governor tweeted Gwenn and I are praying
for the victim's family as our state mourns. Another life
of a black man taken by law enforcement quote unquote, Well,

(06:34):
that's encouraging if you're a cop, right, another life taken
by a black man, or I should say, another life
of a black man taken by law enforcement. That is
about as irresponsible as you can get. Why don't you,
governor wait and see what the facts on the ground
are before you start fueling the flames. These people will

(06:57):
do anything to intimidate the other side. Now they're trying
to intimidate the Supreme Court. We'll get to that a
little later in the program. Indivisible groups started this intimidation
tactic back in twenty sixteen and seventeen. Now it's now
it's BLM And don't you think Rush wasn't all over?
This from the New York Post, Occupy Wall Street's finance

(07:24):
committee has nearly five hundred thousand dollars in the bank.
Donations continue to pour in, but its reluctance to share
the wealth with other protesters is freeing tempers. Yes, my friends,
they've got a stash. They got five hundred grand, but
they're not redistributing the money to all the protesters. That's right.

(07:44):
The top one percent of the protesters have the money.
And you know what they did with it. They put
it in a bank. They put it in a bank.
Banks are what they are protesting. In fact, I'll bet
it's even collecting interest in the bank. So what a

(08:06):
half million dollars in the bank. Isn't Occupy Wall Street
part of the one percent? Now? Yeah? Some drummers, incensed
that they got no money to replace or safeguard their
drums after a midnight vandal destroyed the drums on Wednesday,
are threatening to splitter. Are these people playing it Todd
Rundgren song, I don't want to work. I just want

(08:29):
to bang on the drums all day. That used to
be a theme soft for the Green Pay Packers a
Green Bay Packers score touch down two or three years ago.
And that's what I don't want to work. Who want
to bang on the drum all day? Well, I know
probably residents went down there and vandalized the drunk and
there playing the drums all nineteen people awake. So one
of the Occupy Wall streeters said, bleep finance. I hope

(08:52):
Mayor Bloomberg gets an injunction demands to see the movements books.
We need to know how much money we really have
and where it's going instead of frustrated Brian Smith forty five,
who joined Occupy Wall Street in Lower Manhattan nearly three
weeks ago from Los Angeles, where he works in TV productions.
So it's just it's hilarious the things they're protesting are
now happening within their own group. They got five hundred

(09:14):
grand and it's not being distributed, it's not being divvied
up equally among all the protesters. The organizers have put
it in the bank. This is the most fun and
most telling article from over the weekend on this children's
crusade known as Occupy Wall Street. They're putting their money
in an evil bank, probably collecting interest, and with more

(09:38):
than a half million dollars in the bank, aren't they
now part of the evil one percent? Yeah? Way tol
They have to pay taxes on this. I'd like to
see them open their books too, you know, along with
their protesters who are unhappy, like, who is going to
pay the irs the taxes on these five hundred thousand

(09:59):
dollars donations? And note, ladies and gentlemen, how these people
can afford to buy their own underwear. Yeah, they'd rather
beg on the street for new underwear than get a job.
But they've got five hundred grand. They could go out
and buy their own sleeping bags. Now they wouldn't have
to make them. I don't know how they know. You

(10:20):
wouldn't necessarily have to file as a corporation. You could
file as a nonprofit. You could file just as an individual.
It might have been one guy would down and open
up an account, or they could have a tax id
as a They could go subs, they could go a
sea corps, they could go nonprofit. We don't know how
they've organized themselves, but i'll lay you ten to one
they've organized themselves in such a way as to have

(10:42):
to pay as little in taxes as possible. You want
to bet on that, You want to bet these people
are not lining up and signing up for the thirty
five percent bracket. No, they are going to be part
of the same crowd and not paying their fair share.
But what they did, they had the five hundred grand.
They have splurged. The story in The New York Post
points out that they splurge. They bought a flat screen

(11:05):
TV and popcorn for their pajama party movie nights. They
didn't knit their own flat screen TV. They bought it
from a corporation. They bought it from a store which
sells the TV. Store bought it from the corporation and
makes the TV. And now they're going to show movies

(11:27):
from corporations on the flat screen TV that was made
by corporation and sold by another corporation. Maybe they're just
going to play Michael Moore anti capitalism documentaries or something.
But the funny thing is here they're squabbling. Now they're
squabbling over money that was given to them. There's vandalism

(11:47):
taking place. Their drums have been destroyed, and of course
they're whining and crying and they want everybody else to
do something for them. Are squabbling over money if it
was given to them. Imagine how angry they would be
if they had worked for this money. Well, Rush, we

(12:09):
know what they would do. Well, not if they had
worked for the money, but we know what the BLM
co founders doing this very moment, buying up real estate
in Malibu and perhaps the Bahamas to hear about that
Black Lives Matter co founder is buying up million dollar homes.
That's what those finances do when they're not vetted. Remembering
Rush here on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network. We are

(12:32):
back on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network with the talk
show host Guide Today formerly known as Congressman Jason Lewis.
Glad to have you on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network
once again. One eight hundred two two to eight eight two.
We'll try to squeeze in a call or two as
we move on. Busy newsday with the riots rearing their
ugly head in Minneapolis and Saint Paul after a suspected

(12:53):
gang member was shot. We'll see how the facts play out. Unfortunately,
politicians in Minnesota of the Democrat ilk do not want
to wait for the facts. Has the governor remember this
is the same governor in Minnesota that exported riots across
the country. When the governor of Minnesota decided, in his
words quote not to engage the riots of twenty twenty,

(13:14):
that meant letting the streets burn, letting the police third
precinct be taken over by looters and rioters and criminals,
letting literally five hundred million dollars and fifteen hundred buildings
burn and be looted. When that governor, backed by Amy Klovitch,
are backed by Tinas Smith, backed by Illan Omar, backed
by Angie Craig, Dean Phillips, Keith Ellison, every Democrat in

(13:37):
this state said go ahead and riot. When they did that,
it was coming to a town near you. That's what
Minnesota was known for in twenty not the land of
ten thousand Lakes, the land of ten thousand riots. And
they're back at it again, and the rush to judgment
is there. If we had a media that gave a
damn about the truth and was not gas lighting in

(13:58):
favor of Democrats, we would stop this now. We would
have peace returned. We wouldn't be doubling up on masks
and shutting down kids in the closet to the detriment
of their mental health while people loot. This has gotten
so out of hand. It wasn't that long ago when
the fauci esque health authorities we're talking about, well, we

(14:20):
need lockdowns except for rioters. Remember that public health researchers
from the University of Washington back in twenty twenty issued
a letter thirteen thirteen hundred signatures from public health experts, epidemiologists. Well,
this is why they call it practicing medicine, folks, Witnessing

(14:40):
the continuing demonstrations to ongoing, pervasive and lethal institutional racism
was justifiable to basically break the lockdown. Now it's Georgia.
Now it is Georgia, and the lies continue, the gas
lighting continues. And here's what Rush had to say about that.

(15:02):
In voter ID Barrock, who's saying, Oh, the President of
the United States, in another sound bite culled from the
Owl Sharpton Show, admitted that voter ID laws do not
stop black people from voting. Now, that just undercuts one

(15:23):
of the primary premises of the Democrat party. Oh no,
we can't have voter ID laws. When that's racist, that's
stacking her decks against black people. You get at voter
ID laws. Black people are not going to get voter
r ds because they know that they're just going to
be identified to the state. Can hassle them. You can't
do that. That's that's discrimination or whatever else they say
it is. Obama goes on the radiouna nah nah, voter

(15:45):
I d not that big a deal. Here's what he said.
Keep in mind that most of these laws are not
preventing the overwhelming majority of folks who don't vote from voting.
Most people do have an ID, most people do have
a driver's license, Most people can get to the police.
The bottom line is, if less than half out folks vote,
these laws aren't preventing the other half from not voting. Wait,

(16:07):
just admitting you realize people at the upper levels of
the Democrat Party did w blabbermouth schultze is of the
world hear this and scratch their heit, say what is
he doing to us? Their whole premise in opposing voter
ID laws is that it will prevent minorities from voting.

(16:32):
The logic is absurd there isn't any logic to it,
but that doesn't matter. That's what they claim. You have
to have an ID for anything else. The idea that
you have to show one to vote, it's just absurd.
And the logic has always been this intimidates African Americans
because of our heritage, because of the history we blacks

(16:53):
have been treated in this country. Demanding that they show
an idh nonstarter. It will arm turnout. And here's Obama said, no, won't.
I'm not sure I understand what he's doing here. Look,
the real reason that Democrats don't want voter ID law
so they can cheat. I mean, it's no more complicated

(17:15):
than he's right. Everybody has an ID anyway. Most people
have a driver's license, Most people have some kind of
an idea cash check, use a credit card, what have you.
He says, this is not stopping our people from voting.
So he's trying to get voter He doesn't want him
relying on excuses. He's trying to gin up voter turnout here,
and he says, don't fall back on his voter ideas

(17:36):
his excuse. It's not a reason to keep you from voting,
but it is very limiting if your objective is voter fraud?
Did you know it? In this last SoundBite I played
of Barak who's saying, oh, when he's talking to Sharpton,
he says not, keep in mind, and most of these
laws are not preventing the overwhelming majority of folks who

(17:59):
don't vote from voting. The voter ID law is not
why they aren't voting. Do you realize what a huge
rug he's just pulled out from under the Democrat part Now?
I know it's not going to have any lifespan. Nobody's
going to react to. The Democrats are not going to
change anither. But for people who pay attention, the President
has just undermined a very serious Democrat party platform plank

(18:27):
anti voter ID. He's just said it doesn't matter. You know,
if it doesn't matter, as Rush correctly just put it,
then why did Apple, Delta, Coca Cola, Major League Baseball,
and every other CEO of every other fortune five hundred
company in America the corporate state? Why are they boycotting Georgia?

(18:51):
Joe Biden wasn't engaged in misinformation has incoherent as the
president sadly might be. He lied the talking points that
Kamala gave Joe. No water being provided for voters in
line under the Georgia law, the poles closing at five pm.
It's Jim Eagle or Jim Crow or whatever. We're total fabrications,

(19:12):
total lies. And yet Corporate America got right in line,
just the way that so many businesses are affiliated with
the Minnesota Business Partnership here in Minnesota. Back BLM. Corporate
America has the spine of a jellyfish. It's high time
Republicans just stop stop placating these people. They've already found

(19:35):
a party to carry their water, and it's the Democrats
Socialist Party, and let them wallow in it. I am
Jason Lewis. We are remembering Rush on the Excellence in
Broadcasting Network. Always a pleasure to be here. We've got
much more coming up as we remember America's real anchorman
on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network as always great to

(19:56):
be back behind the golden eib MIC on the RuSHA
Umball Program. I am Jason Lewis, the former member of Congress,
but I wanted a promotion, so I'm now back in
guiding you through another rushallan Ball program. You know this
whole thing in the twin cities and throughout the country
is orwelling in the sense that it's designed to intimidate.
Now in the Minneapolis and Portland and Seattle and across

(20:18):
the country, they're trying to intimidate cops, and that is
the goal. But it's not going to stop there. The
reaction to January six was trying to intimidate Trump supporters
or anybody that Democrats and the media didn't like. If
you'd compare what happened on January six to the riots
of twenty twenty, there simply is no comparison. Many more

(20:41):
federal buildings and were destroyed in the riots of last
summer than on January six. And yet the reaction using
the intelligence agencies, using the d J, using everything. But
they want to investigate Antifa or BLM for their connections,
at least not that we know of. So the point
is there is there is a move in this country

(21:02):
towards mob rule. We allow the lawless to roam roam
the streets while we lock down the law abiding. And
nothing in my lifetime, nothing in my lifetime, has come
close to aiding and abetting the power of the state
of government. Then the so called coronavirus COVID, you know,

(21:27):
the one that was hatched from a Wuhan lab, that one.
We don't want to say that because there's just too
many of these big fortune five hundred companies that have
to do business with China. Major League Baseball does the
business of the NBA, they can't. We don't want to
talk about that. So what we do is we lock
people down and we leave China off the hook where

(21:48):
the Olympics will no doubtedly be held with the help
of American America's corporate titans who are protesting Georgia and
boycotting Georgia. The perversity of this is very, very, very scary,
but it's been such a gift horse to Democrats. They've
been able to change election law, They've been able to
lock down their enemies. The Keith Ellison here in Minnesota

(22:10):
find a rodeo while the riots were going on for
violating COVID restrictions. Doctor Fauci's talking about booster shots and
double mask wearing, as though that's going to do a
damn thing the ladder. Anyway, this is the health of
the state used to be. The war is the health
of the state. The war on the virus is now
the health of the state. Nothing, nothing, could be a

(22:33):
greater attribute to accumulating power than scaring the population. Hl
Mencan used to say that all the time, the hobgoblins
of government. You scare people, they will do anything you want,
and people are scared, they're intimidated by the state. Now,
of course we're destroying young people. Oh, we are infecting

(22:55):
the elderly and the nursing homes, while we're locking down
the healthy and destroying those young people. But to pay
no attention to that from Governor Walls, from Governor Cuomo,
from you name it, from Governor Newsom, and then they
violate their own restrict and pay no attention to that.
This is about power and doing anything anything to get power.
That's why Nancy Pelosi said she doesn't want the covidist

(23:16):
Jerry to end. You listen very closely to what he said,
where the place where we will begin to see, we
will begin to see. And then he also cautions against
a surge and the virus. If we're going to grow
the economy with confidence, we've got to crush the virus.

(23:37):
They are definitely related. Crush the virus. Understand friends, we
have never ever in our history handled a public health
situation like this, not the Spanish flu. Eisenhower had a
horrible flu season in fifty seven. By the way, By
the way, friends, if you want to know why no

(23:59):
one tries us the so called public health experts, Hey,
they were wrong. Come to Chinatown. Don't worry about a mask.
We don't need any of the bands on travel. Then
it was a one eighty. Oh my god, the world
is ending. They've been wrong everywhere they've been. But but

(24:20):
in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty there were thirty eight
million cases of the flu. Thirty eight million. Do you
know how many flu cases that no one has been
able to explain adequately there have been this year? Do
you have any idea? Try eighteen hundred and twenty two

(24:43):
one eight hundred, twenty thirty eight million, last winner, this
last or the previous winner, this winner? Eighteen hundred cases?
What the hell are you? Who are you kidding? You?
Wonder why people are are reluctant to de latch on
to your vaccine passport? Please? No, I'm not a gives

(25:04):
of vaccines, but in fact I think we're getting close
to her immunity, which is why Pelosi, of course, is wrong.
We can open up tomorrow, but they don't want to
do that because it destroys the stimulus package. It destroys infrastructure.
By the way, if you talk to your friend infrastructure lately,
great person. Infrastructure could be anything you wanted to be.
It destroys it all. So this has been they've been

(25:26):
able to circumvent election laws, and too bad. The Supreme
Court didn't bother to enforce the Constitution because it was
a violation of the Constitution. Only state legislatures may change
election laws. There's no pandemic exception to the Bill of
Rights to the Constitution, and yet they did it. Hey,
great work if you can find it. This is what

(25:46):
we're in ikafka esque, dystopian Orwellian, not in nineteen eighty four,
twenty twenty one. And this is why Rush figured out
that we may have already the Q Audio four. I
was talking about the flu earlier. I think that it's
worth noting here that we may have cured it. We

(26:10):
may have cured the flu. Well, let me splain what
I mean. We've gone from seven thousand, seven hundred three
positive flu test to thirty six flu test either one
or two years. That sounds like a cure to me,
why do you think that is what could be possibly

(26:32):
be the explanation for this? Have you heard of a
new flu vaccine? Have you seen people lining up to
get their flu shots and vaccines in record numbers? Have
you seen have you seen any news reports about the
new successful treatment for the flu? Look, there's no greater
student of quote unquote the news than I am. Even

(26:55):
when there isn't any news anymore, I know where to
go to find the news. And I'm telling you, until
the CDC announced this, I hadn't seen anything like it.
Here's even a little little blurb here. CDC reports record
low positive flu tests as coronavirus cases surge nationwide. The
flu has seen a remarkable dip. Reported cases of influenza

(27:21):
reached record lows. It's in the Washington Examiner. It's a miracle.
We've cured the infections called a flu. They've been plaguing
mankind for hundreds of years. Did COVID do it? Maybe so?

(27:41):
Maybe so? Or maybe not. I mean, as Rush points
out sarcastically, who in their right mind believes that the
COVID restrictions have taken flu cases from thirty eight million
thirty eight millions. It's been as high sixty million, and
many many seasons passed. Sixty eight was a horrible year,

(28:02):
H one n one in two thousand and nine. We
never shut down the economy, We never took away people's
civil liberties. We never changed the election law. We never
let the lawless run the streets while you were locked
in your home or nursing home and infected with it.
But we've never done that before, and we never had
flucases go from thirty eight million to eighteen hundred, and
yet they have no explanation except oh, it must have
been doctor Fauci's mask, that was it. Who believes this crap?

(28:24):
This is why nobun believes the experts. No one believes
the media, nor should they. You know, friends, cell phone
service doesn't have to be expensive. Russia's sponsor Pure Talk
has certainly proven that Rush spoke about their thirty dollars
a month plan for your phone, unlimited talk, text, six
kids of data every single month. That's more than most
people need for just thirty bucks a month. Here's how

(28:46):
Rush explained it to us. Hey, Fox, this one'll shore
bet that you can make this year, and that is
you're gonna use your cell phone more than you did
last year. That translates to bigger cell phone bills. You're
gonna be paying more for it unless you are proactive
and do something about that. This is why so many

(29:08):
people in this audience are switching their cell phone service
from one of the big providers to pure Talk. Pure
Talk offers you unlimited talk, unlimited text, and six gigs
of data for just thirty dollars a month, and if
you go over on data, they don't charge you for it.
They don't charge you if you go over your six

(29:30):
gigs of data. Now you compare that monthly price thirty
bucks a month to your current cell phone bill. Just
compare it your current cell phone bill. I would make
a guess, but seventy five eighty bucks depending on how
many lines and phones you have. I don't know what
it is. But thirty bucks a month for unlimited talk,

(29:51):
unlimited text, six gigs of data. Now here's the real
icing on the cake. Pure Talk uses the same cell
phone towers as one of the biggest cell phone service
providers in America. They focus on providing great service and
support with every Pure Talk employee located in the US.

(30:14):
From your cell phone, do this dial pound two fifty
and say pure talk. Get started. You'll say fifty percent
off your first month. That's pound two five zoo and
say pure talk. Just pick up your phone right now,
pound two five oo and say pure talk. Guess what
somebody from there will answer and you're offer running. Okay,

(30:34):
we are back with more of the Russia Limbaugh Program.
Right after this gang stick around. This is the talk
show host formerly known as Congressman Jason Lewis guiding you
today on the Rush Limbaugh Program, America's real anchorman right
here every day, same BAT channel, same BAT station. It
is good to have you here, my friends, but I'll
tell you the intimidation goes on unabated. We are quickly

(30:58):
moving from a republic book, which is nothing more than
a filtered majority, a filtered majority refined with representation and
constrained by the separation of powers. That's pretty fancy lingo
for a guy that used to be in Congress. But
here's what it means. We want a majority to rule.
You don't want a minority. That's a monarchy. But you

(31:18):
don't want a mob to rule. So you put checks
and balances in the way of the majority until they
climb over each and everyone to make certain we have
a consensus and we actually actually all agree that this
is good power. Make it tough for the government to act.
That's the essence of a republicanism. Small r. What are
the Democrats doing. They're tearing down every single check to

(31:40):
government power to the mob. They're encouraging the mob in Minnesota.
They're taking away or they want to threaten to pack
the Supreme Court with this commission. They're undoing the filibuster
for crying out loud rush. Explain the nuclear option not
that long ago Audio number five. Maybe I should take
time to explain into with the nuclear option. Is it

(32:01):
gets thrown around before Harry Reid invoked the nuclear option.
The rule is in the Senate, you needed sixty votes
to do anything. That rule goes back allow. It's not
an original Senate rule. It was added to the Senate
after the founding of the country. But it's been around
for decades. It's been accepted by both parties. The Senate,

(32:26):
compared to the House, is where things are supposed to
slow down. By design. Founding father design. The founding fathers
were hell bent to stop government action. The Constitution limited government,
and that's why people like Obama and Democrats call it

(32:46):
a Charter of negative liberties because it limits government. Is
an anti government, pro citizen document, and the founders wanted
to make it hard. Gridlock was part to the design.
The founders wanted to make it hard for laws to
be passed. They wanted to make it hard for there

(33:06):
to be restrictions on the freedom of the people. The
House was set up as the direct representatives of the people,
not direct democracy, but many more of them per district,
and in Toto they served for two year terms. The
Senate was the equivalent of an aristocracy. At the beginning,
senators were not even elected. They were appointed in the

(33:29):
early days, and that changed and senators did become elected.
But the Senate is designed to slow down out of
control madcap activity elsewhere in the legislative branch. I in
the House, and the sixty vote rule was part of that.

(33:49):
You have a hundred senators, but for anything to happen,
you need sixty, which makes it really hard for anything
to happen. Well, the Democrats under Obama never had sixty votes.
For cabinet nomination, need sixty. For judicial nominees, you need
sixty until Harry Reid came along in twenty thirteen and

(34:12):
blew up the sixty vote rule, and this is called
the nuclear option. And Harry Reid decreed because he ran
the Senate Senate majority leader, he ran it and he
was able to ram rod rules changes through. So beginning
in twenty thirteen, sixty votes were no longer needed to
affirm presidential appointments, nominations or judges for every court except

(34:39):
the Supreme Court. All you needed was fifty one votes
at any rate. Look, I just wanted to get that explained.
So when you hear nuclear option, no question what it is.
Number now Russ of course is right again he explained
the difference there between majority rule and mob rule. So

(35:00):
now we've got no filibuster for judges, including the Supreme Court.
There's one left legislation. That's what the Democrats want to undo.
So then they can then pass the or pack, I
should say, the Supreme Court, and those checks and balances
will be a thing of the past for the model
one eight two two to eight eight two. Let's squeeze
in a quick call right after this, and the Democrat

(35:24):
to media intimidation continues. They've got corporate America on their
side now, as they threatened to pack the Supreme Court.
That's what this commission is all about. We'll get to
that in the monologue with Rush next hour, but right now,
let's squeeze in. Steven Toledo, Ohio. You're on EIB you
we're going into democratic despicism. You know what, they're narrowly
divined to find worldview if you think about it, they've

(35:48):
been breaking the law for a long time. They have
a revolving door. People that they put in they might
leave office, they might not do a full term. Then
they shoot their other people and they're taking advantage. This
is what Donald Trump called the swamp. Absolutely, that's exactly
what Trump was talking about. And they're taking it. When

(36:09):
you agree that they're taking advantage of, you know, the poor, uneducated,
they're taking advantage of the black people. They're taking advantage
of middle class Americans. And one of the things we're
not hearing is that if the police stop you and
they say, sir, they adam exit your vehicle, you're supposed

(36:34):
to do what they say. They're doing it for a reason. Now,
if you have nothing to hide, when you agree that
you can just get out of your car and you
can trust that the officers going to do their job. Well,
you've got to have due process rights, but we have
to wait and see if those due process rights were violated.
There is no wait and see anymore. It is a
rush due judgment for political expediency. They are using the

(36:56):
police in order to gain power. Let to say something.
What they're trying to do is make certain that the
police do not engage in a chase. If someone flees,
or if someone resists, arrests, and then when they don't
engage in the chase and crime skyrockets in North and
South Minneapolis. Has it's done, then they blame the police.
There's has nothing to do with social justice. It has

(37:19):
nothing to do with income inequality. If they were concerned
about incoming equality, they would actually educate our inner city
youth and let them have school choice. They don't give
a damer hour or two of the Russia Limbaugh Program
up and running for a Monday. I am the talk
show host formerly known as Congressman Jason Lewis glad to
be guiding you through America's a real anchorman. One eight

(37:41):
two two two eight eight two. Thanks for the call.
Last hour. I'll try to squeeze in one or two
more as we move on to all the news of
the day, more riots in the Twin Cities. Look out
if the trial doesn't come out as well as the
mob wants the trial to come out, regardless of what
the jury hears, we shall be waiting with the bata
breath on that. Here in Minnesota, let me tell you something.

(38:03):
I'm Sinclair Lewis, of all people, the diet in the
wool left wing journalists from Minnesota said, do you understand America,
You need to understand Minnesota. And if you think about that,
what's happening in Minnesota. The rural urban divide, all of
rural Minnesota is read. All of the Twin Cities is
not only blue, it's radical Antifa blue. As these people

(38:26):
create these hell holes in the inner cities, the liberals
move to the suburbs and they become blue. But the
Conservatives leap frog out of the entire metro area and
they go back where they can control their destiny. And
that is what's happening in Colorado, in Washington, in Oregon,
you name it everywhere, and it's by design. Why do

(38:50):
you think they want to get rid of the electoral college?
It lessens the rural vote. By making small populations less
important was another check on the mob. And that's our
theme has been today. You've got to understand the difference
between majority rule and mob rule. That's why Franklin supposedly

(39:13):
set a republic if you can keep it. There is
actually a great controversy as to whether that when down,
but regardless, it's a good line. You know, if you
think about Section four, Article one, the times places in
manner of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be
prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof. Article two,

(39:34):
each state shall appoint in such manner as the legislature
thereof may direct the number of electors. Now, what would happen,
you suppose, my friends, if HR one which seeks to
federalize elections, this is the campaign or the federalizing of
elections thanks to COVID, no deadlines, all mail in universal

(39:57):
mail ins, no voter ID would ban I effectively. What
would happen if the Supreme Court said a game, we
finally have to rule on this. Our backs against the wall.
We don't like to do it, after all, we are
the Roberts Court. We don't like to do it, but
we finally got a rule on this, and you can't
do this. Why why the Democrats would then turn on

(40:18):
the court. The Democrats might even unleash the mob on
the Court the way Chuckie Schumer did. The threats are
going unabated. Literally, we've got one party in America that
thinks they can threaten their opponents, whether it's false Russian conspiracies,
whether it's a corrupt intelligence bureaucracy and a corrupt DJ

(40:42):
whether it's going after people who trust pass and call
them insurrectionists while letting riders run free, letting the governor
of Minnesota talk about yet another black life taken, when
in fact, we don't know the circumstances. They're doing it deliberately,
and now they're going after the Court. But what the

(41:03):
problem is, They've got history not on their side, especially
with this president, but on the other side. It wasn't
that long ago we found out that Biden actually opposed
undoing the filibuster, and if you remember Audio six, he
didn't like packing the Supreme Court either. President Roosevelt clearly
had the right to send to the United States Senate

(41:24):
the United States Congress a proposal to pack the court.
It was totally within his right to do that. He
violated no law. He was legalistically absolutely correct, but it
was a bone had idea. It was a terrible, terrible
mistake to make, and it put in question for an
entire decade the independence of the most significant body, including

(41:49):
the Congress, in my view, the most significant body in
this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Well,
that's exactly right, showing that even a blind squirrel can
find an acorn once in a while. Biden was right,
and he basically said, the Court is countermajoritarian. The Court
is not supreme. Jefferson was right about judicial review. It

(42:11):
has to be limited, just like anything else, and you
Congress can limit it by impeaching judges, they can remove
appellate jurisdiction. But nevertheless, the Court's independence is what's being threatened.
They are now doing to the court what they've been
doing the cops intimidating it. And that's why Rush, when
he talked about the threats to the Supreme Court, was

(42:32):
has usual spot on. Let me read a headline. Do
you see how this affects you? Fox News headlines. Senate
Democrats deliver stunning warning the Supreme Court heal or face restructuring.
Several high profiles then at democrats threatened the Supreme Court
in pointed terms this week that it could face a

(42:55):
fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to heal
the court in the near future. Now you're probably saying,
what the hell is that about? What the hell did
the Supreme Court do to take these people off? Well,
A Clarence Thomas is there, Kavanaugh is there, Alito is there.

(43:16):
There's a bunch of conservatives on the court. The ominous
and unusual threats were delivered as part of a brief
filed Monday in a case related to New York City
gun laws. Senators Sheldon White House Democrat Rhode Island, Richard Bloomenthal,
that'd be hannoyed, Dick Donning, Dick whatever, Democrat Connecticut, Mazie Harrono,

(43:41):
the man hater from Hawaii, Dick Turbin from Illinois, and
the pretty white girl Kirsten Gillibrand who looks to me
actually just stepped out of a giant bag of flower
referenced rulings by the Court's conservative majority, claiming it is

(44:01):
suffering from some sort of affliction which has to be
remedied the brief that these Democrats senators filed said. The
Supreme Court is not well and the people know it,
and they're threatening if the Supreme Court doesn't stop this,
if the Supreme Court doesn't start ruling the way the
Democrat Party wants, then they're going to maybe start engaging
in packing the court again when they get the White

(44:21):
House back. They are threatening to expand the number of
seats on the Supreme Court, have an next Democrat president
loaded up with Democrats to fix this if the Court
doesn't change its ways. Now, Congress established not the judiciary,
but Congress set it up. The Constitution establishes the judiciary

(44:45):
as a branch, but Congress decides what the districts are,
how many there are, where the courts, the federal courts
in these districts are. You've heard the first Circuit, the
Second Circuit, the DC Circuit, Second Circuit, Ninth Circuit. Congress
sets this up. Congress can, if they have the votes,

(45:08):
Legislative League can change the makeup of the court system
however they want. What this is not that this is
an out and out threat to the way various justices
are deciding cases, and these Democrats are basically telling conservative justices, you, guys,
if you don't stop this, if you don't change the

(45:29):
way you're ruling on this is not what they're saying,
but it's essentially what they're saying. The same thing is,
then we're going to get hold of this court next
time a Democrats in the White House. We're going to
expand this court to twelve seats or fifteen, and it's
gonna be nothing of but Democrats on the new seats.
Dramatic changes to the Supreme Court have been proposed by
several Democrats vying for their party's twenty twenty presidential nomination.

(45:53):
Supreme Court's not well and people know it. All this is, folks,
it's actually in one Sen's a good sign. The Democrats
are realizing that Donald Trump's going to get the next appointment.
There will be probably a sixth conservative justice on the
court before Trump leaves office minimum and that totally takes

(46:18):
a key weapon out of the Democrat arsenal. Their insurance
against losing elections has always been to control the judiciary.
They put liberal activists on the courts as judges, and
they basically make law while ostensibly ruling on cases before them.
And this is how they ensure themselves against losing elections

(46:39):
while they're not going to lose the power to establish
the culture and the law, even if they don't have
the power of the White House and Congress behind them.
And since the Court is decidedly now tilted to the
right and looks like it could be even more tilted

(46:59):
to the right before Trump leaves office, they are now
attempting to intimidate and nothing's going to come of it.
It's just a threat that I wouldn't be surprised if
for the next time of Democrats in the White House
they do try to expand the court and pack it.
You know, President Trump did get the next appointment Amy
Coney Barrett, and think about where we would be on

(47:19):
religious worship, on First Amendment, on free speech, on the
Second Amendment. They're going after that on searches and seizures
thanks to the false Russian conspiracy hoax, and what the
fight a court which I voted against, by the way,
in Congress. Proud to say that where we would be
without Barrett. We'll talk a little bit about that coming up.
But understand a little history here. The FDR attempt to

(47:39):
pack the court worked. It was the switch in time
that saved nine and this is what the Democrats want
to do. They don't They may not ever pack the court.
I actually don't think they will, but they are threatening
the judges. It's like they're threatening Brier to step down.
And the goal, just as in the New Deal era,

(48:01):
was when they were striking down New Deal legislation because
it was beyond, as it was the enumerated powers of
the Constitution. I think it was the Selector meat packing house.
By recall, it was the Schlector case. Anyway, when they
struck those down, that's when FDR threatened to pack the
court to intimidate them, and lo and behold the next
few decisions. Darby and a few others wickered why it

(48:27):
was the switch in time West Coast Hotel, the switch
in time that they acquiesced. Now, don't think for a
moment that would work on a guy like John Roberts.
I'm Jason Lewis your guide today on the Russia lumbab plub.
We continue with the Russia Lumba program here on the
Excellence and Broadcasting Network. Jason Infrastructure Lewis. Remember, infrastructure can

(48:51):
be anything you want it to be. So you walk
into the coffee shop. Just tell them I'd like an
infrastructure today. I mean, it doesn't matter what it is.
Just ask curse Jilla brand anything. We'll talk about that
a little later. Infrastructure obviously is a ruse to increase spending.
But it's not like we've got a debt problem. You
know what our deficit was from last October to this

(49:12):
February a trillion dollars. Where the hell are the bond
vigilantees when we need them? Actually, we're starting to see
that as the ten year rate is creeping towards a
two percent, and if that goes south, lookout, folks. We
are playing with fire and MMT won't get us out
of it now. First of all, though, the single biggest

(49:33):
fire out of control is this assault on the Republic
otherwise known as a filtered majority, otherwise known as three
branches of government, otherwise known as checks and balances, otherwise
known has limits on the state, and the Court is
next in the crosshairs. Started with Chuck Schumer, a loudmouth
from New York, who threatened the Court, threatened Kavanaugh, threatened

(49:56):
all of them. CNN didn't seem to catch that. They
were busy, they were busy going after the Comington High
School gets. Oh yeah, they got sued over that. These
people they lie with impunity. This is really the gas
lighting we face today. And this is why a media
that is basically not a watchdog of government but a

(50:20):
mouthpiece for government is so dangerous. Where would the country
be without Donald Trump's Supreme Court appointments, Well, you wouldn't
have a whole lot of rights that right now we
have that are in jeopardy. Audio cut number eight. Here's
Rush on the impact of Amy Coney Barrett. They can't believe,

(50:40):
they can't believe that this court's now six three conservative.
They can't believe that Justice Roberts has been eliminated now
as the power behind the court to fix things. It's
six three conservatives now with Amy Coney Barrett. So their
only reactions they're going to pack the court. They're gonna
get rid of her influence. They're gonna negate her confirmation

(51:05):
if they win the presidency by packing the court minimum
thirteen justices on the Supreme Court. They won't admit it
that they've been caught flat footed saying it. When asked
about his plans to pack the Supreme Court, Biden said
voters don't deserve to know what his plans are. And
that's because Joe Biden believes that half of America's voters

(51:28):
are a bunch of chumps with microphones, bitter, clinging, deplorable
chunks with microphones. Who in their right mind could vote
for these people? And asking myself, who in their right
mind could vote for these people? It boggles the mind
to me. Now the Democrats are fit to be tied.
You have Nanning Dick Blumenthal from Connecticut was threatening I

(51:51):
don't know what to amy Conny Barrett, saying there will
be consequences. There are consequences when you break the rules.
There'll be consequences when you lie the West. There'll be
consequence when he's talking about but he was threatening her.
Chris Coons, who was Biden's replacement in Delaware, the senator
short little ball hit a guy. He's on PMSNBC. Yes,

(52:12):
they told Rachel matt Out there should be a wide
open conversation on rebalancing the courts, including the circuit and
district courts, where there are hundreds of judges ready for this,
who should not be allowed to sit peaceably without our

(52:33):
re examining the process. The results and the consequences. What
does that mean. It means that little Chris Coons wants
to pack the Supreme Court and the district courts in
order to punish the Republicans for getting so many lower
court nominees confirmed. And this guy supposedly a moderate. Do

(52:55):
you know, by the way, that there aren't any openings
on the Circuit Court that Trump has filled them all.
It is amazing. Trump has confirmed over three hundred judges
in total in three years. This has reshaped the American
judiciary unlike it has ever been reshaped before. And the

(53:15):
Democrats know it, and they are fit to be tied.
There's nothing they could do to stop it. The nomination
of Aidy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, her confirmation
and her swearing in as one of the greatest things
that's ever happened to the Supreme Court, one of the
greatest things ever happened a rule of law. It's one
of the greatest things that ever happened, a separation of powers.

(53:36):
And I'm gonna tell you her speech last night, I believe,
as much as anyone was targeting the Chief Justice, who
has been so far outside the bounds in his recent rulings.
I think will never know, but I think she had
him in mind. In fact, I think Nina Tottenberg last

(53:58):
night on Fredo Prime Time has same fear. Fredo said,
what could a Judge Barrett mean to jurisprudence going forward?
You're about to look at a court that is more
conservative than any court has been in eighty or ninety years,
dating back to the nineteen thirties. And what that means

(54:18):
is that there's going to be a six to three majority.
It also means the Chief Justice Roberts, who is I
think it's fair to say, painfully aware of the danger
to the courts if the Supreme Court is viewed as
just a partisan institution. If it means that he no

(54:38):
longer has the kind of control he had in the
last term when he was the fifth vote, well, that's
exactly what it means. And here's Victor Davis Hanson with
his take on that very assessment. I think it really
diminishes the hamlet to be or not to be role
of Justice Roberts, because he's going to be less relevant
than he was in the past. With the addition of

(55:00):
Justice Barrett. It really tells the Republicans that they can
make great appointments like Clarence Thomas and Justice Barrett, and
they don't have to highlight race, class, and gender, that
these are incidental, they're not essential. Merit is what counts.
This is such an important point that I want to

(55:20):
try to emphasize this because what Victor Davis Hants is
pointing out here is Clarence Thomas a great judge, a
great mind. It doesn't matter that he's black, it doesn't
matter where he grew up, it doesn't matter he's African American,
none of that matters. It means he's a brilliant jurist.
Justice Barrett, same thing didn't have to be chosen because

(55:44):
of race or class or her gender to us, to
US Republicans, those are incidental things. They are not defining things.
The defining things about Thomas and Barrett are their mind
and their personalities, their character and who they are, not
their gender, not their race, not their sexual orientation or preference.

(56:09):
Well said Rush. And what it really means as well
is the court has it's construed right now means your
First Amendment, your Second Amendment, your Fourth Amendment, your Fifth Amendment,
right to property, your right to a trial by jury,
are secure for now, which is why the Democrats feel

(56:32):
so threatened. They don't seem to support any of that.
Remember when Justice Roberts himself said, the best way to
stop discriminating by race is to stop discriminating by race.
That means preferences in quotas will not hold up in
this court. No matter what your university says, as they
discriminate against Asian Americans or United Airlines putting quotas for pilots.

(56:55):
None of that passes muster right now, which is why
the Democrats are hell bent on changing and packing the court.
Beware all right, great to be back in the Attila
the Hunt Chair at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I am Jason Lewis. Thanks for joining us today. You know,
we've been having some fun about the Kristen Gillibrand's infrastructure.

(57:15):
Is daycare infrastructures, care giving infrastructures, anything I want to be?
But she wasn't the only one who's making excuses for
this massive, massive, budget busting, trillion dollars infrastructure bill. I mean,
for Havin's sake, do you know how much we've spent
on COVID relief already? Five point seven trillion. Now, don't
get me wrong, there's an argument to be made if

(57:37):
the government is going to shut down your business, they
ought to make you whole. But the real answer is
not to shut down your business. Instead, it was an
excuse to spend five point seven trillion dollars on extraneous items.
Now they move on to infrastructure, and it's another couple
of trillion, none of which has anything to do with infrastructure,

(57:58):
which is why the Democrats are running around saying infrastructure
is anything you want it to be. Listen to Energy
Secretary Jennifer Granholm. She's destroyed Michigan. Now she wants to
destroy the country. What is infrastructure? Historically it's been what
makes the economy move? What is it that we all
need to ensure that we as citizens are productive. Infrastructure
evolves to meet the American people's aspirations, and it's not static.

(58:23):
We don't want to use past definitions of infrastructure when
we are moving into the future. And by the way,
when other countries are investing significantly in their infrastructure to
overcome us, what a croc? What a crock? The infrastructure
is moving people and things period, Ports, dams, highways, airports,

(58:47):
everybody knows that. Yet, if you break down Biden's infrastructure plan,
the Jillabran Grandholme Plan, why there's money for public schools,
hundred billion dollars, childcare, ax or access, the National Science Foundation,
affordable housing, clean energy, electric vehicles, and public transit, both

(59:11):
of which will drain the Highway Trust Fund. Your trust
fund is funded by you, the automobile driver. Twenty three
point four cents a gallon. Guess how much electric vehicles
pay into that zip zero nota no. If you want
to buy electric vehicle, I don't care, but we shouldn't
be subsidizing your purchase every time you do so, to
the tune of seven thousand, five hundred dollars. We should

(59:32):
be making you pay when you charge your electric vehicle,
just like gas users pay. And when you subsidize one
hundred million dollars per mile light rail lines that do
nothing for productivity, they don't pay anything into the Highway
Trust Fund either. That's why it's broke, and that's why
Chris Christie had a pretty good line yesterday. Plate cut ten.

(59:53):
Here's what's not popular. Lying is not popular. It's not infrastructure. George.
If Donald Trump out and it's called a dog a cat,
which is what Joe Biden's doing. We would be outraged
by the fact that he's lying. But with Joe Biden,
somebuts like, oh, well come on, it's Joe. No, no, no, no,
it's not true. He doesn't know he's lying. Chris, that's

(01:00:17):
the problem. Kamala knows it, but Joe doesn't know it.
Rush talked about this not long ago. And here's what
Ella Rushibo had to say. Well, let's compare the too stimuli.
The Obama stimulus, otherwise known as the Porculus Bill, was
never going to be spent on the claims Obama made

(01:00:39):
rebuilding roads and bridges and schools. Everybody knew on the
Republican side because they know who Obama was and is.
Obama is a big government liberal, and when big government
liberals spend big government money, it's usually spent on a

(01:01:00):
fair or similar type things. In the case of Obama's stimulus,
most of it went to union groups. State by state
by state. There weren't any new roads built other than
those already scheduled to be repaired and built. There weren't
any new school repairs, and there weren't any bridges. None

(01:01:22):
of the things that Obama got the money for actually happened.
But Trump has been very specific about what he wants
to use this money for. He wants to rebuild roads, bridges,
and he makes a point of airports and he talks
about how dilapidated they are compared to other modernized airports

(01:01:42):
in other places around the world. And I think all
this reflects is a realization on the part of the
American p the American people, many of them, particularly on
the Republican side, think the country is falling apart in
a whole bunch of different ways. We're falling apart ltually,
we are falling apart in our politics. We're falling apart politically.

(01:02:06):
And I believe it's nothing more complicated than people actually
do think that we need to modernize some things in
this country. And I believe it if you would deeply
ask these people, if you could find these people that
make up the people saying ninety percent say agree with
the premise, you would find that the vast majority of

(01:02:29):
them think that this is a legitimate responsibility for government,
state and federal combined, to make sure that the airports
are modernized and not falling apart, to make sure bridges
are not going to collapse down the road to make
sure dams are okay. This is the stuff that people
assume government does. Anyway, that's government's responsibility, state and local.

(01:02:56):
It's not something I mean, the private sector gets hired
to do these projects. That's another aspect of this. You're
going to spend a trillion dollars, but who's going to
get it. It's going to go to jobs. It's going
to go to contractors. It's going to go to people
who get hired to build and rebuild and refurbish these
various projects. I think people trust Trump on this. This

(01:03:16):
money is literally going to end up in the economy.
It's going to end up as commerce. It's going to
create jobs, it's going to have demonstrable upside results. I
think it's just a simple matter of trusting Trump when
he says this is what he's going to do. Plus,
he's a builder, and they look at Trump properties. They

(01:03:38):
see the buildings and other things that Trump is built,
and they are all modern, and they're all state of
the art, and they all look cool. And this is
what Trump's expertise is. And I think people agree with
Trump when he runs around complaining about the state of
infrastructure in this country. You know, I'm so glad Rush
brought that up. I served on the Transferation and Infrastructure

(01:04:01):
Committee in one hundred and fifteenth Congress. We were pushing,
we were trying to mark up the Trump Infrastructure Bill,
and when we come back, I'm gonna tell you the
exact difference. It couldn't be more stark. Rush hinted at this,
And I'm going to try to fill in the gaps here.
Because one infrastructure bill, which much less costly, I'll tell

(01:04:22):
you how we did it increase productivity. The other one
redistributes wealth. It's really as simple as that. Hey, have
you gathered your old home movies and family videos and
digitize them yet so you can watch them again and
again and again. Look, there's a million families that have
done this, and now you need to do it too,
with the help of a company. Rush talked about quite

(01:04:43):
a bit, Legacy Box. Here's just one example of his
reviews of how well Legacy Box works. Hey, Wavy a gentleman.
A lot of us are spending more time at home
right Many people are at home right now. A lot
of people are able to take on a project that

(01:05:03):
otherwise would go wanting you could do that. You could
find every old family video, family film, all those great
pictures family get togethers from long ago that you've had
stored for years and years and years and never seen
them because the formats are not viable. You don't have
Betamax anymore, you don't have vhs. So assemble all that
stuff and get it digitally transferred by Legacy Box. Our

(01:05:25):
friends at Legacy Box ready to help you get this done.
They're offering you fifty percent off the normal price of
their service. Today. Legacy Box has the high speed gear
you need to digitally transfer all that old stuff onto
DVD or thumb drive and they get it back to
you in a couple of weeks. What you do, You
ordered the Legacy Box asynpacy. It's protected so that no

(01:05:45):
damage occurs to your stuff while you're sending it to them.
They digitally transfer it, they keep your advice of the process.
Two weeks later, they send it back to your DVD,
thumb drive, I cloud download however you want it. And
then you've got it and you can duplicate it, you
can edit it, you can copy it, give it to
other share it other members of the family. This is
how you bring back to life all the old stuff

(01:06:06):
that's been collecting and you haven't seen it in years.
Start the process today. Order one of the specially made
Legacy boxes that you will use to ship all of
that stuff to Legacy Box in Tennessee and again in
two weeks you get it all back, all those tapes
and all the films, Super eight, high eight, super whatever,

(01:06:28):
the sixteen millimeter whatever, you've got, VHS, Beta Max, Noell
transfer it. You'll get the originals back and the digital
DVD thumb drive fifty percent off at legacybox dot com
slash rush. Can't do this yourself fifty percent off at
legacybox dot com slash rush. Hey, let me explain when

(01:06:50):
we come back gang, the difference between the Trump Infrastructure
bill when I was in Congress and the difference between
this three trillion dollar monstrosity with ear remark, has Biden
proposes that and more coming right? Okay, we are back
on the Russia Umball program with the talk show host
formerly known as Congressman Jason Lewis. Now, when I was
in one hundred and fifteenth, let me tell you how

(01:07:11):
we handle infrastructure. The president had a two trillion dollar plan.
Guess how much it would have cost federal taxpayers had
the Democrats allowed it to get out of the T
and I Committee, of which I served two hundred and
fifty to three hundred billion bucks. Well, you say, it's
called the three p's public private partnership. We were going
to do what Australia has done so successfully, and that

(01:07:33):
is leverage private funds to build the infrastructure. Australia used
five billion dollars from their central government to leverage over
twenty billion in private and state investment. And how you
do it was actually pretty simple. You say, set up
a bonus fund at the federal government level, and you

(01:07:53):
say you if the state government starts to sell off
non performing public assets to private and to we will
give you a bonus. First come, first serve. So you
may have a utility, you may have a housing project,
you may have a road, you may have a small airport.
You sell that off to a private entity. It gets
on the tax rolls. Instead of sitting there they run

(01:08:14):
it better. You take the proceeds from that sale, get
a bonus from the federal government at a fraction of
the cost, and you use all of that new money
on new infrastructure. That's what we were going to do
in t and I that's how Trump could get leverage
two hundred and fifty billion to two trillion. And it
all was going towards roads and bridges and airport. I

(01:08:34):
shouldn't say, oh, but most of it. Now this is
going to cost us a net three trillion or more
when it's all said and done from mister Biden. And
then they'll add earmarks which are back they weren't back
when I was serving. And it's a total chaos. It is,
as Rush pointed out, the bridge to nowhere, Obama is

(01:08:57):
going to this bridge, iphot Obama had already been to
the bridge. It's the bridge that affects mot Bainter and McConnell,
that links Ohio and Kentucky, and the bridge, there's no
trouble that the bridge does not qualify for anything stimulus wise.
Now it's not falling down. In fact, it doesn't even

(01:09:19):
need any repairs. It's just not big enough anymore to
handle a load. They are going to build a second
bridge next to it, from what I understand, but it's
not going to start for four years. This is pure
one hundred percent political photo op. It is optics. It
is Obama's bridge to nowhere. He's going there. He's going

(01:09:40):
to try to tell people that this is an example
of the unsafe bridges, just like when he was in
North Carolina. He cites one hundred and fifty three structurally
deficient or otherwise in bad shape bridges, but he doesn't
identify them. He says that four of them are very
near where he was, which was near Raleigh at North Carolina,

(01:10:01):
but he didn't identify. So people's lives apparently were in
danger while Obama knew it was doing nothing about it.
In the meantime, we had eight hundred and some odd
billion dollars spent on shovel ready jobs. Fix the infrastructure
didn't happen instead of what the places like Celindra and
Light squared. So he's got a lot of questions to answer.
I really want to dwell on what Rush was talking about.

(01:10:24):
When I was on TNI, when Chairman Schuster was running it,
we had a couple of prerequisites. One, any spending on
infrastructure had to increase productivity to pay for itself. So
if you build a road and you've got more goods
being shipped on that road, more people getting to work,
Pant's earning more income, it pays for itself. If you

(01:10:44):
use infrastructure to redistribute well to bailout state government, which
is exactly what this does, that does not increase productivity.
If you use it to fund mass transit, which pays
nothing into the Highway Trust Fund, or electric vehicles or Celindra,
it does nothing to increase productivity. More than that the

(01:11:05):
people who are paying for the Highway Trust Fund are
automobile users. How money is being siphoned off for the
mass transit account, which is building these massive light rail
lines which are now our modern day version of bridges
to nowhere. What I described a moment ago was something
called asset recycling. If you just take a look at
the number of federal assets in let's just say my

(01:11:28):
home state of Minnesota alone right now, the federal government reports,
the GSA reports, at least it did a couple of
years ago, over four and twenty excuse me, forty two
hundred assets totaling eleven million square feet of office or
storage space. Eleven hundred buildings, doesn't include d D facilities,
doesn't include other assets. Now you throw in state and

(01:11:50):
local assets, you could sell those off and leverage infrastructure
with that new money. They don't want to do that.
That's why this is such a joke. Gary in Ohio,
you're on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, High call, Mega diddo, suya,

(01:12:11):
and I appreciate the fact that you're keeping Russia's legacy alive.
Good we do too. Um. I'm just curious with all
the executive orders that Joe Biden is signing for the
infrastructure and for all everything else that he's done, where

(01:12:31):
has there been any pushback from the Republicans. Whenever Trump
signed a piece of paper, there was a judge in
California or Hawaii or New York with violent and junction
against him and stopping. Why no, you're you're you're right
in these nationwide injunctions which must be visited by the court,

(01:12:52):
and Clarence Thomas has hinted at this, where you have
one district judge striking down a Trump executive order for
the entire country, as they did on immigration over and
over again. I'm not doing it for Biden so much so,
I don't know why the Democrats are so mad at judges.
They're doing their handywork for them. But you've got to
get a handle on these nationwide injunctions, which which I

(01:13:13):
think are of questionable constitutionality. You rule for your district
and that's it. But above and beyond the Republican pushback
earmarks is a pretty good example we had when I
got to Congress. We had to decide whether we want
to reinstate earmarks. I said no. Leadership said no at
the time. Now the Democrats reinstate them, so the Republicans

(01:13:34):
go along. You don't. You don't win elections by offering
the voters in echo. You offer them a choice. More
on EIB right after this, You know, the more I
think about it, maybe Biden's onto something. After all, part
of this infrastructure package is a massive corporate income tax increase.

(01:13:55):
You might have thought that the double Irish was a drink.
I did too, until I got to Congress and realized, well,
it's not only a drink, it's actually a double, but
it's also a tax strategy. Companies like oh, I don't
know Medtronic here in the cities. Think Medtronic switched. What
did they do? They had an operational switch where they

(01:14:16):
did a tax inversion, but I can't remember. I think
it was Ireland as well. But these companies, we're doing
these tax in versions prior to the Tax Cutting Jobs Act,
because when they brought their foreign profits home they were
double taxed. We ended that. Biden says, let's try to
reinstate that and welcome back our number three underway on

(01:14:40):
the RuSHA Lumball program. I am Jason. Infrastructure is anything
you wanted to be? Lewis your guide today for America's anchorman,
and I could not be more happy. One eight hundred
two eighty two to eight eight two. The number stays
the same as we as we move on. Update on
the situation here in the Twin Cities, and that is
that it was a quick briefing, as I understand, and

(01:15:02):
the officer or a tentative reports. Early reports say the
officer meant to shoot the taser has the person who
has held taken out of his car got back in
the car. The suspect with an outstanding warrant got back
in the car, tried to move, and the officer was
trying to apprehend them. And so far one report suggests
was an accidental shooting. We shall see. But I want

(01:15:23):
to make this point, whether it's George Floyd, whether it's
Rodney King, whether it's this particular situation. Anything. The antithesis
of a criminal a functioning criminal justice system is a
rush to judgment. I don't know how the verdicts gonna
come out in George Floyd. I don't know the verdict
is gonna come out in this particular situation. All I
know is, if you want chaos, you don't rush to judge.

(01:15:48):
And of course the opposite has happened, and it's being
egged on by liberal politicians in Minnesota and the media.
So naturally we've got another set of riots going on
in the Twin Cities soon coming to a town nearer you.
Minnesota is no longer known for Paul Bunyan. Now we
export chaos. And it started when Attorney General Ellison, Governor Walls,

(01:16:10):
Senator Smith, Representative Craig Phillips, you name it, said you
want to riot, go ahead. Our decision is not to
engage and for four days or let the Twin Cities burn.
It's going to happen again until we say there will
be no rush to judgment, regardless of the justice or
injustice that must be adjudicated by a system. If you

(01:16:33):
want a peaceful society, you will not rush to judge,
you will not burn and loot stop it it ends here.
They don't want to do that because they want votes.
They're afraid, just like corporate America is afraid. You know,
I'm gonna play a clip here about what Rush said
about Google years ago. But it's not just a Google

(01:16:56):
that is leading the charge, or Apple and Tim Cook
to lead eating the charge on boycotting Georgia, or corporate wokeism.
It's all of them. It's all of them. I remember
talking to one government affairs or pack director during my
Senate race last year, and they I called him and said,

(01:17:19):
well about you know, a meeting, and I'll tell you
why a growing economy with low taxes and the rule
of law and private property is the best thing for
your company competition. Now we've already contributed to your Democrat opponent. Well,
you haven't even met with me. I didn't even announce
my camp. We don't care. We're just support incumbent Democrats
because that's the safe way to go. You know, Corporate

(01:17:41):
America in Minnesota was way out ahead of everybody else.
I don't care whether it's General Mills, where my Senate
opponent used to work, or whether it's Eco lab or
three M or Medtronic or you name it. The businesses,
the big public businesses part of the Minis of Business Partnership.
We're all in for BLM. I know personally know of

(01:18:04):
a guy that quit the partnership because of this, but
he was you know, they're a few and far between.
Corporate America is gone. So when I joke about the
double Irish as I did last hour, the double Irish Bean,
if you made a foreign profit in say Ireland, and
you wanted to repatriate that back to Germany or a
German company operating in Ireland, Germany didn't tax you twice,

(01:18:26):
already paid your Irish taxes. But in America, prior to
Trump and what we did in Congress, if you made
that money in Ireland, foreign profits and you brought them home,
you were double taxed. You had to make up the
difference between our top rate of thirty five and whatever
the foreign tax. Well, we were the only country to

(01:18:47):
do that. Well we did in the Tax Cutting Jobs Act,
was we lowered that rate to twenty one and say
bring the profits home. One point six trillion came home.
Since now Biden wants to undo that with his infrastructure package. Now,
the knee jerk reaction to most conservatives. Hey, he can't
do that. But you know what, I'm starting to rethink this.
I am done carrying the water for corporate America. After

(01:19:07):
what Delta and Apple and the corrupt Major League Baseball.
Here's Major League Baseball running around the country for decades
demanding that you taxpayers build their stadiums, which they did
in Minnesota and across the country. And then and then
they decide to lecture you that a voter ID law

(01:19:30):
is somehow racist, how ironic, how ironic. The Masters stands
their ground, holds their own, does a wonderful ceremony with
Lee Elder, and then an Asian American wins the Masters
through merit a decade. Matsuyama, the Great Masters, by the way,
and that's the way to do it. They didn't back down.

(01:19:50):
Major League Baseball did because they're cowards. They are cowards,
and so are their fans, by the way. To say that,
because many of them listen to the program. But I
get oh many angry Twitter feeds from quote unquote sports fans.
ESPN and the sports community might as well just be
an arm of the Democrat Party. Let's be honest about

(01:20:11):
this and it's too bad, but it's true anyway. Rush's
take on groupthink has a gateway to totalitarianism. Hit audio
cut thirteen. What's happening at Google is an example of
what's happening on college camp hi everywhere. And this demand
for diversity and so called tolerance is actually leading to

(01:20:32):
the destruction of free speech. And the guy that get
fired at Google is making it very plain how things
operated out there, and he's essentially saying the same thing.
To give you a taste. Here the Google employee it
wrote the manifesto who ended up getting fired. His name
James Daymore, and he spoke with the psychology professor University Toronto,

(01:20:55):
Gordon Jordan Peterson is his name, and the professor here
has a YouTube channel, and so Jordan day Moore agreed
to be interviewed by Jordan Peterson and during the interview,
day More, the engineer fired, talked about the reason he
wrote the manifesto. I'm not just attacking diversity. I'm just

(01:21:19):
attacking the fact that we can't honestly discuss any of
these issues and that that is actually hurting the problem.
And you see, they can't discuss, they can't be open
about what they think they have to follow the Google
group think or they're going to be caned. They're not
allowed to dissent. And yet these are people claiming to
be the greatest defenders of First Amendment free speech. These

(01:21:41):
are people claiming to be the bulwark and the saviors.
And yet if you don't say what they want to
hear or what they agree with, you will be shut down,
you'll be shamed, and you will be fired. This is
how it begins, folks, and it's already begun on several
college campuses and at many institutions that the left. The

(01:22:04):
way you end up losing freedom of speech is not
by the protest march, but actually enforcing no freedom of
speech and only tolerating certain speech under the guise of diversity.
Or that's how it happens, and it is in the
process happening. And you can look at surveys of millennials

(01:22:25):
on college campus, you'll find a shocking percentage of these
young people who think that it's perfectly fine that speech
be policed so that feelings are not hurt and so
that people aren't offended, and they're perfectly fine with it.
And that's how it begins. And of course all of
this is happening under an umbrella that people think is

(01:22:48):
ultimately good and positive and compassionate. We are preventing people
from being hurt, We are preventing people being offended these
speech codes, and this discrimination agains certain means a good thing.
Is how it happens. Always under the guise of goodness.

(01:23:08):
Do people lose liberty and freedom? That's how it happens.
And then after a certain passage of time, that's when
the powerful forces of government began to enforce the speech
codes with the use of force. But the early stages,
it's very seductive and occurs under the cloak of politeness

(01:23:32):
and fairness and decency all of that. If you are
not thinking right about gender diversity and race diversity, they
will take you aside and retrain you. So this might
sound crazy to a lot of your readers, but college
students should understand it's a similar culture. This is not
the guy that got fired. This is another employee. People

(01:23:55):
have gone out and talk to Google employees and they're
talking and anonymously and it, folks, it's exactly as I suspected.
What's really happening is the erosion of free speech under
the guise of promoting it. What's really happening is the
erosion of diversity under the guise of promoting it. Freedom

(01:24:18):
is being killed off by a virtue of censorship that
is designed to be helpful and to prevent people from
being hurt or offended. And it's being done purposely. It's seductively,
purposely done to get people to willingly sacrifice and concede
their liberty and freedom for some so called common good.

(01:24:41):
It's hideous. It's hideous that it's happening on college campuses.
It's happening i tech places like Google. Yeah, it's so true.
It's a difference between equity and equality. What the new
And by the way, the only difference now is instead
of government being overt about it like universities are and
discriminating against Asians, which they do routinely, and the Supreme

(01:25:01):
Court is going to have to settle that at some point.
Then again, if Biden packs the court, you will have
quotas become the law of the land and the Fourteenth
Amendment equal protection be damned. But the equity, and that's
why they're using that buzzword now, means we get to
discriminate until we get the outcome. We want equality, says

(01:25:21):
that people that similarly situated shall be treated alike. And
that's really the difference. Now, the only big difference is
the corporations are the enforcers of the government policy. Now,
more on EIB when we return. Okay, Ever, since Georgia
tried to move towards honest elections, corporate America has been

(01:25:42):
going nuts over this. Remember these are the same big
businesses that backed and funded BLM, made no mention of Antifa,
made billions off of COVID restrictions, censored people on the internet,
support open border slave labor abroad. How ironic is it
These big businesses demand a minimum wage. Democrats demand them
a minimum wage, but they don't have any restrictions on

(01:26:04):
employing slave labor in China or any place else. Well, sure,
that's a great deal you can if you can farm
out your manufacturing facility to a country that's paying people
fifty cents a day, why wouldn't you be in favor
of a minimum wage here at home? Total fraud by
Democrats and their corporate enforcers. I tell you it's high
time Republicans stop carrying the water for big business in

(01:26:27):
corporate America. They'll never get their support. They are enforcers
of the welfare state. This is not communism, where government
owns the means of production. This is corporatism, almost a
fascistic example of where corporations do the bidding of government
in exchange for oh, I don't know, stadium subsidies, in

(01:26:49):
exchange for open borders, in exchange for no Section two thirty,
for Apple in big tech. That's how corrupt the swamp
is right now. And that's why Trump was such a
threat to it all, why Rush was such a threat
to it all. They're just using racism and voter I
d I'm gonna tell you where it's gonna end. It's

(01:27:09):
gonna end with pure legalized quotas. United Airlines has already
said they plan fifty percent of the next five thousand
pilots they train in the next decade to be women
or people of color. Well, obviously they're racist. They forgot
about transgender I clearly think that somebody out of protest
United over the Delta led the charge. Delta led the

(01:27:32):
charge over boycotting Georgia for a voting law that was
less restrictive than Delaware. This is the insanity in which
we face and It's high time that people start looking
at these corporations and start looking at their fiduciary responsibility
to maximize shareholder profit, not run a woke seminar. And

(01:27:54):
that means that if you're endorsing carpet footprinting, if you're
following the lead of Black Rock or these hedge funds,
and you are minimizing your return for your shareholders instead
of maximizing it, it's lawsuit time, baby, That's what it means.
And it's long overdue because this is insanity, total insanity,

(01:28:16):
and the charge of race is just a ruse to
keep the swamp going. Here's how Rush put at audio fourteen.
This is a tweet NBC News Minneapolis City Council Vice
President Andrea Jenkins. I'm asking my colleagues to declare a
state of emergency declaring racism as a public health issue.

(01:28:39):
I'm asking my colleagues to declare a state of emergency
declaring racism as a public health issue. Until we name
this virus, this disease that has infected America for the
past four hundred years, we will never ever resolve the issue. Now,
what do you think this babe's doing. This babe is

(01:29:02):
absolving herself of any of her responsibilities as a failed
leader by deflecting this off on the country. And what
is this four hundred years business? Four United Sis is
not four hundred years old. So now they're buying into
this New York Times bogus story that the actual founding

(01:29:24):
of America was in sixteen nineteen with the first arrival
of slave ships. I'm asking my colleagues to declare a
state of emergency, declaring racism is a public health issue.
Until we name this virus, the disease that is infected
America the past four hundred years, we will never ever
resolve this issue. So now racism is a virus, It's

(01:29:46):
a disease. When do we work on the vaccine. What
would the vaccine be, what would the treatment be? This
is simply her trying to let herself and her fellow
leaders off the look as having no culpability, no responsibility
whatsoever for any of this. And that's exactly right. That's

(01:30:09):
precisely what happened in the summer of riots last year
in Minnesota, when you had leaders like Senator Tina Smith
saying that we need to and continue the righteous protests
that police they're dangerously wrong with the role police play
in society. Something's dangerously wrong where a city councilwoman from

(01:30:29):
Minneapolis said it was privileged to call the police, And
of course they were all back in Kamala Harris's Minnesota
Freedom Fund to bail out the riders and the looters
and the criminals because they were using race as a
means to keep power. But none of it would go anywhere,
none of it would mean anything if it didn't get

(01:30:50):
the impromoter of the institutional liberalism from churches, from nonprofits,
from corporations, from the media, from government itself, from big
tech who censors the opposition. So we're going we're not
moving towards group think, we're moving towards thought police. And
they know how absurd this garbage is, so they've got

(01:31:13):
to censor people from bringing up the obvious, the obvious
being how do you get to a quality if you
blame people for being born with the wrong skin color?
And that's exactly what they plan to do with preferences
and quotas. That's what United Airlines wants to do, That's
what universities do, That's what the goal here is to do.

(01:31:37):
You know, Thomas Soul the Great Economist wrote a wonderful book,
Migrations and Cultures, in which he wrote, skills have never
been randomly or evenly distributed, but have been highly concentrated,
though concentrated in different places in different countries throughout history.
What does he mean by that? There has never been

(01:31:57):
a situation ever in the history of any place where
the workforce reflects exactly the proportion of the population, be
it gender, be at race, ethnicity, you name it, it
doesn't matter. And the only way to arrive at that
quota is to discriminate. So that is why they're using

(01:32:21):
the term equity and not equality. If you want racial healing,
you treat people the same regardless of their background or
their race. They have no intention of doing that. They
have intentions, a clear intention now of having two standards
of justice for depending on where or what your background is,

(01:32:45):
what your skin color is. Again, when Justice Roberts had
a little bit more of a backbone in the Seattle
Bussing case school district case, he said, the best way
to stop discriminating by race is to stop discriminating by race. Boy,

(01:33:06):
it would be nice to get back to that color
blind society. But these people and the democrat left and
the media left and the corporate wokeism left have zero
intention of getting back to unity or a color blind society.
They want more and more tribalism and division. You got
at the Limball Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, rolls on
with me your guide today and tomorrow. Jason lewis here

(01:33:29):
on EIB. We would get to a call next break,
So hang tight to everybody. We'll get to it at
one eight hundred two eight two to eight eight too.
You know what people are looking for, really, I'm not
even gonna called the right. What the forgotten men and
women of America who have been left behind and censored
and demonized by the cultural liberalism that is this country

(01:33:52):
right now, and as corporate and nonprofit enforcers, we're looking
for backbone. The left can't figure out why Trump resonated,
why Rush resonated backbone. They're looking to somebody to stand
up and say no, it's not right to farm out
slave labor to China. It really is America. First, it's
not right to talk about infrastructure, and then band pipelines

(01:34:14):
or band mining on Minnesota's Iron Range. It's not right.
Democrats do that. They get away with it because the
swamp and the media cover for them. The organizations, the
union leaders, the Minnesota Farm Bureau all too often as
a functioning as an arm of the Democrat Party. You've
got people running environmental regulations and it's their leaders sell

(01:34:35):
them out. So people are looking for backbone on some
of this stuff that they don't think. Equality means representative
Angie Craig of Minnesota, my successor, that doesn't mean ruining
women's sports, which she's trying to do with the Equality
Act by letting biological men compete against women who don't

(01:34:55):
have the endurance and the muscle mass. That is a
fact ruining troying women's athletics. That's the feminist way, Angie
way to go. It's it's total insanity said, but nobody
wants to say anything because they'll be demonized. Well, isn't
it great that the Master's golf tournament If you're a
golfer like Rush was, and I am stood up to

(01:35:16):
this nonsense and said, no, we're not going to follow
Major League Baseball. We actually have a spine. We're not.
We're gonna do what I mean to move the Masters.
Obviously was just a tad counterintuitive given that it's the
Masters because it's in Augusta. But they said we're gonna
honor Lee Elder and Loan behold under the auspices of merit,

(01:35:39):
the first Asian born champion won a great tournament, Adeki
Matsuyama yesterday. It was a great conversation a few years
back when Rush got to talk to his great friend,
mister Masters, Jim Nance. Here's how that went, Jim. Welcome
to the EIB network for the first time. It's really
great to have you here. Well, Rush is the first
time I've talked to you on the air, whereas we've

(01:36:00):
spoken an emailed for a long time for years and
off the air, visited and this is a thrill to
be on the EIB Radio network. Well, it's likewise a
thrill to have you here. So many great things in
this book, Jim, and it's so timely given the royal
circumstances in our culture. Your book and your life, the
relationship with your family, the way you've lived, provide an

(01:36:24):
example to anybody that that's virtuous and still happens in
this country, and that it's rewarded. Jim Nance, Ladies and
gentlemen dreamed when he was a young boy, like all
of us did, of being sportscasters someday. It was more
than a dream. It was almost bordering on an obsession
on those A little bit of a strong word, but
I had this crazy little idea at the age of eleven.

(01:36:46):
I turned to my father watching the Masters Tournament. I
declared it right there on the spot. One day, I
want to be one of those voices. I want to
be there telling the story of that great tournament and
all these championships and sporting events around the world. That's
what I wanted to do. And you've done it. You
became the first broadcaster ever to call the Super Bowl,
the Final Four, and the Masters. Well, you know that

(01:37:09):
was something that no one had ever had the great
fortune of being able to declare during the course of
a career. And I got to do all those events
in two months. It was very special. One of the
things I want to convey to the audience, Jim, is
you know I mentioned this in an email to you
about what we would do here today. This book is
a fantastic thing because you all have watched Jim Nance,

(01:37:30):
and you've heard Jim Nance four twenty three years in
some cases, but you don't know Jim Nance because Jim
Nance is the best at what he does. He never
makes whatever event he's at about him. He always makes
sure that that he brings the event to you. And
this book is an opportunity for people to get to
know you, Jim in a in a personal way. And
I want to tell people, if they ever get a

(01:37:51):
chance to meet you, you are going to be exactly
what they hope you would be from having known you
on television all of these years. And it's you know,
a lot of people meet people in prominent positions, primarily
in media, and they want them to be what they
see on TV here on radio, and oftentimes they're not.
But you are. You're just as genuine and humble in

(01:38:12):
person as you are on the air. You know, my
parents are very humble people. My father was always one
with a curious mind and wanted me to get broader
and wider than just worrying about who was winning a game.
He looked at the world of sports with a romance
in his eyes. He liked to learn about people who
overcame things. He wanted to watch sports to be taken
the places and learn about cultures. You know, back in

(01:38:33):
the wide world of sports days when Jim McCay was
taking us behind the iron curtainer to the Great Wall
of China. He loved that. And that's the way alas
I look at the world of sports. You know, I'm
looking for something with a little more thought. The life lessons, absolutely,
and that's the reason that people had said, Man, you've
got so many interesting people you've met in your life.
You know you want to write a book about some

(01:38:55):
of these events you do. But to me, that's a trip.
That's an ego trip. I wanted to. I wanted to.
If I was going to write something, there had to
be some important messages that would inspire all people. Well,
I'll talk about some of these people that you've met,
because you've met everybody in many realms and they're all
your friends. You say, I have a lot of friends.
I am blessed and I count you as a very
dear friend, and I treasure all my friendships. My father

(01:39:18):
was like that. I opened my shows by saying hello, friends,
and it's really it's a testament. It's a tribute to
my father because all he had in his life were friends,
and you know, he treated everyone with such dignity and
respect from all stations in life. Tell us something about
Tiger Woods. Tell us something about Tiger Woods. We don't know, well, Tiger.
You see the game face, you know, the focused stories

(01:39:39):
about how he's locked in and how he can walk
right past a guy likes in Jack Nicholas, the very man.
He wants to break every record that Jack holds. But
it's this part of this genius that his father instilled
in him at one time, got him beyond the game face,
if you will. He was coming up into my tower
to be interviewed. He graciously accepted, and my daughter Caroline

(01:40:02):
was just five years old at the time, and she
was all excited. She was going to meet the great
Tiger Woods. And I told Tiger on the way up
to the towers, we're climbing the steps, my daughter Caroline's
gonna be up there. She wants to She can't wait
to meet you, Tiger. So we walk in and everyone's
pointing and like giving me the sh She's they're pointing
underneath the chair, so oh, I get it. She's playing
kind of a hide and seek thing here, and she's
just nervous as all kids are about meeting some superstar celebrity.

(01:40:26):
So Tiger instantly breaks into that, you know the game.
He drops his voice down to like a childlike cadence,
and he's saying, I thought I was going to see
Caroline up here. This is why I came. Or Caroline,
where are you? Are you over here? He pushes back
some curtains, No, she's not there, being very theatrical about it,
all the while, of course, knowing she's curled up in

(01:40:47):
a ball underneath this one given cheer and I just thought,
what a wonderful snapshot. You know, if Tiger Woods the
tiger we so seldom get to see because everybody in
the world's trying to get into that world and trying
to get to be a part of his universe. It
was just a lovely impromptu moment. Jim, You've led a
remarkable life. You have one of the most solid foundations

(01:41:07):
of the human being could have. I think it's fabulous
that you've written the book to share that with people,
because it's inspirational. I'm so grateful rush for the time
to talk to you, and you're just a great friend.
Isn't that fantastic? I mean, Jim nance represents the era
of when sportscasters didn't want to be the story and
didn't want to force their way on you. They weren't

(01:41:30):
politicized like they are on ESPN or Jim Gray on Fox.
Everything's political now because they think they can be influencers
or get more followers on Twitter or whatever. Jim Nance
doesn't do that. Nick Faldo doesn't do that. Pat summer
All didn't do that. The old sportcasters of yesteryear, Frank
Gifford and Kurt Goudy, remember Kurt Goudy, the old AFL

(01:41:53):
sports scatter, Aldi, Regattas and Jim Simpson. You go right
down the list. That's what people are looking for in sports,
not lectures. And I tell you except for golf, Except
for golf, that's what you're getting. And they are going
to rue the day because two can play at Boycott's

(01:42:16):
and it's high time we get in the game. But
I tell you that story about Tiger's grade as well,
because I remember watching Tiger in one of these proams
with his kid not long ago, just a couple of
months back before he got injured. You can tell what
a great daddy is in that story from Jim Nance there.
But I missed the old days of yesteryear. Whether you

(01:42:38):
were listening to Kurt Goudy on NBC or Al Michaels
on ABC, or Frank Gifford on CBS, or Summer All
and Ken vent Turrey did PGA golf for years and
now it's Nance and Faldo. Wonderful backups or wonderful back
to back sportscasting teams. That's what makes things enjoyable and

(01:42:58):
escaping life and the travails of life. Now it's all politics,
and you know what, that's abusing your platform. I don't
think you know what the hell you're talking about, and
I don't want to listen to you, even if I
thought you did. Back after this on the Excellence in
Broadcasting Network. Oh man, oh man, I almost forgotten my

(01:43:18):
favorite sportscaster of yester year. Speaking of sportscasters, the first
play by play man on Monday Night Football. You all
think that's Frank Gifford. Oh no, o contrere, It was
actually who Nelli? Keith? Remember him? That? Keith Jackson, mister
Cottage Football, Keith Jackson, ABC, Cottage Football. Wolly. He was great.

(01:43:40):
I'm telling you he was great and not an ounce
of politics and any of his broadcasts. Imagine that sports
are you know I'll tell you something. Sports are getting
like late night comedians. They're becoming a bore of lectures.
They're not funny and it's not entertaining. At some point
they better get They better get get religion before they

(01:44:01):
drive away every last fan. They need more people like
Jim Nance as Russia interviewed their momentary one eight hundred
two A two to eight eight two. That's one eight
hundred two eight two to eight eight two. You know,
last week we started something new here where ending every
program on what we call the EIB High Note, so
nod to rush and eternal belief in the power of

(01:44:23):
ordinary people doing great things. And today's high note is
about good Deeds Day that was yesterday, April eleventh. Started
as one woman's idea in Israel in two thousand and seven,
now spread to one hundred and eight countries, with millions
of people joining together without government telling them what to do,
to volunteer and do acts of kindness and make great
changes in the world. This year's theme was reconnecting with

(01:44:45):
lots of good deeds, focused on the elderly, which have
been so isolated. To see what different countries did yesterday,
including the United States, head over to Rush Limball dot com.
That's Rush Limball dot com. It is still there right
now in Allentown, Stephen, thanks for waiting. You're on EIB Yes,

(01:45:11):
go ahead, doing an admirable job of filling in for
mister Limbaugh. Thank you, sir, And I hope everything's good
in Saint Paul. Well, we're doing our best. It is
occupied territory, you know. Well, thank god it's springtime at last. Yeah, springtime.
Thank he's going to snow tomorrow. We call that a
warming trend, exact exactly. Um, you know what Rush had

(01:45:37):
the ability to harness common sense, which if you look
at Washington, DC at all, you understand is in very
short supply you have, you know, President Biden, and God
bless him. I wouldn't wish Alzheimer's on anyone, but he's
not playing with a full deck of cards, so I

(01:45:58):
kind of give him. We don't know, we don't know
what what his coherence problems are, so let's not speculate there.
But I think it's fair to say that. But it's
not as sharp as he used to be. Harris. No,
he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. No, he
never was, though you know he was always a bloviator.
He's the guy that demagogue Robert Borke, then he demagogue

(01:46:20):
Clarence Thomas. No one should be surprised that Joe Biden
is playing the race card now. No, what I am
surprised at is Harris, who appears to be cognitively functioning
at a normal rate with her you know, um burned

(01:46:41):
down cities. They should not stop, they will not stop. Ye,
what is the Minnesota Freedom Fund to bail out the
criminals fluters in the wake of the riots? That was
Kamala Harris promoting them. How do you How does the
person like that look from themselves in the mirror at
night and not be totally embarrassed. Well, let me tell you,

(01:47:06):
I can't reach into the inner recesses of the liberal left.
I do think they're perpetually adolescent. I mean, that's the
best explanation I've ever I can come up with for liberals.
They are stuck in a juvenile mode. I remember when
I was serving in Congress. I used to be greeted
at the airport and elsewhere on my own property with protesters,

(01:47:27):
and they were like children, but they were forty and
fifty years old. Look at Twitter, these are adolescents, but
I don't care what drives them. I care about defeating them.
And we're not for corporate America, nonprofit America, liberal churches,
and the media. They wouldn't last a New York minute,
but they get cover. And that is the existential crisis

(01:47:51):
that we better fix and soon. Hey, thanks for colling, Stephen.
Let's squeeze in Viki. She's in Shoreview, Minnesota, not far
from here. Vicky, thanks for waiting, Thanks for calling. Thank you.
It's good to hear your voice, very familiar and rational
pre eleven. I love it. So I'm calling today to
say I wing to invite everyone to join Minnesota. UM,

(01:48:15):
if you're blue, prove it. We're put in blue parchlights
and decorating our house and blue lights to support our police,
our father's sons, brothers, daughters, and neighbors. And we'd like
to invite everyone in America and your own communities to
let us glow throughout Tima. What do you think is

(01:48:37):
going to happen if the if the Floyd verdict doesn't
go exactly has some folks want it to go, Well,
it's not gonna go as every any folks want it
to go. I mean, I think there's two rational probably
jurors on there and maybe well, what do you think's
going to happen in the city, quickly, what do you

(01:48:58):
think is gonna happen in the city. Oh, we're in trouble.
We were in trouble sight in Brooklyn Park. We're in trouble, Vicky.
I gotta run. But thanks so much for waiting. Appreciate
the call and put that blue light out. I couldn't
you know, if you want to see what chaos is,
keep undercutting the police. Folks back on the EIB network
after this. Hey, don't forget everybody. Rush twenty four seven
