WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jun 01, 2021

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Some days, Washington Post ran a big blaring headline thousands

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>of ICE detainees claim they were forced into labor, a

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:10.719
<v Speaker 1>violation of anti slavery laws. Wow, that sounds really bad.

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll bet right now you're asking, what's this all about,

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>il rushboe. Well, the first thing you need to know, folks,

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>is this supposed forced labor happened during the Obama administration.

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>A two thousand fourteen lawsuits getting attention now because the

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>federal judge just granted the defendants class action status. When

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>this suit just began, it was nine defendants. Lawyers were

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>suing for five million dollars. But with class action status,

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>damages for up to sixty thousand illegal immigrants could grow substantially,

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.319
<v Speaker 1>says the Post. In other words, the lawyers could hit

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>the jackpot if they prevail. Here's what else you need

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to know. The lawsuit is against a private prison run

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>by an evil corporation. This is the first lawsuit of

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>its kind to get this far. Liberals are excited because

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>they hate private prisons with a passion. Now, the most

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>important fact, the legal immigrants were never slaves. They were volunteers.

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>They chose to work for the pay they received it's

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a normal arrangement in jails and prisons and attention facilities.

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Legal precedent allows prisons to offer inmates reduced wages like this,

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>especially since they're not paying for their own upkeep. But

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the people behind the lawsuit are leftists. They're trying to

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>bankrupt the system, they're trying to enrich themselves, and mostly

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to grandstand just for you. H
