Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbo Show podcast.
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush twenty four seven podcast. Hey,
you know how this works. I sit here and I
say Rush is going to be back tomorrow, and then
it turns in to guest host Groundhog Day, chuntering on
(00:26):
all week, and nobody likes guest host Groundhog Day. So
all we're going to say is Rush will return. You
know why he's out. Rush will return when he is
at full strength. And if you have been listening throughout
the last few months, you will know that Rush at
(00:47):
full strength is industrial strength. You don't want to get
too close to the receiving apparatus when you're listening to
Rush at full strength. So he will return on whatever
day this week he is at full strength. He does
appreciate hearing from you. You know how it's gone since
(01:07):
he announced this thing. We do the mega prayers thing
like the megadettos, if you want to say that when
you call in one eight hundred two eight two two
eight eight two. He loves getting messages from you. And
if you go to Rush limba dot com you will
see it's the I think it's the third or fourth button.
Along and the menu bar even above the big logo
(01:28):
saying the Rush Limbaugh Show, so you don't have to
scroll down. It's right at the top of the page,
third or fourth button along and that is where you
can leave your special messages for Rush. If you click
on that button. You can also upload photographs or an
amusing jif if you think it will tickle him, and
he does like to hear from you on that. But
(01:49):
Rush will return when he is at full strength. And
Rush at full strength has been an indispensable element in
this year's elect season. As I said one eight hundred
two eight two eight eight two, love to hear from you,
especially love to hear from liberal callers who all cock
a hoop at the impending Biden landslide. Love to hear
(02:13):
from you. One eight hundred two eight two eight eight two.
I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. As
you know, the passing of Labor Day means that we
are now in the final leg of the presidential election campaign,
and it feels slightly weird because this time around we
(02:33):
haven't had any of the other legs, so it is
most bizarre to have a final leg when you haven't
been pre legged with all the other non final legs.
But basically what happened was things were more or less
normal around New Hampshire Primary day, if you can remember
that far back to February when Biden got absolutely humiliated
(02:55):
and then James Clyburne ordered everybody out to vote for
Joe on Super Tuesday. And within about forty eight hours
of Super Tuesday, all these people that nobody even remembers. Now,
I'd remember Bloomberg he was running for president and mayor
Pete that guy, to remember him. He was a bit
of a nosebleed. He really couldn't stand that guy, But
(03:16):
nobody cares because nobody remembers him. Now, within about forty
eight hours, all the other people had folded and Joe
Biden bestrode the landscape like a colossus. And then ten
minutes after that, the whole thing shut down for the
next six months, almost as if Chairman Gee had planned
it that way. And so we are now in a
final leg without having had any of the other legs,
(03:38):
and nobody knows anything. This time four years ago, eight
years ago, twelve, twenty years ago. The people to listen
to were the experts who studied all these cyphological things
about demographic shifts in key Ohio districts and all the
None of that matters now because no one knows how
(04:03):
how those sephological aspects intersect with lockdown and looting and
all the other things that have been going on in
this most bizarre year. I'm interested to know you're taking it,
because yours is as good as any of the experts.
I would estimate right now that if today were election day,
we would have a narrow victory by Donald J. Trump.
(04:26):
I say this because my estimate is that when the
polling gap gets to within three to four points, that
actually means Trump is slightly ahead. So if you look
at the way he's closed the gap in North Carolina
and Florida, I would say Trump is actually ahead there.
So he would be on course for a narrow victory
(04:47):
if today were election day. But the forces ranged against
Trump know that, and they're increasingly open about the fact
that they intend not merely to deny him a victory,
but too deny him an election day. These statements by
secretaries of state in key states such as Michigan that
(05:09):
the results in their jurisdiction will not be known quote
for weeks is most bizarre. And also this now routine
couporn about Trump refusing to leave office, and we should
be prepared for that, and we should have plans for that,
(05:29):
and the media, not just the Democrats and not just
the courts, and but also the media should have plans
for Trump's refusal to leave office. The whole point about
this is to actually diminish the very possibility of a
normal election day well before election day, and turn us
(05:53):
into Belarus, where whatever election is held and whatever result
comes out, if it's favorable to Trump, it's an illegitimate election.
It's something it's something that I think is actually quite
unprecedented in any long settled self governing society, where all
the experts and something like three quarters of the establishment
(06:16):
are announcing that there's no possibility of us being able
to run a normal election day campaign. At the very least,
it's all going to stagger on for weeks, no possibility
really once you allow for that, no possibility really of
allowing for a result in time for inauguration day. It's
probably going to stagger on February, April July. It's quite
(06:41):
it's quite astonishing. I can't think of any comparable example
anywhere in the history of any self governing society. And
don't forget this country has been holding presidential elections for
two and a third centuries, and it started holding them
before there were computers, before there were telephones, before there
(07:03):
was a post office. So the idea that it cannot sold, no, no, no,
there's no possibility. If you're thinking of, you know, sw
switching on Walter Cronkite on November the third and getting
the result by nine forty seven in the no possibility
of that. Check back with US in February, check back
with US next April. It's quite staggering. And the reason
(07:25):
they're doing it is because last time round they made
one big mistake. They'd already been running a deep state
operation against Trump, and the mistake they made was on
election night when it became clear that Hillary had not
ramped up a big enough margin of victory in Miami
(07:48):
Dade County to overcome the Florida Panhandle results when they
came in, so it became clear that Trump was on
course to win Florida. So there was that couple of
hours two three, four hours on Tuesday night when Trump
actually appeared to have won the election and was presented
(08:09):
as having won the election. They're not going to do
that this time. The media are not going to do that.
There's a good chance that Facebook and Twitter, Twitter has
been practicing for some time by memory holding tweet Trump's
bigger tweets and all the rest of it. You can
(08:29):
look for things going wacky with his Twitter account on Tuesday,
November the third, And if it does look like Joe
Biden's come up short in Miami Dade County in the
early Florida results at nine forty seven in the evening,
by nine to fifty three, there are going to be
the usual crowd now out on the streets that we've
(08:50):
seen in Portland and Seattle and Rochester and Kenosha. The
whole point is they're not going to make the same
mistake as twenty sixteen and allow him, even for a
few hours, to present himself as a legitimate victim. Meanwhile,
we have his so called opponent. You know, six months ago,
(09:12):
I used to do jokes about how nutty Biden was.
The stuff he said that was quite bonkers. The Cornpop
story the greatest anecdote in the history of American political anecdotes,
just off the charts, hilarious, all the fine precision detail
in it about sharpening his cutthroat razor in the rain
(09:36):
barrel and all the rest of it, all the fantastic, precise,
lunatic detail in it. Now we have a Joe Biden.
It's not when he's just saying stuff that's bonkers, that's sad.
It's that when he's just saying ordinary stuff and he's
staggering around in this horse whisper, you know, like I'm
(09:57):
just doing a couple of days ago when he was
talking about how it was a black man who invented
the light bulb, and he starts doing it in this
hush and that hushed whisper thing he does, which can
be quite effective if you're like inventing an anecdote about
pinning a medal on some guy in Afghanistan, which was
the first time he started using it, but now he
(10:20):
does it all the time, and it just makes him
sound hard. The other thing that is weird is that
it's clear he's answering questions off the teleprompter now, so
that if you ask him a question, they have these
pre screened reporters at these bizarre events he does, and
they ask him questions and their softball questions. But even
(10:45):
the softball answers now are typed out for him live.
You can actually see it. There's clips on the internet
where he's asking him to move the prompter up closer
to him so that he can see the answer as
the guy is starting to type it. They're typing the
question to anodyne questions. At the AFLCIO event, he did
(11:08):
he got some softball bland question, wasn't really clear what
it was about, and he waits. There's this pause, and
then the guy off stage starts typing in the answer,
and he starts reading it out in this strange, disjointed way.
And yet no one, no one in the media reports
(11:29):
this is he going to be doing that? Is he?
Is he going to have someone typing in the answers
on the prompter at the debate in three weeks time
or is there not going to be a debate in
three weeks time. That's the state of play as I
say it now. Anyway, Biden is getting worse by the week.
Trump is on course for a narrow victory. Both those
(11:52):
elements are in a sense subordinate to the fact that
huge Owen just attired all together, this stupid story about
the military where they're now rolling it back. He wasn't
he wasn't being rude about America's Great War dead in France.
He was apparently referring to his current general staff, which
(12:14):
is a perfectly legitimate thing. The general staff thought they
could contain him and keep putting keep him putting boots
on the ground, like American presidents have been doing all
this century to no good effect. And it's and it's
interesting to me this the way they're opening up a
split between the president and the military, as if they're
(12:38):
as if as part of these strange pre preparations for
you know, the pre announcement of a coup in effect
on November the third, or the at least the denial
of any possibility that Donald J. Trump could win is
now is now embracing the military as well. This, by way,
(13:00):
the whole reason they're talking about old Trump may refuse
to leave the White House. What are we going to do?
We better make plans for things. We need to do
things that the Democrats need to do, things, The Court
needs to do things, the Secret Service needs to do things,
the military needs to do things, the media need to do.
In the event that Trump refuses to leave the White House,
(13:21):
so that by the time they do do them on
the morning of November the fourth, it will all seem
entirely normal, because they've been talking about them for months.
There's a very interesting passage in the GK. Chesterton novel
The Man Who Was Thursday, in which he's talking about
anarchists of the early twentieth century. And these are a
(13:41):
group of European anarchists, and they all meet every Sunday
for brunch in a restaurant in Leicester Square, London. And
because they're anarchists holding a brunch in the heart of
London in public, nobody takes them very seriously, because in
a sense they're hiding in plain sight. And the great
Irish revolutionary Michael Collins, very clever man Michael Collins assassinated
(14:06):
during the Irish Civil War in nineteen twenty two, but
a brilliant clever man. He read this passage in Chesterton's
book about the London anarchists hiding in plain sight, and
he thought it was brilliant, and so he plotted in
plain sight, which is what you're not meant to do
with conspiracies. You meant to hold them tight. Instead. He
did the GK. Chesterton thing, and he and his fellow
(14:29):
Irish revolutionarists all sat around in prominent restaurants plotting the
overthrow of the government. And that's actually what we're seeing now,
you know, where we're having perfectly normal conversations, perfectly normal
conversations about extraordinary measures unprecedented in American history to deal
(14:52):
with a deal with this hypothetical situation of Trump refusing
to leave office. And the idea is that by the
time then they talk about it through September, they talk
about through October, and then by the time they start
actually acting on it circa eight o'clock in the morning
on November the fourth, then it will not be in
(15:13):
the least surprising to you. That's my big picture take
on where we stand right now in the final leg
of a legless presidential election season. Do give me yours?
One eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two
mark Stein in for Rush, mark Stein in for Rush
on America's number one radio show. You know, I don't know.
(15:37):
I don't often disagree with Victor Davis Hanson, who's a
brilliant man in many ways, but that's one one thing
has heard him say. In fact, I think I was
next to him on stage when he said it somewhere
out in California a few years ago that I think
about from time to time. He said that this whole
race thing, the racial prison through which everything in America
(16:02):
is now viewed. It's all we talk about while China
takes over the world. We argue about whether some guy
born in the eighteenth century was racist. That's going to
work out great for us. But one things that Victor
said was he thought that as there was more intermarriage
across the races, that race would eventually become irrelevant. I
(16:24):
could sort of see where he was going. I remember
at Hillsdale when I was out teaching at Hillsdale College
in Michigan one time and the student said, oh, come
and drink with us in the student bar. I think
it was called the Hunt Club something like that. So
I went to the Hunt Club to enjoy a bit
of hospitality with them, and I found myself sitting next
(16:47):
to a young lady with very striking looks, and eventually
I asked her, you know what her background was, because
they were very striking. She said she was half Slovene,
half Filipina, and you only get that in America. That
would not be possible without the United Where else would
a Slovene meet someone from the Philippines, beautiful young lady.
(17:08):
And I remember thinking about Victor's thing, Oh, when we
have all this, it's actually become quite the opposite now
now that black lives matter, people define themselves as black
in circumstances where they ought to actually be thinking of themselves.
As Victor said, in post racial terms. It's always striving
to me an election season because it's become a tradition
(17:32):
now in America for Joe Biden to run with a
British subject. He ran with the last time around with
Barack Obama, who's a Kenyan, who's a son of a
Kenyan subject of her majesty born in colonial Kenya, British subject.
And now he's running with the child of a Jamaican
(17:57):
father and an Indian mother, Kamala Harris. And so that's
simply this season's British subjects almost like the Revolution never happened.
It's like the early presidents, who also all children of
British subjects and African Americans just get totally cut out
of this deal. It's like whenever there's the first black
this or the first black that being African American turns
(18:19):
out to be nothing to do with it. It's just
another British subject. I'm actually surprised by the fullbearance of
the black families who've been part of this country's story
since the beginning, at their genial tolerance of all this. Anyway,
Kamala Harris was on the TV with Dan Abash on
CNN and she was asked about whether she would take
(18:43):
this supposed vaccine. We're going to get into that in
just a moment on Rush. Yes, Rush is out today.
You know why that is. And he will return when
he is back at full strength. And as I said,
you do in order to be too close to the
(19:04):
receiving apparatus when he is at full strength, because he's
been pretty spectacularly at full strength these last few months.
When he said just before the bottom of the hour,
I was talking about Kamala Harris, she was asked by
Dana Bash on Sunday about whether she would take a
(19:28):
Trump vaccine. So let's just say there is a vaccine,
asks Danna, that is approved and even distributed before the election,
would you get it? And sitting socially distant across the room,
Kamala Harris said, well, I think that's going to be
an issue for all of us. I will say that
I would not trust Donald Trump, and it would have
(19:48):
to be a credible source of information that talks about
the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about.
I will not take his word for it. He wants
us to inject bleach. I will not take his word.
If there is a vaccine, which they're now talking about,
it will be a vaccine that is approved by the
(20:08):
United States government. But because it's a United States government
under Donald J. Trump, Kamala Harris is now talking as
if he's just like mixing it up in a beaker
in the Oval office. He was working in his lab
late one night and he started to do the mash.
(20:30):
He did the COVID mash and mixed it all up
in his beaker and he's now wanting to shoot it
into your veins. This is the insanity of the world
we live in. They're supposed to be the ones mocking
the anti vax as, the superstitious ones where the Party
of science. But if it's science that happens to occur,
(20:51):
I might not even be invented in America. These guys
in Oxford seem to be pretty close to a vaccine,
so be something that comes with the imprimatur of the world.
It might be the same vaccine that they're getting in
the UK, it might be the same vaccine that they're
getting in the European Union. It might be the same
(21:11):
vaccine that they're getting in Australia and Canada. But because
in America it comes with the approval of the government
of the United States, which means Donald Trump might have
gone in there and he might have just put in
a bit of bleach in there for you to stick
in your arm. She's going to be super wary and
(21:31):
might not actually take it. There is a madness in
the air, and I don't believe the I don't believe
the bulk of the American people are that deranged against
Trump and this coupawn that they're all. I think that's
Byron York's term that he came up with. The Democrats
(21:53):
always a bit of this. In two thousand and eight,
it was assassination pawn. You'd find liberal columnists talking about
how if Barack Obama one in Tuesday Night in November,
then the deranged right wing guy would take Obama out,
and they're always doing a bit of projecting here basically
where in the situation wherein Donald Trump was denied his
(22:18):
first term in large part because so much of his
time was tied up fending off absolutely disgraceful behavior by
the likes of Peter Struck. Some things they've tried all that.
They've tried deep state mashinations, they've tried impeachment, they've tried investigations.
Now we're going to go for political violence starting about
(22:40):
nine to fifty three on election night. And they're serious
about that, and we should actually because they're talking about
it upfront, which is not normal, and because they're saying
that a country that's held elections for two and the
third centuries cannot hold an election on election day this year,
(23:01):
which again no other settled, self governing society is saying.
They don't say they have elections, and they plan for
elections all over Europe, all over the British Commonwealth. Nobody's saying, oh,
like the secretaries of States are in Michigan and Ohio
and all, Yes, well, election day, we won't know the
(23:23):
real result for weeks and weeks and weeks, So forget
about election day. We don't have those anymore. They have
those in other countries, but we don't have them. It's
going to be months. It's deeply bizarre, and they're and
they're doing what really clever people do, which has hied
the conspiracy in plain sight. Now on this business with
(23:44):
the military and Rush and Trump, Trump is in huge trouble.
Supposedly it's a non story. And this guy I sort
of have a slight acquaintanceship with, Jeffrey Goldberg that the
Atlantic Monthly is backpeddling, backpeddling, backpeddling on this story that
the Trump called the dead of the First World War
(24:08):
loses and that's now all getting walked back because there's
basically nineteen people on the record who on that Paris strip.
That's actually part of the problem. The nineteen people go
on the trip. God, but those those nineteen people have
contradicted the anonymous sources that said Trump called these guys losers.
(24:30):
Now Rush on Friday, and you might not have heard this,
it was just before he checked out for the weekend.
But Rush made a most interesting point about Donald Trump
and the military. Here it is Donald Trump, maybe the
most anti war president alive, the most heavy war president,
(24:52):
we've had in our lifetimes now. He's not an anty
war left wing protester. What he hates is the needless
loss of life by sending the US military all over
the world in operations that have nothing to do with
American national security, American national interest, or American strategic interest.
(25:16):
He's not a believer in sending soldiers all over the
world just to make sure people make money in the process.
He is the only person in Washington who looks at
war as a losing proposition for America unless we're threatened,
unless we are directly threatened, unless our national interests art stake.
(25:37):
He doesn't believe in using the American military as a nationwide,
worldwide police force. And he is in the process of
trying to bring soldiers home from as many places around
the world as he can. Not because he thinks they're losers,
not because he thinks they're incompetent, not because he thinks
(26:00):
they're stupid and dumb to get killed in battle. He's
like every other president. The worst aspect of the job
is having to call the parents and family members of
service members who have fallen in battle. He is a
(26:20):
commander in chief who shows his support of the military
by not sending them around the world into quagmires to
unwinnable wars. He does not favor keeping American troops in
dangerous places simply so the American military industrial complex can
(26:42):
have a source of income that never ends. And Rush
is absolutely right there. Trump is probably the most anti
war president in living memory in America. And you know
why because we haven't actually won a war in seventy
five years now. So when he calls these people losers,
(27:05):
he's talking about his general stuff. He's talking about becles.
It's not enough. We've been in Afghanistan for twenty years,
and we've been in Syria because of the Arab Spring
for god knows how many years that is. But where
else where else can we go and have some frutling,
pointless two decade unserious occupation with no war aims. One
(27:28):
of the Washington uniparty is wedded to this, this view
of and meanwhile, serious countries have serious countries have armed
forces that operate in the national interests. You may have
seen this thing came out a couple of days ago.
It's actually very big news. China now has the biggest
navy in the world in terms of its surface fleet,
(27:52):
and various other measurements. China has the biggest navy in
the world. That's actually something that would have been extraordinary
if you'd said this twenty five years ago. And by
the way, you paid for China. How do you think
they got to have the world's biggest navy. How do
you think they've got the money for all those extra ships.
They got it by you going to Walmart and buying
you these colors. Don't run T shirt from Walmart. That's
(28:17):
how they got the money to become the dominant naval
power on Earth. But it's worse than that, because Chinese
ships act only in the interests of China. They're a
projection of Chinese national power. The US Navy is all
over the planet, protecting all kinds of other countries, other jurisdictions,
(28:41):
oftentimes countries that loathe US, where you could land in
the middle of them and not find a single person
within a two hundred mild radius who's got a good
thing to say about the United States. And yet we
have vast military expenditures sending this navy all around the
world in America's interest, but in the interests of all
(29:03):
kinds of other countries. Now CNN says this faupa by
Trump where he called American soldiers losers, even though everyone
says he didn't say, this is going to be a
disaster for Trump because veterans provided his margin of victory
in the twenty sixteen election. Because if you take veterans
(29:23):
as a segment of the American population, they actually outnumber Hispanics.
They actually outnumber young people, the young voters eighteen to
twenty nine. It's a it's a very significant sliver of
the election. And so what Trump said, according to CNN,
will now have cost him the election because he's offended
all the soldiers. No, not at all the soldiers who
(29:44):
are actually the first people. The veterans were actually the
first people to get onto this that they kept being
sent around the world pitched boots on the ground, as
they say, boots on the ground. Where the guy back
at CENTCOM the geniuses in the Pentagon had no actual idea,
(30:06):
They knew nothing about the ground they were putting the
boots on, and they had no strategic war aims for
why the boots were on the ground. And you can't
go to war. You can have the best men in
the world, you can have the best trained men in
the world. You can have the best equipment in the world,
and none of it matters if you have no idea
(30:28):
what you were doing there, or why you're running, why
you're running around Hellman Province in Afghanistan. And there's those Afghans,
say the Americans of all the watches, but we have
all the times. Every goat herd on the planet, not
just in Waziristan. Every goat herd on the planet understands
that shock and are now, oh, it's oh, well, what's
(30:50):
all whether they've suddenly lit up the sky or don't
worry about it, that's a shock and are They'll do
that for forty eight hours, seventy two hours, and then
they'll settle down to a twenty year pointless occupation where
we can just bleed them to death, and ten minutes
after the last man leaves, no one will ever remember
that they were here or why they were here. He's
(31:13):
not wrong. The American way a war needs total rethinking.
Donald J. Trump was the first person to come along
and said, we after seventy five years of a big
whoop de doo, we need to rethink it. And as
a result, that's why you're seeing this all, he disrespects
the military. He disrespects a general staff that hasn't won anything.
(31:35):
Do you even remember the names of the chiefs of
staff who signed off on Afghanistan twenty years ago? This
is ridiculous, Mark Stein. For us, you're called straight ahead,
Mark Stein in for us. The President is in North
Carolina and Florida today, in both of which states he
has closed the gap he supposedly just I think he's
(31:59):
a point six percentes, a point six percent behind in
North Carolina, point behind in Florida, which means basically he's
ahead and he has to win Florida. Dave is on
the line from Tambay. You're fast up on the Russian
and Bull show today, Dave, great to have you with
us from the indispensable state of Florida. What's on your mind? Mark?
(32:22):
Thank you for taking my call. First of all, prayers
to Russian Catherine. Too often we forget about the caregiver
and that he does for him. Obviously, absolutely absolutely with him,
and I apologize for having to go to a foreigner
to get the answer to my question. But I'm really
concerned obviously about our election coming up in our republican
(32:42):
form of government, where we elect our representatives, and so
the electoral process is one that is essensible that it
be kept pure and trustworthy. And we've seen in the
past word the Democrats after election is done. All that
does is let them know what they need to make
(33:03):
up in order to win the election, and all of
a sudden, the ballots are created out of thin air,
end up in the trunk of somebody's car or something,
and they win an election that they had lost. Once
they know what the marker is, how can that be stopped?
And I don't know if that's a presidential you know directive,
if it has to come through Congress. That basically for
(33:26):
the for the for the rules to be set forth
for the federal election to say, okay, I know that
counties run the electoral process, but when you're counting vote
for a federal election, any ballot you count has to
be received honor before election day. I know I vote
(33:49):
many times absentee, and my absentee ballot the course that
has to be signed, so there's some verification. But the
absentee ballot has to be received by seven PM on
the date of the election. They're talking about waiting for
months and this thing could draw out into twenty one,
(34:09):
and we know the ramifications of that and what can happen,
which are just totally absurd in my mind that we
couldn't have a legitimate account by then, And the only
reason you couldn't is because of these ballots coming in
after the fact. What can be done to stop that
and say though we will only count for federal elections.
Obviously statan localities these can do whatever they want, but
(34:31):
for a federal election, those ballots have to be received
in the elections office by seven pm the prison on
the date of election. Well, as you know, it can
be done legally. Well, well, you've pointed to the anomally
in the situation, which is that it's a federal election
(34:54):
but is basically run at the county level by counties
that all have a difference in states that all have
their different systems, and the only degree of uniformity that's
imposed on it is if it ever ends up in
front of a judge, by which time it can be
already too late. Now you've pointed out that if it's
(35:15):
an absentee ballot, you have to get it in by
last mail on election day itself. They're actually talking about
moving it to the opposite system here. They want a
system whereby it's like your income tax. As long as
it's postmarked by election day, it counts well. The advantage
of that to the Democrats is that there is no
(35:37):
day when the election ends, so it can be, you know,
November twenty eighth, and they'll say, oh, no, no, no,
we're still waiting for some ballots that are called in
the mail. Okay, it's December the sixteenth, We're still there's
still a few ballots there might be out there February
the third. No, no, we may just let's give it
another say, well, you don't want to count every vote
(35:57):
or whatever. And I think there's only one way around this, Dave,
and that is that the president has to win sufficiently
big on the day itself, the real, reasonably honest election,
that there is no way the Democrats can steal it
from under him the minute you get into that. If
it's as it always is, if a Republican doesn't win
(36:21):
on election day, he doesn't win at all. The Democrats
win after gotta go. Keith, who's call screening on the
show today, reminds me that doctor Fauci says, this is
important that you can't wear white masks after Labor Day,
so do bear that in mind. Mark Steyn for Rush
(36:42):
slotsmore still to go. Yes, America's anchor man is away,
and this is your undocumented anchor Man Mark Stein. No
supporting paperwork what soever. And I usually say around about
this point in the show that if you're fleeing the country,
(37:05):
do swing by and say hello. We've got a big
sign up on the highway saying last Rush guest host
before the border, so you can't miss us. But in fact,
the US Canadian border has been closed for about six
months now, so you cannot even flee the country. So
I am furious with Chairman Gee and the Chinese Politburo
(37:28):
because I started doing that joke in whatever it was
August two thousand and six, something like that, I think
the first time I guest hosted, and I've been doing
it for forteen years quite happily, and I thought it
would see me to retirement. And those lousy Chinese commie
bums have now rendered my joke inoperatives. I can't say
it anymore, and I'm pretty annoyed with that. I'm actually
(37:52):
pretty staggered that all these temporary two week measures to
flatten the curve that we're introduced in March and now
about to enter their third quarter. My daughter the other day,
they've got this thing now because the border's closed. It's
you know, it's like twenty minutes north of me, and
(38:12):
such a weird thing it being closed. My daughter the
other day, they've introduced this thing where people trapped on
opposite sides of the border can Now they can't go
and meet each other, but they can go to the
border posts and they can like to touch the fence together,
you know, like when it's visiting hours in prison and
(38:34):
you're on one side of the glass and the other
person on the other side of the glass, but you
can touch your hands can sort a kind of touch
from the same position on the glass as when my
daughter did with a friend from Ottawa at the border
post at Rouse's Point, New York the other day. As
I said, almost like visiting hours in prison. Because there's
been a massive shrinkage in freedom of movement throughout the
(38:58):
Western world since this whole thing got god going six
months ago, and after six months people kind of get
used to it and think, well, you know, none of
it's ever coming back, may as well get used to it.
We try to stay on top of all of it
here at the Rush Limball Show. Do give us a
(39:18):
call one eight hundred two eight two eight eight two.
Rush is going to return when he's at full strength,
and that might be Thursday, might be you never know,
might be before Thursday, might be after Thursday. But don't
hold us to it. But when he's at full strength,
you don't want to miss it. And he has been
at full strength. I just want to get this out
(39:39):
of the way because I owe Rush really everything in
the United States. I'm just some guy. I'd had a
kind of semi respectable career in Canada and the UK
and various other parts of the British Commonwealth. I had
no sort of particular ambitions in America, and in so
far as I've achieved anything here, I owe to Rush.
(40:00):
And if I'm sounding sentimental, I'm about to make actually
the opposite point because the one time in these last
few months, and Rush over the summer in particular, has
been on absolutely cracking form. But the one time I
worried about him, I was just driving along listening to
Rush whatever it was. I guess it was something like
(40:22):
three months back, and he started talking about how touched
he'd been by something I think I'd said and something
Ken Matthews had said, and for the first time I
got I was really sort of shocked and had this
kind of great, big ache in my heart because the
(40:43):
one thing I always loved about Rush is that he
was just fabulously rude about the guest host He used
to love, you know, whenever he said anything about guests,
so he'd always be like sneering at the guests so
so he'd always be like mocking the guests hosts. It
has been like telling you that you don't have to
you know, he doesn't listen to the guests hosts. And
(41:06):
I always believe that. And I was terrified that. One
of the worst moments I've ever had behind the EIB
microphone was one day I was guest hosting from the
New York studio and suddenly he was supposed that Rush
was in Hawaii, and he suddenly called up and balled out.
(41:28):
I think it was mister Snurdley, or it might have
been Kit Carson, because I hadn't been plugging the new
Rush app often enough. And I was like terrified because
Rush had always assured us that he'd ever bothered with
the guests host. I was absolutely terrified at the idea
of the guy was on his vacation in Hawaii and
(41:48):
was furious with me for not mentioning the new Rush
Limbaugh app enough. And I always loved the way he
just he just like made cheap cracks about the guests
hosts in like a Sid Caesar kind of way, in
like Don Rickles making jokes about his warbaback. So I
just liked it in showbiz tabs and I was absolutely
(42:11):
aghast when suddenly, whatever it was three or four months ago,
I was just tootling down the road and I hear
Rush being sentimental about the guests hot. So I want
Rush to be back. Everybody is a definition of what
it means when you have this bootal treatment that Rush
is undergoing today, what it means to be back at
full strength. And for me, authentic Rush full strength is
(42:35):
when he's back to just sneering at the loser guests host,
because I love him when he does that. It's a
classic showbiz moment. One eight hundred two eight two two
eight eight two. We were talking just before the break
about voter fraud. It was very so we had an
interestant case in Lebanon, New Hampshire, which is a little
ways down the road from me Lebanon, New Hampshire. They're
(42:58):
prosecuting a guy who voted twice in twenty sixteen. Oddly enough,
one of the identities under which he voted is the
name of someone who is a ballot supervisor for the
Democrat Party, so you can sort of see which way
his extra vote is going. A thousand people double voted
(43:22):
in the Georgia primary, says the Georgia Secretary of State
about the primary on June ninth. Double voters know exactly
what they're doing. This is intentional. What's different. And to
use my old line from the early years of this century,
(43:44):
I always used to say, after what happened to Norm
Coleman in Minnesota, which is how Al Franken became Senator,
that the Republican always has to win beyond the margin
of lawyer, because the minute it goes to recounts and
to judges and to court ordered standards of ballot legitimacy,
(44:10):
then the Democrats always win. The Republican wins on election day.
The Democrats increasingly couldn't care less about election day because
they win on the post election three months and when
they're actually advertising that, no, pottom, we will never know
a winner on election day. No, no, no. That may
(44:32):
be something they can do in Sudan or Bangladesh, but
we will be absurd to expect the United States of
America to know who had won its election on actual
election day. You know that they are actually now they're
putting in place all the pops and pillars for extraordinary
behavior on election night. So when that extraordinary behavior occurs,
(44:55):
it sounds familiar to you because they've been talking about
it for the two months before the election. The violence
is going to accelerate, and what we're seeing on the
streets right now is basically the equivalent of an out
of town Broadway tryout for the big opening night on
(45:16):
the Great White Way on November the third. That's what
we're going to see. The stories are getting weird now.
Tear gas, police tear gas. This is why we need
to defund the police. Police tear gas during Black Lives
Matter protests is bringing on menstrual cycles in transgender men.
(45:41):
No one before has ever uttered those words in the
history of the English language, but I just did. It's
a story out of the New York Post police deployed
tear gas during Black Lives Matter protests is bringing on
menstrual cycles in transgender men. A transgender man, Matthew told Kuow,
(46:05):
the local NPR station, he had his first period in
three years, his first period in three years. Phrases like
this and how perfectly normal in American newspapers. He had
his first period in three years after getting gassed at
multiple protests he attended. So police tear gas is causing
(46:27):
transgender men to de transition. He hadn't been visited by
his uncle Flow for three years until he starts getting
tear gassed by the police at Black Lives Matter protests. Um,
it's cs gas, and cs gas is can Apparently, I can't.
(46:50):
I can't be You know, we're gonna wonder well, we're
still going to be some We're still surprised at China
somehow wound up snaffling the world out from under us.
While we're talking about tear gas bringing on periods in
transgender men after three years. Period free fabulous. You know.
(47:13):
The short history of the last thirty years is that
in the nineties they started telling us forget about widget's,
forget about these colors. Don't run tea shuts. That's all
going to be made in China. You're going to be
the knowledge economy. And then somehow, mysteriously you didn't hear
the phrase the knowledge economy anymore, because it turned out
that China had wound up taking all that away from us.
(47:34):
Now with the Huawei and the five G and all
the rest of it. I have my laptop, my Apple laptop.
I don't want to get into trouble with Rush because
he loves the Apple products and I use the Apple
products too, Not quite as big a techie as Rush.
But during the summer, my laptop, my Apple filled up.
(47:56):
I get, I do a lot of things on it,
and I generally swap out fairly frequently. This time around,
I'm told it's like on back order from China. I
can't get that. It's supposed to be an American product,
the product of American geniuses, American insight. But I'm dependent
on Chairman GE's laptop plant next to the Wuhan Institute
(48:18):
of Virology, now if I want a new Apple laptop.
So they so first of all was we were just
going to get our widgets, our T shirts, and it's
our widgets, our T shirts, our laptops, our cell phones.
Then we get all our exciting new diseases from China
like SARS and the COVID, and now, oddly enough, just
(48:40):
as the cherry on the cake, we're starting to get
our ideas about freedom of movement and free speech from China.
So we have this situation out in San Francisco where
if you're a government worker, you're free to go to
a gym and get on the exorcycle for twenty minutes.
But if you're a non government worker, all the gyms
are closed. You can't go to the gym. So things
(49:03):
like getting getting a haircut, getting a Nancy Pelosi blowout,
getting the older jet black helmet hair all that. That's
fine if you're a powerful state commissar or you're just
a low level state bureaucrat who wants to go to
the gym. But if you're a freeborn citizen as was,
(49:25):
you have no rights at all. It's it's all of
a set. It's not just they now have the biggest
navy on the world. It's it's not just that they
make all the widgets, they make all the t shirts,
they make all the aspirins, they make all the cell phones,
they make all the diseases, but they make all the
running about freedom of speech and freedom of movement too.
(49:49):
It's China's world, we just live in it. This is
the theme of this election. Biden is China's man hunter,
Biden Hunter. Biden has been even all these billion dollar
deals by well connected Chinese generals because his dad is
supposed to be the next president. So you think there's
(50:12):
any chance of decoupling from China under a Biden presidency,
That's the biggest reason. You know, people like Bill Crystal
who claim to be all about American greatness. Bill, you
know you didn't used to be an idiot. This is
the last moment the Chinese thing, letting China run the world.
This is isn't like America's nineteen fifty moment when it
(50:36):
succeeded Britain as the dominant global power. It isn't even
like the Anglo French battles two hundred years ago pre
Trafalgar to determine whether it was the English speaking world
or the French who would achieve global dominance. It isn't
like anything of the last half millennium. We were going
to have in an age of technological tote all control
(51:01):
we're giving everything everything to I came back. I'd been away,
and I came back and I found that whatever you
call it, the patio umbrella or the deck umbrella, or
whatever you call I don't want to use a fancy
French word like power soul. I didn't even get one
of those. They're all on back order from now. Do
you know, just some nine dollars patio umbrella, all on
(51:23):
back order from China. This is the last chance for
serious decoupling and people who think of themselves as serious thinkers,
like Max Boot and Bill Crystol. Jennifer Rubin in the
Washington Post says, every Republican has to lose a what
so we can just go the way of Tibet or
(51:44):
the Weighers, and we can just be wholly a wholly
owned slave colony of China. This is ridiculous. This is
our last chance. Mark Stein for Rush one eight hundred

for Rush on America's number one radio network. You know,
(52:04):
we live in the age of computers, and there is
a newish crime that is metastasized in the age of computers,
is being committed every day across America. Around the planet,
and that is identity theft. People you've never met, people
thousands of miles away can steal your identity. It could
(52:25):
happen to you without you even knowing about it or
even becoming aware of it until after it's done. It's
a feed, a complet. It's over, and Rush has a
thought about what's your best defense against folks. Online identity
theft considered a crime now in all fifty states. It
is the act of somebody stealing one or more parts
(52:48):
of your identity and then using it for their own
illegal gain. I mean you pretty much can figure that out.
Online identity theft kind of crime happens every day. It
goes on all day, and online cyber thief gets past
the online security walls of a company. They make off
a customer data, including maybe yours. Same kind of thief
plants malware on one of your devices and gains your
(53:11):
information that way. Let's usually done with a phishing attack,
and you click on a link that you shouldn't click on,
it looks good, you get seduced into clicking on it,
and bam, it's done. Either way, they're most likely doing
it to steal from you, and it's up to you
to protect your own online identity. It really isn't like
anything else. You're the closest one to your identity. You
(53:31):
have to do the most you can to protect it,
and the way you do that very simple. Let the
LifeLock folks the best equipped company to prevent you from
suffering financial harm online. They're also the best company to
offer your restoration services to restore your good name. Makes
sense of what happened to you in your online identity

There's been a striking development in the old COVID nineteen
(54:56):
statistics whom here all this stuff about who's test did
positive and more cases than all the rest of it,
A sixty six year old woman tested positive for COVID
nineteen on June the twentieth. This is a lady called
Sundra Whittington in California. And what's interesting about this is
(55:17):
that when she tested positive for COVID nineteen, she'd been
dead for four months. This poor lady died in mid February,
but apparently tested positive for COVID nineteen four months after
her death, according to the Shelby County Health Department in California.
So now dead people are testing positive for COVID, supposedly
(55:40):
according to the Well, that's the thing. Do that if
you die before your COVID test, you count as a
COVID death, because if you do, there's no end to it.
Because if dead people test positive for COVID, then by
definition COVID has a one hundred percent fatality rate if
all the people in the cemetery are positive for COVID.
(56:03):
What's interesting about this is that's like the level. This
is like six months after nine to eleven when they
sent Mohammed Ata his visa allowing him to stay in America.
He'd flown the plane into the First World Trade Center,
and they sent it to the wrong address. They sent
it to his old address in Florida. Was in fact
(56:25):
he was in like two million pieces scattered around Lower Manhattan.
But they gave him his visa six months after he's died.
Now they're giving you COVID positive test results four months
after you died in California. This is the bureaucracy. We
are all prostrating ourselves in front it. Go to rushlimball

the most phenomenal archive in the history of broadcasting. As
I said, I think the last time I was here,
(57:07):
we're basically celebrating the centenary of radio right right about now.
I think in Brazil, and in Michigan, in Detroit the
first sort of regular radio station, and I think up
in Montreal, actually the first radio station started. Rush has
been number one for a third of that century. It's unprecedented,
(57:31):
nothing like it. It's all there at Rush twenty four seven.
You can listen to Rush's latest daily show any hour
of the day or night, whenever you want it. You
can watch him on the Ditto cam. You can read

if you missed birthdays, if you can't be with your
loved ones, if you can't all sit around enjoying the
great viviality of non socially distant social occasions because some
control free governor or maya has banned you from it,
then a good way of thinking about your loved one
is to sign him or her up for a Rush
(58:15):
twenty four seven subscription. It makes a great present. Just
go to Rush Lymball dot com and you'll see the
Rush twenty four seven button right there. Let's go to
Todd in Springfield, Illinois. Todd, you're up right now on
America's number one radio show, Good Afternoon, Mark. I would
like to have your thoughts on the upcoming debates. During
(58:38):
the seventy five vice presidential debates, Bob Dole took on
Walter Mondale and Doll basically cleaned his clock on the issues.
But in the process, and I remember watching these and
I was a staunch Republican and thought the same thing.
Doll came across as a cocky, arrogant bully, and you know,
(59:02):
it was like he was beaten up on the hapless Mondale,
and I think it really hurt Jerry Ford in the process.
He looked like such a jerk. And I just wondered,
do you do you think Trump has to walk this
tight rope when he's when he's debating Biden. Well, you
(59:22):
may you make a good point, and that you really
how you how you beat someone up and leave them
as roadkill in the middle of the road is something
you have to give a great deal of thought too,
because you're right, it's it. It presents a problem, particularly
if you're the big guy and you appear to be
(59:43):
beaten up on the Week a guy, and Dole in
a way never really recovered from the sort of meanness
and viciousness that attached to him over that debate. It's
like everyone was very grateful when it was Chris Christie
who decided to take out Marco Rubio in I think
it was the New Hampshire primary debate in twenty sixteen
(01:00:07):
when he was just merciless at him and he succeeded
in killing off Marco Rubio, but he also succeeded in
killing off himself. The rules are slightly different here because
Trump has it would be very unusual for Trump to
be soft and emollient because he has a reputation for viciousness.
(01:00:27):
I think it was John Bolton the other day, somewhere
in the last twenty four hours or so, when John
Bolton was saying, denying absolutely that Trump had made those
remarks about America's war dead in the Great War being losers,
and he'd said he qualified that by saying, and Trump
is a guy who, if you are around him long enough,
(01:00:50):
he'll be absolutely mercilessly vicious about almost every other guy
you've ever heard of. But the issue here, I think
is Trump has to draw the contrast, I mentioned earlier
that Biden is now in the state I don't even
know whether he'll agree to do these things. He's deteriorating
(01:01:10):
month on month, Biden, and he now requires you ask
him a question. That they have these vetted, highly vetted
and trained supporters who allowed into the room with him
socially distant. There's only three or four of them, and
they ask prescreened questions, and on any occasion where he
(01:01:33):
doesn't ask a pre screened question, as with the AFLCIO
the other day, they actually type in the answers as
he's reading them off the prompter. It's perfectly obvious it's
going on. He can't do it. You'd have to be
a really skilled professional to be able to do that
and for it not to show, and he's not as
skilled enough professional. He won't be able to do that
(01:01:54):
in the debate. So we don't even know whether there
will be a debate. But what the debate has to
do has to show a contrast between a guy who
seems exhausted, this hushed whisper he talks in, he's wandering
around the stage, and he's saying, why don't we teach
(01:02:15):
our kids history? In history class. A black man invented
the lightbulb, and you can get away with that. If
you're talking about some highly emotional thing about meeting some
veteran from Iraq or whatever, you can't get away with
it if you're talking about capital gains tax or whatever.
(01:02:36):
So I think Trump's thing is he can't let Biden
get away with anything. You know, if Biden does make
these remarks that he's done on the stunt way, says
you know, fifteen million people have died from the coronavirus
or whatever, Trump has to push back on that, but
he also has to do it in a way that,
(01:02:57):
you know, it leaves the audience to draw the conclusion
that this guy Biden is a dead husk. So it
just matters who's waggling the corpse, whether it's Kamala Harris
or AOC or George Soros or whoever the hell it is.
Certainly Biden is not functioning enough to be able to
(01:03:18):
be a vigorous chief executive for four years. And that's
what that's what Trump has to do. But when not
in Dole Mondale camp anymore, because you've got a guy
in a way who's expected to be I mean, he
said Trump got away was saying things to Hillary. Do
you remember that guy Toddy? The first time when Hillary
(01:03:40):
ran for Senate and there was a congressman from Long Island,
it was against her and he was supposed to have
disrespected her by walking into her space in a menacing way.
Trump did all that. In the debate with Hillary, Trump said,
you know, if I were a president, you'd be in
jail and all the restaurant and he didn't pay a
price for Todd todd Y, Yeah, I mean the last
(01:04:09):
time round when he said to Hillary, if if if
I were president, you'd be in jail. I mean that
was for a man to say that to a woman.
They tried all that. They said, oh, he's he's invading
a woman's space, he's menacing her, sneaking up behind her,
He's doing all this intimidating stuff. And it didn't matter.
(01:04:30):
He's still got away with it. The rules are slightly
different for Trump than they are for Bob Dole. I
think on that, Todd, I agree, that's good. Are you
looking forward to these debates? The one, the one I
think is going to be interesting is if it is.
(01:04:51):
What's what's interesting to me is that Kamala Harris has
actually been disappointing on interviews. She says she's saying the
wrong thing on interviews, and I find that interesting, given
that they picked her because they were reasonably confident, they
got someone who offended various parts of the base. A
(01:05:12):
lot of the hardcore left don't like her because she
was a tough prosecutor. But beyond that, regardless of her views,
you know, but setting that at all aside, she's a
transactional politician. She's not an idea log like ilan Omar
or Alexandria Casio Cortez. She'll abandon positions as it suits
her particular needs or whatever. The point about her, though,
(01:05:34):
is that she's not terribly competent, and I thought that
was interesting. It's interesting she's had to walk back that
thing about, oh, you know, I'm not going to take
any vaccine that comes the Trump's been mixing up in
the O. Was working in my lablak one night when
he's mixing up the vaccine in the Oval office. She
had to walk back that stupidity. She's supposed to be
(01:05:56):
the one who compensates for Biden stupid and she's walking
all over landmines of her own so We'll see how
that works out. Mark Stein for Rush, The final stretch
of the most bizarre presidential election season in memory. There's
two months still to go, so we could still be
(01:06:16):
in time for the plague of locusts or all kinds
of other surprises in this most bizarre year, but it
is officially the final stretch. Mark Stein for Rush. Lots
more straight ahead, mark Stein in for Rush on the

(01:06:37):
Andrew Cuomo has just said that President Trump quote caused
the COVID outbreak in New York by not announcing a
European travel band sooner. You know, Cuomo, it's absolutely astonishing
to me how hermetically sealed off our separate realities are
(01:07:00):
a very bizarre situation. But there are people who genuinely
think Andrew Cuomo has done an incredible job. He'd be
out of office in most countries in the world just
for the people he marched into the slaughterhouse of New
York's senior care homes. But he's now to deflect from that.
(01:07:24):
He's now blaming that on Donald Trump, who he said
cause the COVID outbreak in New York. The New York
City Health Commissar told people to go out and celebrate
Chinese New Year to show they weren't racists who were
going to be forced into being racist by avoiding the
(01:07:45):
Chinese and not going and celebrating Chinese New Year, and
that more than anything else, that kind of virtue signaling
and virtue signaling unto death is what caused the outbreak
in New York City, rather than anything to do with
(01:08:06):
the European travel bands or any of that. Nothing they
tell us means anything. In the UK and in other countries,
the National Health Service in the UK is very big
on this, says because when most people is there where,
you got to wash your hands, but most people don't
wash their hands for long enough, and so in Britain
(01:08:27):
with the National Health Service, they began showing how people
washed there should wash their hands by singing Happy Birthday
through twice. So it's not enough just to run the
forced over your hands and then wipe them on the towel.
You've got to stand there rubbing your hands, washing your
hands while you sing Happy Birthday twice through and then
(01:08:47):
that's sufficient for washing your hands. Unfortunately, Lundon University, Sweden
has said that happy birthday, singing Happy Birthday spreads COVID
droplets into the surrounding air because songs with bees and
peas in constant. This is how scientific a world we
(01:09:11):
live in. Now they can identify the consonants you sing
that are most likely to spread COVID. So bees and
peas are the worst. For if you sing bees and peas,
you're just gonna devastate the neighborhood. So it's your kid,
it's like whatever you whatever, your kids called, Zachary, Jeremiah, whatever,
(01:09:32):
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, Happy birthday. The the
b sound, you're just blasting the COVID out across the
room to your auntie Mabel, who's who's face down in
the punch, and she's gonna get it and she's gonna die.
It's gonna be over. So they've now identified the songs
(01:09:53):
that are all singing. As the Governor of Michigan told us,
public singing is over. Forget it. It's never coming back.
We've had it for thousands of years, but it's gone.
Forget about it. It's over. It's America's not so silent killer,
and it's never coming back. But they've now managed at
London University Sweden to fine tune that to identify songs
(01:10:16):
that are so it's bees and peace. So something like
if you sing itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini,
that is a particular lethal song. If you're thinking of
robbing a bank and you're in one of these democrat
towns where it's your gun rights a circumscribe, so you
can't it's hard to get a gun to hold up
(01:10:36):
the bank. Just go in there, seize the teller and
tell her to give her everything in the till or
you're going to sing itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka
dot bikini to her. That is, that is, songs with
bees and peas are killers. According to this survey. Uh,
(01:10:58):
you know, none of it is none of it is scientific,
none of it is anything. What is interesting is that
if you go back a century to the Spanish Flu.
The Spanish Flu happened just at the end of the
First World War. It was really that was the hinge
moment in history when we moved from the age of
(01:11:21):
empire to the age of democracy. As you know, the
great empires fell at the end of the First World War,
the Ottoman Empire, the Habsburg Empire, the romanov Empire, the
hons Hollands in Germany, and they moved to the age
of so called democracy. And so it's one of the
(01:11:44):
one of the awkward facts about that is that normally
life is a calculation. You know, we go fifty five
miles down the road because realistically it would be a
lot safer if we only went eight miles an hour,
but the entire economy would grind to a whole. Well,
we've been basically going eight miles an hour on the
(01:12:06):
economy now for six months, and I really don't know
how much longer this can go on. I also don't
know in America, there is a particular problem which they
don't have in Europe. In most of the world, country
life is more or less going on as normal. Now,
(01:12:27):
city life is dead, and as a result, people are
moving from the city to the country. Because you move
to the city, you live in smaller accommodation. Because all
the great things in life, if you're a certain kind
of person, require a mass number of people. So you
require density to have great restaurants and great shows and
(01:12:49):
great music and all the rest of it. And cities
are dead and people are moving to the country. But
here it's been complicated by the fact that the Democrats
are determined to stretch this thing out past November the
third because they think COVID works for them against Trump.
It's the most shameless politicization of public health that has
(01:13:09):
gone on in history, and Democrats deserve to lose big
for it. Mark sign for Rush. We got another Adigo
stick around. It was just pointed out to be the
Cardi Bees big hit white bleep bleep. The bleepy part
of that is the word that begins with P that
(01:13:30):
you used to grab them by, and so that song
ought to be banned on public health health grounds. If
we're having serious studies into which particular songs are the
most lethal to sing in public, than Cardibes would certainly
be banned by that Swedish survey. So Biden is being
totally irresponsible giving interviews to this Cardi b killer. Yes,
(01:13:57):
America's anger man is away and this is your EIB
anchor baby honor to be here, thrilled to be here,
it's always it's it's always terrific to be behind the
golden EIB microphone and particular honor for a foreigner. But
(01:14:18):
we will have some full strength, authentic all American excellence
in broadcasting for you before the end of the week,
all American American as apple pie, But for today, it's
American as apple pie. Alla mood just got a freesm
of of the foreign about it. We are in the
(01:14:40):
final stretch, the final leg of the election campaign, and
so weird. I don't think anybody knows what's going to happen.
But I do think that the Democrats and the media
and various other factions are so on message that's something
(01:15:00):
is happening out there. Something is going on. People are
making their plans, and the plan is basically, they don't
want to have what happened in twenty sixteen happen again.
They were so taken by surprise by you remember how
it was at whatever it was, nine forty three pm
Eastern time, the New York Times had a ninety seven
(01:15:25):
percent chance of a Hillary victory, and then Trump won Florida,
and it went down to twenty two percent chance of
a Hillary victory in the next twelve minutes or whatever.
And in those twelve minutes, basically Democrat world collapsed and
Trump was allowed to appear, at least for a few
(01:15:46):
hours as if he had legitimately won the presidential election,
which he had, and then they started trying to reverse
engineer it by bringing up all the Russian collusion and
the deep state stuff and impeaching him for whatever they
had to hand, culminating in the actual impeachment with something
nobody cares about the president of Ukraine. You know, back
(01:16:09):
all the people now telling us a Trump sion of
Trump should never have allowed this COVID thing to happen. COVID, COVID, COVID.
All that time they were nobody, no, not a single
Democrat was talking about COVID. They were just talking about
some Ukrainian phone call, and they were making the president
focus on Ukrainian phone calls by lawyering up and having
this stupid trial. And now it's Trump's fault, according to
(01:16:32):
Andrew Cuomo, for the COVID, But the mistake all this,
they know they're not going to put up with another
four years of Trump. That's what they've determined. They didn't
want to do it last time. But they tried all
the usual means. They tried the deep deep state mashinations,
they tried the impeachment, they tried the Russia collusion, hoax.
(01:16:56):
They tried, you know, the Independent Council investing and then
and none of it went anywhere. So if they if
they get to wake up on November the fourth, and
they're looking at a second Trump term, and they call
up Robert Mueller, and they call up beat As Struck,
and they call up Adam Schiff and they go, okay, guys,
(01:17:16):
time to suit up again. They know that's not going
to go anywhere any more than it did the last time.
So on November the third, sort of roughly about nine
fifty three pm, the violence is going to start again.
They're prepping the battlefield. Look, I mean, look at the
stories we're getting now, this use of we're in such
(01:17:40):
a bizarre world that because of the COVID you can't
eat inside, so you have to eat outside on the street,
which would be rather agreeable if if you're in a
little French town at a sidewalk cafe or whatever. But
here means you're basically eating outside in Black Clives Matter land.
(01:18:02):
So you have has happened in Pittsburgh diners in an
outdoor dining area being intimidated. Bleep the white people, that bleep.
That's built the system. One demonstrator said at the patrons.
So you're paying. You're at some fancy schmancy place and
you're paying whatever, and you're having the salmon tartar and
(01:18:26):
the sea bass and all the rest of it, and
people are coming up and yelling Nazi lives don't matter,
across your table, grabbing your drink and drinking it and
then walking away. They're doing this, they're doing this, intruding
into into your space, because the definition of a civilized
(01:18:51):
society is basically how easy you can insulate yourself from
its worst pathologies. And here though, the insulation is getting worse.
So you have things like these appeasing mayors in Portland
and places. They start demonstrating outside the guy's condo and
he announced it and they go in there the condo
(01:19:12):
lobby and said it on fire, entirely indifferent to the
other people other than the useless mayor, useless appeasing mayor
who live in the buildings. So the useless appeasing mass
as he's going to move, which is easy for him
to say because he's the mail at people don't find
it so easy to move. They're coming to you in restaurants,
not just in Pittsburgh, but in Washington, DC. Why do
(01:19:33):
you think it's going to be like if Trump wins Florida?
Round about nine forty seven pm on election night. Now Zuckerberg,
the Facebook guy, Mark Zuckerberg, he said yesterday, I believe
this was he said. What we and the other media
need to start doing is preparing the American people that
(01:19:56):
there is nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days
or weeks to make sure all the votes are counted,
Mark Zuckerberg. What we and the other media need to
start doing is preparing the American people that there is
nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days or weeks
(01:20:19):
to make sure all the votes accounted. Who died and
made you election overseer? You're You're a guy who owns
a company, and it's a very successful company. Shouldn't have
been allowed to get that big. It's now more powerful
than most governments on the face of the earth. But
even so, who exactly appointed you to start saying there's
(01:20:42):
nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days or weeks,
because with one exception, it hasn't generally taken days or
weeks normally, And this is how the media traditionally plan
their sets is that you have to get to a
(01:21:04):
certain number of electoral college votes. So the polls start
to close around seven o'clock Eastern time, and the big
shot anchors are there with their panels of expert and
they chitchat about this and that, and over the first
hour or two they start to call this state and
start to call that state. And usually usually not just
(01:21:26):
in America, but in most functioning societies, by late in
the evening, they have established that a certain party or
a certain candidate has won a majority in the electoral
college or of parliamentary seats or whatever. So when Mark
Zuckerberg says that he and the other media big feet
(01:21:49):
need to start preparing the American people that oh, no, no, no.
When we tell you that this election that you used
to take place on one day, that's why we call
it election day, That's why the constitutions starts to talk
about the day on which the election is held. That's
how it's been for two and a third centuries. But
(01:22:11):
pay no attention when we start suddenly telling you that no, no, no, no, no,
this time around, it's going to take weeks. But there's
nothing unusual about that, No, need to be scared about it.
It's just something that's entirely legitimate. Why are they talking
about this now, because they're not going to make the
(01:22:32):
same mistake they made in twenty sixteen, in which they
allowed Trump to be presented to the nation as the
legitimate winner of the election for just a few hours
on that Tuesday night, and then on Wednesday morning that
or thought, my god, this so we can't allow this.
(01:22:53):
We've got to start working to undermine it. There is
something I'd be interested to hear from any never trumpers,
any liberals. You're welcome to give me a call one
eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two at
just why it has suddenly become legitimate, in Zuckerberg's word, legitimate,
(01:23:15):
to suddenly say it's perfectly normal in an advanced society
for a presidential election to drag on for weeks and
weeks and weeks and weeks because no other country is
talking about this, and it's actually sick. They wouldn't be
(01:23:36):
laying they wouldn't be planting the normality of a disrupted
election if they weren't planning to do it. It's the
most bizarre thing, and they're serious about it. They're serious
about it. And as I said, we are now in
one of those hinge points of history. You know, if
(01:23:59):
you if you talk to British people from the British world,
they talk about the handover of global dominance from Britain
to America. There's a month in somewhere in the Second
World War where at one point Britain had more men
under arms than America and the next month America had
(01:24:22):
And there's people this historians who identify that as the
moment of which the baton of global leadership parts. Then
you have the French who look on the Anglo American
continuum since the Battle of Trafalgar as one long, continuous period,
and they look on the Battle of Trafalgar as the
moment when the French regrettably were eclipsed by these vulgar
(01:24:46):
Boorish Anglo Americans. And then you have the Chinese, who
take a big of you that the last half millennium
of Euro American dominance has been a complete historical anomaly.
And when now moving into the half millennium corrective, when
China resumes global dominance, that's the issue. China did this
(01:25:08):
to us, China gave this to us, China now has
the world's number one navy. Again. It got Bailey. It
came out in the news. I think it was last
Wednesday or Thursday, and had been forgotten three hours later,
as if it's a fact of no significance. No, the
fact that China some Wuhano, who the hell had heard
(01:25:31):
of Wuhan before February. Now it's infected the planet. Some
town you've never heard of, but it's in three months
that had infected the planet. Thank you China. China has
the world's largest navy built by American taxpayers. You know,
if we if we had a war with China, it'd
be like the war with Afghanistan and be like the
(01:25:53):
war with the stupid whatever it is we're doing running
around Syria. It'd be just another war. We lose. But
with the difference, we're paying for both sides because basically
American taxpayers, through going and having everything made at by
in China, have actually paid for the new dominant Chinese military. Again,
(01:26:14):
no precedent for this in history. And we have this
Washington uniparty. We have one man. You can say certain
things about Donald Trump, but Donald Trump was actually the
first guy to say China's the issue. China's the problem.
We ought to do something about China. And if we
don't do something about China soon, it's going to be
(01:26:35):
too late. And you look at the Chinese. You look
at these guys on the Chinese Politbua. They spend their time,
they work, put in a hard day's work establishing Chinese
global dominance. What are we going to do today? Well,
you know, okay, we got the who bought and paid for?
Is there any other un agency we need to make
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese Politbua. They do
(01:26:58):
that nine to five and then for a laugh, they
switch on the TV for an hour in the evening
to see what the Americans are up to. And the
Americans are all running around running stories like how police
tear gas is causing transgender men to have menstrual cycles
that they haven't had in years, or oh look at
(01:27:18):
look at this the America. What's the biggest news in America. Oh,
they're all exercised about Francis Scott Key, the guy who
wrote the Star Spangled banner, whether he was a racist
or not. So they're tearing down his statue. They're tearing
down some Confederate general. They're tearing down a Norwegian abolitionist.
Now they don't know who, they're just tearing down all
(01:27:38):
the statues. It's the war. You know, we deserve a
society as stupid and myopic as that actually deserves to fail.
And that's on the ballot. That's the issue on November
the third, where the weather. We're going to have an
administration that actually seriously confronts the reality of Chinese dominance,
(01:27:59):
or a or a vile corrupt family like the Bidens,
who are actually on the take from the Chinese, like
Hunter Biden is that's what on the what's on the ballot,
And Zuckerberg is saying, oh, we need to start preparing
the American people that there's nothing unusual about the election
(01:28:19):
dragging on for weeks. Oh yes there is. It's deeply
weird and it's actually creepy that you, big brother Zuckerberg,
are actually talking about how you're gonna implement the plan
to get the American people used to it. Mark sign
for us, You're called straight ahead. Let's go to Alfredo
(01:28:40):
in Davy, Florida. Alfredo's great to have you on America's
number one radio show, What's What's on your mind today. Hey, Mark,
pleasure to speak to you. Rush, Yeah, thank you, Bam, yep, absolutely,
megapress to Rush and Catherine too. Yes. Um. Your comment
(01:29:01):
with Kamala Harris about she's not taking the vaccine, right,
I think this is just a little cue for the
Democrats that the first person that gets six or dies
of this vaccine, they're going to turn it around on
Trump and they're going to be all office in turn
anti vaccine. Yeah. Yeah, I think I think there's a
(01:29:23):
lot of a lot of truth in that that they
that you know, vaccines don't work for everyone, and if
there is somebody that they can say, look at this,
look at this poor person, just like the picture perfect
most telegenic victim we could come up with. That's on Trump,
that's around Trump's neck, that's there's a desperation in that,
(01:29:46):
though I don't know that that's in the end. It's
it's ridiculous, you know, it's and it's not particularly I
wouldn't particularly be beaten up on Andrew Cuomo because just
because he's Andrew Cuomo, because it's true, essentially across the planet,
the people who had the misfortune to be walled up
in senior homes for example, wound up dying of this
thing at an extraordinary rate. If you actually factor out
(01:30:08):
the sort of old folks home quotient of COVID fatalities,
it's even less of a menace to anyone. But the
fact is, that's that's what happened. You've got you saw
with Cuomo's remarks today, he's determined to He's actually saying
Trump caused these deaths. And it will be the same
thing with the vaccine because unless they do that the vaccine,
(01:30:29):
if there was a vaccine that came out, you know,
second week of October, that would be the October surprise
to end all of them. And so they will want
that to fail and they will use the such deaths
as occur to their advantage in that alfredo. Do you
think it's going to work for them? Though? That's stilling.
(01:30:52):
Do do you think do you think that that's gonna work?
I mean, they think COVID works for them. That's why
they think keeping it going works because if they keep
it going, the pandemic disrupts everything. The pandemic disrupts the election,
the pandemic disrupts the economy, and they figure people will
(01:31:13):
blame that on Trump. Do you think people are going
to blame it on Trump come November third? I don't know.
I don't know. The vaccine goes down, people start, you know,
getting ill from it, which people do get ill from
taking a pare No, no, no, I can't see them
just turning this around and just making it more of
a more of a problem with it, just just to
(01:31:34):
get with Trump everyone. That's all I wanted to just
get Trump right. Absolutely. And the reason you know this
isn't even a good faith thing is because one thing
you can say for certain, we don't know what the
next two months is going to bring because it's crazy time.
But one thing you can say for certain, Alfredo, is
that in the event that Biden were to win on
(01:31:55):
November third, basically COVID will cease to be an issue
on November fourth. On November the fourth, the whole pandemic
panic will start to be dismantled. People will go back
to school, businesses will reopen, and all the rest of it,
because a pandemic essentially is being kept artificially kept going
(01:32:16):
in order to get at Trump. Thanks for the call, Alfredo, Yeah,
Rush is out. You know why that is because he
is very upfront and honest about it, as he was
about that grim Wiki had a couple of weeks back.
(01:32:37):
I'm not sure you know in those situations. I remember
when Rush announced this and he didn't said he didn't
want to become one of these celebrities who is their
disease and they just talk about the disease and all
the rest of it. And I'm kind of with him
on that's it's a difficult thing to be painfully honest
(01:32:58):
and upfront about all this stuff. But Rush is honest
about everything, and it's all of a piece the fact
that he's honest about terrible things that are happening to him.
But do you know how this works. He comes back
when he's at full strength, and that might be in
a day or two, it might be in a day
or three, but he will be back in the meantime.
(01:33:20):
You know, you're can alleviate this, You can't totally get
over it. But you can go to Rush Limball dot com.
You can take out a subscription to the Limball Letter,
which is actually one of the most brilliant examples of
compression in the history of artistic creation. They take the
(01:33:41):
great entirety of the flood of craziness that is all
around us and compress us, compress it into pithy distillation
of the global scene. What you need to know, what's
going on, what's happening. Rush is unique taken it rushes ability.
This is the that makes the Limball is such a mean.
(01:34:02):
It's fun just if you're just kind of i idly
doing nothing, you don't particularly want to think about politics
or whatever. And as I always say, what I love
about it is the way he's just picked out like
a couple of dozen little foot a page thirty eight
type stories you used to find in the newspaper that
absolutely some up that are portents of the age. And
(01:34:26):
that's the best thing about It also does terrific interviews
with great conservative thinkers, and you won't want to miss that.
And all you gotta do is go to Russia limball
dot com and see the button called the Limball Letter
and become a subscriber to the Limball Letter, and it
will ameliorate days such as as these when Rush is
(01:34:49):
undergoing that fairly hellish treatment and you have to put
up with some sinister foreign guests. So when I when
I said I was talking about how the Chinese, the
great about the Chinese. I envy them is they can
wake up in the morning and just concentrate on taking
over the world, which they're pretty much doing, and we,
(01:35:09):
on the other hand, are just full of rubbish. This
is a story. This is a story from north of
the border, from the Globe and Mail, which is like
the New York Times of Canada, but without the jokes.
The Globe and Mail headline, is it time to decolonize
your lawn? Do you think about the lawn as an
example of Well, I guess it's not white privilege, it's
(01:35:32):
green privilege. But as John Douglas Bellshaw, a Canadian history
professor at Thompson Rivers University in Camloops, BC, says, Camloops,
British Columbia says, what is a lawn but a statement
of control over nature. That's a huge part of settler culture.
(01:35:54):
You see that river there, we can damn that, we
can organize that water, We can make that to work
for us. He's right, he's right. In my town, the
first settlers seventeen sixty three was a guy who dragged
his mill wheels up from Connecticut on the frozen ice
of the Connecticut River. He dragged them all the way
(01:36:17):
up the frozen rice frozen ice of the Connecticut River
to New Hampshire, his descendants neighbors of mine. And then
when he got to this newly granted township, he dragged
them up a brook and he put his mill wheels
on that brook, and he began harnessing that river to
(01:36:41):
work for him. So that became a that was his
white privilege before even if there aren't any black people,
even if there aren't any indigenous people, even if there
aren't any Hispanics, even if there aren't any Muslims, even
if there aren't any transgenders, even if there's nobody and
he's the wilderness, the white privilege man is still exercising
(01:37:04):
his white privilege over the river. And then he decides
the mill works for him, and he starts to make
a pretty nice living from it. And his grandchild in
the late nineteenth century, thanks, oh, I'd like to get
a little bit European and have a manicured lawn. So
the lawn is a colonialist symbol. According to a serious,
(01:37:29):
serious commentary in a major newspaper, the lawn is a
symbol of colonialism and environmental hostility because you've flattened it.
You've you've planted grass, You've put in a some attractive
rose beds, maybe a bit of topuri with the hedge.
(01:37:51):
Maybe you've got a little trellis. You've got a fancy
trellis with the rose strewn trellis. Go that's like, that's
that's like environmental colonialism. What you should do is let
nature reclaim that lord. Maybe put a few wolves in
it to keep the kids on their toes while they're
trying to make it down to the road to wait
(01:38:11):
for the school bus. This is what we're talking about
as the Chinese take over the world. Here's another story.
These are just spirits of the age stories. Spirits of
the age. The alarming rise of the techno sexuals from
my old newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, researched by the sex
(01:38:33):
toy company we Vibe. I don't know what that is,
but it sounds Chinese to me. I bet you the Chinese.
The Chinese make everything else. They've obviously make all the
sex toys too, So that's what you're getting into when
you acquire those kind of the habits. Forteen percent of
men admit to being aroused by their smart speaker Alexa.
(01:38:56):
You know Alexa, this thing they got on the computers. Now,
how pathetic, How pathetic is that they call these people
techno sexuals, these people who are turned Alexa. Even if
you are turned on by Alexa, fourteen percent of men
are turned on by her. So what are the chances
of you ever getting to walk her down the aisle?
(01:39:18):
There's that relationship is going nowhere? Techno sexuals. This is
what we talk about while the Chinese take over the planet,
and we are at one of those hinge moments of
history here, a very important one. It's extraordinary to me.
(01:39:38):
We blame you know, We've got now this basically lockdown
and is everywhere, except that in large parts of Europe
they're kind of emerging from it in a fairly coherent way.
So America is becoming a kind of outlier on that front,
because these wacky places like San Francisco, if you serve
(01:40:02):
government employees, you're allowed to open, but if you serve
private individuals you're not. Even in so called eurosocialist countries,
they don't have that division. The last six months has
been devastating if you believe in economic liberty and if
you believe in the free market, because the lockdown has
(01:40:24):
been a total distortion of the free market. You know,
all your local stores are closed, all your mom and
pop stores are closed, so if you want something, you've
got to order it from Amazon. So you're transferring, you're
taking money. Essentially, what's happened over the last six months
is that money from the mom and pop sector, money
from the local sector, money from your local shopping mall,
(01:40:45):
money from your local main street has instead been put
in the hands of people who really don't need any
more money, like Amazon and Apple and these kind of guys.
So in effect, there's been a massive transfer of the
economy from mom and pop to Jet Azos, who can
use it to prop up his dying newspaper, the Washington
Post for a few more years. You've made the world's
(01:41:07):
richest man even richer. That's not in any conservative's interest,
not in any conservatives interests. So economic lockdown doesn't meet
any plausibly conservative theory of the economy. It's delivering even
more of the economy into hands of people who already
control too much of it and in fact should be
(01:41:28):
broken up. And at the same time we've had actually
the citizen who told, wait a minute, who are you
to say there are just men and women. That's rubbish,
that's completely binary. Of you. There are CIS men and
trans men, and CIS women and transwomen, and there are intersexuals,
and there are two spirited, and there are fifty seven
different genders. Screw all that. Suddenly lockdown comes along. Nobody's
(01:41:52):
interested in the fifty seven genders anymore. Ware In a
completely binary world, you're either essential or non essential. And
oddly enough, most of the essential people turn out to
be government workers, and most of the non essential people
turn out to be people who own their own businesses
or work for small businesses. A completely binary world, you know,
(01:42:13):
there's no fifty seven varieties there, there's just essential and
non essential. For six months, for six months, and we
have these stories now about oh what if the Trump
people don't accept that they've lost on November the third,
they take to the streets, all these crazy right wing people.
I wish you know, for the last six months freeborn
(01:42:37):
peoples and America has been as bad as there are
a few places that are worse. I was in Ireland
a couple of months ago, and in Ireland you can
only go within basically within three miles of your home.
That's your freedom of movement restricted. Same in the Australian
(01:42:58):
state of Victoria, free born people's accept that they can
only travel within three miles of their home for purposes
permitted by the government. And you might have accepted that
for two weeks in March, but where now. The two
weeks is now about to enter its third quarter, and
we're still putting up with it. We're still putting up
(01:43:20):
with it. That's the thing now, the permanent emergency. Government
has learned a lot about how easy it is to
impose a permanent emergency. And if you think these guys
in San Francisco, Michigan, other places, if you think they
won't learn that lesson how easy it is to make
(01:43:43):
an emergency permanent, you're very deluded. Meanwhile, we're told that
the problem is going to be right wing violence. We've
got left wing violence licensed by the states, supported by mayors,
supported by governors, while at the same time we've got
people who can only leave their home with government permission
and have not been able to open their business for
(01:44:05):
six months. It's a bifurcated society. You have anarchy on
the one side, and then you have an increasingly totalitarian
You have locked down and looting side by side, and
which you get to do depends on which approved or
non approved identity group you fall into. Quite disgraceful. Mark
(01:44:25):
sign for Rush. Your calls still to come. Mark Stein
on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. Let's go to Russ
in Saint Louis in the show Me Stake. Great to
have you with us. Russ, what is on your mind today?
Thank you for taking a call on my best to Rush.
I have a question about lies are lying? The press
(01:44:48):
and the left accused us Rush Trump of lying tens
of thousands of times. I think they even they try
to keep track of encountering now he's up twelve thousand lies, right,
And unfortunately I am surrounded by some people who take
that for granted that that's true, that he just lies.
(01:45:12):
And I try to listen to him as much as
I can, and I'll be durned if I can spot lies.
And I'm curious if you are aware of intentional untruth
that he is told that to justify any of it,
or is this all just made up by the press
(01:45:33):
and the left. I think I think it is all
made up by the press. You know. The thing about
a lie is all kinds of politicians say things that
in a hyper literal sense are not true. I mentioned earlier,
you know, when when Joe Biden gets confused and he
says fifteen million people one hundred and fifty million people
(01:45:56):
have died of COVID, that that is, you could start,
Joe Biden lied, or he starts telling an anecdote about
an event somewhere in Afghanistan that never happened. All Joe
Biden lied. But the trouble is they only apply it
to one side, and they apply it, and they apply
(01:46:16):
it evermore strenu they are bied evermore desperately. So for example,
the guy in the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, when he says
about how Trump called the dead of the First World
War suckers and losers. I do believe that is actually
a lie by the media. There are nineteen named people
(01:46:38):
who say he didn't say it, and then there are
anonymous sources who say he didn't. You have to start.
They're so invested in imposing a particular view of Trump
that they are increasingly prepared to lie. You know, and
I wouldn't mind betting russ Where we're in extreme times here.
Let's see, the election is November the third, so that
(01:47:00):
the Tuesday, so the first would be the Sunday, So
on October thirtieth, Friday, around about four o'clock in the afternoon.
I wouldn't mind betting that they'll actually come up with
some new Trump lie, but that this time they'll fake
the audio or they'll fake the video synchronization so they'll
(01:47:20):
appear to have an actual audio of him lying. He's not.
He's actually someone who is not a particularly ideological person,
but he is someone who understands that this country is
in crisis and needs serious leadership to counter it. Thank
you for your thank you for your call, Rush Russ.
(01:47:41):
That is the media super invested in this, and they're
taking it and they'll come up with a real surprise.
As I said, about three or four o'clock on Friday afternoon,
October thirtieth. You wait for it. Well close things out
in just a moment. My thanks to mister Snerdley and
to Keith and to Mike. The best team in radio
(01:48:02):
and no question. A tweet from the Secretary General of
the United Nations Antonio Guterres quote the COVID nineteen pandemic
is demonstrating what we all know millennia of patriarchy have
resulted in a male dominated world with a male dominated
culture which damages everyone women, men, girls and boys. Oh yeah,
(01:48:25):
go go tell it to Yemen and Sudan and Somalia
and Chad. Chumpy mchump pants. This thing is either a
public health crisis or it's an opportunity for social justice
virtue signaling, but it cannot be both. And the idea
that COVID nineteen is anything to do with patriarchy, the
(01:48:47):
idea that the UN Secretary General is actually tweeting this
is a good reason why that building should not actually
be in New York City and they should go and
stick it in the middle of Chad or somewhere. Mark
sin I might be back tomorrow, or Rush might be
a guest hosting for the prescheduled guest hosting. You never know,
but I may see you tomorrow and I look forward
(01:49:10):
to it.
