Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbo Show podcast. Yes,
America's anchor man is away. You know how it goes.
It's that time of year, on the ninth day of
guest host Rush Limbog gave to me. Anyway, it is
a thrill to be here. America's anchor man is out.
And this is your undocumented an command Mark Snein, no

(00:22):
supporting paperwork whatsoever, just another foreign exchange student here at
the Limbough Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. And like every
other foreign exchange student in America, I'm working for the
Chinese Communist Party. I was sent here by Chairman Ge

(00:43):
to compromise Eric Swollwell, but frankly I'm in no hurry
to do that, so I've been putting it off for
a while. The good news is that twenty twenty y
is over if you're in the Solomon Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia.
The bad news is that Doc Fauci and the CDC

(01:04):
have decided to delay the rollout to slow the spread
of twenty twenty one. So we may not get New
Year here for a couple more weeks, and we may
be stuck in twenty twenty. Twelve months ago, President Trump
was whacking sulimany in Iran and presiding over a gangbusters
economy at home and sticking it to the Chai Coms

(01:27):
in a trade war, and Joe Biden couldn't tell the
difference between New Hampshire and Vermont, Iowa and Ohio. He
was staggering around sniffing the hair of random middle schoolers
and was widely assumed to be heading for the exits.
Nobody saw any of what happened in the succeeding twelve

(01:51):
months coming. Well, nobody who isn't on the Chinese Politburo
saw any of it coming. We will look back and
we will look forward to twenty twenty one. In the
course of today's show. Eight hundred two eight two eight
eight two is the number to call. As I always say,
I love to hear from lefties because it looks as

(02:14):
if you're going to be having the last laugh on
us as far as twenty twenty is concerned. So do
give me a call, particularly if your cocka hoop, if
you would like to cock a snook, as they say,
I actually I don't know whether anybody says that over here.
But I do like to say, if you like to
cock a snook at the right and you're on the left,

(02:37):
give me a call. One eight hundred two eight two
two eight eight two. Go on, give it, give it
your best shot. We've got Ali calls screening today, so
you're in for a treat because you're not going to
be abused by mister Snurdley as you normally would be.
She is delightful and charming. So make the most of
it because Snurdley will be back with his usual manner

(02:58):
in a day or one eight hundred two eight two
two eight eight two. As I said, where we are
right now is not where we thought we would be
when we came into twenty twenty on January the first.
And that goes not just for the world, but it
goes for us in the eib family too. It was

(03:20):
in January that Rush received his cancer diagnosis. And I
don't know about you. I mean I do sort of
because I've seen a lot of the comments on the
internet about his last show just before Christmas here and
it was very moving. It it was too moving in
some respects. He said to us. He told us that

(03:43):
when he got that diagnosis, he didn't expect to be
here for November's election, and he didn't expect to be
here for Christmas. And Rush is here, and I thank
the Lord for that. And so Rush will be back
in twenty ny one with us right here on America's
number one radio show. It was no secret what Rush

(04:06):
did this year. He came he loves this show, he
loves his connection with you, and he came here every
day he could when he wasn't basically on some hospital
bed being poked around and given this and given that
by his doctors and nurses. He came here every single
day he could with one objective, and that was to

(04:30):
get Trump over the finish line on November the third,
and yes, thanks to the usual Democrats Shenanigan's supersize this year,
Trump didn't quite get across the finish line on November
the third because of what went on in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona,

(04:53):
and Nevada. He didn't quite get across the finish line,
but Rush almost got in there. And if the so
called Republican establishment had worked as hard to get Trump
across the finish line as Rush did, we would not
be in the situation wherein today, now we've got this

(05:14):
another critical election. Everything hangs on it. Everything, the fate
of America hangs on these two Senate seats in Georgia
coming up in whatever it is now, six days time.
The polls are garbage, so make of this what you will.
But the polls, which I think are intended these days

(05:36):
mainly to depress Republican turnout, but they do show a
slight lead for both of these so called Democrats, the
guy who's basically in the bag for China, he's running
against Perdue, and the other guy who's some widow creep
castro fan who ran some camp that they had a

(05:59):
big stage investigation for abuse of miners and ran over
his estranged wife's foot. The China shill and the guy
who runs over his wife's foot both slightly ahead. So
we're going to need a spectacular turnout because this is Georgia.
This is the Georgia where Fulton County has a mythical

(06:21):
pipe bust that shut down, the count that has a
server crash in an election where supposedly the machines aren't
connected to the internet. This is Georgia. This is the
new Georgia, which in nothing flat has achieved the level
of electoral corruption that Pennsylvania has taken a century and

(06:41):
a half to achieve. So that's impressive. So we got
some news on the Georgia election front, which is that
the Democrats seem pretty confident that McConnell's maneuverings in the
United States Senate to kill the two thousand dollar check

(07:04):
for COVID relief by tying it to the removal of
big tech's liability and also to an investigation into the
state of America's federal elections, that McConnell's interference on the

(07:25):
two thousand dollars COVID relief check will cost the Republicans
these Senate seats. I don't I don't know about that,
and I'd be interested in in your take on it.
One can get two into the weeds on this thing.
A lot of people have never heard of what's going
on there. A lot of the guy who one of
these kids who was abused at this camp that this

(07:47):
guy Warnuck ran. He ran a camp in Maryland called
Camp farthest Out. Camp farthest Out. He named it either
after his political philosophy because he's pretty far out even
for the American left, or he named it after the
fact that it's quite the weirdest boys camp there is

(08:10):
in Maryland. Anyway, This one kid out there, he was
twelve years old. He got urinated on by the camp
counselors and forced to sleep on an outdoor basketball court.
He's now thirty, and he hadn't heard that the guy
who ran the camp of his tormentors was running for

(08:31):
the United States Senate. So there's a lot of people
who aren't following this thing too closely. But the fact
is we're being told we needn't worry because the Republicans
have got eight thousand pole watchers whooped de Doo's. If
it's like November the third and those eight thousand pole
watchers are standing outside on the street trying to look

(08:52):
through the window, that's not going to do much good.
But that's that's the big the big story coming up,
the big story for me this year, And I'd like
to actually talk about something that matters as we were
briefly during the spring, because the great thing about the
COVID is that it revealed that basically, this is China's

(09:13):
world and we just live in it, and we learned things.
We learned that for example, It's not just all our
lousy T shirts and our smartphones that are made in China.
China actually makes all our medicines. And having exported the
COVID to two hundred nations and territories around the world
and nothing flat, China then decided not to export medicines,

(09:37):
decided not to export reliable surgical masks, and all the
rest of it. And that was, I think news to
most Americans. And for a while, we were talking about
bringing the supply chain home, because, after all, if China
makes everything from your headache pills to your personal protective equipment,
then you can't really fight a war. It doesn't matter

(09:59):
what free to you have with Taiwan about agreeing to
save them if the Chinese invade. If on the fifth
day of the warrior pilots can't fly because they've got
splitting headaches and itchy bottoms because Beijing is sitting on
the aspirins and suppositories and not shipping any out to you,
then you can't really find a war. And then suddenly,

(10:22):
so for once, we were actually talking about something that mattered,
ending this ludicrous three decade Washington uniparty delusion that letting
China become the dominant economic power, would make China more
like us in respect of basic rights to freedom of

(10:42):
speech and freedom of movement and freedom of association. And
instead we've become more like them because now we have
restraints on we have Chinese style restraints on freedom of speech,
freedom of movement, freedom of association. And then so we
were talking about something important, the most important fact of

(11:03):
the year, and then suddenly round about Memorial Day, it
all stopped, and the biggest issue in the world was
supposedly Confederate statues. And frankly, a nation that thinks the
biggest public policy priority is statues of Confederate generals, who,
unless they're on active Democrat voters, all died one hundred

(11:28):
and fifty years ago. If you're if you were registered
in Michigan and Wisconsin and you were a Confederate general
in Wisconsin or Michigan, which would be a rare thing.
But if you're a Democrat voter and you're probably alive
and well, notwithstanding the fact that you're a Confederate general,
we're talking about rubbish. China doesn't waste its time with

(11:49):
any of this, and they're snaffling the world out from
under us. And as I said before this came up,
I wanted Trump to seize that issue and run on
the slogan make America number one again, because the Washington
Uniparty gave away your country. They gave away your country,
They gave away your global dominance since the late nineteenth

(12:11):
century when you beat out Britain and Germany to become
the dominant economic power. They gave away your geopolitical dominance
since the end of the Second World War. The Washington
Uniparty gave it away. And they now want to put
a man who's China's shill, who gets ten percent from

(12:32):
the big for the big guy, from Chairman Gie, the
really big guy. Chairman Gie reserves ten percent for the
big guy for his man, Joe Biden. They want to
install him and a bunch of China shills and make
this issue go off onto the back burner for another
eight years until it's too late. No, make America number

(12:55):
one again. Mark signing for Rush. We will take your
calls one hundred two eight two two eight eight two
Mark Stein in Far Rush on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network,
The very last Rush Limbaugh Show of a terrible year
twenty twenty. You know, at a good time. It's the

(13:17):
headline from the Washington Post a year quote quote from
the Washington Boast. The headline quote a year after coronavirus
emerged in Wuhan, China's Gee declares twenty twenty eight triumph unquote.
It's almost as if the Washington Boast is implying that
the emergence of the coronavirus is what made twenty twenty

(13:42):
a triumph for Chairman Gee. He managed to persuade all
his economic arrivals around the planet to drive there, with
the exception of Sweden, to drive their economies off a cliff,
and then, having driven them off a cliff, to keep
them going. It's believed to be a little over one

(14:04):
in five American small businesses have gone out of business
for good this year. Over one in five. Now, when
you even that out across all the rural districts that
have been less affected compared to the big cities like
New York and Los Angeles and all the rest of it,
that's absolutely incredible. Over one fifth of all small businesses

(14:27):
in America out gone forever, not coming back forever because
of the lockdown, and lockdown hasn't worked and has been well.
That's a bit unfair. Lockdown for a couple of weeks
did work in northern Italy in that it prevented coronavirus
spreading to southern Italy and into southeastern France and that

(14:53):
kind of thing, because that's normally the way you use lockdown.
You taken infected place and prevent it from infecting its neighbors.
That goes back to the plague in Europe whatever it
is now, three and a half centuries ago. But that's
not that's not what we did here. We locked down

(15:16):
millions and millions of healthy people. And so you have
situations like San Francisco where there have been more fatal
drug overdoses than COVID deaths, where in fact, in that city,
the increase in the rise of fatal drug overdoses I

(15:38):
think it's one hundred and eighty extra fatal drug overdoses
compared to one hundred and seventy three COVID death. San
Francisco is a totally ruined town, completely locked down. They
change the rules every every two every two weeks, and
yet people are dying, people are killing themselves because of

(15:58):
the lockdown, and we're now like the Soviet Union. A
commenter at my website made this point the other day,
and it's quite right. But whenever you say, oh, wait
a minute, lockdown hasn't worked, it's got worse. During lockdown,
it's done nothing. We're i like the Soviet Union, we
say oh yes, but that's because we haven't really tried

(16:18):
the full lockdown. We need to be even more lockdown,
just as the excuse for communism is oh yes, no, no, no.
It failed in the Soviet Union, and it failed in
the Warsaw Pact countries, and it failed here and it
failed there. But that's because the real, pure one hundred
percent communism has never been properly tried. That's how it
is now with lockdown. If lockdown doesn't work, you need

(16:41):
more lockdown. And if more lockdown doesn't work, you need
even more lockdown. And they've got no answer to this.
And again, the other tragedy of this is that what
was a twenty trillion dollar debt is now tickling thirty
trillion dollars. No one. So just to put that in perspective,
the government of the Unite this is federal debt. The

(17:03):
government of the United States has to pay back whatever
it is now twenty seven trillion dollars just to get
back to having nothing, no one, just to get back
to being broke. The government of the United States has
to pay back twenty seven trillion dollars just to get
back to being broke. No one in human history has

(17:25):
ever done that before. And if you look into the
eyes of any Washington politician and asked them about it,
you can see in their eyes that they've no serious
intention of doing anything about it, no serious intention about it.
I mean, some countries do pay off their debt. New
Zealand paid off all its so called crown debt. That's

(17:48):
the same thing as here government debt. They paid it
all off. They decided they were going to pay it
all off. I think ground sudden round the beginning of
the century, and they did pay it all off. The
Canadian Liberal Party of all people, actually manage to pay
down the debt. But nobody in Washington seriously plans on

(18:09):
paying down the debt. And they can get away with
that because the dollar is the United States dollar is
the global reserve currency. Uh huh. So we have a
situation now where, if it isn't already technically, China is
about to become the dominant global economic power so at
some point and Chairman she thinks ahead, because he's already

(18:32):
sutten to think about all this stuff. He's going to
yank the rug out from under the United States dollar.
He's going to pick his moment. He's going to pick
his moment. But at some point he's going to choose
his moment and go for it. And at that point
we are then like any other country in that the

(18:54):
debt will mean something and it will become real because
we will be having to pay it off in real money.
Mark snein in for Rush. Rush will return in twenty one.
But if you're missing him, the solution to that is
very simpol You could take out a subscription to the

(19:17):
limboll At. It's the perfect imprint companion to Rush's radio show,
and every month you will find Rush addressing the critical
issues of the day, doing absolutely laser focused political commentary,
a big dose of limball like optimism about the future.

(19:38):
And that's certainly exemplified in the January issue. You want
to miss the January issue. The December issue had Rush
in some kind of Dickensian costume standing in front of
a Christmas tree holding an oil lamp, and I wasn't
quite sure what to make of that. But there's no
disguising the January issue. It's f tasting, It's got a

(20:01):
big American flag, supersized American flag draped across the wall
behind him, and Rush striding into the future full size
Rush stamming into walking into the future, and the headline
never stop fighting for America. Rush has never stopped fighting

(20:27):
for America. And as I said at the top of
the show, if the Republican establishment had done the same,
we wouldn't be in this situation today. You know, I
don't want to dwell on that because I don't even
like talking about these people. But Rush mentioned that this
guy in Wyoming, Senator Barrosso, that he likes the guy,
but that in this awful COVID relief bill, which is

(20:50):
like whatever it is, five thousand, five hundred and ninety
three pages, there's like a paragraph and a half of
COVID relief and then the other five thousand, five hundred
ninety two and a half pages are just rubbish. The
rubbish is Democrat rubbish. And yet we have to listen
to guys like Barosso talking about reducing CO two as

(21:11):
if he's a Democrat Rush made this point the day
before Christmas. He says that this guy sounds like a Democrat.
He's talking, he's talking about what's good in the bill,
and he's talking up what a Democrat would find good
on the bill. And this is the guy from Wyoming,
the most republican of republican states. Yet it's senator talks

(21:32):
like a Democrat. And then we have Lindsey Graham doing
is whatever it was, raving about the basilions of dollars
for gender, for gender programs. That's not actually, that's not
a word. Conservatives us. There's biological sex. We shouldn't be

(21:54):
doing gender programs if you've got to talk about it.
The term is sex, biological sex. And I was a schoolboy.
They used to us name data, birth address, and then
it would say sex, and instead of putting M or F,
we'd write yes please, because we were schoolboys and we
thought that was the greatest joke on the planet. It's sex,

(22:14):
not gender. So if you're talking about gender, you're not
a conservative. You've given into the left on language. And
giving into the left on language is why we can't
talk about immigration, why we can't talk about urban dysfunction,
because we've surrendered all the language on this why we
can't talk about transgender issues because we've surrendered all the language.
You surrender the language and you're disarming yourself. And that's

(22:37):
what these guys are doing, which is why I said,
I'm not whatever happens on January the twentieth, I ain't
going back to the pre Trump Republican party because we're
getting a taste of what that's like. It means Barroso
talking about reductions in CO two emissions, do you know
what's great for reducing your carbon footprint? Lockdown without end.
In other countries, they already talk about this as if

(23:00):
it's a good thing. You know, you hear all this
old COVID this and COVID that. So now let's have
a little bit of good news. I heard this on
the BBC a few months ago. They said, uh, well,
the good news is that Ireland has managed to reduce
its carbon footprint. Yeah, because they killed their economy. They
made it illegal for irishmen to travel more than three

(23:24):
miles from their home so the economists could put so
they've fantastically lowered their carbon footprint by killing the economy.
I'm not interested in Republicans who talk like democrats, So Burrow, So,
for God's sake, stop it. Stop it. There's no future
in this kind of go along to get along republicanism.

(23:46):
You know, Oh, I'll adopt all the lingo about carbon dioxide.
I'll adopt Lindsey Graham, I'll adopt all the lingo about
gender programs. He's got bazillions of dollars for gender programs
in Pakistan. He's so cited because they're with all the
money that you, the American taxpayer, have given them, they're
going to be able to start a take your child

(24:08):
bride to work day in Waziristan. And that all that's fantastic,
isn't it. It's just we're taurists in the harder darkness
in these places. It turns out we don't even know
anything that goes on in the dead of night in
Pennsylvania and Georgia. Why would we think we can figure
out what's going on in the dead of night in
Sudan and Waziristan. And this is why this bill is sick.

(24:33):
Is sick because they have asked extraordinary things of the
citizen this year, the ordinary individual. They've asked extraordinary things
of your grandma, your Grandma's in the old folks home
and suddenly they tell her around about whatever it is.
March eleventh. Oh, sorry, you can't have any human contact.
The state can deny you human contact. Hope, but it's

(24:57):
just for two weeks to fatten the cup. Oh no, no,
The two week to flatten the curve turned into April, May, June, July, August, September,
all the way to New Year's Eve. You can be
denied human contact by command of the state. In return,
this dirty, sleazy, rotten, corrupt political culture can't even restrain

(25:17):
itself from just throwing billions and billions of your dollars
into the Potomac and watching it float out into the
ocean to wash up in Sudan and who knows where.
If you're going to say to people, these are such
extreme times that you have to wear a mask every
time you leave the house, or in some states you

(25:39):
have to wear a mask even inside the house. You
can't have anybody from outside your household over for Christmas dinner.
These are extreme times. It's like war. You've got to
make a sacrifice. Okay, Well, could you useless, sick, depraved,
decadent political class in Washington, could you also make a
sacrifice and hold off over a filth and graft and

(26:01):
corruption in your dirty, stinking six thousand page bills, which
are not bills and they're not laws. Nothing that six
thousand pages long is a law because there isn't a
lawmaker on the planet who could read it. Could you
at least knock that off. If it's war and we
have to make sacrifices and we have to stay inside,

(26:23):
and we have to wear masks and we kind of
granny over, could you just at least knock it off
with the gender programs for Sudan and most laughable of all,
the promotion of democracy programs for Cambodia. I don't know
what poor old Cambodia ever did to have Yankee imperialists
inflict Michigan style, Georgia's style, Wisconsin style quote unquote democracy

(26:48):
on them. But they don't deserve it and they shouldn't
be getting it. Either it's war or it's not war.
Either it's either it's you know, I'll tell you it's
Sherlock Holmes. The dog that didn't bark, the dog that
didn't bark. I don't one of the it's different elsewhere

(27:08):
Rush talks a lot about American exceptionalism, and he's right,
because there's things that Americans do that lots of otherwise
free nations have given up doing. And so people in
Germany get excited when one hundred and fifty people show
up for an anti lockdown protest. What's disturbing to me

(27:29):
is the complacency. I think that was the word Jesse
Waters used on Fox News a couple of weeks back
about this, the complacency of the American people's reaction to
what's gone on. It's not just in the fact that
the conduct of the election was pathetic. It's basically a

(27:52):
third world election system we've still got. I think it's
a couple of dozen counties. We're getting on now for
two months since the election, and there's a couple of
dozen counties that still can't tell you what the result is.
They can if the guys who do Dancing with the
Stars ran America's crappy third world elections, they could tell

(28:15):
you the result in minutes. But there are two dozen
American counties that still can't tell you who won in
their counties. It's a joke, and yet the American people
go along with it. Then we have the other impositions.
It's not just that there's no free and fair elections,

(28:36):
but it's that you're being told when and under what
conditions you can leave your house. You're being told by
the state that you can't go to your job because
your job is non essential for nine months. So when
people start talking about, oh, remember we have to we
have to turn out in the George election. It's the

(28:58):
only thing that we save America from socialism, from communism,
from the radical communist socialist agenda. Well, if you'd earn
a free and fair elections and the state can compel
you to stay at home for months on end, and
the state can tell you whether or not you're allowed
to go and do your job, and the state can

(29:19):
tell you who you're allowed to have in your house
for Christmas dinner. In what sense, then, are we not
a socialist, communist, totalitarian, radical agenda blah blah blah. Society
already come on, they've got no plans to stop any
of this. Faucy says, oh sorry, sorry, sorry, it's all

(29:40):
still necessary. In what sense? You know, you can't leave
the house. In many American jurisdictions, like California, the state
determines when you leave the house, where you go and
what you know? Uh, the there's a great American world ornery.

(30:01):
I always love that because it doesn't really it doesn't
exist in Britannic English. It's a different The Canadians aren't ornery.
New Zealanders aren't ornery. It's a very American word, and
I was hoping Americans would get real ornery over the
impositions all we're sorry the first month of lockdowndon, what

(30:23):
we can do for another couple of months? Where are
the ornerary Americans? If you'll put up with this, if
you'll put up with having a risable joke elections, if
you'll put up with being told when you can leave
the house, if you'll put up with being told who
you can have in the house, you know, how can
you then run a campaign saying vote for us where

(30:45):
all that stands between you and the radical socialist agenda?
There's very few actual radical socialist agendas that explicitly tell you,
you know, it's curfew. Without end shelter in place, you
can't work for nine months. Normally they're a little more
subtle about it than that. And yet, and yet there

(31:05):
has been very little mass outrage about it. If you
think you know what that is, gimmy a call one
eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two. We
will take your calls straight ahead. Mark Stein for Rush.
First up on America's number one radio show. Let us
go to Edward, who's south of the border down Mexico Way.

(31:26):
I don't know whether he's doing a Missus Alec Baldwin
and pretending to be Hispanic, or whether he's genuinely Mexican,
but he's south of the border. Great to have you
with us, Edward. What's on your mind today? Hi? Mark?
Great job. First of all, you're my favorite guest post
working hard doing Tucker and this good job. Thank you.
Came down to Mexico for a little freedom from California.

(31:51):
But really, my bigger you got you gotta get some
freedom somehow, right, So yeah, that's right, even if it
involves leaving the country to get it. What's is? I
am concerned about Georgia, and I think there's a couple
really big things besides the obvious, right, So I mean,
like you have election integrity, which is still a problem.
I mean, like look last month, I mean even just

(32:12):
the simple things, the polls being held, open for three
hours to make up the difference. You know, a pipe
berths and clears the counting room, which I have to
point out is the premise of every Oceans eleven movie ever, right,
And so we haven't even solved the basic issues there.
But then there's something that's larger at stake and systemic,

(32:32):
and I don't really know how we're going to fix it.
I would love your take is that, you know, Democrats
have created this winner take all situation and the nationalized
every election, which means now people in Malibu and Silicon
Valley can pour millions into local races, right, regions should
pick their own representative. They I mean, if you live
in Malibu and your barber Strice, and you get to

(32:53):
pick your telephone your representatives, and that is your god
given right and by our constitution you get to do it.
But I don't think it's right that we pour millions.
They encourage people from out of state, move into state,
vote for it, bring your money here, overturn so we
can take over the country and finish off what we
started in California, because I mean, if you look at California,
they always say that, like if they could just get

(33:15):
rid of those custy Republicans and raise taxes enough, you'd
have utopia. We don't have utopia. We have like people
living in trash forts, fifty to one hundred people in
all these villages, you know. And COVID's not a problem there.
I don't know why. But all of us have to
set our businesses down, stay home, and if Georgia goes,
we're going to be rascid trouble. Yeah, you're right about that.

(33:36):
The consolation, Edward is, for example, exactly as you were
describing it, is what happened in South Carolina. They wanted
to take out Lindsay Graham because he basically gone ahead
and schedule the hearings that put Amy Coney Barrett on
the Supreme Court. So they wanted to take him out.
So Barbara streisand sitting in Malibu, gave money to take

(33:59):
out Lindsay am in South Carolina. And in the end
the polls showed he was in huge trouble, he was outspent.
There is no conservative Barbara streisand to give an equivalent
amount of money to Lindsey Graham. And yet in the
end Lindsay Graham won by ten points in South Carolina
because South Carolinians liked him, so it didn't matter that

(34:21):
Barbara Streisand didn't like him. And there is an element
of that here in Georgia. Every single there's no point
giving money now because every single bit of airtime on
TV and radio has been purchased. To get an AD
on the air. Now, you can give money, but to
get an AD on the air, you've got to get
to two or three states away because every single second

(34:43):
of airtime that can be bought has been bought. And
they know that Barbara Streisand attacking Lindsay Graham doesn't do it.
What they did learn, what they know very well, is
that stealing the election does it. And I think that's
that's the difference. You're right, there's a big problem in
letting the Barbara Streisand's waste their money. But in a sense,

(35:09):
Barbara threw away her money in South Carolina, and if
the Democrats pull this thing out in Georgia, it will
be by all the usual stuff that you mentioned, the
burst water pipes, the Lamo Oceans twenty seven plot twist
that everybody saw coming for sequels earlier. So there are

(35:30):
there are problems, Edward, but you know it's it's a
whole mass systemic problem with American elections, and I want
to talk about that that deserves a slightly more considered answer.
Are you in Mexico for the whole new year? Edward? Yeah,
just for the weekend. You know, came first spot and

(35:51):
from freedom. Okay, don't do anything culturally appropriative, like where
a sombrero and post it to Instagram, because you will
be canceled, you'll be out of work, you'll be haven't,
you won't be able to you'll you'll you'll just never
hear the end of that. So don't do any cultural
appropriation and report back to us next week. Because missus

(36:14):
Alec Baldwin didn't know the word cucumber, so you report
back to us on the Spanish word for cucumber. Thank you, Edward.
We got lots more straight ahead, Mark Stein in for
Rush on the very last edition of America's number one
radio show for twenty twenty. Twenty twenty one is already

(36:35):
here in Asia and the Pacific. We're looking back and
looking forward, lots more straight ahead. Yes, America's hanker Man
is away and this is your eib anchor Baby, thrilled
and honored to be sitting in the Attila the hun chair.

(36:57):
Don't forget. If you want to send a New Year
gre eating to Rush, he'd love to hear from you,
and you can do it by Gina Rushlimbor dot com
and you'll see the button. It's like a one two
three four. It's above the big banner that says the
Rush Limbo Show. And you click on that button and
you can leave a special message for Rush. You can

(37:20):
say mega prayers, you can wish him a happy new year.
As he told us just a few days ago when
he was given his diagnosis eleven months ago, basically he
said he did not expect to be here for November's
election or for Christmas, and he's here to see in
twenty twenty one. If you'd like to congratulate him on that,

(37:41):
go to Rushlimbor dot com and leave Rush a special message.
It's a miserable new Year. They're going to do this
whole stupid dropping the ball thing in Times Square with
nobody in Times Square. It's going to be deserted. There's
going to be like twelve frontline healthcare workers present in
Times Square for when they dropped the ball. But they're

(38:04):
going to go ahead with it. Anyway, How lame is
that if you're looking for something to do or New
Year's Eve and there's nothing going on in your town,
there's nothing going on in your county, there's nothing going
on in your state. Well, I can tell you where
there is something going on if you've If you want
to know why Elizabeth Warren spent her entire adult life
pretending to be a Cherokee Indian, it wasn't just so

(38:27):
that she could become the first woman of calor at
Harvard Law School. It's also because you get to go
to parties that nobody else can go to. Thunder Valley
Casino and Cash Creek Casino Resort in northern California are
throwing huge indoor New Year's Eve bashes tonight, the one

(38:51):
at thunder Valley. This is an indoor event in the
United States in the year of twenty twenty. Last night
at twenty twenty one Under Valley Casino an indoor New
Year celebration with six thousand guests. How can this happen?
Everything in California is shut down. You can't go to

(39:12):
a restaurant, you can't do anything. Well, casino's located on
tribal lands are not obligated to follow state or county
COVID rules. I was talking, I think on TV or
radio sometime in the last couple of weeks about the

(39:33):
University of Michigan issuing a list of words and phrases
you're not allowed to use, and along with very strange
selections like picnic. They said you cann't use the expression
off the reservation because it reminded people of a time
when Indians were put on reservations by the white man

(39:53):
and not permitted to leave those reservations. Well now, well, now,
oddly enough, the situations pletely reversed. It's party time at
thunder Valley Casino, big New Year's Eve party for six
thousand guests, and meanwhile it's the white man in the
non Indian parts of California who cannot leave his home

(40:15):
and cannot go to a big New Year's Eve party.
I said, going back to what Edward was talking about,
I don't know where this thing is going to go.
With this certification of the vote, Josh Hawley has become
the first Senator I believe to say he's going to

(40:37):
challenge the electoral College results. A lot of Congressmen going
to challenge the electoral college results among them friends of
this show, like Louie Gomut from Texas. He's going to
be one of those challenging the electoral college results at
the beginning of next week. And I don't know where

(40:59):
that's going to go, but I would say in the
in the long term, that America's elections need serious fundamental reform,
the big problem, and I don't I don't even want to.
One of one of the advantages the Left has when
there's a scandal is that the scandal becomes too complicated

(41:19):
for anybody to follow. And that's true with a lot
of what's gone on. Also, because the system is so complicated,
people always find explanations for it. You know, in Georgia,
they've got video footage of the guys in the counting
room sending the Republicans home, and then when they've left

(41:42):
the room, they pull out these suitcases of votes from
under the table and where, oh, thesis, don't worry about that.
It's perfectly normal in Georgia for votes to be stored
in suitcases. You know, no other, no other civilized society,

(42:02):
and actually quite a few uncivilized societies. No other. We
had a caller on when I was here a couple
of weeks back from South Africa, and he and I
as British corbonwealth types. He's now living in Florida and
this South Africa did, I as British corbonwealth types, were
like horrified and a ghast at that moment when you

(42:24):
witness an American election and you realize it's like nothing
that goes on anywhere in the planet. And it took
a while for me to catch on to it because
I live in New Hampshire. If you go to a
New Hampshire town meeting and you see how elections are
conducted for positions such as sexton or road agent or

(42:48):
any other elected town official in a small New Hampshire town,
you think it's a fantastic system. It couldn't be any clear,
it couldn't be any more democratic, it couldn't be any
more sparent. And then you get to a federal election
and you realize it's just a racket. And I don't
want to talk about dominion voting machines or anything like that.

(43:10):
Dominion voting machines I gather are threatening to sue all
kinds of people who talk about them. But the interesting
thing is that one person who did talk about them
was the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada, who wound up
getting retweeted by President Trump because the Chief Electoral Officer
of Canada said, we don't use these so called Canadian
voting machines in Canada because we have paper ballots. That's

(43:34):
how you vote. You have paper ballots counted by hand.
Anything else is a racket. Now there's a lot of
rubbish in America, and as I said, you know, after
the fact, it's very difficult to get anything done because
essentially the argument of Republicans. And I would say also

(43:56):
that a lot of these briefs. I speak as someone
who's been in permanent litigation for the last ten years,
so I know a little about briefs. And every so
often I'll say to my lawyer, do you mind if
I write the first draft of this, just because I
you know, I quite enjoy it. And I've picked up
a lot of things you should never ask for. You
should never ask for a judge a judge for relief

(44:17):
that he's never going to give, for example. And apparently
some of these people filing briefs on behalf of the
president unaware of some of these basic things. But you're
in a bit of a problem when you're asking for
when you're asking for relief after the fact, because what
essentially what Republicans have done for decades now, in some

(44:41):
places for one hundred and fifty years, like in Philadelphia,
which has been a rotten, corrupt, stinking, crap hole of
electoral process for since the Civil War. Basically and generally speaking,
Republicans have tolerated that because because Democrats have been sporting

(45:02):
enough not to make the theft to brazen, they abandoned
that this year, and Republicans, with their usual naivety, were
surprised by that, but they tolerated this rotten, dirty, stinking, corrupt,
awful system for far too long. And moving moving forward,

(45:23):
that the reason President Trump quoted retweeted the Chief Electoral
Officer of Canada is because there would be no question
of using those machines in a Canadian election. You vote
on paper ballots, and you keep those paper ballots in
case anyone wants a recount. There's countries that have never

(45:46):
had any electoral fraud, like Denmark. Denmark. I went back
through the history of democratic elections in Denmark and they
have had basically no accusation of electoral fraud because they
keep it simple. One way you complicated. You know, we
had all this talk about voter suppression. I saw some

(46:08):
leftier I forget who it was, on TV a couple
of nights ago talking about how, oh, we have these
polling stations and outside you see people standing in line
for five or six hours to vote, and I'm with him,
that's garbage. And the minute you know that's going on,
that's a racket. Where does that happen. It happens in

(46:30):
Democrat run cities or anywhere else, and by anywhere else
on the planet, I don't mean North Korea, but I'm
also not just talking about you know, France or Sweden.
I'm also talking about places like Botswana that, by comparison
with America, run relatively functioning elections. I'll tell you about

(46:54):
what happened when I used to vote in Montreal. You
get a little card, get a little card saying this
is where you go to vote. And the reason you
need to be told where to go to vote is
because there are so many polling stations. So there might
be one at like the church hall four blocks away,
or there might be one at the schoolhouse five blocks away.

(47:16):
So you want to know which one you're supposed to
head to. We don't have enough polling stations in American cities.
That's why you see those long lines. It would be simple.
We spend we're spending a billion dollars on a Senate
election in Georgia, but we don't have the money to
have more polling stations. America spends more money on elections,

(47:39):
takes more time for elections, has two year election campaigns basically,
and then doesn't have enough polling stations. That's a simple reform.
That would mean you wouldn't have all these long lines
out on the street, and that would mean that you
would have again, which is another necessary ingredient of a
democratic election. You cast the votes, you close the polls

(48:02):
at seven o'clock, then everybody counts the votes until they're done.
You don't wait shut down the poll at eleven pm
at night, and then mysteriously unmarked vans with suitcases of ballots,
usb sticks and all the other garbage are being driven
around all over the county, all over the state. That's

(48:25):
third world stuff. That's third world stuff. And Republicans tolerated
this because Republicans are part of the Republicans are well
known as the Stupid Party. Republicans tolerated all this until
the Democrats decided, these losers have put up with this
garbage for so long. They put up with it in

(48:47):
Philadelphia for one hundred and fifty years, and they think
they can handle it. They think they can handle it. Well,
not anymore, because this time they decided to steal the
thing openly. All we're stopping counting at eleven thirty at night.
We'll see in the morning and all through the night,

(49:08):
the unmarked vans with the votes in suitcases, with the
USB sticks being it's all rubbish, paper ballots, more polling stations.
The polls closed at seven pm, eight pm, you count
them until ten pm. You're all done. That said two
dozen counties two months after the election, and two dozen
counties still can't tell you the results. The Democrats ran

(49:31):
the Iowa Caucus. That's what should have in the warning bell.
They ran the Iowa Caucus back whatever it was, last
week in January, first week in February, and still can't
tell you the actual result of that Iowa Caucus. That
should have been a portend of what they had planned
for the rest of us, because that was an all
Democrat operation, paper ballots and more polling stations. It's not difficult,

(49:57):
and the more difficult you try to make it, the
more corrupted is and the more useless Republicans like these
guys in Georgia who go along with it. There no
Republicans are ever gonna win any meaningful election ever. Again.
We will take your cold straight ahead, Mark Stein for
Rush on the EIB network. Let us go to Cindy

(50:21):
in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Cindy, you're live on America's number
one radio show. Great to have you with us. What's
what's on your mind today? Cindy, Mark, you're my favorite
next to Rush. And I just have a message for
the people of Georgia. People of Georgia, you're not just
voting for your state, You're voting for the entire country

(50:42):
and our our fredom. So get off your asses and vote.
No excuses, no tucking tale and rolling over in submission.
You know there's no shame and a possible defeat. The
shame is in not having done your civic duty to
protect and preserve republic. So get out there and vote. Please.

(51:03):
It's not over to the fat lady things. I know
that politically incorrect but and I'm worn, Ran, I'm ready.
So you're you're you're well put? Actually are you? You
remember what you know? There's no what did you say?
There's no shame in defeat. That's that is that is correct.

(51:25):
I think I think my old school song used to
have a line to that effect. But you're absolutely right.
The shame is in not participating. So basically what happens
in Georgia is that you can't complain if you if
you're sitting there and you don't go to the polls.
We know there's going to be a percentage of votes

(51:45):
that are improper, and we know that the dirty, stinking, rotten,
corrupt Georgia Court, presided over by Stacy Abron's dirty, rotten,
stinking corrupt sister, is going to let all those improper
votes stand. So the only way you're going to overcome
that is if actual legitimate voters in Georgia go to

(52:06):
the polls in huge enough numbers to overcome these fake
votes signed off on by Stacy Abram's sister. You're absolutely
right about that, Cindy. You know I pray every day
for them, Mark, and they're a great power in prayer,
and I won't give up the ship no matter what
the outcome, because this country is too great to throw

(52:30):
over to communism. I love it and that's yeah, And
that's exactly what Rush says on the front cover of
the January Limbaugh letdter. You can never you can never
give up on it. And there's a lot of fatalism around.
But as you say, Cindy, the shame, the shame is

(52:51):
in sitting it out. The shame is in sitting it out.
And I can't understand that because because people, just for
the record, people should say you can't steal enough, We're
going to have a high enough turnout that you can't
steal enough. We're going to overcome Stacey abrams sister. Okay,

(53:13):
Stacey Abram's sister. In any functioning court system, a judge
would recuse herself from a suit funded by an organization
controlled by Stacy Abrams. But not in the dirty, stinking, rotten,
corrupt courts of Georgia. They don't do that. So all
you can do is turn out in massive numbers and

(53:33):
overcome that. Cindy, You're absolutely well. And it won't be hidden.
The dirt won't be hidden forever. It will be revealed
at some point, and I want people not to lose heart.
Just keep on. It's an all cliche, but keep on trucking.
Don't give up. That's what they want us to do.
Don't give in, or you'll never be able to live

(53:55):
with yourself. No, that's true. We're being us to do
We're not being asked to do anything that countries around
the world haven't been asked to do. You wake up
one morning and you realize that the corruption has gotten
so bad they've just stolen the defining feature of a
free society away from you. And that is a fair election.

(54:16):
America doesn't have fair elections. We know that just from
your own eyes what was going on. And the way
to resist that is to resist it. Great to be
with you on America's a number one radio show. Rush
will return in twenty twenty one. If you're fed up

(54:38):
with the season of guest hosts and let's face it,
who isn't I was thinking of devoting the last hour
of the show to who is the lamest guest host? NAA,
I'm just I'm just kidding. Believe me. I don't want
any honest calls in response to that. But if you
are fed up with the season a guest host. It
does drag on a bit. I can see that there's

(55:01):
a solution to it, though. You can go to rush
limboard dot com and become a Rush twenty four seven subscribe.
It means what it says. You can get Rush twenty
four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred
and sixty five days of the year. You have access
to an archive like no other in broadcast history. Where basically,

(55:25):
I think I mentioned this a couple of months back,
basically twenty twenty is the centenary of radio. There was
the Marconi Company in England did an experimental broadcast with
an operatic soprano singing a couple of numbers, and then

(55:46):
somebody in Montreal did one where they broadcast some songs
and sketches to the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa. And
then Katie I think it's Kadix say in Pittsburgh started
up and broadcasts the nineteen twenty Warren Harding Republican landslide

(56:08):
results live. Were those were the days, by the way,
nineteen twenty you got the election results on election day,
imagine that, and they were they were able to broadcast
them and give you the results as they came in
and wrap up the election live on the first regular
commercial radio station in Pittsburgh. So we're celebrating the centenary

(56:33):
of the medium this year. And Rush has basically been
number one for a third of the entire history of
American broadcasting. That's absolutely unprecedented. There's nothing like that in
any other field of artistic endeavor, in any other field
of media. It's quite unparalleled. And I hope you know

(56:56):
I sometimes Rush is such a modest person in some ways,
he's quite shy about all his own achievements, and I
just hope he realizes how absolutely extraordinary and unprecedented, not
just in the United States but anywhere on the planet
that is. And you can get access to Rush's huge

(57:17):
unprecedented archive, the old TV show. You can watch him
on the Ditto cam. It's a terrific experience. Go to
Rush limbord dot all. Buy it for a friend. If
you blew Christmas and you loved ones aren't speaking to
you because you've got them rotten gifts, make up for
it with a nice New Year present by going and
getting them a subscription to Rush lymbord dot com. Rush

(57:40):
twenty four seven. Just go to Rush lymbo dot com.
You'll see the Rush twenty four seven button and it'll
all be taken care of for you. This is Mark
stein in for Rush. There are some story We live
in insane times. I love all this talk of healing, healing.
Trump has been a great divider. Trump has been a

(58:00):
great divider. So now Biden's going to heal us all.
There's the reality of this. A Wisconsin healthcare worker at
the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin, purposely removed more
than fifty vials of the MODERNA COVID vaccine from a refrigerator,

(58:22):
rendering them useless, which is hard to imagine. There were
sudden You know, it's forty years ago, but it's that
shouldn't be that long. We're not talking about dramatic changes
in human nature. Maybe we are. Remember when President Reagan
got shot and he was taken into hospital and he's

(58:43):
like joking to the medical staff, I hope you guys
are Republicans. He was making jokes premised on the fact
that if they were Democrats, they might not be so
eager to save his life. And that was a joke
because back then President Reagan was confident that whether they
were Democrats or Republicans, they were first of all doctors

(59:07):
and they would save his life. Now you can be
taken into hospital and some guy will have deliberately ruined
more than five hundred coronavirus vaccine doses intentionally in order
not to save you, but in order potentially to kill you.
Perhaps that may be the hope, That may be the

(59:28):
satisfaction that that guy gets that he causes an uptick
in the corona fatality rate in Grafton, Wisconsin. So you
can't really do that President Reagan joke when you're being
wheeled into the operating room these days, because for all
you know, they might actually want to kill you, like

(59:51):
this guy at the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin.
We live in very bizarre times, you know. One of
the just looking ahead again a bit long term to
all this healing and unity thing, there is actually, I think,

(01:00:12):
and this is this was the genius of the Trump campaign.
Four years ago. There was a chance to break the
old left right divide which has basically been the same
since the French Revolution, and the populism movement showed signs
that it might actually be cracking and we might have

(01:00:36):
a new political realignment. One of the problems with the
Democrat Party is that they increasingly serve a group of
special interests. So if you belong to privileged minority groups,
they'll do certain things for you. So you get your
same sex marriage, you get your open borders, you get

(01:00:57):
your transgender bathrooms, and all the rest of it. The
Republican Party doesn't deliver to its base. The Republican Party
serves the interest of its donors. That's why, for example,
making China the dominant economic power on the planet does
nothing for people who vote Republican, and so the Republicans
who advocate for it. I've never had much interest in

(01:01:18):
Cooke Brothers Republicanism. I'm always I'm in a suit. The
guy invented the climate change hockey stick has been suing
me for whatever it is eight nine years now, a
guy called Michael Mann from Penn State, pathetic vanity lawsuit.
But it's in the incompetent septic tank of DC Justice,

(01:01:39):
so it's chuntering on. It'll be coming up to its
second decade soon. It'll eventually be Michael E. Mann versus
the State of mark Stein. Because I'm not going to
live long enough to see this thing finished. But this
basically he's always accusing me of being in the pay
of the Koke brother I'm not in the Coke brother

(01:02:00):
don't even like Cooke Brothers. Republicanism. They're open borders, Republicans,
Libertarians and all the red. They're not where I am.
And the great thing about the Trump thing is that
he spoke to millions of people whose concerns hadn't been addressed,
who just had to sit there as the mill closed

(01:02:22):
and the factory closed, and there was nothing to do
in town because all the jobs were in China now,
and the only jobs left for your kids where your
daughter could do the night shift at the quickie crab,
and your son could become a heroin dealer where you
meet a more interesting range of people than you do
at the quickie crab, and that that was all there was.

(01:02:44):
And I thought we were in for a great, a
great realignment. To go back to what Edward was saying
about Barbara streisand sitting there in Malibu and saying, Oh,
I'd really like to take out Lindsey Graham, so thinking
that she knows better to Barbara thinks she knows better
than the people of South Carolina who their Senator ought

(01:03:07):
to be, and they'd be, and they they're openly a
party of elites. They're never going to be interested in
blue collar, working class Russbelt voters ever again. And meanwhile
you have the Republican The Republican Party, which is basically
a party of dot was a party of donors until

(01:03:29):
Trump came along. You know, they would raise a lot
of money from their donors. And then Trump came along
and actually exposed that you don't need donors. You can
have a hundred million dollars like Jeb Bush, and you
can burn a hundred million dollars. He would have actually
had more fun burning it. Instead he threw it at
Iowa and got two point four percent. People wanted a

(01:03:50):
wider choice. People are not. People are dissatisfied with the
choices they get. People are dissatisfied with this choice. In Georgia, frankly,
they understand that they have to do it. They have
to get these guys over the finish line, because otherwise
they're gonna these these uh the Democrats will control the Senate.

(01:04:12):
They'll make DC a state, They'll make Puerto Rico a state.
They'll make Hellmand province in Afghanistan estate because we've been
running around there for twenty years. So it's like kind
of like America anyway, isn't it. Why can't they be
a state too? What about the Sunni Triangle in Iraq?
We got we still got guys there after twenty years.

(01:04:34):
Why don't we make their mistake too? This is this
is what democrats will do because they exercise power seriously
and all the time. This actual Georgia thing is a
microcosm of what's wrong with our approach to it. Oh,
vote for us, and we'll hold the line. Oh okay, okay,
if I have to. But for God's sake, that's not enough.

(01:04:57):
That's not enough. In the end, I want to do
something more than hold the line. And you don't really
hold the line anyway. It just means you surrender incrementally.
You're pushed back inch by inch by inch by inch
by inch. I'd actually like you not to hold the
line and take some of the enemy's turf, take some
of our opponent's turf once in a while. Would it
be too much to ask for a party that could

(01:05:19):
do that? And at some point, when this Georgia thing
is actually very quickly, when this Georgia thing is over,
because then we're going to have the following day, we're
going to have all this stuff with Louis Gomeut and
the other guys objecting to the Electoral College, the vay
next day, and a day or three after that. We
need to actually start seriously thinking about where we where

(01:05:44):
the base. And it's easier in free societies. It's easier
for the base to get itself a new elite than
for the elite to get itself a new base. In
the end, even Mitch McConnell needs needs us more than
we need him. And so once you understand the realities

(01:06:07):
of that power, once this Georgia things over, we need
to think seriously where we take all that. Mark stein
In for USh at the Golden EIB microphone, always in honor,
will take your calls on this last of the year,
straight ahead, Mark stein In for Rush on the excellence
in broadcasting and network. Let us go to the Emerald Dial,

(01:06:31):
not the Emerald Dial as in poor beleagued Ireland, as
I was mentioning last hour, but the municipality of Emerald
Dial in North Carolina. Doug is on America's number one
radio show, Happy New Year, Doug, What's on your mind.
Happy New Year, Martin. Thanks for taking McCall mark. I'm

(01:06:52):
kind of a simple guy, but I got a question
when when we had when we had ten fifteen people
across the country, it's sick with let us, and another
fifteen or twenty got sick with asparagus. They pulled all
the lettus and all the asparagus off the shelves, and
nobody could get this stuff because it was painted. Well,

(01:07:13):
all of a sudden we got all these stinking, rotting
ballots and all these states. If we're gonna yank yet,
let us in asparagus for ten fifteen cases of people
not dying but getting sick. I'm sick to my stomach
and solord of millions of other Americans about how this
election and needed all of a sudden these ballots appeared.

(01:07:35):
I mean, yeah, they should. They should throw these ballots out.
Let's start all over again. Listen to let us and asparagus.
People had to photos that that stuff away. Let's throw
this stuff away and let's start all over. And like
you said, let's use a paper ballot. Let's get rid
of the voting machine, and let's have real people, real
joint Republicans and Democrats. Let's have them sit down together

(01:07:57):
and counting the ballots together. Oh you know, yeah, it
isn't actually hard. It's only, as I was saying last now,
it's only because it's been over complicated here. But you're
you're lettuce an asparagus analogy, Doug is actually quite right,
because that's true. Uh, six or seven people get sick,

(01:08:17):
and they recall that product off every supermarket shelf in
the land, and they do that all the time. Yeah. Yeah,
people get sick and one person gets a splinter from
toilet paperback guy, you want filet paper anywhere? No, but

(01:08:38):
I'm sorry, no, no, you're you're absolutely right. That's what's
interesting here is that the the judges and the media
take the opposite view that they say, oh, you know, well, okay, yes,
there were three hundred fordulent votes or there's eight hundred
dead people voting in this county, but it wasn't enough

(01:08:58):
to change the result of the election. And so they're
basically that's the equivalent of basically saying, well, okay, yes,
some people got sick and died from this toxic cum quot,
but unless the toxic cum quot kills fifty one percent
of the population. We're not interested in recalling it. So

(01:09:21):
you're you're absolutely right. They don't bother saying okay, but
ninety nine point nine nine of these letters is legitimate.
They basically say they're all going to go in the
trash here here, absolutely disgracefully, American judges and American secretaries

(01:09:42):
of state and American governors think that there's an acceptable
level of fraud. They say, Okay, yeah, there was fraud,
but it wasn't we we don't know that it was
a lot of fraud. We know there was some fraud,
and we're okay with some fraud. That's how this garbage starts.
And as you say, it's very different when price Chopper

(01:10:04):
tries to do that. Doug, You're exactly right, Mark. And
another thing is that it doesn't since this doesn't fit
their narrative, they're not interested. But trust me, if Trump
would have won, and there would have fact, they would
have found ten ballots somewhere in some creeks that were

(01:10:24):
from j Biden, they would have wanted to have the
whole thing, throw it away and start all over. But
here we've got hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ballots
that are not just wrong, but I mean not just questionable,
but totally wrong. And these these suitcases coming out from
under tables after everybody leaves, and ballots being found in

(01:10:47):
trash cans and creeks and rivers. If that, if that
doesn't stink mark, if that doesn't say hey, look we
need to do something. And I am so glad that
it is. Isn't it a Senator Holly that's gonna raise
an objection? Yeah it is. Yeah, he's going to raise it.

(01:11:07):
Good for him. And if and what makes me so
dag on Matt is all the other Republicans that are
sitting by saying why is he doing that? Why is
he doing that? Trump had absolutely zero backing from his
Republican constituents. Uh, you know that. It's appalling to me.

(01:11:29):
You're absolutely right, Doug. Thank you for making that point.
And the last bit is important too, Josh Howley shouldn't
be some weird fringe figure in objecting to this. You know,
if you're a so called moderate Republican, if you're Mitt Romney,
if you're Susan Collins, if you're one of these reach
across the aisle types, they're planning this for you. Two

(01:11:53):
Every Republican should look at what has gone on in
these so called six dispute States swing States and be
absolutely ashamed of making a glorious quarter millennium Republic a
laughing stock to the planet in its inability to conduct elections.

(01:12:14):
We'll be back in a moment America's number one radio show.
We got a final hour still to come. Yes, it's
the very last hour of the Rush Limbo Show for
the stinkingly rotten year of twenty twenty. It's already twenty

(01:12:38):
twenty one. In the Chatterm Islands and Lord how Island
if you don't know where they are. One of them's
part of New Zealand, one of them's part of Australia.
They're both rather nice. The Chatterm Islands, if I remember correctly,
has a quarter hour time zone. We know that like

(01:13:01):
in North America, Newfoundland is on a it's an hour
and a half ahead of Eastern Time. It's on a
half hour time zone. It's the basically it's the oldest
Canadian joke that the world will end at midnight twelve
thirty in Newfoundland, but they take it to the next
level at the Chatham Islands. They got quarter hour time
zones Nepaul. Nepaul is also a quarter hour time zone,

(01:13:25):
and in fact, I believe it's already twenty twenty one
in Catman do now it is. To all my friends
in India, in Delhi and Bombay, it is already twenty
twenty one, and we are expecting it to be twenty
twenty one in about ten hours here, unless the all
powerful Foucy decides that it is not safe to let

(01:13:50):
us move on to twenty twenty one, and he wants
to keep us quarantined in twenty twenty four, two or
three extra months. Meanwhile, the New York Post reports that
a nurse has been suspended after stripping off the PPE,
the personal protective equipment, to have sex with a COVID

(01:14:11):
nineteen positive patient. And I was wondering where this was,
Whether this was in one of New York's many afflicted
old folks homes where the blood drenched Governor Cuomo has
dispatched so many infected persons, But in fact it's in Asia.

(01:14:33):
It's in Indonesia under the Central Jakarta Police. The nurse
has now been arrested. He's a male nurse and he
had he stripped out of his PPE to have sex
in a toilet. This is in a Muslim country, by way,
So this guy has taken a few risks to have
sex in a toilet with a man infected with COVID nineteen.

(01:14:56):
And then, as I don't know whether you do this,
when you have sex in a toilet, it's such fun
to like post it to Instagram and What's app and
all the rest of it afterwards, So this guy posted
to social media shots of him having sex in a
toilet with the COVID nineteen patient and the ppe lying

(01:15:17):
on the floor as they got it on together. And
I only mentioned this obviously for medical reasons, public health reasons. Afterwards,
the two guys were given a new coronavirus tests, and
the COVID positive patient was still COVID positive while the
male nurse getting it making the beast with two backs

(01:15:42):
that's what Shakespeare called. Actually, I don't think it is
the beast with two backs necessarily in this case, but
however they were doing it, the nurse still remained negative.
That's from the New York Post today. I want to
go back to what we were talking about just at
the end of the last hour, this business of nobody

(01:16:05):
wanting to go near the election fraud, and so God
bless Josh Hawley and the significant numbers. I think it's
over one hundred now of Republican Congressman in the House
who have decided to object on the sixth. You've got

(01:16:26):
to do this on mass because obviously nobody in state legislatures,
and nobody in state courts, and nobody in the Supreme
Court has decided that they have the courage to confront this.
Because it's not just that there's going to be riots
outside your particular court house or your particular legislature, but

(01:16:47):
the mob is going to be at your door. They'll
find out where you live, or they'll find out where
your children go to school, and they will be there.
So discretion is the better part of valor, to put
it mildly, for a lot of these guys. But I
would actually be in I find it so unpersuasive this
idea that, oh, well, yes, that it's not an exact science.

(01:17:11):
There may have been some fraud, but the fraud wasn't
enough to change the election. Okay. I would like to
have actually had a ruling from Chief Justice Roberts Bench
on what is the acceptable percentage of fraud in an
American election. I would think that would that's actually an

(01:17:34):
that's actually an important enough issue to get some clarity
from the highest court in the land. There's nine judges.
I would have been interested to know what five of
those judges could have come up with as an acceptable
level of fraud in an American election. It would be
nice to have some clarifying jurisprudence on this from their

(01:18:00):
various honors. But instead they booted that Texas case, and
that told us that even on the highest court in
the land, there is there's actually basic I would say,
a basic cowardice from confronting what is the defining issue.

(01:18:21):
Doesn't really matter if you have courts, doesn't really matter
if you have elections. If those elections are not fair
and cannot be appealed to the particular authority to determine
the outcome, then there's no real point to it. So
I think I think they were wrong to boot it.

(01:18:41):
But I also learned something else from that. I I said,
when I was here during the Amy Coney Barrett stuff,
do you know she's got nothing against it? It It seems
a perfectly nice lady and generally quite sound on a
lot of the issues. But here's the problem for Republicans.
When you're when you're betting the farm on Joe Udges,
you're basically playing on defense. The fact is Democrats a

(01:19:07):
kind of relax about this. They're they're threatening to pack
the court, and they may well pack the court, but
they generally take the view that Republicans obsess about the
court because they lose everywhere else, and the courts your
final backstop. So you say, okay, well this has gone.
That's gone. We've lost this, we've lost that, but don't worry.

(01:19:30):
The Supreme Court will get five guys who will come
up come through for us on the Supreme Court. When
you do that, you're already playing defense. So we should
actually again it comes back to the hold the line thing,
or don't worry. We'll get Amy Coney Barrett on to
the Supreme Court. And so even though we've largely lost

(01:19:52):
Chief Justice Roberts, the rock ribbed originalist, even though we've
largely lost him, we've got Amy Coney Barrett. So it
ought to be a six three court, but it'll still
be a five four court because John Roberts has wandered
off the reservation. As you're not a lad to say anymore.
But the whole thing is looking at the world upside down.

(01:20:16):
When you when you're obsessed, when you're dependent on a
judge to hold your constitutional republic together, you're you're playing defense.
You've already largely lost it. And as we've seen, it's
asking a lot in an age when people, the mob

(01:20:36):
can be outside your house in minutes. It's actually asking
a lot to require five people to have such integrity
that they will that they will stand in opposition to
the prevailing winds of the culture like that. So so

(01:20:56):
betting everything on judges. And again we're told you know
or you say what you like about McConnell. McConnell's an
expert parliamentarian. He doesn't really he gets all those Trump
judges through. There's fifty judges. There's fifty judge vacancies that
will if Biden takes over and if these two guys win.

(01:21:21):
In Georgia, there's fifty judge vacancies waiting to be filled
by the United States Senate that are unfilled basically because
McConnell let the Democrats flim flam him on that fifty.
Some of these judge ships vacant judge ships, lower court,
lower federal judge ships have been unfilled since four years

(01:21:44):
ago because some Democrats senator filed a blue slip, which
is something some ancient parliamentary procedure of no meaningful, substantive significance.
It's just the sort of courtly gentleman's thing where somebody
objects to somebody from the judge's state objects to him

(01:22:08):
being being nominated because he used to be because he
had unpaid gambling debts or some personal flaw like that
which was a disqualifier, and so you could object if
you were from the same state as that judge. The
Democrats did what they always do because they're serious about power,
and they weaponized it. So there are now fifty judgeships

(01:22:32):
that have been unfilled by McConnell, and which if things
go badly in Georgia, the Democrats will get to fill.
So I'd like us to back up a bit from
all this. Judges, Judges, judge, screw the judges. A judge's
republic is a contradiction in terms. There should be no

(01:22:54):
such thing. You've got to win out in win in reality,
and you can't surrender all the language because when you
surrender all the language, then you have bait you're talking
in leftist bromides, Oh, count every vote. Then you get
so called Republicans like this guy Barosso in Wyoming, surrendering

(01:23:14):
the language and saying, oh, yes, let's lower our carbon footprint.
So eventually the only language left becomes Democrat language. So
you're framing critical issues what should be normal public policy
issues like immigration, law enforcement, whatever you want to talk about,

(01:23:37):
you start talking about them in leftist terms. You're disarming yourself.
When you surrender the language, you're disarming yourself. You're basically saying,
I'm I'm going naked into the arena. All the words
that mean anything the Democrats tell me I can't use anymore.
So I'm just going to use Democrat words and lose.

(01:23:58):
And then you say, but don't worry. Worry. Okay, we
may we may lose this, and we may lose that,
but we're going to expend all our energies getting this
judge to sit on this bench, and that judge will
save us. And in this case, we had it like
fast track. Oh, Amy Coney Barrett Trump, Trump is putting
an Amy Coney Barrett stooge. He's putting his stooge to

(01:24:21):
do his bidding. On the High Court and then ten
minutes later, naw, I'm not interested in this Texas case.
How many times you have to get suckered if you
talk about judges or judges, judges, judges, judges, you're already
playing defense and it's like hold the line in Georgia.
I would like you, guys in the Republican Party, everybody

(01:24:44):
gives money to you, go to go to Georgia Center,
runoff dot com. Now go to Supreme Court nomination dot com.
Now send money, now, send money now, whatever money you've got,
send it to us to hold the line. Enough with
the holding the line, I'd like you to actually win something.
I'd like you to take some of the enemies tough.

(01:25:07):
I'd like you to actually move the ball down the field.
Is that too much to ask? Okay, we'll do it
for Georgia. We'll do it. We'll do this hold the
line garbage till January the sixth. But after that, I'll
want some guys who will move the ball down the field.
Mark signed for Rush. Your calls straight ahead the last

(01:25:28):
Rush Limbo show of twenty twenty. Let's go to Mark
in Westerville, Ohio. You're up next on America's number one
radio show, Happy New Year, Mark, Great have you with us?
Happy New Year to Mark. My question for you is
that if you remember, there was a new Postmaster General
and there was conjecture of fraud with him. They had

(01:25:49):
weeks of news of sorting machines, drop off locations. They
pulled him in for conferences and question him. Then after
the election there was nothing. They say, now there's no
evidence of fraud. So my question for you is like,
what do they have to lose, What do they have
to lose? Why is it okay for the public to

(01:26:09):
put up with such obvious hypocrisy of investigations before the
election but not afterwards. Yeah, the whole thing was that
Trump had gone to war against the United States Postal Service,
and they were all talking about him actually having these
drop boxes carted away, and that all mysterious, as it

(01:26:33):
often does with these things, that all mysteriously went away
once things had gone the Democrats way. And so now now,
I mean, these idea of drop boxes, this idea of
just leaving boxes on the street for people to vote
is crazy. Crazy. This whole way we conduct the election
is crazy. They basically weaponize the COVID as a means

(01:26:57):
of quashing self government. That's what they did, and then
now said, all, relax, what's the problem. Count every vote?
Count votes of people who were born before the Civil War,
Count votes of people who are citizens of other countries.
Count votes of people who are nine years old. What's

(01:27:17):
wrong with just a few more votes? Just relax, Stop
being so uptied about about any of this, all of
this stuff, And the fact is, the fact is Mark
there are going to be consequences to letting these guys
run everything. And by the way, also we should learn

(01:27:37):
the way they're reacting to this by big tech big tech.
If you if you think something fishy is going on
Georgia and you tweet about it or your Facebook about it,
and they put this health warning on it saying there's
no evidence for this. Everything's on the up and up.
That's the way it's going to be with every single
public policy issue now, where Facebook and Twitter and Instagram

(01:28:00):
and Google and YouTube will increasingly not let you disagree
with the official narrative. I mean that's basically straight out
of George Orwell, there's an official version and you're not
allowed to have an alternative to the official version. But
this idea that we're supposed there's supposed to be something
nice and well, oh look at these Look at this

(01:28:23):
nice little old lady in Michigan. She's one hundred and
thirty seven years old, but she still took the trouble
to get to send in her mail in ballot. Oh
and look at this person here. He's actually a citizen
of on Honduras, but he so loves America that he
wanted to vote in Georgia. I mean, this is garbage.

(01:28:45):
And yet what's disturbing about it. It's not that the
Democrats are on board with it and the media on
board with it, but like the Republican establishment doesn't speak
out about it. Mark, That's what makes me sick. To
be honest, I agree. And my question would be, what
do we have to lose? If you can do it beforehand,

(01:29:07):
it's all conjecture. Now, when we have a little bit
of proof, what do you have to lose? As the
question bring yeah, yeah, now yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, And
the silence of the Republican lambs is about the most
distressed because they think, oh, you know, if we just

(01:29:28):
be quiet and we go along with this, then we'll
have a shot. In twenty twenty two. What do you
mean you have a shot in twenty two. Actually, I'll
back up a little bit further Mark, just so we're
all clear about where all this nuttiness is going. This
is supposed to be a self governing republic, and so
you elect citizen legislators to legislate. Now we've we've wrecked

(01:29:54):
the election bit. We've so screwed that up. With all
these voting machines and USB sticks. We may there's nothing
we got a USB stick. You can just keep jamming
it in, as we've seen on video in Fulton County, Georgie.
You can just keep jamming in over and over and
over and over. And however many vote two thousand votes

(01:30:14):
that are on that USB stick, you can keep sticking
it in there and counting those votes, feeding it into
the machine multiple times. Then we have If you do
actually elect legislators, then you have six thousand page laws.
That's not a law. No human being can read that law.
It's not legislated by the legislators. It's not even legislated

(01:30:36):
by the legislators staffers. It's written by lobbyists. And they
only know that they got theirs. They know the page
or two they wrote and nobody knows anything else what's
in that law. This is a disgrace. We are in
a post constitutional order. I hear a lot of guys
talking about the constitution. A six thousand page law is

(01:30:58):
post constitution. Great to be with you on New Year's Eve,
as the stroke of midnight makes its way from the
Pacific to Asia, to Africa and Europe and will soon
be here in the United States, there is a lady

(01:31:18):
called Abigail Cowwananako who is ninety four, lives in Hawaii,
and is in fact a princess. She's a descendant of
the Hawaiian royal family that ruled the kingdom until they
were overthrown in eighteen ninety three. And she's managed to
get a one hundred forty two thousand dollars per whatever

(01:31:41):
it's called, the Paycheck Protection Program loan, one hundred forty
two thousand dollars from this COVID PPP thing that's supposed
to go to pay employees of diners and gas stations
and what have you. She's managed to get one hundred
forty two grand to pay her personal staffers. Because her

(01:32:04):
two hundred and fifteen million dollar fortune is tied up
in a legal dispute. She's ninety four years older Hawaiian princess,
and she got one hundred and forty two grand from
the p p P to pay her nine personal staffers.
Don't let Meghan Markle in now living in Beverly Hills

(01:32:25):
with the poor old Prince Harry. Don't let Meghan Markle
here about this because those two have been kicked off
Granny's payroll. And if they find out you can get
taxpayers money to pay for your personal staff as Megan's
going to be in on that deal. I just want
to quickly mention mister Snadley always goes on at me

(01:32:47):
if I don't self promote until the third hour. Now
I'm in the third hour, an I'm self promoting. We
have a Markstein cruise next year. A lot of people
enjoy always get a lot of rush listeners on the cruise.
It's vacant, vivial. I notice people in Blue states particularly
enjoy it because they don't have to guard their tongues

(01:33:07):
while where at sea. You can go find out more
mark Stein Cruise dot com. We will be cruising Europe,
hitting all the great spots Rome, Carter, Jaina, Gibraltar and
that's not the Carter Jenna where the Secret Service has
the Carter Jenna Hookers. It's a different Carter Jenna. Marseille,

(01:33:27):
Monte Carlo. Great fun and we always have lots of
good guests and special guests for you as well. You
can find out more by going to mark stein Cruise
dot com. It's always fun to meet Rush listeners on
that cruise, and I hope we'll have a good turnout

(01:33:48):
from Rush fans on this year's cruise. Let us go
to John in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. Great to have
you with us. Happy New Year, John, Happy New Year
to you, Mark. Thank you for taking my call, sir listen.
I just want to say how discussed that I am
with the as you called it so well unit party

(01:34:09):
that we have now in Washington, DC. I really am
absolutely amazed at the composity, if you want to call
it that, of these people who have had their hands
in until so deep it's up to their armpits, and
they can't seem to get the testicular fortitude to come
forward and speak up for President Trump and our republic.

(01:34:35):
And I am only known of two or three, maybe
four Republicans that are actually sticking to the conservative message
and the message that we have to save our republic absolutely.
And when you talk about saving the republic, we now
have an all powerful state micro presuming to have the

(01:34:58):
power to micro regulation every aspect of life, including core
fundamental First Amendment liberties like the right to freedom of
speech and the right to freedom of religion, and the
right to freedom of movement and the right to freedom
of association. We have a state that says, sorry, we

(01:35:19):
locked you down for two weeks in March, and for
some reason, the two weeks has dragged on until New
Year's Eve. But you're still forbidden to do your job.
You're still forbidden to go to church, you're still forbidden
to take your family to go and eat a cheeseburger
in a diner. And yet this dirty, rotten, corrupt uniparty

(01:35:39):
And they say to us, well, you know, COVID, COVID,
COVID is this is like being at war where you
have to make extraordinary sacrifices. Well, Rand Paul and a
couple of others are right, If the citizen they have
to make extraordinary sacrifices, then why don't the uniparty? Why
why do we say, oh, yes, you're broke, you've lost

(01:36:00):
your business, you're stuck at home. Your parents died untouched
by by anybody human in one of Andrew Cuomo's disgusting
long term care facilities. But at the same time, we're
not going to give up on our racket of giving
seven hundred million dollars to sue Dan. Why is it

(01:36:21):
only the citizens that have to make sacrifices and not
the Washington uniparty John, Yeah, the last time I look,
they work for us. And the last time I also
read on where why are we passing a bill to
continue the government? Why are we giving them their paychecks?

(01:36:42):
You know, I know, yeah, hit in the bucket what
they get paid compared to what they're taken from the
chicoms and everywhere else that they have their their fantastic
paychecks coming from. But you know what, they need to
suffer as well. They need to be in the trenches
with us because we are there, boys, and we are
forgetting that. And that's the only way that the only

(01:37:04):
way to take care of this. I've said to my
friends and I've said to my family, the fight is
we the people. Were we the people, We should have
more power than we are showing them that we have
because we're backing up. We're putting these muzzles on. They're
our masks, they're muzzles. They're telling us we can't go

(01:37:26):
to church, can't meet with our people on our family
on Christmas. That's so we don't talk with one another
and say wait a minute, I'm against this, and we
don't have a group talk, and then we don't have
a peaceful protest talk anymore because everybody's scared at death.
Yeah no you yeah no, you know and and and
the difference is it's like it's like we the people.

(01:37:50):
They've divided the people into the essential people and the
non essential people. Van Morrison, the Great Van Morrison, Savan
Morris and the Sage of Northern Ireland made this point
in a tweet I think it was last week, where
he pointed out in response to some UK thing about

(01:38:11):
essential workers, frontline healthcare, whatever it was, he said, we
are not all in this together. If you're a government worker,
you haven't lost a penny. If you are, on the
other hand, some musician who happens to play in the
group that backs Van Morrison, you haven't made You haven't
made a penny since march, it's over for you. And

(01:38:34):
the fact that so the fact that the burden is
not being fairly distributed. The fact is if you're a
bureaucrat and we've had this, and it's even worse here
actually because at least you know, anklea Merkel knows that
it looks good to actually vaccinate an old person. So

(01:38:54):
she finds some Spanish flu survivor who's one hundred and
two year old, one hundred two years old and gives
her the shot. Here, we just have this weird thing
where we're showing bureaucrats and politicians and political staffers. You know,
they're taking care of themselves. We're not all in this together.
And so when you say, oh, mister politician, mister senator,

(01:39:17):
mister congressman, you say, oh, this is war, you've got
to make sacrifice, or even worse, when it's just some
bureaucrat for life like Fauci, Oh, you've got to make sacrifices.
You've got it's like a war. You've got to make
well in a war, you don't normally if it's a war,
then take it to the enemy, which is basically the
chi coms, and don't take it to your own people.

(01:39:37):
What kind of war? Who needs to be conquered by
a foreign power? Drive through Minneapolis, Drive through Portland, Drive
through small suburban communities where the nice little coffee shop
has closed, the Italian restaurant has closed, for hair salonas closed. Yeah,
who needs? Who needs foreign enemies? When the ruling class

(01:39:59):
is willing to do the to its own people. That's
what's disgraceful about this thing. And I mean that phrase
the uniparty because I don't I don't like the rhetoric
coming out of these Republicans. These guys, Oh, these guys,
it's almost like they're pleased that they're moving back to
the pre Trump Republican Party. And I ain't going back

(01:40:21):
there with them. So if that's the plan, you're going
to have to come up with another one, because I
think there's like a lot of those seventy four seventy
five million people are not going to be going back
to that pre Trump Republican party. Mark stein In for
rush On in the in the dying embers of twenty
twenty and twenty twenty cannot die fast enough. I do

(01:40:45):
not know what twenty twenty one will bring. There is
there is talk of the Great Reset. All these globalists,
the Davos jet set, the ones flying in their private
planes to Davos and making plans for the rest of
us far below as they fly above us at thirty

(01:41:08):
thousand feet, They've all settled on this phrase, the Great Reset,
the Great Reset. In other words, it's not just it's
not it's not enough just to have a lousy pandemic
that's killing people. We we have to use that lousy
pandemic to construct an entirely different kind of society. And

(01:41:31):
if you haven't terribly much enjoyed the last nine months,
that's basically the model they're using for the Great Reset.
It's a thing. All the privileged people flying around, jetting
around in their planes, going to meet at Davos, all
the clever people, all the ones who know what's best

(01:41:54):
for us, not just the politicians, but the Zuckerbergs and
the weird who runs Twitter and all that guy, all
those kind of guys. The Great Reset. It sounds well, no,
it doesn't actually sound nice, does it. Who the hell
elected these guys to reset the planet. They're not done

(01:42:15):
with us, They're not done with us, and they're making
plans for twenty twenty one that is that is seriously
gonna make a lot of this rubbish permanent. Mark Stein
in for us, Thank you for that, Paul. We need,
we need, actually to demand if you're going to run

(01:42:36):
as a conservative, if you're going to raise money as
a conservative, it's not enough. Then to sit back and
like Barosso in Wyoming, as Rush was complaining about last week,
then get elected and suddenly start talking like a Democrat.
It's not enough. If it's not enough, and you should
be punished for that. You deserve to be punished for that.

(01:42:57):
We got one guy. That's some guy who wanted to
get rid of Lumbus day and I think I lost
control a little talking about him, and I gather he
backed off on that a week or two after that.
It's not enough. It's you take our money, you take
our votes, and then you talk like Democrats. Well nuts

(01:43:18):
to that. Enough with holding the line. Serious conservative leaders
like Reagan and Thatcher move the line. You don't hold
the line, you move the line into your opponent staff
Mark Stein for us. The dia Embers of twenty twenty
and the last Rush limbo show of the year, we

(01:43:39):
got more straight ahead. Hey, it's twenty twenty, so anything
can happen. A vicious squirrel is terrorizing queens in New York.
It's like an mm A cage match, and this violent,
aggressive creature has left Queen's Residence afraid to leave their homes.

(01:44:01):
It's not just the COVID, it's not just the Antifa.
It's not just the teenagers who trashed that BMW in
broad daylight on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It's now a
killer squirrel who just runs up your leg and left
Queen's Resident Michelin Frederick the latest victim. She sustained eight

(01:44:26):
bites and numerous scratches, including at least one on her neck.
There is no end to this stuff. It's no secret.
It's been a tough year for us at the EIB network.
It is basically eleven months since Rush received his terrible

(01:44:46):
cancer diagnosis. You heard him talk about that last week,
and shortly after receiving that diagnosis, very shortly, he told
all of you who are the most important people to
him other than his family, Because the connection that Rush
has with his audience is like nothing, absolutely nothing that

(01:45:11):
is that it has ever been in radio. And he's
the mayor of Realville. He's been totally upfront about this,
painfully upfront for those of us listening last week when
he said he didn't expect to be here for this Christmas,
but he has stuck it out for us and the message,

(01:45:31):
his New Year message, his message for January twenty twenty
one is that front cover of the Limball letter never
give up on America. And I am so tired of this.
Rush is a man who is in great pain, who
is undergoing severe medical treatment, and yet he is more

(01:45:52):
strength than perfectly healthy so called conservatives. And I cannot
express enough my admiration for how Rush has conducted himself
this last terrible eleven months. We're going to close it
out in just a moment now. I'd like to thank
not just Ali and Crash and mister Snerdley for taking

(01:46:16):
care of today's show. I would also like to say
a word about an old acquaintance we lost this year,
and that is Walter Williams, who is no question, the
most beloved guest host in the history of the Rush
Limbus Show. And he taught me a lot. Walter was

(01:46:38):
a lovely man, and he taught me a lot about
what it means to be a guest host and He
died a few weeks ago, and we shall miss him.
An old acquaintance we shall never forget here on the
EIB network. It has been a terrible year, a stinker

(01:46:59):
of the year, not a year we thought we would
ever have when we came in on January the first,
twenty twenty. But you know, things go bad and things
go good, but one thing is constant. This is America's
number one radio show and the indispensable man Rush Limbour

(01:47:22):
is going to return for some first footing in the
new year. Rush back in twenty twenty one. Happy New
year to you all.
