Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limboss Show podcast.
So nice that we're here together again on a beautiful Monday.
I hope it's nice where you are in Central PA
at Sonny in the fifties. I hope you had a
meaningful Easter weekend. I will be your guide on the
Rush Limboss Show on the EIB Network for the next

(00:22):
three hours. The numbers eight hundred two eight two, twenty
eight eighty two. We have a lot on our play today.
Let me showcase the menu if I may. First of all,
I don't know if you saw, but Joe Biden spent
the Easter weekend dressed up his Santa Claus handing out
trick or treat candy at the White House. So it's
very very emotional and just some great photos for him.

(00:44):
If he was at the he may have been in Delaware.
We're not sure. Did you see Hunter Biden lied himself
into another corner. We're gonna be talking about that coming up.
And NPR had to issue another apology about Hunter. You know,
there's been this agreement that we're all together in the
news media. Obviously you're not a part of it. I'm

(01:07):
not a part of it. EIB's not a part of it,
but there's an agreement that the media has a narrative
to follow. Notice you didn't hear much about Cuomo this weekend,
and you didn't hear much about the border this weekend.
Major League Baseball, Bye Bye. They're leaving Georgia because, like

(01:27):
millions of people, they never read the Georgia Voter Law.
They didn't read it. Neither did Biden, neither did Nancy Pelosi.
The lies being spread by Democrats about the Georgia voter Law,
they are so over the top that it's disgusting to

(01:50):
label what's in that bill slash Georgia Voter Law as
Jim crow shows a level of ignorance. This is where
we have ended up after being indoctrinated by mainstream news
media and public schools. Even liberals are scratching their heads, well,
why are they calling it Jim Crowe? And you know

(02:13):
one thing that the left has been consistent with and
they are good doing it. You know, they have their job,
especially in news media, to protect one group of people
over another, and if it means leaving out the truth,
they will listen to this quote from Cecilia Rouse. Now
she is the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors.

(02:36):
And yesterday I shouldn't have been watching news because I
know it was I know it was easter, but I
had to prepare. Yesterday she said it's important that we
upgrade our definition of infrastructure when we discuss Biden's two
trillion dollar infrastructure proposal. Translation, it's a bunch of lies.

(02:59):
So we're going to do what we always do. We're
going to redefine the definition of what we're doing. And
we've talked about this before. Rush has talked about this before.
The Democrats can write anything they want. They can put
they can make a six thousand page bill, a two
thousand page bill, it's nine hundred page law, and then

(03:20):
they put a fancy title on it, like we love
children so much Bill, or the air is so clean Bill,
or look at how crystal clear the water is Bill,
And then people that are too lazy to do the research,
which is most of the news media, they sell it
off the title. Great example would be Mike, can you

(03:42):
have Senator Blunt ready from Missouri? This is a great example.
Mccrans have figured out that infrastructure is something we need
and something is popular, and so they're trying to take
seventy percent of this bill and call it infrastructure in
a new way than we've ever talked about infrastructure before.

(04:03):
And that means you're looking at another partisan package, just
like we had with COVID. You know, one of the
most interesting things about your tax dollars and my tax dollars.
By the way, I hope you're keeping track because it's
ten days away, yeah, ten days away from April fifteenth,
and there are thousands of illegal foreign nationals that are

(04:26):
counting on your money. So I hope you're not planning
on short changing the Biden administration or the illegals that
he's invited over to vote. Now, Rush talked about what
we just mentioned about redefining the language. Now, if we're
way back when this program first started, I forget why
I made the point, but I uttered what has come

(04:47):
to be acknowledged as a profundity. Words mean things, and
I made the point that this is a program that
is substance over style, whereas most of politics, it sadly,
most of our culture these days, is style over substance.
I called it something else, just different terminology, but symbolism

(05:12):
over substance, style over substance, same thing. Words mean things.
I'm the mayor of Realville. I believe in the substance
of things, not the funniness. I mean. As an example,
when I was establishing goals for this program, one of
them was to be a real number one, meaning the
actual most listen to a program, not one that was
said to be. You wouldn't believe how many radio and

(05:33):
TV shows have really a pittance of an audience, but
because of the guests they have, and those guests constantly
talk about that show or that host, the impression is
created that show is much more popular and bigger than
it is. We don't do any of that here. I
don't have a PR firm of PR agency. We sink
or swim day today on the substance and the quality

(05:56):
of what happens here, the product, so to me mean things.
Words matter, And in fact, it got to the point
where that became such a profundity that the Democrat Party
began to go out and hire words. Smith's remember this
guy named yeah George lack Off rhymes with and it

(06:16):
was his job to give the Democrats different words and
phrases other than the real words and real phrases in
order to convey a false meaning it was a way
to lie and to build democrats and their agenda items
up which could not stand on their own. How can

(06:37):
you not love the fact One of my favorite things
about Rush is he would pull the curtain back. He
was constantly doing that. He could do that with any
topic because he was he was America's anchorman, but he
was also a man of the world. You had a
guy that he had his own jet and he had
his own network, but he didn't talk to you like that.

(07:01):
There wasn't any of that, and he had no trouble
pulling back the curtain. Like with the ratings thing. He
just explained, this is how most of the news organizations
stay alive because instead of working to be number one.
CNN is such a wonderful example. I mean, their ratings
are in the toilet. As soon as President Trump left
the scene and stop tweeting, they had no content. They

(07:24):
could have incredible content now. But understand, there's a whole
list of things at CNN and most of the mainstream
media cannot talk about. There's a whole list among them
as Biden and immigration and Hunter's laptop. There's this a
list of things you can't talk about. So it was
so good when Trump was around, because you could take
Trump's dessert and turn it into a story. Yeah, I

(07:48):
heard he had two things of ice cream. I can't
believe it, man, I can't believe we hired a man
who has ice cream. Over and over. It was incredible.
But I love the way Rush used to pull back
that curtain. He pull it back about everything, whether it
was being successful, being wealthy, being in the news media.

(08:10):
And this is why it's so dangerous to have all
the news media probably in the same pocket as a
current administration. And then that is in the same pocket
with academia, and that's in the same pocket with cable TV,

(08:34):
and that's in the same pocket with Hollywood. It's very
dangerous to have that because, as Cecilia Rouse said, we
need to upgrade our definition of infrastructure. That could not
be done unless the Left new it had a lot
of people on their side from late night television, which

(08:58):
I think. I think late night television has become the
most poisonous media platform because in every monologue, think about
the late night TV monologues where you used to used
to wind down at the end of the day and
you'd watch whatever late night host you preferred and you'd
see that monologue. It all started with what Carson and

(09:19):
Jack Parr before that, I think, And but it's no
more like that. What you get with now late night TV.
You get what they believe is funny, and you get
a list of Democrat talking points. So during Trump's time
in office, it was trash Trump for the whole monologue,

(09:40):
and people would giggle and laugh. And now it's trash
Trump for the whole monologue, and people giggle and laugh,
and it's saying how great Biden is. And all you
have to do is be in the Biden administration. Call
a late night show, whether it's Cobert or Kimmel or whatever,
say look, here's what we need you to do. You
need to start making fun of people that don't want
to wear a mask, or start attacking people that have

(10:02):
questions about COVID, and they do it, which is kind
of scary when you think about it. So the fact
that they're going to redefine infrastructure, if you went out
on the street before this redefinition process started and you said,
what do you think infrastructure is? You know, roads, bridges,
things that connect us all. Perhaps you could say electric grid,

(10:27):
maybe you know power grid things of that sort communication
grid probably would fall under that umbrella. But that's about it.
But if you expand it, if you include in infrastructure,
we need to make sure that some of these white
middle schoolers grow up hating the right people. That's not infrastructure.

(10:50):
But that's how the game has played you. No one else.
They did it. They did it with the term choice.
I was just talking to one of the team before
the show. I said to me, is the most misused
word of the left, the word choice. You see the
bumper sticker. I'm pro choice, but my pro choice is

(11:12):
different than a lot of pro choice. If I say
I'm pro choice, it means I think that you should
have a choice. Do you want to vote? Do you
want to own a gun? Do you want to live here?
Do you want to work there? To me, that's a choice.
It has nothing to do with a living child in
a womb. But look at the brilliance of that campaign,
and that took years. Let's face it, that took decades.

(11:34):
But they do that with a lot of things, just
like the Clean Air Act has. You know, it talks
about what we need to do to your house and
your car. It's not the Mechanics Act it's the Clean
Air Act. So we need to be hyper vigilant for this.
And this is going to be as the news media
continues to try to save the Biden. Whatever he's doing

(11:54):
up in Washington. I don't even want to call it
a presidency. I can't figure out what it's doing. For
God to say, keep him off stairs. But as the
news media tries to save this debacle from from the
border to the bank, keep an eye on how they
start rewriting the language. I'm Ken Matthews, your guide for today.
We'll be back with your call. This is the Rush

(12:16):
Limbaugh Show eight d two two twenty eight eighty two.
Happy Monday, Easter Monday for some. And if you have
the day off, we're glad you're spending part of it
with the EIB Network. I'm your guide for today. My
name is Ken. And there's so much going on in Georgia,
and I spoke to Sydney, pal last week, and there's

(12:42):
a lot going on in several other states too. And
keep in mind, and I told my parents, I said,
keep in mind, you don't hear everything that's going on,
because there's only a handful of us that are talking
about it. That's why if you're wondering, if you think
that the good guys are asleep at the wheel and

(13:06):
it's over, that is so wrong, so wrong. I don't
know if you saw. But in Georgia, the Secretary of
State Raffinsburger, he petitions the court and he says, I
don't want Georgia to be forced to hand over ballots
for an audit. So here we are April fifth, and Georgia,

(13:29):
just like several other states, are still not allowing votes
to be examined or counted. Let that sink in because
it's April fifth, and when you're thinking about voting and
voting reform, and when you're thinking about these talking points
that the ridiculous news media uses. Well, it's been to

(13:52):
seven hundred and fifty eight thousand courts. I'm exaggerating, and
none of the evidence stuck. What I mean, none of
the evidence stuck. We can't even get some of these
governors and attorney generals of these states constitutionally required to
give us the information. When I say us, I'm talking
about we the people. This is the biggest mistake that
was made in twenty twenty. That's why I called twenty

(14:13):
twenty the American Awakening. The biggest mistake both parties made.
In particular, the Democrat Party was not only ignoring but
attacking we the people, and they did it on every
major platform. But they did it with everything that we
were concerned about. We the people were concerned with voting

(14:34):
and voting safety, We the people were concerned with shutdowns,
and they just ignored it. And it will come back
to bite them. It's coming back to bite them. Who
told me the wheels of justice they became rusted shut
during the Obama administration. The wheels like rotors, bad rotors

(14:57):
on breaks. It's just like, so that's think about that.
Think about how the wheels of justice were probably stock,
not even moving until President Trump came in, and then
it was such a shock when things started happening. This

(15:17):
is what bothers me. Joe Biden claims to be the
President of the United States, yet he supports the Major
League Baseball boycotting Georgia. Why would you do that? Think
about it. Why would you support any business from taking
business away from one of the states that you are there?

(15:42):
You're the president of all states. Right now, here's some
good news. The Georgia House of House Republicans, actually not
the whole House, but the House Republicans and Georgia voted
to stripp Delta of a thirty five million dollar tax break.
This is after Delta criticized the law. But this is

(16:02):
so over the top to call this law Jim Crow.
Seventy five percent of the American people support voter ID.
Seventy of black American voters support voter ID. And when
you go through and read it, something that a lot
of people haven't done. When you go through and read it,

(16:23):
you see that Joe Biden has been openly lying about it,
saying that you have to vote by five No, the
polls are open till seven in the law, saying that
you can't vote on weekends, Yes you can, saying that
you can't have water. You can't have bottled water, Yes
you can, You're just not allowed to use water to

(16:46):
promote or campaign for a candidate. You can't roll up
with your bottled Senate water and hand that out and
give people sales pitches in line, but you can still
have water. All this stuff has been designed to convince
you that somehow there's fire hoses and bulldogs and angry
sheriffs that are going to be going after voters. And

(17:08):
it breaks my heart that we have such an ignorant
news media that they would really believe Jim Crow is
alive in twenty twenty one. This is how disingenuous they are.
And you have to wonder, and Rush brought this up before.
Is Joe Biden just ignorant of things? Or is he
just an uncanny liar? Go ahead and play cut three dugs.

(17:31):
Biden loses it in Iowa has a melt down when
a male member of the audience confronted him about Ukraine.
The audio is a bit distorted because it's cheap. I
guess cheap microphones were used, But here is with two
bites on this and apparently plugs melts down. And again

(17:55):
the object lesson here is what these people can't hold up.
They cannot hold up under, not even hostile. They can't
hold up to a press that doesn't further their own
agenda with softball type questions saying they're going to investigate you.
We know all about that crap, no backbone, we know that.
But you win. The other hand, send your sound over

(18:18):
there to get a job and work for a gas
company that he had no experience with gas or nothing
in order to get access for the president. So you're
selling access to the president just like he was wire.
That's not true, and no one's going to said that.
You see it, No, I know you do. And by

(18:38):
the way, that's why I'm not sitting there. You don't.
I get up and let them go. Let go. But
the reason I'm run is because I've been around all
the time and I know more than most people don't,
and I get things done. That's why I'm running. And
you want to check my sheep on. Let's do push
us together, listen to let's run, Let's do whatever you
want to do. Let's take an IQ test, Let's do

(19:02):
push ups together. He's calling his supporter dumb and a
damn liar. You're a damn liar, man, You're damned liar.
That's not true. No one's ever said that. No one
can prove that, yes, we can plugs because you copped
to it. You copped to getting the prosecutor investigating your
son fired, and you threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine

(19:26):
with the assistance of Obama unless the prosecutor prosecutor your
son was fired, and he was fired, and then Ukraine
got something for it. Plugs was not done though. After
challenging the guy to an IQ test, after challenging his
supporter to do pushups together, Plugs kept going, O, my

(19:49):
son had any occasion no one's ever said, you know
America's anchor Baby Mark Stein is hosting Fox News Primetime
the entire week tonight, starting at seven o'clock Eastern, and
the rumor is he's going to have both Snarley on
and he's here with us now. Welcome mark Stein. Good

(20:11):
to say, Ken, great to be with you as always,
and yeah and yeah, there is truth to that rumor
that the mister Snurdley is going to be the first
guest on the show this evening, So I hope folks
will tune in for that. Well, I'm certainly going to
be watching How tall are you? By the way? Are
you the tallest person at Fox? Now? Now? I'm I'm

(20:35):
six foot one, which I okay, I don't know. I
don't know whether that's tall anywhere. I think the tallest
people on the planet are the Dutch and the Tutsis,
and I'm neither one of those. You had to get
the word tutsie in there. I knew you were waiting
for an opportunity. So what do you think? And I

(20:56):
know you'll probably be discussing this tonight, but something that
I find so offense is the news media and the
Democrats embracing this whole Jim Crow terminology and genre to
frame this Georgia voter law. It's despicable, is it not? Oh? Absolutely?
And if you take racism seriously, why would you And

(21:18):
if you take the long history of the Democrats in
particular with this thing through slavery and reconstruction and Jim
Crow and all the rest, why would you diminish the
seriousness of that by applying it to these relatively peripheral

(21:39):
changes in the Georgia voting law. And I find it
particularly reprehensible the woke corporations who are the most disgusting.
Apparently it's all right to be run by billionaires as
long as they're sufficiently woke. So you get people who
are doing business with all the most squalid and disgusting
people on earth, like Major League base Ball with its

(22:01):
Chinese deals, and so they don't get they've got no
interest in the electoral system in China. They've got no
interest in voter suppression, by which they mean harvesting Weiger
body parts in China. That's how they suppress voters there.
But suddenly Georgia is the worst place on Earth and
I and even just to bring it closer to home,

(22:21):
my hometown Toronto. The Blue Jays are a Major League
Baseball team, and that's a town where you're only allowed
to vote on voting day, within the prescribed hours and
within paper ballads. So how racist is that? The Major League?
If they win what they said, they'd pull out of Toronto,
And if the Blue Jays in any respect, they'd pull
out of Major League Baseball too. The China deal is

(22:44):
the most overlooked thing in the mainstream news media and
it drives me crazy. And the same with we have
major airlines, we have soft drinks. I don't think they
realize the damage they're doing to their brand. And then
you have Joe Biden, who was routing mL beyond to
leave Georgia. I thought he was president of all the states.
Why would he want to hurt George's economy? Why didn't

(23:06):
he come up with a better solution than boycott states
that didn't vote for me? Yeah? I don't honestly think
there's any great thinking behind what he does. I think
a lot of the time he's just flat. Were you
were talking about the comedy shows, the so called the
late night shows, Well, those guys don't tell jokes anymore.

(23:27):
They just essentially announce the correct attitude, and then the
audience applauds itself for having the correct attitudes. And I
think that that's actually when Biden's asked a question, you
can sort of see it in his eyes. He's trying
to think, what's the correct attitude. I can just about
remember what the correct attitude was when I first came

(23:49):
to Washington in nineteen seventy three, but it might not
be the same correct attitude now, so what is it?
And that's how he ends up. You end up with
a guy who is supposedly the nation's chief executive encouraging
economic harm on one of the jurisdictions whose interests he's
supposed to be looking out for. Absolutely amazing. But I think,

(24:12):
to cut him a break, it's just because he's floundering
trying to figure out what is the correct attitude for
a guy who, as he said, is one hundred and
thirty seven and things no longer work the same they
used to do back when he started. You know, the
the censorship, the banning of different platforms is poisonous. But

(24:32):
I think one of the most poisonous things is when
this attitude this, oh my gosh, Jim Crow, the Republicans
are racist. It ends up in schools, it ends up
in mainstream entertainment, it's all over social media. No one
has taken the time to explain that most Black Americans

(24:54):
want voter ID. Seventy five percent of all voters want
voter ID. And how do they compare voter ID to
dogs and billy clubs and fire hoses and the real
Jim Crow horrors? How do they even put that in
with a straight face. It's just mind boggling. Well, you

(25:14):
know that the Democrats are great opportunists. Whatever happens in
the news, they're they're very quick to just sort of
seize it and use it for their purposes to the
point where it doesn't have to bear any relation to reality.
I don't think, I mean, I don't actually think this
is about African Americans. I don't think it's about blacks.
I don't think it's about slavery. I don't think it's

(25:37):
about Jim Crow. I think this is about the fact
that as a conscious choice to maintain an advance power.
The Democrats want large numbers of people who are not
citizens voting in elections, and so the people they want
to vote are the people they're throwing over the fence

(25:58):
on the Rio Grand right now. They want all those
three and four you old babies who are getting phone
over the fence and crashing down to the desert below.
They want those kids to grow up to be good
Democrat voters, even if they're living in the shadows, even
if they're not legal residents, never mind citizens. They want
them voting, and this bill is designed to ensure that

(26:21):
they can get any voters they want. And as you
point out, actual black citizens of America are overwhelmingly opposed
to this because they don't like the racist argument. Oh yeah,
you guys. You guys can just about function if you
go to your town library, or if you ask for
proof of identity when you want to buy a seventy

(26:44):
dollar TV at radio Shack and you want to stretch
it out over six well you're just about capable of that.
But you wouldn't be capable of getting ID to vote.
So because you're too stupid, we have to have no
requirements for picture that's the most racist statitude of all
and it's not even about them, because it's really about
these people who aren't white Americans, who aren't black Americans,

(27:08):
who aren't brown Americans, who aren't Americans at all, but
just these people who are pouring over the southern border
that the Democrats see is tomorrow's voters. And I just
want to make it clear before we move on to
the next topic, Mark that for people tuning in, although
Mark is America's anchor baby, he was not dropped over
a wall on his head. It's a different time. It was.

(27:31):
I came over Diaga, falls in a barrel and washed
up on the New York side. That's how that worked.
And I figured out why I think you're so darned tall.
But Mark's going to be hosting a Fox News primetime
seven o'clock Eastern all week long, and bo will be
on tonight. But I figured it out because I said,
why did I think he was so tall? You were
standing next to Great Gutfeld once you know, then you

(27:53):
look like you were six foot nine And I said,
my god, how tall is Stein? No, Well, that's what's
I'll give you that Just as a personal I was
once photographed with Bernard Lewis, who was one of the
great scholars of Islam in the years after nine eleven,
and Bernard at that time, I think was something like
ninety seven ninety eight, and there was a whipper snapper

(28:16):
alongside us of like ninety three ninety four, and all
the only comments on that photograph were, wow, Stein is
way younger than I thought he was, because because next
to the two nonagenarians, I looked like I was twelve
years old, and next to Greg Gutfeld, I look like
I'm nine foot six, So that's how. And Greg looks

(28:37):
tall next to Dana Dana Perina, Yeah, that's that's strue.
He's very sporting to to put up with all those
all those kinds of jokes. But that's that's basically my tip.
It always looks oh, you know, tall, dark and handsome. Well,
that's because you're standing next to somebody who is rather diminished.

(29:00):
That we go. You know, I'm sure you saw the
Sunday shows and Operation Pity Hunter is in full swing.
I cannot believe how the news media is bending over
backwards to dance around the hard drive and how no
one has asked Hunter, you've forgot everything about the hard drive.

(29:20):
In fact, you forget everything, but you had the presence
of mind and the memory to write a book that
he's trying to sell. Now, what's your take on this
Hunter Biden thing? Is the truth ever coming out on
this or what? Well? I think the short answer to
that is no, because I don't. I honestly one of
the most disgusting things, and it's really a hard thing

(29:41):
to be funny about or to be amusing about, because
I think it's true. And that is the total corruption
of the justice system, particularly at the federal level, but
it leaks and bleeds down to your local county courthouse
in some respects too. But at the federal justice level,
there's simply the people who are in the club and
the people who are not in the club. So we

(30:03):
all know that there's no possible Hunter Biden for what
is on that laptop. Ought to be at risk of
losing his liberty, to put it mildly, but he knows
that's never gonna happen because he knows, you know, they've
already exot He's apparently the victim. This is a guy
who treats people like used Kleenex, but somehow he's the

(30:28):
victim in all the things he does. He's become a
multi gazillionaire, even though he's never actually done anything that
would command even the most modest remuneration. He lives among
movie stars in Beverly Hills, and yet we all know
that even that it's it's not like, you know, the
poor old George Poppadopoulos and the other people caught up

(30:49):
in the phony Russia investigation, if there were a Ukraine investigation,
none of these people would ever go to jail for anything.
And he knows that once you know which team you're on,
are you are you? Are you part of the team
that's on the inside. You part of the team if
you if you're one of the guys who's on the inside,

(31:10):
like Hunter, you got nothing to fear whatsoever. If you're
one of the guys who's not in the club, my
advice is clear out you're checking account, get in the
car and drive across the Canadian border if you can
find a border coast that's open, because you're going down
and huntersen and that lack of equality before the law
is really something that that that's actually one of the

(31:34):
biggest issues in this country today. Mark Stein is can
you stay for another segment. Yeah, okay, sure, okay, great. Well.
Mark Stein will be back on the Russa Lin Boss
Show right after this. We're back on the EIB Network.
My name's Ken Matthews. Your guide for today. We're it's
a pleasure to be talking with Mark Stein, the longest

(31:55):
running guest toast on the Russia Lin Boss Show. And
Mark will be hosting Fox News Primetime tonight seven o'clock
all this week at seven o'clock and both Snerdley will
be joining him. But it is a pleasure to have
you on and to be conversing with you, Mark, because
it's been such a strange last three months in the
history of the country. When you factor in everything that's

(32:18):
gone on in the news and here at EIB, it's
almost surreal and bitter sweet from day to day. No,
it is, and I can't get over the way the
synchronicity about that. And I have absolutely no doubt that
when Rush got his diagnosis at the start of twenty twenty,

(32:39):
he set himself the challenge of making it through to
election day, and then of course election day turned as
it does, into the election morning after and all the
ballots arriving in the small as of the morning and
all those kinds of features and Rush, I think Rush

(32:59):
gave it one hundred and thirty percent. And I look
back on those last few months of the election campaign
and I wish some others had had devoted themselves to
the cause the way he did. It was a spectacular
final effort, and I do think it had some adverse consequences,

(33:20):
just just just from the strain on him and actually
working so hard to put Trump over the top on
November third. Well, he is a He was an example
of walking the talk. He came in swinging almost you know,
four decades ago. He came in swinging, and he went

(33:41):
out swinging. And twenty twenty he I didn't think it
was possible for him to get more focused and more
like a laser into what is going on in the
world and in our country and what we need to do.
But he knew and he just tightened his focus in
He was like he was a lifeline. I think he

(34:02):
was a lifeline for millions of people across the world
during twenty twenty. Yeah, and I think I think in
some strange way, you know, he said at one point,
I was the original social distancer, which by which he
meant that there's times he just likes to be alone

(34:23):
and on his own and with his health. That I think,
in a certain sense, accelerated that and he did. He
was seriously social distancing before all the COVID stuff came
in and keep keeping people slightly away. And one consequence
of that was that he was incredibly clear sighted about

(34:47):
the stakes in this election, about the bigger picture on
whether America is losing global dominance to China, all those issues.
Rush is was there sitting in Palm Beach, not wanting
to see a lot of people and absolutely focused on

(35:07):
the miserable state of the world. If these guys who
are running the joint get their way. Well, thanks for
being on. You know how it works on the EIB
network because you've been doing it a long time. So
we do have an obscene break here coming up. However, however,
I'll be watching you tonight at seven o'clock on Fox

(35:29):
News with Bo and all the best. He in. We'll
talk again soon. Thanks a lot, Ken, always a pleasure,
Mark Steed, America's anchor. Baby. You know, paying the right
amount for something you use every single day was also
one of Rush's criteria when he contemplated endorsing a service
he was looking out for you. Naturally, you'd be amazed

(35:49):
how many opportunities that rush turned away because it didn't
pass his quality test. One service he said yes to
was Pure Tall wireless phone service and plans. Here's why
you shop for the best price you can find on insurance,
on home mortgages, on vacation travel, maybe even cheeseburgers. I

(36:11):
don't know, so why not do the same thing with
cellular phone service. Your cell phone number is your own,
and who you choose for cellular services all up to you.
One company makes such a compelling offer it's worth thinking about.
It's Pure Talk. They offer you on limited talk text
and six gigs of data for just thirty dollars a month,

(36:33):
and guess what if you go over on the data,
they don't charge you for it. Pure Talk. Compare that
monthly price thirty dollars a month, to your current cell
phone bill and you'll see why it makes sense to
change now. I don't know what your cell phone bill is,
but I would wager you that it's sixty bucks or more,

(36:55):
maybe one hundred and twenty, maybe seventy five or more.
This out Pure Talk is offering you on limited talk,
on limited text and six gigs of data for thirty
dollars a month. Now Pure Talk knows they're in the
same business with the likes of AT and T and
Verizon and T Mobile. In fact, get this, they use

(37:17):
the same cell towers of one of the big companies
that covers ninety nine percent a country. They offer superior service.
One hundred percent of the Pure Talk customer support team
is right here in America. So you make one phone
call to them today. You can start to save money
by switching to pure Talk. All you do is get
your cell phone and dial pound two fifty next you

(37:40):
say pure Talk. It's that simple. You'll say fifty percent
off your first month. That's pound two five zero, and
then say pure Talk. One of the pure Talk customer
service people be right there on the phone to help you.
And by the way, it's legit thirty dollars a month
on limited talk, text and six gigs of data. Thank

(38:01):
you for spending time with us today on the EIB
network eight hundred two eight two twenty eight eighty two.
It was a real tree to have Mark Stein on.
He's gonna be on Fox News tonight don't forget seven o'clock.
He's going to be on all week every night this week,
Bo Snerdley will be on with him tonight. And it's

(38:24):
amazing when you look at Ukraine and you look at
how it was distorted by the news media and never
fully investigated. And you remember they tried to get Donald
Trump on a quid pro quo, and when Joe Biden
actually did the quid pro quo, and then I guess

(38:47):
Hunter would be the kid pro quo because Hunter was
involved in the Ukraine. And the investigations into Biden and
Hunter in the Ukraine and the fact that nobody talking
about it is amazing. Now here we are. Ukraine's military
announced the day before yesterday they're holding joint military drills

(39:08):
with NATO troops later this year amid and I'm quoting
the Hill escalating violence with pro Russian separatists in the
eastern part of the country. And furthermore, in the past
two weeks, Moscow has moved to test Washington. I wonder
why they did that. Do you think it's because Joe

(39:29):
Biden doesn't know what day it is? Could be if
you know what's said, And I hate to think this
way but if I was an enemy of the United States,
come on Joe Biden's last speech, I'd be giggling about it.
So Moscow is moving to test us and our allies

(39:50):
on land, in the air, and at sea. With the
build up of military equipment in eastern Ukraine. I don't
know if you've seen the videos of this pretty powerful stuff,
all kinds of tanks and vehicles on trains for miles
miles of train carloads of military equipment, plus military flights

(40:11):
near Alaskan airspace and submarine activity in the Arctic. So
you have to ask yourself, if you voted for Biden,
do you think Joe Biden has a handle on this?
This was rush regarding this whole situation, Mike, can you
play cut five? Ukraine was a corrupt hell hole under

(40:36):
the previous president, not Zelenski, but the president prior to him.
During the Obama administration, Ukraine was a corrupt hell hole.
And it was during that era that Biden arranged the
deal with Barisma for his kid, which is eighty three thousand,
five hundred dollars a month, three points some odd million
dollars a year, and the kid doesn't know anything natural

(41:00):
gas or Energem was it, and so during that period
Russia had attacked Ukraine. We did not provide any aid whatsoever,
despite being obligated to do so. The Obama administration refused
to help Ukraine as Russia came in and literally took

(41:21):
one third of it with no opposition. We had made
a deal with Ukraine if you will disarm to make
Europe safer. You, if you'll disarm, will come to your
defense if you're attacked. They disarmed, Russia attacked them to
annex Crimea. The Obama administration did not come through with
any aid. Don't know why. The story is that he

(41:44):
didn't want to irritate Putin. It was Obama who had
this soft relationship with Putin, didn't want to make him mad,
didn't want to disappoint him, what have you. So there
it is. If you're wondering, you hear the Ukraine come
up a lot, But the fact that it's never been
explained that clearly before is Rush just explained it. That

(42:05):
should concern you. All we heard about the Ukraine was
quit pro quo and was it a good call? Was
it a bad call? And Trump didn't do this? And
Trump didn't do that? When this is not the first
time that President Obama has, in my opinion and probably
some other people, left America vulnerable on the world stage

(42:29):
with regard to our enemies. So I can't help but wonder,
since Joe Biden was part of Obama's administration, if he
has the same mindset, and that mindset is at least
this is this is what President Obama made perfectly clear

(42:49):
to a lot of us. Don't upset your enemies, just chill,
just do what you're told. And that's scary. That's scary.
And I always got the impression, especially during the Obama administration,
whether it was Susan Rice, the former National Security Advisor
by the way, she's the Domestic Policy Advisor now for

(43:12):
people who don't know, Susan Rice is back in the
administration of Joe Biden and John Carries back in there.
And there's a whole bunch of players from the Obama
campaign and administration and from Hillary. So we've got this
same gang of people that want to play kate and
be compliant with people that threaten our very way of life.

(43:34):
It should frighten people, but of course it doesn't because
they're busy focusing on who knows what the latest controversy
about a Republican congressman. But when you think about what
happened with Joe Biden's son Hunter in Ukraine, you can

(43:54):
imagine the opinion they have of Joe Biden st on
the behavior of his son and the deals with China.
How could you have a good opinion of our current
leader in the Oval Office, Joe Biden eight two twenty
eight eighty two. Let's squeeze in a phone call here

(44:16):
Julie from Custer, South Dakota. Hi, Julie, you're on the
EIB network. Hi, Ken, thanks for taking my call. Long
time Rush fan. He helped me raise three Rush babies
and I'm so proud of they are strong conservative, they
are carrying on the fight. Awesome. I'm calling because I

(44:39):
some funs passed around a video and that Naomi Wolf
made and I remember thinking myself, Oh, this is something
that Rush would be able to tell us the truth about.
You know, we've turned him for so many years, so
I'm hoping he should shut some light on him from me. Basically,

(45:00):
in the video, she was kind of coming from the
point of view of a tech company owner and she's
warning us about the vaccine passport. Her point was once
we accept this, there's no resistance. And she says the
platform is practically the same as the Chinese social credit

(45:25):
system that monitors everything, so we could know if they
don't like what I say on Facebook or something, or
you know, whatever they deem that they're looking at, then
I wouldn't be able to go to the grocery store
or or the restaurant or the control the you know,

(45:51):
everything that goes with it. And she was saying to
get involved at the state level and get this band.
And you know, there's millions out there like me who
we don't like what's going on. We want to get involved.
We're not sure what to do or when you know,
is this something for us to jump on or is

(46:15):
she just kind of exaggerating conspiracy really kind of a thing.
Oh no, no, this is already This has already been
in play, and we've heard we've heard everybody from Bill
Gates to people at the CDC basically say that. And
I just heard of a contributor on CNN, a doctor
Yen I believe her name was. I'm pretty sure it

(46:37):
was doctor Yen, dark haired Asian woman speaking on CNN
over the weekend, and she said look, if if people
don't want to and this was her quote almost verbatim,
if people don't want to get the vaccine passport, then
they just won't be able to participate in certain freedoms.
And that terrified me. But it is a reflection of

(46:58):
the direction of where we're going that it's exactly what
it is it's going to use. They can't tell you
whether to get the vaccine or not. They can't tell
you whether to get the passport or not yet, but
what they can do is punish you if you don't.
So what they're going to try to do is get
more businesses. I know for a fact several colleges I

(47:20):
read over the weekend. I don't want to say the
wrong name of the colleges, but you'd recognize them. They've
already said students aren't returning to campus unless they have
a vaccine passport. So they've already dropped the gauntlet down.
Now it is unconstitutional, and her advice of doing the
state level is exactly where we need to be with this,

(47:41):
because our states have much more power than we think
they have. So you call your local representative, you call
your local senator, and you discuss this with them. You
get it on the agenda, and if enough people call
and say, look, why do we in South Dakota or Michigan,
or Pennsylvania, whatever, why do we have to have a

(48:05):
passport that shares health information everywhere we go. That's absurd,
That's obscene when you think about where we were even
five years ago. If someone brought this up, they'd look
at you like you were crazy. If someone said to
a liberal walking into a drug store, hold on a second,

(48:26):
I've got to ask you some questions about your medical health.
I mean, that would be outrage. But we've all kind
of got in line with this. And another thing I
want to mention Julia is none of this stuff can
happen unless people are compliant, and there's a way that

(48:47):
you can push back legally and peacefully. That's what we
need to be doing, and we do that at the
local level. And from a legal standpoint. You've heard me
say this before. I say it on my show all
the time. In Ania. Get to know your sheriff, because
the sheriff is sworn to protect the constitution, and he

(49:08):
is an elected law enforcement official, unlike police chiefs and
other agencies that are appointed. So that I'm glad you
asked that question, because I know a lot of people
are concerned about this, and that's how they're going to
try to leverage your behavior. They're going to try to
manipulate your behavior saying, well, you don't have a you

(49:31):
don't have a vaccine passport, so I guess you can't
come into the builders supply storm by a bag of sand.
It will get that ridiculous. I'm Ken Matthews, will be
right back on the EIB Network eight hundred two eight
two twenty eight eighty two. My name is Ken Matthews.
I'm your guide today through the wit and wisdom of

(49:52):
Rush Limbaugh, which is amazingly relevant and the analysis is
right on. And moment ago we were talking about Joe
Biden's foreign policy with regards to Ukraine and how the
administration is basically recycling the Obama playbook. When you think
about that, probably not a good thing. Anyway, Before we

(50:15):
get to that, if you'd like to see the video
tribute to Rush, if you go to Rush Limbaugh dot com.
It is free for you to watch now. This is
an hour long tribute. It's beautifully done. You have to
check it out. It's got behind the scenes footage about
the Russia Limbaugh Show, how Rush created it, the kind

(50:35):
of impact it's made on you and me and America.
You'll hear President Trump, Vice President Pence, family members, friends
of Rush's, and it's a great story, beautifully narrated by
Catherine Limbaugh. So when you have time, check it out
at Rush limbaugh dot com. An hour of enjoyment and

(50:57):
positive energy, I would say one hundred two two twenty
eight eighty two. So now after we're you know, you
look at and I happen to think Joe Biden is
a puppet of China. So when you look at the
big players that we should be concerned about on the
national stage, I think China and Iran are biggias, big big,

(51:21):
big eas. I know you're supposed to believe that it's
always Russia, Russia, Russia, but historically, if you break it open,
you'll see that China has really infiltrated this country and
this culture more than you can and I'm talking about
the communist Chinese to be clear about that. I like

(51:45):
to say that because when we have these discussions, whether
it's Russia, whether it's another country, we are talking about
the leadership of these countries and the political ideology of
these countries. We're not talking about the everyday citizens like
you and me, So we don't want the communist Chinese influence.

(52:11):
We don't want that Mao ideology. That's the pushback, and
it's one more thing that's always taken out of context
when people are quoting us in these discussions. So let's
go back to the fact. And I want to I
want to make sure with Mike. Do we have time

(52:31):
to play cut six? Mike? Okay, you may remember Obama's
nuclear pack with Iran. Well, guess what Biden wants to
redo it. Here's Rush John Bolt. Did you hear what
he says in Earthly He said letters Schmidder, I mean
a letter's fine, but that's not what the story is.
The story is Obama with this deal with Iran, is

(52:51):
surrendering to Iran. That's what Obama's Iran deal is. And
I was immediately reminded of what doctor Soul said to
me in an interview with the Limbo Letter, and he
told me, I still can't believe this. He said, imagine
we wake up one day in New York or Chicago
has been devastated by an Iran nuclear weapon. I said, yeah, Well,

(53:13):
what he said Obama was surrender, sweemy surrender. Obama isn't
gonna find it. That's what he said was his number
one concern. So when I saw Bolton essentially characterize the
deal Obama wants to do with Iran, securing them a
nuclear weapon, giving them permission, giving them time to do it,

(53:34):
Bolton said, Obama's surrendering. Yeah, the letters finding dandy for
what it is, but that's not the story, and the
reason for the letter is precisely at little Obama's surrendering. Now,
this group of Republicans, forty seven Republican senators wrote an
open letter to the Ayatollahs in Iran warning them that
any nuclear deal they signed with Barakhu, saying Oh will

(53:59):
not last after Oh leaves office. Organized by freshman Senator
Tom Cotton and signed by the chambers entire party leadership,
as well as potential twenty sixteen presidential contenders Marco Rubio,
Ted Cruz, and Ran pol the letter is meant not

(54:19):
just to discourage the Iranian regime from signing a deal.
It's also meant to pressure to White House into giving
Congress some authority over the process. This is not sitting
well with the Democrat Party. Let's get to the truth
of the matter. What this really of the letter is
one thing, but it's peanuts, says John Bolton. The deal

(54:43):
Iran that Obama is negotiating with Iran is surrender, exactly
what doctor Thomas Soul said he feared from Obama in
this Iranian nuke deal. We finally have some people appear
to be intimidated by Democrats in the media. Joe Biden,

(55:04):
as Barack Obama's own Secretary Defense is said, has been
wrong about nearly every foreign policy and national security decision
in the last forty years, Cotton said today, and that
was a reference to Robert Gates, the former Secretary of
Defense who ripped bite me in his memoir after leaving office.

(55:27):
If Biden has been wrong about virtually or nearly every
foreign policy national security decision the last forty years, so
Biden's been out there complaining and whining and moaning about
this Republican letter, Tom Cotton said, what does he know
about foreign policy? Moreover, if Joe Biden respects the dignity
of the institution of the Senate, he should be insisting

(55:48):
that the presidents submit any deal for the approval of
the Senate, which is exactly what he did on numerous
deals during his time in the Senate. And of course
Obama is going to go around Congressman like he is
on as much as he can. You know what's scary
about this and we should we should recognize this by now.

(56:08):
And Rush has pointed this out. He pointed it out
for decades that the Democrats use the same playbook, they
play the same cards, they have the same for the
most part foreign policy agenda, and they operate from a
position of weakness. But we should realize it here. This
was twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, and history is just repeating

(56:33):
itself again. I mentioned Susan Rice because she was a
national security advisor to President Barack Obama and then she
h yeah, after she was I believe ambassador to the UN.
I forget the exact years, but it was quite a
quite a time. And keep in mind Susan Rice, she
was the one that oversaw the Benghazi lie. And that's
the other thing they just the Democrats will keep recycling

(56:56):
their leftist friends so they can keep running these narrative
is because they know Susan Rice will cover for John Kerry.
John Kerry will cover for Obama. Obama will cover for Hillary,
Hillary will cover for Biden. Do you see how it
works as they weaken what stronger leaders have built. But

(57:18):
when you think about this, I want you to think
for a moment, the last time you saw Joe Biden
at a press conference it was once in the last
several months. Do you want him negotiating on the world stage?
And the numbers eight hundred two eight two twenty eight
eighty two. If you're just joining us, I hope you

(57:38):
had a meaningful Easter weekend and you're enjoying what is
Easter Monday for a lot of people, or just Monday
for others, or five days from the weekend for many
Eight hundred two eight two twenty eight eighty two. COVID
COVID COVID. Wow, that has been one of the most
powerful tools of manipulation. Have you ever seen anything in

(58:00):
history that has had the impact? And as Julie, she
had a great question earlier. She was talking about these
COVID passports and I forgot the name of the university.
I have it here now. Cornell University is mandating COVID
nineteen vaccine for students and staff. So you have to
show up with the vaccine passport or the COVID proof

(58:21):
to return to class at Cornell. And this is how
it will begin. And people constantly, as Julie did, and
others just like you, call the show and you ask
for suggestions and advice, and I do my best to
give solid advice. But I think the more we are compliant,

(58:46):
the more will be taken advantage of. And I here's
where I get that assessment from reading history. I'm a
history geek. I'm a student of history. I'm a political geek.
I'm a book junkie. And every single country you look at,
it always starts with compliant citizens. It always starts with, oh,

(59:13):
just do it, it's no big deal. And remember over
a year ago, when conservative people in news media, we're saying,
over a year ago, okay, we flatten the curve. This
is we don't need to shut down anymore. This is ridiculous.
We flatten the curve. We know it can hurt people.

(59:34):
COVID makes people sick, and especially people in the risk areas,
what have you. But you don't need to close the schools,
you don't need to shut down the entire world. But
people were compliant, and they were compliant because the giant
fear machine known as mainstream news media. Here's an example.

(59:58):
This is from Reuters. Listen to this headline, pandemic poised
to surge again in Silicon Valley. What does that even mean? Well,
they don't know. It's designed to keep you afraid. Here's
one pandemic sharpens inequalities. It could fuel unrest. No, no, no,
the pandemic does the pandemic Excuse me. The pandemic does

(01:00:22):
not sharpen inequalities. The news media does. People are not
walking around talking about rays and gender and sexual preference.
They have other things on their mind. It's the news media.
The news media sharpens everything. That's why it's so dangerous. Oh,

(01:00:48):
here's another one that drives me crazy. This is from
the New York Post. CDC Center for Disease Control says,
vaccinated people can travel, but you still have to wear
your mask. Told you there were conservative people saying a
year ago, it's never gonna end. Oh it will. No,

(01:01:09):
it won't. It's too late. It's too late once you
get once you get middle aged men walking around wearing
a mask on a jogging trail or driving around in
their car with a mask, or driving their bicycle with
a mask. It's over. It's over. The COVID card if
you will will now it's at the same level as
the race card for the Democrats, same level. And you

(01:01:31):
know the race card, they use that with it, well,
they use the race card with the COVID card. They
mix the cards together. COVID's really bad for women. COVID's
really bad for people of color. This, that and the
other thing. It's just this big stew of hate, and
they serve it up with a ladle. Here have some,
have some, have some. We shouldn't have any of this.
It's run its course. Everybody knows it. And when you

(01:01:53):
think about this COVID vaccination passport based on a virus
that was fraudulently filtered through the news. We still don't
know the truth about the number of cases. We still
don't know the truth about the number of deaths. We

(01:02:15):
never got the truth about the number of hospitalizations. And
that was evident in New York. That's the greatest example.
We've been told from day one, it's so bad. The
hospitals will be packed, people will drop in the streets.
You must put a mask on your one year old.

(01:02:35):
It was insanity and all they had to do would say, look,
if you have the following comorbidities or pre existing conditions,
and if you're over sixty five, or if you have
up a respiratory etc. Etc. You should be super vigilant
with sanitary things and health and whatever. But they didn't.

(01:02:58):
They said, oh my gosh, an opportunity to shut down
this economy, and they did and they're continuing to do it.
And the thing that I can't believe is even when
you're vaccinated, you still have to wear a mask. Why why?
I know what you're thinking because they said so, but

(01:03:21):
they never told you why. For one year, the leftist said,
follow the science, follow the evidence, follow the facts. And
for one year, people like you and I have been
saying to the CDC and the world health organizations and
to some of our dumb governors, where is the science,

(01:03:41):
Where is the evidence? Where are the facts? And their
response has been shut up and put your mask on,
or you're not going to them all? Eight two, eight two,
twenty eight eighty two? Do you have cut seven? Ready? Mike?
I forgot if I ask you before? All right, check
this out. The pandemic lockdowns gave the Democrats quote unquote

(01:04:05):
permission to impose massive regulations on anything and everything. And
that was the moment the dam began to break. Biden's
election and the Democrats winning those two seats in Georgia
broke the dam. There will now be a flood of

(01:04:25):
Biden executive orders shortly after his inauguration. Bills from rabid
leftists in Congress will follow. You just watch Trump's policies
triggered the great recovery. Biden's will begin the great reversal,
the great decline, and we will no doubt be told
again that we are in a decline. We're a nation

(01:04:48):
and decline, and it's a good thing. The Democrats are
in charge because they know they know how to manage declines,
which could be true, but democra crats have different goals
than Trump. The Democrats want and need a dependent, permanent underclass.

(01:05:08):
They wanted their opening arms, and they're going to make
sure that open borders becomes the order of the day
because they need a dependent and permanent underclass. They also
need to suppress real news and free speech. They need

(01:05:30):
to control narratives in order to control people. But here's
the thing. This is some of squandering opportunities in politics.
The Democrats are not looking for what has worked well
for the American people the past several years. This is
where so many people I think have gone wrong in

(01:05:51):
this country. So many people believe that the Republicans and
Democrats basically have the same objectives, just different ways of
going about them. People believe the Democrats think government's necessary
in a big and omnipresent way in order for the
country to be great, and Republicans conservacing. Nope, Nope, the

(01:06:14):
exact opposite. The less government the better, the more grass
roots politics, the more entrepreneurism, the more liberty and freedom,
the greater the country. Well, we don't share the same objectives.
The Democrats do not have the same goals and objectives,

(01:06:37):
just different ways. If that were true, the Democrats would
be looking for what has worked well for the American
people and would try to spin it while continuing it
with their fingerprints on it. They would keep the border closed,
they would continue to find a way to support Trump's
revised trade deals. They would keep us out of the

(01:07:00):
Paris Climate Accord. They would not try to close down
the Keystone Exel pipeway. Because all these things have worked
and many more. The Democrats want to tear them all down,
and they want to reverse them all. They do not
want to expand on what has worked for the American
people to pass several years. The borders are going to
be opened, opposing points of view i e. Free speech

(01:07:25):
will be silenced, Disposable income will be reduced to be
a tax increases, travel will be restricted, Energy costs are
going to skyrocket. They don't want you to have any
memory of the greatness of the Trump economy, Trump trade deals,

(01:07:45):
or any other thing that his fingerprints are all over.
And the pandemic is what permitted them to remove all
the breaks the Democrats saw what was possible. Trump's impeachment
is needed not just to destroy Trump, but to provide
diversions and distractions to cover for what is coming. So

(01:08:06):
much truth and you just heard it right there. You know.
Rushed loved using technology to rush. It made so many
more things possible. And the company that digitally transfers all
your family videos and movies and pictures is a great
example of this. They use tech to make it possible
for you to rediscover all those great moments on videotape,

(01:08:29):
super eight film on your computer or TV screen. They're
in your closet. You're thinking, oh, if we only could
share those Well, Rush explained it this way. So how
much you think how easy it is these days to
use your phone as a video camera, Let mean second nature?
Now do you even stop and thinking about it? If
you're with family, friends, whatever great moment in the making,

(01:08:52):
you'll simply whip out the phone, switch to video and
hit the shutter. Now, a decade ago, you were scrambling
to find the video camera, the cam corder, whatever it was.
Had to turn it on you hope you had something
to record it all on, had an empty tape cartridge
in there, had to make sure the batteries were working
because you didn't carry that thing around with you like
the phone Special project. Those family members captured on videotape,

(01:09:18):
they're still valuable. You just can't watch them anymore because
you don't have the media. You don't have Beta Max,
you don't have VHS, you don't have Super eight film,
you know none of it. And you've got all that
stuff from all of those years ago. But there's a
way to bring it back to life on current technology
company called Legacy Box fixes that problem. Legacy Box digitally

(01:09:40):
transfers family movies onto computer discs, files, thumb drives, in
the cloud, whatever DVDs however you want it, and they
do it within a couple of weeks. So if you've
got old family movies on Beta Max VHS movie reels,
bring them back to life with Legacy Box. It's amazing.
You start online a legacybox dot com, ask them to

(01:10:02):
send you one of their boxes. It's a legacy box.
It's it's shielded and protect this so none of the
stuff in it gets damaged in transit. You put your
video because sets in there, the old pictures of movie reels.
They use overnight shipping to keep track of just where
bad box is in transit. They get started when they
get it, they let you know when they've received it.
They stay in touch as they're doing the digitizing. A

(01:10:23):
couple of weeks time, you have digital versions of all
of that video you haven't seen and who knows how long,
and the original quality is preserved. It's it's really fascinating
and it is fabulous at the same time, and you
can duplicate it, give it away, edited whatever you want,
as many people as you want to share it with.
But start now at legacybox dot com. Slash rush. You'll

(01:10:46):
say fifty percent that way this week, fifty percent this
week at legacybox dot com slash rush and that's the
that's the web address, and that'll cover you. Legacy Box
recently surpassed one million customers, and celebration of that milestone,
Legacy Boxes offering fifty percent off their digital transfer service.

(01:11:10):
Join more than a million other families who's used legacy
Box with half off their regular prices. A moment ago,
we were talking about compliance and how a government needs
our compliance to do anything. If you and I stop

(01:11:31):
paying taxes, I'm not suggesting you do that. I don't
want anybody go into prison, at least not today. But
if you and I stop paying taxes, the government would
have no money. There would be no desk or armored cars,
or planes, or envelopes or files, nothing, nothing. The government

(01:11:56):
produces nothing. It's all our money, all the money going
to the illegal immigrants, all our money, the money in
the trillion dollars this and the infrastructure, and the overstructure
and the understructure and maybe my structure. I don't know.
All tax money, all tax dollars. One of the most
offensive things that I've seen, and I cannot believe it's

(01:12:19):
happening in America is the abuse of the First Amendment,
not just freedom of speech, but freedom to practice religion.
And they have come at it from every different angle.
And I want to just share a little slice of
this for a few reasons, because I'm a poll Lock
born in New Jersey, and I know there's a lot
of Polish people listening and including members of my family.

(01:12:45):
And I found this SoundBite. It's on Breitbart. By the way,
I'm just going to play a section of it. You'll
want to listen to the whole thing. It'll energize you.
A Polish pastor chases the police out of his church.
This is in Canada. This is over the weekend, Alberta, Canada.

(01:13:06):
And this is how it went. The health inspector showed
up started demanding that everybody put their mask on. This
was just two days ago with five armed cops. Please
get out, get out of this property, immediately. Get out,
Get out of this property, immediately out. I don't want

(01:13:27):
us hear anything out of this property immediately. I don't
want to hear a word out out out of this
property immediately until you'll come back with a warrant. Out
out out out, out, out of this property, immediately out.

(01:13:49):
So that's how you do it. Now that may frighten
some snow flakes or some soyboys, but that's how you
do it, because they have no right in that church,
especially during worship. It's unconstitutional. That's unconstitutional. There's a whole
bunch of stuff that's going on right now that's unconstitutional.

(01:14:10):
And we are afraid, not all of us, but some
of us are afraid to peacefully legally tell people to
get out. We'll be right back. You know, you didn't
have to read a bunch of history books to know
what was coming. Rush Limbaugh explained it every day. He

(01:14:34):
explained it. He just called it. In that last segment,
he just called it. He said, we are going to
have higher gas prices higher Well, now everything's higher, the
prices are. I never saw anything happen so quickly as
far as the price of lumber, the price of meat, gas,

(01:14:54):
everything's just. And it's amazing that socialists and communists can
do damage so quickly and undo the people's will so
quickly with the help of the news media. Some of
the most guilty people are professional athletes. We'll talk about
that coming up next hour three of the show, thrilled

(01:15:18):
that you're here on the EIB network. The wit, the wisdom,
and dare I say the predictions of Rush over the
last few years, and keep in mind, Rush predicted so
much of the Trump phenomenon, and it truly is and

(01:15:42):
continues to be a phenomenon. By the way, if anybody
wants to make a Trump twenty twenty one bumper sticker
Trump twenty twenty one, I'll buy that. I'm just letting
you know. Yeah, that's my big thing now, Trump twenty one.
It's just it's just a vibe. I ap, Now, that's
a cool bumper sticker. I don't know if I want

(01:16:02):
to wait till twenty four. Seriously, I don't know it.
At the look at the trajectory of what the Biden
administration is doing, do you think do you think the
country as it is or was makes it to twenty
twenty four. I mean, we're still waiting for Arizona and

(01:16:25):
Georgia to deliver the evidence that they were supposed to
deliver three months ago so we can examine things. This
is what nobody talks about. There is a stall campaign
and a misinformation campaign about so much that's going on.
Which brings me too. How if the politicians lie, which

(01:16:49):
they do on both sides, this is how we get
into these messes. We got into this mess about so
many different things. But let's let's focus on what I
would call a true cluster, and that is professional sports.
But it doesn't get that far. It starts with politicians lying,

(01:17:12):
but it never gets that far unless the news media
reinforces it. So the politicians start to lie. Yeah, this
new voter law in Georgia, it's like Jim Crow, Jim Crow.
I learned about that in social studies after I had
my Green Energy course and my Powerful Women class. Yeah,

(01:17:32):
but we're Jim Crow is so far, it's so long
ago when you look at how time moves, it's twenty
twenty one. And the fact that Joe Biden said, the
efforts to reform election laws I'm quoting Joe Biden in
Georgia and Iowa are sick and Unamerican, and they bring

(01:17:57):
back Jim Crow. This is what we're up against. Now.
Can we win? Of course we can. We outnumber them
by about three hundred and forty million. Of course we
can win. There are so many ways to push back
peacefully and legally. But the news media keeps that from
us as well. Because the news media is on team Biden,

(01:18:21):
team China, just like the Major League Baseball is on
team China. The politician starts to lie. This is horrible.
We can't let people disenfranchise voters. If one more clown
says disenfranchise to me, they don't even know what it means.
Woke has become a joke. Don't hang with woke people.
Hang with people that are awake. Hang around with those

(01:18:43):
people because woke has become a joke. From major companies, airlines,
sports teams, I'm so tired of seeing grown men on
their knees. How did that even happen? You don't think
China's laughing their butt off? How did that even happen?
How did we become the country where all the grown

(01:19:05):
men take a knee and do exactly what they're told.
That's kind of scary, So the news media keeps it going.
The news media will not tell you the truth about
Joe Biden's comments. You know, voting's gonna end at five o'clock. Wrong,
nothing changed in Georgia. It's still seven am to seven pm.
Nothing changed. Where did they come up with this they're

(01:19:28):
going to close the polls at five o'clock. You won't
be able to vote. The pathological line would not even happen,
It would not continue if the media didn't do it too.
In Iowa, they moved up the closing time by one hour,
so you know when the polls closed now eight pm
in Iowa. The polls are open seven to eight in

(01:19:50):
the new bill. So if you've been buying what MSNBC
has been selling, you've been buying a whole ton of lies.
And that we ridiculousness about you. The absentee ballots, there
will be no absentee ballots. That's what Joe Biden said.
They want to get rid of absentee ballots. Nothing of

(01:20:11):
the sort. Now, grant you had mean sitting down and
reading the bill. And that's something that a lot of
news people will not do if it's not on the teleprompt,
if they won't say it. And that's a lot of
teachers won't do that either. You get a liberal college professor,
they don't need to read a book. They're a professor,
for god's sake. There you go. They went to Stanford

(01:20:33):
like Susan Rive. There's gonna be absentee ballots in Iowa.
They said, you know what, let's make sure that the
ballots arrive by eight pm on election day. Now, anybody
with common sense, that's this entire audience, but maybe not
your neighbor who's still watching the view and Jerry Springer
and reruns. How is that? What? How does that disenfranchise anybody?

(01:21:00):
You could have an absentee ballot, you can send it
days ahead, but you got to make sure it arrives
on election day by eight pm. See, what we're trying
to avoid is another stolen election at four am. You see.
And Biden also went and said, this is Jim Crow.

(01:21:20):
And I can tell you firsthand, this is not Jim Crow.
Having read a lot about Jim Crow, and it was horrible,
It was a horrible time. They were horrible laws, and
it was a dark period in our history. But asking
voters to provide the number of their driver's license or
a free state provided ID and put that number partially

(01:21:42):
on your mail in ballot is not Jim Crow. Now,
if there was a fire hose involved, or if someone
got a beating with a baton and a nightstick, or
dogs were let loose, or a door was slammed on
your fingers. I could understand it. But somebody saying, hey,
can you put the last four numbers of your driver's
license on the lower right hand copy of your mail
in ballot and have it in by eight pm on

(01:22:03):
election day? Jim Crow? No, No, And who is contributing
to this? The ding Dogs and professional sports? My god,
just play, just play, for goodness sake, you're on the field. Play.
You want to do stuff off the field on your
own time when you're not on ESPN, have at it.
But for goodness sake, talk about humiliating. Thank goodness. The

(01:22:27):
Republican Senators are proposing taking away MLB Major League Baseball's
antitrust exemption over them leaving Georgia, and I think you
probably saw they want to take away some type of
tax benefit from Delta because Delta is gonna everybody's everybody's

(01:22:49):
involved in this wokeness. But wokeness, like most of the
lies of the left over the past decade, is based
on a lie. BLM based on a lie. The wokeness,
the voting the January sixth event based on lies. And

(01:23:14):
then they take these lies and they take them to
the media and the media goes, oh my god, these
are some good lies. I'm going to expound on these,
and then pretty soon Christina Aguilera and Tom Cruise and
Tom Hanks are expounding on him, and then Stephen Colbert
is and pretty soon everybody's on board with the lie.
No one reads the laws, no one reads the bills,

(01:23:37):
no one reads the court transcripts. We know they can
read because they're playing on their phones all day, so
we know they can read. Now, one of the few
people in professional sports, Mike, can you have eight cut
eight standing by? When I heard Charles Barkley say this,
this is you would think Charles Barkley listens to Rush

(01:24:03):
Limbaugh all the time, Listen to this man. I think
most white people and black people are great people. I
really believe that in my heart. But I think our
system is set up where our politicians, whether they're Republicans
are Democrats, are designed to make us not like each
other so they can keep their grasp of money and power.

(01:24:25):
They divide and conquer. I truly believe in my heart
most white people and black people are awesome people, but
we are so stupid following our politicians, whether they are
Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is hey, Let's
make these people not like each other. We don't live
in their neighborhoods. Were all got money. Let's make the

(01:24:46):
whites and blacks like each other. Let's make rich people
and poor people not like each other. Let's scramble the
middle class. I truly believe that in my heart. This
is amazing. But this is not the first time that
Sir Charles has made great comments about the truth. And
it's so refreshing because he is a sports icon, a

(01:25:11):
black man, a wealthy man. I would consider him an
American with a lot of clout, wouldn't you. And there
he is just saying the truth. So we this audience
knows better. But think about all the people that don't
know better. They'll watch a morning television show on a

(01:25:35):
major news network and they believe everything. It doesn't matter
how many times NPR or CNN or CBS have to go, oh, sorry,
that was wrong. That guy wasn't a spy, my bad,
That wasn't Russian interference. Yet the Russians didn't do that
with the Hunters. Sorry, we just said that because we

(01:25:57):
hate Trump, or we hate you, whatever, whatever it is.
When you start unraveling these lies, you start to realize
that the majority of Americans, they may not have the
money Charles Barkley has, but they think like he does.

(01:26:17):
And this is why I was so heartbroken when I
saw COVID and other things negatively impact are kids for
the last year, because children are at a point in
their life where they need to be taught hate. And

(01:26:39):
if they're not getting taught hate, if they're just being
taught to respect each other and not taught fear of
COVID or fear of a particular skin color, or fear
of Donald Trump, like some of the teachers. How many
videos do we see go viral on social media where
teachers were saying, and you know, Donald Trump is gonna
broke people in prison and is gonna gotta arrest your

(01:27:00):
mom if you're from Mexico, and remember that, and the
news media never stepped in and corrected it. So you
had eleven year old kids. How much more can we
traumatize our kids? We told him the black plague was
gonna get them, and it was a load of garbage,
and you know it was. We told him that Trump
was gonna get them. We told him that conservatives were

(01:27:22):
gonna get them. We told him that the sun is
gonna get them, and Bill Gates will try to block
it if he can when he's done vaccinating everybody. The
damage done to children and children think like Charles Barkley,
believe it or not. And that's not to take away
from Charles Barkley, because what he just said was powerful stuff,

(01:27:44):
but that's how children think. Children don't see color unless
Don Lemon, or Anderson Cooper or Stephen Colbert point it
out to them. They don't see it. They don't care
unless somebody says, oh, oh no, no, no no, no, don't

(01:28:05):
don't do that because of him and her and and
that's such a shame. And that's what we lost this year.
We lost that this year when we gave in to
our uninformed government. We'll be right back on the EIB network.
It's the EIB Network. I am your guide for today.
Ken Matthews on the Rush Limbaughs Show. A moment ago,

(01:28:28):
we were talking about Charles Barkley, and one of the
most enjoyable things about watching Charles Barkley is nobody ever
knows what he's gonna say. That you understand that sports
networks and most news networks are so woke and they're
so on board with the narrative. And I love it
when someone says, so, you know, Charles, you understand four

(01:28:51):
by four equals seventy five. No, it equals eight. They're like, wait, WHOA,
that's not on the teleprompter. Charles and Rush knew this.
Here he is. Charles Barkley is in the news again
for what he thinks about politics. And this is another example.
Barkley has said something that is by no means new,

(01:29:14):
No means is it revolutionary, no means is it unique.
But because it's Charles Barkley, it has made news. It's
on bright Bart. Charles Barkeley says voting Democrat has not
elevated black people. Duh, and yet Chuck votes Democrat. Here's
a pull quote. Charles Barkley is not impressed by what

(01:29:37):
he saw, telling reporters that every black person I know
has always voted Democrat, but most are still poor despite
that support. Well, I and of course not to make
this about me, my friends, but I've been making this
point for a long time. And so his Trump Trump,
in campaigning for African American votes, said to them, what
have you got to lose? You've been supporting this party

(01:29:59):
that's been promised to fix every grievance, you've got to
fix every economic hell hole you live in, and you're
still complaining after fifty years. African American voters who vote
straight party ticket are still unhappy and still critical and
still miserable over the very things that they became Democrats over.
The Democrat Party takes the African American vote for granted

(01:30:22):
because they know that black vote's not going anywhere. So
you African Americans to vote Democrat, you need to know something.
The Democrats don't have to do a thing for you.
They don't have to waste any money on you, they
don't have to waste any resources on you, because they
know how you're going to vote. It's the same with California.
Democrats don't have to spend any time in California. They
don't have to spend any money. They don't have to

(01:30:44):
care a wit because they know that California is going
to vote Democrat. So they can take them for granted too. Now,
Barkley isn't wrong, and I don't misunderstand I'm not an
happy said it by any stretch. I'm just saying this
isn't new. It's about time everybody started figuring this out.
The problem with Chuck is that he still doesn't get

(01:31:06):
what Trump is doing. He says, it's an economic thing.
That's what both parties have been neglecting, especially the Democrat Party. No, Chuck,
Trump is not neglecting the economic thing. African American unemployment
is at an all time low ever since such records
have been kept. Same thing with Hispanics, Chuck. The Wall

(01:31:28):
Street Journal has an editorial today describing the latest employment
data and its revelations on vastly increasing average wages in
America or for ninety nine percent of the American people,
wages her up. Taxes are down. The Republicans have not

(01:31:49):
been neglecting the economy. Trump has not been neglecting the economy.
The Democrat Party doesn't want a good economy, Chuck. The
Democrat Party can't politically afford a really roaring economy. They
would love to take credit for one, but they don't
benefit from it. People doing well, Chuck, People engaging in

(01:32:11):
self reliance and doing okay on their own. That doesn't
help the Democrat Party. Democrat Party needs people who are
incapable of that. Every black person I know has always
voted Democrat, and with the exception of a few guys
who can play sports. All those people are still poor. Well,

(01:32:31):
Chuck's finally got there. He finally arrives at the truth.
It's been a long time coming, but at least he's there.
This has been obvious for decades. And once again you
see how history repeats itself. You could go back to FDR,
you can go to Johnson, you can go to Obama,
you can go to Clinton. Whatever. History repeats itself. And

(01:32:54):
not to keep beating up on the mainstream news media,
but God knows, they've done enough damage with lying and
they're allowed to get away with it. They're allowed to
get it. I mean, who who checks them? We know
that they're not going to check Biden or Hunter. And
I watched that interview with Hunter Biden and the arrogance

(01:33:16):
of Hunter Biden. That's how you know, is Joe Biden's
son right there? The arrogance, like we remember when Joe
Biden said if you don't vote for me, or if
you vote for Trump, then you ain't black. The arrogance
of that. Think about that, Joe Biden is like the
only person on earth that could get away with saying

(01:33:38):
something like that. That is it's insulting, but beyond that.
It's it's this taking human beings for granted. And what
Rush said in that sound bite was perfect because the
reason everybody attacked Trump when he went into Detroit, I believe,
and he was speaking to that black audience, and he

(01:34:00):
laid out the facts and he broke down the damage
that Democrats have done with so many of their programs
that are not designed to empower and to free the
economic power and resources of communities of color. They're designed
to keep those communities attached and dependent on the government.

(01:34:22):
And when Donald Trump said, what have you got to lose,
all these white woke democrats melted down in the news
media're like, oh, that was so insulting. Well, it was
so insulting about it. What have you got to lose? It?
It was a fact, what did you have to lose? Well,
obviously it worked because more voters of color and more

(01:34:47):
women voted for Donald Trump than any other Republican and
Donald J. Trump got more votes than any incumbent president
in history. Excuse me, I just had to clear my voice.
This is why the left and the news media is
still afraid of Donald Trump. One of the reasons you're

(01:35:12):
not hearing much about the twenty five year old black
man who was a member of the Nation of Islam
and was anti gay, anti Christian, anti America, anti anti
anti He was the man who drove the car into
the capitol earlier this week and killed another law enforcement officer,
or actually over the weekend and killed another law enforcement

(01:35:35):
officer and then got out with a knife and then
he was killed. That one of the reasons you're not
hearing about him is he doesn't fit the narrative. We
all know what the narrative is. I don't need to
be labor it. But it's sad that the lies in
the media and the reinforcement of this faulty narrative can

(01:35:56):
only be exposed on places like the EIB or with
conservative journalists. This is a call back from if you
can have cut eleven standing by Mike. This is a
call from two thousand and seven, and it's so amazing
because this gentleman is also from Indiana, and he also

(01:36:21):
was a member of the Nation of Islam. But listen
to the power of the truth that Rush shares with
this gentleman on the phone. Go ahead, Charles, South Bend, Indiana.
Welcome to the EIB network. So nice to have you
with us? How are you doing good? Okay? I'm a
former Nation of Islam follower to a loyal wrestling ball listener. Wow,

(01:36:41):
that's quite a transition. That you've made a very and
you and you have been the catalyst behind it, believes me.
I mean you, You just don't know how much you
have you have influ muched my life. I mean I
was a former high school dropout, I was homeless, and
all of a sudden I was angry and I started
listening to you around I think was eighty nine. I

(01:37:03):
think you had a call on the the Rita X
oh yes, And I started listening to you around that time.
And and at the time, I was going through some
things and I wanted some answers and at the time
and answer the visionne I provided easy answers to tough
questions and the questions that I really didn't want to
look at it in my life. But listening to you, um,

(01:37:27):
I pretty much spaced those questions in my life head
on and U and my life has been has been
an improvement since I dug a big hole for myself,
but I finally gotten out of the hole. Well, we
all you know what, we all dig holes for ourselves,
and sometimes we fall at them. But there's nothing greater
than getting out of the hole. That's right, great, great,
great sense of achievement. And uh, and you did it yourself.

(01:37:48):
It sounds like that's great, that's terrific news. Yes. And
I also was just wanted to let you know. One
the years ago, you had a commercial uh, and I
wanted to save up money to buy just uh, just
program this thing you had called verbal advantage. And I
remember I started listening to you, and I started writing
down the words that you were saying and going to

(01:38:10):
the dictionary and actually expanding it, trying to expand my vocabulary.
And while I was sooner than I thought, I found
out that I really didn't need the verbal advantage that
you was the verbal advantage. Well, you're you're overwhelming me here.
I don't know what to say thank you. I just
want to tell you that you just don't know how
much you've been You've been influence in my life. I
mean me being a black America. With me, with me

(01:38:32):
telling people that I listened to russellingball Um, I get
all kind of crazy looks and well, you know, what's
what's Wrong's wrong with this? Man. But but russ I rush,
I listened to what you said, I don't hear you.
Most Black America just hear you and they don't listen.
You know. That's that's the difference people. People hear you,
but but they don't really listen. That's actually a good observation.
But that's true about a lot of people, are you know.

(01:38:52):
I'm amazed when I when I meet something like people
down and talk to them, and sit down and talk
to them and so forth. I find a lot of
people are amazed to find out what I hear, how
I listen to them, because most people don't. Most people
too busy thinking about themselves. Most people worrying is what
I'm saying stupid? Or when they're listening to somebody, how

(01:39:13):
do I look, They're looking at me real closely, how
do I look? And they're not even listening, and I
make it a point to listen. I'm always stunted at
how people remark on it, and I think it's true
of a lot of people that they don't listen to.
It brings so much prejudice and biased to things. Plus
the fact that most people are self focused, and it's

(01:39:33):
tough to stop thinking about themselves when other people are
even talking. So that's that's a that's a prescient observation
you've made, Yes, And now I just really want to
make the point also as to why I think Black
America don't look at what Joseph Biden and Hillary Clinton
say as being derogatory because Russ most Black America look
at the sales as victims, and Joseph Biden and Hillary

(01:39:55):
Clinton they've learned to appeal to the weakness of Black America.
When you appeal to the weakness in Black America, we've
been a lot of Black Americas had been condition to
respond to people who appeal to our weaknesses, the things
that are weak within us, instead of appealing to our strengths.
That society was to overcome those weaknesses. Well, it's it's

(01:40:16):
it's true. It's it's much easier if you if your
life is not what you wish it was, it's much
easier to blame somebody else for it, or to be
told that somebody else is responsible for it, ie that
you are a victim. You'd be okay if it weren't
for X, this group or that president or or what
have you. But you know, it's really this is The

(01:40:36):
thing that has always sort of puzzled me, and it
actually offends me the way they pander and look down
to all of their their constituent groups, not just blacks.
They try to create as many victims out of people
as they can, because they basically look at people and
see victims anyway, whether they are or not. They see
people who are incompetent, They see people that are not
capable of doing things, so they ride into the rescue

(01:40:57):
and say, we'll take care of you. The thing it
always amazed me, this Charles, is that for however many
number of years, the black community has been voting ninety
percent for the Democrat presidential candidate, and yet every four years,
whoever the Democrat presidential candidate is keeps talking about how
rotten life is for the American Black community and citing

(01:41:18):
all the statistics. And yet after all these years, the
Democrats have been promising to fix all that and to
help these people find salvation, and yet the same complaints
keep being uttered, the same victims status keeps being cemented,
And you wonder, at what point are some people are
going to wake up and say, these people have been
telling me that things are going to get better for thirty,
forty fifty years and they're not maybe it's time to

(01:41:41):
look at the other guys. Yeah, But the rest the
problem with that, the problem that Black America has is
that if they look at other guys, that they would
have to look at themselves because they start to turn
away from what they believed. Then that that would ultimately
mean that they would have to look at themselves. And
a lot of a lot of people, not only Black Americas,
but black Americans in this instance, do not want to

(01:42:01):
look at themselves to actually question what's been going on
because their whole foundation, the whole way of life, the
whole way of thinking, has been tied to this. So
for them done myself, you know, I had to go
through that process myself, Well, I have to question everything
in my life. Everything in my life has been a
live concerning politics and history and the way I've been taught,
and I have to really reprogram myself. And for Black

(01:42:24):
America to do that, that would have to take place
in order for Black America to actually start to start
to entertain the thought of actually supporting other people. You know,
that's actually great advice for anybody whenever there's a problem
in your life. The first place, if you have any role,
you got to look at yourself. I mean, if you're
gonna be honest about the source of the problem and
you really want to solve it, you have to. You

(01:42:44):
cannot exempt yourself from it and continue to blame everybody else.
And it's it's not until you do that, I don't
care whether you're black, white, you know, Haitian, Hispanics. Until
you're able to do that, you're not really going to
be able to confront whatever it is standing in your way.
And this is what you're saying this music to my years,
it really is. I think thank you much. I mean,
I do want you to know I'm a business owner now,

(01:43:05):
I have a couple of inventions I'm trying to pattern
and uh through conservatives and conservatives man's pretty much open
up those those dark crimsons of my mind. Well, I've
been able to explore and do things that that me
being in a high school dropout and being a form
of homeless. Man, I pretty much thought I would think thing.
I'm doing things now that I thought I would never do. So.
So you have been the catalyst and that and started

(01:43:26):
with you, everything else has started to come together for
me as far as information and reading about people and
just opening up my mind. And I just want to
really want to thank you because because it all started
with you. Well, I appreciate that. How old are you, Charles?
Right now, I'm forty four, forty four. Did you say,
when did you start this path? Yeah, nineteen eighty nine,

(01:43:50):
but it really didn't take holds to about the nineties.
I was still going through some rough times and and
right now, like I said, I have more. I have
a cleaning business and entrepreneur and I'm doing things and
life is just it's just really good. I look forward
to to life and I look forward to to waken
up each day, putting it, having things in my mind,
taking things that that's in my mind to actually conceive

(01:44:12):
into achieving. So that's let me ask you, Charles. Let
me ask you one more question before we have to
go here. And I'm going to go pretty quick because
of the time. But um, I appreciate your thanking me
and saying that this program was the catalyst. But you
do understand, don't you, that you did this? That's right? Yeah,
I know. Okay, So don't be afraid to credit yourself
as the point. Oh yeah, it's not it's not bragging

(01:44:35):
it it's not being selfish, it's it's none of those.
It's not ill mannered. And I'm not talking about walking
around and you know, carrying a placard around the street.
I did. But to yourself, when you talk to yourself,
be honest with yourself. You did what you did. Oh yes,
oh yes. I remind myself of that every day. I
remember myself of that every day. And a lot of
people look at what I do as being as being
conceded and being a separated beata. You're not because you're

(01:44:58):
just confident, and that people are not confident I'm not
sure themselves, are really put off by people who are.
They don't think anybody should be that sure themselves, so
just it makes them nervous. They lash out and blame
you for having a bad attitude or an arrogant attitude,
when it's their own insecurities here that they're causing it.
Don't let that change who we are. Every time we

(01:45:19):
think we've heard a one of the greatest, if not
the greatest phone call between an American calling into Rush Limbaugh,
the EIB team goes and tops it. That was that
should be played. Imagine if that was played in every
classroom in America. We'll be right back on the EIB

(01:45:39):
network and the numbers eight hundred to A two twenty
eight eighty two. I am your guide today, Ken Matthews
on the Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB network. Let's
grab another phone call here, Victor, silver Spring, Maryland High. Victor,
you're on the EIB network. Hey, Ken, I've called your
low will show a couple of times because your signal

(01:46:02):
does get into the People's Republic of Maryland. So I'm
thankful for radio free Harrisburg. What I wanted to call about.
I am really sick and tired of people saying I
can't get a photo. I d I am blind. I
can get one of my friends or my fiance to
take me to the motor vehicle place where I can

(01:46:24):
get a photoied. So what's the big deal? If I
wanted to play the victim card, I could start bitching
about every single thing sided people have done to the
blind since the beginning of time. And the local talk
show host on WML last week asked me, if I
were a Democrat, would I demand reparations? And I said, yeah,

(01:46:46):
I go to the head of the line ahead of
the blacks because I'm blind. Well, thank you for calling Victor.
And it is amazing to me that this photo id
narrative that the left has created is such a lie.
And when you think about the news media, when you
think about academia, think about those two dare I call

(01:47:10):
them institutions, but think about them, okay, think about the
information that comes out of those institutions, the college level
academia and the news media, and how they lean left,
and how if you go through history for years they've
been in bed with the hard left, the communist in
some cases, believe it or not, the Nazis in Europe

(01:47:33):
in the thirties. The effort they put into lying, the
effort that the news media puts into creating a big
lie and then beating you over the head with it.
If they put that same effort into investigative journalism, they

(01:47:54):
and we would be the smartest people on earth. We
would be the most informed people on earth. Imagine if
some of the news media read the Georgia voter bill.
Imagine if they just read it and then shared it
with us instead of trying to scare everybody. Truly amazing.

(01:48:15):
I'm ken Matthews will be right back. Oh no, we won't.
We'll be back after I read this. I know, yes,
I know, I heard sound guys loosen it. Rush spoke
of just one college during the course of this program,
Hillsdale College, and for good reason. And you know what,

(01:48:39):
Rush never forgot like I just did. The learning never
stops at Hillsdale, just like it never stops here on
the Rushallan Bull Show. You can hear Rush's passion for
Hillsdale in his own work. We're fortunate to have higher
level of learning institutions like Hillsdale College. They've made it
their mission. It is so great. A cooper at age

(01:48:59):
fifty wanted to go take some of these Hillsdale courses.
These are courses designed for college students, but they've made
them available to anybody, free of charge, who wants to learn.
It's about the founding of the country, American liberty and freedom.
What's different about American liberty and freedom from elsewhere? The Constitution,
Constitution one oh one. Because Hillsdale has made it their

(01:49:21):
mission to share their appreciation for our freedom for as
long as I can remember. They don't take it for granted.
They know that none of us should, and they do
it in any number of ways, but one in particular
is connecting with a large cross section of this audience. Now,
Hillsdale produces online video series free for you to watch.

(01:49:43):
They just want you to learn or in some cases, relearn,
our nation's history. I mean, think of it. Everybody has
a passion. There's is teaching. They can't get everybody on campus,
not physically possible. But they want people to know what
they They're very proud of what they do at Hillsdale.
They're proud of how they do it, and they want

(01:50:04):
as many people to know it and know about it
as possible. Now, their newest course is called A Great
American Story, a Land of Hope, and it is a
great example the online series they provide to you through
the course of the year. This series ten episodes long.
Each episode's about forty minutes and it tells the story

(01:50:24):
of our nation's history and how we've triumphed through good
times and bad, how we faced adversity found solutions. And
they don't beat the country up. They're not engaged in
America is a failed mistake. America is a bad idea.
Like Biden's current ed is, the underlining theme is the

(01:50:47):
value of freedom and our ability to always come together
to protect and preserve our freedoms when we are under attack.
Hillsdale's professors and administration produce series like this when throughout
the course of the year, and they're all available for
you to watch on demand. Three dozen at all now
thirty six different courses of passion for teaching and a

(01:51:09):
passion for knowledge that comes through in each series. All
