If you note that I sound somewhat frustrated, you would not be incorrect, because none of this is news. All of us are caught up in the middle of never-ending political agendas, but it’s disguised as news. We’re being told that this is news. “This is earth-shattering, breaking news! Why, we had no idea this was coming,” and that’s not at all what any of this is. This is all prepackaged. It’s preplanned.
It’s been edited and formatted, and it’s been timed. It has everything about it designed to move forward a political agenda. But everybody involved in that’s saying, “No, no! There’s nothing going on here. We just have an honorable guy who’s very, very worried about the country and wants to set the record.” If he wants to set the record straight, why did he wait a year and do it for millions of dollars? If he cares so damn much about this.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, here we go, folks game on same old, same old,
same formulas. So the bad guys put out a book
that excoriates, impunes, defames the president. The drive by media
pick it all up and promote it, try to make
(00:20):
it look like everybody in the country agrees with it.
And we have to come in here and once again
unpack it all and tell people what's actually true and
what's really going on. And the cycle just keeps repeating.
(00:41):
It's become a formula, it's become predictable. Bad guys write
a book, bad guys go on TV, drive by, circle
the wagons, amplify, lie, distort whatever. We've got to spend
all of our time defending the garbage all in us
posed battle for the hearts and minds of the American voter.
(01:07):
And so we're here and that's what's on the agenda.
It's great to have you with us. Open Line Friday,
we go to the phones. Anything you want to talk about,
have at it telepone number eight hundred to eight to
eight to the email address ll rushbo at eib net
dot com. If you note that I sound somewhat frustrated,
you would not be incorrect, because none of this is
(01:27):
news where all of us are caught up in the
middle of never ending political agendas. Uh, but it's disguised
as news. We're being told that this is news, this
is earth shattering breaking news. Why we had no idea
this was coming. And that's not at all what any
of this is. This is all prepackaged, and it's pre planned.
(01:50):
It's been edited and formatted, and it's been timed. It
has everything about it designed to move forward a political agenda.
But everybody involved in that's like, no, no, there's nothing
going on here. We just have an honorable guy who's very,
very worried about the country and wants to set the records.
If he wants set the records, right, why did he
(02:11):
wait a year and do it for millions of dollars
if he cares so damn much about this? Anyway, yesterday,
my friends, I spoke about the concept of two Americas,
at least two America's, and I want to illustrate exactly
what I'm talking about here, if you'll pardon me for
just to if you'll indulge me here for just a
(02:33):
moment again, to restated on one side. Here, we have
the country and the people who make it work and
the way they live their lives. They get up every
day and they go about their business, and in the process,
the country works using the freedoms and the liberty, the
(02:54):
ambition of talent, the desire, whatever it is that makes
up people would ever it is that makes everybody who
we are. Everybody gets up and goes to it. On
the other side, we have the drive by media and
the American left, which is engaged in a single project
(03:14):
of tearing the other America down and tearing it apart,
all because they don't like American all because they don't
like the people who are making the country work from
top to bottom, and so there's is a never ending
quest to tear it down. They tear it down, or
(03:35):
try to tear it down by depressing and dispiriting the
people who are getting up and going to work or
whatever it is they're doing that constitutes actual living life
as opposed to the other side. Yeah, they're alive, but
they're not living life. They are people absorbed and drenched
(04:00):
in hatred and resentment, anger and outrage, and they're taking
the fact that they're outraged and unhappy and miserable out
on everybody else, and in the process one half of
America spends its day making the country work and trying
(04:20):
to defend it. The other half is just trying to
tear everything apart. And last night I was with the
half of America, or whatever percentage it is, it makes
the country work. Last night was the annual dinner for
the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, the annual fundraising dinner.
M cleff is twenty three years old. I was there
(04:44):
in the home of one of the founders as the
whole idea was being put together. In three It was
a home in Rockville Center in New York, and it
was a number of Great X Marines, some now in
aw enforcement, somewhere in finance, and they wanted to put
(05:04):
together a foundation which would provide college scholarships for the
children of Marines killed in action. They later added law
enforcement to it, and many of them worked in the FBI.
Many of them worked in law enforcement police departments elsewhere,
And so what was originally a charity to provide college
(05:27):
scholarships for the children of Marines killed in action was
expanded to include children of people in law enforcement and
on extreme emergencies. Night nine eleven, m cleft expanded to
all federal agencies were heads of families died and their
children needed college scholarships, they became an early donor. I've
(05:50):
i've I've never been an active practical participant in the
actual structure to charity, but Cather and I have been
active Downer as an active fundraiserism. As you well know,
much of what we do is tied to mcleff. The
two of by Te project was was was tied to
m cleff. The Rush Review book series is tied to mcleff.
(06:13):
And last night was the annual fundraiser. The Marine Band
shows up. There's always a special guest hon a ree
from the United States Military. Last night it was to
be the Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who had to
cancel on Tuesday and the event was last night and
(06:35):
he had to cancel because of what's going on in
Syria now. The event was held at Citriani Wall Street.
It was a beautiful setting. It was jam pegged. It's
a black tie event and formal military attire, and it
is a night totally devoted to celebrating the Marine Corps,
celebrating the United States Military, celebrating the values in the
(06:58):
traditions of the military, which I think form the bedrock
of the values and traditions of our society at large.
We had a table at two tables. Captaine, I had
two tables, and we invited you know, We've got this
new feature going on our website, Rush limbaugh dot com
called meet Rush and it when you click on that,
(07:22):
you're presented with a form where you can fill out
a a little email questionnaire about why you think our
team should arrange a video conference with you to explain
why you listen, how long you've been listening, and we
convert those videos and occasionally play them on an area
of the website. And we've been at this for I
don't know a month and a half now, maybe longer.
(07:44):
In setting it all up, we've we've began airing some
of the videos that we because you remember the one
when I told you about in the Pacific Island, who
has to walk a bunch of well feat to get
to the top of mountain to get two g Eliot
or connectivities that she can download podcast of the program
each and everything goes back down the hill where she
(08:05):
does her missionary work talking to people all over the country.
And last night we invited three that we have met
during the meat Rush team rush effort here. They're all
former Marines. They're all lifetime listeners. They and their wives,
(08:26):
So as Catherine and me and our six guests, well
three guests and their wives at one table. And we've
got some pictures of this will put at rush limba
dot com. After I finished this little segment here, Coco's
going to transcribe it and put some pictures up. Just
great people, lifetime listeners. When you see these pictures, these
(08:47):
are the people I'm talking about who make the country work.
These are the people that, uh not because they listen
to me, although I think it is inseparable, people who
make the country work listening this program, because this program
reflects what they believe. This program validates what people who
make the country work, live, breathe, and believe. It was
(09:12):
a pleasure meeting them. I had a hustle up there.
I had a race out of here after the program.
I had a fly up, had to find a Newark
because the superintendent of the Port Authority, So I'm leaving
something out. They asked me to speak when General Mattis
couldn't make it. You you talk about these people have
(09:33):
all paid to be in there to hear the Secretary
of Defense and he can't make it, and so it's me.
Jim Calstrom, former director the f Office FBI office in
New York, is who asked me, would you mind? Is
a Jim? Are you kidding? I mean, I'm not. I'm not. No, no, no, no,
you gotta do it well. How how much you're looking for?
(09:54):
Ten fifteen minutes, max? Ten fifteen minutes, Jim, I don't
even get warmed up until thirty minutes. Okay, No. So
they sent the superintendent of the Port Authority to New
York to meet me for lights and sirens into Manhattan
to make sure I got there in time, and we did.
We pulled in right as the reception and cocktail period
(10:17):
was ending at seven and everybody was being seated, and
it was one inspirational speaker after another. There was a
woman who lost her husband in combat. The foundation had
provided provided scholarships for her two kids. She gave a
(10:37):
stem winder of a speech about what it all meant,
about what it meant being married to somebody who the
families know what's going to happen, what can happen in combat,
and it's the other America with this this last night.
Without the people that were in that room, the country
(11:00):
and be what it is. But we could get along
without James Comey, and we can get along without Nancy
Pelosi and Valerie playing, and we can get along without Always,
We can get along without Anderson Cooper, we can get
along without George Stepanopolis, we can get along with it,
probably get along without me. But we cannot get along
(11:21):
without the people in that room last night, As the
closing speaker said, and he was responding to some of
the comments I made because I I talked about this
divide in the country, and I I pulled, no part,
don't tell him I'm worried. I told him that we've
got a serious challenge, that we've got a great nation
(11:43):
at risk in a dangerous world. And I talked about
this divide, and I talked about you've heard me to
the theory that I don't think we have any advind
us together anymore like we had in World War Two.
This guy stood up after I had finished. There were
some other comments, and he referenced it not by me
and by name, but he said, look, we just tell
them we were in a uniform here in this room tonight.
(12:05):
Don't worry we got it. We got it, just like
the NYPD, they got it, just like the Port Authority
cup they got it. Don't worry, we got it. We
stay in our lane. It doesn't matter who's running the show.
We know what we gotta do, and we got it.
And that's why we couldn't get along without those people
(12:27):
in that room. And those people in that room last
night are among those who get ripped and lampooned and
impuned by these other guys that we have to spend
a bunch of time chatting about here today, as though
what they think matters, as though what they say or
right is gospel. So we have spend time exposing who
(12:52):
they are and exposing the lies or the misrepresentations, the
deceit that they're using you this repeating formula of left
on the assault against the country, and a few of
us here on the right standing up trying to say
no and stop them and defend it. But it was
(13:12):
the people in the room last night, the Marine Corps
Law Enforcement Foundation, not just the uniform Marines, but the
people that were there as donors and who show up
every year. It was a microcosm of what I believe
is people who make the country work, make the country run,
(13:33):
and it was it was an honor for me to
be part of it. It was distinct privilege to be
asked to speak in that room. I always think I'd
bomb it too. I mean, I always think I didn't
do nearly as good as I could have when that
I've fretted over and all the way home last night.
But then I realized I would have today to fix
(13:55):
any not infny wrong. Just just you know, I'm so
hyper critical that I never, ever, never ever, I rarely
tell myself I nailed it. But the crowd was was
up and supportive. It was just it was it was
a great room to be in and a tremendous event
(14:15):
to to be part of. And I just I wanted
to acknowledge this, and I'm wanting to let you know
we're gonna just a few pictures when we need to
respect these people's privacy. No last names of the three
lifetime listeners all ex military, and they had the time
of their lives they had. I mean, they're they're ex military,
They observed their country, they had never been to an
(14:37):
event like this, and they just it was so great
to have them there, people who who genuinely appreciated one
of one of these guys wants to go play that
these people remember everything I've said from the time they
have been listening, and they're throwing it at me. Then
I'm just stunned and blown away. They remember more than
(14:59):
I did. And I have one of the best memories
in the world, and they remember more than I do
about certain things I've said and when and uh and
how So it was an invigorating evening and it was
very uplifting, and I wish everybody could participate in events
like this for that very reason. So it won't be
(15:21):
long we'll have I just got two pictures I'm gonna
put up for now. One is a shot of all
of us at the table, and then a not dislike
the others, but there's a really good picture of me
with with one of the h three listeners that we
invited from the Meat Rush event. His name is Joel,
his former marine. He's wearing his medals on his h
(15:44):
on his tuxedo jacket. Great people, their wives were fun.
It was, but these two pictures will give you a
flavor for what the evening was. And again no last names,
because you I don't want these people descended upon by
the people are going to be talking about today on
the left, who seemed to have only one desire and
that's rip everything to shreds and tear it down. And
(16:08):
I just do not want people who have done nothing
but be listeners of this programmed to deal with any
garbage like that. So that's why no last names. The
names of the three couples lifetime listeners, all military members
who are guest last night, Philip and Patricia, Joel and
(16:29):
Felicia and Joseph and Bryer, and I would love to
tell you their last names, but in this day and age,
in this climate, I'm not going to subject them to
any potential harassment that might result from the trolls that
live and breathe on Facebook and Twitter and media matters
and wherever. But trust me, when you see the photos,
(16:52):
you will you'll be able to they look at they're
great Americans. You'll be able to tell Bibe looking at them.
Well, here we go, folks game on same old, same old,
same formulas. So the bad guys put out a book
that excoriates, impunes, defames the president. The drive by media
pick it all up and promote it, try to make
