PODCAST SUMMARY HOUR 1:

Mark Steyn guest hosts for Rush on Tuesday. Millions without power in Texas amid Winter Storm Warning. Rush audio monologue: Your host had Cuomo pegged from the start of COVID. Worldwide curfews. The Afghan War of public health crises. Red state power falls into blue hands. Texas panhandle. Florida is the only free state on this continent. Cuomo is the savior and DeSantis is the opposite. Backlash against other officials with COVID mandates for nursing homes. Janice Dean calls for signing the petition to impeach Cuomo.

PODCAST SUMMARY HOUR 2:

Make this show, and Rush Limbaugh, a part of your homeschooling curriculum. Biden isn’t making the important calls; Harris is. Why is the vice president so important now? King Cuomo should be removed from office or just lose his emergency powers. Taliban has a workplace accident. With the swamp is back, endless wars are back. The time will never be right ever again. A one-shot "armed insurrection." Half of the country demands we live with a blizzard of lies. Becoming hard totalitarian: The criminalization of opposition.

PODCAST SUMMARY HOUR 3:

China is in a hurry as they know they’ll be the world power by the end of Biden’s term. Trumpism needs a Trump-sized figure. A history of modern American conservatism. Oregon says showing work in math is white supremacy. Blue states botching the vaccine rollout. Do you know how to circle back? China uses a combination of military force and theft to its advantage. We still treat China like a developing nation. The biggest mistake of the pandemic. China must be punished and Obama is to blame. Remember Ashley Babbit’s name.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Russia Limbo Show podcast. Yes,
America's anchor man is away. You know why that is.
Rush continues to recover from I think last week was
treatment week. He's resting up and we hope he's feeling

(00:23):
better and we'll be back behind the Golden EIB microphone
very soon. You can do your bit to make him
feel better. You can go to Rush limbar dot com
and you'll see above the banner that says the Russian
Limbo Show on the horizontal menu bar, there's a button
called Share your Stories and if you press that button,

(00:45):
you can send a message to Rush and help cheer
him up and ensure he will be back behind the
Golden EIB microphone sooner than previously thought. But he had
his treatment last week, I believe, and it's going well
and we hope to have him back and at full strength.

(01:05):
And as you know, if you've been listening through the
twelve months since he told you what was going on,
you'll know that there's no improvement on full strength Rush.
You need to stand well back from the receiving apparatus.
It's not something you don't want eighty percent Rush, you
don't want forty percent Rush. So we're gonna leave it

(01:26):
until Rush feels like he is ready to return. But
we will have a word from Rush a little later.
If you're missing the sound of his voice, and many
people do. I would also like to give our best
wishes if any of them are listening, any of you
are listening, because I would imagine that there are some

(01:48):
people who who's normal device for listening to this show
isn't working. If you're in Texas and certain other states. Today,
one hundred and fifty million Americans, a little under half
the country, are under severe winter storm warnings. In the
great state of Texas, there are millions and millions of

(02:11):
people without power. When I look at this county map
of where the power outages are, it's incredible to me.
There's basically no corner of the state unaffected except that
far northern bit that sticks up above all the rest.
That's the only place that's I can't see a single

(02:32):
power outage there at the moment. But as your head south,
the map starts turning all the scary shades of yellow
and orange and red and red. Means there's sixty percent
of the people in the county without power, and there
are quite a few red counties on the Texas map.

(02:53):
And there's something faintly ridiculous about this, because Texas has
been blessed almost no other place on Earth by a tremendous,
rich bounty of energy in the form of oil and gas.

(03:13):
And unfortunately, by the time this storm hit, twenty three
percent of Texas' energy was provided by wind, by wind turbines,
which most people are now familiar with. You can see
them all over. They stuck them on top of a

(03:33):
mountain not too far from where I am, right here
in the far northeast. And similarly, they stuck them in
the middle of the California Desert, where I believe they're
known as the condor quisin Art because they're so good
at slicing and dicing all those attractive birds. But Texas

(03:54):
had them to twenty three percent of Texas' energy came
from wind, and all the wind turbines froze, and that's
the principal reason why they're out of energy. And I
was thinking, you know the other day, of the Bible,
which I ought to think of more often, really, because

(04:14):
there's a lot of good sense in there. When Pharaoh
calls in Joseph and they start talking about the seven
fat years and the seven lean years, and how important
it is when you're enjoying the seven fat years to
make provision for the seven lean years. And we do that.
We talk about that all the time. We worry about

(04:36):
sea levels in the Maldives in the twenty second century,
and so we have to make provision for it. Now
we're totally focused on the future and the lean years
and the prospects it made. And it turns out we've
been planning for exactly the wrong kind of seven lean years.
And that's how you wind up with a situation as

(04:57):
in Texas where twenty three an oil rich state, an
oil rich state where twenty three percent of the of
the energy supplies dependent on wind turbines that freeze. My
dear old friend Boris Johnson, who due to some typing
error wound up becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,

(05:21):
said on CBS the other day that he wanted the
UK to become the Saudia, the Saudi Arabia of wind.
Boris all by himself could be the Saudi Arabia of wind. Frankly,
but that is that is why that kind of talk
is why you wind up with exactly the wrong kind

(05:42):
of planning for the seven lean years. I'll say one
other thing about Texas too, is it's amazing to me
how so many red states. Well, it's not really amazing.
I think it's the logical. It's it's it's basically the
natural result of Republicans and the broader right vote focusing

(06:03):
their energies only on electoral results. And meanwhile, even in
red states, all the other levers of power fall into
blue hands. So even though you have the reddest of
red states, don't mess with Texas. All had no cattle,
ten gallon had drilling and oil well all the way

(06:24):
all the Texas's image. You've got twenty three percent of
the state's energy dependent on these wind turbines. And that's
not just true in terms of that particular issue. The
reddest of red states anywhere in the country is full
of blue school districts indoctrinating your children all the time.

(06:48):
And so you occasionally something happens, and I wish we
didn't have to talk about it like this, but occasionally
something happens where that reveals how ostensibly red state that
elects red congressman, red senators, red governors, red legislatures. Nevertheless,
all the important levers of power are in Blue hands,

(07:12):
and that is something, particularly after November, that the Republicans
need to give some thought to. I said we were
going to have a word from Rush. The other big
story around at the moment is the Democrats turning on
Andrew Cuomo. New York State is a one party state.
So the only way you're going to get rid of
Andrew Cuomo is when Democrats decide they loathe him, and

(07:35):
the Democrats stuck with him, and then eventually, because he's
not he's an arrogant, unlikable person, eventually they decided our,
screw it. Let's I'm sick of this guy. It's driving
me nuts having to live with him. Let's totally stab
him in the back and screw him and get him over.
And So Andrew Cuomo, whose policy of actually warehousing COVID

(07:59):
positive to patience in long term care facilities absolutely accelerated
the death rate in his state, is now on the ropes,
and whether or not he will survive remains to be seen.
But Rush had this guy's number in the early weeks
of the COVID crisis. His Rush from May last year,

(08:23):
the Blue state idiocy is epitomized by Andrew Cuomo. Good grief,
what this guy has done, folks. Try this headline here
in New York City starts historic overnight subway shutdowns for
virus linked disinfecting. Now this comes after Trump was laughed

(08:48):
at and marked and made a joke of for finding
ways to use disinfectant to help out. So Andrew Cuomo
goes to a subway car, many of which have been
taken over by Blue state homeless who are infecting people
left and right. And he goes up there and he

(09:09):
starts spraying disinfecting on a subway car, and he starts
talking about why this is revolutionary, why we've never done
this before. Who knew that you could disinfect a subway car?
Who knew you could disinfect these? Do you disinfect your
toilet at home? Governor did you grow up not knowing
how that happened? Did your mom disinfect the toilet or
did it maid come in? And do you have any

(09:30):
idea how Cleland is happen. The guy was shocked and
stunned you could disinfect a subway car. So now he's
getting harolded as being a great governor for disinfecting the
New York City subway after not disinfecting it. It was
one of the greatest condensations of close proximity people. It

(09:51):
was a breathing ground for the virus, and this ace
kept it open to the head to keep it over
because all the essential jobs and services people need the
subway to get to work. Well, that and his nursing
home debacle is why New York leads the country in
infections and deaths. And yet this guy has heralded as

(10:15):
the next Democrat savior, the next Democrat. No, it's absurd,
it's obscene. The media makes heroes out of genuine dunces
who have put people in this country at great risk,
and it mocks and laughs at and impugnes genuine, competent,
serious people who have been doing a great job, as

(10:35):
in these red state governors, many of whom who didn't
even see the need to shut down New York City
subway system, the nation's largest, went silent in the early
morning hours Wednesday, as the normally round the clock system
shut down for train disinfecting service was curtailed in late March,
but is now being stopped entirely from one am to

(10:57):
five am every day. Get this, it's the first time
in one hundred and fifteen years. Service hasn't been twenty
four to seven except in times of emergence, and Governor
Andrew Cuomo says that there's no way to know when
service will return to normal. Of course not he's only

(11:18):
the governor. He doesn't know, Jack. I mean, this is
just flat out amazing. And then we haven't even talked
about this. Guy put infected people in nursing homes. Nursing homes.
It's like putting them into the crypt. It defies explanation.
Nursing homes are the single greatest outside of New York,

(11:41):
someway greatest concentration of noted cases in depths. And not
just in New York. It's happened in other Blue states
where Blue state governors have decided that people they didn't want,
let's pack them off to the nursing homes. So Cuomo
put infected people in nursing homes. That led to thousands

(12:03):
of deaths. And now he's just figured out the cleaning disinfecting.
You remember what an idiot Trump was, Remember what a
fool Donald Trump was, But what a genius, What a compassionate, caring,
empathetic genius, Andrew Cuomo is because he's got the idea

(12:27):
two months after the fact that he's going to clean
the New York City subway. The Democrats in the media
have been literally fawning all over Cuomo. He was just
named you know this, mister snurdler. I know this is
going to issue out. He would just name the most
eligible man in New York. That's right, that's right, you

(12:51):
can I know and see. The thing is, these blue
state failures, these arrogant, conceited liberal elites who have caused
this country more trouble than you can possibly imagine, are
built up, harolded, converted into heroes, get nothing but great
publicity and great coverage in the media, and they pause

(13:16):
actual dangers. That was the one and only rush nailing
Andrew Cuomo to the wall nine months ago, in the
early weeks of this thing, May sixth, twenty twenty right here.
And I know this has been a long break without

(13:36):
the man himself, the big voice on the right, and
it is a big voice. And I had so many
notes from people who said that apart from anything else,
and not just because there's a foreigner behind the mic,
but they said they wanted just to hear Rush's voice.
They missed Rush's voice. That is Rush's voice nine months

(13:57):
ahead of everybody else explaining the insanity of what Andrew
Cuomo was doing in New York. While the court eunuchs
of the American media, I can barely the court eunuchs
of the American media. They've got some CNN's got some
story today about how Biden likes a log far in

(14:21):
the Oval Office. An he's such a man of the
people that occasionally he even puts his own log on
the fire. Can you imagine that in it the citizen
representative who heads a democratic republic. And yet and yet
he's capable of actually walking to the fire and putting
a log on himself without calling for the deputy Assistant

(14:45):
Undersecretary of log adding to do it for him. Amazing
the court eunuchs of the American media who fetted this butcher,
this blood soaked butcher in the state of New York
with over an obviously insane policy. And Rush got it right.
Rush got it right. May sixth, twenty twenty eight hundred

(15:09):
two two two eight e two Mark Stein on America's
number one radio show, Lots more Ahead. Mark Stein in
for Rush on the excellence in broadcasting Networker for the
benefit of residents of New York City. I should just
clarify a bit from what Rush was saying last May.

(15:30):
He was referring to the hitherto twenty four seven New
York Subway being shut down between the hours of one
and five in the morning. The government of New York
has now decided to loosen the chains a little, and
in fact the subway is only shut down between two

(15:54):
and four in the morning, but it is still as
Rush mentioned, this is the first time in over one
hundred and fifteen years that the subway has not been
running twenty four seven. Actually, you know, you could have
it a lot worse. I mean, so many places around
the world have serious curfews. In France, in Paris, not

(16:20):
just in Paris, been all of empty rural France. Who
there's a curfew from six pm to six am. That's
twelve hours a day. You have to you have to
be inside by six pm, you know. In other words,
if you're like ten miles from home and it's getting
to five thirty pm, you have to think, oh wait,
I've got to get over back home before six pm.

(16:43):
Don't want to be caught out after curfew. During the
German occupation of France, the curfew was only seven hours
every night. Now it's twelve hours every night. I mean,
I don't do the Hitler comparisons because I think they're
cheap and glib and too easy. But actually in this case,
I don't do the Hitler comparisons because they're unfair to

(17:07):
poor old Hitler. The present, the present curfew in France
is almost twice as long, twelve hours a day, as
it was under German occupation when it was seven hours
a day. And we are now approaching the second anniversary
of this thing, and there is no end in sight,

(17:28):
and there's no plans for there to be any end insight.
It's basically the Afghan War of public health crisis. You
go in two weeks to flatten the Taliban, and twenty
years later you're still running around there. And that's exactly
the way it is going to be with this particular
public health crisis. And the reason the Cuomo thing is

(17:52):
important is because he exemplifies the great failure here. It's
not just that we've locked down millions and millions of people, unnecessary,
people who are no threat to any it's it's not
just that we've managed to make our children even more stupid,
which is actually, frankly, given the levels of public education,

(18:14):
a rather astonishing feat by taking them out of school
for a year, desocializing them and all the rest of it.
But it's that we've utterly failed to protect. In other words,
we made things worse for those who were the most vulnerable.
We killed far more old people. Andrew Cuomo killed far

(18:38):
more old people than he should have. Hey, great to
be with you. Rush is out today, and you know
what that means. If you want to send a quick
greeting to him and you get through on the telephone
at one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two,

(18:58):
you can always just say mega prayers, which was something
a listener came up with when I had the misfortune
to be here the day following Rush's announcement of his
cancer over a year ago now, and a listener said, well,
you know, in the old days, someone came up with

(19:20):
mega dittos, and so now we should do mega prayers,
and we having known mega prayers, and Rush believes in
the power of prayer, and your prayers mean a lot
to him. So if you want to do the mega prayers,
or if you want to put your prayer on the
website directly, you can go to rush lymbar dot com

(19:40):
and click the share your stories tab. You know, we
are all a bit guest hosted out, including the guest hosts,
because I get it. Like a guest host, it's kind
of cute to have once every three months or whatever.
But a guest host, like your guests, can quickly out

(20:03):
where they're welcomes, and particularly when the guest host is
a foreigner. Byron Williamson says to me, I was talking
about Texas, the one bit that is unafflicted by these
power outages from the frozen wind turbines. I said, it's
the bit that sticks up north out of the as
if it's protruding from the rest of the state. And

(20:25):
Byron Williamson says, hey, Mark, that bit that extends far
up north in Texas is called the Texas Panhandle. Here
you will meet some of the most conservative people in
the US. Come pay us a visit. Anytime I have
actually been there. For some reason, I wound up I
was going to Oklahoma, but I wound up flying into

(20:47):
deck Texas. I guess would come in at Dallas, Fort
Worth and then I drove up through the through what
did I call it, the bit that sticks up north
from the rest of the state, to get to head
up out of that, and I did, I had. I

(21:08):
had a lovely time there. Actually stayed a couple of
nights there on the way back with some friends who
were in that area. But I'm as you can see,
that's the part. I'm a bit like those customer service
things when you dial customer service and you come through
to Rajeev and Suresh in Bangalore and they pretend to

(21:30):
be budd and Chip, and eventually, although it's very cleverly done,
eventually you start to suspect that they're not quite as
red blooded and all American and located in the lower
forty eight as you might have thought when you first
style that one eight hundred number and didn't realize you
were coming through to a call center on the other

(21:51):
side of the planet. I'm a bit like that too,
and we regret that, and it's just it's just the
way it is. But I love the priviledge of getting
to guest hosts this show. We are all here, we
all serve at Rush's pleasure. That's the only reason we're here.
And Rush has been kind enough to let me do

(22:12):
this for almost fifteen years now, which is I never
thought i'd say this either, But that's that's pretty close
to half the history of this show, which is extraordinary
to me. So I thank Rush for that great honor.
We were talking about what's happening with Andrew Cuomo and

(22:33):
the likelihood that he is going to be impeached or
recalled only because the Democrats have decided that they that
they've had enough of him, because he's such a personally
unpleasant person. It's not they don't really mind how many
people he kills, how much blood he's got on his hands,

(22:54):
They've obviously got a high tolerance for that kind of thing,
but because he as um basically being just too personally
repulsive to them, because he's basically such a loathsome arrogant
slug that they can't stand him for that. Now. The
person who's who's just been kept on and on and

(23:16):
on with Andrew Cuomo is Janice Dean, who does the
weather on Fox and Friends on the Telly in the morning,
and Janie is my fellow Canadian. It's like a whole
secret network of covert Canadians out there all over the place.

(23:38):
Jannis Dean is Canadian. She's going to be the first
Canadian governor of New York, mister Snurdley, she's my fellow
Ontarian and uh and she's had as I said, we're
like everywhere, well like everywhere. It's it's like Eric Swollwell, yeah, no,
it's not. It's like, it's not it's not. It's like

(23:59):
when you get beyond all the conspiracies, You've got the Freemasons,
you've got the builder Burghers, you've got the international Jewish conspiracy,
and above the international Jewish conspiracy comes the international Canadian conspiracy.
Mister Sadly, the Canadians are all everywhere, and Janice is
going to be the first Canadian governor of New York

(24:19):
because what happened to her was absolutely I mean, basically,
the policies of New York State killed her father in
law and killed her mother in law within a few
days of each other. And we've got we've got something
that is completely insane going on here. Is that because
lockdown has failed. Essentially, because lockdown has failed, the world

(24:42):
can never come out of lockdown. And it doesn't really
matter if a jurisdiction here or there comes out of lockdown,
like Florida is out of lockdown, Sweden's out of lockdown.
South Dakota's out of lockdown, Estonia, bell Rus snow lockdown
because because they'll quarantine those from the rest of the

(25:06):
world or even in the United States. Rhonda Santis has
been having to deal with this absurd plan of the
Biden administration to quarantine his state from the rest of America.
Now there's actually no difference. Florida is the nearest thing
to normal life on this continent Florida, and I envy

(25:31):
I've had. I've got a couple of friends of mine
who live mostly in London and Quebec, but they happen
to have, like a lot of Canadian snowbirds, they happen
to have a home in Florida rather near a rush
in fact, at Palm Beach, and they couldn't wait to

(25:52):
get Then it took them ages. They had to I
forget how many countries and fake passports sewn into their jacket.
They had to eventually get to the free state of Florida,
where they were immediately vaccinated by that state's efficient vaccination program.
And they're enjoying as close to normal life as you

(26:16):
can get on this continent. And meanwhile, and the same
with the Lisa Booth from Fox News, Lisa who always
struck me as a like a very New York kind
of gal, loved the city, loved to wake up in
a city that doesn't sleep. And then one day she
woke up and found that the entire city had gone

(26:37):
to sleep. It was in a coma, and it was
never going to come out of the coma. And she
moved to Florida because she wanted normal life. And the
Biden ad minister and all you need to know to
recognize how sick the court eunuchs of the American media
are is that Cuomo has been venerated as a hero.

(26:58):
He's got an Emmy Award, he got a book deal,
He's fawned on by these ludicrous late night comedians that
afflict the networks here. Just awful people, people who don't
tell any They've got huge writing staffs who sit there
all day to come up with jokes, and they don't

(27:19):
write any jokes. Instead, they write something that advertises the
host has the correct attitude, and you, the audience, are
expected to applaud him because you also have that attitude
and he's reflecting the attitude you have back atude. No jokes, No,

(27:40):
who was that lady I saw you with last night? No?
Why did the chicken cross the road? Know? How many
public health officials does it take to change a lightbulb?
No actual jokes, just striking the correct attitudes and inviting
the audience to applaud for seeing their own attitudes reflected
back of them. It's that I'm always amazed that the

(28:02):
things that contemporary progressivism can kill, including jokes, which is
a real because a society without jokes is basically that's
as good a definition of a totalitarian society as any.
And that's and that's the world. That's the world we

(28:23):
that's been built for us now. And so they have
promoted Cuomo as the savior and DeSantis as the guy
who's doing everything you're not meant to do. I've just
been looking at these this comparison between Florida and California.
California went into super mega hyper lockdown except for that

(28:46):
idiot Governor Newsome getting to dine at his fancy French
restaurant with the three hundred and twenty five dollar appetizers.
And basically there's no difference because the virus does well
it wants to do anyway. So you can lock down,
you cannot lock down, and you lock down controls the citizenry,

(29:09):
it doesn't control the virus, which is why the numbers
and the curves and the trend lines are all exactly
the same. The only difference is that the Biden administration
has no plans to quarantine California from the rest of
the country, whereas they're building they got plans to build
a Berlin Wall on the southern border of Georgia. To

(29:33):
penn Floridians in their crazy stuff. Mark stein in for
Rush one eight hundred two eight two eight eight two
will take your calls straight ahead. The best part of
this show it is, of course you the listener, and
even more specifically you the caller. On one eight hundred
two eight two two eight eight two. Fast Up today

(29:55):
on America's number one radio show is Gary from Pittsburgh,
Pencil Vania. What's on your mind? Gave you great to
have you with us? Yes him, Mark makeup prayers to Rush,
you know, thank you for that. Um Well, what's on
my mind is Como is getting a lot of attention
in New York, which he deserves. But I'm in Pennsylvania.

(30:17):
I'm right outside of Pittsburgh, and my mother's in the
nursing home. He wolf Hair, he just followed Como's footsteps.
He did everything Komo did. He just followed whatever Como did.
And Uh, they're all in the nursing homes here. My
mother once she's in. All the patients around or died

(30:41):
that had it and she survived it. Uh, she didn't
get it bad. But here's how this want his health
secretary Rachel Levine. Um, she ordered her to put the
you know, these patients, COVID patients in with the nursing homes.

(31:03):
And before she did it, Um, she pulled her mother
out right or her mother the nursing home and put
her in a hotel and in her and then and
then Rachel must have graduated, because she moved on to
be Uh. I guess you gotta raise. She moved on
to be Wolf's health secretary. I guess you needed help

(31:24):
up there in the middle of this mess. So she
moved from here up and now she's his assistance up
there was Wolf from my I am understanding. Yeah, she's
actually in Uh she Biden has made her Uh whatever
she is Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services or

(31:45):
whatever it's. Yeah, she graduated the Biden. Yeah, she's his.
She's history in the making because, as Jen Saki said,
she is the first transgender appointment to a US administration
to require the confirmation of the Senate, whatever that means.

(32:08):
She's an historic first that Biden is boasting about, whereas
in fact, she ought to have been impeached and removed
from office for making making the making your mother undergo
something that she was not prepared for her own mother
to undergo. In other words, she yanked her her mom

(32:28):
out of there and and told your mom, tough, the
the the the gates have been locked, and you're stuck.
Best best best, best of luck with the COVID. I
got mine out of here. And and for that, she
was gonna we thought she was gonna die. And a
week um and see her. We haven't seen here. No,

(32:49):
I mean, and this is so what and and this
is what is so horrible. And people say, oh, well,
don't don't worry. You can you can still, you can
still talk to the kids, can still talk to grandmother
and grandpa. By zoom, you think you think you're ninety
three year old Grandma is hip to zoom. I mean,
this has been terrible, terrible, terrible. For what we have

(33:12):
done would be regarded as elder If we were a
civilized society, as opposed to something turning into a monstrous
and depraved society, it would be regarded as elder abuse.
To do what we've done to the people in these
homes and the people on the seniors wards in hospitals
this last year, Gary terrible, It's horrible. Don't Might just

(33:37):
pulled his mother out because they had COVID and there
in a whole other place, and he got her home
and then a couple of days and she got over
the COVID, but she died a few days later, probably
because of it. I don't know, no, but you have
to you have to ask. You know, there's a some
survey out I think that shows a third of a

(34:00):
third of people. Well no, I was going to say
a third of Americans. But I think this survey is
people in nineteen countries and a third of them overall
are suffering from depression. And why wouldn't they be you're
told you're you're an eighty seven year old lady, and
you're told you can't see any of your loved ones

(34:21):
for a year. So they're keeping you alive. For what
are they keeping you alive? What's the point of spending
a year when you're eighty seven and you're twelve. You've
got twelve months and you can't see anybody, And they say, oh,
don't worry, we're just entering the second year now. But
if you lived to ninety seven or one hundred and three,
you might be able to see your family again. I mean,

(34:42):
these are the worst kinds of sentences. It's not like
being sentenced by a judge, where you know it's a
five year sentence and for good behavior you'll be out
in three or whatever. This is just going on without end,
every every day. Again, just a final thought on that, Gary,
You know, I remember talking to someone who was detained

(35:02):
without trial during the Second World War, and her thing
was that that was the worst thing about it. You
can't do what the Count de Monte Cristo does and
make scratches on the wall. You know, for how long
you've been here, you have no idea when it's going
to end. You have no idea whether you're halfway through
your term or only a tenth of the way through.

(35:24):
Their term. And that's what we've done to the old
people in your state of Pennsylvania, and in New York
and in all kinds of other places. It's absolutely outrageous.
Thank you for that call. Gary, Lots more of your
calls straight ahead. Mark Stein in for rush on the
ei b A network. By the way, I mentioned Janics

(35:47):
Steen earlier. Janis is very keen for New Yorkers to
sign the petition to impeach Andrew Cuomo. It's a one
party state. The only reason anything is going to happen
there or will be done to him is if Democrats
turn against him, as they are doing. Democrats have decided
they're sick of him, and it doesn't hurt for Republicans

(36:10):
to pile on and sign the petition to impeach that guy. Yes,
America's anchorman is away and this is your undocumented anchorman.
Mark Stein. Thrilled and honored to be here as I
have been for wow almost a decade and a half.

(36:33):
We have crash monitoring things from the diseased heart of
New York City, and we have the one and only
mister Snurdley screening your calls. You have to get past
him in order to get on the air, but give
it a go, because just speaking to mister Snurdley is

(36:55):
an honor in itself. One eight hundred two eight two
two eight eight two is then I'm gonna call. I
said a word about Rush at the beginning of the show,
about how he's doing and how he is, and it's
never enough for people. I think it's a gentleman called

(37:15):
mister Lyninger who wanted to hear an update on his
one Matthew Lininger Lininger who listening, I think to k
n SS radio, who wanted an update on Rush today,
and I gave one at the top of the show.
He had his treatment last week. He's recovering from treatment,

(37:39):
and when he's fully recovered, he's going to be back
because he likes to do this show at full strength.
And I can only tell you what my doctor and
I discussed a few years back when I was guest
hosting from ice station EIB and I suddenly needed to
go to the hospital and get in there at two

(38:01):
hours before the show and have the docs checked me over.
And they gave me these pills that said do not
take these pills if you're operating heavy machinery. And I
said I'm just like an afeat Nancy boy Pansy writer.
I never operate heavy machinery, But is it a good
idea to do a three hour national radio show on

(38:21):
these pills? And they said no, that requires that's actually
way crazier than just if you get the urge to
do that, go out and operate some heavy machinery instead,
because you can't do you can't. I know Rush makes
it sound easy, but you surely have grasped when you
hear a certain guest hosts. I'm not mentioning any names,

(38:44):
that it's a lot harder than it looks. And Rush
has to be at full strength to be able to
do this show at full strength. He it takes a
lot to make it sound that easy. And so Rush
comes back when he is at full st ng and
that varies. And we have been so blessed this last

(39:04):
year because he's had the situation where he gets the
treatment on Tuesday, he rests up on Wednesday, and he
comes roaring back on Thursday, and then there's other times
when it takes a little bit longer. And please bear
with him on that. He Rush the most important thing
to Rush, apart from his family, is his extended family,

(39:25):
which is you guys, tens of millions of you, people
who have been listening to Rush since you were some case,
since we children. My friend Cat Temp who's on Fox
News on the Greg Gutfeld Show, And I was talking
to Cat the other night when she I think she

(39:46):
was homeschooled when she was in fourth and fifth grade,
but her dad always stopped the home schooling at whatever
it was midday Eastern, and they listened to Rush together.
And that's actually where Cat's political views were formed, or
actually and not just that, because she disagrees with Rush

(40:07):
on all kinds of things, but Cat's sense of how
to argue about politics and public affairs was formed. And
we've got people all over the country now who haven't
been in school for a year and they're expected to
make do with stupid interpretative dance videos by completely talentless people,

(40:28):
I mean, interpretative dances. It's a difficult thing at the
best of times. But if I had to just name
a category of people who shouldn't be even attempting interpretative dance,
I would say it is public school teachers unions on
the evidence of their videos of interpretative dance. So if
your kid's been stuck at home for a year. Throw

(40:50):
out those stupid interpretative dance videos and make the kid
listen to rush on the Russian Embo show between noon
and three because they will thank you for it. Maybe
not now, but they'll thank you for it in ten
years time. Who's the president of the United States? I
know we are expected to believe that mister Biden is

(41:14):
the president, even as forty two percent of Americans believe
there was widespread fraud in the last election. Apparently you're
not allowed to mention that. Apparently one of the major
radio station owners, Well, what's this one, what's it called, oh,
Cumulus Media. Yeah, they say if you say that there

(41:36):
has been there has been widespread election for they're going
to fire you. Forty two percent of Americans think there
was widespread election for. Can even the control freak at
Cumulus Media fire forty two percent of Americans as they
come frantically through his doors filling and refilling the slots

(41:58):
of talk radio hosts that he's fired? So evidently forty
two percent of America, that's quite a that's actually and actually,
in a functioning society, that would be regarded as a
disturbing number. That you'd want to do something about, but
not just forbidding them from even mentioning the subject, but
maybe by addressing their concerns about the subject, mister Vice

(42:22):
President of codswallop at Cumulus Media. So those that in
itself is an issue, why we have to As you
can tell, I'm gingerly sidestepping this issue in order to
avoid being taken off the air and replaced by light
instrumental versions of wind beneath my wings. I'm tiptoeing very

(42:44):
gently around this, but putting aside the question of whether
this guy Biden is actually the elected president. He sits
in the Oval office, and every couple of hours they
shove a royal proclamation under his nose and he signs.
It's like Governor La Petamine in Blazing Saddles, and we're
all trying to figure out who the Headley Lamar character is.

(43:07):
One of the interesting things. Jen Saki, at her press
conference a while ago, was asked whether the alleged President
Biden would be speaking to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
of Saudi Arabia. He's supposedly the power behind the throne

(43:28):
in Saudi Arabia. He's the guy who had that Saudi
journalist Hashagi chopped up in the Saudi consulate in Turkey
and then the body parts taken out in suitcases and
buried around the yard. So he'd actually make a fairly
he's fairly qualified for a high ranking job with the
Democrat Party because he shows attention to detail there having

(43:53):
all those suitcases ready to take the body parts out
and buried in the park land. So that's a Crown
Prince Mohammed been Salmon. Would Joe Biden be speaking to
Crown Prince Mohammed anytime soon? And Jen Sacki said, rather snootily, Well,
the president's counterpart is King Salmon, so he'll be speaking

(44:18):
to the king because the president's the head of state
and the king is the head of state, so they
talk to each other. And it's a little bit complicated
because in the American system the president is supposed to
be both the head of state and the head of government.
Those functions are combined, whereas in Saudi Arabia, as you

(44:39):
can see, they've they've separated them slightly. But one is
fascinating is that Biden. I don't even know whether Biden
has a telephone. Is he allowed a telephone. But what
is interesting is that he's not actually making a lot
of these calls. For example, yesterday Vice President Harris spoke

(45:04):
with President McCall of France, so JENSACKI wasn't doing any
of her thing where you know, oh, the president speaks
to his counterpart, because the President of America and the
President of France accounterparts. In this case, it was Vice
President Harris who spoke to President McCall of France. Vice

(45:26):
President Knola Harris spoke today with President Emmanuel McCall of
France and expressed her commitment to strengthening bilateral ties between
the United States and France. So she's committed to strengthening
bilateral ties between the United States and France. We have

(45:46):
no idea whether Joe Biden is equally committed. It doesn't
really matter. He doesn't need to have a commitment to
strengthening bilateral ties because Vice President Harris has spoken to
President McCall and expressed her commitment to strengthening bilateral ties.
The Vice President thanked President mccron for his leadership on

(46:10):
the issue of gender equality. He's led by example. He's
such a perfect dingy little metrosexual. He's leading by example,
on the issue of non binary gender identities. Anyway, So
the Vice President Harris is the one who speaks with
the President of France. That's a very odd thing to

(46:33):
do in the first three weeks of a new administration,
don't you think, Oh, well, what's this old? She also
is the one who spoke to Justin Trudeau, the Prime
Minister of Canada, and reassured the Prime minister that Prime
Minister Trudeau that the United States would do everything it

(46:55):
can to help bring home two Canadians who have been
seized by Chairman Ge and his chums on the Chinese
polit viewer. So oddly enough, oddly enough, the truthful answer
to Jen Sapie's question would appear to be that would
the question that was asked of Jen sach he would

(47:16):
appear to be that it is now Kamala Harris who
was engaging in privileged state to state relations with other
sovereign nations leaders, which is odd. I made a joke
with Tucker Carlson, I think almost a year ago now,

(47:37):
when he was saying, you know, is this guy really
up to being President Biden if he even got it,
And I said, well, I think he'd be more of
a ceremonial head of state, you know, like the Canadian system,
where he'd be like a ceremonial monarch and a Kamala
would be acting as a prime minister. I did it

(47:58):
as a throwaway gag. It's actually happening. And again, the
somnolent court units don't seem terribly interested in who's actually
running the who writes up the royal proclamations that they
shove under King Joe's knows every morning for him to
govern by. This is not this. There is nothing normal

(48:20):
about what is going on. And that's why you know
it's not just a case of election fraud. As I said,
forty two percent of Americans think there was widespread election fraud.
It's not actually a matter of doubt because these are
the least efficient. This has. The American system, because of

(48:41):
these systemically multigenerational corrupt precincts, has the least election integrity
of almost any country, actually of any country in the
so called free world. But it's it's the reason for
the election fraud. Who is pulling the strings? Whose god

(49:02):
is hand up the dead husk of Joe Biden and
waggling things around? Why is the vice president, a position
that historically in American life hasn't been worth a picture
of warm spit to euphemize the famous expression on the
value of the vice presidency. Why is it now the

(49:22):
vice president who is engaging in talks with the president?
I mean, we were in the Trump era, we would
know this because when he telephoned the Prime Minister of
Australia or the president of Mexico, the whole transcript was
leaked and on the front page of the New York
Times the following morning. So perhaps somebody helpful, perhaps the
guy who liked to league all the stuff during the

(49:44):
early days of the Trump administration, would like to leak
some of these transcripts of the new regime, because the
first question President mccorm surely has to Karmala Harris is, Hey,
why isn't it your boss who's calling me to discuss
all this stuff? Why don't I get to speak to
my counterpart? And yet this call yesterday suggests that it

(50:07):
is now the vice president who is taking the lead
on all the big calls to the other G seven leaders.
And you can ask Jen Saki, but she'll have to
circle back to you, Mark Stein for us your calls
in just a moment, Mark Stein on the Excellence in

(50:27):
Broadcasting Network. Let's go to west Chester County, just north
of New York City. James is in Westchester. What's on
your mind today, James, Oh, Mark, thanks for taking my call,
my pleasure. Recently, I flew home to New York from
Florida after being subjected another lame brain makes no sense

(50:50):
directed by King Cuomo. And what I'm getting at is
he's got this directive where if you fly into New
York from Florida, you have to get a COVID nineteen test. So,
being a good taxpaying citizen of New York, I figured
I'd better go do it. Those symptoms whatsoever. So I go,
I get tested, and I'm online with all these people,

(51:13):
and I'm looking around and I'm saying to myself, now,
are all these people here because they're flying back to
New York or are they possibly here because they have
a fever, they have the chills, they have symptoms, And
now I'm being subjected to stand online with people that
could basically probably be sick. Yet I am not sick.

(51:37):
I have no symptoms. And this is similar to what
he did to the nursing homes putting perfectly well people
with sick people, and it has to do with king mentality,
and they need to take away his emergency executive powers
because this makes zero sense. Now I have to get
another COVID test once I'm in New York, right, I

(52:00):
gotta go with people that might be sick. Again, no
sense whatsoever. I mean, there's why don't they say to people, listen,
we're going to trust you to take your own your
own temperature, your own auction level, which I do all
the time since this started a year ago. And you know,
you go to the doctor when you have a sore throat,

(52:21):
he takes a strep test. But if you don't have
a sore throat, you can't call your doctor and say, hey, doc,
give me a strep test. You know, I feel fine.
The doctor will say, well, then you don't need a
strep test. Right. It was online with people that probably
maybe eighty percent of them, they're not flying to New York.
They probably felt loudy and sick. Yeah, And in fact,

(52:41):
you don't even you don't know that. I mean that
they could just they might not know that. They could
just be people who, as you said, you're standing there
in line with them. They that's the biggest group of
people you've been with in two months or six weeks
or whatever, and you're standing with them because Chromo says,

(53:02):
you've got to prove that you don't have the virus
before you can come back to New York. And your
best chance of getting the virus is to be hanging
out with tons of people you don't know in a
long line waiting to get you get your test. That's
that's officialdom all the way down. And it's just this
box checking. It's just this kind of control freak box checking.

(53:26):
You could have been you could have been perfectly responsible, James.
You could have said, I'm I'm just at home with
my close circle. We all know each other, we all
know where we've been, and all the rest of it.
And you made me go and stand in a long
line of people I don't know. I don't know what
their precautions they're taking away. Again, he's basically Chromo says,

(53:48):
you can't go come back to New York until I've
exposed you to the virus in some way. That's essentially
what he says. Yeah, yeah, carry one's interrupted, but how
many people are driving back? You know? I mean it
just makes no sense. It seems to me that this
is his way of getting, you know, back at a
Republican governor. It's all politics. This guy thinks he's a king.

(54:14):
For what he did to the nursing homes is despicable.
He should be removed from office. And if the least
they should do is they've got to take this Emergency
Executive Powers Act away from him because he's just run
wild with it and he's got no humility at all whatsoever. No, No,
he's out of control. And also it isn't an emergency
now because what coming up to the second year, so

(54:36):
emergency provisions doesn't cut it. Thank you very much for
that call, James, You're actually right. I'll pick up and
say a couple more words of that when we return
with much more on America's number one radio show, the
one and only number one radio show for a third
of a century, The Russia Limball Show. Yes, Rush is

(55:00):
out today. I don't want to I don't want to
forget this story because it's my favorite story of the day.
From the Daily Mail in London headline thirty Taliban militants
are killed in explosion during bomb making class at Afghan mosque.

(55:21):
They blast happened on such a workplace accident for these guys.
Thirty Taliban guys blew themselves up during bomb making class
at their mosque in Kultuk, a village in Bulk Province.
Six foreign nationals were among those killed. According to security services,

(55:43):
I like the way they put that we're developing you
have to decode English language media these days, because they're
trying to tell you something here six foreign nationals. What
that means is that these are guys who are holding
you know, American or Canadian or French or Belgian or
Australian passports. But that if you were to say, you know,

(56:06):
also six people from Australia, Belgian, America, Canada were killed,
people might get the wrong idea. They might. They might
be figuring why is why is Earl who runs the
feed store going over to take a bomb making class
in Afghanistan? And it is an early who runs the
feed store. It's just a slightly more sinister figure who

(56:29):
happens to have acquired a Western passport. But anyway, they
all the thirty Taliban milligants had a bad workplace accident,
blew themselves up during bomb making class at an Afghan mosque.
Don't worry though, this is this is the old Just
anything could happen to anyone. I mean, for all, I

(56:49):
know they have a bomb making class at your local
congregational church. You know, it's just apparently something that goes
on in houses of worship these days. But I didn't
want to let that story he go, particularly as NATO
Secretary General Yen Stoltenberg has said that the Alliance will

(57:12):
not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. Quote before the time
is right. Trump actually ordered the troops out of Afghanistan,
and the generals just ignored him. The Pendagon ignored him
and said, now you're going to be gone, Like what
is it now? You're going to be out of here
in four or five months. We think we are just
going to leave the troops there. In other words, they're

(57:34):
no longer subject to a meaningful political control. By by
the way, the same people who have kept us in
Afghanistan for twenty years now the swamp is back, and
that means the endless wars are back, and that means
the expansion of the American military presence in Syria is back.

(57:56):
These are not places, you know, as I have said
here for you, I'm basically a nineteenth century imperialist, a
hundred years past my cell by date. But America does
not have an imperialist bone in its body, and therefore
there's no point wasting time running around Afghanistan for twenty

(58:16):
years and what will likely be now another twenty years.
Because what NATO Secretary General Yen Stoltenberg means when he
says the Alliance won't withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, and
actually what he means by not withdrawing his troops is
that they're overwhelmingly American troops. You get participation from a

(58:39):
few others, such as the Germans, who nevertheless have some
deal whereby they don't go out at night or into
any provinces where there's any actual fighting going on. But
they're great. There's no loyaler. Ally, if you want someone
back at the barracks manning the photocopier, there's no one
better than these guys. But what this basically means is

(59:02):
that NATO has now said that they will not withdraw
their troops, meaning American troops from Afghanistan quote before the
time is right, and the time will never be right.
It's like we're not going to send those teachers back
into public schools quote before the time is right, and
the time will never be right. We're not going to

(59:25):
allow restaurants to open up more than twenty five percent
capacity before the time is right, and the time is
never going to be right. We're not going to allow
you to walk around in the open air without a
mask quote before the time is right and the time
will never be right. That basically is now the slogan

(59:49):
of the way we are governed in the formerly free world.
Ron Johnson do you know him. He's the Senator from Wisconsin.
And he said, this is very interesting to me. He said,
the capital attack quote didn't seem like an armed insurrection

(01:00:10):
to me. And he points out that, of course, when
you hear the word armed, don't you think of firearms.
Here's the question I would have liked to ask, how
many firearms were confiscated, how many shots were fired? I'm
only aware of one, and I'll defend that law enforcement

(01:00:30):
officer for taking that shot. It was a tragedy, but
I think there was also there was only one. If
that was a planned armed insurrection, man, you had really
a bunch of idiots. And Ron Johnson is stating the obvious.
Here we had an armed insurrection in which there was
only one shot fired, and it was by a policeman

(01:00:52):
at close range, killing a Trump supporter. Five people died
that day. There was a heart attack, there was a stroke.
There was a poor lady who got trampled to death.
This is what happens when large crowds are incompetently policed,
as they certainly were by the Capitol Police. It's either

(01:01:15):
a huge failure by the Capitol Police or something darker.
And the only the nearest thing to a kill by
this Trump mob was that policeman Brian Sicknick, who died
the following day, and for whom no cause of death
official cause of death has ever been announced by the

(01:01:38):
District of Columbia pathologist. And this is not only bizarre
to me, but deeply unsettling. One of the most unsettling
aspects of the event. He was laid in state at
the rotunder and I have no idea. I take it
the body, obviously, for that to happen, had to be
returned to the family, which is odd. Again, odd when

(01:02:00):
no cause of death has been determined, And I take
it that the body has either been interred by now
or possibly cremated, so there can never be any more
tests on that body. But they knew one thing that
this story about the fire extinguisher and blunt trauma and

(01:02:20):
the gash in their head were lies. And yet they
let the New York Times The New York Times publish
its story on the eighth of January, by which time
they knew it was a lie, and officialdom still permitted
that lie to be disseminated around the world. I'd just
like to ask the District of Columbia maybe I should

(01:02:42):
file a freedom of information request to release all the
information there, because essentially the cause of death has become
a matter of public dispute. The Homeland Security Committee of
the House Homeland Security Committee is now filed a civil
suit against Trump, Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys, who are

(01:03:06):
basically founded by a Canadian and have apparently been the
most effective force in the American capital since the War
of eighteen twelve. Yeah, it's more Canadians, mistress. Sadly, I
don't even get it. It's like, supposedly a right wing
Trump mob sacked the capital of the United States. And

(01:03:29):
when you say yeah, and he actually turns out to
be these Proud Boys, which is some kind of Canadian
group formed by Gavin mckinness I believe, who is a Canadian.
So so I don't even get that either. There's basically
say they're basically what's going what's going on here is
we have had we whatever you think of what happened

(01:03:51):
in January sixth, and Ron Johnson goes he does all
the things. Oh well, obviously I opposed this and I
opposed that, but it didn't seem like an armed insurrection
to me. I spoke to my friend, the former presidential candidate,
Michelle Bakman. Michelle was in the rotunder, so she was
several blocks nearer than AOC and Rashida Talib and all

(01:04:14):
those other people who were doing the post traumatic stress
routine on the floor of the house a couple of
weeks ago. She was actually there in the rotunder and
in the little chapel hold up in the little chapel
that's immediately off it. So she actually was close up
in the face of the action. And no point did

(01:04:35):
she think this was some right wing coup, nor did
Ron Johnson. We are basically being in we are basically
witnessing the construction of an official lie, and we are
governed by lies. Now. You know, I mentioned at the
top of the show this terrible, unprecedented blizzard that hit Texas,

(01:04:57):
And if you're not used to a blizzard, it's not
like here where. If you're up in northern New Hampshire,
mother nature spends half the year trying to throttle the
life out of you. So by the time you're thirty eight,
you're pretty much used to it, because that's just the
way it is. They're not like that in They're not
like that in Texas. It took them by surprise. Suddenly

(01:05:19):
there's a winter storm everywhere. There's ice, there's snow everywhere.
It's all swirling everywhere. The power lines are crashing, the
ice is freezing on the electric poles, on the utility
poles and bringing them crashing down. You're out of everything.
That's actually a metaphor for this lost nation. One half

(01:05:40):
of the country is demanding we live with its blizzard
of lies, and they've constructed so many lies for us that, Oh,
November the third was perfectly on the up and up,
but January sixth was an attempted oh oh oh, yes,

(01:06:04):
wearing masks would have done nothing last March, but now
they're so necessary that you should be wearing free or
four masks. Oh yes, it's totally racist to call it
the China virus, but it's not in the least bit
racist at all to refer to the UK strain or
the South African variant or whatever's next. Florida's in trouble

(01:06:26):
because abound it it's got the UK strain, And next
thing you know, a Tagkistan will have the Florida variant,
and then Montana will have the Tajikistan strain, and then
the South Sandwich Islands will have the Montana variant. Unto
the end of time, we are living in a great swirl,
a blizzard of official lies, coming so fast and from

(01:06:51):
so many directions that actually having the clarity to see
your way through them. But take small things, small things
like why are supposedly functioning jurisdiction like the government of
the global superpower cannot give you a cause of death
for a dead policeman over a month after he died.

(01:07:13):
That is deeply weird, and not just weird but disturbing.
Mark Stein for Rush, I will take your calls straight ahead.
Mark Stein. Behind the gold and Ian eib microphone. Let
us go to Springfield, Massachusetts and talk to Steve. Steve,

(01:07:34):
you're up next on the russall Embull Show. Hi, Hi, Ben,
how you're doing. I hope I got it right. And
sometimes I get your name confused, but you do a
great job. Your analysis are really good. And yeah, I'm
not I'm not I'm not called Bern. I don't know
who you figured are there, but no, I'm not Ben. Okay,

(01:07:55):
But but anyway, you'll make many prayers for rush as
absolutely like an old friend of mine. I started listening
to him in an eighty eight. But one of the
things that's been bothering me is this election to me
has been like extremely alarming. And you know, I was
reminded that a model keep your friends close and your
enemies closer. So I have like drastically increased my reading

(01:08:18):
of fake news like CNN, MSNBC, CBS for that very reason,
because I want to know what they're up to. And
one of the things that I found is I really
think that this impeachment is like a steady drum beat
for something more sinister, which is the criminalization of conservative speech.

(01:08:39):
Because they go from the they keep beating this drum
about insurrection, the hate speech, violence of talking about voter fraud,
and just on and on, and of course they also
include conservative rhetoric going back four years. Probably the most
egregious articles, the longer articles that you have to really
read deep into I don't want from CNN. Yeah, I don't.

(01:09:03):
I don't disagree with that West. I mean it's bigger
than that, Actually, Steve, we're watching the hallmark of all
soft totalitarian societies as they become hard totalitarian societies, which
is the criminalization of opposition. That's what George Stephanopoulos, you'd say,
you've been watching a lot of what you call opposition

(01:09:27):
media or enemy media. When George Stephanopoulos was hammering Rand Paul,
when ran Paul was saying, I don't know read, I
don't know whether there was enough, and George Sephanopoulos is
demanding you can't say that, You've got to come clean
and admit that this election was on the up and up,
and ran Paul is saying, why why can't I have

(01:09:49):
my own opinion on the election, And George Stephanopoulus, like
any two bit commissar in in any Bolshevik society, is saying, no,
you can't rand we can't. We won't be able to
have you on the show unless you agree to spend
a couple more months in re education camp. That's actually,
that's actually what that's actually what this is all about.

(01:10:09):
That it's the criminalization of opposition, and the worst aspect
of it is actually with relation to the COVID. You know,
you might have thought the experts were the experts when
this thing started in January and February last year. Then
it became clear after two three months that the best

(01:10:30):
of them didn't really know much about this thing, and
the worst were actually just China's bagmen and doing their
best to ensure that China didn't get the blame for it.
And what you have now is you have basically Facebook
and Twitter and all these other the rest of the
woke billionaire cartel actually saying no, you can't disagree with

(01:10:53):
the official version, the pro China version on our platforms.
So we're seeing it's not even a particul political thing.
That could be all kinds of reasons. It might be
that Andrew Cuomo killed your grandma. Janice Dean isn't a
political person, and yet in the least bit, and yet
she's just enraged that Cuomo slaughtered members of her family.

(01:11:16):
But you're not allowed to disagree with the official version
of events, and so it's the criminalization of all oppositions.
Steve Well, you know what olds too. Actually, it's even
worse than that. It's still legitimizing in mainstreaming of the
criminalization of our position. Right, No, no, absolutely, it's going

(01:11:38):
to get a lot worse. We've just heard this. We've
just heard Eric Shagwell, a man who has literally been
penetrated by Chinese intelligence. Fang Fang had him doing her bidding.
And now he's the guy telling us that in Congress
proposing that Congress start up a white nationalist task force,

(01:11:58):
a task force to look into nationalism. We're now seeing
the diversion of the Department of Homeland Security with all
its mighty powers, from created to stop the g Had
boys twenty years ago. Oh well, enough of that. We've
been fighting for the g had for twenty years and
we gotta go. We'll pick it up in just a moment.

(01:12:21):
Mark Stein in for USh on America's number one radio show.
We have lots more to come in our final hour. Yes,
America's anchormand is away and this is your undocumented an command,
no supporting paperwork whatsoever. Rush is recovering from his treatment

(01:12:43):
last week, which is tough going even when it goes well,
even when it's one of those weeks where they do
what they have to do and he comes roaring back
to the microphone forty eight hours later. But Rush is
resting up and he will return when he is fully
recovered from that treatment. I tell you what you know.

(01:13:07):
I always I usually say this. Back in the days
when I used to guest host once every two or
three months or whatever it was, I used to say,
if you're if you're a liberal, I'd love to hear
from you at one eight hundred two eight to two
eight eight two. If you think things are all going
great and things are looking beachy, I'd love to hear
from you. And that goes. That goes if you're incline

(01:13:30):
more to the Susan Collins end of things, if you
incline more to the side of those what what what
was it? It was? Was it six or seven GOP senators? Seven? Oh? Yeah,
they got an extra fellow. Who was that Pat Toomey.
They picked up an extra one seven senators who'd voted
for the conviction of and again, you know under no

(01:13:54):
sug I mean it shows to genuine to credit those
guys with genuinely bel leaving that that was an insurrection
and that was an insurrection incited by the President of
the United States is a tough sell to me. But
if you're one of those guys who inclines to the
Pat Toomey, Susan Collins met Romney side of things, gimme,

(01:14:17):
gimme a call. I would love to hear from you
in this last hour of the show one eight hundred
two eight to two eight eight two. I always have
a sort of you know, if you're not talking about China,
you're not really talking about anything that matters. Because it's
China's world. We just pay for it. I spoke to
Peter Navarro, who's one of my favorite Trump administration officials.

(01:14:39):
He could actually do the interpretative dance stuff too, because
he has such expressive hands, expressive arms. They're always waving
them around. But he drew my attention to the fact
that it's the Chinese Communist Party's hundredth birthday. Well I
drew his attention. I can't remember. We were both up
on it. Oh it was me and then he said,

(01:15:01):
Bingo as I drew, and they would be wanting to
give themselves a real super special hundredth birthday present. Like Taiwan,
Armed Chinese ships enter Japanese waters as tensions flare over
disputed East China Sea islands near Taiwan. China today has

(01:15:22):
sent two vessels into Japan's territorial waters amid rising tensions
over disputed islands in the East China Sea. They intruded
into the waters near the Japanese administered Senkaku Islands on
Tuesday morning. The Chinese arrested. They know that just in

(01:15:44):
the fullness of time, they will be the global dominant power,
even if they're not already, they certainly will be formally
by the end of what we are supposed to regard
as Joe Biden's first term, although we don't really know
who who first term it is yet. But they're in
a hurry. They're in a hurry, and whether they can

(01:16:06):
restrain that is not clear to me. I'll tell you what.
I just would like to do a brief recap because
we were now in one of those phases that comes
along every time the Republican Party loses an election, which
it may or may not if you don't worry. If

(01:16:27):
you're that senior executive vice president ready to fire anyone
who queries the integrity of this election, well yes I
am querying it, but I'm like trying to I'm trying
to be a bit dispassionate about it here. So I'm
saying that every time the Republican Party loses an election,
which it may or may not have done this November

(01:16:47):
the third, So go ahead, farm if that's going too far.
Whatever happened to that First Amendment free speech culture of
free expression? I don't know anyway, the history of the
with a conservatism thing, which they have every time the
Republicans lose an election, and then there's all this with
a conservatism. So there's now some people saying we need

(01:17:09):
to go back to the pre Trump Republican Party. No no, no,
we need Trump to run again in twenty twenty four.
No no, no no, no no no. It'd be nice to
have Trumpism without Trump, which I'm not sure it's entirely possible,
because you need a Trump sized personality even to be
able to talk about this thing. Remember when he came

(01:17:29):
down that escalator and he said, Mexico isn't sending us
his best It's best? Do you think do you think
Mitt Romney's ever going to talk about anything like that?
Do you think Pat Toomey's ever going to talk about
anything like that. Here's a quick history of American conservatism
in the twenty first century. After nine to eleven, we

(01:17:50):
had the national security right had become had come roaring back.
We'd had the holiday from history since the four of
the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain, and so the
national security right didn't seem that important anymore because it
was supposedly a unipolar world, it was supposedly America's world,

(01:18:11):
and there were no great global national security threats. So
national security conservatism got a little bit eclipsed. Then came
nine to eleven, and so all the national security guys,
all your Bill Crystals and those kind of guys were
suddenly big again in Washington. And we had the wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq. And given that there had been

(01:18:34):
a spectacular attack on the American homeland, one might have
assumed that the Republican Party would be serious about it
and would be attempting to expunge the ghosts of Vietnam
once and for all, and instead they just became the

(01:18:56):
usual dithering, ineffectual semi colonial policing operations going nowhere with
no serious strategic goals. Certainly, and almost immediately all the
talk of exit strategy, exit strategy, as if the object
of going into war is not told, win the war,

(01:19:17):
crushed the enemy, Let the enemy know, by God, he's
been defeated, and he ain't ever coming back. And apparently
there's no one at the Pendican who does those kind
of wars. I don't know what wars they do do,
but these dithering, ineffectual type two decade wars apparently the
only thing that so eventually they exhausted people's patience because

(01:19:39):
people couldn't see the point of it. People didn't people
didn't get it, and so the national security right faded.
And in the meantime, the Republicans who had not also
seen what happened on nine to eleven as a profound
challenge to the cultural relativism of our time, you know,

(01:20:01):
so that in a sense we couldn't afford the self
loathing people kept comparing. For example, within a few months
of nine to eleven, the teachers unions were already preparing
school programs for the first anniversary comparing America's treatment post
nine eleven treatment of Muslims with FDRs internment of the

(01:20:24):
Japanese during the Second World War. So, in other words, oh, yeah,
enough of the big smoking crater in the middle of
Lower Manhattan. Let's get back to our self loathing, because
that's really what we do best. So then came the
Lehman Brothers crash, and suddenly fiscal conservatism, which had been
on the back burner, came roaring back, and you had

(01:20:45):
the Tea Party movement, and you had people concerned about,
as I put it, a nation that had to do
something that no other society is in human history, had
ever done before. It had to pay back twenty trillion
dollars just to get back to being broke, just to
get back to having nothing in its pocket. It had

(01:21:06):
to pay twenty trillion dollars back. Now it's that you
can do the joke ten years later, only now it's
thirty trillion dollars. No one's ever done that before, no one.
And there are countries that do pay down government debt
under the Liberal Party, Canada paid down government debt in
the nineteen nineties. In the aughts, New Zealand paid down,

(01:21:31):
as we call it in commonwealth countries, crown debt, public debt.
The New Zealand government paid it down. But when you
talk and i'd just say this personally, when you talk
about this subject with anybody in Washington, any kind of Republican,
you look in their eyes, you know they have no serious,
no serious I plan ever to pay down government debt.

(01:21:56):
They're just not going to do it. They're not interested
in doing it. It's never going to happen. It's a pretense.
And you can do that pretense when you're the United
States and the US dollar is the global currency. That's
the difference between the United States and Zimbabwe, or even
the United States in Greece. You know, Zimbabwe has to
pay back its debt in US dollars. So if you

(01:22:19):
have hyperinflation and a buck is suddenly you hundred thousand
dollar note is only worth what five dollars was a
year ago, you're in big trouble because you have to
pay back the debt in the global currency, which is
the US dollar. And the only country that doesn't have

(01:22:40):
to worry about that is America until China yanks the
rug out from under the US dollar which it's thinking
about I'm not saying it's going to happen in June,
but it's thinking about it. It's thinking about it. And
then you had Trump who came along. The tea Party
was a powerful force. Then you had Trump who came
along and he didn't talk about national security conservatism, fiscal conservatism.

(01:23:04):
He was really a culturally conservative candidate. He said, well,
look at you. Look at your communities. They've been hollowed
out by meth and heroin and all these other things.
And your sister has to do the night shift at
the quickie crap and you're just like some pathetic drug dealer.
And that's all that's going on in a lot of

(01:23:26):
these towns where the mills and the factories closed because
everything was shipped to China. And he didn't make that
so much as an economic argument, but as a cultural
argument that it would be nice. It's actually part of
having a life of dignity and value to make something
of worth in the United States, not just too you know,

(01:23:48):
we get to play with the toys that are made
in China, we get to wear the t shirts that
are made in China. We get to put on the
socks that are made in China and use the smartphones
that are made in China. But wouldn't be nice to
lead a life of dignity and worth where instead of
just doing the night shift at the quickie crap or
being a small time heroin dealer, there were actual industries

(01:24:13):
and factor is here. And he made that as a
cultural argument tied to the rise of China and to
mass immigration. And I think, from my own point of view,
that's the sweet that's actually the sweet spot. People want
the consolations of culture. They don't want to live in
a transformative society where some guy with a green eye

(01:24:36):
shade has written off millions and millions of people because
he can get child labor around the back of the
Wuhan Institute of Virology to make everything you need much
cheaper than any American can make it in the rust belt.
And that's why Trump won. And if we forget that,
as I said, that's just my brief, brisk history of

(01:25:02):
American conservatism in the twenty first century. First, national security
conservatism came running back, but we blew the wars frankly
with no strategic clarity. Then the the global economy went
belly up, and we had the tea party in fiscal conservatism,
and then Trump, I think tied it all together, the

(01:25:22):
failures of the national security conservatism and the restricted vision
of homo economicus, the fiscal conservatisms with this bigger cultural conservatism.
He did the American conservative movement a huge service in that,
and that is definitely so. I don't what interestance. Susan

(01:25:43):
Collins has got no contribution to make to that debate.
Mitt Romney has no serious contribution to make to that debate.
It looks like Pat Toomey, who's a very smart guy
or who was, has no useful contribution to make to
that debate. And it would be hugely destructive for Republicans
to go back to you know, oh, we agree with
everything the Democrats do, except we'd like a little bit

(01:26:05):
of a tax cut. Two. That isn't going to be enough.
It's never going to be enough. As I said, if
you're a liberal, if you're the big rhino squish, give
me a call. One eight hundred two eight two eight
eight two. Okay, As you know, we all live our
lives online now because there's nothing going on offline. You
go into the streets, they're deserted. Everything's closed it's just

(01:26:27):
the sea apply wood out there. There's nothing of life
left offline, so we're all living our lives online, which
means we're more exposed than ever to all these cyber attacks.
RUSH recommends just one way to protect your online identity,
and that's LifeLock. One side effect of the increasing number

(01:26:49):
of people working remotely at harm 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 as a company office
environment is. Once a home office computer has breached or infected,

(01:27:09):
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 is key crucial these days. And

(01:27:30):
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 part of this combine to
give you the best protection you can get LifeLock monitors

(01:27:55):
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 when they even
think they've found it, they alert you and ask you
if it is you opening a new bank account, making

(01:28:16):
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 gone wrong.
Now is the time to have a LifeLock get their protection.

(01:28:40):
LifeLock dot com is the site to visit, or you
can call them and eight hundred four forty eight thirty three.
Either way, he was my name and sign up today.
That's how you get twenty five percent off your first
year LifeLock dot com offer code Rush or eight hundred
four forty eight thirty three and mention my name The

(01:29:04):
Rush Limbough Show on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, Markstein
sitting in for Rush. The Oregon Department of Education says
that asking students to show their work in math class
is a form of white supremacy. The concept of mathematics

(01:29:27):
being purely objective is unequivocally false. These are people who
have never read nineteen eighty four by George Orwell, where
the salient point about nineteen eighty four is that two
plus two equals five. Two plus two equals five, And

(01:29:52):
they know that the citizenry don't actually believe it, but
they don't care about that initially, because the point about
any totalitarian society is to shove the lie hammer the
lie down your gullet and make you live with it.
Make you live with it. So you say two plus

(01:30:14):
two equals five. You know it's not true, but they've
made you swallow the lie. You hear that a lot
of the time, a lot of the things, like even
Ron Johnson when he said this didn't seem like an
insurrection to me, but was careful to qualify that he
wasn't going to question that policeman firing a gun at

(01:30:34):
point blank range into Ashley Bobbert. You know, he knows
that's not true, but he feels he has to say it.
The next stage, which is what we're approaching here, is
that people have been living the blizzard of lie so
long two plus two equals five. There is no objective

(01:30:55):
mathematics anymore. According to the Oregon Department of Education. At
that point, you're advancing onto the next stage where people
have just been choking on the lie so long it's
actually easier just to believe them as these guys do.
Let us get a Cameron in Springfale, Florida, cameeron, You're

(01:31:17):
live on the Russian Embull Show. What's on your mind today? Hi? Mark?
Are you doing? I'm doing great? How are you doing?
I'm doing pretty good now. Actually I've been pretty happy
about what's going on since the administration has changed over.
And what's making you so happy? Then? One thing is

(01:31:37):
the first person who made a mistake and got caught
screwing up, he's out already. He was forced to resign.
I think that's an appropriate way to run an administration.
What you're talking about, this deputy assistant under Press secretary
who was threatening a female reporter from Politico, is that?
Is that what you're talking about? Yep, And I'm glad

(01:31:59):
he was gotten rid of just as soon as they
brought it public. Okay, aside from the fact that they're
firing people expeditiously what else do you like about this
new regime. I love the fact that people are getting
vaccinations quite quickly. I think that the rate at which

(01:32:20):
it's going now is pretty good now, not saying that
they can take full credit for that, well though they can't.
What makes you think that's anything to do? Right before
the last few weeks, we had a fantastic energized and
actually this is something that if you believe in big government,
you should like a big government that's energized enough to

(01:32:42):
achieve a goal like getting a brand new vaccine. They
got the brand new vaccine, they shipped it to the states,
and then a lot of these states botched it, like
a New York Cuomo had old people standing out in
the street for hours in line in Chile December and
January trying to get a vaccine, and then they'd say, sorry,

(01:33:03):
we haven't got we can't do anymore, We're going home
for the night. They basically botched the vaccine rollout in
New York and some of these other states. So what's
that got to do with Biden? I agree, But now
that that Biden has come forward and started just hammering
vaccines down their throats, I don't think they're going to
be able to screw it up even if they try.

(01:33:24):
States like New York will just have so many vaccines
they won't have a choice but to start giving it out. Well,
actually they've been they've had so many vaccines, that's never
been the issue. They've had so many vaccines that they're
actually throwing them away. Once you open the thing up,
you got to use it. And they had this usual thing,
which is what I can't stand, frankly, this kind of hierarchical,

(01:33:46):
regimented thing where if you're a lawyer of all people,
you'll belong to one of the privileged groups that gets
the vaccine in advance. I don't know why all the
courthouses have been closed. That was a complete example, that
was actually a pleat example of how these democrats states
botched it botched the vaccine rollout if you compare to

(01:34:08):
for example. And then they don't even understand the photo
op thing like Ankela Merkel. The first person she gave
the vaccine too was a one hundred year old survivor
of the Spanish flu a century ago. So she said, well,
you survived the Spanish flu. The least we can do
is see you ensure the COVID. There's like fauci AOC, politicians,

(01:34:29):
public health officials, lawyers, Khaleg Saik Mohammad, all these idiots
taking precedence over old people. And that's on the state governors.
What else has the Biden gouying been doing great? What
else has Biden been doing good? Yeah? Actually I believe
that if press conferences have been great under his administration?

(01:34:52):
What do you mean he doesn't do any press conferences.
They've answered every question that every group is brought to him.
Fox News brings questions every week, trying to get them
to trip, and they just answer it. They don't trip.
Oh yeah, and I don't think it's been in many
of them. But okay, I'll have to circle back to you.
You mean these ten sacky things saying she'll have to

(01:35:13):
circle back? Yes, yes, you do. You know how to
circle back? It was a novelty dance from the nineteen sixties.
That's what circle that's the every come on, everybody do
the circle back. Other than that, I have no idea
what it means. But so far they've come back to
every question either a day later or a week later,

(01:35:33):
whenever they have an answer to give them. Might not
be the best answer, but giving answers. What else? How
you mean, like when she trashes Space Force and then
circles back twenty four hours later and says, no, no, no, no,
I don't mean to laugh at it. It's it's a
very serious enterprise, and we're all in favor of it.
You mean like that. I don't believe she trashed it,

(01:35:55):
but it was she laughed at it, of course she did.
I'm military, and I laugh at the idea because it
was all controlled by the Air Force before it just
changing the name. No, that's that's that actually isn't true.
Space Force is just as the United States was one
of the last countries to get a separate air force

(01:36:18):
as a branch of its military, not until after the
Second World War. I think the first was South Africa,
oddly enough, under Field Marshal Smuts, who was very far
sighted about that kind of thing. And it's time and
sometimes it is time to be far sighted about separate branches.
But then, what else do you like about them? Do
you like? How about do you like these new troops

(01:36:40):
in Syria? How's that going for you? Do I like troops? Personally?
Right now? As a veteran, I believe there's a lot
of stuff that we don't know and we shouldn't necessarily
voice our personal opinions about Well, the reason we don't
know is because we're tourists in the heart of darkness,
which was why we put boots on the bund in

(01:37:00):
countries we don't have a clue about what's going on
about and where in fact they are not good guys
and bad guys, but there are fifty shades of gray.
That's basically all fifty shades of grow actually fifty shades
a bad guy in some of those places. So why
is it in the interests of the United States to
send more troops into Syria? You know, you know Trump,
the despised Trump, and you're so much more comfortable under

(01:37:22):
the new regime. Trump's like the first guy. I don't
know how old you are, but I would estimate from
the from the healthy, vocal timber in your voice, that
Trump is the first guy in your lifetime not actually
to be starting more wars. That's incorrect, but I appreciate

(01:37:43):
you thinking my voice as young. Well, okay, well, what
don't you like about Trump not starting wars that we
can't win? Oh no, it's not that I want more
wars started. And it's not that I think that the personally.
I don't think Trump has any idea about warfare. He's

(01:38:04):
never been in the military. He does not have a
good idea about what the military does. Well, tell me
something else. Do you think the last twenty years of
Pentagon Parade generals have had any idea about warfare? You know?
In other words, Afghanistan, the world's most powerful military has

(01:38:24):
been tied down for two decades by goat herds with fertilizer.
Who's running that war? Very very interesting perspective you have, Well,
it's it's not an interesting perspective, it's it's the truth.
We have shock an aar for forty eight hours and
then a long slow bleedout because of a very incompetent

(01:38:47):
general staff. I mean, why, why would you think, for example,
that the Afghan war is a model for anything. I
don't believe the Afghani war is a model for anything.
I think it's foolish to go to war with a
group instead of a country that it's very hard, as
you've seen, and it does not tend to go very well.
It's different when you're fighting a nation, because it's one nation.

(01:39:11):
Versus another. But if you're fighting an insurgency, that's a
that's more of a policing action. It's hard for the
military to police. Well, you know, there's this that's what
wars are. The idea that we're going to be you know,
the idea that Russia is going to declare war and
we're going to have tank battles on the East German

(01:39:33):
plane is so stupid that only the pend I mean,
right now we're at war with China, Cameron, and China
is fighting that war, which is what you do if
you want a war. You said you preferred wars nation
to nation. China regards itself in an adversarial position from US,
and it's using every aspect of its natural national power.

(01:39:55):
It happens to have the largest surface fleet on Earth.
They've overtaken the U Navy in that respect. But they
also use things like intellectual property theft, and they use
they certainly weaponize however this virus originated, they certainly weaponize
it to their advantage. You know, if nations go to war,

(01:40:19):
one difference is that you have to use all elements
of national power, and we haven't, Cameron, final word, You're
gonna have the final word. If you're gonna give me
the final word, I'll take it. I think that we
should we should deal with China in a way that
does not come to blows they think. I believe that

(01:40:41):
having them build our stuff for us isn't necessarily good
for their economy because, yeah, there's the pollutants from it.
They have to deal with all the West. Oh yeah,
the idea of them getting to waste. Yeah, yeah, you
should fly over there, take a bath in the yang.
See they didn't care less about the pollutants. It'd be

(01:41:01):
great to talk to your camera. Glad you enjoyed the
first three weeks of the new regime. I can tell
you something at the end of it. If we don't
get serious about China, as I said at the top
of the hour, it's China's world and we just pay
for it. How stupid is that we are? We are
Basically we still treat China. China still gets foreign aid

(01:41:25):
from America. That's how nuts this is. We treat China
as a developing nation, whereas instead it's brought up half
our universities, it's running ports across the planet, and we
still treat it as a developing nation worthy of foreign
aid from the United States State Department. Thank you you
call Cameron, mark stein in for us, we got more

(01:41:47):
straight ahead, mark stein in for us. Let's go to kneel.
Let's go to kneel in New Smyrna Beach. Also from Florida,
Neil your live on the Rush, Nimbush, what's on their mind? Hi, Mark,
thanks for having me and thanks to Rush and all
my prayers. One of the greatest Americans of my lifetime.

(01:42:08):
Absolutely absolutely thank you for that Nail. The reason for
my call is there's the far and away. The biggest
scandal of the whole pandemic was the whole handling of
gain of function research, and Fauci was the one pushing
gain of function research during the Biden Obama administration and

(01:42:32):
about middenway. They were actually conducting it even though many
scientists didn't want to do it because they were afraid
that a pandemic could result. Right, and so in the
mid middle of their administration in twenty fourteen fifteen, there
were a couple of mishaps at our government labs with
smallpox and with anthrax, and so they suddenly said, why

(01:42:52):
are we doing this here? And so they could they
could have stopped it. They could have fortified the labs
so that they didn't have the problems, but instead they
made probably the biggest mistake in the history of America,
and they moved the research to Wuhan, China and funded
it with three point six million dollars at a minimum.
And now we have two and a half million people
dead and growing, and Nuts talks about it absolutely nail.

(01:43:18):
It's this relationship between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and
a powerful figures in public health in the West, including
Fauci and the US guy on this World Health Organization Commission.
It's that relationship that is central to this. As you say, basically,

(01:43:41):
they offshored this racket to Wuhan because it would be
easier to do it there, and the Chinese are relatively
heartless about this thing, so have escapes the lab. They
don't care. And as a result of that, we got
two and a half million people dead across the planet.
And you remind me of something we talk about people.
We we're focused because life has been shut down, and

(01:44:04):
so you're focused on why your local restaurant or your
hair salon or whatever isn't open. But the thing about
this is if we all of that, all these lockdowns,
all these restrictions, all these masks are a complete waste
of time. Unless we punish China for this and we
ensure that this malign relationship between Weston Public Health, including

(01:44:28):
the poster boy Fauci, and what's going on in the
Wuhan Institute of Virology, unless we actually break that link,
the whole thing has been a waste of time. And
we're ending our lives. We're giving up on the richness
and variety of life for absolutely nothing, Neil, and we
need to point the finger of blame at the Obama

(01:44:50):
Biden administration who allowed it to happen. Yeah, you're you're
right on that too. You know what's so weird about
this is Fauci has been working for the United States
government since nineteen sixty eight. Essentially, he's been in I
think he's had the same job title for the last
forty years, but he started presumably in a lower title

(01:45:11):
in nineteen sixty eight, So in a certain sense he's
immune to anything like transient governments coming and going. But
you're right that this was a for some reason, this
is not something we should ever have been mixed up in.
And we are now stuck with something. Now we're being
asked to swallow a completely ludicrous official lie that the

(01:45:35):
coronavirus originated with frozen food on the packaging of frozen
food that came in from Australia or India or Slovenia
or Papua New Guinea or anywhere. Basically except everybody but
China is to blame for this, and it's one of
the most disgraceful things. Thank you Neil for that call

(01:45:56):
and for seeing us out today. We will those it
out in just a moment. Just want to correct something
I said earlier, apparently called the lady, the poor lady
who died at the Capitol shot at point blank range,
Ashley Bobbitt. Her name is, in fact Ashley Babbitt, and
I should remember that. You should remember that she seems

(01:46:18):
to have been memory hold by the rest of the
US media, and we should remember her name. It used
to be a famous name a century ago after Sinclair
Lewis wrote his novel Babbitt and then Babbitt became the
name for a kind of middle class conformist used by
a snare as elitist for the next half century. A

(01:46:41):
show so but at least they didn't actually shoot them dead.
This has been Mark snein My thanks to Crash and
mister Snugley. The Rush Limbo Show returns tomorrow
