Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush Limbough Show podcast,
and thank you Johnny Donovan. Wonderful to be here with
you on this beautiful Monday across the greatest nation, the
greatest country in the world. I am Brett winterbal And
this week marks Biden's first one hundred days. This Thursday,

(00:23):
one hundred days for President Biden, or as I've been
thinking about it lately, I've been thinking about I can't
believe it's only been one hundred days. It feels so
much longer. From the border chaos to the remaking fundamental
transformation of the economy and all of that. I just
it's absolutely stunning. It is. It is an absolutely stunning

(00:45):
thing to behold and guess what the polls understand that
you don't like it. It's starting to be reflected in
the polls, and as we know, the all mighty highest
authority in all of the world of politics, as always
the polls. You look at the numbers out there, people

(01:09):
well they think he's okay on COVID, but everything else,
he's basically underwater. Really, it's it's incredible to look at
these poll numbers for President Biden and the Biden Harris administration.
There is an eighty one point gap on approval President
Biden between Democrats who think he's ninety five percent awesome

(01:29):
and Republicans who think he's fourteen percent awesome. That's even
wider than the seventy six point partisan gap for the
president back in April of twenty seventeen. That president was
Donald Trump, but Joe ran as a uniter. Joe ran
as a guy who could get things done across the aisle.
Look at what's happening on the border. By a thirty

(01:53):
one point margin, voters are saying border securities worse than
it was two years ago. Fifty six percent, a majority
thinks Biden winning the election is completely or mostly behind
the increase of migrants at the United States Southern border,
and sixty seven percent are extremely or very concerned about

(02:13):
illegal immigration. On the economy two to one negative. Twenty
nine percent regard the economy as excellent or good. Sixty
nine percent say fair or poor. It's little changed since
the end of the Trump term when it was thirty
three sixty six. But remember in January twenty twenty, before
the pandemic set in, fifty five percent rated economic conditions positively.

(02:39):
Joe Biden is supposedly triumphed when it comes to the
to what it is that's happening with coronavirus in the rollout,
but it's not translating in the poll numbers to the
broader issues. In fact, it was the House Minority Leader
Kevin McCarthy of California on Sunday it characterized these first

(03:00):
one hundred days as a bait and switch. What was
the bait that Joe Biden would govern as a bipartisan
but the switches he's governing like a socialist. McCarthy says
he's not had a single meeting with the president in
the first one hundred days. Rush talked about the mythical

(03:21):
one hundred days of the Obama administration. I'd like to
refer to it, my friends, as finals week, and according
to me, and I have put together a list of
things that I have noted since the outset of this administration.
I have just put a list here together in no
particular order, just off the top of my head of

(03:45):
the things that this administration that have stood out to
me since it began. Admiral Blair admitting the CIA received
high value life saving information from terrorists while President Obama
is condemning the same arrogance interrogations as immoral and counterproductive.

(04:09):
President Obama is throwing and has thrown Grand White House
parties with Kobe Beef a hundred bucks a pound while
telling the nation to cut back in order to survive
the greatest economic downturn supposedly since the Great Depression. Bowing
to the King of Saudi Arabian listening patiently and respectfully

(04:33):
while a two bit dictator lectures Obama was Daniel Ortega
with false charges for fifty minutes about the criminal country
he leads, and Obama doesn't say one word to object,
one word in disagreement, does not stand up for his country.
At one point during the Summit of the Americas, he

(04:54):
has run around the world and apologized for the greatest,
the most compassionate, the most innovative, even freedom loving country
in world history. We had the nomination of tax cheats
to his cabinet, including the man who oversees the irs
five tax cheats. In the Obama administration, we have Obama's

(05:15):
joke of a press spokesman who makes a complete idiot
of himself on a daily basis. He sends back a
symbol of freedom that bust of Sir Winston Churchill to
Great Britain just after moving into the White House. He
wants nothing to do with it. He did it of
his own volition. They said you can keep it. Said no,

(05:36):
we don't want it here. They said, put it in
a different room of the White we don't want it here,
and send it back to the British Embassy. Was given
to US President Bush after nine to eleven by the Brits.
He insulted the Prime Minister of England the Queen of England,
with embarrassing, thoughtless gifts. We have the French president Sarkozy

(05:58):
ridiculing Mama's messianic complex, inviting him to walk on water
at Normandy Beach. We have Iran taking a hostage and
American journalist as Obama promises better relations. We have North
Korea humiliating Obama with their missile launch. We have Obama

(06:21):
putting the country in debt for generations to come, while
promising fiscal responsibility, offering up laughable budget cuts, banning lobbyists
from his administration while appointing them left and right, openly
lying that Caterpillar would hire up with the passage of

(06:42):
his stimulus bill, then watching while that company lays off thousands.
After the stimulus bill passes, he pledges to close the
prison at Guantanamo Bay, where I have a thriving merchandise business,
but then he keeps it open, no plan for its future,

(07:02):
proclaiming total transparency while keeping secret who got the TARP funds, when, where, why?
Being incapable of communicating without a teleprompter while the press
declares him a Reaganesque great communicator, he attacks a private
citizen broadcaster from the White House as part of an
orchestrated plan to distract the country from legislation and policies

(07:26):
we don't want, which thus touched off a political firestorm.
All of this while claiming to be a unifier. He
makes a ham handed attempt to nationalize the banks, preventing
financial institutions from paying back TARP money they don't need
or want. He has made bad situations worse with car manufacturers,
and the worst is yet to come. He has sparked

(07:50):
hundreds of protests involving hundreds of thousands of Americans at
tea parties regarding irresponsible government spending, while his Homeland Security
labels peacefully demonstrating Americans and veterans as security risks. Oh yeah,
moving the census over to the Commerce Department to politicize that.

(08:11):
I mean, this administration has been one part joke, one
part unbelievable, one part and many parts scary because while
all this has gone on, this man is reported upon
and reported to be the best president we've ever had,

(08:32):
a shining light, a beacon historical figure. His foundation is leftist,
he identifies with anti American politics. He laughs, he yucks
it up with these people who hate our country. Sorry, folks,
it's just tough to stomach, tough to deal with on
a daily basis. It's incredible because Rush took great notes

(08:56):
on Obama's presidency every day, and I can only imagine
Russia's notes that he's making up above right now on
President Biden's first one hundred days and what they include
the Associated press it runs an absolutely fawning breakdown. It's
it's it's embarrassing to read it. I almost had to

(09:16):
read it under the covers in the dark with a flashlight,
so fearful was I that I was going to be
outed for reading this thing. Biden's first one hundred days
where he stands on key promises and you go through
this and they break it down by subject. Climate change,
he's made four. He's made seven promises, he's kept four.
What are the four? Taking executive actions to reduce greenhouse

(09:39):
gas emissions? That's nothing. Rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. Okay,
support an amendment to the Montreal Protocol to curb hydrofluorocarbons.
So that's just to support an amendment and to convene
a World Climate summit. Yeah, a zoom call where he
was the only guy wearing mask in the shot. On

(10:02):
the economy and taxes, well, he's kept four of five promises.
Extended a pause on student loan payments. Okayed, pandemic economic relief,
reviewed the US supply chain for vulnerabilities and key sectors,
and has taken steps to strengthen quote by American measures.

(10:22):
The only one left is to raise corporate taxes. Oh wait,
that's gonna have to be on legislatively. It goes on
and on and on. On gun control, he's over four.
He has partially met the desire to send Congress a
gun control bill which will be rapidly rejected. Reauthorized Violence
Against Women's Act, and to commission an Attorney General report

(10:45):
on restructuring agencies to most effectively enforced gun laws. And
then on health, he's kept five of eight promises, mandating
masks on federal property, rejoining the World Health Organization, support
a hundred mass vaccination centers, vaccinate one hundred million Americans,
deploy mobile vaccination clinics. Everything he's done has been for show,

(11:11):
and it's cost us tons of dough and this is
not the way to go. I'm Brett Wittable, your guide
host today on the Russia Lambos Show on the EIB Network.
And i am Brett Wittable, your guide host today on
the EIB Network on the Wrestling Boss Show. So we
have a big speech coming up later this week. President
Biden is going to do what's essentially the fill in

(11:33):
for a State of the Union address, So it's not
the State of the Union address, it's a it's a
joint address to Congress, and the Senate will be there,
the House will be there, and they'll be listening to
all these big ideas that President Biden has to roll out.
And one of the biggest, maybe the biggest, potentially dangerous
idea that he's going to roll out, is this capital

(11:55):
gains tax hike. This thing is monstrous. We're talking about
a capital gain tax hike so serious and severe that
it caused the doubt a plummet last week. At the
end of the week, he wants to raise taxes on
millionaire investors to fund education and other spending priorities as
part of an effort to overhaul the US economy. Biden

(12:19):
will also seek an increase in the tax on capital
gains to thirty nine point six percent for those Americans
earning more than one million dollars, and reports are saying
that the President will release that proposal formally as this
week unfolds as part of the to Fund the American
Families Plan. So we're looking at a massive tax hike,

(12:41):
a massive insane tax hike at a time that we
really don't need that. Well, Rush talked about capital gains
or the my on the spot analysis of the Democrat
debate from twenty nineteen. What you do is you raise
the capital gains tax if it is obscene that rich
people who make their money investing get such a small
tax rate compared to people who are working for their money. Now,

(13:05):
there are people who do nothing but play stock market.
That's how they earn their money. They sit there and
they trade stocks, and they try to trade in a
way that makes them a lot of money, and on
capital gains appreciated stock stock that you buy and it
ain't gains well for gains value and money. The capital
gains rate fifteen and eighteen. I forget what it is
he wants to raise that because it just isn't fear.

(13:27):
It's not fear it people who don't work, so it
have a little rate where people who are working pay more,
and lowering the capital gains rate is what results in
unforeseen amounts of money pouring into the country's treasury. But
no matter how you slice it, these people want to

(13:47):
start raising taxes. They get into guilt trips about having
money and being rich and agreeing that they're not paying
enough in taxes. It's just it becomes tiresome. It's worn out,
nothing new, nothing but guilt over having been successful, and
a promise to get rid of the success, get rid
of the wealth. They promise to make the rich pay

(14:10):
their face. If you talk about a tired, worn out
cliche that the rich aren't paying their fair share, when
the top one percent is paying almost fifty percent the
entire tax burden. Now, when you look at the arguments
that are being laid out by not just Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris, but at the Treasury Department level, where
you've got Janet Yellen going around the world attempting to

(14:33):
cobble together an agreement with all these other countries that
there will not be any of these other nations out
there that will undercut everybody else in terms of tax rates. Right,
So we're gonna have a twenty eight percent core pro tax.
Let's just make sure everybody gets together and colludes. Remember
when collusion was a big word. Well, they're gonna say,

(14:54):
we're just gonna get all these countries together and we're
just gonna agree nobody goes below twenty eight percent. Are
we all in agreement here? No, but he goes below
twenty eight percent. So you take this discussion that's happening
in the United States today, and this is important to
understand because money, money is fungible, and money will flow
to the places it is respected and valued. You're not

(15:18):
going to go and invest in a country that's got
a fifty percent tax rate or a hundred percent capital gains. Right,
You're gonna say, I'm not going to that country. I
don't want to put any money in that guy, I
want nothing to do with it. I'm gonna go where
there's blue skies and I can make money and I
can make a profit on my money and all that
sort of stuff. So you have Yelling going around and deciding, Okay,

(15:39):
let's collude with all these countries to agree to a
minimum corporate tax rate so that no company can go
find a greener pasture someplace else. So there's no escape,
there's no escape at all. Then you have President Biden
talking about raising the capital gains tax rate as Russia

(16:00):
explained brilliantly. Right, that's that's the appreciation, and then you
get hit for that difference, and Biden wants to take
it to like forty percent. Basically, we're talking about a
massive amount of money getting drained out of the market.
Remember what I said, Money will go to the place
it's respected. If you're treated poorly as a customer, you're

(16:20):
not going to go back to that restaurant or back
to that bar, or back to that store. Well, money
behaves in the same way investor. Investors behave in the
same way. And investors are the evil class of people, right,
That's what we're supposed to believe the investors are evil. No,
the investors fund because you're investing your money in a
four oh one k or an IRRA or some other

(16:42):
fund that you're using. Or you're an individual investor who
got a great inheritance and you want to you want
to use that to invest What is that fuel? That
fuel's innovation. Biden and Harris and Pelosi and Schumer think
that the only innovation that can get funded is is
if you use government dollars up into a sector, the
green sector, the cylinders of the world, that sort of stuff.

(17:06):
That's the way you build wealth. Nonsense. Where was the
government money that went into Google or Apple? Where was
the government money that went into a Snapchat? That went
into all this sudden These are investors who pont it
up money and said, yeah, I think that Instagram thing
might work. I want to be a part of that.
I want to buy a piece of that. Why do
you think people were running a bitcoin because they want

(17:27):
they want to put their money someplace where the government
doesn't have an easy time grabbing it. And so the
consequence of all this is is you're going to have
what less innovation, the stock market will not climb the
way it has. All of that is going to be
a huge challenge. These are the same politicians in Biden
and Harris and Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and the whole

(17:48):
lot of them, who are all fabulously wealthy. These are
not people selling pencils on a corner. These are people
who have made their millions and billions, right. These are
people who are doing very very well for themselves. So
who is really being targeted. It's not going to be
the rich Wall Street fat cat with the hedge funds.

(18:10):
It's not gonna be that guy. And it's not going
to be poor people because poor people I'm directly impacting,
you know, poor people because they're they're not plowing a
bunch of money into investments. It's going to be what
they call the strivers, those people that are climbing up
the ladder, those people that are trying to become the
next Jeff Bezos or or the next Elizabeth Warren or

(18:32):
the next Hunter Biden. With all this wealth, That's that's
who's going to end up getting hurt is the striver class,
the people who stay up late and chart their path forward,
who are trying to get funding for their companies. This
will hurt venture capital. This is going to hurt a
whole lot of stuff out there because people are gonna say,

(18:52):
I'm not going to invest in this. I'm gonna take
my investment and I'm gonna go to Singapore, I'm gonna
go into Southeast Asia. I'm gonna go over into the
Middle East where they'll respect my money. That's a fundamentally
dangerous thing that we've got going on here, folks. This
is a fundamentally dangerous approach. And what this is is

(19:14):
an attempt to corral you by getting that minimum possible
corporate tax rate around the world so you have nowhere
to go. It's got the policy practical effect of putting
you up against the wall, holding you against the wall
with one hand while taking your wallet out with your other.
Because capital gains aren't just stocks and hedge funds or
any of that. Their houses, their real estate, their property,

(19:38):
their businesses, they're things of value you might want to sell.
You have a right to keep your things, and you
have a right to profit off of your things. Government
wasn't there with you when you took the risk. Government
doesn't deserve a piece of it right now. Brett Witterbill
on the EIB network. We have heard some massive absurdities

(20:01):
coming from the FBI and the last number of years.
I mean, we only have to go back to the
to the Russia investigation to hear the lunacy and the
conspiracy stuff that they floated into. But this may take
the cake. This may be the single worst blunder maybe
in modern FBI history. Did you see this story from

(20:25):
from last week. If you didn't, you need to know
about it. Remember the Congressional baseball shooter. That's right that
summer of twenty seventeen when the Congressional the Republicans were
out practicing at their ballfield prepping for the congressional baseball game. Well,
brad Winstrip is a Republican from Ohio, and he revealed

(20:47):
an utterly shocking fact when that deranged leftist James Hodgkinson
open fire on the Congressional Republicans in twenty seventeen, nearly
killing Steve Scalise from Louisiana, the whip, the GOP whip.
The FBI has ruled the shooting a suicide by cop.
Even FBI agents disputed the ruling and went Strip said, no,

(21:09):
that's that's what they did. They've they've defined it as
a suicide by cop, despite the fact that the law
enforcement officers that were there, we're in plain clothes, so Hodgkinson.
Hodgkinson brought a rifle. One hundred and thirty six rounds
were fired. He attempted to assassinate you know, twenty five
members of the US Congress, including the Whip and the

(21:32):
FBI comes back and says, well, now we think this
was suicide by cop. He wanted to die. He was desperate.
He wanted to die at the hands of the police,
even though nobody knew that there were plain clothed cops
there to protect Steve Scalise because he was a leader
in the party. It makes no sense. It's crazy. Well,

(21:53):
Rush Rush talked about this. Bernie Sanders told his Facebook
followers to fight back and unprecedented against Republicans who want
to kill people. Bernie Sanders did a Facebook appearance last
night in which after the shooting of Scalise and others,
Bernie Sanders is back at it, encouraging his supporters to

(22:16):
act in unprecedented ways, to fight back in every which
way they can. You talk about tone deaf, or you
talk about having no concern about any of this. We
talk about fueling the fire and throwing gasoline on at
Bernie Sanders has come along and done that, and he's

(22:37):
gonna make it very tough. You know, hit all these
people stand up. I'm not going to hold Bernie Sanders
responsible for what that shooter did. Well, Bernie is making
the case that he might want to be linked to
the guy even more closely than he already is. This
is Bernie Sanders. Remember now, James Hodgkinson was Bernie's biggest

(22:58):
Facebook fan. When you read what Hodgkinson wrote to letters
to the editor, when you read some of his other
posts on Facebook, it's clear that he was inspired by
the words of Bernie Sanders. Nah, nobody's accusing Bernie Sanders
of pulling the trigger. But I'll tell you, folks, I

(23:18):
hate this one way street stuff. You know, whether editors
a mass shooting anywhere, the left wing in their minds
justified to start blaming anybody on the right for things
they've done or said that nobody's ever seen. And yet
when there is perhaps a genuine linkage here between this
guy's mental state and media personalities and Democrat politicians, we

(23:42):
can't go there. No, no, no, very irresponsible, you can't
do that. Well, maybe we can't. You can though, on
the other end, and then people say rush, this is
not the way to fight this. This is just going
to continue to divide. I'm sorry, folks, it is the
way to fight it. They've got to be called out,
they have got to be you know, us turning the
other cheek. Here has been going on for I don't
know how many years, and it isn't solving anything, and

(24:05):
it isn't changing anything. In the meantime, our culture continues
to be debased, Our politics can everything. These people are
politicizing virtually everything now, debasing everything, and it's got to stop.
And helping stop it requires being honest of what's happened.
So here's Bernie. During a Facebook live event last night,
he and Elizabeth Warren, the Folkahantas senator from Massachusetts, took

(24:29):
questions from viewers and during the Q and A, one
of the viewers named Mary said, Senator Sanders, how do
we fight or stand up to stop this proposed healthcare bill?
How do we get an examined, how do we stop it?
How can a citizens stop this bill in the Senate?
What can we do? When I talk about a political revolution,
this is what I'm talking about it. We got to

(24:50):
stand up and fight back. We have got to be
involved in the political process in a way that we
have never been before. Because what is happening now in
Washington is unprecedented. So you have got to Mary act
in an unprecedented way. Think big, get involved in every
way that you can. So Mary, stand up and fight

(25:10):
back in every way that you can. I know, is
this tone deaf or is this just arrogance? I mean,
what is it? I mean we're always being told that
we need to practice more sensitivity. Well, where's the sensitivity here?
Congressmen's Scalise is still in the hospital, undergoing continued treatment,

(25:33):
maybe even more surgeries, is improving and so forth. A
number of other people were shot, and here's Bernie arguably
throwing more gasoline on the fire. After Bernie made that
statement that he and Folka Hottas continued to discuss it.
Thousands of people will die. There's no question in my
mind what kind of crazy world was Our Republican colleagues

(25:55):
are so cowardly, are so frightful that the American people
will learn in their legislation. They refuse to have one hearing,
one open discussion about it. I think it's beyond cowardly.
They know which side their bread is buttered on. They
know what the Koch brothers want them to do. This
is unbelievable. You have an unbalanced person like James Hodgkinson

(26:17):
and he's driving around him. He's already filled with rage,
and he's already filled with hatred, he's already filled with
self loathing. The guy's got personal problems in his life.
He can't control himself. He's undisciplined, he beats up people
in his family. He is constantly enraged because that's where
his party has put him. That's where the media has

(26:40):
put him. The media puts him at rage and keeps
him there, and Bernie Sanders comes along, a thousands of
people will die. This is a recurring theme of the
Democrats and the media that Republican policies are going to
kill people. And we're told we're the ones that need
to moderate to we're the ones that need to tone

(27:02):
it down, We're the ones that need to keep a
sense of balance. This claim about Republican policy has been
made about the budget, about school lunch cuts that were phantom,
that were never there. The Republicans have been accused of
wanting to kill senior citizens, of wanting to kill women,

(27:25):
of wanting now to kill sick people. Thousands of people
will die. Sorry. That is the epitome of irresponsibility. It
is dangerous when you consider how many untold, thousands of
loyal Democrats are running around out there in a state

(27:46):
of mental imbalance, teetering on the edge, and they continue
to be told that not just a political party, but
all the people that vote for that party are out
to kill them, are out to destroy them. This is
hand in hand when I was talking about yesterday, Bernie

(28:07):
Sanders cannot enter the arena of ideas in debate, he
will lose. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, none of them can
enter the arena of ideas and actually debate their ideas.
They can't defend their ideas. Their ideas don't stand a
chance if they are put forth and people are actually

(28:27):
voting on them. So the Democrats have to destroy the
credibility and the character and the lives of their opponents.
This is their primary political weapon, motive opportunity. You saw
one hundred and thirty six rounds fired, and the FBI
at the end of all of that says it was

(28:48):
suicide by cop. It was suicide by cop. Makes you
wonder what's going on over at the FBI. Well, I
can tell you this. You can take the guesswork out
of what your cell phone bill will be next month.
Get the cell phone service that Rush suggested, Pure Talk.
They have a thirty dollars a month plan, unlimited talk,
unlimited text, and six gigs of data every month. That's

(29:11):
likely more than you'll need for just thirty dollars a month,
and if you go over, they don't charge you the difference.
Compare that to your current service, and your family might
save eight hundred dollars or more each year. Rush explained
it to us this way, Hey, folks, there's one sure
bet that you can make this year, and that is
you're going to use your cell phone more than you

(29:31):
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 people in this audience are switching their cell phone
service from one of the big providers to Pure Talk.

(29:52):
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 gigs of data. Now you compare that monthly
price thirty bucks a month to your current cell phone bill.

(30:13):
Just compare it your current cell phone bill. I would
I would say 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 onlimited text six gigs of data.
Now here's the real icing on the KEG. Pure Talk

(30:34):
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. From your cell phone, do this,
dial pound two fifty and say pure Talk get started.

(30:56):
You'll say fifty percent off your first month. That's pound
two five and say pure Talk. Just pick up your
phone running pound two five and say pure Talk. Guess what.
Somebody from there will answer and you're offered running great
great service. Coming up next on the Russia Limbosch show,

(31:17):
The House passes DC Statehood. I'm Brett Woterble Your Guide
host today on the EIB Network, and I am Brett
Woodbole here on the EIB Network The Russia Limbosch Show
Your Guide host today. The House of Representatives for the
second time has passed a DC statehood bill. It's a
second time they've passed this thing out. It is going

(31:39):
to head up to the Senate, which has a slimmest
of slim majorities for the Democratic Party with the Kamala
Harris being the tie breaking vote. Look, the reality is
these these folks over on the left, they're going for it.
They are they are going for it. That Rush Rush
talked about all this and their approach in this cult action.

(32:01):
Marik von Rennencomp, State Department analyst at Obama regime appointee
at the Defense Department, in an op ed for The Hill,
this guy's calling for Democrats to stop being cowards and
to teach Republicans a lesson. If the Republicans dare confirm
a Supreme Court justice for the vacancy caused by rbg's passing,

(32:22):
Von rennencomp says that the Democrats must take off the
gloves and use fearmongering to whip up their base. He says,
the Democrats must immediately impeach Trump again, this time on
the pretext that Trump supposedly begged the Chai Coom president
to help with his reelection. The Democrats have to hold hearings,

(32:44):
they have to flood the zone with anti Trump witnesses,
he says. The Democrats should also grant Puerto Rico and Washington,
d C. Statehood so they can seize control of the
US Senate, mindstalling four new Democrats senators in perpetuity. The
Democrat should also give big blue states like Knife Wadna
more political power than states like Wyoming, which contribute nothing

(33:07):
to our economy, he says, and the Democrats should enact
what he calls an ultra constitutional war on gun ownership
in a second amendment. And to top it off, the
Democrats should stack the Supreme Court by adding seat. Now
think about this. Maurice von Rennenkamp is a mainstream Democrat.

(33:27):
He was a high level Obama regime of pointee, perfect
example of tyrants in waiting running the deep state, which
Democrats claim doesn't exist. While this guy is out proving
any right here. And now, I mean, look, here's the
thing taking the gloves off. What would taking the gloves off.

(33:48):
Look like I'd say you've seen a pretty good example
of the gloves coming off from this party and the
way they try to fight, stack in the court, pack
in the court, all that sort of stuff. And in
this next hour we're gonna we're gonna get into this
war on policing. Let me start by going out to
the phones quickly to Jerry and Bingham to New York. Jerry,
Welcome to the show. What's on your mind? Sir? Well, Uh,

(34:10):
I have a two problems with some of the people
being interviewed on radio today with saying that policeman should
start shooting people in the leg or in the arm
and just wounding them instead of quote killing them. Policeman,
first of all, are not trained. And I speak because

(34:30):
I'm a retired policeman, so I speak with some authority.
Policemen are not trained to wound. We're we're trained to
eliminate a threat. We're not trained to wound. We're not
trained to kill. We're trained to eliminate a threat. Appointing
in fact, is that a person with a knife is

(34:53):
standing fifteen or more feet away from a policeman with
his gun drawn, aimed at the person. That policeman stands
a better chance of being killed by that man charging him.
Even though he shoots him, he's still going to get
to him. And if he wants to kill the policeman. Yes, sir,
policemen are not trained. Marchman. Uh, it's it's very hard

(35:16):
to to to hidden an object in Most gunfights actually
occur within within three to four feet with police involved,
and you never know how you're going to react. First
of all, but even in that distance, police and other
people miss all the time. More Shopper missed that distance

(35:39):
than than made. So to say it's ludicrous, just great
the policeman should be shooting people to wound them. It's
a look, it's a it's a great point. You're raise
and thank you so much for your service in helping
to keep your community safe. There. As law enforcement officer,
you know better than anybody. And I'd be willing to
bet the vast majority of these people opining on how

(36:01):
the police should do their jobs have never even gone
on a ride along with law enforcement. You can do
it as a citizen. I just wonder how many of
them would be willing to do. I'm Brett Winterble, your
guide host today, on the EIB Network. Brett winterbole In
on the EB Network as your Guide host today, thinking
about that call we just took from Binghamton, New York.

(36:23):
The idea of coming in and second guessing and rethinking
how it is law enforcement officers, men and women are
supposed to go about the business of policing. Really, the incredible,
the incredible story from late last week at a Columbus,
Ohio illustrates the point in a way that really, I
don't think could be illustrated in any better way, and

(36:46):
that was you have a law enforcement officers show up
on the scene and take action that saves a young
person's life because they were about to be stabbed by
another young person. And it's a tragic outcome. It's a
tragic story. You don't want to see anybody lose their life.
But that officer saved a life. So now you have

(37:07):
erected another barrier between not just law enforcement in the community,
but you have erected another barrier in the decisiveness of
a law enforcement officer showing up in a chaotic scene
and making a decision to preserve life. Now he has
to rethink that. He has to say, wait a minute,
maybe I shouldn't have saved a life, and he has

(37:28):
to grapple with that feeling it's profoundly unfair to these
law enforcement officers, men and women. Another great hours straight
ahead on brettitable ib Network. Wonderful to be here this
afternoon and thrilled to be spending this time with you.
The debate about policing in the United States of America

(37:49):
continues to rage on and people from all different sides
are coming at this challenge with a whole variety of
different solutions. But if we take the fifty thousand foot
view for a quick second at the landscape across this country,
one thing is is pretty clear. There is a population
of people, and I don't believe it's as large as

(38:10):
it's made out to be, but there is a population
of people who just don't like law enforcement. They're they're
just in opposition to what it is that law enforcement
officers do. And law enforcement doesn't necessarily just mean the
local cop on the beat or the state trooper. Let's
be honest here. There has been a war on law

(38:33):
enforcement for a very long time, waged in a number
of different ways. During the border crisis that took place
in twenty eighteen, you had the absolute vilification of men
and women serving there in the border patrol customs, in
border patrol ice, what have you. These were people who

(38:55):
are committed to stopping human trafficking, drugs, smuggling guns, smuggling art, theft,
whatever it is that they that they are responsible for,
and they were they were reviled, they were called Nazis.
I remember watching Tom Holme and the acting chiefs that
they're and have to answer those questions from from the
representatives there in the in the committee hearings, and he

(39:16):
would talk about finding, you know, dozens of people dead
in the back of a tractor trailer truck who were
being smuggled into the United States, and how would broke
his heart to see that law enforcement officers do a
job nobody would ever want to do. By and large,
if I didn't tell you it was being a police officer,
but instead just describe to you the duties and responsibilities

(39:40):
and the current station in life in our social culture,
nobody would take that job. They wouldn't take that job
for ten times the money that the police officers, the
men and women are taking right now. It is about
public service and in a country that's got you know,
well north of a million law enforcement professionals, especially when

(40:00):
you work in the retired men and women, you realize
very quickly, very quickly, that this is a thankless job.
That you're always going to be said as being done wrong, wrongly,
and that's unfortunate. That's unfortunate because we have the case
of Machea Bryant in Coumbus, Ohio. There's a case moving
now out of Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Pascatank County is

(40:26):
going to be coming out. It'll be a big story
in the coming hours and days of an officer involved shooting.
But one person that I would always have thought like
really kind of understood this because she was a chief
of police in Orlando, Florida, and that would be Florida
Congresswoman Val Deming. She's a Democrat. She was one of

(40:47):
the impeachment managers, I think in the first impeachment of
Donald Trump. She was an impeachment manager. She was the
chief of police in Orlando, Florida. She was on CBS's
Face the Nation she said this about the police shooting
of Machea Bryant in Columbus, Ohio. The limited information that
I know and viewing the video it appears that the
officer responded as he was trained to do, with the

(41:09):
main thought of preventing a tragedy and a loss of
life of the person who was about to be assaulted.
So that's a pretty big explanation, and it's direct, and
it's coming from somebody who knows about policing, who knows
about those responsibilities to preserve life, to preserve innocent life,

(41:31):
to protect and serve the public. In fact, truth be told.
On my own show, I thought that val Demings might
have actually been an effective choice for vice president for
President Biden to pick because she understands law enforcement. If
you look at the current vice president and Kamala Harris,
she was a district attorney and an AG but doesn't

(41:54):
really show any kind of interest or desire to get
into the meat and potatoes of law enforcement itself, which
is exhibited by her inability to even get to the
border and cites COVID as the issue. But val Deming's,
I think, with a terrific explanation. But none of this
is new, none of this is unexpected. This is how

(42:14):
absolutely expected, and in fact, Rush talked about the cops
being in the crosshairs just a reminder to every police
officer in this country. You are being watched, and I'm
very serious about this. You cops had better keep a
sharp eye because the powers that be are looking to

(42:38):
find another cop they're can accuse of racial assassination and
railroad indict and convict. Police officers in this country are
in dangerous jobs, at great risk right now because they
have a target on them. They have a bull's eye

(42:59):
that is being painted as being drawn by the highest
positions of power in this country. It's a very dangerous circus,
very dangerous situation taking place here, folks, and the cops
right now are in the crosshairs of the most powerful
forces in this country. They fail to get what they

(43:22):
wanted in Ferguson, They're gonna find a way, didn't really
get what they wanted out of Florida and white Hispanic
George Zimmerman and all. And they didn't get what they
wanted in the Duke Lacrosse case. They really want a
win and the cops are the focus, the target for

(43:43):
that next win. This isn't the sort of thing that
just manifests itself overnight. We've been at this now and
in this current iteration really almost a decade. Right. You
go back to twenty fourteen when when Black Lives Matter
starts to take shape in the wake of the death
of Treyvon Martin, and you see that movement begin to

(44:06):
take route and to expand across across the country. And
one of the things I think it's worth tracking back
to is where does this anti law enforcement sort of
POV Where does it come from? I go back to
the radical nineteen sixties. You go back to the radical
nineteen sixties. You have the anti war movement. Back then,

(44:28):
people in the military were the devil right men and
men who were coming back from Vietnam were spit upon,
mistreated in airports, were told not to where their uniforms
out in public, were told not to where their uniforms
when they were when they were coming back home from
from tours of duty in Vietnam. That it was, it
was dangerous, it was rough. You move into the nineteen seventies,

(44:48):
the early nineteen seventies, that's the heyday of the Weather Underground, right,
and Bill Ayers, and Bill Ayers is out there leading
that organization. And you see a Chesi Boudine, who is
now currently the District Attorney in San Francisco, but whose
parents were part of that Weather Underground movement. You saw
police officers assassinated an upstate New York during a BRINKX

(45:10):
truck robbery. You had radicals going out and committing these
sorts of atrocities against law enforcement, bombing Franzis tavern, going
over into the Capitol and setting bombs off there as well.
This has been a long and practiced strategy. One only
has to go back to the two thousand and four

(45:31):
presidential election when the left was threatening to quote recreate
sixty eight. Remember that that was the narrative that they
were using. They were talking about Chicago, they were talking
about fighting the cops, doing that sort of stuff. This
is a This is a careful inculcation that is underway
in our country. It's not lost on me that Bill Ayres,

(45:51):
who was one of the leaders of the Weather Underground
and was an advisor to then citizen Barack Obama as
he started to make his into politics. It's not lost
on me that Bill ayres day job was running the
education department there at the University of Illinois Chicago, training
teachers for tomorrow. It's the academy, it is the university system.

(46:15):
Where you have this radicalization take root. And the very
sad reality of what it is we're seeing play out
with this anger towards law enforcement is the fact that
most people who are working as police officers are middle class,

(46:35):
working background people who have a heart for service. You're
going to have people who should not be in that job,
and you would hope that many of them are weeded
out by background checks and investigations and things like that
before you you're able to be a certified police officer.
But the fact is you're going to have bad people
get through the cracks. It's going to happen society. Every

(47:01):
one of these institutions, whatever it is, government, law enforcement,
the world of athletics, Hollywood, it's a microcosm of the
broader society. You're going to have heroes and you're going
to have devils. And this is what you see playing
out here, except that the Academy, at the Academy awards,
but the university system portrays these law enforcement officers is

(47:21):
as evil as wrong. They do it. They do it
consistently with these activist groups. And so what we end
up with now is another institution that's important to daily
American life, law and order being undermined because it's about

(47:41):
the vilification of an entire class of people. I remember
that terrible night in Dallas back in sixteen when that
sniper took up a position and started shooting into the
crowd at the Black Lives Matter march in the summer
of twenty six team and you had I think it
was six or seven wounded and killed Dallas police officers

(48:07):
who were escorting Black Lives Matter protesters and who saved lives.
We vilify an entire class of people at our own,
at our own demise, the military, people in law enforcement,
people serving at the border. There is no draft, there

(48:28):
is no conscription for people to go out and patrol
your streets. And one only has to take a look
at the paradise that is Chicago under Lori Lightfoot, or
build a Blasios New York, or Ted Wheelers Portland, or
the chaos of what's happening in Los Angeles with a
murder rate up two hundred percent under George Gascone, or

(48:51):
Chess of Boudin's San Francisco, to understand that very thin
line between chaos and security, and you're going to see
these people walking away from this job I'm glad Congresswoman
Demings was honest and truthful face the nation talking about

(49:13):
this reality in this situation, a heartbreaking situation for the
Brilliant family. I'm Brett Witterbell, your guide host today on
the Russa Lanbushow and the EIB Network. And welcome back
to the Russa lan Bush Show and the EIB Network.
Brett Witterboll, your humble guide today, your guide host, taking
you through all the big stories that are out there.
There's a very interesting story coming out of New York State.

(49:34):
And I'm actually very excited about this because I'm a
believer in the Second Amendment. I believe in all the
amendments in the Bill of Rights. Okay, I'm a big
supporter of all of them, especially the tenth. But on
the Second Amendment. Supreme Court's going to hear a Second
Amendment gun rights case that could be huge. It could

(49:54):
be huge. The US Supreme Court will soon consider whether
Americans can be legally prohi haibited from carrying a firearm
in public under the Second Amendment. As the Court announced Monday,
it will take up a challenge to New York states
restrictions on concealed carry licenses in the name of self defense.
The cases entitled New York State Rifle and Pistol Association

(50:17):
versus Corlette. It concerns whether New York can legally prohibit
people from carrying a gun outside the home without a license,
and challenges the state's practice of refusing licenses to those
who can't show they have quote proper cause to carry
a firewarm because that's a that's an interpretable phrase, right,
do you have proper cause? Well, yes, my ex husband

(50:39):
wants to kill me. My ex wife was coming after
whatever it is the states then just use that to
say no, you can't have it. You can't have it.
It's not going to be for you. In a brief
opposing the suit, the New York State Attorney General Latitia
James said the state's policy is a flexible stand and

(51:00):
dirt that's in line with the Second Amendment. And those
who don't qualify for concealed carry license, well, you can
have a more limited license to keep your home, keep
the gun in your home, or for certain purposes like hunting.
I always love that, that's always the fallback. Well, you
can hunt, You're allowed to go and bag of grouse

(51:22):
if you're so inclined. This has been a long term target.
The Supreme Court's going to be looking at this coming
up in the fall. It's going to be a very
very interesting case. Amy Coney Barrett's presence on the Court,
by the way, is going to get a lot more
attention on this. Here's a rush talking about the Left's
objective is the confiscation of all weapons. The objective here, folks,

(51:46):
the long term, the epitome, I mean, the Nirvana dream
is the confiscation of all weapons. They're not going to stop,
so they get that, and they're never going to get that,
which means they're ever going to stop. The objective is
the confiscation of all weapons. And it's not because they
think that'll stop the killing. This is what's so offensive

(52:08):
to me about this. This is not about stopping the killing.
It's not about saving the children, it's not about any
of that. It's only about leftists wanting to control and
have control over as much of the population as they can.
That's why they hate the NIRA. And it's not because
the NIRA spends a lot of money. The NRA spends
very little compared to other major donors. The NIRA is

(52:32):
a very very large and very very successful grass roots organization.
The nira's strength comes from the depth of its membership
and who those people are, and the Left cannot undermine
that no matter how hard they try, and they will
never be able to undermine it. So they have to

(52:53):
go after the guns. And all of this talk about
changing regulations and laws, never forget the only people were
regulating are people who already obey the law. By definition,
people are going to break the law. By definition, people
are going to go get guns that are banned. In fact,

(53:13):
the more they're banned, the more attractive they're going to be.
It's not the way to deal with this. It's incredible
to think that they're going to make this kind of
a move. I'm excited the Supreme Court's going to take
the case, and I think we're going to see a
very very interesting series of briefs that are going to
come out of that. Let's go out on the phones
and check in with Dan and Carmel Indiana. Dan, welcome

(53:34):
to the program. What's on your mind? Yeah, I was
thinking about this police shootings and everything, and I'm really
surprised at Lebron James in his desire to help keep
black lives of people black people alive. Wouldn't come out
and say, please, whatever you do, do not resist arrest.
They could start a fund that would help the people

(53:56):
that are arrested by the police and have a lawyer
to help look in whatever case they have to do,
but go peacefully with the cops. Call this eight hundred number.
Will arrange to get you a lawyer, so we don't
have any more police shootings. That's the bottom line. All
we need to do is not all we need to do,
but it would really be helpful if they would not

(54:17):
try to resist arrest. Well, listen, I think it's an
important point you raise about not resisting arrest. I think
that goes across the entire spectrum. But I also think
that it's important to understand that every one of these circumstances,
but for the fact that there's law enforcement involved in
the shooting, every one of these every one of these
cases is different. And let's be honest. The George Floyd

(54:40):
case with Derek Chauvin, no shot was fired, and so
we have to look at each of these on their face.
Derek Chauvin is one case. You have. You have mckea.
Bryant is another case. You've seen. Dante White is another case.
So it's it's not that there's this epidemic of one

(55:00):
single sort of thing. You have three different events that
took place that have three different realities. You have one
in which a police officer fired to preserve life. You
have one in which a seasoned police officer fired the
wrong weapon, which is, you know, negligent homicide. I don't
know what they're gonna end up charging that officer with

(55:21):
in Minnesota. And then you have the case of Derek
Chauvin who takes you know, nine minutes with his knee
on on the neck of George Floyd. And so each
of these are are different realities, and you know, we
have to understand that these different cases have all got
to be handled. But if they're all different circumstances, then

(55:44):
what is the unified approach? Is it to disarm all
law to say to the law enforcement, we're not going
to give you any any weapon that you can use
to take a life. I've seen Dog the bounty hunter
out making the rounds on TV shows and saying, you know,
we should place it with wood bullets, or we should
do this, or we should do that. Les lethal alternatives, Well,

(56:05):
that's that's that's a great idea that you can do
in the abstract, until you run into James Hodgkinson fires
one hundred and thirty six shots. Try to assassinate people
who are members of the Congressional baseball team. Every circumstance
is going to be different. You're not going to be
able to jam one fix on top of everything and
hope that you're going to get the results that you see.

(56:26):
It's a it's a tough situation all the way around.
I'm bretwood Able the EIB Network. It's kind of incredible
when you think about the way Hollywood comports themselves. It's
it's the one industry in which the entire industry doesn't
get blamed when there's awful behavior by people who are
very senior in that industry. You go, you go back

(56:47):
to Harvey Weinstein, right, you go back to the to
the me too movement and all of those challenges that happen.
But no nobody, nobody ever said defund Hollywood. Nobody ever
said shut down Hollywood. Nobody ever said we've got to
get rid of Hollywood. These moguls have so much power,
they're abusing their power. Nobody ever said that, and in fact,
you actually have something called the Oscars that comes on

(57:09):
TV once a year, incredibly diminishing numbers. I know. I
peeked in on it was stunned that there was no
masks and that they were in relatively close proximity. I
would have thought this would have looked more like a
Joe Biden car rally, with everybody sitting in their bugattis
and rolls royces parked out in a lot somewhere celebrating

(57:30):
each other. But the Oscars were on last night, and
I think most of Americans doesn't care about Hollywood anymore
if you think about it in a lot of ways. Well,
rush knew exactly what was going on. Awards ceremonies are
to liberals what the Fourth of July is to Republicans.

(57:51):
You ever stopped to look at it that way? Their
Fourth of July they're independent. All of these award shows
is where they get a national stage to trash America
and they make the most of it. And when they
do it, just like when the NFL had all of
these people kneeling and so forth and showing disrespect, what
happened to the numbers? They plummeted? The NFL They were

(58:14):
trending downward anyway before the kneeling began, and that might
just have been cyclical, but the kneeling really iced it
and made the drop significant and consistent. Well, Hollywood can't
say that. They can't say there's too many award shows,
and they don't even play the anthem at the Oscars,
so there's no way anybody can kneel. They just disrespect

(58:35):
America for the whole show. And I have to tell you,
I'm long past the point of being mad about it
been they're done that. It just it's like the NFL folks,
when the whole NFL debacco began, I just got sad.
Now I'm not big into movies and Hollywood, like I was.
The NFL and NFL was a hobby. I loved it.

(58:57):
I liked it something I've very very much enjoyed. I
just it's sad when they drove me away, or when
they allowed politics to creep in and the whole thing
got corrupted, and it just it was impossible for the
NFL to remain in my mind what had always been
just another area of America, another area of our culture,
which has not been corrupted and taken over. But the

(59:18):
left just made me sad. And the Hollywood think is
much the same way, because these people are dumb. They're
just plain dumb. They're just stupid, they're ignorant, whatever you
want to say. They don't know what they're talking about.
The point of all this is that they've got They've
got nothing. They are just angry as they can be.
And the way this country is divided right now makes

(59:40):
me sad. I'm being flat out honest with you. I
read some of these comments that these people at the
Oscars make last night. They're just dumb. It's just beyond
being politically leftist and so forth. The things these people
think and the things that they say are just dumb.

(01:00:00):
We are becoming more bifurcated, balkanized, and divided. There isn't
any overlap, meaning there aren't any areas in which we
have much in common. There isn't anything that binds us
together as Americans because a significant portion of this country

(01:00:22):
doesn't even like the country anymore, and it may even
be stronger than don't like it. Some of them literally
hate it. And then there's a bunch of people that
don't hate or dislike, but they join the cacophony of
hate and dislike because they think they have to in
order to stay relevant. You know, we know virtue signaling

(01:00:42):
is absolutely required if you're going to be a success
in Hollywood. That that is an absolute locked in baked
into the cake reality. You've got to be able to
virtue signal. You have to do it when you get
your reward. You have to get up there and rant
about this cause or that cause, or this issue, or
why the country is terrible. All of that. Well, I
would recommend that when we're going to get around to

(01:01:05):
the Oscars or the Ammy's or the Golden Globes People's
Choice Awards. It's kind of a little different there though.
But when you look at these big awards ceremonies where
you're going to get lectured for four and a half
hours by people who literally read other people's lines for
a living or who write those lines for other people
to say for a living. I would like to marry

(01:01:27):
the idea of what we see in professional sports, which
is now superwoke. I'd like to see this marriage between
Hollywood and what you see with the big sports stuff.
And I think there's a couple of ways we can
do this. Remember what happened when the NBA played in
the Bubble, All the players had different messages on the
backs of their jerseys. Why are these Hollywood stars and
starlets standing there in front of us in these five

(01:01:51):
thousand dollars gowns and twenty thousand dollars tuxedos. Why is
there no signage like I should be able to read
you a message on the on the front of the
man's jacket or or the woman's the woman's gown. And
I don't mean to alienate anybody. I mean, it could
certainly be the man's gown and the woman's jacket. But
I mean what I'm saying is, I'd like to know

(01:02:12):
what the message is, what do you represent? In fact,
we should do this when they bring the people up
to speak at the Oscars, she'd be just like the NFL.
We could. This would be perfect to be just like
the NFL. You bring them, you bring them in, and
when they come up to the stage, it's I'm gonna
make up a name because I don't really keep up
with all these Hollywood people, But make up a name, okay,

(01:02:34):
John Smith? And there John Smith is coming up to
talk about the new movie Grazing in the Grass something
like that. And then they have a little card that
shows up on the screen and it's John Smith, graduate
of Juilliard, six foot two, one seventy five one Best
Supporting Actor in support her of Emily's List and donated

(01:02:58):
fifty thousand dollars to the Save the Aliens, Save the
Space Aliens fund. Like that would be that'd be a
huge help because then we could see you know who
the superstars are in the football in the NFL Football League,
right because you go, oh, he was a center at USC.
I remember that guy, Trevor Lawrence is at a Clem Clemson. Yeah,

(01:03:19):
he's a quarterback. He's really he's unbelievable. He only lost
like two games in his entire collegiate career. They were
huge games, but he only lost two. And you look
at this and you say, why don't we do this
for these actors? Why don't we just I mean, look,
it's gone flat. Nobody cares about these movies. Nobody watches
half of these movies because it's like either on Netflix
or Amazon or this thing or that thing, or in

(01:03:41):
the nobody's in the theater. So let's spice this up.
Let's let's get these folks to compete for who's most wokeist.
Took no salary for this movie. That's good because it
made no money. But took no salary for this film
instead donated it entirely to Bernie Sanders to get him
a new jacket. It could be done, folks, We can

(01:04:03):
do this. It's a way to reimagine Hollywood. S either
they want to reimagine policing, let's reimagine Hollywood. Maybe just
have to go to pay per view. You know, Mother's
Days less than two weeks away, thirteen days away on Sunday,
May eighth. How about some gift ideas. How about putting

(01:04:23):
all the family movies and pictures together for Mom and
everyone to see, all organized and digitized and easy to
access and share. Well, Rush had the idea first. Now,
Mother's Day this year is going to be a bit
of a challenge for people if they're unable to get
together with Mom. But regardless how it happens and where,

(01:04:43):
the celebrations will include revisiting memories of times together in
the past, in some cases long ago. Sometimes they're gonna
be memories of times long ago for which there are
photos and films and videos. But you can't see them
because they're so old that they're on formats nobody has
anymore like vhs or Betamax Super eight, film slide projector

(01:05:11):
kind of things. Sharing stories is great, and when you
can add pictures and video and old movies, it's that
much better. And there's an outfit out there that makes
this possible now, Legacy Box. This is something people think
that they can do themselves, and you could, but it
would require an investment in a lot of equipment, and
it would take you a lot of time, and there's
no reason to do it yourself when the Legacy Boxes

(01:05:31):
out there and is willing to do it for you.
Legacy Box digitizes and transfers old family films and videotapes
onto either DVD or thumb drives, or if you just
want to put them somewhere in the cloud or a
cloud server for you to download, they'll do that as well,
so that everybody in the family or friends of the

(01:05:52):
family can once again relive and see some of these
memories which nobody has seen in literally decades, because that's
how old some of the formats are. Legacy Box has
the gear to make it possible. They'll send you a box,
the Legacy Box. It is shielded and protected. You put
all the stuff in it, it will not get damaged
in transit. They get it back and they start to

(01:06:13):
digital transfer high speed, all that maintaining the best original quality,
and they get it back to you in a couple
of weeks. So go online the legacybox dot com, slash rush.
Legacybox dot com, slash rush, say fifty percent off your
purchase at that website. This week Legacy box dot com.
Slash rush is the website. And again just entering that,
they'll give you fifty percent off what they normally charge

(01:06:35):
to do this. Rush was so passionate about the sponsors
on this program, and with good reason, because they're absolutely phenomenal.
We come back. I'm going to share more of Russia's
passion with you. I'm Brett Witterville, the Guide host today
on the Now you Know. Rush used Apple computers as

(01:06:57):
long as I can remember. There was always one MacBook
or another, one iMac or another on his broadcast desk.
And on the days that Apple released a software update,
they did so just about this time in the one
pm Eastern hour. That meant that Rush was both keeping
us informed and entertained while also running software updates on

(01:07:19):
his computers, is iPhones, and his Apple Watch. Today would
have been a perfect example. Apple's rumored to be releasing
it's iOS fourteen point five upgrade. The biggest change in
the iOS fourteen point five is a new feature that
allows you to unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch

(01:07:40):
when you're wearing a face mask. The other big upgrade, well,
it's going to require apps in the Apple Store to
require asking you for your permission to track your activity
across the Internet. That's going to be a big problem
for advertisers. When you're asked whether or not you want
to be tracked or not, the majority of us say no.
The whole privacy protection is new from Apple, who announced

(01:08:00):
it back in January. So imagine Rush talking to you
right now while updating any number of devices. This is
what it sounded like just last July. By the way,
I'm running bet for those of you who run public
betas of Apple's new software updates. You know, every summer

(01:08:23):
in June, Apple introduces in beta the new operating system
that they release in September, and they also allow the
public anybody who wants to to sign up on a
website to test it. Well, they're releasing the first public
beta today of ioas fourteen, and I wanted to break

(01:08:45):
that news to you in case you happen to be
one who has participated in the public beta program before,
or you've thought about it. This is the data sign up.
There's an Apple website Beta in the name of it.
You use a sign up if you want to participate
in the public beta, and the public it's stable enough,
they'll tell you it. Don't put it on your primary

(01:09:07):
device yet. But I'm running beta two for the developers side,
and it's really it's really really stable, you know. It's
I just I think back to the times I spent
with Rush there in his office or on the other
side of the glass and studio, and seeing his passion

(01:09:29):
for Apple was just it was awesome because it was
one of those things that every one of us has
somebody in our life who is so passionate, almost an
almost an evangelist about a particular product or a particular service,
or a particular thing. And he just he was like
a kid on Christmas morning when those updates would come through.
And it was always absolutely fantastic to be there because

(01:09:51):
you could see he was having so much fun and
doing an amazing show for millions of people while he
was updating. I talk about multitasking. Linda's in southern Utah
joining us next. Linda, Welcome to the show, honor to
talk to you today. I just had a question regarding
the DC statehood and after if it is becoming a state,

(01:10:16):
how it would work as far as it would have
a governor. Right it already has a mayor. Does the
mayor no longer have a job because the territory is
now a state. It's a good question. It's it's it's
a good question. What we're looking at with this bill

(01:10:36):
that's moving out will will take essentially what you think
of Washington, DC, what I think of what we think
of the capital right in DC. That will become its
own little section. So it'll be the White House, the
Federal buildings, the Capitol Building, Supreme Courts, all that that'll
be like one part of it, and then the rest
of it will be I think they're calling they're going

(01:10:56):
to call it the Commonwealth of Douglas, for Frederick Douglas
is what they're looking at call this. So my understanding
of the way this bill has written is that it
will have you. You'll have a mayor. You'll also have
a governor. You have a district attorney, you'll have an
attorney general. You'll have basically the replicated things that you

(01:11:17):
see at the state level, all compressed into this tightly,
tightly controlled bit of real estate there in Washington, DC.
You'll have two senators, you'll have the requisite number of
congress a congressman to represent that that district. All of that,
it'll it'll take on the same stuff that is the state.

(01:11:38):
And I think it's I think it's a tremendous mistake
to do it. Not because I have any no disrespect
to the people Washington, DC who are listening to this
program now, but it's prohibited by the Constitution. And I
just I'm not really willing or able to accept the, uh,
the notion that that's Jim Crowe. This is Jim Crowe.

(01:12:00):
The Founding Fathers laid out a vision that apparently was
good enough to impeach a president after he left office,
but not good enough to handle the issues surrounding DC statehood.
It's sort of the cafeteria approach to the Founding Fathers
and the Constitution. We don't like that part of the constitution.
But we like this part of the constitution. We're going
to rewrite this part of the constitution to justify what

(01:12:23):
we're going to do by creating a whole new state
just because we're now in charge. I'm Brett Witterball, your
Guide host today on the EIB network. I'm Brett Witterball,
your Guide host today on the EIB network. One of
the interesting stories that's out there, that's still moving and
still garnering a lot of passion is the idea that

(01:12:45):
MLB decided they were going to move the All Star
Game from Atlanta and take it to Colorado. And the
folks are are furious on the ground there. The small
business owners, the larger business owners, the hoteliers, the folks
that are in the tourism industry. And this thing cuts
across the spectrum, income, level, race, creed, identity, you name it.

(01:13:10):
This is a huge mess. Well, somebody is trying to
push back against Major League Baseball in a very public way,
and we'll have that story for you straight ahead. But
first let me give you this. How bad were the
Oscar ratings last night? These just dropped the Oscar ratings
last night? Who nine point eight five million viewers tuned

(01:13:30):
in last night. That's according to Variety, nine point eight
five million viewers tuned in to the oscars. Do you
know what the number was last year? Last year, by
the way, it was an all time low. Well, last
night was a fifty eight percent drop from last year's
all time low. Last year they had twenty three million
people watching. This year they had nine point eight million

(01:13:52):
people watching. So if we follow this accordingly, you're gonna
end up with about what four million next year, two
million year after that, and at some point this thing,
this thing is just going to keep going and going
and going. How low can you go? That's the question?
Another great hour of the wrestling Bush Shows straight ahead.

(01:14:14):
People are starting to push back. You're seeing it a
lot of different ways. Those poll numbers that came out
over the weekend on President Biden's approvals not looking so good.
He's barely getting credit for COVID and on everything else.
People are just not feeling the unity that he vowed
just about one hundred days ago. He'll speak to a

(01:14:36):
joint session of Congress coming up here in the next
couple of days. Wednesday night is going to be the
address to the Joint Session of Congress. He'll make his
way over there to the Capitol through the razor wire
and the fencing and the stanchions and all that, to
give a speech laying out his plan moving forward for
the future. That future involves a lot of regulation, It
involves a lot of taxation. It there was a lot

(01:15:00):
of power grabbing and green new dealing and double dealing
and dribble dealing and all that sort of stuff. And
yet the people in this country are so robust and
are so resilient that they're they're pushing back. Remember just
a couple of weeks ago when you saw the announcement
from Rob Manfred, the Baseball Commissioner from Major League Baseball,

(01:15:22):
that they were going to be pulling the All Star
Game out out of Atlanta this summer because of the
Jim Crow era law that was passed by the legislature
there and signed into law by Brian Kemp, the governor.
That those Jim Crow laws that expanded voting dates days,

(01:15:43):
that expanded opportunities to participate in the democratic process in
our constitutional republic. But it was President Trump, President Trump,
President Biden who said that these were Jim Crow era laws.
Stacy Abrahams was encouraging him to do it, and so
Rob Manford said, you know what, this is getting a
little too hot. We wanted to celebrate the life of

(01:16:04):
Hank Aaron as the central piece of the All Star
weekend in Atlanta, but we've got politics breaking out, and
so we're just gonna pull the game from Atlanta. We're
gonna put it over in Colorado, which has more restrictive
voting than Georgia and has a smaller population of African

(01:16:25):
Americans than Georgia. Well, the Jobs Creator Network or the
Job Creator Network Foundation president Elaine Parker said this weekend
that her organization was calling out Major League Baseball for
moving the All Star Game out of Atlanta over their
objections to the new voting law. They're putting up a
Times Square billboard right there in New York City, Parker said,

(01:16:48):
the commissioner clearly has all strikes and no balls. That
is why we put up the billboard in Times Square.
That's her quote there. To Fox and Friends, she added,
in Atlanta, you mentioned fifty one percent. There are nine
times as many black owned businesses in Atlanta than in Denver.
As much as they are following all this information and

(01:17:10):
perpetuating these lies. They're actually hurting the very people they
want to try to be helping in those communities. Well,
politics is a dangerous game, especially when you're involved, when
you're involved in the business of sports. So I wanted
to hear this because in this clip, Rush talked about
how pro sports leagues jumped on the COVID bandwagon in

(01:17:33):
order to make themselves look caring and compassionate. It's the
same with Georgia in Major League Baseball. They're doing this
because they want people to feel like Georgia. Georgia is
not doing what they should be doing. We're gonna pressure Georgia.
They're unhappy with it. Well, Rush called it whimp politics
with good reason. More and more NFL teams are you

(01:17:54):
know what this has become? This is a pr bandwagon. Oops,
we better close our facilities so that they'll public thinks
we care. It's like companies jumping on the climate change
train to make customers think they care. Because companies are
making the mistake of assuming and everybody believes in climate change,
so they glom onto it. And why do they make

(01:18:18):
the mistake of assuming that because they all pay attention
to media. You know, one of the reasons. One of
the reasons. If you watch the Super Bowl ads last
couple of seasons, how many of you have said, Man,
they just I don't know. They're not what they used
to be. They're not advertising itself. To me, particularly, television
advertising is nowhere near as creative and innovative as it

(01:18:41):
used to being. You know why that is because they've
stopped deciding for themselves and stop trying to figure out
for themselves where culture is. They're depending on the media,
so they think everybody believes in climate change, so they
glom on the climate change this and that, and a
company will be going green, announcing climate change promotions or whatever,
putting polar bears in TV commercials and so forth. And

(01:19:03):
I'll guarantee you what's happening here. This has become a
self fulfilling prophecy. So the NBA cancels, it suspends its season. Well,
the NHL can't be left off. NHL can't appear to
be irresponsible, so they cancel. Now Here comes the NFL.
The NFL doesn't start playing into September, weld preseason games

(01:19:25):
in August, but they can't appear to be insensitive and
left us, so they're closing whatever they've got to close,
which is nothing. Nobody goes to the NFL facilities except
team executives, so they're shutting those down. Now. Major League
Baseball is going to have to do something because their
season starts next month. We've literally become a culture of

(01:19:47):
a bunch of followers, and you have to look far
and wide to find any courageous leaders anymore. It's a sad,
sad thing. And it's because of the politicization of so much.
And it's because of the dominance of whimp politics, which
is liberalism that is infecting everything. A bunch of whimps

(01:20:14):
disguised as compassionate, concern sentitivea is whimpifying practically everything they
can get their political hands on. Everybody's relying on the
media's portrayal of this country every day to be representative
of the national attitude on everything. That's why they think

(01:20:35):
everybody hates Trump. They are convinced everybody hates Trump. They're
convinced that everybody thinks Trump is an idiot and a buffoon.
And that's not what the majority of Americans think. No,
I don't know what to do about it. I don't know.
I don't know how you de emphasize the media. The
question people have had for as long as we've been alive. Well,

(01:20:58):
one of the big problems is the media is not
being hurt by having no audience see and then literally,
in another time another world would be out of business.
They would have had to shut down. They've got no viewers,
they've got no advertiser revenue. But they're part of a
conglomerate where they can act as the loss leader. They
can use the profits of other areas of the corporation
that owns them to stay afloat, where as a standalone

(01:21:21):
they have been bankrupt and shut down months years ago.
Two hugely important points that Rush raises there the perils
of getting political when you are when you are a
sports franchise or you are a league, it is perilous.
You've seen it time and time again. The ratings that

(01:21:42):
were down for the NFL with the kneeling, the ratings
that were down for the NBA season. They've been very,
very weak this year as well as the period in
the bubble, people just didn't feel like tuning in. You
had a baseball delay itself, you had hockey delay itself
to an extent, your NASCAR delay itself. You're driving around

(01:22:05):
at a car by yourself. But I get it. There's
pit crews, so you've got you've got all these people
that are working in super close proximity. I understand that
initial concern, and we're starting to see all these sports
obviously come back in a better way. But don't ever
underestimate when Rush talks about the idea of these these
wimpy wimpy leagues making these decisions because of what it

(01:22:31):
is that the press is saying. That is a huge
driver in the world of sports. That's why you had
a teenage girl running an eight hundred meter race in
Oregon collapse at the finish line last week because Oregon
makes you wear a mask when you're running a track race,
and so you're not getting enough oxygen and it just boom,

(01:22:52):
there you go. You're down at the finish line. But
the press will try to create this impression that it's
the most important thing you can do is to make
your daughter who's running track wear a mask. They'll also
tell you that everybody thinks Biden is doing a great
job until we saw those poll numbers, and the only
bit of daylight for President Biden on his poll approvals

(01:23:13):
barely a hundred days in is the COVID rollout, the
vaccination rolled out the way he's handled COVID. Let's be honest,
how do you think Joe Biden would be performing if
it were right now April twenty sixth of twenty twenty.

(01:23:35):
I mean, he would have been talking about many long,
dark winters in front of us where we will have
to wear masks for eternity. There was this is a
guy who's able to kind of put put some things
together and say, well, vaccinated one hundred million, now we've
vaccinated two hundred million people, whatever that number is. But
but he's not really a big policy driver. I went
through the list earlier in the program. So you have

(01:23:58):
you have in the case of the media creating this
impression that you must move the All Star Game out
of Atlanta. CNN was advocating that CNN is in Atlanta
and they're telling you we gotta move. We're gonna move
the All Star Game out of Atlanta. It's terrible. It's
the worst thing that could possibly happen is to have
that game. Why the media told you when the Texas

(01:24:23):
Rangers filled the stadium three weeks ago that it was
going to be a super spreader event and that thousands
of people were going to die. Did you see any
reporting on a super spreader event of the Texas Rangers game.
They're literally always wrong. They never get it right. And
that's the thing that Rush understood better than anybody in

(01:24:44):
the world, that these folks in the media always get
it wrong and they're never held to account for how
wrong they got it. And when you pointed out, they
try to cancel you. They can't take the heat. They
are among the flintiest people going. I'm Brett Whatebill, your

(01:25:05):
guide host today on the Russia limbos Show. Me I mean,
and I am Brett Whatebill, your guide host today on
the Rush Limbough Show. So I don't know if you
heard last week, but it was a big, big story.
Caitlyn Jenner is going to run for the governorship, challenging
Gavin Newsom. There in the beautiful state of California, a

(01:25:26):
state that I once lived in and one that Rush
lived in obviously for a very important part of his life.
They're in Sacramento. Well, here's Russia's thoughts on Caitlyn Jenner.
One little thing I want to run by you here
regarding Caitlyn Jenner, I'm not gonna tell you where this
comes from because I don't want other than to tell
you it's a Republican blog. Well, yeah, it is conservative

(01:25:49):
Republican blog. I just want to run this by you
and you tell yourself what you think. With the momentum
from this announcement and affiliation, Caitlyn Jenner inadvertently gave the
Republican Party something it desperately needs more of Street Cred.

(01:26:12):
Simply put, Caitlyn Jenner gives the Republican Party a sense
of humanity. Because Bruce Jenner came out as a Republican
back in what March or April, and we assume that
since Bruce Jenner has become Caitlyn Jenner that she's still
a Republican. Caitlyn Jenner inadvertently gave the Republican Party something

(01:26:37):
it really needs more of Street Cred, an understanding sense
of humanity. If the Republican Party overall was to warm
up to these differences and use them as a broader
tool to crush problems, not people, problems it really matter,
like insurmountable national and student that ever increasing national security

(01:26:59):
threats and domestic encroachments on constitutional liberties, Democrats would stand
no chance the passage here. What this means is that
that Caitlyn Jenner as a Republican proves to people that
the Republican Party is a party that loves humanity has
now acquired and a chief Street quid. And if the

(01:27:21):
Republican Party could do more of this, warm up to
these differences and use them as a broader tool to
crush problems, not people, because as you know, what the
Republican Party does is crush people. But if the Republican
Party could take this endorsement by Caitlyn Jenner and use
it to illustrate they don't crush people, that they are
human after all that they has stead will crush problems

(01:27:42):
that Democrats wouldn't stand a chance. There, there you have it.
This is about control. This is about This is all
about control. The Democratic Party is going to be fascinating
as you watch this with with Caitlyn Jenner taking on
a newsom, they will turn they will they will turn

(01:28:04):
Caitlyn Jenner into just like this the second coming of
the greatest villain of all time. It's just going to
be an incredible thing to watch play out there. But
one of the overlooked stories coming out of California, and
it's it's something that's not looked at a whole lot,
and it ought to be considered a whole lot. More
is this idea that the state of California produced the

(01:28:26):
most the most Trump voters in the country, just based
on population, just based on how many people came out
and voted for Trump, California had the most Trump voters.
And this momentum to try to recall Newsom, by the way,
I think, is a huge is a huge story that
ought to be looked at because while it's it's likely

(01:28:47):
to maybe not be successful, you never can you never
you never can forecast out accurately what people will decide
to do in the privacy of that voting booth or
the privacy of that ballot harvesting center or whatever it
is we're looking at us. It's gonna be something really
fun to watch. I hope California gets liberated. I know

(01:29:10):
what it's like to live behind the blue curtain. Let's
go to Susan in Hill Rose, Colorado. Susan, Welcome to
the Russia Lamba Show. I'm Bret Whatable, what's on your mind?
Thank you for carrying on. Thank you, So I have
a solution. Okay, This administration, and I don't think a
lot of people are paying attention, is run by the

(01:29:33):
chi coms. Every single one of these ridiculous, outrageous proposals
from open border and well, we could go on and
on about all those things that are wrong, but we
are just too polite. The Conservatives are finalists. We need
to take the offensive right, and we're so close to

(01:29:55):
having the Congress. If we would get three or four
Democrats to switch through public in the House and one
or two in the Senate, we could change all this
because I don't believe. I don't believe that the twenty
twenty election will never necessarily solve our situation and time.
Time is running out quickly, and I think if we

(01:30:18):
could shame every time a conservative is on radio or
TV or interviewed and asked why it's Biden doing this?
Why is he doing the answer to just be plain
and simple, he's run by the communist, He's bought for
the communist. Well, anybody who's thrived a communistry, yeah, and

(01:30:39):
they will they're scared to death. Well, Susan, I I
appreciate you calling, and I'm only gonna I'm only gonna
conclude the call because you're breaking up. It's it's it's
difficult for people to understand. But I got I got
your sense of what you're talking about. I have no
doubt in my mind that President Biden is somebody who
feels and if affinity for for what he sees going

(01:31:04):
on in China. And I'm not talking about the weaker
camps and things like that. What I'm talking about is
he thinks, he genuinely thinks China is just a competitor,
so he thinks it's you know, it's a coke PEPSI. No,
this is this is mortal combat between the United States
and China. It's it's it's such a serious point, and

(01:31:27):
it's amazing how overlooked this is. As we speak, the
Russians are are building new weapons systems. The Chinese are
getting more aggressive in Southeast Asia UM and taking over
those those those islands and making man made islands and
doing all this sort of stuff. They're challenging the right

(01:31:48):
of navigation uh in that area. President Trump was so
spot on by redefining that area as the Indo Pacific
Region rather than the Asia Pacific Region because this is
the This is the central focus of our challenge. Strategically,
it's going to come from that part of the world.

(01:32:11):
You have in Shijan, paying somebody who sees an opportunity
to knock us while we're down. In his mind, we
are we are a dying we are a dying nation.
We are a dying idea. He is the ascended nation.

(01:32:31):
He's cut deals with the Iranian government. He's got a
four hundred billion dollars arms deal that he cut with
the Iranian government that goes for twenty five years. Why
does China want to supply the Iranian Mullahs with weapons?
Because he wants to be the dominant player the Belt
and Road initiative where he goes out to all these

(01:32:52):
countries in Africa, Sub Saharan Africa and Asia and he says, hey,
we're gonna build We're gonna build roads and bridge is
an infrastructure, We're gonna pay for it, and you guys
get to use it, and all you gotta do is
just kind of sign on to our Belt and Road initiative.
They want the ability to be able to put stuff
on trains in China and ship it all the way
into into Western Europe. And they want to be able

(01:33:14):
to extend their influence into Africa and of course into
South America. He is a guy who is looking fifteen
and twenty years out and he knows that President Biden
has a limited window of opportunity. Okay, it could be
four years he gets he gets reelected, it could be

(01:33:35):
eight years. But she doesn't have to worry about that clock.
Neither does Potent. And so the point of all this
is is that the orientation of Joseph R. Biden towards
the PRC is one hundred and eighty degrees out of
phase because he thinks they're competitors when they're acting toward us,

(01:33:57):
the Chinese Communist Party as our enemies. I'm Brett Wittable,
your guide host today on the Eibnut. You know the
anniversary of Rick Monday saving the American flag. Rush loved
this story forty five years ago. Yesterday Dodger Stadium in
Los Angeles, during a game between the Chicago Cubs and

(01:34:19):
the Dodgers. Cubs outfielder Rick Monday saved the flag from
two protesters trying to set it on fire on the field.
You know, folks, let me taste it. I got a
message from George bretton last night. Do you know what
it was? This message says, boy, have things really changed?

(01:34:42):
And it was a video of Rick Monday saving the
flag from an anti American protester at Dodgers Stadium, and
I think it was at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Rick Monday became an overnight national hero because he saved
the American fighter ran out there and he picked it
up and saved the flag, and he was heralded and

(01:35:03):
he was loved. He was a hero. He was an
absolute hero for doing that at a time when things
are a little bit uh well, let's be honest, though
a little bit tense. Vince Scully play by play April
twenty fifth, nineteen seventy six, of Rick Monday saving the flag.

(01:35:26):
I'm not sure what he's doing it there. It looks
like he's gonna burn a flag, and Rick Monday run
baked it away from him, and so Monday, I think
a guy who's gonna thick by the American flag. Can
you imagine that? Well, they got to lose him, and Monday,
when he realized what he was gonna do, raced over

(01:35:49):
and took the flag away from him. That's how you
act like a patriot. It is. I've watched all these um,
I've watched all these demonstrations and protests throughout the years.
It's rare that you see somebody get involved an attempt
to rescue the American flag from being torched. And this
is a discussion about do you have a right to

(01:36:11):
burn an American flag? Should you burn in americanly? You
know the sort of stuff that law professors like to
kick around with the law students. I'm just talking about
your good old fashioned rock ribbed kind of feeling where
you say, you know what, that's the American flag and
I'm going to step in and save it from being burned.

(01:36:32):
In fact, the left burned so many American flags these
days that it's it's almost become just a blur of
these things. I mean, my gosh, three hundred plus nights
in Portland, and Ted Wheeler is now trying to say,
I need you guys to help me. I need you
to help me. Tell me who these guys are that
are ripping Portland apart. Yeah, sorry, Ted, You're about a

(01:36:54):
year too late to try to win any supporters over
in that community. But you know, you you look at
the situation with sports in general. We've been talking a
lot about sports this program, the idea of moving the
All Star Game out of out out of Atlanta, putting
it in Colorado. The anniversary yesterday of the burning of

(01:37:16):
the attempt at burning of the American flag. Rick Monday
a hero saving that flag at Dodger Stadium. It's a
big deal. Patriotism isn't one of these things that that
you know you you take it as one of these
kind of add on qualities. It ought to be something
that everybody carries in their heart. And it doesn't mean

(01:37:36):
you agree with everything that America does or everything that
every politician does. But you should have a love for
the country. Who we are, what we are, what we represent.
Three and thirty million people in this country. We should
be feeling that way. Should love our country, seek to

(01:37:59):
improve it where necessary, but never stop loving it. And
that's that's that's a challenge. I heard. I heard Lindsay
Grahams Senator Lindsay Graham over the weekend saying that he's
tired of President Biden running it down all the time.
A president's words mean something, and when you when you
run the country down, or you you imply that this

(01:38:19):
nation is somehow a failed nation and not living up
to its promises. That carries a profound amount of weight.
See my earlier commentary about what it was that Shi
Jinping is looking to pull off. Let's go out on
the phones and talk to drive by Joe Brandenburg, Kentucky.
Drive By, Joe, Welcome to the program. How are you doing?
But I'm doing well? Things well, And I actually just

(01:38:42):
kind of had a an epiphany earlier this weekend, and
I was thinking, you know about all these uh BLM
and antipa uh so called protest and riot's all this looting, Yes,
And what it's going to come down to is a
self fulfilling prophecy in these uh these blue cities. You know,

(01:39:04):
all of these companies are eventually going to get tired
of being looted. They're gonna eventually get tired of their
premiums going up on their insurance, and they're going to
start pooling out of these communities. And you don't have
any mom and pop or small businesses anymore, especially in
the in these you know, blue states and cities. They've

(01:39:24):
been completely shut down. So what are people gonna do
when Target and the grocery stores and everybody's pooling out
of these communities. Then it's going to become another battle
of well, these companies are racist, they're not sitting right
businesses in these black communities, and they're tired to be

(01:39:45):
elooted drive by joe. That's a hugely important point because
we hear this phenomena. We've heard it in the last
say five or six years, this notion of food deserts.
There was talking about food deserts and cities where you
you live in neighborhoods, but there are no supermarkets in area.
The only thing that's around. You know, you've got liquor
stores or you've got small little convenience stores where people

(01:40:07):
can run in and get a couple of items, but
you can't go in and do big time shopping. Well,
when you see these different businesses, and we watched it
over the course of the last over the course of
the last year, you see these businesses burned to the ground.
You were talking about billions of dollars in losses. And
in some cases you've had politicians I remember one in

(01:40:28):
Baltimore three or four years ago saying that you have
to give the rioters room for creative destruction. I don't
even know what that means. Like I know what creative
and destruction means, but I don't know what that those
two words married together mean, except it means destruction. And
the fact, the fact of the matter is you talk
to people. I speak to people all the time in Charlotte.

(01:40:50):
You talk to people that live in communities that are
that are having a tough time of it. Okay, the
last thing they need is to have a store burned
to the ground. That's the last thing they need. Many
of these folks who live in places like Chicago or
who live in New York City, they they're watching the

(01:41:11):
slow unwinding of the fabric that's our nations. It's a
massively important When you see businesses pull out, you should
feel like it's territory that's being surrendered to malaise. That's
how we should feel about that. Nobody should want to

(01:41:32):
see businesses that are thriving and employing people in the
community pack the pack their stuff up and leave because
it's not safe, or shut it down because it's the
second time the building's been burned. There was a study done,
an academic study done, I use that phrase loosely, that

(01:41:53):
was done in the last couple of weeks, and they said, listen,
if you spray paint BLM or black owned business on
the side of a building in an area where there's
a riot that has occurred or is occurring, say like
a Portland situation, or you have the choice of hiring
somebody or you yourself stand out in front of your

(01:42:14):
business armed with a firearm to deter looters. What do
you think works better? And overwhelmingly, people willing to defend
their property or at least do a show of defending
their property are much better off than spray painting on
a piece of plywood over a window imploring the mob

(01:42:35):
to not destroy their property. Because the purpose of the
purpose of people who would go in and burn businesses
down is not to be reasoned with. Those folks are
people that are bent on destruction. It's incredibly important. You know.

we'll have a high note on Brett Witterball on the EIBNT.
For today's eib High Note, we wanted to share an
excerpt from a column that Rush's niece, Kristin Limbaugh Bloom

(01:43:41):
wrote about Rush and faith, the whole column of which
you can read over at rushlimbod dot com. And Russia's
own words describing his own belief in God from Kristen's column.
Shortly after he received his diagnosis. I was texting with
Uncle Rush and sent him Romans eight twenty eight as encouragement.

(01:44:07):
And we know that in all things God works for
the good of those who love Him, who have been
called according to his purpose. He wrote me back, Kristen,
I believe that verse to at. He told me that
despite some misconce misconceptions, this verse doesn't mean that everything

(01:44:31):
that happens to us is always good, but it does
mean that God himself is good, and that because of
that truth, there's opportunity for good in everything that happens.
That was Uncle Rush, always finding light amid the reality
of a dark and broken world. Here's Rush marveling at

(01:44:51):
the mystery and awe of believing and sharing a little
of his own faith. One of my reasons for believing
in God is that we as created of this magnificent
ability to be curious and dream and imagine and to
want to know whatever we want to know. But much
of that we will never know. You were going to

(01:45:12):
continue to ask, but the answers are simply not here.
We're not capable, we're not smart enough, we don't know enough.
Yet we have these questions. What kind of a God
would create beings who can ponder all these things such
as heaven if it didn't exist, be an ultimate cruelty
to create beings that can live their lives or try

(01:45:34):
to live their lives in such a way to achieve
these great things. Then at the end of it, have
it not be possible because it doesn't exist. No way
to prove any of this to me? It's faith. But
I stop and ponder these things, I think about them,
and I do it in a constant state of awe.
Over the creation of everything and gratefulness that I'm part

(01:45:56):
of it, and I wonder what's next because we think
something is They haven't the slightest idea. What But my dad,
when I was six years old, he told the story
that I asked him why did he believe in God?
And he says, here, I am, I'm your dad. You're six,
and I you know, I want to answer your question seriously,

(01:46:17):
but you're six. What the heck are you going to understand?
I can't start quoting scripture to you. So he evolved
the theory that I just shared with you, that he
believed in a loving God that created all of this
and presented humanity with the concept of eternal life, heaven afterlife,

(01:46:37):
however you want to refer to it, and a mechanism
and means by which to achieve it. And he said
to me, I just can't believe that a loving God
would be so cruel as to create human beings who
could ponder and attempt to achieve such things if they
don't exist. He was just trying to use simple logic

(01:46:58):
with me. Had I been older, he would have gone
to various scripture in the Bible, which would have answered
the question, but it always stuck with me because it
made sense if you believe certain basics, loving God, God
of creation. It's just all made sense to me. And
I actually feel very sorry for people that don't believe

(01:47:20):
in this. It's the essence of believing that there are
things much greater than yourself, and the sooner any human
being learns that in life, the better off that person
is going to be. You know, I'm sure that Russian
God are having some pretty lifely conversations there. It's it's

(01:47:44):
an amazing thing to ponder, right, because you think about
what it is that comes next. But you know, so
often when when you're thinking that way, you're thinking about
the end of this. And it's only that piece I
think that we get from from God to us that

(01:48:06):
allows us to understand that that's what we have to have.
That vehicle is faith. Right, and so the confidence of
Russia's convictions when when you were around him or you
heard him talk about the things he believed in. And
I'm talking about whether it was on the air off
the air, but if you you heard him talk about

(01:48:27):
the things that he believed in, he believed in those
things with the concreteness of you know, picking up an
item that's in your hand, a brick, a piece of metal,
right you, You're you're fully confident that that's what's in
your hand. You're looking at it, you're saying, this is this.
That conviction is also what sustains you in many ways

(01:48:52):
in your faith because you're confident. I'm Brett Whatterbill, your
god host today on the eib net. A lesson to
the Blue States, the blue blue blue states. You want
to encourage business to come into your communities because you
want to employ your residence and the folks that live there.

(01:49:13):
Here in the state of North Carolina where I'm sitting,
we got a big announcement earlier today that Apple is
building a new plant up in Wake County, up by Raleigh,
and you are going to see three thousand jobs brought in.
It's a billion dollar plant, three thousand jobs initially, and

(01:49:36):
an expectation that there will be more to come. Why
do I raise this point, Well, the governor of North
Carolina's Democrat, Roy Cooper, and he's somebody who fully embraced
all the masking and the shutdowns and the closures and
all that sort of stuff. He's right there in league
with all the rest of them. But the State of
North Carolina is committed to bringing business and employment to

(01:50:00):
the people of North Carolina. You're not seeing that kind
of behavior in California. You didn't see it in New
York when AOC killed off the Amazon two headquarters in
Long Island City, Andrew Cuomo build the Blasio, Gretchen Whitmer,
Phil Murphy in New Jersey, you name it. These governors

(01:50:20):
don't understand the importance of business because without business, there
is no money. It's important to understand that balance and
to understand that every single day people matter, and regulations

(01:50:40):
can kill off dreams. I'm breath Waterville on the EIB Network.
