Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbough Show podcast.
Oh it's a pleasure to be with you. Great to
see on a Tuesday, and glad you're joining us on
the EIB network. You should see the stack of stuff today.
It's it's it's pretty large and sadly as predicted. And

(00:23):
this happens so often. I you know, sometimes you might
wonder why it's so easy to call attention to progressives
and leftists and organizations like BLM making things worse, because
they do. History bears that out right now. Law enforcement

(00:44):
is challenged beyond probably this is the worst it's been challenged.
This is what I'm hearing from law enforcement people that
I know personally. You may be hearing the same thing.
Police are facing a recruitment struggles, lots of retirement for example,
and as I mentioned some of these cities, you'll know
they have they have a crisis there, not just in crime.

(01:08):
For example, shootings last week up two hundred percent of
New York, probably because it's a it's a gun free zone,
but New York, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Nashville, recruiting is in a
crisis mode. In fact, here in Philadelphia, and I'm about
ninety minutes from Philly. One point six million people live

(01:30):
in Philadelphia. This is an example, though, of what's going
on and what is being fueled by BLM and Team Biden.
Philly is the fourth largest police department in the US,
and seventy nine Philadelphia officers will be retiring shortly. They're

(01:53):
down two hundred and sixty eight officers. According to the
Associated Press, they're down two hundred and sixty eight. And
if you're wondering, well, how many police are there in
Philly six thousand, one hundred twelve, one point six million people.
And this is why it's so imperative that the tone

(02:16):
and the attitude toward law enforcement that is it's getting
ginned up by the left and it's part of a narrative.
I don't know if you saw the article of Los
Angeles police have asked the NBA to investigate Lebron James
after his dangerous tweet. Now, depending on who you listen

(02:37):
to for your news, you may or may not think
it's a dangerous tweet. And that's part of the problem.
As you know, we can no longer count on the
news media to give us the truth. This is a
wonderful example I'm going to read a headline. I'm not
going to call anybody out here. This is a headline
from a news organization. Basketball superstar Lebron receiving some backlash

(03:01):
from the LAPD union after tweeting toward a police officer
that works in Columbus, warning that he should be held accountable. Now,
that isn't exactly what it's said. And that's the tricky
thing about leftist covering leftist covering leftist. It never ends.

(03:24):
That's that thing that's so tricky. What Lebron James said
to his fifty million followers, your next hashtag accountability. Now,
that's a lot different than saying officer so and so
should be held accountable. No, he said you're next. So

(03:45):
this is kind of the vibe that we're getting from
Hollywood and all over the place. It's so sad, it's
so sad, and the scary thing it's in schools and
what we're going to focus on at least this segment.
You'll see and hear so many examples. And I think
because the news media does not share all the facts

(04:09):
with so many people, I don't think they realize how
things are unfolding. That not only hurting police officers, getting
them injured, getting them killed. But the Left is shrinking
the ranks of law enforcement. They've made it so unattractive,
you know. And the same things happening with the military.

(04:31):
And it has a lot to do with wokeness, but
it has a lot to do with an acceptable level
of contempt and resentment that our politicians are community leaders.
Black Lives Matter and others are pumping into the minds
of everyone in the community. And the thing that bothers

(04:54):
me most, and this has always bothered me, is the
influence that some of these people have on kids. Now, Yes,
Martha McCallum on Fox spoke with a black law enforcement officer.
He's been Los Angeles PD twenty four years. His name
is Dion Joseph. Now he is he's discussing the state
of policing. He's the guy, if you remember, this just

(05:16):
happened in the last week or so. He wanted to
talk to Lebron James and say, look, let's let's discuss
the law enforcement implications, the racial implications. Let's talk about this,
and Lebron James never got back in touch with him. Now,

(05:37):
think about that, Lebron James has the power to influence
millions and millions and millions of people. But he refuses
to change his language so it creates peace and debate.

(05:58):
He'd rather use language that, to me, sounds like payback.
When you say you're next targeting a cop, that sounds
like payback. Martha read him the following tweet from Missouri
Congressman Corey Bush, and this is from two days ago.
Here is what the congresswoman said. Our communities would have

(06:23):
needed to spark a national movement to save or they
wouldn't have excused me. So this is grammatically incorrect as well.
Our communities would not have needed to spark a national
movement to save black lives in America if America were
not racist as f Now that's a congresswoman. So now

(06:48):
you see what our children and what our police officers,
those men and women are up against. Here's Dion Joseph. Well,
you know it's unfortunate, but you know when the guy
living in his mom's basement, stuck with his laptop looking
at colleges and montages of police meetings that are carefully
put together to excite and insight, I understand it when

(07:09):
it's him, But when it's a political leader or a
figure espousing the same rhetoric. That's when it's time to
worry if you're a cop or a community member about
the rise in crime, because basically, you're going to give
away the safety of your community to the criminal element.
To the extent every big city in the United States
of America is going to be in New York in
the nineteen nineties, and it's inevitable, it's already happening. And

(07:31):
for someone to be so reckless and responsible to paint
the profession of law enforcement with such a broadbrush, not
to say that it doesn't have its issues, but it's
just so reckless and irresponsible, and hence why officers are leaving.
They don't feel supported. You know, you wonder why police
don't feel supported. And roughly a week ago, there was

(07:52):
an incident. I believe it was Los Angeles County. It
was in California. I'm going to play that this is
going viral, is big time. The body cam was just released.
I want you to listen to this woman as she
has stopped. Now, you may have been stopped for this
very reason, but I want you to listen to the
attitude of the woman, the demeanor, her comments, and how

(08:16):
gracious and professional. The law enforcement officer is being, oh,
I apologize, so that's not coming up. I apologize forgive me. Well,
we're gonna you know what I'm gonna do. I'm going
to correct that on my end and I'm going to
send it and we'll get to that in a moment.
But basically you'll see and hear this. This is going viral.

(08:41):
And this is a woman who is a school teacher
and she starts to call the police officer a murderer.
Then she even says, I'm recording you because I thought
you were going to murder me. Now, this is a
African American woman who teaches school. The police officer has
done nothing but said, good morning, ma'am. The reason I'm

(09:04):
stopping you is you're using your cell phone while you're driving.
And then she just took it to a level that
was horrific. She wanted to see a supervisor. She kept
dropping the murder word. You know, it's easy to see
why the police don't feel report supported. This is happening
all across the country. And what's heartbreaking is the news

(09:26):
media is always there when there's a bad moment for
a police officer. But it's harder and harder to find
the news media when police are doing wonderful things. The
word racism has lost its impact, so it's overused, and
so now systemic has been added to racism, and systemic

(09:46):
is becoming overused. You know, Rush talked about this, the
watering down and the manipulation of language. During the Trayvon
Martin case. The left has begun to talk about profiling here,
not racism, and they're they're accusing Zimmerman of profiling Trayvon,

(10:07):
and that, of course is a no no to copture.
You can't. Nobody likes profiling because it's judgmental and in
many cases it's prejudicial. So profiling would be see a
young seventeen year old black guy in the hood equals criminal.
That's profiling. Can't do it racism, but profiling the charge

(10:28):
of racism, they've beat that to death. In a sense,
it still works, but it doesn't carry the magic. It's
not the automatic that it used to be. So they're
searching on the left for a new way of making
the same charge with the same impact racism or racist

(10:51):
used to have. But it's like anything, they've gone to
the well with it so much and so often for
so many years that people's emotional reservoirs are empty. It's
gotten to the point where whenever Al Sharpton opens his
mouth and calls somebody a racist, to react, oh yeah, yeah,
another one. Now, another one. You've seen another one where
where point him out to people no longer taken as

(11:13):
seriously as they used to. But profiling is an attempt
to have the impact that the charge of racism or
racist once had. And don't misunderstand. Racism as a charge
is not dead, but it's not the automatic lightning rodet
used to be. So they're using profiling. You'll note, if

(11:34):
you pay close attention, you'll hear profiling much and more
and more often, particularly in this case. The problem with
profiling is that it works, and that's why they want
to stamp it out. That's why they want to get
rid of it. But look this whole thing. I'll tell you, folks,
there's no reason for this country to be at war

(11:55):
with itself, And if the left stopped starting fires and
stoking them, we wouldn't be at war with ourselves. But
they take an event where there isn't any racism and
they start deleaching and moaning and whining about it often
enough and they start doctoring nine to eleven tapes and voila,

(12:17):
people think you've got a racialism. In the meantime, real
racial incidents end up being ignored. We are two examples
of it just today, horrendous examples of black on white
crime that just is ignored shows up in local media
and that's it. Nobody goes any further with it, and
nobody tries to extrapolate. It's just reported for what it is,

(12:39):
but it's not said to be representative of anything. Is
Zimmerman Trayvon Martin thing was a bunch of nothing compared
to what they tried to make it brilliant. Well, you
can see why mainstream doesn't want to talk that level
of truth. But that right there rush just described in
entire plank of the leftist mantra or the Democrat Party.

(13:00):
Earlier today on Fox, there is a officer. He's the
operations commander at a at a college public safety. His
name's Major Kelvin Dingle. He posted this video. Listen to this.
I wake up every morning and kiss my family goodbye,

(13:21):
knowing that there's a possibility I won't come home. I
am tired of every time I wake up in the morning,
there's someone else polar riding the back that maybe Lord
not a good thing. All of us are not bad.
I am not hit. Most of us are not. There
are bad people in every career. I'm so die that

(13:47):
we'll be right back on the EIB Network, the Russia
Limbaugh Show, the EIB Network. My name is Ken Matthews.
I'm your guide today. Frustration across America. The foundational pieces
of our communities and our culture. There are times they

(14:10):
appear to be crumbling right before our very eyes. I'm
not just talking about schools and churches. It's law. Enforcement
is a crucial component of a civilized society. But even
the term law and order has been attacked. Remember when

(14:33):
President Trump used to say, I am the law and
order president. I want to bring law and order. And
then right on Q, Well, you can't say law and order.
That's racist. No it's not, it's not. And all you
have to do is survey any minority community, maybe the

(14:53):
radicals in the community, or the people from BLM that
burn down companies that donate to them. That's something else
that I find ridiculous. When you go through some of
these cities, you'll find that some of the companies they
attacked or looted. Off the top of my head, I'm
thinking Target and foot Locker in particular. Both of those

(15:15):
companies have graciously donated millions of dollars to BLM, but
that doesn't stop people from attacking them. It's bizarre. You know,
Rush used to talk about the narratives, how they're developed,
and how this mantra of defunding the police. It worried him,

(15:36):
it worried all of us. Last year, he was appalled
when now think about this, speaking of President Trump, when
the president made headlines for doing something that used to
be normal, everyday common sense. I just saw a headline
graphic on Fox News and it's a Trump opposed to
defunding the police. Well, who's in favor of defunding the police?

(16:00):
Why is that even news? I know Trump had a
big deal to day to Rose Garden, and he's got
his police reform Executive Order on safe policing for safe
communities and so forth. It's a good move, it's an
excellent move. But the idea stop it. The idea that
it's news that the President of the United States opposes

(16:22):
defunding the police. I'm not ripping Fox News. Don't misunderstand.
It's bigger than that. It's how narratives and templates are developed.
Defunding the police is insane, it's absurd. It is not mainstream,
and yet it seems to be an idea that smart

(16:44):
people are open to. Yes, enlightened people may actually see
some benefits to it. So the President comes out, makes
it clear he's opposed to it, and that's a headline
of the day. The headline the day is whoever in
heck is in favor of it? That should be the

(17:05):
headline of the day. It's all very subtle, folks. It's
how the drive by media succeeds in characterizing what used
to be normal, everyday common sense as oddball, out of
the mainstream extremism. And they've done this with everything. Think

(17:29):
about where they've done this, Okay, think about how the
left has thrown this blanket of absurdity and disbelief over
things that are common sensical. They've totally covered everything. And again,
you know, I'm going to bring up the transgender issue

(17:50):
for just a second. So why would it be so
hard to believe that someone that's teaching you're nine year
old that even though he's a boy, he's a girl.
Why is it so hard to believe that we should
get rid of police, we should let more prisoners out,
and we should have volunteers do traffic stops without guns.
It is absurd, but we are pummeled with a stream

(18:14):
of absurdity from the left, and then sadly, gutless biased
news media just reinforces it over and over. I don't
know if you've seen this. This is again. You cannot
make this up. Black Lives Matter just issued demands. Oh, yes,
they do that often. They update it and then people

(18:34):
like Don Lemon get excited and read it. But I'm
going to share some of the demands with you. This
is from Black Lives Matter. Convict and ban Trump from
future political office. Expel Republican members of Congress who attempted
to overturn the election and incite a white supremacist attack.
Number three. Launch a full investigation into the ties between

(18:58):
white supremacy and the Capitol police, law enforcement in the military.
Number four permanently takeaway Donald Trump's free speech. Ban him
from all digital media platforms. It's like we're reading Carl
Marx and Adolf Hitler's helping him edit it. Defund the police.

(19:20):
Of course, Satson there. Don't let the coup be used
as an excuse to crack down on the BLM movement,
and of course pass the Breathe Act. I want to
go back to that. Don't let the coup be used
as an excuse. Why not you were behind it. You

(19:42):
know this just as a proponent of free speech and
a big fan of the Constitution, which is no longer
being taught in most schools, I just can't believe this
list from BLM and the thing that the whole concept
that in organization say, by the way, no longer fund
law enforcement and ban the forty fifth president of the

(20:06):
United States from being able to speak to anybody. How
did that happen. It happened because the Democrat Party allowed
it to happen. Now again, I apologize for that technical
problem we had earlier, but I now have this audio soundbot.
I want you to hear the courtesy and professionalism of

(20:26):
a law enforcement officer in La County stopped a woman
who happens to be African American woman. She also happens
to be a teacher. We find all this out as
it progresses, but he just was stopping her because she
was on her cell phone. Listen to this conversation. Yes,

(20:48):
I started to record because you can't be on your
cell phone while you're driving. And can you call your
supervisor please? Already did, he's on his way. A murderer.
Forgot why you're harassed? It's not harassment. I am enforcing
the lie. I have a right to and record the
police when they're harassing me by all means. But you
can't do it while you're driving. I would, I can.

(21:09):
I wasn't define texting or none of that, and pretared
me and made me think you were going to murder me. Okay, well,
I'm sorry you feel that way. Well you're that's not
just a feeling. You're a murderer. Okay, you're doing that's
because it's part of your little gang. Can you zoom
in on that for me? Thank you? And I'm perfectly
legal and I'm a teacher, so there, congratulations, you're a murderer.

(21:34):
What's that hold that still for me? Okay, murderer, bring
that back up there. I can't wait to get to
you can let you know that you're a murdering full
that pull that back up for me, ma'am. Okay, murderer.
What's your last name? I can't see that there. Well,
you're shaking zoom in on that form because you're scaring me.

(21:56):
You're threatening to kill me and my son. He's only
sighting you for using yourself for him being a Mexican racist.
What is that name? Gas on the citation round here?
You go, Mexican racist. You're always going to be a Mexican.
You'll never be white, you know that right, You'll never
be white, which is what you really want to be. Wow,

(22:21):
I'm so glad that you were able to hear that
wonderful teacher on our way to class to impart her
wisdom onto young people. And you wonder why you turn
on the news and people are talking not out their
mouth or even out of their nose, They're talking out
of that lower area below the waste there. Yes, that's

(22:45):
where it comes from. You could not make that up.
But I have to tell you, having seen thousands of
body camp police tapes, because unlike most of the news media,
those of us in talk radio have to do research.
We get held accountable for what we say. You can
say anything you want on CNN. You could say anything

(23:05):
you want in the New York times, no, biggie. But
if we're going to quote or share a police officer's
tape or comments with you, we have to watch it
and over and over again. I hear that level of
hate and contempt totally unwarranted against law enforcement in this country.

(23:26):
It's disgusting. I understand why nobody wants to be a
police officer now. And you have to be polite and professional,
and the more progressive leadership in your city, the more
they expect you to be walked on. In some cities,
if someone hits you in the head with a brick,

(23:49):
some people will say the excuses, Well, you can't you
can't respond, I mean, you had a helmet on. Wants
the problem? Democrat politicians have actually said that. I don't
think people realize the impact police have on our everyday lives.
It's truly amazing. There's a wonderful story out of Mount Vernon,
New York. Just quick, if you have a chance to

(24:11):
check it out. Two officers, Cartwright and Valez, called the
Dollar Tree. It was shoplifting. They went inside, they realized
the guy stole a pair of socks and that's it. Okay. Now,
just to point out to some of you, folks in college.

(24:31):
There's a difference between a man stealing a pair of
socks because his feet are covered with swords and he
needs a pair of socks, and he takes a ninety
nine cent pair of socks, versus let's break out the
front of Target and Best Buy and take six flat
screens because black lives matter. I just want to point

(24:54):
that out, because I'm sure there's some college kid thinking,
oh darn college. After discussing the situation with the store manager, manager,
the police said, will buy the socks. We want to
give you access to more clothing and things that could
help you out. Let us take you someplace where a

(25:16):
community organization can help you. Now, why isn't that front
page news? Now? Seriously, why isn't in front page news.
I wanted to put those side by side. I wanted
you to hear in angry liberal woman and what flows
from her mouth, and how professional this police officer was,

(25:41):
and may I throw in did you notice her level
of racism and hate? You see? This is all part
of twenty twenties American awakening. You know, Rush nailed this
years ago. The Democrat Party has declared war on the police.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced on Twitter last night

(26:04):
that she gonna looked to read direct money from the
police department to the African American community in the next budget.
You know, Barack Obama declared war on the suburbs when
he was president, tried to make people feel guilty for
moving and living in the suburbs. So here we are

(26:24):
years later, after radical Democrat affiliated organizations laid waste to
the cities. The suburbs are winning and people are moving there.
So now they've declared war on the cities again. Defunding
the police is the plan, not just in San Francisco.
Brian Fallon, former spokesman for Attorney General Eric Holder, called

(26:49):
for cutting off funds for police departments in the wake
of George Floyd's death. Brian Fallon, former spokesman for Holder,
part of the Obama regime, former spokesman for the Hillary
Clinton campaign, tweeted defund the police. The Minneapolis City Council
President Jeremiah Ellison, the son of Keith Ellison, claims they're

(27:15):
going to dismantle the police, not just defund them. Los Angeles,
the same Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board follows the school
board in ending its relationship with the police department. I'm
not kidding. It's not just defunding. The Minneapolis City Council

(27:39):
is seriously considering disbanding the police. New York City's Controller,
Scott Stringer, said a letter yesterday to the city's mayor
Bill de Blasio, asking him to cut one point one
billion dollars of funding to the New York Police Department. Folks,
the Democrat Party, an abject failure, its failures on full display,

(28:07):
is now declaring war on America's police first responders in
an election year. Do they really think Do they really
think that a majority of Americans hate the cops? Do
they really believe that they have convinced a majority of
Americans that the cops are simply an extension of this filthy, dirty,

(28:29):
white supremacist power structure, and that if this white, systemic
racist power structure has got to go, then the cops
have got to go, because the cops of the primary
protection agency for the systemic white racists and supremacists. They
think a majority of Americans agree with this? Why else

(28:49):
do this? Is it simply fundraising and they're going to
change their minds later? I mean, how do you walk
back this how do you walk this back when you
get all kinds of people reffed up for it. I'm
telling you, are the people that vote for these lunatics
are buying this. They're celebrating it. People in La Minneapolis,
New York, they're running around celebrating. Some of them are

(29:10):
Most of the people live in these places are scared
to death. But there are some liberal Democrat voters that
think this is the greatest thing they've ever heard, and
they believe it. What are the Democrats going to do
when the time comes they have to walk this back
and say, hey, you know what, we can't do it.
We were a little premature. Or are they going to

(29:31):
walk it back or are they going to own this?
I don't know if there's time to own it. People
are just leaving law enforcement at such a rate it
is incredible. And Rush has been warning about this for years.
You know, before you refinance, get a free loan review
from American Financing, the only mortgage lender Rush recommended that

(29:55):
you rely on for such things. You might recall him
saying this, mortgage rates are still very low, and that
makes homeownership very affordable, especially when you work with our
friends in American Financing. Their mortgage consultants are in it
for you. They create custom loan programs designed around your budget,
including access some of the most competitive interest rates. There's

(30:16):
never any pressure, no obligation or upfront or hidden fees.
It really is a straightforward process that will get you
further along in your plans. Start saving on your mortgage
by calling American Financing. Here's the phone number Russia always
shared with you, eight hundred seven nine five twelve ten.
That's eight hundred seven nine five twelve ten. Or visit

(30:37):
American Financing dot net NMLS one eight two three three
four NMLS consumer access dot org. As you can here
today on the Russia Limbaughs show the IB Network, so
much of the early stack of stuff. For the first

(30:59):
segment of the show, talked about our great law enforcement,
the men and women of law enforcement, and how the
ignorance of the far left and some of these progressive
policies are making it so hard for them to do
our job. And there is a story. You may have
heard it. If you have it, we're going to share
it with you now because we have someone from the
story that'll speak with us in a moment. There is

(31:19):
the father of a teenage girl who was killed by
police in a shootout. She was with a friend. She
was killed by police, and the father invited the police
chief to speak at the funeral. He called us yesterday
and we are going to speak with mister Rausch right now,

(31:45):
and I'd like to welcome you, sir, to the EIB network. Hi,
thank you so much for being on My heart is
so heavy having read your story and then I don't
know how your heart is so big that you were
able to extend an invitation to this police officer to

(32:07):
the funeral. Would you like to share how that kind
of happened and why you did it. It was a
beautiful thing. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean I'm sitting here right
now with my daughter in my lap, in her ashes,
and there's so much love for her and her whole
struggle that she went through in her life in these

(32:27):
last four years as a teenager, and I just wanted
to also throw in there my hats off to all
the twelve step programs in this planet because they helped
people like us that have recovery issues, you know, addictions
and what have you, and you know. February twenty eighth, Sunday,

(32:48):
around six o'clock pm the door. I get a door
knock at my door. I'm living in Blair, Nebraska, and
it's two police officers and they asked that they can
come in, and I'm like yeah, and they come in
and they break the news that my daughter was just

(33:09):
killed by the police in Muskogee, Oklahoma. And at that moment,
you know my list, I felt like I was being
lifted two feet up in the ground and just kind
of floating in the air. I really didn't know how
to how to react. But I'm going to tell you
one thing. I didn't instantly go right to what are

(33:29):
those police? They messed up? What did they do? What
was wrong with them? You know, this is ridiculous. I
didn't go there at all instantly. I just went to
I wanted to know what happened because I understand what
my daughter was going through. And she did have a
gun her and her boyfriend, and she pointed it and
she shot at the police. So the police were doing

(33:50):
their job. And the two officers that told me this
in Blair were so kind. They sat with me for
two and a half hours in my house. If I
was alone, my fourteen year old boy is in the
other room, and they knew it was like a heavy thing,
and they were they had already began their kindness, so
that said a beautiful tone. And then they gave me

(34:11):
the phone number to the chief te he in Muskogee, Oklahoma,
and I called him a few hours later because he
was busy on the scene and spoke as him and
was just asking him questions and he was telling me.
He was so honest and forthright, telling me everything that
he knew that went on, and then in the next

(34:32):
couple of days we continued conversations because I had more
and more questions because I'm a private detective and so
I have lots of questions, and he just answered everyone.
He was just so forthright. And then like the third
day of talking to him, it just he was telling
me how his other officers are devastated for shooting this
seventeen year old, beautiful young girl and they didn't even know,

(34:55):
you know, because they had hoods on or whatever, and
they're devastated. They've been I don't even know if they're
working yet. And they had teenage daughters too, And he
was telling me that, and I was like, you know what,
I just I had this inklean inside me I really
want you and the officers to come to my daughter's funeral.
And he was like dumbfounded, he was taken back. He

(35:18):
said he'd been in the you know, police officer for
thirty five years and never once has he ever heard
anything like this, and he didn't know how to handle it.
And he said he'd get back with me, but he said,
you know, I'm telling you right now for you to
be able to forgive us, that already gives us the
green light to just forgive your daughter. And then and

(35:41):
then it got deeper and deeper and deeper, and he
shows up at my daughter's funeral March tenth. I had
and I saw the photograph of you two crying and hugging,
and I thought, God, more people need to hear what
you have to say, because you are proof of love
and forgiveness and how it works, you know. And I

(36:06):
just thank you so much for taking time to talk
with us today. We'll be right back. You know what.
You Know What premieres a week from tomorrow James Golden's
new podcast series you know him as Bo Snerdley. Listen
to this. Russ Lambaugh, the man behind the Golden EIB

(36:26):
microphone a new podcast hosted by yours truly, James Golden
or as many of you know me, Bo Snerdley. Come
with me behind the scenes for an exciting and intimate
look at the man who changed America as we know it.
Coming Wednesday, May twelve to iHeartRadio or wherever you listen
to your favorite podcast presented by my Pillow and the

(36:48):
Tunnel to Towers Foundation. And as I often say, too,
Bo on the phone and are many many conversations. You
really don't need a whoofer on your system that listening
to when Bosa because he has the deepest voice in
the world. But I can't wait to hear that series
because here's a man who really mind melded with Rush

(37:13):
Limbaugh for three decades and you can see why Rush
loved him so much. Always good to speak with you.
Thanks for joining the conversation on the EIB Network The
Rush Limbaugh Show. I am your guide for today. I
don't know if you saw the the big speech. Well,

(37:35):
it really wasn't a big speech. I think that when
Joe Biden spoke yesterday, he was talking about massive spending plans.
But that's pretty much. That's pretty much every speech he
gives is it not. The speeches are usually like, well
what do I do now? Or where am I? Or

(37:55):
we're gonna spend a lot of your money, and yesterday
a part of it included free community college. In the
big massive spending plans. You know, it all starts with
the COVID relief package and then somehow it gets to
way over the top. And this is from center square.
Biden promoted free community college for all Americans and dreamers.

(38:20):
So now we got the dreamers involved. The thing that
was so impressive yesterday I thought, I mean, kudos to
mister Biden. He got through three sentences without making a mistake,
which is, let's come on, that is a big deal, or,
as Biden would say, a big blanking deal. He spoke

(38:41):
at Tidewater Community College in Norfolk, Virginia to promote his proposal,
which would provide, among other things, one hundred nine billion
dollars of our tax money that he'll pretend he gave
to future voters for a wish and free community college.

(39:01):
Just think about it in terms of what's better for America,
not Democrat Republican individual. What's gonna grow America more, what's
gonna grow America more? What's gonna make us more competitive, stronger,
what's gonna make us better educated? So for folks at home,
I'd like to ask a question, do we want to
give the wealthiest people in America another tax cut? Or

(39:24):
do you want to give every high school graduate the
ability to earn a community college degree? You know the
thing about and I was talking to one of our
team members here at the IB and we were talking
about paying for college and the thing about the term
free college. First of all, that's the biggest mistake people
make in America. The way that's characterized. There is nothing

(39:46):
that is free, and when it comes to the government,
that's definitely not free. It's our money. There's nothing that's free.
So when someone says I got this free money from
the government, no, it's either your money given back to you.
As next week is tax week. If I'm not mistaken
because of the delay, it's the fifteenth of May or whatever.

(40:09):
It's either your money given back to you and then
and then we've potty trained generations saying, oh man, I'm
so stoked, look at the money I got back. It's
your money. Okay, that's one part of it. The other
part of it is every time Joe Biden or Kamala
Harris or Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi says we're gonna

(40:31):
give you all this staff. It just means we're going
to target other members, other hardworking members of America, maybe
even your neighbor, and we're going to take their money
and we're gonna give it to you. That's what's so frustrating,
and what we were talking about is the difference between
people that are doing something on a free ride versus

(40:55):
paying for it themselves. Whether it's your kids paying for
their car, your kids helping out with room and board,
your kids helping out with insurance, whatever it may be,
or in the case of college, your kids borrowing money
paying it back or working or whatever. There's definitely a
distinct difference between the way people treat anything, whether it's

(41:16):
a service or a product, if it's free versus if
they had to save. Now, some of you have experienced
schools in session all year. For example, there's a couple
of free states still out there. Florida is a free state,
Texas is a free state. A lot of the Blue
states sadly are occupied. We warned you, some are just

(41:37):
now seeing those schools re engage Florida and Texas. They've
been opened for a while now. The teachers unions, they
continue to politicize the science. See this COVID thing was
a boon for teachers unions because now they could say,
you know, now that I think about it, I'd really
like to stay at home by the pool and teach

(41:58):
the kids virtually. You know, I'll just put up a
little a little board next to the pool. This would
come as no surprise to RUSH, as they have always
politicized the science. Here's from Damon Ridge, Illinois. This is
Colby and it's great to have you with us. Hello.
So I'm seventeen years old and it's my senior year
in high school and our school is actually supposed to

(42:20):
start today, but the day before everything got delayed with
COVID people saying they have it. Everyone's self isolating. Do
you think left leaning teachers schools and unions are purposely
delaying schools, trying to delay all that so the kids
can't get to school. Well, in case a teachers unions,
I don't think it's a matter of do I think

(42:42):
I think I think they are. I think they're they're
being pretty vocal about the fact that they don't want
to go back because of the risk, and they're demanding
all kinds of I think new benefits or things. Here,
here's Colby, You're seventeen years old. And I don't want

(43:03):
to I don't want to shock you, but I think
all of this that is any pretty much any effort
to delay the reopening of the country, reopening of the schools, um,
getting the economy going. Everything is is political in nature.
There's a political explanation for every question that you will have.

(43:29):
It's a sad thing. It's a sad reality that because
politics has the ability to corrupt, and that's that's one
of the dangers we face. I mean, the short answer
to your your question, UM is that yeah, it's it's uh.

(43:49):
I think it's I think a lot of people are
trying to delay this to harm the Trump reelection effort.
They're trying to delay it because they might be scared.
They're trying to delay it because they're just general malcontents.
So forth. Yeah, I'm glad you called. I appreciate it.
You know, this COVID thing was hit from so many

(44:11):
different political angles, like Russia spoke of not just the
delay and the restructuring of the process of an election,
but restructuring school restructuring, restructuring finances, changing travel, changing hippo laws.
Think about how the Left was able to milk this.

(44:32):
And here we have again Biden pushing tax hikes for
the Ridge. He's gonna give the free school, He's gonna
this is free. That's free. It's like a broken record
with the left. But darn rich. But as we told
you yesterday on the show, Democrats are wealthier as a
party than Republicans. And there's more wealthy Democrats than Republicans

(44:55):
that vote according to the census, so that it not
only is it a broken record, it's just another lie
that doesn't make sense. But even if you could take
a dime from the at every dime, every dime, every
penny from the richest people in the country, it's not
nearly enough to pay for this fantasy spend a pelooza.

(45:16):
They tried it in Venezuela and it didn't work. And
here's Rush reminding us of the old pay their fair
share line. Check the email, mister LiNbO. They're gonna pay
for all this free stuff by raising taxes to ninety
percent of the rich. All right, it's not gonna happen,
they'll talk about it. Ninety percent would be the top rate.

(45:39):
We'd have to explain marginal tax rates, not every well
the super wealth, that they wouldn't make everybody paid ninety percent.
But here's the thing about this. This is also old.
This is something that the top marginal tax rate used
to be seventy five percent back and as recently as
nineteen eighty did you know that top marginal rate was
seventy percent when Renolda's magnus took off. Here's the thing,

(46:03):
and you can run the numbers on this yourself. You
could confiscate, confiscate, take it all all the billionaires in America.
You wouldn't have the money to pay for healthcare for
more than a couple of months. You wouldn't have nearly
enough money to run the federal government for six months,

(46:26):
not a four trillion dollar budget. People, these numbers are
beyond comprehension. A billion is a thousand million, and a
trillion is a thousand billion. Or you've lost you can't
visualize it. But I'm just telling you, confiscate every billionaire's

(46:47):
total worth, net worth, gross worth, income, take it all.
And you'll only do that one time. It doesn't replicate
billionaire income, doesn't start from zero every year and create.
Once you take it, it's gone and you can't even
run the government a couple of months with it. Not

(47:07):
that that kind of thing would matter to people, because
it's an emotional thing. Take the rich the Richard differ.
It's amazing how the stuff that never works just gets
recycled and have to deal with it, educate a whole
new crop of people that just doesn't work. It's just
group of people after group of people, and some just
keep buying it. But you've heard it said before, there's

(47:30):
only two short things in life, death and taxes. Here's
the third. If you're with Verizon AT and T or
T Mobile, switching to pure Talk will save you money.
In fact, pure Talk saves the average family of four
over eight hundred dollars a year. And the best part
of that is you don't have to sacrifice coverage. That's

(47:52):
because it's on the exact same network as one of
those other providers. Switching is so easy. You can keep
your phone, keep your number, and with one cell phone
call to pure Talk you can get started today. When
you do switch to pure Talk, you get unlimited talk, text,
and six gigs of data for just thirty dollars a month,

(48:13):
and if you go over on your data, they don't
charge you for it. When Rush heard the story of
Pure Talk and how they handle their customer service all
here in the United States, he started sharing the pure
Talk story. He saw it as a benefit to you.
Their CEO is a US veteran who understands what real
service means. You'll get to experience that level of care

(48:35):
when you talk to their customer service team. You do
that by making a single phone call on your cell
phone four digits. Just ile pound two fifty and say
keywords pure talk to say fifty percent off your first month.
That's pound two five zero, say pure Talk. You'll have

(48:59):
the option to receive a one time autodialed text message
from pure Talk. Ho ho ho, It's Baracca Claus. Who
else but Rush would have the guts to call Barack
Obama Santa Claus and put it to music the EIB network.

(49:22):
It's just one of the many bonuses. And you know,
my dad told me and I tell my sons. Anything
that the government gives you, it's either recycled from tax
money that you paid or tax money that your neighbor paid.
That's what that's what you're you're getting back from the government.

(49:47):
So when you hear I hate those terms government giveaway
or free school or no, no, no, no, the government
pays for all of this. No, no, no, your neighbors do.
And we've been taught by the left. We've been taught
by Marxist because Marxist hate the wealthy unless it's them.

(50:08):
So that's why a John Kerry or a Barack Obama
hate wealthy people that disagree with them. They don't hate
wealthy liberals. You think they hate George Sorrels. No, but
that's the This is generation after generation, just a little
tweaking of the message, a little tweaking of we're just

(50:29):
going to manipulate the definition of capitalism in this stand
the other thing. So when Biden pitches six trillion dollars
in stuff last week in gifts, and we're gonna give
this free stuff, free daycare, free this. Everybody gets a
hat with a propeller on it, everybody gets a jet
pack for free, everybody gets to go to the moon.
The Club for Growth pegs this as a one hundred

(50:52):
twenty three trillion national debt, and all that stuff. All
that fakery from miss Dr Biden goes on their tab.
You cannot spend your way to prosperity. This is a
lesson we all learned from history. Here's rush. There are
a number of a handful of four or five Republican
elected officials who are they heard me the other day

(51:15):
say that as a political strategy, asking Democrats how they're
going to pay for all this? You know, I said,
that's I don't think that's going to work anymore, not
as a means of persuasion. I don't think it's gonna
make people not support what the Democrats are saying, the
idea of having to pay for it. And the reason

(51:36):
is because I'm not sure how well it's ever worked,
to tell you the truth, But especially now, with as
much debt, national debt, the annual budget deficit of it,
it is clear that we don't have any money, and
yet we're spending money like there's no end to it.
There's no fiscal discipline anywhere in our national life. There

(52:01):
isn't any Now, certain people are not being given everything
they want, but when it comes to overall expenditure, the
government's not cutting back in anything. We're not acknowledging we
have a deficit, and we're not acknowledging we have a
national debt. Look at Obama. The first thing he does
after being elected inaugurator has come up with this magic
almost one tribeon dollar stimulus, and nobody opposed it because

(52:26):
we didn't have the money. Well, the Tea Party did
and they came to life, but Obama's people, Obama didn't
lose anybo people that voted for him because of that.
My point is as a means of persuasion, demanding to
know how the Democrats are going to pay for it.
It's a logical question to ask, and economically it makes
all the sense in the world. I'm simply talking about

(52:47):
as a means of persuading people to oppose or question
the Democrat agenda how to pay for it. I don't
know that it works. I'd love to be wrong about this.
I think there are other ways of demonstrating we don't
have the money what that means, rather than just because

(53:07):
clearly not having the money is not stopping these proposals.
If we don't have the money, what is this free
healthcare for everybody? If we don't have the money, what
is free education? For everybody. If we don't have the money,
what is free healthcare for all illegal immigrants? If we
don't have the money, why is anybody proposing it. If
we didn't have the money, the Democrats wouldn't be proposing

(53:28):
they're proposing this because it doesn't matter whether we have
the money. They're going to spend it anyway, or they're
going to make people think they're going to spend it.
They're going to make people think they're Santa Claus. The
fact that we don't have the money is not going
to stop Democrat voters from from voting Democrat. But the
results of not having anybody the manifestations of not having

(53:49):
the money. We cannot provide health care for all same quality,
on demand. We simply can't. Look at the lines that
would result, look at the people that wouldn't be treated.
There would be sub part treatment, there would be unequal treatment,
some people wouldn't be treated at all. It isn't possible
to do what they're suggesting. The same thing with free education.

(54:09):
The people that teach are going to have to get paid.
Nothing is free, and yet they tout it as free
and they get votes because people believe that it's not
going to cost them anything. So who it costs and
how that affects people not paying for it is what
our focus should be. You know, that is so on point,

(54:30):
And it's the equivalent And I told my son's this,
it's the equivalent of Joe Biden is going to give
you a credit card that someone else applied for and
will pay That's all it is. That's all it is.
And Joe Biden and the Left, they've been doing this
for decades. They do this with every group they want

(54:54):
to woo because their ideologies are so weak. So the
big the big thing now is what more immigrants are
allowed into the country, more refugees. I think it's four
times what it was just a few months ago. You
know what's going on at the border. And they're all

(55:14):
getting an opportunity to get benefits from you and me.
They're they're given all these different cards. And see, you
thought that the Democrats were just handing out the race card. No, no, no,
they're handing out credit cards and then you and I
get to make the payments on it. It's wonderful, and

(55:36):
then they get the benefit of those people voting for them.
Let's go to Jeffrey in Miami, Florida. Jeffrey, you're on
the Rush Limbaugh Show. Thank you, Ken. I have something
very important to say. First of all, I'm from Miami
and I was in the nightclub business in the seventies
and eighties, and that's when the Coka wars started. First

(55:56):
of all, the South America's the Colombians had the business,
all right. Then the Mario Botniff came over and they
let out a lot of people, a lot of Cubans
from prison. They went right to the Cuban mafia for jobs.
Now what happened is they didn't get their cocaine from Colombia.

(56:16):
They got it from Bolivia and Peru. All right. That
started the biggest drug war ever. Six hundred people got
murdered out here. And on Life, I mean on Time
magazine they had Paradise lost. Now with coming across the border,

(56:36):
teenagers and everybody think they're so innocent. In high school,
people didn't get their drugs from the dealer on the street. No,
you got it from the students sitting next to you
went algebra class. It's that is such an incredible observation.
And Jeffrey would know he's from He's from Miami and

(56:57):
he's Miami and he saw this happening. This is something
else that so few people are covering on the border,
but our listeners got it. Thank you for tuning in
to the show today. The numbers eight hundred two two
twenty eight eighty two great phone calls. Thank you for
making time for the EIB Network today. On the Rush

(57:18):
Limbaugh Show, my name's Ken. Some quick headlines before we
go back, and I want to I want to dig
a little deeper on this, the lack of leadership that
mister Biden has on immigration, among other things. But very quickly.
I don't know if you saw this. I'm only bringing
it up because it's it's made international headlines. Bill and
Melinda Gates have announced they're getting divorced. Now, I know

(57:39):
people are a lot of they're very worried about Melinda.
Will she have enough money? So we've started to go
fund me page. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Can
you imagine anyway? I think they're worth one hundred and
fifty billion, which is it's certainly a lot more than
Biden is worth at least now. So that's that. And

(58:02):
then I don't know if you saw this. The Secretary
of State Anthony blinkin, or as I like to say,
Anthony blinked and I'm quoting him. Our purpose is not
to contain China. See, that's the problem, Tony. Can I
call you Tony. That's the problem. That's the problem with Biden.

(58:22):
That's the problem with the people that he surrounds himself with. Now,
his handlers are different, His handlers don't give an inch.
The people that are puppeting Biden, like Obama, who lives
two blocks away, or whoever else may be involved the puppeteers,
but Biden is well, let me just say that Rush

(58:44):
was so right. You know, Biden bends on pretty much
everything and the left. What has the left always done?
And Rush has always told us the left always will
telegraph what they're gonna do, and this is what they
thought Biden's best quality was, well, you know, he's he's

(59:06):
willing to cave and what he's will no, Biden is
willing to sell out America and put America fourth, fifth,
or sixth if it's good for him and then the
party that supports him. Rush spoke about the Marxist radical

(59:27):
Angela Davis. She used to be involved with the US
Communist Party, and she even said Biden is the candidate
who can be most effectively pressured Angela Davis, former vice
president US Communist Party. He's Marxists and COMMI Pinko's go
all the way back to the sixties. Anyway, Here is

(59:49):
what she said about her group, the radical left, and
their preference in this presidential election. I don't see this
election as being about choosing a candidate who will be
who will be able to lead us in the right direction.
It will be about choosing a candidate who can be
most effectively pressured into allowing more space for the evolving

(01:00:16):
anti racist movement. Biden is very problematic in many ways.
But I say, but Biden is far more likely to
take mass demands. Seriously, do you realize how profound what
you just heard is. This may be one of the

(01:00:37):
most eye opening, illustrative, illustrating for those you reel into
soundbites that I will use today. This tells you everything
you need to know about who the American left is.
All right, here we go, We'll play it one more time.
I'm telling folks, you are listening to a profound, profoundity here.

(01:01:01):
There are two ingredients in this She says that will
tell you everything you need to know about who these
people are. I don't see this election as being about
choosing a candidate who will be who will be able
to lead us in the right direction. It will be
about choosing a candidate who can be most effectively pressured

(01:01:25):
into allowing more space for the evolving anti racist movement.
Biden is very problematic in many ways, but I say,
but Biden is far more likely to take mass demands
seriously translation, he's the bigger whimp in the race. The

(01:01:49):
first thing she says that is profound is we're not
looking for a leader. We're not looking for anybody to
lead us anywhere. We radical leftist. We already know where
we're going. We don't need some pretender leader, and Joe

(01:02:10):
Biden certainly isn't one of those. Joe Biden is not
a leader. No, the reason we support Biden, and we
don't even really like the guy, But the reason we're
supporting Biden is because he's a whimp. He'll do what
we say, he will respond to our efforts to intimidate him.
That's what it means when she says that he's far

(01:02:33):
more likely to take mass demands seriously, she's dressing it up,
but what she's really saying is, this guy is going
to cower in the corner the first time we confront him.
This guy's gonna give us everything we want because he's
a coward, because he won't stand up to us. The
last thing this guy is as a leader. By contrast,

(01:02:53):
they want no part of Trump because they can't intimidate him.
They want no part to Trump because he is a leader,
and he's going to lead people in a direction opposite
the chosen path of Angela Davis and her merry band
of radical leftist Marxist This SoundBite, and believe me, she
does speak for a lot of them. She's of emeritus status,

(01:03:17):
you protest or emeritus status. If the left or a
law firm, she would be of council status. She's a
heroine to these people, and she is just laying it
all out. They don't need a leader, they don't need
somebody taking them. They know exactly where they're gonna go,
where they want to go. They don't need some guy

(01:03:37):
in a White House to or a woman. They don't
need anybody paving the way. They need somebody to get
out of the way. They need somebody that's going to
just cave to them rather than stand up to him.
That is an amazing insight and as always accurate, pinpoint
accurate if you look at the people that are puppeting

(01:04:02):
Joe Biden and you look at how easy he can
be moved around. For example, the greatest example, just in
the past week, there was a moment there was a
flicker of common sense that got into Joe Biden's head.
I don't know if he fell down again or well,
he falls up, but he falls upstairs, but I don't
know if he fell forward or backward. But something got

(01:04:23):
into his head. And law enforcement officials and some border
people said, mister President, that had to make him cringe
to even say that. But they said that, and they said,
here's what we think. And remember, for a minute, he
wasn't gonna mess with President Donald Trump's limitations on immigration,

(01:04:44):
child kids, immigrating, and refugee status and some other crucial
components of what was actually making the border safe. Of course,
he pretty much blew that up, because we still have
holes in the wall now because from day one he
forced them open. President Biden did, but he got a

(01:05:05):
bunch of pressure from the left, the radical left, the
actual leaders in the Democrat Party. The Democrats, as Rush said,
they don't want leaders because the majority of their party
are sheep, so they really don't need leaders. They just
need some other sheep, so they someone like Angela Davis

(01:05:29):
is thrilled to have a follower in the Oval office
along with And this is what worries me. The Communist Party, China,
federal employee unions, the news media, BLM, Russia, the Ukraine.
This is the problem. And every day people are seeing

(01:05:49):
it more clearly. Every day people are realizing, Wow, this
guy's not only a goofball, I mean cornpop is. He's
off the hisizzel, but he flops in the wind. And
that's the problem when you don't put America first. If
you put America first, like President Donald Trump does, then

(01:06:12):
you don't say, well, what's the Communist Party going to?
Think about it? What do you think we should do
to police China? How do I please the federal employee unions?
How do I make all the teachers happy? How do
I make BLM happy? Think about it? How do I
make Antifa happy? Are we going to be able to
make the Ukraine happy? Can we keep the leftist protesters happy.

(01:06:34):
That's not the job of a president, especially of the
greatest country on Earth. We'll be right back on the
EIB Network. We opened the show today, our one of
the rustall Embas show, and we talked a lot and
Rush always spoke a lot about the greatness and the

(01:06:55):
value of law enforcement men and women in law enforcement,
men and women in the military, people that are on
that the edge of where good people might get into danger.
They need to be protected or saved or helped or defended.
And the Left, as you know, has kind of worked
against that. And the left is big on platitudes. If

(01:07:18):
I hear one more person in BLM talk about love
and embracing people and in the background there's a mall burning,
it's getting ridiculous. That's why earlier today and I'm going
to have this on my gab page gab dot com
forward slash Ken Matthews. I'm going to have the whole

(01:07:39):
article on there. Several folks did a story on it,
including ABC, and if you missed it, it's just it's
it's wonderful. And that is the man who lost his
daughter seventeen years old. This is I think no a
couple months ago and his daughter was running with the

(01:08:02):
wrong people and she had a substance abuse problem, and
there was a shootout with police. They stole a car.
She and the young man she was with both had guns.
They fired at the police. They were they were wearing masks,
and the police just fired to protect themselves, and they

(01:08:23):
ended up killing them. And he invited the police chief
to the funeral, and he forgave the police chief, and
he forgave the officers that were in the shootout, and
he said, I understand, I understand. My daughter shot a
gun at you and you were just doing your job.
Can you imagine if that level of forgiveness was contagious,

(01:08:49):
Oh my god, Oh my gosh. And you juxtaposition that
with the woman who called a police officer a murderer
about ten times on our way to teach school kids.
By the way, she was a teacher, she reminded us.
But you'll look at those two things. You'll look at
the level of maturity of that man and his ability

(01:09:12):
to understand reality and not blame someone else for a
reality that did not fit what he wanted. That's what
the Left is missing. They've been missing it for decades.
When are these people going to grow up. No, that's true.

(01:09:34):
It's a legitimate question. But as a parent, you're probably
a parent too, or you know a parent. Can you
imagine could you imagine that level of forgiveness of yes,
I it's heartwrenching that we've lost our child, but our
child did fire a gun at you and try to

(01:09:55):
kill you and you had to return fire. Can you
imagine that level? It's beyond maturity. It's it's hard to believe. Actually,
eight hundred two eight two twenty eight eighty two. Really quick,
let's get a call from Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is Paul. Hi. Paul,
you're on the Rush Limball Show. You know, I think

(01:10:18):
the majority of this country they're they're done listening to
how it's the responsibility of law enforcement to open a
dialogue about race and policing with cop heating bigots like
the lady that was pulled over in California and the
Lebron James is in the blms of the world. Um,
I want the cops to adopt the language of the

(01:10:40):
clip that you played earlier with the Major and tell
these people know, you know what we're done talking to you.
We already know what you think about us. You're all
a bunch of racists and bigots and you hate cops
regardless of what we say. So from now on, this
is this is where we stand. If you don't want
to get shot, don't shoot at cops. You don't want
to get shot, don't be a bug in the street

(01:11:00):
resisting the rest. You don't want to get shot. Stop
teaching your kids from the time that they can talk
to hate cops, hate white people, and to think that
everyone's are racist. It's as simple as that. That is
great advice, Paul, and I want to thank you for
calling because we hear time and time again and I
mean this. And if you haven't, if you are on

(01:11:24):
the left and you only see the videotapes of law
enforcement that CNN and MSNBC allow you to see, well
then you're going to think this is crazy. But I
could show you video after video after video, and case
after case after case, and just a handful of ride
alongs that I've been a part of without a camera.
By the way, law enforcement is gracious and they have

(01:11:50):
a I don't know, they have a certain vibe, a
certain com about them. And what the news media does
is they take this microscope and they say, what can
fire up the narrative for this weekend. Think about how
many times you've seen the loop of a shooting over

(01:12:11):
and over. Think about the lies that were spread about
the police officer in that whole incident in Columbus. It
was just a NonStop lie fest. Everything came out wrong,
and then it had to be redacted, redacted, redacted, and
then in slow motion you saw a teenage girl trying
to stab another teenage girl in the eye with a

(01:12:33):
seven inch knife or something. This is the ridiculousness of it.
If CNN would just pause for a moment and say
just what Paul said. Now, don't say it the same
way Paul said it, because people at CNN are two woke.
But if you're a grown up, like in this audience,

(01:12:55):
if you're driving along and you just heard Paul nobody
off the road and said, oh my god, I can't
believe he say. What does he say? He's saying what
most parents tell their kids. I can remember. It's being twelve, son.
You don't want to get into it with a cop.
Not worth it. Don't do it. He used to tell
me that all the time. Don't be a smart ass.

(01:13:17):
Let him see your hands don't make trouble where you
don't have to. That's how I was raised. Why is
that so hard? We'll be right back. Excuse me, excuse me.
You're gonna have to stop dancing, please, ma'am, sir, can
you drop the lake the woman that thank you? No dancing,

(01:13:38):
No dancing, Washington d c at. I don't get blue cities.
I don't understand progressives. They're working round the clock to
destroy what economy is left. After twenty twenty, the year
that threw wrenches into the wedding plans of so many couples,
are now facing another hurdle because the mayor, and you

(01:14:00):
may have read she is the smartest person on earth,
the mayor of Washington, DC has banned dancing at indoor
and outdoor weddings. Oh but no, there's some fine print here. Also,
you shouldn't be standing around at a cocktail hour either. Well,
I guess no one from Congress is going to that wedding.

(01:14:22):
This is absurd, but it's true. Standing and dancing at
receptions is no longer allowed. And the latest order, Oh
this is so great. This is like communism. This is
so nice. Twenty five percent capacity, that's what you're allowed,
oh thank you, oh great leader. Hello, always good to

(01:14:48):
see an Hour three as well the EIB network. I
guess you could say, well, I think it's a fact
that conservatives have a better sen of humor than most
liberals and most leftist And although conservatives take important issues seriously,

(01:15:12):
I find that conservatives don't usually take themselves so seriously.
Rush was a great example of that. He could talk
about these giant topics, historical markers of greatness, about the
greatness of our country, but then he can make fun
of himself and make fun of politicians. Politicians love to

(01:15:34):
take themselves seriously. One of the funniest examples of this
of having a sense of humor. When I first saw
the latest CIA recruitment video, I thought it was like
the Babylon Bee or the Onion, or a parody the

(01:15:57):
The Internet is filled with talented users and writers that
make funny, funny things. If you want to laugh, there's
plenty to laugh about. There's plenty of cry about, too,
but there's plenty to laugh about. So outcomes the CIA
recruitment video. Because everybody's woke and we just This was

(01:16:20):
posted on Twitter recently and I watched it. I couldn't
believe it. I couldn't believe it. President Trump commented on it,
and you wonder, Look, I do not believe our enemies
are laughing at US. I think they're laughing at our leadership.

(01:16:42):
I've never been one of those people that says, well,
China's laughing at America. I don't think. I don't think
anyone laughs at America. It's too impressive. But the leadership,
oh yeah, I think. I don't think they've been able
to stop laughing since Joe Biden was installed. And this
woke thing that started years ago under the leadership of

(01:17:08):
the Obama Siah, it's crazy. I want to take a
listen to an actual current CIA recruitment video. Here it is.
When I was seventeen, I quoted Zorah Neil Hurston's How
It Feels to Be Colored Me in my college application essay.
The line that spoke to me stated simply, I am

(01:17:28):
not tragically colored. There is no sorrow dammed up in
my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not
mind at all. At seventeen, I had no idea what
life would bring, but Sorah's sentiment articulated so beautifully how
I felt as a daughter of immigrants. Then and now.
Nothing about me was or is tragic. I am perfectly made.

(01:17:50):
I can wax eloquent on complex legal issues in English
while also belting guayaquil de mesamois in Spanish. I can
change a diaper with one hand and console a crying
toddler with the other. I'm a woman of color, I
am a mom. I am a sis gender millennial who's
been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I am intersectional, but

(01:18:12):
my existence is not a box checking exercise. I am
a walking declaration, a woman whose inflection does not rise
at the end of her sentences suggesting that a question
has been asked. I did not sneak into CIA. My
employment was not, and is not the result of a
fluke or slip through the cracks. I earned my way in,

(01:18:33):
and I earned my way up the ranks of this organization.
I am educated, qualified, and competent. And sometimes I struggle.
I struggle feeling like I could do more, be more
to my two sons. And I struggle leaving the office
when I feel there's so much more to do. I
used to struggle with imposter syndrome, but at thirty six,
I refuse to internalize misguided patriarchal ideas of what a

(01:18:56):
woman can or should be. I am hired of feeling
like I'm supposed to apologize for the space I occupied
rather than intoxicate people with my effort, my brilliance. I
am proud of me, full stop. My parents left everything
they knew and loved to expose me to opportunities they
never had because of them. I stand here today, a

(01:19:19):
proud first generation latina An officer at CIA. I am
unapologetically me. I want you to be unapologetically you, whoever
you are. Know your worth command your space. Mi huh,
You're worth it all right there, you go, know your worth,
command your space. I lost track. I was trying to

(01:19:42):
write down all the wokeness in that, and I lost track.
There's about seventeen things she brought up. Now. The first
thing I would say, as a taxpaying American citizen, why
are you even advertising? I thought you guys recruit covertly.
There's some Chinese operative right now, and you know they

(01:20:05):
love hanging out, and they love hanging out at universities
and dating American congress people. But there's some Chinese spy
laughing their butt off right now, I'm going to read
the mission of the CIA. This is from the government
website to preempt threats in further United States national security

(01:20:28):
objectives by collecting foreign intelligence that matters, producing objective all
source analysis, conducting effective covert action as directed by the President.
Now that last part we need to get rid of
just between us friends. They have no business being involved

(01:20:49):
in covert action. That's the problem. It's one of our
biggest problems right now. But let's just stick to the
first two lines. How in the world did anything that
woman say relate to that mission? This is the absurdity
of wokeness. That's what the absurdity is. You often hear

(01:21:11):
us confused about it. We are confused. What I heard
in that was III me me, me, me me me III.
I didn't hear I am part of the greatest nation
on earth, and I want to work with fellow Americans
that want to sacrifice and whatever it may be. I
heard nothing about team. That's one thing that liberals managed

(01:21:35):
to do. They sucked team out of team. Well, they
sucked the life out of a lot of things. But
that was just I, like I said, it started out.
I thought, oh, here we go. This is a parody.
Oh no, it's not. Is there anything she wasn't and
was there anything she didn't want to be other than

(01:21:58):
she never mentioned I want to protect the United States.
I want to help keep my neighbors safe. No, she
can change a diaper with one hand and she's assist gender. Well, great, CIA,
you just reduced more recruitment. So the Democrats have managed
to shrink the military, get police retiring by the end

(01:22:22):
of this show. And now you're telling people in the CIA, hey,
don't come in here all like rock'em, sock'em, kick Cammi butt.
We don't have time for that. You better be woke.
Are There's going to be a problem. And you know,
we talked about this earlier in the first hour. We
talked about that really is the real extremism that's going

(01:22:44):
on in this country, and it's unchecked. Oh my gosh,
whether it's from the CIA, whether it's corporate corporate cowards,
or as we read those demands from Black Lives Matter,
it's all about politics. Black Lives Matter is a political force.
Let me grab this guy, Kenny and fort myerst Rush.

(01:23:07):
I know it's a lot of these companies are jumping
on this bandwagon, and they're pretty insistent on it, from
full screen banners to literal An email I got from
Uber insisting that they stand in solidarity shoulder to shoulder,
and I'm curious why these companies are so insistent on
telling me that instead of just remaining neutral and not
stirring up an obvious pot of something That is because

(01:23:29):
they're not neutral. Do you realize Amazon is the retail
division of the Washington Post. Yeah, they're not fun. He
couldn't wait to get rid of his racist customers. They're
not neutral. But there's an even different answer than that.
You have to look at what Black Lives Matter is.

(01:23:49):
Black Lives Matter is an intimidating political operation or force
you don't dare opposed. People are bowing down and caving
to Black Lives Matter every day. But there's another reason
for it. Amazon needs to sell stuff. And guess who.

(01:24:12):
Some of Black Lives Matters biggest supporters are young white millennials,
particularly young white millennial women, love Black Lives Matter. They
have bought full fledged into the idea that America is
a racist nation, that it's incorrectible, that it is irredeemable,

(01:24:35):
and they are filled with sympathy for African Americans who
may have never been discriminated against, who are alive during slavery,
but they are all in the effort to create this
massive wave of sympathy. It's everywhere, And so Amazon wants

(01:24:56):
to sell things to people. And if young white millennials,
particularly women, think Black Lives Matter is the end all,
then by god, Amazon is going to make sure they
know they think the same thing. Do you know that
at Amazon you can buy shirts that say blue Lives murder?

(01:25:18):
Amazon is selling shirts that say blue Lives murder. Yes
they are, and they don't think there's anything wrong with it.
It's no different. You know why why did every automobile
manufacturer jump on the climate change movement? Why did Xon
jump on the climate change movement when Xon's one of

(01:25:40):
the big targets. Well, once they figure out that a
majority of Americans have bought into anything, they're going to
try to meet them and be there at the same place,
whether they actually believe in it or not. Everything's marketing.
Let me give you an example of what I mean.
When we have so much caving going, what do you
think it is when the NYPD shuts down the six

(01:26:02):
hundred officer plane Clothes Unit. I think that's not a cave.
That is a cave to Black Lives matter. That's a
cave that's brought about by the police commissioner, probably the
mayor Deblasio. Police officers across this country are quitting their jobs. Alibuquerque, Newmico,
has decided to use social workers to handle some nine

(01:26:24):
to eleven calls. In Minneapolis, seven cops resigned from the department.
In Atlanta, eight officers have resigned this month. In South Florida,
ten officers resigned from the Miami SWAT unit. In Buffalo,
nearly sixty officers have resigned from the Emergency Response Team.

(01:26:45):
Cops are quitting left and right because they know nobody's
got their back. You know what wokeness has become. That
is the real virus, just saying the way it's spreading
everywhere and the damage it's doing. Better. Note, what are
your plans for Mother's Day? It's this Sunday. Allow me

(01:27:06):
to suggest a great gift idea, one that you can
get started on now and involve Mom and everyone else
in the project. It's the idea of revisiting your old
family films and videotapes by digitally transferring them. Legacy Box
is the best company for this project. Rush shared this
idea with us last year around Mother's Day. Now, Mother's

(01:27:28):
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, the
celebrations will include revisiting memories of times together in the past,
in some cases long ago. Sometimes they're going to be
memories of times long ago for which there are photos

(01:27:52):
and films and videos, but you can't see them because
they're so old that they're on formats. Nobody has anymore
VHS or Beta Mac Super eight, film slide projector kind
of things. Sharing stories is great 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,

(01:28:14):
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 out there and
is willing to do it for you. Legacy Box digitizes
and transfers old family films and videotapes onto either DVD

(01:28:36):
or thumb drives, or if you just want to put
them somewhere in the cloud, a cloud server for you
to download. They'll do that as well, so that everybody
in the family or friends of the 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

(01:28:57):
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 digital transfer high
speed all that maintaining the best original quality, and they
get it back to you in a couple of weeks.

today and I'm thrilled that you're here. Great calls today,
by the way, well as always, but special today. I

(01:29:39):
don't know why. Maybe because it's Tuesday, and you know
Tuesday and special eight hundred two A two twenty eight
eighty two. Let's go to Andy in Wisconsin. Andy, you're
on the Rush Limbaugh show. Ken, thank you so very much,
and my heart does go out to Rush. I just
wanted to share with you my father's been a p

(01:30:00):
officer for fifty one years. We still put the uniform
on today. In his forty sixth year, he had an
incident where somebody put a knife into his neck twice.
And like he said, he said, an incident like this
will not make me retire. I will retire when I

(01:30:22):
want to retire. Wow. One other shout out is to
mister Scott Walker, our past governor. Without people knowing that
man freed up his day and sat with my father
for two and a half hours in the recu in
his room the day after the incident. And there's nothing

(01:30:44):
more to me than knowing who my father is and
the man the man that he is, And that's incredible,
and I would imagine you probably get some wisdom from
him over the years. But what is his advice for
what's happening now. I mean, half a century in law enforcement.

(01:31:05):
He probably could write a book. But what is he
telling you that he's seeing now? What is his advice?
Simply stay forward, stay focused, and make sure the path
that you walk is a true one. Well, it sounds

(01:31:26):
like he's done it. I'm glad you called Andy. I
really appreciate it. Eight hundred two two twenty eight eighty
two Linda in Saint Louis. Hi, Linda, you're on the
Rushrooms Show. All right, thank you, Good afternoon. Ken. Hello, Hi,
I was calling about your earlier piece on the CIA

(01:31:47):
promo ad. Yes, that was an actual that was an
actual recruitment ad. Are you thinking about joining the CIA? No,
I'm a little old for that. But actually I have
another take on that ad. It's to me talked she
talked about all of her accomplishments, how she's done all
this stuff, and she's a woman of color, and she's

(01:32:09):
been promoted through the ranks and all of this. So
to me, that ad kind of disintegrates the argument that
all our systems are full of racism, because she's shown
that she can work hard and get through And where
is the racism and that if she's a woman of colors. Wow,

(01:32:32):
that is in a stude observation. You're absolutely correct. In fact,
what if she did the entire commercial without mentioning her
race or her sexual orientation. If she just said, you know,
I put myself through school, I went through training, i'm
a mother, I'm all these different things. Oh, I agree

(01:32:52):
with you, that's exactly it should be. I mean, but
what you call yeah, what you observed though, is so true,
and that it happens so often, does it not? So
many times we see these racial dynamics involved in something
where some people like yourself are listening and going, so,
what's the point you're there, you're doing well, you weren't

(01:33:15):
discriminated against. I don't understand you know, yes, I completely agree,
But we need to get back to a society like
Martin Luther King envisions, where I love the John Wooden
quote that says I am not better than anyone, but
I am not worse than anyone. And that's how I
look at people that I run into in my daily life,

(01:33:37):
and that's how we should all be looking at people.
What a great what a great message. Thank you, Linda.
And as you were talking, you were reminding me of
how Rush interacted with so many different people, and you
heard it over the years thirty plus years of Rush

(01:33:59):
talking to us as listeners, more than thirty years. But
what was so amazing is this is what you hear most,
and I would hear it. Oh I met Rush in person.
Oh my gosh, he's nothing like like they say on
CNN or any number of people that disagree with them.

(01:34:19):
I just I'm so sad that now in this country,
in particular on the left, particularly on the left, if
you disagree with someone, you have a right to just
attack them, even if you don't even know him. It's
amazing how wokeness pops up in so many problem areas.

(01:34:42):
For lack of a better term, wokeness, the look I
think woke is a joke. Just to be clear, it's
much better to be awake than woke. Woke is it's
the renaming, the repositioning of something that we talked about
this before. It's like saying something's hate speech when free
speech is free speech and being awake is being awake.

(01:35:05):
The woke thing is you better be thinking like I
want you to think, or you're not as awake as me.
You're not woke. So I have to share this article
with you. And I don't know if you saw it.
This is from Vogue magazine, so you know right there
it's it's gonna be hip Vogue. You've probably seen the
logo This is UK Vogue, so this is Vogue with

(01:35:28):
an accent, so it's going to be extra hip. Yes,
and listen to this title is having a baby in
twenty twenty one, pure environmental environmental vandalism. And that's the
other thing about woke. Woke is so far from common

(01:35:51):
sense that when you first hear it, you have to
do a double take. Have you noticed that when woke
people say something, you go just for a minute, You're like,
you're you're being sarcastic, right, right, Caitlyn Jenner, this is
you're just joking me. You want to run for governor

(01:36:13):
and she's woke. But let's go back to Vogue and
I'll read some of this to you. For the scientifically
engaged person, there are a few questions more troubling when
looking at the current climate emergency than having a baby.
Excuse me, I had to sneeze. I was gonna laugh,

(01:36:34):
but I decided not to because when you think about
the stupidity of this article. Is there anybody out there?
Well maybe now, But I know when my wife and
I wanted to have kids, we didn't say what about
the current climate emergency? Of course it was almost twenty
years ago, but it was a big climate emergency then

(01:36:54):
because al Gore was still you know, he was still
around and ninety pounds lighter. But so they go on
to say, are there any more questions more troubling than
the current climate emergency? Whether your body thrives to reproduce throbs,

(01:37:16):
or you passively believe that it is on the cards
or in the cards for you one day, or you
actively seek to remain child free. The declining health of
the planet cannot help but factor into your thinking. Who
thinks like this other than the Greta Thunberg possibly, or

(01:37:41):
some radical leftist environmentalist. Now this woman has had a baby,
she's writing about it. I don't know her age. She
sounds like millennial, maybe early, well, early thirty would be
a millennial. She said, before I got pregnant, I worried
feverishly about the strain on the Earth's resources that another

(01:38:02):
another Western child would add. So this is Vogue magazine
all over. You know, the UK version of Vogue can
get it around. You can get it here too, but
you know it's Vogue magazine. So this is a fashion magazine,
a hipster fashion magazine. It's thick, mostly adds, way overpriced.

(01:38:25):
Everybody's airbrushed. It's really glossy. And this is what they're
talking about. They're talking about. You're thinking of getting pregnant.
Do you know what a drain on our planet that
could be? She goes on to say, as I was
thinking about the baby that I might have, I thought
about the food he would eat, the nappies he would wear,

(01:38:48):
the electricity he would use. Who thinks like this? I'm sorry,
this is foreign to me. I don't well foreign in
the sense that it's the UK, but it's just weird. Honey,
what about the electricity he might use? I don't know.
Your baby's got to be pretty darn big to you know,
to drain the grid before he even started sitting up,

(01:39:13):
My child would have already contributed far more to climate
change than his counterpart, say in the South Sudan. Okay,
So this woman's a nut. This is the danger of wokeness.
This woman has devalued human life. So it's less than

(01:39:38):
whatever else might be out there. You know, Let's not
bring life into the world because of the rainforest. Let's
not bring life into the world because people are starving.
This is how a lot of people, the super rich,
the people that might be destroying our planet at a

(01:40:00):
rate unimaginable hundreds of years ago, the super rich. This
is how the movie stars, the ones that fly in
on a lear jet to the Hampton's and then they
rent a bicycle for the weekend. And the photo of
them on the bicycle, you see them driving her. Oh look,
here's Leonardo DiCaprio on No, he's on a unicycle. Look

(01:40:21):
at his balance, and then he gets back on his
lear jet. But she goes on to say the author
even people living regular lives in an economically developed country
like me are having a disproportionately high impact on the world.
So there's no talk at all in this entire article.

(01:40:43):
And this is what's so scary about people that are brainwashed.
Millions are brainwashed like this generationally. It's being taught. It's
wokesm it's being reinforced from every place, from entertainment channels
to the weather channel, or maybe they're one and the same.

(01:41:03):
So there's no discussion about my child, the health of
my child, the beauty of bringing life into the world,
and what contribution might my child make. What if my
child makes a contribution that helps the world be better?
What if my child brings smiles to another person's life

(01:41:27):
or an organization is created that helps the world. It's
totally opposite. It's like, darn if I wasn't a human.
Darn't it. I can't reproduce. There's coal over there. I
think we have time for a quick call here, Al
in Wisconsin. How can you pronounce the name of your

(01:41:50):
city so I don't get it wrong? Oh Claire, Okay,
see I would have gotten it wrong. But anyway, welcome,
Welcome to the EIB network. Yeah. I just wanted to say,
you know, about this defund the peace and stuff. I
think you should go back and listen to a speech
that Obama gave when he was running for president. He

(01:42:13):
was given on July second of two thousand and eight
in Boulder, Colorado, and about sixteen seventeen minutes into the speech,
he talks about having a national security force that's as
big and well funded as the US military. So I
think that's what's really behind you fund the police. They

(01:42:34):
wanted to defund the peace then create so much they
have so much crime and stuff. All we got to
do something. Well, we'll have a National Priest Force which
the Democrats think they'll control, and you know that will happen.
Then that that is a great point because when you
look at the pillars of communism, they spelled it out

(01:42:56):
repeatedly that we have to have central command for education,
central command for production and economy, central command for security.
That is exactly can you imagine? Could you imagine if
Joe Biden was also the police chief, we would all
be longing for Barney five. If we just had Barney

(01:43:17):
and Andy, they would fix it. Eight hundred two eight
two twenty eight eighty two. This is the Rush Limboughs
Show on the EIB network. And we'll be right back.
Perhaps someone has already come up to you today. If
they haven't, I'll be the first to say it. May
the fourth be with you. It's not a no, it's
I'm not tongue tied, although I have been. Today it's

(01:43:39):
Star Wars Day And where did this come from? When
Disney acquired Lucasfilm in twenty twelve, they created a holiday.
Corporations will do that, sometimes using it in twenty twenty
to mark the finale of the animated series Star Wars.

(01:44:00):
So it is Star Wars Day. May the fourth be
with you on What better occasion than to revisit Rush's
Family Guy appearance. Hey, mine, if I turned on the
radio wtat Tattooine's All Talk radio, my good friends, the
liberal galactic media is at it again. They never stopped.
Now they're trying to convince us that Hawth is melting Well,

(01:44:21):
that's crazy, just trying to scare us. And if that
weren't enough to get you mad, we now have news
that Lando Calrissian has been made the chief administrator of
the Best Spend Mining Facility. Gee, I wonder how he
got that job. Will let me tell you how he
got that job. Affirmative action strikes again. That is iconic.

(01:44:42):
I actually have that that episode recorded. I completely forgot
about that. That is crazy. And Rush actually appeared on
the show more than once. And if you're wondering how
that came to be, here he is explaining it to
a call how he wound up on Family Gunnington, Delaware.
You're next on the program. Hello, Hi, Rush, How are

(01:45:04):
you good. I was watching Family Guy last Sunday and
there was a scene where it sounded like I heard
your voice, and then I saw your name in the credits,
and I wanted to know how that came about. I
was sitting here in minding my own business, and we
got a call from Seth McFarland, who was the creator
of the program, and he asked, and this is back
in Yeah, I think it was April or May, and

(01:45:26):
he said, we're working on our season premiere for next
season oh seven, and we're a little Star Wars thing,
and we've got a little bit of the script we'd
like you to do. Would you do it? They said
what the script end was? It was fine, so I said, sure,
love to so they on the day we recorded. I
recorded it here in my studio and they were out
in Holly whatever they are, I guess. It took about
twenty minutes to get it the way they wanted it done,

(01:45:48):
and there was nice they could be. It was a
lot of fun to do. Do you ever watched the show?
I had never seen it. I had to go find
out what it was. I don't watch cartoons. I haven't
seen the Simpsons either. In a long, long time. Nothing
against it. I'm just not cartoons to me or for
eight year olds. Sure can I also tell you that
back when I was nineteen I'm twenty nine now, I

(01:46:09):
once gave twenty dollars to President Clinton's defense fund, and
shortly after that, I started to listen to you, and
I started to think. And then I went on to
go to law school, and I became president of the
Republican group at my law school, and I'm now practicing law.
But I'm definitely conservative and been listening to you for

(01:46:30):
ten years, and you are the one who changed my thinking.
So I just want to thank you for that. Well,
that is nice of you to say. I appreciate that.
I love hearing these kinds of stories because whether you
know it or not, this kind of thing happens a lot.
And this threatens the Democrats, that threatens the left, and
it makes me a bit of a target, which I say,
bring it on, But you're very kind. I really appreciate that.

(01:46:53):
Thanks so much. Rush went on to appear on Family
Guy again, as you may remember, and we'll be sure
to play that at another day, but for now, on
Star Wars Day, we like to think of him up
among those stars in a galaxy far far away, but
always close in memory. Here on the EIB network, And

edge news and analysis. This May issue is hot off

(01:47:38):

left is turning its weapons of cultural destruction on the
military and the danger that it poses for national security.

right back by the way. The May the fourth be
with You was the EIB high note of the day,
and I know a lot of people, including Rush, enjoyed that.

(01:48:23):
Let's go to Richard in Texas. Richard, you're on the
EIB network. Hey, I just want to say I want
to thank y'all very much because every time you put
Russia on the radio, I forget he's gone. I love
I love him so much, but listening for a long time,
I called in h Nobmber eleven, Nomber fifteen thousand, two

(01:48:44):
thousand and eleven and told him something that Obama says
that he didn't know Obama, so it says me and
I've had two a case of his key and a
book an army of one and I was wow, three
a half something but his name on it. But I
had a young man stay with me and he stole
an iPad for me, and I'm like, oh, it wasn't
so much the ip as a fact that I had

(01:49:06):
eib and Rush Limbaugh and that time that I s
every time I hear Rushes, every time I hear his boys,
it's like it's like he's dot. He invented this game.
He was the best dad, that he was always right
when he predicted suff Yes he did. He opened the
doors for many many people. Thank you so much, Richard.

(01:49:26):
That was a beautiful call. I can't believe someone stole
the iPad. Well, make sure you go back to rush
Limbaugh dot com, because as I was I was scrolling
through it. Here during the commercial break, and that thing
we had on yesterday, mask or the new Ribbons, that
hysterical sketch that Rush did probably twenty plus years ago

(01:49:47):
on the TV show. You got to check it out.
There's a funny picture of and he plays that character
so well when he puts all the ribbons and stuff on.
But you talk about a person that is really paying
attention to the direction and the greatness of America, but
also the culture. And like Richard said, and I feel

(01:50:09):
the same thing when I'm listening to other guides. I
hear a Rush segment and you for that moment, it's
almost hard to believe that he's moved on, and we're
thrilled that you're still here. So eight hundred two eight
two twenty eight eighty two, and I'm going to be
back tomorrow, And before I go, I just want to

(01:50:31):
remind you again about Rush Limbaugh, the man behind the
Golden EIB microphone, with our friend James Golden, our very
own bow Snerdley. One week from tomorrow, he will be
doing a twelve part series on everything that went on
in front and behind the mic, and he is really

(01:50:52):
the man to do it. James worked with Rush for
over thirty years and the team that made this possible.
He was one of the leaders on that team. And
I also want to thank the team for today for
putting all those great cuts in. We covered so much
ground today and we were still able to get some
wonderful calls in and that means the world to us. God,

(01:51:14):
bless you, be safe. We'll see you tomorrow.
