Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast.
And here we are back at it, my friends, firmly
ensconced here at the EIB Southern Command. Behind this a
golden EIB microphone, Rush Limbo here at eight hundred to
eight two to eight eight two. If you want to

(00:22):
appear on the program, the email address if you'd rather
send an email l Rushbow at EIB net dot us.
So I'm here, in a sporadic way able to catch
some of the Democrats impeachment filing against against President Trump,

(00:43):
and that he threatened the constitutional system and the fact
that he did this in the month of January is
no reason to forget about it. That he threatened and
almost destroyed the US constitutional system. Now all of that
is an abject line. None of that is true. They
are lying about his role in the January sixth uprising

(01:06):
or whatever you want to call it at the US Capitol,
and they know they are, and they've got no guardrails.
There's no reason for them not to. They don't have
a media that's going to call them out on it.
So they're literally all of this is about making sure
that Donald Trump can never ever again have any role

(01:27):
in American public life. There is a column today in
the Washington Post. In fact, I intended to get to
this a little later, but let me let me get
down to this. I've brought it up, and it actually
it's in the entertainment section. Trump wants a library. He

(01:50):
must never have one. That's the headline of the story.
It's a long story, it goes on. It's filled with
block blah blah blah blah. And they are abject. They're
definitely afraid that Trump is going to triumphantly return to
public life. And I'm not saying triumphally return to the presidency,

(02:12):
but they're not going to be able to stop this.
They're not going to be able to stop Trump from
having a public life if he wants it and when
that happens, and they are waiting an abject fear for that.
They don't know how it's going to manifest. They don't
know if it's going to be a press conference from
Marilago or a golf club. They don't have the slightest idea.

(02:36):
So they're trying to ram through this impeachment business so
that they can discredit anything he says anytime he says it,
because they're worried. You know what they're worried about. Here
Trump wants a library he must never have. Who are
these people to decide whether an ex president deserves a
library or not. If he can raise the money for it,

(02:57):
then he can do a library. That's how it happens.
Do you know who bank rolled much? I should say
many ex president's libraries in Leeg I always say two
thousands in nineteen nineties. Do you know who did it?
You know who? You know who the primary funders or
bank rolles were. No, it was no mister Soros. It

(03:19):
was Prince Bandar el Sultan and his friends from Saudi Arabia.
Do I need to remind you that the King of Saught,
the late king King Abdullah Abdullah Abziz el Saud whatever,
came over and visited George W. Bush for barbecue and

(03:40):
stuff at the Texas Ranch. And while he was here,
the ambassador to the United States from the Saudia Saudi
Arabia was Bandar Bin Sultan, I think that was name.
He had homes all over the place, and the Saudis
were worried the guy is becoming too Americanized and wouldn't
go back to the home country. Saudi Arabia. I don't

(04:02):
know if he did or not, but no, the King
of Saudi Arabia was for Clinton. I think. I don't
know if it was major, but I know he was
a participating fundraiser donor. And the same thing for George W.
Bush and maybe George H. W. Bush. That's one of
the reasons for the alliance that we've had with Saudia. Right.

(04:25):
The point is, if you can raise the money for
your library, then it's not up to the Washington Post
where do you get one or not what they're worried about.
Can you imagine a Trump presidential library. We have the
Clinton Library massage parlor. Can you imagine what the traffic
is to the Clinton Library massage parlor? Not much because

(04:45):
you have to have a special admission ticket for the
massage parlor part that's not open to the public. You
get it's a special little buzzer. You know, you're put
in the palm of your hand and you have to
tell the right person I'm here for visit the massage parlor,
and if it buzzes, you get in. If it doesn't
buzz you don't get in. And no, I'm making that up,

(05:11):
but it wouldn't that be funny. I mean, I'm here
for them. I don't think there's an Epstein Epstein wing
Jeffrey Epstein wing the Clinton Library and said, no, no,
not not here. There may be a Clinton wing at
some Epstein property somewhere, but I doubt I doubt that
it's Clinton Library. No. They're worried that it would become

(05:32):
the biggest tourist attraction in the country. That's what they're
worried about, and it would it would be. They are
scared to death of any picture, any video, any any
image that would confirm or testify to Trump's popularity, because

(05:58):
that's what they're really trying to destroy, and they don't
know that all they're doing is really cementing it. Seventy
four seventy five million people voted for Donald Trump. The
Democrats may think that they have the ability to convince
seventy four seventy five million people that the guy they

(06:18):
voted for is a reprobate and that they shouldn't have
voted for him. But they tried that for four years,
didn't they How did that work out for him? They've
been trying. They tried for four years. We talked about
it yesterday, there was no truth to it whatsoever. They
had a free reign. They could make up anything they
want about Donald Trump's think of it this way. Here.

(06:39):
You are the Democrat Party, You have the FBI, you
have the CIA, at least you have members of both
that are sympathetic to the Washington establishment. And you have
basically the knowledge that for the next four years, you
can make up anything you want about Donald Trump and

(07:00):
the media will amplify it. In other words, you don't
have any limits. So your objective is to destroy Donald Trump.
You want to reverse if you can, the election results
in twenty sixteen. You want him out of there because
you're scared to depth what he represents. He represents an

(07:22):
uprising of the people of this country against Washington, against
the establishment. And it had been building for a long time.
It had been building since Pero in nineteen ninety two.
Oh yeah, it predated Trump. It was the Tea Party
was part of this. Trump was just the first guy

(07:46):
to come along and actually weaponize it in a political sense.
But the Trump movement existed before there was Trump, and
then he built it and grew it to the point
of seventy five seventy million voters. But Stopper, think these
democrats going in the FBI, CIA, all these conspirators am

(08:07):
I five, am I six in the UK, the intelligencia
from Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, they had a
free run. They could make up anything they wanted about
Donald Trump. All it had to have was some link
to credibility. But they could make up anything they wanted.

(08:32):
In the mainstream media would not only amplify it, the
mainstream media would act as members of the team. And
they chose Russian collusion. They thought they had set it up.
They thought they had built a believable case about it,
and they spent four years, even after the No Choice

(08:57):
Muller Report, the Muller Report had to report collusion. That
that was the maginal line. Off you will. They couldn't
go beyond that. This was always an effort to sway
public opinion, and that's what they hoped they had done

(09:19):
by the time Muller Report was filed and came out.
But they couldn't actually conclude that Trump had colluded because
he hadn't and there wasn't any evidence for it. So
all they could do is get close, get close in
the effort of shaping public opinion, and more and more
people believed it mission accomplished in their minds. So four

(09:45):
years of this, folks, and they remain scared to death
of the guy. They are very much aware of his popularity.
They're very much aware that he beat them back, so
they're doing everything they can they Now it's the same cabal,
It's the same kind of people, same bunch of people
with the same mindset who are now in this second

(10:08):
impeachment and doing what they can to maneuver and manipulate
public opinion against Trump because they are scared to death
of a public reemergence. They're trying to destroy whatever credibility
he has remaining. And this library business, they're deathly afraid

(10:32):
that it would become the biggest tourist attraction in the country. Now,
we need to wrap a little business from yesterday. We
spend some time talking about one of the founders of
the Lincoln Project is never Trump or bunch, John Weaver.
John Weaver New York Times story indicated that mister Weaver

(10:53):
had sexually abused a miner and had made his advanced
to sexual advances against men on men. He'd been caught
doing this and one of them at least one was
a miner, and so all day yesterday and then the

(11:15):
day before, we had members of the Lincoln Project, like
George Conway, who appeared on TV constantly with mister Weaver.
Weaver ran the McCain campaigns in UM in two thousand,
in two thousand ways every yeah, two thousand and two. Uh,
what was the two thousand and eighth, Yeah, yeah, that's
what it was. Was so Weaver was all of the

(11:38):
McCain family knew this guy. Everybody knew this guy, and
they all go, well, we had no idea. We had
no ideas hitting on minor guys. We had no idea
that he was deviant like this. We had no idea.
George Conway, the wife of Kelly Han Conway, written op
eds with him, appeared on TV with him. Audis is terrible.
Oh my god, Oh I don't know. Oh this is

(12:00):
so devastating. Oh this is so bad. Oh I don't know.
I didn't know all. This is so bad. You knew
it all. Everybody knew it, just like everybody knew what
was being cooked up against Trump. Audio sound bite number one,
here's Carl Rove yesterday afternoon on the story with Martha McCallum.

(12:23):
Her question. The Lincoln Project a lot of accusations from
young men. They're called John Weaver a sexual predator. You
mentioned that this was a concern of yours in two
thousand and four. Now you know, Carl, this isn't something
that anybody wants to be vindicated on. It turns out
that you were right about I've actually known about this

(12:45):
pattern of behavior since nineteen eighty eight. All I want
to say is is that the twenty one statements from
those twenty one young men who talked about how they'd
been approached by mister Weaver, that statement speaks for itself,
and I don't have anything to add to its. Sad,
sad chapter. Now, just yesterday, one of the many themes

(13:06):
of the program was that everybody knew about the Russia hoax.
The people involved in running it, the people involved in
deploying it, they all knew. Well, it turns out they
all knew about McCain's right hand man. McCain probably knew,
Cindy McCain probably knew. Where does it stop for the

(13:27):
people that knew? Robe is admitting he's known about this
since two thousand and four. That's what Martha McCallum said,
you mentioned this was a concern of yours in two
thousand and four. Oh wait, he said eighty eight. I've
actually known about this pattern of behaviors in nineteen eighty eight.
Why wasn't anything gone about it? And when this guy

(13:50):
is running around ripping Donald Trump as unfit for office
on the basis he's a deviant, on the basis that
he has known more radley, where were all these people
saying John shut up, You're not the guy to carry
the message. Well, he was the co founder. They weren't
going to tell him to shut up. Now here is

(14:12):
the guy that wrote the story in the New York Times.
This guy's name is Ryan Gurdusky, and he was Avadlaura
Ingram last night in the Fox News channel. So you
say you have proof that the Lincoln Project members are
lying when they said that they had just learned recently

(14:33):
of Weaver's depravity. What do you mean? This was the
biggest open secret in WASHINGDC. The Lincoln Project was used
for two purposes, a grift to make money and as
a predatory grooming organization for John Weaver to get young
men into bed. I mean what you've seen in the
media is nothing compared to what the message I have are.
And I'm not abut to embarrass somebody, but they are descriptive.

(14:56):
They are disgusting. I had thirty young men, another writer
over fifty. It's probably over one hundred young men in
a five year period. Bill Collywood blush at the actions
of John Weaver. It was the biggest open secret in Washington, DC.
Liberals I spoke to about the project I was working on,
knew about John Weaver, and the media ran cover for

(15:18):
John Weaver and for the Lincoln Project. Yeah. Why, I
wonder why the why they did that because they were
all part of the effort to get rid of Trump,
so they ran cover for the guy. But here you
have this reporter. He didn't even include in his initial
report the things he's divulging. Here the biggest open secret
in Washington, the Lincoln Project. Mister Sturtley, have you heard this?

(15:42):
Have you heard anywhere besides this guy said? The Lincoln
Project was used for two reasons, a grift to make
money and as a predatory grooming organization for John Weaver
to get young men into bed. Have you ever heard it?
That's what the Lincoln Project was about. Not until now
thing for me, not until now. A grift to make

(16:06):
in the words, the two primary reasons for the existence
of the Lincoln Project or illegitimate, or at least they
are not the lofty ideals that they profess, a grift
to make money. And as a so, the Lincoln Project,

(16:26):
all these guys in it. Apparently we're aware to one
extent or another that they were part of a project
to help John Weaver coerce young men into bed And
this reporter, Ryan Gerdusky, says that everybody knew this. Oh
gotta take a break, folks. I just saw the clock

(16:49):
back in a minute. Have a minor correction. We always
do these corrections the moment I find out I have
been in error. Ryan Goodursky, Sorry, Ryan Gerddusky, who wrote
the story on John Weaver, is not with the New

(17:09):
York Times. I assumed he was because the New York
Times did the story. He's an independent author, an independent journalist.
He broke the story on his own a couple of
weeks ago, and then the New York Times ran the story.
And that's what I saw, and I I just assumed
that it was that he was a Times reporter. Not true.

(17:37):
It's not a big deal. But as I say, when
I discover I've been wrong about something, I run the
correction right as soon as I discovered. You know, we
keep digging for more clips on John Weaver because it's
so illustrative of the fakery and the hypocrisy of all
of these never Trumpers. It's just beyond the pale. And

(17:58):
we've got another one this or some eighth of last
year on PBS, a program called the Open Mind. I
think I coined the phrase that the army of the
descents are coming together in a grand coalition to hopefully
asked Donald Trump and his enablors. We've known you and

(18:21):
I certainly have known and many others from day one
that this president was unfit to hold off as he
was unfit morally. This from the guy founding the Lincoln Project,
who gurd Dusky says had two purposes a grift to
make money and as a predatory grooming organization for John

(18:42):
Weaver to get young men into bed, and that everybody
knew that it was one of the worst kept secrets.
It might have been a hundred young men in a
five year period. Bill Cosby would be jealous, not of
the men part, but be jealous of the operation anyway,

(19:04):
Sit tight will be right back. Talent on law from
god russ lym Boy, your guiding light behind the one
and only Golden EIB microphone. Look at this national security

(19:26):
news is from the Washington Freebacon State Department spokes person.
The largest threat to US national security are United States cops.
The State Department has a newly installed deputy spokesperson. Her

(19:48):
name is Jelina Porter. She said in a two sixteen
Facebook post that the biggest threat to US nationals security
our US cops, not isis not Russian hackers, not anyone
or anything else American cops now. Her comments on Facebook

(20:15):
were made on September twentieth, twenty sixteen, and they appear
to be in reference to video footage released that day
of an unarmed black man being shot by police officers
in Tulsa. Look the Biden administration hired the person is

(20:36):
the point. She's a deputy spokeswoman. She has worked for
a think tank that employed Hunter Biden. She was also
a cheerleader in dancer for the Oakland Raiders and the
Washington Wizards of the NBA, so you can see why
she was hired. She got a link to Hunter, Biden

(20:58):
worked for a think tank employed under Biden. Biden canceled
a major foreign policy speech. Folks, two inches of snow,
kid you not. Biden canceled a Monday trip to the
State Department to deliver his first major policy address, citing

(21:19):
the two inches of snow that fell in Washington. I
don't know, maybe Biden saw a shadow. What is this
two inches of snow is going to shut down? Biden's
going to put a line on it for that. Biden's
also considering revoking Trump's access to all intelligence data, which

(21:44):
is something that ex presidents are routinely afforded for a
period of time after they have been president. New York
Post with the story to Biden administrations considering revoking Trump's
access to intelligence briefings. White House spokeswoman Jen Pasaki said, Yeah,

(22:05):
it's something obviously that's under review. Mind you, and you
remind you that John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey
still have access to White House intelligence briefings. They still
get to see the intel. Trump said that he revoked
Brennan's but Brennan claims he still has his. This is amazing,

(22:33):
especially when you consider all these former administration officials that
still have theirs in. Trump has been told that he
is going to have his canceled. Are you all aware
of the latest with Alexandrio Ocasio Cortes. It is a

(22:56):
fascinating thing to bear witness to. Alexandrio ocasil Cortes claims
that she is a sexual assault survivor from January sixth
in the Capitol Building, New York Representative Alexandrio Caso Cortes

(23:19):
on Monday revealed that she is a survivor of sexual assault.
Have you seen this video, folks? If you haven't, it's
amazing acting. She was speaking to one hundred thousand people
on Instagram Live. She described what she went through during

(23:41):
the Capitol riot. She addressed suggestions from some Republicans that
Americans move on from this. Come on, you can't keep
living off what did or didn't happen in January sixth,
she was told, She said, the reason that I'm getting
emotional in this moment is because these people who tell
us to move on, these are the same tactics of abusers,

(24:05):
and I am a survivor of sexual assault. She continued,
her voice, breaking, I haven't told many people this in
my life. She then went on to tell more than
a hundred and thirty thousand viewers that no matter what
kind of abuse or neglect that they have experienced, trauma
compounds on each other. She detailed frightening experiences during the siege,

(24:31):
including how a man she believed to be a rioter
broke into her congressional office as she hid in the bathroom.
She recalled hearing this guy yellow. Where is she? Where
is she? This was the moment where I thought everything
was over, said oh Casio Cortes. I thought I was

(24:53):
going to die. I have never been quieter in my
entire life. Her legisla director later told her to come out,
explaining the man was a Capitol police officer. This woman
need I remind you, Alexandria Ocasto Cortes is a member

(25:14):
of Congress. So she is in the bathroom of her
congressional office and a Capitol police officer is asking for her. Whereabouts?
Where is she? Where is she? She got frightened for

(25:34):
her life. She thought that she was gonna die. Folks,
She thought a sexual abuser was waiting for her. She
told an hundred thirty thousand people this. It turns out
that there's a Capitol Hill police officer looking to secure
her safety, and now she claims she's a sexual assault

(25:55):
survivor because of this. She was not sexually assaulted. I've
seen the video she talks about this. She hid behind
the door, She made sure the door didn't hit her
as people were opening it. She was never quieter in
her life. She never did a better job of hiding

(26:15):
her existence. I mean you, this is this is just
not normal. I don't know how it is to categorize this. Now,
there's a story about this at Spectator US and it's
a titled AOC's body Politics. Let me just give you

(26:36):
some pull quotes. Here's the first one. Alexandria or Cortez,
who has somehow not yet dried the well of public
sympathy for the January sixth storming of the Capitol, linked
the experience to an alleged sexual assault she suffered in
the past. Oh, I'm sorry, I misunders I watched the video.

(27:01):
I thought she was saying this event was sexual assault.
Apparently it's something that happened in the past. Here's the quote.
The reason I'm getting emotional in this moment because these
folks who tell us to move on that It's not
a big deal that we should forget what happened, or
even telling us to apologize. These are the same tactics
of abusers. And I'm a survivor of sexual assault, and
I haven't told many people that in my life. But

(27:22):
when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other.
Trauma compounds on each other. What does that mean, Trauma
compounds on each other? Now whatever, This is gross manipulation
that got me. Now, I'm a master communicator. All of

(27:44):
you know this. It is my primary job skill. And
she words this in such a way as if you
watch the video, you will be convinced she's talking about
this event. Now. She purposely obfuscates this, I believe, to

(28:07):
make it look like she have it either way either no,
no, no no no. If you misunderstand she was talking about
this event being sexual abused, no no, I didn't mean that.
I meant I did something in the past. She wants
this both ways. It's gross manipulation and she should be ashamed.
And I'm not talking about ashamed for sharing she was

(28:30):
sexually assaulted. I have no way of knowing whether or
not her story is true. And besides, it's irrelevant to
the issue of storming the capital. What's it got to
do with the issue of storming the capitol. The real
story here is that Alexandria or Cassio Cortez used her

(28:54):
alleged trauma as a cudgel against her political opponents. She
has weaponized her alleged experience of sexual trauma to silence
anybody who criticizes her. This is from the art. It's
a pull quote Amber athletes who wrote this, and that
is exactly right. And this is classic of how the

(29:19):
left uses speech to silence all opponents. She has taken
her alleged experience of sexual assault to silence anybody who
criticizes her. You're not allowed to criticize her. She suffered trauma,
you're not allowed to be critical. No, she was sexually abused.
You can't prove it. You have to go on what

(29:41):
she says as being true. But she's got no evidence.
She doesn't advance any evidence. She had to bring sexual
assault into her discussion about the Capitol riot because her
telling of events is where overly dramatic and according to

(30:04):
Amber Appy, it's delusional. Most people will be discouraged from
saying so because they don't want to be accused of
being misogynistic or insufficiently sensitive to her trauma. So most
people besides Amber Athy aren't going to have the guts
to properly characterize this. But you ought to see this

(30:25):
video if you haven't, I mean it's it's filled with
acting and gyrations of the body in order to transmit
the nature of the assault she feared was happening all
over again, and it was a sexual assault that she

(30:47):
was being reconnected to. So you have no right to
be critical because there's a traumatic event, so forth and
so on. Anyway, I gotta take a brief break again.
Time marches on Whee'll be back right after this. All right,
little late, but we're going to start on the phones
and we say hi to Darley and Parker Colorado. Great

(31:08):
to have you with us. Hello, Hi, rast's to speak
to you. Well he got through. Hey, I have a
quick question for you. So I don't really think about
this whole scam, hope, the impeachment and if they know,
the Democrats to know that this is going nowhere, why
and they're so afraid of Stunnald Trump and you know
everything he comes out of his mouth, so why would
they give him such a grand platform. I mean, the

(31:30):
whole world's going to be watching this because they think
their platform is going to be bigger. Hm. Interesting. I
even though they think they know they're gonna lose and
they're gonna be able to get to say what they're
going to say, but they don't definitely give no, they don't.
They don't look at the no, no, no, no, Wait
a minute. Why do you think they're looking at this
as a lose lose thing. Well, I think they're just

(31:52):
simply because he's not going to be convicted. Well, I
think he think, do we lose her connection to him?
I get that, But up jump Trump, you can do
it too, Darlene. We're having all kinds of trouble with
your with your connection. Let me try one more time.
Why do you think the Democrats know that they're going

(32:15):
to lose this? Right? I think they Well, because they're
going to lose it. They can't acquit him, right, that's
pretty much okay? So that okay, So they don't have
the votes to acquit convict. They don't have the votes
to convict him, so he is going to be acquitted.
But that's not why they're doing this. They're not doing

(32:36):
this to actually convict him. They're doing this to continue
the smear. They're running the show. They determine all of
the rules, and they're looking at this as an opportunity.
Look at their Their first impeachment was a joke and

(32:59):
they still went through with it. They had no idea
how that boomeranged on them. They think they won that.
They think they won with Adam Schiff and his committee
analyst Garbage on the phone call to Ukraine. They're looking
at this as an opportunity to shape public opinion even

(33:21):
more against Trump. They have an opportunity here to continue
to impune, to criticize, to make up whatever they want
about the guy. They've got the mainstream media in their
back pocket to amplify whatever they say. So this is
just an ongoing And by the way, there's another thing
here besides that. It's all about sending messages to anybody

(33:45):
that might be thinking of doing what Trump did. Don't
try it. Don't think that you can get away with it.
Will treat you just like retreating Trump. There's all kinds
of reasons for them doing this, and the fact that
that they're not going to get a conviction is that
is way down on the list now. They're doing this

(34:07):
to continue the smear. Here's Amy in Los Angeles. Welcome.
Great to have you, High Rush. It's always a pleasure
to speak to you, and wishes and prayers for all
the best for you. Thank you. As you're talking about
President Trump and libraries, it occurred to me the President
Trump will do branch libraries. Imagine a president a Trump

(34:30):
presidential library in every state, in every major metropolitan area.
They will not know what to do with that. Well,
that would take a lot of money. Well, people, that's true.
I mean fifty libraries or forty eight, that would take
a I get you. If they raised that much money,

(34:52):
the temptation to use some of it they're go out
and buy the latest iPhone is going to be really tempting.
They would be smaller libraries, so you could have oh smaller,
you could have a bigger one in you know where
Trump wants it, and then you'd have like a smaller
branch library, like a sub library. So it's still interesting
where it's interesting to ponder. Could drive a nuts. It

(35:14):
also says up here that you think I'm in deep
trouble now because you think that I am going to
make a lot of people mad. Over my Alexander or
comments on sexual abuse? What did I what do they
do wrong? Yeah? I mean it really hurts me to
think I agree with her. But let me just say that,
Trush Rush, you probably never have been experienced trauma or abuse,

(35:38):
and I certainly didn't. Wait a minute, wait wait wait
wait wait wait wait, why do you think that? I'll
tell you why? Because as you're describing what AOC said,
what she's talking about is if you've experienced a trauma
or an abuse and then you experience another trauma or
another abuse, that trauma piles on it go away. Yea.

(36:01):
And so she had this trauma on the sixth and
it sort of gins up past trauma. That's what which
is sexual abuse? And so you think I went over
and off the rails because I was what making light
of it. I think that any woman, any person who's

(36:23):
ever been sexually abused or been through trauma, is gonna
find that insensitive and like, all right, look, I appreciate it.
I'm out of time, but I appreciate that lot to
think about this. Okay, answer me this. Why didn't AOC
ever mention her sexual abuse alleged sexual abuse during the

(36:45):
Me Too movement when that was hot and heavy. Where
was she then? Anyway, there's more to be back here
just a second. Greetings and welcome back Rushland Ball on
the cutting edge of societal evolution. Great to be with you,
my friends. Our telephone number if you want to be
on the program eight hundred two eight two eight two,

(37:08):
and the email address l rushbo at eib dot us.
So Amy in Los Angeles says, You've got to be
very careful here because if you make it sound like
you are insensitive to sexual abuse, they're going to come
after you. The only thing. Look, I have no idea
whether she was sexually abused or not, but if you

(37:30):
see the video, it does look like that it is
something worthy of exploitation. That she thinks it can be exploited.
Raises a question. Why did she never mention her alleged
sexual abuse when the Me Too movement was hot and heavy?
Did she believe the sexual assault charges against Biden? What

(37:53):
was that terror Reid was at her name? Did she
believe those charges when terror read? As I recall, not
very many people on the left gave terror read the
time of day. So she supports Biden now while an

(38:14):
alleged victim of sexual assault. Look, you know they're generational
separators here, like Amy and Los Angeles said, you obviously
have never been, never been abused. You know, there's all
kinds of abuse, folks. There's sexual abuse, there's mind control,
there's manipulation, there's I mean, I could give you any

(38:39):
number of different definitions of abuse, like, for example, a hypothetical,
let's say that your spouse makes you think that he
or she is serious about committing suicide practically every time

(39:00):
you have an argument, every time you have a disagreement,
and it's scary as hell, and you use that is
at his base level. That's an attempt at control, it's
an attempt at manipulation. Is that abuse? Now, those of
you who've had a deal with something like that, no,
full well that it is, and you have to develop

(39:22):
ways of dealing with it for your own peace of mind,
for your own survival, for your own whatever you want
to want to call it. I submit to you that
there are many different definitions of abuse, not sexual abuse,
but many definitions of abuse. There's post traumatic stress disorder,

(39:45):
which you could say is along the same lines of
abuse that would be PTSD. Primarily people who've had very
unsettling experiences in combat, military combat, so forth. But they're
just it's a generational thing. It's it's it's so prevalent

(40:08):
that in older generations it's just something that you dealt with,
it's something that you you you had to deal with
and come up with ways of getting past it. In
current generations, it's not that at all. It's it's far
more serious. It's given much more weight. Uh, it is
considered to be uh much more damaging in term of

(40:32):
shaping people's personality and their decisions that they make as
they as they live. It's just there's a new sensitivity
to it. And I'm fully aware of that. But I
just think it came out of a blue and we
haven't heard about this, um ever. We didn't hear about
it during the Me Too movement, when that would have

(40:54):
been the ideal time for Alexandervie Ocotez to tell everybody
that all this is really good. I've been sexually abused.
She didn't do it. Then. We don't know what she
did about Joe Biden being accused of sexual abuse by
Tara Reid. But part of abuse is trauma, is it not?

(41:15):
And my only assertion here is that all of us
experienced trauma quite often. I've been fired seven or eight times,
all but one of them was traumatic. I had to
call my parents and tell them. You think that wasn't traumatic. No,

(41:36):
I'm not comparing it to sexual abuse. Also, I was
reading you pull quotes from a story at The Spectator
US by Amber Atheus. So let's not get totally lost here.
Because some of the pull quotes I read, you might
have assumed I was making the statements. But I, as

(41:57):
your host, am not in sensitive to sexual abuse in
any way. But I know liberals. I know how they
how they work, I know how they attempt to silence
and discredit opposition. And I'm telling you this by Alexandrio

(42:20):
Castio Cortes is a classic. As Amber Athy writes here,
the real story is an Alexandrio Cortez used her alleged
trauma as a cudgel against her political opponents. She has
weaponized her alleged experience to silence anybody who criticizes her.

(42:41):
And to show you how it's working, I have a
friendly supporter who call you better be real careful what
you're saying here. It's obvious you've never been abused. How
is it obvious. Maybe I should be proud that I
don't wear that around. You know, that's that's also something generational.

(43:01):
You just didn't talk about things, You just lived your life.
You doubt whether it doesn't happen now you wear the badge.
Generational changes, generational shifts. But Amber Ethie believes that AOC
weaponized her alleged experience to silence anybody who criticizes her.

(43:22):
I know the left does that. They have become champions
at that. In fact, here's Jenny in Vail, Colorado. Great
to have you. I'm glad you called hello. Hi, thanks
for having me on you, Bet. I just wanted to
reframe it a different way because, like you said, we've

(43:42):
all been victimized, we've all had trauma, and certainly the
amount of women that have been victimized is something like
one in four. But what I would say is, instead
of saying, oh gosh, why didn't she come forward or
oh gosh, you know whatever, what about looking at it
like why is she an office? If she's so unstable

(44:03):
and so victimized, Maybe she needs to resign because she's
not a stable person at this point. Because obviously the
sixth of January has completely put her over the edge.
So you think that it would be more appropriate or

(44:24):
a better use of the information to put forth the
idea that maybe she's been so traumatized here that she's
not qualified she needs to get help instead, that's what
you think would be a Well, I think we all
go through really incredible, horrible bad times and we have

(44:46):
to seek the help we need at those times. And
if this is something that is now opening up for
her because of this trauma on the sixth of January,
then she really obviously needs to be helped. And you
know she's going to wear the badge. She needs to
addressed what it is to be a victim and how

(45:09):
to overcome it. All right, But for us to say
that that means she should resign and take this seriously,
that would that that wouldn't be met with any kind
of approval. That would be that they'd try to rip
that one to shreds as well. But you're doing this
on the basis of compassion, is that what you're you're
suggesting this in the basis of compassion rather than politics.

(45:31):
Well kind of, I'm just trying to think outside the
box a little, because instead of running around accoosing each
other of you know all this stuff. Maybe you deal
with your problem and become strong for it instead of
announcing it to one hundred and thirty thousand people. And
you haven't seriously addressed it in your own life. And

(45:54):
so clearly she's facing PTSD issues. How well can she
represent her constituent? Okay, Jenny, I appreciate your input on this.
I'm looking for I've got two stories on this, and
I'm maybe three. Let me make sure looking for the
one that mentions the one hundred and thirty thousand. That's

(46:18):
not it? What did I do with it? Is it
in the stack? Okay? Well, here are the two stories,
ones from the New York Post. Alexandercasso Cortez on Monday
revealed that she is a survivor of sexual assault, a

(46:41):
thirty one year old Democrats, speaking more than one hundred
thousand people on Instagram Live, described what she went through
during the Capitol riot and addressed suggestions from some Republicans
that Americans move on from the January Oh see, there
it is. She's reacting. If you come on, you guys,

(47:01):
drop at January sixth, that was almost a month ago.
Can we move on? And she's saying, look, I have
been a victim of sexual assault. And that's when people
can't you just move on, will know because these individual
assaults compound. In other words, the trauma gets added, it
doesn't go away. The trauma compounds. She said, I am

(47:25):
a survivor of sexual assault, her voice breaking. I haven't
told many people that in my life. That's true. She hasn't.
She didn't tell anybody during the Me Too movement. She
didn't tell anybody when Joe Biden was accused of it
during the Democrat campaign. She went on to tell more
than one hundred and thirty thousand viewers that no matter

(47:47):
what kind of abuse they've experienced, trauma compounds on each
other meeting, each incident of trauma compounds on all previous incidents.
So it doesn't go away. It it gets worse, is
what she's saying, with her voice breaking. There's there's something

(48:08):
really big happens to you, and then you deal with
it and you move on, and then when something else happens,
you deal with that. She later detailed frightening experiences during
the siege, including how a man and this this is
it gets somewhat confusing because if you watch this video,
you almost conclude it would be a mistake to do it,

(48:31):
as we've learned, But you could conclude that she's she's
comparing this being sexually assaulted to this person who is
opening the door to her office, to her bathroom in
her office, shouting where is she? Where is she? She
assumes somebody has come to kill her, somebody's clum to
do big damage, somebody's come to harm her, And you

(48:54):
couldn't mistakenly conclude that she's talking about that as potential
sexual assault since it's happened before. Her legislative director later
told her to it's okay to come out, it's safe.
The guy is a Capital police officer. She says, this
was the moment where I thought everything was over in

(49:17):
her bathroom in her office in the Capitol building on
January sixth. And she's saying, because she was a survivor
of sexual assault, this incident compounds on that, and I
was really scared for the words. You don't Her theory is,
you don't get used to the abuse. It's not something

(49:40):
that ever normalizes. It's something that stays with you forever,
and then it happens again, and it only worsens, which
which was which was her point. Here's Amy and Rochester,
New York your next. It's great to have you with us. Hello,
Hi Rush, so nice to talk to you today. And
you're sounding great lately. So so thankful, well, thank you,

(50:02):
thank you very much, You're welcome. I just wanted to
say so, I'm from Rochester, New York, and I'm a
former prosecutor in Fort Lauderdale and as someone who has
really gone through as sexual abuse and had to go
through the full trial and go through everything, and then
the person got a life sentence, so it's a real trial,
I take issue with AOC and okay, wait wait wait,

(50:23):
hold hold it, hold it, hold it. I'm having trouble
following you here. Uh wait, I just want to make
sure understand you had to go through as a prosecutor, no, no,
myself as someone who really is a survivor. Oh you
you are, you're you're you're a victim and survivor, and
you had to go through a full trial of everything, right,
and the person accused of harassing you got a life sentence. Right, okay,

(50:49):
so you you have experienced all that, the trauma and
everything associated. Okay, right, So when you've had Christine BAUSI
Ford and aoc is someone you know pretending and what
they did to justice Kavina? What it does do people
who really live through it? It? Yeah or diminishes? What
a great example through it? What a great example Christine

(51:13):
ballsy Ford and all these people piling on Kavina. Are
you talking about trauma being lied about with the most
disgusting stories all over the news every night for two weeks? Right?
But then do the people who really do go through things?
Then it makes it You don't know who to believe,

(51:33):
right because you hear these stories And I could tell
you as someone what it did for me is it
inspired me to become a prosecutor, went to law school,
went to UNC, and then I got to help people.
So I kind of think what she's saying. I agree
with the last collar. Maybe she just is unable to
do her job because I went through it and I
went to law school. I have an MBA with honors,

(51:54):
and I'm doing just fine. You don't forget it, but
you can't let it ruin your life. Ut does she
sound like somebody that you think is letting it ruin
her life. No, she's saying that to manipulate the people
who listen to CNN and read the New Yorkipes. Okay,

(52:14):
just like the high pitched voice stick Christine Ballsy used,
Oh yeah, ending each sentence on the uptake that that
that is done to make yourself sound vulnerable. I'm so scared.
I don't even I don't feel comfortable being here. I've
just it's just really scary, that kind of thing. Yeah,

(52:39):
that's it's it's um. It's another technique, folks, that has
been developed and used, and it's designed to manipulate people.
And Ballsy Ford was great at it. But remember again,
she had the entire Democrat population a committee behind her

(53:00):
and backing her up. She had the entirety of the
media backing her up and amplifying her allegations. She had
Senator Diane Feinstei backing her up and amplifying her allegations,
so she didn't she didn't have to face as much
trauma trying to bring forth her story as many other

(53:22):
people would because the objective was political. It was to
destroy keep Capitol off the court. We'll be back after
this here, Jimmy, Jimmy and Gainesville, Georgia, G glad did
you call Jimmy? Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello, Hey Roys,
thanks for taking my call. Firstly, i'd really quickly like

(53:43):
to thank you for all you do for Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society. Leukemia took both my brother and my wife
in the past. And speaking of my wife, she was
a victim years ago of violent attempted sexual assault and
she never spoke of it. She never spoke to the
physical scars or the emotional or mental scars. But when

(54:05):
she was ever in a situation where she felt physically threatened,
it all came back the PTSD, the whole thing. And
my point is there are plenty of things to question
and even attack AOC on. This is not one of them.
This is this is not you don't need to go here?
Would how would she not have felt threatened in that scenario?

(54:25):
How would anybody not itself threatened, especially somebody's high profile
as AOC with a crowd, And she may not have
known it, but they're outside, chanting, chanting. Well, you have
a you have a good point. I must concede you
have a good point. If you're in your bathroom, in
your office and some guys opening the door and shouting
where is she? Whether you've even been traumatized to pastor
or not. That can be unsettling if you thanklutely, if

(54:48):
you think the places under siege by whoever you think
is conducting this operation. I can of course, there's no
there's no question about that. Look at the crowd was
not an AO friendly crowd. He just was not. And
I showed her to think what they would have done
if they had physically encountered AOC or Chuck Schumer and
Nancy Pelosi or even Mike Pence, because they were held

(55:11):
bent for leather and and ready for blood. Some of them,
I don't know them, some of them, not all of them.
This is another thing. Enough of them, pardon enough of them.
It only takes one. And hope you saw the video
like I did. Also saw AOC's comments when she made
them live, and it broke my heart because you know,

(55:31):
whether or not she's telling them the truth about the
physical or sexual assault, she is telling the truth. She
was in the Capitol and she was under siege, and
she had to have felt threatened. I had to. I
don't disagree. She's not the only should make light of it.
Why make light of it? You've got so much more

(55:52):
material to work with. You don't need to go here.
You're better than this. I wasn't making light of it.
I'm sorry that I have been misunderstood about this. I
was a steps ahead on this. I was not making
light of it. I'm looking at everything I do. I
look at it from the political because I think everything
has been politicized. Let me let me rephrase. You don't
need to make it out to be a political tactic

(56:14):
on her part. If it was, shame on her. But
it doesn't need to be because that is where I
naturally go, because that is what I do. That is
how I attempt to analyze how we are being attacked,
criticized whatever by our political opponents. They have politicized virtually everything.

(56:35):
They did, it not me. That's how I look at
it in many other ways too. Hi, welcome back. Great
to have you with us, Rush Limbaugh, the EI being
at work. Look, let me just say this, let me
apologize to many misunderstood why I was saying. It's my
bad if that happened. I'm a master communicator, and my
objective here at whatever the issue being discussed is to

(56:59):
be perfectly understood. And apparently some people got the wrong
idea for what I was saying about AOC and her
claim to have been sexually abused, and that that trauma
added to trauma she was feeling during the siege of
the capital on January sixth. So it doesn't matter why.

(57:20):
I just really regret that anybody didn't understand my primary
point or reaction to this. It was not disputing that
she has been abused. I have no idea whether she
has or hasn't. So if anybody thinks I was making
light of it or laughing about it, not the case.

(57:44):
But it's not your problem. It's mine for not effectively
communicating what I really felt about it. So I'm sorry.
Here is Jared and Brainerd, Minnesota. Great to have you
on the EIB network. Hello, Hi Rush, It's truly an
honor to speak to you. Thank you, sir, and prayers
to you all the time. So way to clear that up.
I think there's this is definitely a touchy subject. Doesn't

(58:09):
matter what side of defense you're on. I don't dispute
her claims of abuse, not one bit. I think she
should definitely get her voice heard. But I also think
I don't agree with her politics. But as soon as
you politicize this and turn it into a political issue,

(58:31):
I think it warrants a discussion, and what is that discussion?
We can't use abuse to politicize. Hey, listen to me.
I have a three year old daughter at home and
she can say, hey, my cousin hit me and I

(58:53):
was watching them. Her cousin didn't hit her, but she
just wanted to get some attention, and she politicized her
alleged abuse and you know it didn't happen in this instance. Yeah,
I understand. Yeah, that's that's a challenging moment there for

(59:16):
a parent though. Three you're all daughter at home and
she can say these things and you have to react
to it in a way that's going to affect the
formative development of your daughter going forward. That's that would
not be an easy thing to do. But Jared, I'm
glad you called up. Next is Pamela in Kenyon, Texas. Hello, Hi, Russ,

(59:40):
how are you? I'm good? Thank you? Prayers for you
and your family and we just hope you keep strong
and keep going. Thank you very much. I really appreciate.
Not a good time to go. We need you to stay. Amen. Yeah,
please listen in talking about AOK, you were not making
fun of her. You were reporting what she said, And

(01:00:03):
I look at it. She's always negative towards the American people.
She's always talking about how much she doesn't like America.
She wants to do things that she has no idea.
You know. It's like she's this boss who has no
experience doing anything, telling people what to do on how
to do it. And I'm just like, I say, I

(01:00:24):
just I'm tired of people. It just seems in her case,
she's just using things for attention, and when people call
her out on it, she doesn't like it. I just,
you know, I just I don't know whether it's true
or not. I don't want to say her experience is
true or not. But you know, there's a lot of

(01:00:47):
women who use this and they hurt men or other
people in the process. I think, yeah, but there are
a lot of women to woman. Does happen exactly, And
I've got that know that's the case. It's vicious. It's
just it's just such a hateful and evil thing to
do for attenion. And I just, like I say, I am,

(01:01:11):
I'm just you know, with her with AOK. I just
when I see her, I just ignore because I mean,
she's just and you're doing that because of the politics
that you associate with her, that's why. Absolutely. But she
just you know, the policies that she wants along with
I look at the Democratic Party and half of the Republicans.
They're not American policies. They're not liberty. They don't want

(01:01:35):
individuals to have freedom. They want to control with power,
and along with powers you get money. Since we're talking
about the politics, let me let me talk about the
politics of this that is happening right now. Black Lives
Matter movement yesterday. Okay, Black Lives Matter movement yesterday put
its weight behind them, behind the member of the Squad.

(01:01:58):
You know, AOC is a little political group is called
the Squad. This particular member's name is Corey Bush. It's
a Democrat from Missouri. She has proposed to investigate and
potentially expel Republicans from the House who are opposed to

(01:02:24):
certifying the twenty twenty presidential election results following the siege
in the Capitol. Other words, she supports a movement that
would expel one hundred Republicans from Congress simply because they
opposed certifying the twenty twenty presidential election results. It's not enough.

(01:02:47):
This group, this is this is the squad. It's it's
a deal. Actually, Black Lives Matter writing it's not enough
to denounce the white supremacy behind the attack, we must
remove its endorsers from Congress. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Lauren
Berbert Republicans who voted against certifying the electoral college. Now,

(01:03:10):
if that isn't political, I don't know what is. And
Alexandria and the Democrats are trying to use the insurrection
quote unquote to expel more than one hundred Republican congressman
from Congress because they somehow wanted to object to the

(01:03:31):
certifying of the twenty twenty presidential election electoral college on
January sixth before Congress. Now that's who these people are.
Black Lives Matter put its weight behind this, the squads
movement or the Squad's effort. It's there. It's their idea,

(01:03:52):
Corey Bush, to expel one hundred members or Republican members
of Congress, and Lives Matter comes along and attaches themselves
to the idea, trying to give it. Wait. So that's

(01:04:14):
how the politics of this stuff manifests itself. Now are
these one hundred Republicans why why are there to be
expelled because they don't accept Remember yesterday we went back
to the story George Stephanopolis has got Ran Paul on
his Sunday morning show on ABC pretty much demanding that

(01:04:38):
Ran Paul admit that Joe Biden was a legitimate winner
and to denounce Trump, and Ran Paul wouldn't do it,
and Stephanopolis kept shouting at him, just say it, just
say it now. Why what does it matter. You're George Stephanopolis,
You're a journalist at ABC, still running a clint In

(01:05:00):
war room. You've got a Sunday morning show. You've got
a senator from Kentucky up there as your guest. What
does it matter what he thinks? Why is it so
important that you get Rand Paul to say it that
Joe Biden is legitimately elected. What does it matter? And

(01:05:21):
my theory is that when the leftists get going, when
they really really demand people say things that represent what
they believe, it's when they do not actually have the
ability to prove it themselves, so they go to their
political upon this. They put all this political pressure on him.

(01:05:41):
Just say it, Just say it. Joe Biden is legitimately elected, Fred,
just say it. So if you can get a Republican
senator to say it, you're off and running in convincing
everybody else. Now, Ran Paul did not say it. He
was under intense pressure to say it. And it's the

(01:06:03):
same thing. Now. See now you have AOC in her
squad demanding that one hundred Republicans be expelled from Congress
because they now pose certifying the twenty twenty presidential election
results following the deadly siege on Capitol Hill carried up

(01:06:28):
by Trump supporters. That's that's their terminology. Anyway, another brief
break as time marches rapidly fastest three hours in media.
Will be right back, get any things and to welcome back.
Tune to the most listen to radio talk show in
history and most listen to radio talk show in the country,

(01:06:49):
and it's rush Lymball. You're guiding light behind the golden
EIB microphone. You know, folks on One side effect of
the increasing number of people working remotely at home these
days is the number of cyber attacks. They're increasing. It's
not a good side effect. It makes sense when you
think about it, though few homes are made as CyberSecure

(01:07:13):
as a company office environment is. Once a home office
computer has breached or infected. A company's system and database
becomes vulnerable to attack. If your informations in that database,
then your online identity is exposed. Another sign of the
times and another reason why protecting your own online identity

(01:07:36):
is key crucial these days. And how do you do that.
You do that with LifeLock. They are the leaders in
online identity theft protection. Look, no one can prevent, no
one company can prevent all identity theft, but Lifelocks online
monitoring systems and their restoration efforts at such an important

(01:07:57):
part of this combine to give you the best protection
you can get. LifeLock monitors billions of online transactions every day.
They look for evidence that your information, your credit card numbers,
your bank accounts, all that stuff is being used illegally
and man, when they find it, they alert you, or

(01:08:20):
when they even think they've found it, they alert you
and ask you if it is you opening a new
bank account, making some purchase that's not within the pattern
of your purchases, And that's how they shut this stuff down.
Turns out you're a victim. Lifelocks restoration team steps in
and they don't stop until they have fixed what has

(01:08:42):
gone wrong. Now is the time to have LifeLock get
their protection. LifeLock dot com is the site to visit,
or you can call them and eight hundred four forty

percent off your first year LifeLock dot com offer code

(01:09:06):
rush or eight hundred and four to forty eight thirty
three and mentioned my name. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, you
gotta keep something in mind. He was about a week ago,
just last week sometime that Alexandria oh Casio Cortez accused
Ted Cruise of trying to murder her. You remember that now?

(01:09:33):
Was was she telling the truth? Then? Do you think
Ted You think Ted Cruise actually tried to murder aoc Well,
she says that he did. Was she telling the truth? Then?

(01:09:55):
You know? The question that got all of this started
about about her avulging that she had been sexually abused.
The question that got it all started was why don't
you guys just move on? The January sixth thing was
January sixth, The siege of the capital is the between
the rear view mirror. It happened. Why don't you just
move on? That's what triggered her to talk about her

(01:10:20):
alleged sexual abuse, and that's when she said, Look, these
instances of abuse don't ever go away. They compound on
one another, she said, meaning the impact is added to
each new instance of abuse. And what she went through

(01:10:41):
during the siege on January sixth was abuse on top
of which she then shared was her sexual abuse and
so forth. So put another way, she was asked why
she can't move on from January sixth, and she said,
because of her alleged sexual abuse. She politicizing, not me,

(01:11:08):
she did. Anyway, we have Sarah in Glendale, Arizona. It's
great to have you. Welcome to the program. Hi, Hi russ.
I pray for you every single day. Thank you. I
love you. So this is not about AOC. I apologize.
I can't stand her. So that's okay, believe me, don't

(01:11:31):
worry about that. Okay. Well, I just want to tell
my story real quick and just ask your advice. My
husband and I lived in New York City for over
twenty years. I was on the show America's Next Top Model,
and I had a very good career as a model
and actress in New York. And yes, I was sexually
harassed there all the time. It's just whatever. And my
husband and I said, okay, we're done. We had a
child who got married, and we said, where do you

(01:11:53):
want to move where we can be free. We are
both staunch conservatives. We were not being represented in New
York anymore. They actually hated us. I had to hide
it almost my entire career there, and so we moved
to Arizona and lo and behold. We had no idea
that Arizona was such a fractured state. I've always loved politics.
I've always been very political, and I think that's mostly

(01:12:15):
my passion, and so I really wanted to start running
for office here and get my name out there. But
it's a fract I've taught, I've gone to the meetings.
I don't think I'm entitled to anything. I don't think anything.
I've gone to meetings, I've met people, and it is
so fractured. It's almost just disheartening to say, what is
the point, Because even within the Arizona Republican Party they're fighting,

(01:12:39):
and so I don't know. And you know, my husband patient,
I'm happy Iranian. My mom flood Iran, my dad in
the nineteen seventy nine, like, we love America, we know
how amazing this country is. And I can't scream at
my TV anymore. I can't scream at everybody. I'm just like,
what do we do? What do I do? And I
would love to run for office. I was thinking of Congress,

(01:13:00):
but if I have to start, you know, Okay, but
wait a minute, now, you're not gonna do it? Is
that right? Simpic as? Arizona is so fractured you don't
think you can win. I know, I don't know because
I was a Trump supporter and I am I you know,
it's almost as if they're they're taking that away from us,
even the Republican Party. It's like, you can't even talk
about that. I would be taking on another Republican who

(01:13:24):
is in my district if I did one. Okay, very
well known person here. So I don't. I don't know.
All let me. I don't have time to answer. What
you're gonna She's going to seek my advice. I know
this because that's what it says up there as a
result of the call screening effort. But she still hasn't
gotten there. So I have to stop her because we've

(01:13:44):
got a commercial break coming up, and I can't move,
so I'm gonna I will answer your your advice question
as soon as I can. Sarah, thanks for the call,
appreciate it. We'll be back into a second. Have I
mentioned lately how much I admire the governor of Florida,
Ron DeSantis. Details coming up, but he has launched an

(01:14:08):
ambitious crackdown on big tech. Somebody with the guts to
do it. Somebody also not closing down his state because
of the COVID virus. Back in a second. Well, I
have to apologize again, ladies and gentlemen. This is a

(01:14:30):
third apology today. One I got well, this is a
second one. I got something wrong, one in the first hour,
and this one. And that is our last caller from Arizona,
Sarah in Glendale. She did ask for my advice. I
just didn't hear her. So two things happen here. You've
got a cell call with not very good reception and

(01:14:52):
somebody speaking very quickly, and I'm trying to follow it
on a transcription, and the inscription is always a little late.
It can't be instant, and so I'm trying to do
those two things at once. And she did ask for
my advice. I just didn't hear it, and I didn't
see it. So at the end of her call, I

(01:15:13):
kind of admonished her for not getting to the point
of her call, which she did. I just didn't hear it. So, Sarah,
I'm deeply sorry. I'm so sorry. I hope you can
forgive me. I just didn't hear you, didn't hear you
ask me. I'm sorry. Now in terms of the answer

(01:15:34):
to the what are you laughing at in there, well,
I didn't see it. You guys heard her. I'm sure
you heard her ask my advice, but I didn't. I
didn't realize it until later. Anyway, what I've had some
time not a study what she said. And she's trying

(01:15:58):
to go through the hoops. The party is demanding that
she go through. And for example, the party thinks the
Republican Party she wants to run for office, she's a Trumpist.
The Republican Party thinks you need to come up through
the ranks. You need to run for a local school
board or some local office and do that for a while,

(01:16:21):
then step up to dog catcher, and then step up
to something and then maybe ten years into your political career,
maybe run for Congress, either the House or the Senate.
And I think that, frankly now is bs. When I

(01:16:42):
was young, that's how things were done. When I was
in my business, that's the only way you could advance,
aside from knowing somebody. And that's always been the case.
There are elites everywhere. There is a deep state in
every organization, be it a city, a town, a big city,

(01:17:03):
a major city, doesn't matter. And if you knew somebody,
then you could use the connection. But most people didn't
know anybody high enough. So you started small and you
proved yourself and every step along the way. I had
to start a little radio station in my hometown. I
worked there for no, let's see, nineteen sixty six, stout

(01:17:24):
five years, and then I got a job at a
suburban station in Pittsburgh. You just climbed the ladder hoping
that somewhere along the way you get a break. And
I didn't get mine for twenty years Sacramento nineteen maybe
longer nineteen eighty four, so sixty six, Yeah, about twenty years.

(01:17:47):
And that's just how you did it. But today, look
at what we learned when Game stop. Some guys on
Game Stop earned enough money to put their kids through
college for four years in one day, earned enough money
in one You'll go tell them to start small. They'll
laugh you out of the room. Those and these are

(01:18:10):
generational things. It's not generationally necessary. You can still do
it that way. You can still start small, get experience,
build yourself up. But that's the long way now. And
you're going to see if you choose that route, you're
going to see other people who are not choosing that route,
and they're going to be getting ahead. They're gonna be

(01:18:31):
earning a decent amount of money. Not everybody, of course,
but some are. You'll see it. So I would apply
the same thing here to politics. It used to be
that's how you had to advance in politics, ineleectoral politics.
You'd have to start small and keep building up, build
a name for yourself, establish a good works agenda. What happened.
But now look at Trump. Trump was elected president, had

(01:18:56):
never run for anything. That's reason number one. They hate
the guy. He ran for president and won. Not supposed
to be possible, not in any way, shape, manner, or form.
That was the thing that outraged them as much as anything.

(01:19:16):
Before you even get to his personality, Before you get
to the objective, objection objectionable things about his personality and
all that, just the fact that he showed them up.
I think you don't even need any experience to be
elected to the top office in the world. He did it,

(01:19:38):
and he did it relative and he did it beating
Hillary Clinton, which that was not supposed to be possible.
So they despised the guy from the get Go for
that alone. So Sarah, whether you're a Trumpeter or not,
go for it. Take what you leave, start your campaign,

(01:20:02):
and go for it. Now, I know you're running in
a Republican primary, or well, you're running as a Republican
and the party thinks that you need to go for
school board and run on up and you'll go your
individual steps or ladder rungs or what have you. But

(01:20:22):
but you support the Trump agenda. The question you have
to ask yourself is this, does the Republican that you
would be primarying support the Trump agenda or not. If
the Republican you're gonna be running against does not support
the Trump agenda, go for it. If the Republican you're

(01:20:45):
going to be primarying does support the Trump agenda, then
you would have to ask yourself, do you want to
get into a contest where you're going to be better
at implementing and supporting and defending it than this other
guy is. But I think it's like any other job
in the world. If you want it and if you
have the passion for it, having the passion for it

(01:21:06):
is what's gonna is what's going to make you endure
all the garbage that's part of it, And there's a
lot of that no matter what the job is, in
politics or anything else, it is your passion. Like I mentioned,
I got fired seven times. My passion is what allowed
me to remain dedicated to my desires. My desires were

(01:21:31):
the top of the list of why I did what
I did and why I was willing to put up
with all the garbage. And you've got to have the
same kind of passion for what you want to do.
But don't don't let the parties antiquated thinking steal your
passion from you. If you think you're the answer, if
you think you've got the ticket, if you think you

(01:21:54):
are what people in Arizona need, then by all means,
go for it. And if you're not successful the first time,
try again. If you find out that you really love
it in this campaign, then go for it. I'm all
four people doing what they love whatever the circumstances of

(01:22:14):
the moment happen to be. There are obviously circumstances that
are going to be more opportune than others depending on
your timing. Some of them you can control, some of
them you can't. But if you've really got a passion
for this, there's no there's no way to stop you.

(01:22:35):
You'll eventually succeed at this, and you need to have
that confidence about it. That's the way that That's the
advice I would give you now, Ronda Santis, this guy
has got what we call an iron enforced spine. The
governor of Florida in a forty five minute speech this morning,

(01:23:04):
the Governor of Florida, Rhnda Santis, identified big tech companies
as the leading threat to American democracy and freedom of
expression today and pledged that Florida Republicans would take action.
He accused the tech giants of clear viewpoint discrimination, highlighting

(01:23:26):
the censorship of Donald Trump and the removal of Parlor
from the Internet and Apple and Google controlled app stores.
He said, the core issue here is this, are consumers
going to have the choice to consume the information they
choose or our oligarchs in Silicon Valley going to make

(01:23:48):
those choices for us. No group of people should exercise
such power, especially not tech billionaires in northern California. Man,
oh man, is that right? And tell me where else
do you hear anybody speaking out like in government? Yeah,
you have some op ed writers, some other people speaking

(01:24:10):
out on this, but this you don't hear elected officials
so much out. Some members of Congress do. I'm looking
for a piece that I have here it is. I
found it. Miranda Divine in the New York Post today
has a great piece on the same subject, and that

(01:24:30):
is these tech oligarchs literally running the news business, running
the opinion, They're running the information business. In America. We
are watching, let me just tell you, we are watching
the de facto merger of media and social media and

(01:24:53):
state government, the merger of giant corporations and state. This
is when Democrats control Washington. The propaganda arm of the
Democrat Party has never been more powerful than today. And

(01:25:14):
don't forget that they've got Antifa and Black Lives Matter
soldiers as their military arm. Republicans who do not cave
to the extraordinary pressure exerted on them in Washington today.
You know who they are. They're tomorrow's leaders. Republicans who

(01:25:35):
do not cave to all of this are tomorrow's leaders.
Trump is the model going forward. Yes, sir, ree, my friends,
Donald Trump is the model. You find something interesting? It
was just made where to me. I got a note
from somebody's you know, it's been two weeks. We haven't

(01:25:57):
heard from Trump at all. Two weeks that hasn't happened
in four years, two weeks. In these same two weeks,
we've heard nothing but Trump, Trump, Trump from the Democrats
and the media. And I had the same observation today.
I was watching CNN and they were doing a story

(01:26:18):
about how incompetent the Trump team was last December in
the Oval Office, and I said to myself, is it
so bad that there's no news that the only story
you've got is what a rotten guy Trump was last December.
It was a story about how conspiracy theories were the

(01:26:39):
dominant subject in a knockdown, drag out discussion conversation the
Oval Office in the middle of December. I'm saying, you know,
we've got a brand new president. We've got we've got
all kinds of stuff happening. We've got the impeachment coming up,
and all you guys at CNN can do is a long,
drag out story on Donald Trump's December. He's gone, he's

(01:27:04):
no longer president. It doesn't matter, and yet it does.
Apparently to them, they are not going to let up
on the gas pedal folks. They're going to continue whatever
they think they have to do to destroy the guy,
to impugne the guy, to ruin the guy, his family supporters.

(01:27:24):
They're not going to let up on the gas. Just amazing.
So here's Miranda Divine says, and Facebook's squad of thought
police is her piece. She says, when you when you
see him speak, it's hard to believe that such a
gormless geek as Mark Zuckerberg may be the most powerful

(01:27:49):
person in the free world. But socially inept tech oligarchs
now wield unprecedented power to censordical thought and speech, and
they are transforming America into an authoritarian surveillance state for now,

(01:28:09):
And that's the key in that sentence. For now, it
is conservatives that they are silencing and demonizing in partnership
with the Democrat Party for now. But after a while,
when they think that they've finished that, they're going to
move on to whoever else is insolent, and they're going

(01:28:30):
to begin to demonize and silence that group. Who will
it be, we don't know, but they're not going to
stop exercising this power they have simply by vanquishing conservatives.
This kind of power you have fun using, and they're
going to be doing it day in and day out.

(01:28:53):
Now we already know Silicon Valley leans left, but the
partisan power of big tech was laid bare this month
when they acted in concert to censor Donald Trump and
his seventy four million voters, and then crushed free speech

(01:29:13):
competitor Parlor. Now Facebook has turbo charged its woke corporate
agenda with a new vice president of civil rights and
Obama administration alumnus obsessed with systemic police racism, and a
global oversight board of retired politicians and human rights active

(01:29:35):
has paid to rubber snamp Facebook's crackdown on conservatives aka
domestic terrorists. So Facebook has hired a new squad of
thought police aimed at conservatives for now. For now, Trump

(01:29:59):
is the model going forward. He hasn't spy. I think
there's two weeks he has not said a word. The
Democrats have doing nothing, have done nothing but talk about Trump.
I think they've been trying to get Trump to reactive
and trying to get Trump to say something in response
to what they're doing. He has not taken the bait,

(01:30:22):
but they can't forget him. They can't. They're not going
to ever be able to hear the media see it,
and will never see today where they do not lead
with a story on the Trump administration, even if it's
three years from now. Quick time out, because we got
to go back in just a second, folk stayed with us.
Have a story here on the White House Press Secretary

(01:30:44):
Jen Pasaki and I want to get into it with
an audio sound bite. This was from her press briefing
just this afternoon. In the White House Press brief, a
reporter said, the impeachment managers have laid out their case.
Trump's team is leaving open the door, it seems to

(01:31:04):
arguing election fraud in this trial to repeating the false
claim is that somehow Trump won the election those same
false claims it fueled the riot. Is this administration concerned
that the former president's defense could incite further violence in Washington?

(01:31:26):
Certainly watching reactions in the country. Watching the potential for
violence is something that we will do closely from the
White House across the country, no matter what prompts it.
And that's something we will certainly keep an eye on.
But you know, I think in this case, as you know,

(01:31:46):
there have been dozens and dozens of court cases that
have been debunked. Boy, this woman says, um a lot uh,
and that's something we will all certainly keep an eye on. Um.
But um, you know, in this case, as you know, um,
there have been dozens and you talk about communication wandering

(01:32:08):
in vain search of a thought. We will monitor the
country for violence during the impeachment trial to see once
again setting the stage mind control run around all this.
All it took was for a question from an unidentified reporter.
So Trump's team is leaving open the possibility that they

(01:32:33):
might claim falsely that Trump won the election, and these
same false claims are what fueled the riot. Are you
worried that Trump could incite further violence? That's all It
takes an innocuous question from an unidentified reporter and you

(01:33:01):
have a brand new story that the Biden administration will
be monitoring America for violence during the impeachment trial, even
though we don't have any hard evidence that anything like
that will happen. Such a load folks at the Sun.

(01:33:23):
The story about Jen Pasaki, this is a bright bart story.
Report shows Biden staff pre screening Pasaki press briefing questions.
You know, this woman, Jen Pasaki, worked with Hilary in

(01:33:45):
many of the last four years. She doesn't know the
answer to most of the questions she's asked. She's got
this thing, she's I'll circle back to you on that.
But their presquitness means the White House Press Corps is
submitting their questions in advance to staff, who is then

(01:34:06):
briefing Pasaki on them before she's asked them. A quick question,
do you think there's a civil war going on in
the Republican Party right now? The drive by media believes
that there is a civil war going on in the

(01:34:27):
Republican Party. I'll weigh in on it here in just
a second. I want to get back to this story
at Breitbart about Jennifer Pasaki pre screening press briefing. Question
is this is a new one. They never even accused
Sean Spicer of that she's pre screening, which means that

(01:34:51):
the assembled multitudes of press people have to willingly go
along with this. They've got to submit their questions. Imagine
how the stories must go. Look, we really want to
answer a question we got We gotta submit this to
the Press secretary so that she can she can prepare

(01:35:12):
her response and give you the most up to date
answer that she can, and the press cuss says, sure,
whatever you need, have no doubt now. Later on in
this story, there is an allusion to the way the

(01:35:33):
press is going to be covering the new Biden administration
in general. I get this paragraph Jim Acosta CNN in
an Atlantic piece published in December. So he was interviewed
by The Atlantic for story or doing basically, see what
are you gonna do? When Trump so longer the White House?

(01:35:54):
What are you gonna do? I can tell you they're
still gonna be talking about Trump. That's all ever doing
this morning. Jim Acosta said in this interview to The Atlantic,
I don't think the press should be trying to whip
up the Biden presidency and turn it into must see
TV in a contrived way. Oh you mean you don't

(01:36:17):
think that CNN should treat the Biden administration the identical
way you treated the Trump administration in a contrived way.
You tried to whip the Trump presidency and turn it
into must see TV on the premise that Trump never

(01:36:38):
told the truth, he never was honest about anything. He
was a reprobating scum. But you don't think it's necessary.
You don't think the press should be trying to do
the same thing with the Biden presidency. Now we understand
that these people are going to make they've already have

(01:36:59):
moved back to quote unquote normalcy as rapidly as they can.
Then there is this from CNN reporter Daniel Dale. He
was also interviewed for the piece in the Atlantic, and
he said that his job would quote not be a
twenty four hours, seven day a week job to fact

(01:37:21):
check Biden because the simple reality is that Biden doesn't
lie nearly as often as Trump does. And so no,
we're not going to be fact checking of a guy,
and we're not going to be assuming that Biden is
lying every time he speaks like we did with Trump,
because Biden doesn't lie as often as Trump did or does.

(01:37:43):
That is your drive by media, ladies and gentlemen, the
latest incarnation drive by media. Sheila in Oahu, Hawaii. Great
to have you on the EIB Network. Hello Aloha, rush Oh,

(01:38:04):
thank you. Hi. I just wanted to stay first that
my husband and I pray for you every night. Well,
thank you. I appreciate it, we all do. Thank you
very much. And my question is I've heard a lot
of things today, but going back to this AOC situation,
I'm just a little bit concerned about her mental well being.
I mean, she believes that Ted Cruz is having her

(01:38:26):
murdered and now she's bringing up this horrible situation that
whether she went through it or not, we don't know.
But my question to you, because you're so brilliant, is
do the members of Congress also have aptitude tests or
you know, because President Trump, they always question his sanity.
Of course, Bidens will probably be tested very soon, and

(01:38:48):
I was just wondering if the members of Congress also
have this scrutiny, you know, because their constituents deserve it.
So I'm going to throw that back to you and
see if you can enc Wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait wait, I've never heard aptitude test are you
talking about? Well, I mean they've always said, you know
that they're not fit for duty because of you know
their ways of thinking, and I'm just wondering. I mean,

(01:39:12):
the girl may need some you know, counseling or something,
and she does believe the techne you're using your own language.
There There is no aptitude test that members of Congress
have to pass to prove their qualifications. You're just that's
how you're describing the Democrats, talking about the Republicans not

(01:39:36):
being worth their salved or whatever. Anyway, Sheila, thanks much
for the call. I appreciate it. I got a run.
We'll be back in just second. They'll go away. Hi,
welcome back, Rush Limbaugh. Half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair and as always, talent on
the laan from God. We utilize both factors each and

(01:39:59):
their every day. Okay, folks, you shop for the best
price you can find on insurance, on home mortgages, on
vacation travel, maybe even cheeseburgers. I don't know, So why
not do the same thing with cellular phone service. It's
not like your other utility bills electricity or water, where
you have little say over how much your big bill is.

(01:40:23):
Your cell phone number is your own, and who you
choose for cellular services. All up to you. One company
makes a compelling offer, it's worth thinking about. One company
makes such a compelling offer it's worth thinking about. It's
Pure Talk. They offer you unlimited talk, text and six

(01:40:46):
gigs of data for just thirty dollars a month. And
guess what, if you go over on the data, they
don't charge you for it. Pure Talk, they don't charge you.
Now you know why. I mean, six data is a
lot of data. The average ordinary American that is a
tremendous amount of data. So they're pretty safe on that.

(01:41:09):
But even so, if you go over it, they will
not charge you. Compare that monthly price thirty dollars a
month to your current cell phone bill and you'll see
why it makes sense to change. Now. I don't know
what your cell phone bill is, but I would wager
you that it's sixty bucks or more, maybe one hundred

(01:41:33):
and twenty, maybe seventy five or more. This outfit, pure Talk,
is offering you on limited talk, on limited text, and
six gigs of data for thirty dollars a month. Now,
Pure Talk knows they're in the same business with the
likes of AT and T and Verizon and T Mobile.

(01:41:55):
In fact, get this, they use the same cell towers
of one of the big companies that covers ninety nine
percent a country. I'm not allowed to tell you which one,
but trust me, they use the same cell towers meaning
connectivity as one of the big companies. They offer superior service.

(01:42:19):
One hundred percent of the pure Talk customer support team
is right here in America. So you make one phone
call to them today. You can start to save money
by switching to pure Talk. All you do is get
your cell phone and dial pound two fifty next you
say pure Talk. It's that simple. You'll say fifty percent

(01:42:43):
off your first month. That's pound two five zero, and
then say pure Talk. One of the pure Talk customer
service people be right there on the phone to help you.
And by the way, it's legit thirty dollars a month
on limited talk text and say gigs of David, Pure
Talk USA. Okay, who's next, Gary Cape May, New Jersey.

(01:43:06):
Great to have you, sir, Hello, Thank you very much,
Mega prayers. Rush. Two things I wanna tell you Rush
Number one quite apologizing. You have nothing to apologize for.
If people can't keep up with what you're saying, so bad,
but we understand what you're saying thank you, sir very much.
I appreciate that. And number two, over the last few weeks,
i've heard you said you feel you've failed in getting

(01:43:27):
your message out there about liberalism. I want for you
to know that you have absolutely not failed. You have
not failed, sir. We understand. Okay, we wish you all
the best, be well. Well, thank you, know, I really
appreciate that. Let me share something that I saw this morning,
also during a show prep period, and it's it was Fox,

(01:43:52):
so it's not going to appear anywhere but there, But
there were some Keystone XL pipeline workers who've been let
go because Biden has shut it down, and they were
reacting to having their jobs taken away, eliminated, and they

(01:44:12):
were they were bemoaning the fact that they now got
to rely on fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage, or
they've now got to rely on selling solar panels. And
I'm watching this and I don't know if any of
the people looked like about fifteen people who were part
of the protest. I don't know if any of them

(01:44:33):
listen to this program, but I kept I just couldn't
stop thinking, why are you people surprised? What do you
think the Democrat Party is what do you think all
this climate change argument is about. It's it's it's clear

(01:44:55):
as a bell that they have no desire to win
Hans your life. They're taking jobs away from you. This
is what Biden's administration or hell been undoing. They want
you to become dependent on them. They want you to
become the old term award of the state. You're not

(01:45:17):
supposed to have enough power to oppose them, so they
shut down the Keystone Xel pipeline and tell you to
go out and sell solar panels or whatever. You're supposed
to be grateful. Now. I was happy to see these
guys standing up and protesting, but I found myself asking
how many of them voted for Biden or how many
of them vote for Democrats. I don't know, there's no

(01:45:39):
way of knowing, but it was along the lines of me,
suppose they listen to me, Suppose they've heard me talk
about all this and they didn't pay it any attention,
or maybe they did, maybe they voted for Trump, and
I'm just I don't know what I'm talking about, but
it was the odds are that there are a lot

(01:46:01):
of people coal miners a lot of people voted for
Biden who had no idea what he's going to do
and what's yet to come. That's why I say they're
going to overstep, and it isn't going to take them long,
and it isn't going to be pretty when all kinds
of people start to figure it out. Just enough time

(01:46:22):
to say thanks to everybody for being with us today.
We're going to get out of here real quickly because
time is slipping away. And as always, think who who
was on stand by today as guest host Mark Stein,
Thank you again, mister Stein for standing by today. We'll
be back soon
