Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show podcast,
and welcome to a very special edition of Open Line Friday.
We have a lot planned on today's program, including the
news of the day, but we also have the pleasure
of welcoming Katherine Limbaugh back to announce the next recipient

(00:22):
of the Great American Business Award. It is wonderful to
be here with you today, ladies and gentlemen. Eight hundred
two eight two to eight eight two is the phone
number to be a part of the conversation on this
Open Line Friday. But as to the Great American Business Award,
this was something that Katherine and Rush started last year
in response to the pandemic and it's impact on small business.

(00:43):
We know so well the backbone of America that small
business represents, and we know equally well how tough it
has been for this past year as these men and
women get up and go to work every single day,
producing for their clients, for their customers, for their families.

(01:07):
And we know that story right so many times, so
many times, it's it's the small business owner. It's the
great American business owner that is out there struggling. Well
after midnight and very very early in the morning. Now,
sadly Rush was not able to see their idea idea
through the fruition, but Catherine is making sure his wish

(01:28):
it's become a reality and we all get to experience
that together today. That is the remarkable nature of this award.
It's it's it's going to be uplifting, motivational, exciting, and
I can't wait to get underway with it. But first
we have to start on a bit of a of
a somber note, as unfortunately we're getting this news that

(01:52):
came through the overnight hours at the FedEx facility near
the Indianapolis airport, as a gunman killed eight people and
wounded several others before apparently taking his own life in
that late night attack at the FedEx facility near the
airport in Indianapolis. Now, details are still forthcoming. There was
a there was a press briefing earlier today, There's not
much still known, or there is much to learn. There

(02:16):
is not much known still about a motive or any
of that sort of stuff. And really it's it's a horrible,
horrible tragedy on so many levels and in so many ways,
and our prayers are with the people of Indianapolis, those
great people in the heartland who who work to make
a company like FedEx work. It's it's I think it's

(02:37):
one of their biggest hubs, one of their biggest facilities
in the entire world. And we will get you update
updated on that story as the program continues to unfold.
As you've been watching in the news, Democrats and Republicans,
and some Democrats and Democrats are splitting on issues like
defunding the police and expanding the Supreme Court. Those are
both subjects we're also going to dig into on today's program,

(02:59):
Law with News from the Border, and cancel culture and censorship.
You know, we actually had a caller yesterday ask about
what being woke really means. It was a sincere question,
what does it mean to be woke? I hear this term,
Where did it come from? How do we how do
we make sense of this? Well, later in the show
you'll hear Barack Obama explain it in his own terms,

(03:22):
along with a heavy metal musician from the eighties who's
got an interesting take on cancel culture. But before we
get into the important issues of the day, you know,
it's so important to understand that Rush had so much
faith in this country and the people who make it work,
extraordinary Americans doing ordinary things. That was his mantra, following passions,

(03:47):
pursuing dreams in the very same way that Rush pursued his,
and taking advantage of the opportunities that being an American
allows every one of us. That was something he championed regularly.
So before we welcome Catherine Linbon the other side of
the break that's going to be coming up here, let's

(04:07):
just listen to Rush, in his own words, describe what
America is all about. We have a burgeoning class system
that people move into and out of various income groups
many times in their lives. And it's all because people
are different. It's all because they have different ambitions and

(04:30):
desires at different times in their lives. Some people don't
discover until they're forty what they love. Some people know
at age twenty what they love, but they have a
job they can't leave for a number of reasons, so
they can't do what they love, and they have to
stay at the job that they hate, and eventually maybe

(04:51):
they get laid off or fire from that job, and
by virtue of necessity, since there's nothing else, they have
to go do what they love and for the first
time in their lives, they're happy at age forty. Maybe
not have anything at the moment, but they love what
they're doing. They finally are doing what they're they're happy
and they're loving it, and they're spending all their time

(05:14):
at it and it may pay off and it may not.
This goes on all the time in this country. The
degree of entrepreneurship and creativity. You can't hold it back.
You can't quantify it, you can't categorize it, you can't
tamp it down. And it's worth our while to try
to get to these people and grab them by their
shoulders and tell them, no, do not lose faith in

(05:36):
your country. It's the biggest mistake in the world you
can make, because while you lose faith in your country,
a bunch of people haven't hurt of the message, are
going to be out there running rings around you. They're
going to be inventing things, creating things. They're going to
be working, they're gonna be happy, they're gonna be doing
things you don't think are possible anymore. Because you're investing
in a guy and they're investing in themselves. And that's

(05:59):
the difference. If you want to invest in a guy,
invest in you. Don't invest in a Barack Obama. Don't
invest in me. Don't invest you invest in yourself. That's
what America allows you to do. America allows you to
love yourself. America allows you to think you're the greatest
thing on earth. America allows you to have confidence in bravado.

(06:20):
America allows you the opportunity to put what you think
is best on trial, then see if it flies. It's
always been what America is about you. Oftentimes, will will
talk to people as you begin to pursue the dream
that you have, right the dream that you have, and
you'll have naysayers all around you. You'll hear them, a guy,

(06:41):
it can't be done. I can't. You can't do that.
That's not going to work. You're you're not, you're crazy.
You just just keep doing what you're doing and collect
that check, and you know, don't don't worry about pursuing that.
The reason why people tell you it can't be done
is because those people that are around you telling you
it can't be done is because they've never done it.
They've never done it. The idea of envisioning a creation,

(07:04):
envisioning a business envisioning that pursuit where you are responsible
for the growth of a tiny germ of an idea
that expands outward, becomes your passion. You're driving force. Think
of all the people who likely thought or thought to

(07:27):
tell or even told Rush along the way, well you can't,
you know, you gotta, you can't do. This is not gonna.
None of this is gonna. And he defies all the
odds to become the greatest broadcaster all time. You think
about that, you think about that passion where you live
and breathe it twenty four to seven, three sixty five.

(07:48):
It's an incredible thing. And and America is such a
special place, and the businesses in America are such special enterprises. Nobody,
nobody knows how this journey ends, but we know where
we want it to begin, and we know where we
want to get to, and this country affords us that opportunity.

(08:11):
It still does. And that's so hugely, hugely important, understand,
And so that that's why it's it's going to be
so wonderful to visit with Catherine Limbaugh in this next
segment and to talk with her about the Great American
Business Award, and to follow this journey around these businesses

(08:32):
that we're going to hear from in this hour, their journeys,
their passions, the risks, and how they achieved, how they achieved.
People always look at success and maybe they covet the
success or, they doubt the success or, any of that
kind of thing. But what's fascinating to me is they
don't see the hard work, the late hours, the missed weekends,

(08:54):
they don't see any of that. They just see the results. Well,
the results come because of how hard it is that
you work, and then you are rewarded, and then you
get to get up and do it for the rest
of your life. If you're blessed. I am Brett whatabole.

I'm Brett Whiterble. Catherine Limbaugh comes by next on the
Russia Limbo Show, and I am Brett Witterball, your guide
host today on the Rush Limbaugh Show. And it is

(11:22):
a real, real treat for me to welcome Catherine Limbaugh
back to the program. Catherine, how are you? It is
so good to talk to you. Hello, Brett, great to
talk to you and everyone as well. I'm doing I'm
doing well, very good. Thank you. You know, I'm aware
that coming up a tomorrow on Saturday is two months

(11:43):
since we lost the most amazing man in all of
our lives, and uh, you know, I just I just
wanted to say how much we obviously miss him, how
much the audience misses him, and how much we're thinking
about you and the family, and and it's it's it's
been an amazing time to see the outpouring of folks
coming to support him. To talk about Rush, you narrated

(12:06):
a very poignant, emotional special tribute to Rush beautiful one
hour program on video that was made available first to
this audience tribute to the Radio's Greatest of All Time, Rush,
Huts and Limbaugh, thank you for doing that. Can you
talk a little bit about how this came together and
where the listeners can watch it? Absolutely? Absolutely, We really

(12:27):
wanted everyone to be able to be a part of
Russia's life beyond the radio and the current times. We
wanted to go back to his early days when he
first started, when he first had the idea of what
he wanted to do, to being a DJ, on to
winning the Medal of Freedom. So we really just took

(12:47):
a look back at his life through the eyes of
his friends and family and people that he worked with,
and it was wonderful. It was great to hear people
commenting on Rush in different ways, talking about his love
of golf, for talking about his career passions, or talking
about everything that he had to do to get to

(13:08):
where he ended up. So it was it was wonderful
and definitely if you haven't seen it, please do. It's
called Radio's Greatest of All Time, which of course is
fitting for him, and it is available at Rush Limbaugh
dot com. We wanted to first air it there so
that all of you could see it first. It is

(13:29):
an amazing journey and so much, so much warmth in it.
It's just it's it's absolutely remarkable. You know when over
the years that I worked with Rush on the show,
you know, his passion for life, for everything was so present,
and to see it translated out by this testimony is
absolutely remarkable. Well, thank you so much. It was. It

(13:51):
was wonderful to do and everybody that was a part
of it really contributed in a significant way. And we
encourage you to see it if you haven't. Absolutely absolutely
you know, one of the areas of this audience that
you and Russia appreciate it are the owners and those
operators of small businesses in this business. And now you know,
in Russia's honor, you've created the Great American Business Award

(14:11):
and you're taking nominations. How's the response been so far,
It's been huge. We've received many, many nominations over these
last weeks. As you mentioned in the beginning, Rush wanted
to start this actually at the start of this year,
but unfortunately couldn't. So he wanted to recognize small businesses
throughout the country that really make our country work. And

(14:36):
so we're continuing it on in his honor. But the
response has been quite overwhelming and wonderful. At the same time,
you know, you're going to be recognizing another business with
an award today, and before we do that, we're going
to speak with a couple of these folks, and I'd
like to bring one of them on right now, if
that's okay with you, Katherine A. John Cartwright is joining

(14:57):
us from Zimmerman Meets in Summer's Old, Missouri. Welcome to
the program. John, good to have you here with Catherine Limbaugh.
Thank you, thank you all for having me on. It's
quite an honor. Hello John, nice speaking to you today.
I know that your your wife, Lindsay, sent in a
nomination on your behalf. So if you could tell us

(15:19):
a little bit about about your business and how you
started and where it's grown over the years, sure, I'd
be happy to. My brother Josh and I purchased Zimmerman
Meets back in two thousand and sixteen and we have
taken the business since twenty sixteen. It was it's a

(15:41):
meat processing business. We had a small retail store in Somersville,
and we we've gone from about twelve to fourteen employees. Um.
Today we've we've done some expansion and we've added some stores,
some retail stores and and uh we're we have three
local patians now, three retail stores plus the processing plant

(16:04):
in Somersville and then about about forty employees is where
we reside today. UM. So that's that's in a nutshell
what we have going. That's great. And why did you
start a small business? I know that you were in
corporate America and decided to to leave that world and
start your own. Why did you do that? When I

(16:28):
was in corporate America, I spent about nine years doing
that and I just felt like it was a job.
I wasn't really making an impact. Uh. And sure I
had I had a job, and I had a role
to to to do every day, but there wasn't to see.
The employees that we employ and the families that we

(16:52):
that we provide a living for is quite rewarding to
Josh and I and our our spouses. We we enjoy that.
In our retail stores are quite unique in that we
were not interested in the in the stuffy, you know,
big big retail type settings. We're all about having a

(17:13):
store that people are It's more of a destination. People
want to come to Zimmerman stores because they're going to
get service with a smile. It's not a dreaded, dreaded
trip to the grocery store. And so that is so
rewarding to be able to see our employees interact with
our customers and do it in a manner that you
don't see in large corporate retail establishments. And we don't

(17:39):
have self checkouts, we don't have stuff like that. We
have friendly spaces that our customers can come in and
see day in and day out. And that's that's quite
rewarding for us. I understand h sir that you were
so inspired by Rush to go out and get a
piece of the pie. That you have four children ages
two to nine, and that the youngest isn't Rush Henry Cartwright.

(18:01):
Is that true? Yes, sir, that that is correct. My
wife and I both are huge Rush fans and and
we're Rush babies growing up and and UH have listened
to him all of our lives and he's had such
a profound impact on our life. And his love for
this country and his listeners was was like none that

(18:22):
I can I can explain. But but the love that
we felt from Rush, just as never knew him personally,
but we knew that he loved his listeners and he
most definitely loved our country. And yes it was to
Our youngest is two years old. We have four children,
and we just named him after after Rush Limbaugh. Amazing, Katherine,
this is an amazing story. Uh good, want to wish

(18:44):
you good luck on this. Uh John stick around. We've
we're going to have the reveal coming up here shortly.
I'm Brett Winterble with Katherine Limbaugh on the EIB Network
and I am thrilled to be here today with Katherine
Limbaugh as we are visiting with some of the great
American Business Award finalists joining us here on the Russia

(19:05):
Limbosch Show. Katherine, we were visiting with John Cartwright from
Zimmerman Meets in Somersville, Missouri when we ran up against
that hard break, and we've held John over on the
program to continue the conversation. Katherine, I know you wanted
to to ask him a question. Yes, John, it's incredible
that you're named your son after Rush, and I know

(19:27):
he's smiling thinking about that right now, but I wanted
to ask you just a little bit more about your
business in terms of how you started and what you
might have encountered in challenges. Because you're right, your wife
wrote a quote that said, I'm so proud of my
husband for not listening to the naysayers that told him
he can't do it. What would you say about the

(19:49):
challenges that you face starting a small business. It's a
big risk, it's a legal I left corporate America and
had a very good wage. I was providing for my family,
and we went from that to essentially we didn't know
it was. It was the world of unknown. So there's

(20:11):
a lot of people that are sitting in corporate America
today that are they're thinking about taking that step. But
it's hard. It's it's very hard. And so when she's
mentioning the nay says, we had a lot of people
in our life that would would have said, no, don't
you know, don't leave a safe job to go on
this journey. But it has been such a blessing to

(20:34):
our families and to our our employees, and and uh
as far as the the problems, and you know, there's
a lot of you know, it's it's not an eight
to five job. You know, where my brother and I
are constantly talking and trying to hone our business. And
it may be a Saturday, a Sunday and Monday whatever.
It maybe early in the morning or late at night.

(20:54):
So you don't ever get to just turn clock out
and leave. And that is that is a challenge, but
it's so rewarding. And having a good a good group
of people behind you as your employees, it just which
we have. We're so thankful for the for the committed
employees that we have and they make our lives a
lot easier. Well, good for you, John, I know that

(21:17):
you're an exact example of what RUSH was looking for
in terms of wanting to honor American small businesses. So wonderful, great, great, Sorry,
I appreciate that. I really appreciate the opportunity to be
on with you all. Like I said, RUSH has been
a lifelong example for my wife and I. Well, thank

(21:39):
you and say hi to your Rush for us. We
will we sure will thank you so much. John. We
appreciate you being there and holding over into this segment. Catherine,
what do you say we check in with our second
our second finalist, this is Julie Welch Oak. Knowel's manner

(22:00):
out of Caledonia, New York. Julie is on the line
with us. Catherine, this is Julie Welch and she started
her business in twenty nineteen by her and her husband.
It's a woman owned business and her husband backed her vision.
Welcome to the show, Julie, Hi, thank you for having me. Hi. Catherine, Hello, Julie.

(22:21):
It's great to talk to you today. We loved your nomination.
So if you could tell us a little bit briefly
about your business and how it started. Absolutely, my husband
and I would drive out on Caledonia Road and I
had to church every Sunday, and there was a beautiful
problem there and we'd always drive by and say, oh

(22:42):
my gosh, if only you know we could own that.
And it came up for sale by owner, and my
husband and I went up and we ended up making
an offer that night, which was crazy because you're working,
could keep me home on a mother before. I would
listen to Rush all the time to tend to just
keep one foot in the door as to what's going

(23:02):
on in the world. And he would simplify it so
that you could understand and keep abreast of the current
events and you know, the trends and politics and all
of it. So my husband about and come home and say,
what did rush you have to see too today? And
we start fuckling and U He would go to work
and I would head out to the barn. It's like

(23:23):
Lowell Barn that was built in the early nineteen hundreds.
There's only forty of them left in our area. They're
caused like a country to people, and it was a
fuckful of stuff. So I would just start cleaning and
I'd have Rush on and often I'd just start laughing
out loud at some of these comments that he would say,
because he was so so humorous and peopless to say.

(23:45):
We knew the venue needed to be shared or the
bar needed to be shared with other people because it
was such an icon, and um, it's stood for something.
It's good for all the hard work that went into
the building of it back in the early nineteen hundreds,
and so became kind of a passion. And my husband
was able to weave one of results. So he would
start working with me on and he kind of had

(24:06):
the business mind. I was more of the vision, but
the two of us kind of fricked and fricked through
the process, and then we ended up turning it into
an event venue and having to go through the codes,
and you know, we wanted to fold it up a
few times because it just seemed too impossible, but we
just kept persevering and rested with a big part of
that perseverance. Good for you. That's wonderful. And now how

(24:29):
many events are you having? Is it is it a
tough time with COVID right now or are you able
to still open up? You know, it's fascinating. A lot
of us moved. Last year, we had five small events
that stayed, but this summer we had twenty events. We
only do one a weekend because we want people to
really enjoy their family and to slow down, because it

(24:51):
feels like this world and just moved so fast, and
it's kind of like back to center, back to enjoying
family and life. And we are booking for twenty twenty
two and we only have five beats available. So it's
fascinating to me that throughout pandemic, people are still holding
out hope and want to live and want to celebrate
the magical moments in their life. Good good. From the

(25:14):
pictures that you sent in, it looks absolutely beautiful. Did
you do a lot of refurbishment of the original land
and the original building one hundred percent. It was falling down.
It was you know, we really took it one step
at a time. I mean, it's such a monster that
you couldn't see the whole vision. And it took a

(25:35):
lot of different people that would come into fix something
or help with something, and then maybe they would have
a vision of hey, you haven't thought about this, and
you know, the next thing you're onto the next little
stepping stone, and it just kind of kept falling, you know,
before us, and we just kept persevering, and it was
not fun doing the foundation, but the best day was
hanging the scandalier. Yeah, I know that you you think

(26:00):
Russia a lot in your nomination here and it's it's
beautiful to see that he provided you such strength and
inspiration and hopefully weekend to others listening today who are
hoping to start a small business or wanting to so
great for you, Thank you, and Russ truly was an inspiration.
And his hearing loss. I you know, our daughter lost

(26:22):
her hearing a score to a virus, just kind of
out of the blue, and it was around the same
time Russia lost just hearing and it was so great
to hear Rush staying on the radio and persevering through
hearing loss and the challenges of learning a couchlear implant.
And she now we're to couchlear implants and she's finishing
her master's degree. But again, Russ, you know, with his perseverance,

(26:44):
gave us strength to go and we can get through
this and we're not going to let us define our daughter.
And she realize that, you know, you can do something
if you stick your mind to it and work hard.
That's really great to hear. How old is she now?
Mary is two years old and finishing her master's degree
at Saint botoment Or University. Oh, good for you. Wow,

(27:09):
it's an amazing story. It's remarkable. Thank you well. Russ
is a big part of it. And one of the
other things that he said, if I have at one
more second, is I remember the day he came on
the radio and he said, to be the best you
can be here what you are. So if you're a homemaker,
will be the best homemaker. If you're a plumber, be
the best plumber you can be. If you're a danitor,
be the best. And honestly, that stuck with me and

(27:31):
every time I felt tired or didn't feel like we
could go on, I thought of those works and it
really stuck and helped my husband and I to persevere.
That is exactly right. He always wanted people to find
their passions and pursue what was right for them, and
in your case, this is a beautiful place. We'll definitely
put it up on the website so people can see

(27:52):
the pictures that I'm looking at. But it's called Oaknoll's
Manner LLC. And that's Julie Welch. Julie, thank you so
much for coming by and being a part of this today. UH,
and best of luck as as we as we work
through our finalists. Thank you for coming by, excellent. Thank
you so much. Katherine, and we all love you and

(28:13):
we love brush. Thank you so much, Julie, God bless
take care of Julie. Uh. Catherine, we have a third,
We have a third UH and and final uh finalist
here H. I think to be fair, we're going to
get a break in here and then come back and
visit with Pattie Klein, who is is with Sittler Golf,
something that's very passionate. Rush was very passionate about golf.

(28:35):
No doubt, and we'll visit with Patti Klein coming up
here next. I am Brett Witterball alongside Katherine Limbaugh as
we are celebrating the best in UH in the Great
American Business Award. We'll be back right after this, and
I am Brett Witterball, your guide host today on the
Rush Limbaugh Show. Happy to be joined by Katherine Limbaugh

(28:59):
as we go through the finalists for the Great American
Business Award. The third finalist that we have, Katherine, it's
so wonderful to be with you today is Patty. Is
Patty Klein from Sittler Golf. And how about this for
a for a beginning line. Patty was first introduced to
Rush while a young twenty seven year old from New
Jersey working for the New Jersey Commission for the Blind

(29:21):
driving a state vehicle that only had AM radio in
the car. Patty Klein, Welcome. Oh, thank you so much
for having me. Katherine, it's such an honor to speak
with you. Rush was such an inspiration for my husband
and I through this journey. Oh wonderful. It's nice to
speak to you as well. Tell us if you could

(29:41):
in a few minutes about how you started your your company.
You know that Rush absolutely loves golf and loved golf.
I know when I first heard that he started playing,
and then his passion for it, it was just amazing
for us. We were like, yes, seasons to golf. This
is a base. But it's funny. My husband and I

(30:03):
met at Kutztown University and moved away, and about ten
years later he met the owner of our property in
Kutztown before he moved to a bigger property, and he
came home one day. We had two little boys and
we were doing very well. He was director of golf

(30:25):
for Marriott and he came home to me and he said,
you know what, to remember that driving range in Kittstown.
I think I want to buy it. And I was like, um, yeah,
I don't remember it, but we'll take a look at it.
And so we thought, we're twenty nine, we're young, and

(30:45):
we you know, I have time to take a risk.
And it turned out to be a wonderful experience for us,
and we're in a great place and a successful business
and we owe a lot of it to Ush's words
of wisdom. The biggest one for me was burning midnight oil.

(31:05):
That's right, it's every time I heard that. I was like, Okay,
we're not alone in this. There's other people staying up
till midnight, um and and beyond exactly. And when you
want to give up, don't because you hear rush in
your ear saying don't give up. That's exactly right. Oh.
There were so many times and we'd wake up the

(31:26):
next morning be like, nope, you know what we need
to we need to move on, and and it was
just nice to hear yes, you can do it. Um.
You know, if you persevere, if you have patience and
faith is a big thing for us, and all of

(31:46):
those and above really helped us to get through all
the highs and loads. So I see in your in
your nomination here that you were nominated by a Golf
Digest is the best hundred club fitters. Hm. Oh that's
crazy yeah, And that really was the um what launched

(32:11):
us to the next level. UM. So, we had a
property in Kritztown which was fourteen acres, and in twenty
eleven we were named one of Golf digests Best one
hundred Fitters. It was their inaugurals award and we've earned

(32:31):
it each year since. And that helped us to purchase
our new property which is now twenty four acres and
the building is three times the size of the building
we had in Kritstown, and we are in the process
of hiring about five more new full time, year round people.

(32:51):
So we're really proud of that. And yeah, just that
really helped us take off. Good for you. Tell us
the name again of your company. It's Sitler Golf. It's
great in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, thinking Spring. Yeah, we used
to be in Kutztown and now it's Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. Well,

(33:16):
a remarkable story, pursuing the passion, burning the midnight oil, Catherine,
that's as she said, that's it's such a huge, huge
part of this. That's right. Yeah. Well, well, Patty and
Rick Kine, we appreciate you joining us here and wish
you good luck and all the best in this pursuit.
And we all know how much Rush loved golf and

(33:38):
just a passion and it's a passion for millions of people.
Thank you for joining us today and good luck. Thank
you so much for having me. Thank you, thank you, Patty,
Um Catherine. Look, we have three beautiful stories. I mean,
these are just absolutely remarkable stories. We have Zimmerman meets
out of Somersville, Missouri. We have Julie Welch's Oak Noll's
Manner LC and Patty and Rick Kline Sittler Golf out

(34:02):
of Pennsylvania. Remarkable stories all yes. And like I say,
we receive thousands of nominations and we've gone through a
lot of them and every story is as remarkable, to
be completely honest, and it's very difficult to choose, but
I know that's what we what we have to do.
So we we have picked a winner for this week,

(34:25):
which will be the second Rush Limbaugh Great American Business Award,
and that recipient will be receiving won the award, but
also twenty five thousand dollars grants. And I just wanted
to briefly explain that again that Rush set aside of
funds specifically for this award, so there are going to

(34:46):
be additional recipients and each will receive twenty five thousand
dollars from Rush that he set aside early in the year. Fantastic.
That is. That is remarkable and it's really demonstrated the
commitment he had to that super huge important endeavor that
being the great American business out here. So do we

(35:08):
have a winner yes, we do so. Today for this
second Rush Limbaugh Great American Business Award recipient, it will
be John and Lindsay Cartwright of Zimmerman Meets, who we
spoke to first today. A compelling story of family business
and it is proof, Katherine, that your dreams can come

(35:31):
true if you just are willing to pursue him and
put in the hard work. That's absolutely right. Congratulations John
and Lindsay, and thank you Lindsay for nominating your husband
and telling us your story. And I'm sure it's inspired
a lot of others listening. And thank you so much
for allowing me to participate with you today, Catherine, on
this very special endeavors. It's the highlight of my week

(35:53):
and month to get to spend time with you making
these dreams come true for these hard working businessmen and women. Oh,
thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be here. Likewise,
I appreciate you have a wonderful weekend. I look forward
to getting back together with you again soon. Thank you
you all as well, have a great weekend you as well, Catherine.
The Catherine Limbaugh ladies and gentlemen plenty more straight ahead,

(36:14):
so happy to see these dreams getting getting to come true.
I'm Brett Witterbale, I the EIB Net. I am Brett Witterball.
It is the EIB Network. Don't forget to go to
RuSHA Limba dot com and watch that tribute video. Thanks
again to Catherine Limbaugh for spending this time with us
today on the show Our two Straight Ahead. I'm Brett
witterbal it is the EIB Network. It's incredible to see

(36:38):
this explosion of violence that is sweeping across the country
and specifically in America's cities, really from coast to coast,
from from New York City all the way out to
Los Angeles and in Chicago and in Minneapolis. We see
it heartbreakingly. Overnight in Indianapolis what appears to be some

(37:00):
sort of a random series of shootings at the FedEx
facility near the Indianapolis Airport as a gunman is still
They're still trying to identify who the gunman was, what
the motivation was. It appears it was random. What does
all this add up to see? You see murders taking
place at one hundred and eighty seven percent increase out
in Los Angeles. You see mayhem and crime at every turn,

(37:25):
and build a Blasio and Andrew Cuomo's New York and
in Chicago, the heartbreaking story of a thirteen year old
boy who was accompanying a felon in possession of a firearm,
a twenty one year old man on the streets of
Chicago at two thirty in the morning, only to lose
his life at the hands of a police officer in
a pursuit. When this young man through the gun, it

(37:51):
was visible. The officers shot and took a life of
a child. What does this all come from? Where does
this all come from? This is not random. This is
a breakdown in a respect for law and order. And
I don't necessarily mean a respect for law enforcement, but

(38:12):
that's a huge component of this, but just the notion
that the law should apply to everybody. You don't have
the right to take a firearm in some place and
shoot up a facility at FedEx. You don't have a
right as a thirteen year old to be running the
streets of Chicago at two thirty in the morning with
somebody who is a felon in possession of a gun.

(38:33):
You don't have a right to conduct murder on the
streets of Los Angeles or attempted murder. Remember Lady Gaga's
dog Walker. This is this is a combination of some
of the worst in society coming together. And what that
is is the coursening of the culture. Has been present

(38:53):
for a hundred years, the idea that human life becomes
cheapened year after year. But it's about the fraying of
respect for law and order and in exchange trading it
for going soft on criminals and encouraging, in some cases,
as some politicians are encouraging disorder on the streets and

(39:16):
in our communities. The sad reality is America. America is
in a place right now, ravaged by the pandemic, lockdowns,
desperation setting in a government subsidizing workers not to work,

(39:36):
businesses can't find qualified workers. I mean it is. It
is a toxic soup the likes of which we haven't
seen since the Malays of the nineteen seventies and the
late days of the nineteen sixties. Chaos seems to rule
the day. You know, Lori Lightfoot sat on this video

(39:58):
for a number of days of Adam to Ato's fatal
shooting by a police officer in Chicago, and it's not
lost on me that this person, Lori Lightfoot, who is
the mayor of Chicago and has absolutely no control in
the streets of Chicago, has hamstrung the police, has used
organizations like the ACLU to make policing more difficult. Continues

(40:20):
to blame neighboring states like Indiana for allowing all the
guns to pour into Chicago. The guns are pouring into
Chicago because criminals are getting guns in Chicago buy in large.
What what do people expect is going to happen when
you surrender your great American cities to Mayhem? What do

(40:43):
they think is going to happen? Defund, Defund the police,
abolish the police. In another world, that's called appeasement. It's
literally appeasement. It's saying, if we give in to those
who want to bring about chaos and destruction on the

(41:04):
streets of our cities, that will make them like us more.
It will not the old notion of just keep throwing
somebody out of the boat to feed the alligators. Well,
eventually you're going to run out of people to throw
out of the boat to appease the alligators, and the
alligators are gonna come after you. The alligators are coming
after all of us. And it doesn't matter where you live.

(41:27):
It doesn't matter if you're in a city or if
you're in a suburb. America has become an increasingly desperate
place as people are denied employment, as people are forced
into lockdowns, or children or denied education in schools in
California and on the West Coast. That desperation fuels and

(41:51):
decay in societal norms that are almost impossible to get back.
How crazy is this? Bernie Sanders has broken with the
Squad on defunding the police. The Squad wants to defund
the police. AOC wants to defund the police. Rashida Talib
wants to defund the police. Alan Omar wants to defund
the police. Bernie Sanders is breaking with the squad on

(42:11):
that one. I mean he is the king progressive of
them all in the Senate, broke with his left wing
proteges over their calls to defund the police in the
wake of the killing of Dante Wright. Speaking to CNN
on Wednesday, Sanders said he did not agree with Rashida
Talib over her call for no more policing, incarceration, and militarization.
He said, I don't agree with that. I think what

(42:35):
needs what we need to do is to understand that
there needs to be a major, major police reform across
the country. We're tired of seeing the same thing week
after week, year after year. We do not want to
see innocent African Americans shot in cold blood. Well that
is happening in Chicago on any given Saturday night now,
and defunding the police will not make them safer, will
not make anybody safer. It'll only make the criminals more bold,

(42:58):
in the way that the border will make human traffickers
and smugglers and modern day slavers more bold. To do
that Rush understood what was going on against the backdrop
of these riots, he said, these riots are an offshoot
of the Democrat Party. This the police chief Cassandra deck Brown,

(43:19):
that's hyphenated deck Brown, speaking about violence and looting in
the city. A building, a window, a door, the property
within it can easily be replaced. But for a person
who's had officers shot and more recently than not, I
will not put an officer in harm's way to protect

(43:42):
the property inside of a building. Well, excuse me, isn't
that what the cops do? She said? A building, a window,
a door, the property in it can easily be replaced.
I'm not gonna worry about it. But for a person
who's had officers shot more recently than I will not
put an officer in harm's way to protect the property

(44:02):
inside a building. Guess what that is an invitation to
That's what the police are for. This is the same
thing that Democrats were saying to enforce the lockdown, it
was worth shutting down the economy if it only saved
one life. I'm not going I'm not going to deploy
one coup. If the purpose is to save stuff inside

(44:24):
of building. You know, let your insurance company get hold
of that, find out what happens to your insurance rates
if that becomes city policy. But you know, this is
not the only odd thing coming out of North Carolina.
Earlier today, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Services secretary was asked a question she was worried about

(44:50):
seeing COVID nineteen spreading because of all the protesters out
there in large groups, and the North Carolina Department Health
and Human Services secretary said, no, no, these people have
a right to have their voices heard, and most of
them are wearing masks. So if I understand this, it's

(45:12):
okay for people to protest in large groups. But for
months we were told by the same kind of person
health and Human Services secretaries. We were told that it
was too dangerous for small businesses and restaurants in churches
to open up due to the high risk. No no,

(45:33):
no, no no no, you can't open your church. No no,
no, no no no. You cannot open your restaurant. No no no, no, no,
no no no, you cannot open your business. Too risky,
too dangerous. You could inadvertently or purposely, and I'm spreading
a second wave of the virus. But now she's not
worried about COVID nineteen spreading because of protesters, because those

(45:55):
people have a right to have their voices heard. They
have the protesters have a right to be heard. You
don't have a right to open your church. You don't
have a right to open your business. You don't have
a right to open your restaurant. Stop and think about that.
Isn't it incredible to consider how efficient government has been

(46:16):
Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, Andrew Cuomo in New York, build
a Blasio in New York, how efficient government is when
it comes to sending in the SWAT team to shut
your business down. We've seen as a Tinhorn flats out
in Burbank, they've had they've had a wire wrapped around
their building and blockages to their driveways because they were
trying to sell food to people. If only, if only,

(46:39):
if only these communities could rely on the health enforcers
who come in and shut businesses down to go in
and handle the riots, we might actually have a result.
Can you imagine, I mean, my gosh, Gretchen Wimmer was
able to deploy all kinds of health code officials and
judges to go and shut down businesses in Michigan. And
we've seen it in New York, seen it in California,

(47:01):
and we've seen it in a lot of these places.
What we need to do if you want to stop
the riots on the streets and restore order is just
declare not a public riot. Declare a health code violation,
Declare it a maximum occupancy violation. They'll send in those
health inspectors with their ticket books, and though they'll be
shutting down riots left and right, Anti File will be

(47:23):
running for the hills. I guarantee it they will. It
is open line Friday on the Russia. Limbos show our
phone umber to be a part of the conversation is
eight hundred two eight to two eight eight. To checkout
Rush Limbaugh dot com for all the latest and greatest
information out there on Brett Witterboll. Another great segment straight
ahead on the EIB Network. Brett Witterboll your guide host

(47:45):
on the Russia Limbos Show and the EIB Network. In
moments we'll talk about court packing. But it is open
line Friday, and want to utter that promise. Let's check
in with Verne in Iowa. Welcome to the program. Vern
Thank you, sir Brett. You're doing a wonderful job for
the famous Rush slim Bob. Thank you for everything I
wanted to command on. You had just mentioned the breakdown

(48:08):
of respect for law enforcement. You correct, But let's not
forget about the breakdown of the family nucleus. For years,
the government has been paying women to have babies and
get paid more money. Where is both family members or

(48:31):
both parents. That's a huge problem in our country. It's
it's it's true. Look, the breakdown of the family is
an enormously devastating reality. In fact, I heard I think
it was Ken yesterday playing a clip from Rush on
that on that very point the fact that you're going
to keep redefining and taking apart the family and eventually

(48:52):
you end up with just absolute chaos, because the family
is the first structure that teaches you struck sure right.
You learn about respect, You learn about people who are
are going to be the people who protect you, but
who also show you the rules of the road for life.
What we have done in our culture is basically turned

(49:13):
it into a self raising of society where children grow
up and end up being thrown out into the streets
or or running in the streets, or whatever it is.
I don't mean to sound like I get off my lawn,
old oldifogi, but the fact is children cannot raise themselves,
and the idea that we've taken kids out of school
for the last year is going to be devastating. My
wife is a teacher. I love my wife. I love

(49:36):
what teachers do. I don't love teachers unions, but my
wife is a teacher, and she has said to me
repeatedly this damage for the year that these kids have
been out of school. It's going to take them forever
to come back. It's going to take forever to get
those skill sets back to discipline, to sit in the
classroom back. And that's that's sort of the point. Fun
And I appreciate the calling your kind words, because what
is the purpose of this exercise that's happening with this

(49:57):
court packing conversation. It's about redefined society. Right, we can
redefine the court, we can redefine the family. We can
read about Heck, did you hear yesterday Nadler and Jones
and Hank Johnson and Ed Markey saying that the Roberts
Court is this right wing machine? Are you kidding me?

(50:18):
He protected He protected Obamacare on the slimmest of margins
and redefine marriage. Tell me again about this right wing court. Look.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and looking at this
court packing situation, said this about the Supreme Court. Nine
seems to be a good number. And what's been that

(50:38):
way for a long time. I think that was a
bad idea. When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack
the court, it was a bad idea. In fact, his
party was I rate about that decision. Here's what Rush
had to say about the Democrats redefining the packing of
the courts. Dick Turbine and a number of other Democrats

(51:01):
are out saying that Joe Biden's not talking about packing
the court. It's a republican's packing the court. You know
what they say packing the court. Packing the court is
filling openings with your people. That's not what packing the court.
They're literally trying to make the case that Republicans ought
to be appointing. Like if if Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg was

(51:24):
a Democrat, then Trump should nominate a Democrat. And if
he doesn't, if he nominates a conservative like Amy Coney Barrett,
that he's packing the court. That's not what packing the
court is. They better not get away with this. That
would require genuine ignorance stupidity on the party American people.
Packing the court means adding seats to it that don't exist.

(51:48):
Supreme Court now has nine seats. Democrats want to add four,
making the Supreme Court a thirteen justice. Buddy, that's packing
the court. They're literally out trying to say the other
They're trying to make the case that packing the court
is simply filling every opening with someone from your party.

(52:10):
What's incredible about this? You know, thirteen is an interesting
number on a lot of different levels. But the idea
that you're going to come in. Just think about this
from a structural standpoint. Say they were able to get
rid of the filibuster, which is the first step. Right,
they first have to get rid of the filibuster. Unlikely,
But let's just follow the possibility here. First they want

(52:31):
to get rid of the filibuster. Then they proceed to
expanding the court. Right, they say, we're going to add
four justices. Think of the circus that a traditional Supreme
Court confirmation hearing looks like. I mean, the last one
we saw with Amy Coney Barrett was unusual because of
the pandemic. You didn't have the people standing up and

(52:52):
screeching and screaming and throwing fits during the hearings because
you didn't have people in the hearing room. Think back
to Brett Kavanaugh, Think back to Clarence Thomas, Think back
to Bork who was borked. But you think about that
under a conventional set of circumstances. Now imagine trying to
load four justices up under the court at the same time.

(53:18):
Nancy Pelosi understands what a fool's errand this is It's
why when she was asked yesterday she said directly Yeah,
I'm over here trying to do infrastructure and stuff, and
you guys are talking about this. She can't control Jerry Nadler.
She can't control Jerry Nadler or Hank Johnson. She can't

(53:39):
control the newest member of the Congress there, monday Er
Jones from New York. She can't control any of this,
and she's got to be going out of her mind
realizing the monster she has created. As somebody much smarter
than I noted earlier today, consider what would happen if

(53:59):
you had had a Democrat senator suddenly pass away. As
a hypothetical, and I don't wish anybody any ill, but
imagine you had a Democrats senator pass away. It's fifty
fifty right now. Imagine if that happened in a Republican
governor in that state appointed a Republican to the seat.

(54:21):
You would now have Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Biden is
facing a tremendous uphill fight here, and he's got these
people running around talking about court packing. You want to
have thirteen justices. That means you get four confirmations happening,
and by getting rid of the filibuster, guess what you've
set up for the future. Four more justices from the Republicans,

(54:41):
and it just escalates and it becomes, as many smart
scholars have said, it just becomes a proliferated situation where
you've got the you've got a mess on your hands.
Thirteen Supreme Court justices. Thirteen's an interesting number. You know
what you need thirteen for a coven of which is
really a coven of which is it's thirteen. But this

(55:02):
is just absolutely absurd to think that because you have
an election and you've got a tide Senate with a
tiebreaker in the Vice President, you're gonna go make a
run for thirteen Supreme Court justices. Please, And still the
border is suffering, and still our enemies are scheming, and

(55:23):
the Democrats so out of touch are trying to change
the subject. Yeah, I mean that one wonderful to be
here today on this sub beautiful day on the Rush
Limboss Show drive by caller calling me out on my
coven reference says, says, thirteen's not the number. It's five. No, no, no,
A union coven is thirteen. I checked the book. A

(55:44):
union coven is thirteen. But here's here's the thing about
court packing. To get back to the original issue. The
idea of court packing is about trying to assume control
over another branch of government by essentially the the executive branch.
This is what Joe Biden would be trying to do.
It would be accomplished by the legislative body doing this,

(56:08):
but it would be handed over to the president because
from here on out, if you get rid of that filibus,
so the president can direct his party in the Senate
to continue to expand the Court until it just becomes
yet another super legislature, which is a big mistake. It's
a huge mistake. This is the great failing by the
way of what you had during the FDR years. It

(56:30):
was only during Franklin Roosevelt that in terms of the culture,
the broader American culture, that somehow the Supreme Court became
elevated to the most important branch. Like, what's the most
important branch of government? Seriously, what do you think the
most important branch of government is? Some people would say
the presidency, some people would say the legislative branch, and

(56:53):
others would say the Supreme Court. You know, the Supreme
Court makes a decision. You write a bill, the Supreme
Court decides whether or not that's a legitimate bill, and
and and it's a law that should be followed. And
they get to strike it down, sure, sure they do.
I mean, but there's remedies back the other way. In fact,
you know, Mark Levin's written books about this kind of stuff.
But the reality is, when you look at this situation
that we're talking about here, really, which which branches mentioned

(57:20):
first in the in the constitution? That should answer your question.
But we've been conditioned to think the Supreme Court's the
final word on everything. Really, what the Supreme Court existed
to be was essentially a referee between the states, or
a referee between the executive and the legislative branch. But instead,
you know, the great worshippers of the Court, of the

(57:40):
of the unelected black robists, they are they are the
people who tell you the Supreme Court's the most important branch.
It's nonsense. It's nonsense. Rush talked about the filling of vacancies,
and he really did a great job clarifying the notion
that when Donald Trump was appointing people to the court,

(58:06):
it was not packing the court. It's further clarification on
this point. Go I again ran across a story this
morning about how Biden is blaming Trump for packing the court.
Biden's actually saying it on the campaign trail. He's even
putting it in ads that Trump is packing the court.
Trump is not packing the court. But remember who we're

(58:28):
dealing with. We're dealing with mind numbed robots that are
also Democrat voters who have a predisposition to having Donald Trump.
So if they hear that, first they hear packing the court,
packing the court, packing the court bad, bad bad, Packing

(58:49):
the court not good, Packing the court bad bad. Then
they hear Trump's doing it. Trump is not packing the court.
Trump is filling vacancies on the court. Look, for all
of you who are listening to this program, this is
a key point. It's a very simple point. This is
a very simple way that you can make a difference

(59:11):
beyond voting by being armed with this. Donald Trump is
not packing the court. He is filling vacancies on the
court brought about by the retirements or deaths of sitting justices.
When Trump finishes, there will be nine justices on the court,
just as they were, just as there were before Democrat

(59:34):
justices began to either retire or pass away. Packing the
court is what Biden is going to do, and he
won't admit to it. Packing the court is adding seats
to the court from your own party. Packing the court
is putting politically sympathetic judges on the court. And after

(59:57):
you have succeeded, if you do in packing court, then
you're going to have thirteen seats, thirteen justices, not nine.
That's what Biden wants to do. It's not what Trump
is doing. Look, this is why court packing, why Biden's
trying to make such a big deal. How Trump is

(01:00:18):
to court packing is so big of an issue because
this is when the Democrats get control. If they win
this election, they're going to pack the Supreme Court with
thirteen seats, are going to add four. You'll do away
with all of the limits on the government that are
in the Constitution. That's what a thirteen seat court will do.

(01:00:41):
They'll wipe out the Second Amendment, They'll wipe out the
free speech clause of the First. This is their plan.
This is not speculation. Let's go out of the phones
and talk to Dylan, who's right in line with what
you just heard from Rush Dylan from Buffalo Gap South
to Koda. Welcome to the program, Sir, Hey thanks Brett Man,

(01:01:04):
Megan Diddles, it's great to be on here. Thank you, sir.
I'll get to it. Um. I always think about Rush
Limbaugh's mental exercise with the minimum wage. You know, a
fifteen is good? Why not twenty five? Why not fifty? Right?
And it's funny in my mind it probably could be
applied here, you know, I mean, if they why not too,
you know, but the opposite direction, why not eight? Why

(01:01:26):
not twelve? Why not? Really? I mean, go with it?
I mean yeah, and I think that, I mean, obviously,
I think there's an answer. You know, they can't, could
never pass eight. But you know, I mean, if you're
gonna if you're gonna go, why not swing the defenses? Sure? Okay,
So so let me ask you one question because it
will help me get get to the answer for you. Ready,
if you were to describe America today, if you were

(01:01:48):
to describe America today, you know, sixty, forty fifty, fifty,
forty sixty, whatever you want in terms of the division
in politics, what would you say the division in America
is today? Oh gosh, it's got to be knocking on
the door. Fifty fifty Okay, it's a fair point, right, right,
I mean, we could even maybe say Dylan, it's fifty fifty.

(01:02:11):
Maybe maybe we'll say it's a fifty fifty two forty eight,
say democrat, right, because you got all these big cities. Okay,
so we could like because remember they want to get
rid of the electoral college, which is a whole other conversation.
But the reason why they're saying four not two is
you nailed it. They're trying to appear reasonable. Here's what
they're saying. They're saying, we have a court right now

(01:02:33):
that is six three. Right, you got nine justices. Six
are quote conservatives, three are Democrats or liberal justices. Okay,
so what they're saying is all we want to do
is add four to the three so it becomes a
seven six court, which is really what America is. We're
seven six, or we're we're fifty five forty five democrat.

(01:02:58):
Everybody knows we're morecrat then republican as a country. That's
that's their thinking. So they're trying they think that four
is a reasonable argument because the court then goes seven six. Yeah, yeah,
I think you're exactly right. I mean, I agree with Yeah,
that's crazy. You know, they got to get something they

(01:03:19):
can pass. They do, they do, So they're gonna try
to come off as reasonable in that regard. Dylan, a
great call, have a wonderful weekend, and call back again.
You're you're you're a spot on caller. And that's that's
what this comes down to. That's what this comes down to,
because you're going to have these activists go out and
if you listened to the activists yesterday pressing this case, um,

(01:03:40):
you didn't really have like the screaming and the yelling.
Remember when when we saw Chuck Schumer yelling on the
steps of the Supreme Court about you listen to me,
Gorsage and Kavanaugh, you're gonna reap the whirlwind. And then
they got he got kind of in trouble. Remember John
Roberts wrote a letter saying, basically, don't threaten the justices
of the Supreme Court. Chuck, it's wrong with you on
this abortion issue. So they know that that doesn't sell.

(01:04:03):
What sells is it's so unfair because Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris, they were already counting the votes and Donald
Trump stole Amy Coney Barrett and everybody knows that Bret
Camanaugh was you know what Bret Kalena was. I mean,
my gosh, we have to go down that list again.
And that's that's how they're selling it. They're trying to
be really reasonable in air quotes, but they're not being reasonable.

(01:04:25):
They're being incredibly unreasonable because they think they can go
out there and scoop up four justices. They can't even
secure the capital. They can't even like it's still covered
in razor wire. How how are you going to have hearings.
We're barely getting to a speech from Joe Biden as
president to a joint session of Congress. How do they
think they're gonna pull this off? It's it sounds crazy today,

(01:04:48):
but in five years, as they build momentum behind it,
it'll seem increasingly reasonable. And that's how they're going to
ultimately end up selling this story. We'll take your phone
calls straight. It had eight hundred two A two two
eight A two. It is open line Friday. I am
Brett Witterville, your guide on the EIB network. So right
alongside law and order, right alongside the notions of court

(01:05:13):
packing and changing the rules of the game, we have
what is likely the great crisis of our time, and
it is a fully open, insecure border along the frontier
with Mexico, as human traffickers and smugglers cartels are in
an ascendant time in our in our country able to

(01:05:34):
fully exploit what it is that's going on down at
the border. Kamala Harris apparently just doesn't see this as
a as as a as a priority mission. This is
not like a top five issue for her. She's more
concerned with well selling the infrastructure deal. She actually is

(01:05:57):
kind of curious. It's actually kind of curious, but let's
check this little piece audio out. Kamala Harris doesn't care
about kids suffering in border facilities. These are issues that
are not going to be addressed overnight. In terms of
the root causes issue, a large part of our focus
is diplomatic in terms of what we can do. We

(01:06:18):
have plans in the work to go to Guatemala as
soon as possible, given all of the restrictions in terms
of COVID and things of that nature. We must address
the symptoms and that is what is happening with the
team of folks who are working on the border, led
by Alley Myarchis. But we also have to deal with
the root causes otherwise we are just in a perpetual

(01:06:39):
system of only dealing with the symptoms. Vice President Harris
knows what the root causes are of the migration coming
up through the border. Well, she knew back in twenty eighteen.
Remember what it was in twenty eighteen. People were fleeing persecution.
People are afraid of being persecuted, and that there's violence
and there's danger down in the Triangle countries and Elsa,

(01:07:00):
or in Guatemala and of course Nicaragua. It's dangerous. Honduras.
It's dangerous that people are coming up because it's dangerous,
it's there's persecution and all that sort of stuff. You
ever noticed that people aren't emigrating in mass from Belize?
Why not from Belize? It's right there next to Mexico
and adjacent to Guatemala. Well, nobody's coming up from Belize.

(01:07:21):
Somebody should look into that. But the root causes money.
The root causes money. The root causes well money, And
we know that's the root cause because people are coming
up here making that dangerous trek because they know a
the border is open, and b once you get across
the border, you're home scot free and you can get
a job and work under the table. And if you

(01:07:42):
live in New York or California or any other number
of these jurisdictions, guess what you get. You get the
hook up. You're going to get COVID money fifteen thousand
dollars in New York State going to the going to
the folks who who are in the state illegally in
the United States, illegally living in New York State. Homeless
vets can't get that money. But people who made as

(01:08:02):
their first order of business breaking into the country, they
get that money. I understand this, but this is a
dodge by Vice President Harris. What We're gonna have to
look at the root causes. And I am planning on
going to Guatemala. Well, the Biden administration and Alejandro Maorcis,
they've been working a whole other angle. Roberta Jacobson, who's
now suddenly disappeared, she used to be on TV constantly.
She was the Border's art. Roberta Jacobson says, we're gonna

(01:08:24):
pay these Central American governments fifteen thousand dollars per head
to keep these folks at home. That really, that's that's
one of the proposals. You understand what President Biden and
Vice President Harris are doing. They're essentially offering the Central
American countries the Iranian nuclear deal. We're gonna pay you
a stack of cash. Don't proliferate migrants up to the

(01:08:46):
United States border, and if you do, we'll send you
more cash. I mean, at least when you're gonna get
when you're gonna get shaken down, when you're gonna get extorted.
You gotta wait for the actual extortion offer to happen.
You don't, or the threat to happen. You don't, just entarily,
so I'll pay you money if you can control your borders. Thanks.
This is what's so frustrating. That's why governors are getting involved.

(01:09:09):
Greg is in Hurly, South Dakota. Greg, you want to
talk about Christy Nome. Welcome to the program, Hello, Greg,
Greg going once, Greg going twice. Greg wanted to say
that Christy Nome said, South Dakota won't take any of
the illegal migrant kids or the children's that the children

(01:09:30):
that are refugees. You're seeing this form across the across
the spectrum in the country. You're seeing this with a
number of governors, by the way. Henry McMaster in South
Carolina went to the South Carolina foster homes and said,
if you are taking in refugee children ahead of American children,

(01:09:53):
we are going to punish you. We're going to pull
your licensure. Isn't an interesting back during the evil Trump days,
right yet? Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer and jab Pritzker
and Phil Murphy and Jersey and Andrew Cuomo, and remember
what they called they were the resistance. They were the resistance.
I guess Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are discovering the

(01:10:16):
counter resistance, the groups of governors who don't want to
play ball in this way, not in a pandemic. They don't.
Joe is in Modesto, California, wants to talk about the
law and order issue. Joe, welcome to the Russia, Lambasha him.
Thank you for taking over for Rush. Keep up the
strong words. Well, I'm anag your tour guide today, so

(01:10:38):
thank you very much for your kind words and what's
on your mind today, sir, Well, my sister is shut
up out of Fort Michigan. She's retired, and she used
to tell me things like there is a total blackout
amongst the police officers. Talking about the fact that there
are more fully automatic weapons being imported from Mexico into

(01:11:03):
America two criminals. Only they don't sell them the regular
people because regular people buying look alike a R fifteenth
that shoot, pull the trigger one time, psyche weapon and
they have a total blackout on anything. No news will
ever talk about. Somebody died with twenty seven bullet holes

(01:11:24):
in them that came from an automatic weapon, but they
don't talk about that. Well, here's the problem, and I
appreciate your call, and I honor your sister's service as
a retired police officer. Here's the challenge, and I'll just
I'll give it to you straight and quickly. Remember it
was the Obama Biden administration that under Eric Holder, sent
three thousand guns to the cartels in Mexico, specifically the

(01:11:46):
Sinaloa cartel in Mexico Operation Fast and Furious, in an
effort to try to jack up American gun stores. And
it was the Obama Biden administration that sent those guns
into the border that led to the murder of an
American border agent in Arizona at the hands of one
of the cartel gunmen. And I gotta say it is

(01:12:08):
one of the most heartbreaking stories of the last decade
that that went unpunished. I'm not surprised that criminals are
getting their hands on illegal firearms. It's because they're criminals
and we're not enforcing the laws. Brett witterbill in on

of room for your calls. Eight hundred two A two
to eight A two coming up in the beginning of
this next hour. Nebraska a sanctuary state. I'll have details.
I'll bet it is wonderful to be here on this

(01:13:11):

your tour guide today and I want to invite you
to be a part of the conversation at eight hundred
two eight two two eight eight two, and of course
always checkout rush limba dot com for all the latest
and best information. This piece of information I find to
be particularly fascinating. On Wednesday, Governor Pete Ricketts, he is

(01:13:35):
a Republican from Nebraska, declared Nebraska a Second Amendment sanctuary state.
Oh boy. The state level action comes after passage of
Second Amendment sanctuary status in a number of Nebraska counties.
This according to WOWT, they highlight the proclamations warning quote.

(01:14:02):
The White House in US Congress have announced their intention
to pursue measures that would infringe on the right to
keep and bear arms. As a result, Nebraska will stand
up against federal overreach and attempts to regulate gun ownership
and use in the good life. Ricketts in fact posted

(01:14:23):
a video to this effect speaking about this This is
an issue that is sweeping the nation. Back on April seventh,
Breitbart reported that Governor Doug Doocey of Arizona signed legislation
prohibiting the in state enforcement of federal gun control laws
that infringe on the Second Amendment. What we're starting to

(01:14:46):
see here is a real ground swell of activism at
the state level. Think about the fight you've just watched
play out regarding the Georgia election bill, right that we've
been hold what fifty sixty thousand times, that it's the
return of Jim Crow. You saw activism at state legislatures

(01:15:08):
just in these last weeks one hundred days in essentially
to the Biden administration that is absolutely groundbreaking. We mentioned
Christy Nome last hour, the governor of South Dakota saying essentially,
we're not going to be taking these migrant children into
our facilities. McMaster in South Carolina saying the same sort

(01:15:29):
of thing, warning foster homes that they will lose certification
if they bring in migrant children over American children that
require foster care. You've seen Georgia, You've seen in Pennsylvania
even they've purged the ballot rolls of those hundred and
fifty year old voters that were registered in the last
presidential election. You're starting to see a real groundswell of

(01:15:52):
activism taking place. But let's not go too far afield here.
I think it's tremendous to see this amount of activism,
especially the state legislatures, because you want to talk about
the grouping of legislators that are closest to the people
in this country, it's your state legislators that is that
is getting downright granular, which is outstanding to see their

(01:16:14):
desire to protect the franchise of the Bill of Rights
on the state level. But let's not forget this. It's
not always a big winning time. Rush talked about Andrew
the Pious Andrew Cuomo on guns. Let's go to the
Andrew Cuomo sound bites. Andrew the Governor, Mario the Pious,

(01:16:39):
the Governor of New York State of the State speech
yesterday in Albany, and we got three sound bites and
this was like a Fidel Castro speech. I mean it
just went on and on and on, and he was
speaking when this show was on yesterday, but he didn't

(01:17:01):
get any of the good stuff until after this show ended.
We have three examples. We respect hunters and sportsmen. This
is not taking away people's guns. I own a gun,
I own a Remington shotgun, I've hunted, I've shot. That's
not what this is about. It is about ending the
unnecessary risk of high capacity assault rifles. That's what this

(01:17:28):
is about Oh, oh okay, that's what it's about, ending
the unnecessary risk of high capacity assault rifles. That's not
what was used at Sandy Hook, though, was it. The
Bushmaster is not a high capacity assault rifle. That's a
single shot, isn't it. I could be mistaken. I'll have

(01:17:54):
to double check. But anyway, it's not. See, it's not
about taking away your guns. It's he loves hunters, he
loves sportsmen. He owns a gun. He's got a Remington shotgun.
He's hunted, he's shot. That's not what this is about.
It's about any of the unnecessary risk of high capacity
assault rifles. I know that the issue of gun control

(01:18:15):
is hard. I know it's political. I know it's controversial.
But we are proposing today common sense measures, and I
say to you, forget the extremists. It's simple. No one
hunts with an assault rifle. No one needs ten bullets
to kill a deer, and too many innocent people have

(01:18:39):
died already. And the madness, now, holy smokes, it sounds
like Hilary Clinton. Holy cow. No one needs ten bullets
to kill a deer. That's amazing. These people actually want

(01:19:00):
you to think that the second Amendment is all about hunting,
and they don't want to take you hunter's guns away
from you. The Second Amendment's not about hunting. How many
bullets are in the clips of Andrew Cuomo's security team.
I wonder here's the next SoundBite. Pass safe, reasonable gun
control in the state of New York. Make this state safer,

(01:19:24):
save lives. Set them an example for the rest of
the nation. Let them look at New York and say
this is what you can do, and this is what
you should do. This is New York, the progressive capital.
You show them how we leave. We can do it.

(01:19:46):
We've done it before, we can do it again. That's
a big, flourish finale, finished from Andrew the Pious, All
about getting rid of ten bullets to kill a deer,
all about getting rid of high capacity assault rifles. We've
done it before. Well no, no, he didn't mean on

(01:20:09):
guns when he said we've done it before and we
can do it again. He's talking about advancing liberalism. That's
when he said, this is New York, the progressive capital.
Progressive is in progressive is in liberalism. So we'll show
him how to lead. We can do We've done it before,

(01:20:32):
and you know we've we've advanced liberal which he's right about.
They've done that. New York has shown the way. New
York is also the city that that featured in the
overnight hours of last night into this morning, a bust
and arrest of MS the team members in Queens who
were loading a body into the trunk of a car

(01:20:54):
wrapped in a carpet. That's progressive. There's your progressivism, right,
There're so progressive in New York. We're so progressive. We've
decided to put the criminals in charge of the state,
actual criminals, not just crooks. And that's that's the remarkable
thing about all of this. The party that gave you

(01:21:15):
Andrew Cuomo saying you don't need ten bullets to kill
a deer is the same party that gave you Joe
Biden two weeks ago when I was in as a
tour guide and a show guide, and you had Joe
Biden saying, just go out on your balcony and start
busting shots off. Just just start busting caps with a
shotgun blast of your balcony at the Vice President's mansion

(01:21:36):
in Washington. Yeo, okay, what do Andrew Cuomo and Joe
Biden have in common. Well, Andrew Cuomo is the governor
of New York. Joe Biden was vice president, is now president.
I mean, I mean Joe Biden's got protection for the
rest of his life. He could own that shotgun shore.
I mean, I guess doesn't need it, doesn't need it.
He's going to be protected. And Andrew Cuomos got round

(01:21:56):
the clock security as the governor of the state of
New York. So so when you listen to these arguments
being made by these progressives, these liberals, I've never understood
in all seriousness. I'm I own a firearm. I own firearms.
I have learned the safe use of them. They are secured,

(01:22:20):
they are they are stored in the proper fashion, all
of that sort of stuff, all that sort of stuff.
It seems to me when a Democrat comes out like
Cuomo and talks about his bona fides as a gun owner, right,
he's trying to tell you, I understand you gun people.
I have a shotgun. You have a gun people. If

(01:22:40):
we've learned nothing during the pandemic, we've learned that the
gun people are everybody now because a ton of guns
got sold during the lockdowns, and those who are not
sold for hunting. A couple of them might have been.
They were sold for security. It was a referendum on
the safety and security of our communities around this country.
Over the last year. We didn't think it was going

(01:23:02):
to be a zombie apocalypse, but we watched with great
interest the war on policing, the war on civic order,
the war on safe streets, and people said, you know what,
I think it's about time we go out and get
something that's going to protect our family. So it makes
the gun grab scheme now even harder because you've got

(01:23:23):
people of every ethnic background, people of every color, people
of every gender, multiple genders, you name it. You've got
people of every identity. This is no longer you know,
hay seed and Hick going out and buying guns. And
I say that with full respect of Hayseeds and Hicks.
I love I love all people. But you understand what
I'm saying. The people in DC think is just a

(01:23:45):
bunch of you people that are buying guns. It's we,
the people who are buying the firearms. Because it's a
referendum on the failure of blue states and blue cities.
We don't believe you can come and save us when
it gets really bad, so we'll save our selves. Thank
you very much, Andy the Pious eight hundred two two

(01:24:05):
to eighty two the telephone number to be a part
of the conversation. Up next, A rock and Roller pushes
back on the cancel culture on Brett Wittable Your Guide
on the Russell Budget. Last week, former Twisted Sister frontman
D Snyder was on with Ashley Banfield on News Nation's Banfield.
She said, I want to get your take a little

(01:24:27):
bit on cancel culture these days. D is talking about
way back when when he testified on Capitol Hill in
the nineteen eighties for the PMARC, the Parents Music Resource Center.
Here's what D Snyder said. It's censorship, and censorship has
changed quite a bit. I mean, you go to when

(01:24:49):
I was in Washington testifying, by the way, as a
bipartisan effort. It was a Democrat and Republicans who were
joined together and you know, putting a leash on rock role.
But it was definitely a conservative attitude. It was a
more conservative attitude wanting to sense your music. Now, censorship
still exists, but it's gone from the right more to

(01:25:10):
the left. Where we're in this PC world where we
have to be careful about what we say and who
we offending. And it's a very odd thing, you know,
it's really an incredible thing, because if you talk to
any of the folks. I lived in Los Angeles for
a long time and I got to know musicians there
in the city, and when you speak to musicians, especially
professional musicians who earn a living, the increase in taxation,

(01:25:34):
the increase in regulation, and the attack on Gibson guitars
by the way that the Obama administration ran for a
couple of years really flipped a lot of musicians out
of the mode of being, you know, kind of Marxist,
left wing hippie types into being defenders of the First Amendment.
You have to remember it's an important time. In the

(01:25:54):
nineteen eighties. Al Gore's wife, Tipper Gore, ran the PMRC,
the Parents Music Resource Center. I remember those days very well.
I remember those hearings very well. In fact, when d
Snyder testified, he didn't bring in like a binder or
a sheet of paper. He did the old trick from
high school, where he had folded up his remarks on

(01:26:14):
a piece of notebook paper that was in his back
pocket of his blue jeans, and he did the thing
where he pulled it out and he unfolded it and
it took like, you know, fifteen thirty seconds to unfold
the paper to read the statement into the record. I mean,
these guys understand what happens when when the politically correct
crowd comes in and tries to put you out of business.
It's very serious and as alternative and all that that

(01:26:37):
these folks on the left want to claim to be,
they're not. They're they're not. They're not your friends. They're
about control and they're about power. Look at Big Tech.
You look at what big Tech is doing out there
with their influence right once upon a time, Oh, Silicon Valley,
we're alternative. We're alternative. We're just a bunch of you know,
people trying to create power for the people with the Internet. Yeah,

(01:26:59):
that's does that's not the case. Facebook has been censoring
like maniacs. Chelsea Clinton wants Tucker censored off of Facebook.
Facebook removed the story of The New York Post publishing
about the three point two million dollar real estate spending
spree of the BLM co founder Patrice con Cooler colors
it's the third time the social media giant did this

(01:27:21):
to the Post in the past year. They did it
on the Hunter stuff, and now they've done it on
this information, saying, well, we don't want to talk about
the fact that one of the leaders, one of the
founders of the Black Lives Matter Global Network, spent three
point two million dollars on real estate. Now, I don't
know where she got the money. I'm not saying she

(01:27:41):
she got it in in an inappropriate way. She's got
media deals with YouTube and development deals with different websites.
She could be a consultant on a number of projects.
I don't count other people's I'm not sitting here counting
another person's money. What I'm taking umbrage with is a
discussion that has begun about her owning all this real estate,

(01:28:03):
despite the fact that she has declared herself a Marxist.
It's very consistent, by the way, with Marxism and communism,
because we know that during the Soviet era, it was
very popular to have, you know, your your fancy apartment
as part of the Communist Party in Moscow, and then
you had Datcha's out there around the countryside where you
would go to your to your your summer getaway or

(01:28:25):
your weekend, getaway and laugh at the proletariat who are
suffering in toilet paper and pantyhose lines. So this isn't
about a particular group. Black Lives Matter, this is not
about a particular person. It's actually about the censorship effort
by big tech, which is disturbing in the extreme. But

(01:28:47):
they've got their own standard, and that standard is whatever
they decide the standard is going to be that day.
And that's what is so vitally important about that entire conversation.
There is no set standard. It's a living, breathing standard.
But like feeding a dragon, the dragon is going to
get more aggressive the more you work to try to

(01:29:07):
appease it. There is no appeasing Twitter, there is no
appeasing Google, there is no appeasing Facebook, any of these products.
You cannot appease them. Cancel culture is it. That's what
they're going for. They want to be the ultimate arbiters.
It's the one thing that drives them craziest. By the way,

(01:29:28):
talk Radio because they can't do it. They can't break
us because we are talking directly to the people, and
the people are talking to us. The numbers have never
been better. You know where the numbers have been great.
The stock markets up again today to an all time high.
There's so much talk about investing in, what to invest in,
and how much to invest in. That includes not just stocks,

(01:29:52):
but real currency that you can hold in your hand,
gold and silver being two examples for that matter. You
can put those two kinds of precious metals into your
hirement account. We're welcoming a new sponsor to the program,
Oxford Gold Group, because they've passed our test of being reliable, honest,
hard working company and those are the kinds of sponsors
this program embraces. Oxford Gold Group is their name. I

(01:30:14):
mentioned them at the beginning of the program today. They
help you make your money work hard for you, just
as you did to earn what's in your savings account.
Put your savings and retirement accounts into something real like
gold and silver. Real gold and silver you can actually
have in your hands. Oxford Gold Group does that every day,
and it starts when you call them at eight three
to three four oh four Gold. The Oxford Gold Group

(01:30:36):
will teach you everything you need to know about owning
real gold and silver, and it's a lot easier than
you think. Call the Oxford Gold Group right now, at
eight three to three four zero four gold to get
your free gold and silver investment guide. If you should
ever decide you want to sell your gold or silver,
the Oxford Gold Group will buy it back and they
don't charge you anything when you sell your gold and

(01:30:58):
silver to Oxford. They're number again, easy to remember, eight
three three four oh four gold eight three three four
oh four Gold. That's eight three three four zero four
g O l D. Remarkable company, remarkable organization they are.

(01:31:18):
They are very welcome here on the program, and I'm
excited to be talking about them when we come back
in a matter of moments. What I've got for you
is dynamite stuff, and it's stuff you're not going to
hear any place else. An explanation, A deep explanation of
woke from a president. I heard a terrific phone call

(01:31:43):
here on the program yesterday. I listened to the show
every single day, and it is wonderful to be here
right now with you. I heard a great call from
a from a woman who had called in and her
name escapes me at this point, but she was asking
what wokesm was right. She was saying, what is this
wokeism thing? What is woke I don't know what that
phrase means. It's new to me. What how do we
explain this? Well, woke woke is everywhere in the culture

(01:32:07):
right now. Right there are professors who are rejecting calls
to resign after rebuking his woke university. There are there
are all new approaches towards woke and wokeness. Well, Rush
broke this down beautifully with Barack and Michelle Obama on

(01:32:27):
wokeness and whiteness. Obama has come out against wokeness and
Michelle Obama said, you know what, I don't think it's possible.
I can't convince white people that black people are okay
and nice. I just can't do it. I'd have to
show up every day for fifteen hours a day. I
don't think I can do it. I cannot convince white

(01:32:48):
people that black people are okay and not mean. And
bed Obama's come out. He said, I don't care how
woke you are. That's not activism. You know what I
think Obama's doing. You have a heard this, Well, I've
got the sound by look, I'm just setting at table.
I've got the sound by troll this coming up. Obama
literally came out and ripped into wokeness, which is the

(01:33:09):
modern expression of political correctness. And he said, you can
be woke all day. You can have all your memes
and all you want on social media, but that's not activism.
I think I think Obama's worried about what's happening to
his daughters in college. And I think this is a
long distance message from a father to his kids. You know,

(01:33:32):
most kids rebel against parents at some stage. Even if
your dad is Barak who's saying the one, Even if
your dad is the former president, people rebel. It's it's
human nature. And I think he may be worried about
the kind of stuff his daughters are encounter Who wouldn't
be if you're a responsible parent, who wouldn't be. No,

(01:33:53):
that's just the encountering liberalism they're encountering, encountering left wing
anti American radicalism everywhere. So Obama's statement criticizing wonkeness, I
wouldn't be surprised. Don't know, I'm just wild guessing here,
but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it's a
long distance message and attempt to reach his two daughters

(01:34:15):
to not fall for it and don't let that define them.
Return them into who they are. Michelle Obama says that
white people are still running from blacks and immigrants. And
she was in Chicago the Obama Foundation's summit, and this
is what she said. I can't make people not afraid

(01:34:37):
of black people. I don't know what's going on. I
can't explain what's happening in your head. But maybe if
I show up every day as a human, a good human, maybe,
just maybe that work will pick away at the scabs
of your discrimination. We can't do it for them because
they're broken. Their brokenness and how they see us a

(01:35:00):
flection of their brokenness, and you can't fix that. Woman
was First Lady for eight years for crying out loud.
She was visible every day. She was a nice person
every day. She was compassionate, she was she showed up,
she was a good human every day. Here she is

(01:35:21):
at the Obama Foundation summit. I can't make people not
afraid of black people. I don't know what's going on.
I can't explain what's happening in your head. But maybe
if I should. Where does Michelle Obama live says white
people are still running from blacks and immigrants. The Obamas
have two primary residences. One of them is an eight

(01:35:44):
million dollar house in Calorama, Washington, DC. It's eighty three
percent white. Only three point eight percent of the population
of the Calorama area is black. So from whom is
Michelle Obama running If she moves into a eighty three

(01:36:07):
percent white neighborhood, where did she leave? I'm not supposed
to ask this, folks. I realized it takes a brave
and courageous soul like me to ask questions like this.
But she claims the white people are still running from
blacks and emmigrants, and yet she moves into an eighty
three percent white neighborhood, which you have to ask wolf
from where did she come? And the second home the

(01:36:31):
Obama's have is in Martha's Vineyard. The black population of
Martha's Vineyard three point three percent. You know it, lives
in Martha's Vineyard, A bunch of uber left wing harvard
An academic deep staters. And that's who the Obamas want
to hang out with. Three point three percent black population.

(01:36:52):
Martha's Vineyard three point eight percent black population. Where to
live in Washington? So who's running away from? Who? Who's
running too? Who? Now here's her husband? Barak who's saying, Oh,
this is yesterday's Chicago again, the Obama Foundation summit, and
this is what he said about wokeness and all that

(01:37:13):
you can There is this sense sometimes yourself the way
of me making change is to be as judgmental as
possible about other people. And that's enough. Like if I
tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right
or use the word wrong verb or then I can

(01:37:33):
sit back and feel pretty good about myself, because man,
you see how it woke I was. That's not activism.
That's not bringing about change. You know, if all you're
doing is cast in stones, yeah, you're probably not going
to get that far. Oh my goodness, you Obamas are
throwing cold water on everybody. You Obama's there's a walking
cold shower. You got all these leftists out there thinking

(01:37:54):
they're doing the Lord's work. There's no lord. Whose work
are they doing Nature's. I guess they're being walk they're
doing political correctness. They're tweeting and they're saying all the
right things. And here comes they're idol telling him they
ain't doing nothing, Like if I tweet hairshtag but how
you didn't do something right? Use word wrong, word. Well,

(01:38:16):
I've said backfield, pretty good, you ain't doing nothing that's
not Oh my goodness, folks. And I'm telling you, I
think I'm a wild guess, but I wouldn't be surprised
if he's trying to send a message to his two daughters.
They said, look, it's a wild guess, but they are
surrounded by that culture if they are at any university.

(01:38:36):
I can absolutely attest to the fact that as a
parent of a college age student and a middle of
high school age student, you do think about things like
this all the time, about what are my kids going
to get exposed to? And if Barack Obama's you know,
like like any dad, he rushed me very well have

(01:38:59):
been spot up with that, because you don't know what
these crazy professors are telling you. And let's also not
forget something here too. Let's also not forget something. It's
increasingly likely that Russia is exactly right because that name
Obama carries with it a lot of weight. And if
Barack Obama president Obama was trying to send a message
to his kids in college to say and don't don't

(01:39:21):
just throw in with whatever and hashtag whatever movement or whatever,
I think Russia's I think Russia has got a great
point there. The idea of hey, don't go using the
name unless it's you know, something that you're really into.
I think it's a really really interesting take. Let's go
out and talk to Larry in Raleigh, North Carolina. Larry,

(01:39:42):
Welcome to Russia. Lumbos show what's on your mind today? Sir,
Thank you so much. Brett Ryderville, I just want to
say eternal dittos out to Rush, Boston Prayers's whole family.
This is a privilege. I'll try to get my story
real quick here. Russia is the best friend never met.
I learned to listen to Rush from my father back

(01:40:04):
in ninety and my father carry the radio around listening
to Rush. Rush has helped me paint more rooms in
my home. He has helped me while I was up
under a car changing the oil or working on my motorcycle.
He's been with me why I rewired my entire boat.
I can remember things where Rush was quoted for saying,

(01:40:26):
you know, I hope Obama fails, and I can visualize
exactly where I was in my yard raking my leaves
that day. The experience with Rush has just been incredible
and he has missed dearly. You know. It's it's it's
great testimony to his power in your life, his impression
on you, in your life and in the lives of

(01:40:47):
so many millions of other people. And that's why, that's
why we're doing these programs and the way we are,
because so much of what he said throughout the years
is exactly spot on, and the analysis stands up regardless of, say,
the circumstances that are moving at a even point, Larry,
and it also speaks to something else. And I'm so
happy you talked about this component because Rush obviously loved
the broadcasting medium, loved radio, succeeded at every medium he

(01:41:11):
took on. But in terms of radio, this is the
most intimate medium there is. And we are with you
during all those times and the good times and the
bad times. And there's that's that connectivity between Larry and
Raleigh and Rush Limbaugh, and that connectivity that you heard
earlier today between the businesses in this country, uh and
and and Rush and the award that was that was

(01:41:34):
given out by Catherine Limbaugh earlier today to help these
businesses continue to thrive. This is a relationship that believe
me is symbiotic and it goes both ways. And I'm
so happy you were able to call and express those
feelings because I can tell you firsthand that this audience
meant the world to Rush Limbaugh. And that's why we're

(01:41:56):
carrying it forward on Brett Witterball on the Russia Limbah Show.
Tremendous day of broadcasting here on the IB Network. We
conclude today's show with our EIB high note, you know,
the purpose of which is to celebrate Russia's spirit and
infectious optimism. One of the things that Rush often said
that he loved was sharing his passions with you the audience.

(01:42:18):
Tech was a big one, you know. Apple never had
a better spokesman for his products than Rush Limbaugh. He
genuinely marveled at the engineering, the feat that went into
making Apple products and was probably their best customer. Here's
the thing, Even if you had no interest in tech,
Rush made it interesting because he was so enthusiastic. He

(01:42:39):
was like a kid at a Christmas gathering waiting for
a new update or product releases. And admit it, his
excitement had a way of rubbing off. He must have
given away over one hundred iPhones throughout the years. It
was something he absolutely loved to do, so we put
together a montage of just a few of those special
and unexpected moments for the lucky callers. Let me remind

(01:43:00):
you again what we're doing here with our iPhone giveaway. Today,
we're going to announce the first winner. We have ten iPhones.
We're giving away one of them each day. The first winner,
Tom Ell of North Platton, Nebraska. Eric, I'm glad you called, sir.
You're next at a Rush limpop program. Hi, Hi, Rush,
thank you very much. I'm so excited I finally got
through in the day. You're giving away a free iPhone.
This is the second of ten iPhones that we have

(01:43:23):
now given away, another one tomorrow, and we'll keep going
until all ten have been given away. Now, as you know,
ladies and gentlemen, we don't give away things on this
program that require our winners to spend money. We're going
to send every winner enough money to pay for two
years of service time to give away another iPhone. This
is number four and we've got six more to go.
All right, Well, I've bought about forty iPhones to giveaway.

(01:43:46):
It's staff members and friends and so forth. I think
they're cool, and everybody I've sent one to just absolutely
loves it. Thanks to you, I finally bought an iPhone,
and I cannot tell you. You'd be amazed at what
I can do with my iPhone as a blind person. Oh,
I believe me. I know the accessibility features. Rush. You
haven't talked about the new iPhone. No, I haven't talked

(01:44:07):
about the new one, because if I bring up the
new iPhones, I'm gonna hear from a stick to the
issues crowd. But I'm going to tell you. I'll give
you a little hint here. This new iPhone eleven. This
thing is going to be hot. It's blazing. Have you
seen this? You can't buy an iPhone eleven in New York.
The Apple stores are out of stock. I think I

(01:44:28):
may have more iPhone elevens than they have. I still
have plenty of stock. I'm calling on a dinosaur iPhone four.
I'm sorry to report, Ray, you made a big deal
here about having an antiquated worthless iPhone forty. You want
a replacement. I don't have very many left. You know,
I've given away over one hundred and thirty of these,
but I think I've got some back there. Rush, you

(01:44:49):
are generous and gracious, and this is part of what
makes you the best guy on radio outstanding. This is
why it was always such a pleasure to end time
working working with Rush, because the passion for technology was
wasn't forced. It wasn't like an endorser, you know, pushing
pushing a product. It was genuine and sincere and real.

(01:45:14):
He I used to watch as they would come in,
they would install new equipment, new computers, uh a new
new Apple, computers, max, you name it. And he was
stoked when that when that technology was coming in because
he knew it was going to mean cooler stuff that
he could do in terms of projects and editing and
writing and and all of that. It was all done

(01:45:36):
with an eye towards improving the content experience for the
for the listeners out there. And that's that's always been
a front and center desire and wish every monthly issue
of America's number one political newsletters driven by Rush Limbough's
vision humor and optimism plus cutting edge news analysis. And
as long as liberals do and say stupid stuff, the

(01:45:58):
Limbo Letter will prove them wrong, call them out in
the wildly popular special kind of stupid and stupid quotes features.
Subscribe today and your new subscription includes one free issue
a total of thirteen issues. It's available in both print
and digital editions. So ordered today at Rush Limbaugh dot com.
That's Rushlimba dot com. In a matter of moments, we'll

(01:46:22):
be back and I'll share with you a closing thought.
My name is Brett Wittable. I'm your guide today on
the EIB network. I am bretible guide on the Russia
Limbos Show today and I always enjoy this time of
the of the week, not because not because it means

(01:46:43):
that that we're wrapping up for the week, but what
it means is we get to go and spend time
with our families and our friends and relax. And I
think it's a hugely important thing that we do that.
There is a percentage of people in our country that
think this country is going to go away, is failing,
is losing, it doesn't have a future, and they're wrong
about that because we have a very bright future. What

(01:47:05):
we have on our side of this argument is hope.
What we have on this side of the argument is faith,
And what we have on this side of the argument
is charity. Three incredibly important things that we carry with us.
There are people who are going to over tonight and
across the weekend sit and be angry and be bitter

(01:47:27):
and all of those things. We need to take an
opportunity and recharge and get together and be with our
closest friends, family, what have you, and to remember the
blessings we have. We can get caught up in a
lot of the fights and then overlook the blessings that
we have. We live in the United States of America
in an incredibly important time, and we get to be

(01:47:48):
here together to continue the fight moving forward. People that
have helped me throughout the day, I want to thank
Crash and Ali and Joe and Greg and of course
Craig and Susan and the whole team here at the
EB Network, because these folks helped to continue to steer
this ship towards that hope in the distance, and I'm

(01:48:11):
confident of it every step of the way. I'm breathitable
of a lovely weekend on the EIB Network.
