1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast.

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Rush twenty four seven podcast.

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Let me start by saying wow, and welcome to the

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: final edition of Open Line Friday on the Rush Limbaugh Program.

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: It'll be a fun, memorable day, like all of Russia's

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: shows were, We're gonna have some fun. I'm going to

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: talk to some more people around the greatest country in

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: the world. Eight hundred two eight two, twenty eight eighty two.

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: But I'd be lying if I didn't say this a

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: little surreal, but in a good way, in a bittersweet way.

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: I was talking with the team, and that's you know

12
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: one thing that Rush would have said. You've probably heard

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: him say it last year and even before that. He

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: would say, folks, there's still work to be done. We

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: can't stop. You know. He would say that this is

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: a guy who fought right to the end, literally until

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: he no longer had a voice. Literally could you could

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: hear it? But that was his passion. So know this,

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Know that the Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies never closes,

20
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: the learning never ends. You'll always get the news of

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: the day. Even though today is the final Open Line Friday.

22
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: It's it's going to be thrilling. It's going to be

23
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: thrilling for you calling in, but even more so for

24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: those of us here because we cannot thank you enough.

25
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: No one can thank you enough. The greatest audience on

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: the planet, and you know how Rush felt about you.

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: On Monday, we begin a new chapter at the EIB network.

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Play Travis and the Buck Sexton Show. Now understand, these

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: are two guys this generation inspired by Rush. In fact,

30
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Ali on the EIB team said, well, they're they're kind

31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: of Rush babies. Same time, same station, same sensibility, And

32
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: another brilliant person on our staff said this, I wish,

33
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I wish I could take the credit for this, but

34
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: they we were having a discussion. This has been a

35
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: big discussion for the last couple of days. Understand that

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: lives are changing, and I believe for the better. I

37
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: think I think we're entering a new chapter in the country.

38
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: We're entering a new chapter at the EIB. But somebody said,

39
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: you'll always have the same sense when you tune in

40
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: noon to three, same time, same station at the EIB network,

41
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: that you're not alone in how you see the world.

42
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: And I thought that was brilliant. Like I said, I

43
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: wish I came up with it, But that's that's what

44
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh did. From the minute you first hear the guy,

45
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: you're like, what, who what? It's Oh my gosh, this

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: guy's tapped into my brain. Honey, you got to check

47
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: this guy out. And then normally the wife or the

48
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: girlfriend or the boyfriend or whatever says, oh my god,

49
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: he sounds just like you. He thinks just like you think. Well,

50
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: actually he thought more like millions and millions of people thought.

51
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: That was what made it so exciting. Here's Rush. These

52
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: three hours of the day are these three hours of

53
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: the day when life seems normal in this country. And

54
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I would maintain that most of the people listening to

55
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: this program or are happy and of good cheer during

56
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: the three hours this program is. On the other benefit,

57
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: there was a cheerfulness and a graciousness. And even when

58
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: you meet Rush, you always get the feeling of man,

59
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: I am so blessed, woo, I am so lucky. This

60
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: is just I'm tingling. You've got this tingling feeling from him.

61
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: He was so grateful for his success and he wanted

62
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: to share how you get there with so many people

63
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: that's why there are so many rush babies. That's why

64
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: there's so many people in the business like me that said,

65
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna do talk radio one day. One

66
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: of these days, I'm gonna that's that's where you know.

67
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: And this is the inspiration that led Clay Travis and

68
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton to the new show on Monday at twelve noon.

69
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: So while there'd be different voices, know this that the

70
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: team is committed to bringing you normal with a healthy

71
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: dose of fun. Rush off and reminded us that we

72
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: only get one life. And he really shared that with

73
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: us in twenty twenty and said attitude is everything. He

74
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: was acutely aware of the virus that is liberalism. Here

75
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: is let me shoot you straight. If there is a

76
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: virus that is sickening the American people, it is the

77
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: mainstream media as currently constituted. That's the virus. There is

78
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: a poisoning of the American mind taking place, and it's

79
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: happening in many places. But every place that's happening is

80
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: run and controlled by the left, be it academ be

81
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, be it Silicon Valley, or the drive by media.

82
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: And what EIB is is the antidote EIB is an

83
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: airborne phenomenon spread by casual contact, and it's innoculating it.

84
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: It cures you of this thickening, poisonous disease liberalism spread

85
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: by the drive by media. And this will continue to

86
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: be that spot. So when you're confused, you get up

87
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: in the morning and you buy accident and turn on

88
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: some network news morning show, and you start to get

89
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: sick to your stomach and panic because maybe Gail King

90
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: or Don Lemon shows up, or or you know, Anderson

91
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Cooper is there. You're like, what is happening on the planet.

92
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: You know you'll have a spot, but I gotta see

93
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: what they're saying on the EIB. I want to Claire

94
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: plain Buck think about this. So know that. So without

95
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: further ado, let's fire up the Big Friday. My kid

96
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: it who from New York City. It's open Line Friday. Wow,

97
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: that darn introduction still gives me goosebumps. Eight hundred two

98
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: eight two twenty eight eighty two. My name's Ken Matthews,

99
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: your final Guide host on the EIB network. And I

100
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: know Rush you talked about the virus of liberalism, and

101
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if there's virologists that know about I'm sure

102
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: there are virologists that know about liberalism, but I don't

103
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: know if you caught this. And this is something that

104
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people were ahead of, including Rush. Now

105
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: we find out there's a top virologist he just admitted

106
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, it's she, forgive me. Well, it really

107
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter in twenty twenty one, doesn't it, does it?

108
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't I be calling them them? They? Anyway?

109
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: It is a woman, Alina Chan, which is one of

110
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: the coolest names. I mean, she could be a superhero

111
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: with that name. Top virologists admitting lying to American public

112
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: for three months on likely Wuhan lab leak theory because

113
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: they did not want to be associated with President Trump.

114
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: How about that? So President Trump comes out along with

115
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo you may remember that, and said, you know what,

116
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: this is looking more and more like this. And then

117
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: what does the news media do? Oh my god, look

118
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: what just came out of Rush's mouth or excuse me,

119
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: Trump's mouth. Rush said it too. And that's the thing.

120
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: When President Trump or even Rush would bring something up,

121
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: the news media would go, oh, I don't know if

122
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: we should cover that, but they're right. Rush is right.

123
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: President Trump was right, I don't know if we want

124
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: to cover it. Can't we go in the other direction.

125
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: Can't we just make something up? I mean, we're CNN,

126
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: That's what we do. Can't we make stuff up? So

127
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: they did, and that's what happened because President Trump said,

128
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: along with Pompeo, this is probably a leak. It's unbelievable

129
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: how much truth came from the mouths of the Trump administration.

130
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: People there and because of the bias and the hate.

131
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: There were people in medicine, there were people in media,

132
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: there were people in academia, and they were willing to

133
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:15,239
Speaker 1: sacrifice maybe your health, your safety, your job, your economy,

134
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: your kids' school, your travel, just because they didn't want

135
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: to be on Twitter getting attacked by a bunch of

136
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: bots saying I can't believe you you agree with President Trump.

137
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: Here's Mark Meadows. Journalists should have done their job. There

138
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: was a pullet surprise waiting there for somebody to report on,

139
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: and candidly, what they did is there was so much

140
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: animosity towards Donald Trump, the president and his administration, that

141
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: they weren't willing to look at the facts. We had

142
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: shared those with a number of reporters, and what you

143
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: had was doctor Fauci and a number in the media

144
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: that we're willing to ignore it and actually side with China.

145
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: You know who first said there's a Pulitzer Prize waiting

146
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: for someone to report on and candidly tell people what's

147
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: going on with this virus. That was Rush Limbaugh and

148
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: a lot of us on the conservative side. That's what

149
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: frustrates us. We wonder, why did it take you so long?

150
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: Why did you have to be kicking and screaming into

151
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: every truthful event with the facts or whatever it may be,

152
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, whether it's the border. The

153
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: border is another great example. People were all over the

154
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: border situation. But the news media is either trying to

155
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: protect mister Biden or they're just so enraged that President

156
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: Trump got so much done in the years he was

157
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: in and he basically pulled the curtain back. President Trump

158
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: pulled the curtain back. Millions of people, including Democrats, during

159
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, said well, wait a minute, why didn't

160
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: we just do that before? Why couldn't we just do

161
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: because you had political hacks in power, You had people

162
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: that put themselves first. You had people bought and paid

163
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: for you had people that were compromised. President Trump came

164
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: in and said, boy, there's some broken stuff here. All right,

165
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: let's fix it. Can you get it done by five o'clock?

166
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: And what do the political parties say, Well, we might

167
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: be able to get that done by twenty thirty nine.

168
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: Well we can't. Gorse said, We're all going to be

169
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: underwater by two thousand, so you can see the conflict there.

170
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Well, it's great to see you

171
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: on the final edition of Open Line Friday on the

172
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: Russia Limbaugh Program. My name's Ken, I'm the final guide host,

173
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: and Dakota of Grand Rapids, Michigan is the very first

174
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: call on this momentous event. Welcome to the Rush Limbo Show. Hey, Ken,

175
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm feeling good all under Hey, I

176
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: just want to say Megatto, Shu and the Limbaugh family

177
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: for everything that you guys have done and everything they've

178
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: done over the years. Screener told me to jump right

179
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: into it, so I wanted to get your take and

180
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: see do you think the blatant lies and back and

181
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: forth of the media and liberals in generals, do you

182
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: think it's opening the eyes of the younger generation and

183
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: pushing them towards conservatism. I do, and I think I

184
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: think we talked about this before, Dakota, that I think

185
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: the left has overplayed its hand in twenty twenty like

186
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: never ever, ever before. Understand that several generations were able

187
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: to see, including the newest, They were able to see

188
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: the behavior of the media and the left during the

189
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Trump administration, and then they got to see the behavior

190
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: during the Biden regime. And I think the news media

191
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: can no longer control the narrative. I think they lost

192
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: control of the narrative in twenty sixteen. They've never gotten

193
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: it back. And all they do all day is try

194
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: to plug holes in a dam, and I think people

195
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: are getting wet. Water is getting through. So to answer

196
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: your question, I think, probably for the first time ever,

197
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: the awakening is legitimate. I don't think the news media

198
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: can ever turn this around. They're never going to turn

199
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: They're not going to turn around Hunter Biden or you know,

200
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: COVID or the border. They can't put that back in

201
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: the box. So that is a great question though, and

202
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: we as conservatives, we have asked that for years. I mean,

203
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: I had a caller on yesterday's show, and I apologize.

204
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I forget where he called from, but he said, how

205
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: long are Democrats going to keep electing people in places

206
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: like Detroit and Los Angeles and New York and Newark,

207
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: in Baltimore and Philadelphia. And I can go on because

208
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, you know all the blue cities by heart,

209
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: because they're usually where the crime is going up or

210
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: the riots are. That's how you get to That's how

211
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: you get to know Democrat run cities. All you got

212
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: to do is watch local news or national news and

213
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: you'll go, oh, I wonder, Oh, of course it was

214
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: in Detroit. Oh it's in Chicago. Oh yeah, they just

215
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: all resigned and that guy resigned and the mayor's going

216
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: to jail. That must be a blue run city. Of

217
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: course it is. I think people are starting to see it.

218
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: And the other part icing on the cake, but very bad.

219
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can have both. But too

220
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: much icing, you know, gets you a little hyper anyway.

221
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: But the icing on the cake is Biden has done

222
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: so much damage in the last six months his administration.

223
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: There's a list of things. Maybe we'll mention it later

224
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: in the show that President Trump looks like the most

225
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: competent president ever because people see it in their paychecks.

226
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: They see it at the grocery store, they see at

227
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the gas pump, they see it at the airport. They

228
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: see it if they're buying wood, building a house, buying meat.

229
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: People are like, something isn't right here, and that's good,

230
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: that's good for conservatism for the only reason that the

231
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Dems are running everything. So the Dems run the media,

232
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: the Dems run the House, the Senate, they're in the

233
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Oval Office, they run academia, they run Hollywood, and they

234
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: still can't get it right. And they don't control the

235
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: narrative anymore because truth is more powerful than any narrative

236
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: you can whip up. You could have the best narrative

237
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: in the world. Just ask Anderson Cooper or other people

238
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: that lie all the time to stay employed. You can

239
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: have the best narrative in the world. But what's going

240
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: to happen is somebody on YouTube or some citizen journalist

241
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: is going to find the truth. They're going to are

242
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: pumping it out and millions and millions of we the

243
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: people are going to share it and then before you

244
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: know it, it ends up on the eib network and

245
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: then it's uh, oh, so this is what they're up against.

246
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: So I am personally, I've never been so energized and

247
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: positive about how we can turn this around. Sometimes when

248
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: it looks this dark and things look this hopeless, it's

249
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: easy to say we're never going to turn it around.

250
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: But I think it's so over the top. I think

251
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: common sense is going to bring a lot of people

252
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: to the conservative side. Common sense is going to say,

253
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: you know you're right, Maxine Waters makes no sense. Joe

254
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: Biden cannot complete a sentence. Let's go to Stanford. That's

255
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: the name in West Valley City, Utah. Welcome to the Russia,

256
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rush Let show, thank you. And I

257
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: would actually like to say that I'm ten years old

258
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: a reader of the Rush Revere book, and I know

259
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: wisdom and legacy will live on well forever. Holy Moley,

260
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: talk about a great new generation of Conservatism. Tell me

261
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: one of your favorite parts. I had no idea you

262
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: were ten years old, Stanford. I just said, all right,

263
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: we got a college person calling, what's this all about?

264
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: So what's your favorite part of the series. I've read

265
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: it myself. Some of my favorite parts are from rush

266
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: Revere in the Presidency and the Star Spangled Banner, And

267
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: did you like the horse liberty. Yes, liberty is very

268
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: funny because I hear a lot of people talking about liberty,

269
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot of young people like yourself, and they always

270
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: say it sounds to me like Russia is in side liberty,

271
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: like his voice is in there. Is that true? Um?

272
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: I I would say I believe so. Yes. So I

273
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: just wanted before we go, and I'm so glad you called. Uh,

274
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: how are you feeling? Are you feeling good? And are

275
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: things going well? And you taught you have a big

276
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: summer planned. I know a lot of ten year olds, Uh,

277
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: they were out of school because of the pandemic and stuff,

278
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: so it was kind of weird. Are things back to

279
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: normal for you? Just about just about back to normal?

280
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: And so what what what do your plan? You have

281
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: any any big plans? Well, we're kind of we're kind

282
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: of just mostly staying home. Well that that's that's what

283
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: Fauci would want. So maybe you've got a big yard.

284
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling Stanford. I didn't expect that when

285
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: I asked him. I I thought maybe it was gonna

286
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: be well, we're you know, we're taking the horses out,

287
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: or we're gonna go skateboarding. I didn't expect that. But

288
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: but maybe I love live radio. Maybe maybe he had

289
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: been out a lot and it's more relaxing for him

290
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: to be at home. Eight hundred two eight two twenty

291
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: eight eighty two. It is the final edition of Open

292
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Line Friday on the final Rush Limbaugh Program. And this

293
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: is truly a special moment for me personally. And I'll

294
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: squeeze in a few seconds now because I have time.

295
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for being such a gracious audience. You you

296
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: embrace all of us as guest host. There's such a

297
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: level of camaraderie between the millions of people that listen

298
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: to Rush and anybody that's around Rush, and it's a

299
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: true blessing. We'll be right back. It is Open Line Friday,

300
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: and here's some good news. And this kind of addresses

301
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: our first call of the day. And they believe it

302
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: was Dakota who wondered, you know what, what is the

303
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: direction of the country? And keep in mind, you know,

304
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: are people going to be awakened like so many of

305
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: you are in this audience because we look a little further,

306
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: We do the research, We pay attention to a different

307
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: set of leaders, a different set of journalists. Here's the deal.

308
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: The main think about what the mainstream media has been propagandizing.

309
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: How long they've been doing that and still still this survey,

310
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: This survey excited me this morning, and that is rare

311
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: that well, that a survey would excite me. But anyway,

312
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: this one did eighty percent from Rasmussen eighty percent of

313
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: Americans National Survey found that allowing offensive, inaccurate free speech

314
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: is better than giving the government power to decide. Let

315
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: me tell you what the disparity in it is in

316
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: case you think it was something that was really close.

317
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: This was so refreshing today, especially considering all the censorship

318
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: and banning and lot banned and libel and slanter and

319
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: all the garbage that's going on swirling around. Eighty percent

320
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: say we want free speech. We don't care what the

321
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: speech is. This is America's free speech. Nine percent thinks

322
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: it would be better to let the government decide what

323
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: you should be allowed to say. Now, who are those people?

324
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: Who are those people? Yeah? I really think that I

325
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: would prefer words in my mouth, Yeah, like governor will

326
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: offense of are maybe Governor Cuomo? You just I know,

327
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm a grown man with a master's degree, and I

328
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: still wear a mask in the shower. But can't you

329
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: just tell me how to think? Who are those nine percent?

330
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the people that run both political parties.

331
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: They're establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats, and the news media.

332
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: That's your nine percent right there, we're talking about leadership.

333
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: They're the people that say, oh, oh oh, don't talk

334
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: about no, no, no no, no, don't mention that. Stop. So

335
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: that should make you feel good if you're wondering the

336
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: direction of the country, if you think are people getting it?

337
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: I would agree, yes. I've always put more faith in

338
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: the American people anyway. I think more of we the people,

339
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: get what's going on globally and nationally than most people

340
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: in newsrooms. All you have to do is listen. How

341
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: many times have you met somebody at an airport, met

342
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: somebody at a bar wherever. Maybe you're at a party

343
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you end up in a

344
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: one hour conversation. You're driving home and going, oh my god,

345
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: that was like the greatest conversation, you know, like conversations

346
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: used to have with Rush. Well that's Rush was a

347
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 1: normal guy. Look at where he came from, look at

348
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: where he ended up, look at who helped him get there.

349
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: You and that's what made it work. So I really

350
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: believe that the in addition to the Republican Party never

351
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: being the same again, thank god, I think the news

352
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: media is going to undergo some changes that will we

353
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: will like because people are understanding the eighty percent are saying,

354
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, these guys are full of poop. Isn't

355
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: there another channel we can put on? So that's good news.

356
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: And if someone says, oh, that's that poll is close, No,

357
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: it isn't close. If it was if it was fifty

358
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: two percent say, and forty nine percent say, I wouldn't

359
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: even have brought it up. But eight out of ten

360
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: people now, sadly, you might have one of the nine

361
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: percent in your family. And that's that's really uncomfortable, isn't it.

362
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: Here's rush on free speech. Free speech is the way

363
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: we will lose our free speech. I meant that to

364
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: be provocative because it's exactly right the free speech movement,

365
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: shall we say, Freedom does not end by people running

366
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: around chanting or protesting gone with freedom, That's not how

367
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: it ends. Freedom is killed off by people claiming that

368
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: the greater good, or the general will or the betterment

369
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: of the community requires speech patrol. Yes, for the greater good,

370
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: the general will, the good of the community. We must

371
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: make sure that's speech that doesn't defend or hurt, isn't uttered,

372
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: and isn't heard. Yes, we can't hurt anybody's feelings and

373
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: we can't offend anybody. And this is exactly how loss

374
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: of freedom begins. As a good thing, as a compassion thing.

375
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: Venezuela is a present living example. I mean, my commercial

376
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: is what's happening on American College camp I So he

377
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: once again, Rush nailed it again, and that is so important.

378
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: Free speech is the way we will lose our free speech.

379
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: And he nailed it because think about you going on

380
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: Facebook maybe three months ago with your friend Timmy or Becky,

381
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: those are my generic names. You're on Facebook with your Tim,

382
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: your friend Timmy, your Becky, and you go, hey, I

383
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: just spoke to my doctor and he said that hydroxy

384
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: chloroquine thing really works and you don't need to panic,

385
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: just relax, take this vitamin, take that vitamin, don't worry

386
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: about this, and get some hydroxy chloroquin And then this

387
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: does not meet standards of the puppeteers running the puppets

388
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: at Facebook. Sadly, all the puppeteers are on the same page.

389
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that? And all? Have you noticed? But

390
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: that's how it ends. That's how it ends. This is

391
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: why we're so adamant about free speech. I hate to

392
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: quote my lieutenant governor again, but I have so much

393
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: fun with soundbites on my own show in Harrisburg. I

394
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: play him all the time because a day doesn't go

395
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: by where he doesn't say something ridiculous. But this is

396
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: my favorite. He said, if you question anything about this election,

397
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: you're a liar. That's a lie. You shouldn't have free speech.

398
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: He should be censored. You shouldn't be allowed to just

399
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: say whatever you want. And again he's in that nine percent.

400
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: He's a lieutenant governor. He's a leftist, hardcore leftist. But

401
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: this is the ridiculous. This is sadly and I was

402
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: worried because I was afraid that this is being taught

403
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: in schools that you know, this is free speech if

404
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: you agree with somebody, but if you raise your voice,

405
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: it's not, or if you say something mean, it's not.

406
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: And that's so wrong. The beauty of free speech is

407
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: feelings go crazy. With real free speech, feelings get hurt,

408
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: people get angry, there's debate, there's passion, but free speech

409
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: is free speech. So that's what we need to pay

410
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: so much attention to because that's what they've done. I

411
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: am just thrilled by that poll. I think I'm gonna

412
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: use it on my show next week. That's a great pole.

413
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: So you're in good hands. There's a lot more thinking

414
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: people out there than we always underestimated because we watch

415
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: the news media, and the news media makes it look

416
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: like everyone disagrees with a conservative. Doesn't it like everyone

417
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: nobody wants a gun, nobody wants free speech, everybody wants

418
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: an open border. I mean, that's how you get a

419
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: melting pot. But we find out that's not the case.

420
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: You know. Rush made an observation last year on cost

421
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: differences in cell phone plans. The big name cell phone

422
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: companies charge more because they have all the overhead and

423
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: those retail stores they have stadium sponsorships. The newer companies

424
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: like Pure Talk have the same kind of coverage but

425
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: none of the expensive overhead, so they can charge less

426
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: and provide the same coverage. If you're with Verizon or

427
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: AT and T or T Mobile, switching to Pure Talk

428
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: could save your family over eight hundred bucks a year.

429
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: Switching is as easy as switching out your simcard. You

430
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: can keep your number, keep your phone, or get huge

431
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: discounts on the latest iPhones and androids. There's a reason

432
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: why Rush trusted pure Talk, and there's reasons Tens of

433
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: thousands of us on the EI here listeners and here

434
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: on the EIB have made the switch. Pure Talk delivers

435
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: on parallel customer service with every one of their reps

436
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: based right here in the US. Get unlimited talk, text

437
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: and six gigs of data for just thirty dollars a month,

438
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: and if you go over on that data, they don't

439
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: charge you for it. From your cell phone dial pound

440
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: two fifty say pure Talk, and you'll say fifty percent

441
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: off your first month. That's pound two five zero say

443
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: time auto dialed text message from pure Talk. Well, thanks

Speaker 1: eighty two. I gotta bring this up because this is

452
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: I think my parents are tuning today down in Florida

453
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: because when you get a certain age, that's the law.

454
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: Little did they know they'd be in one of the

455
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: freest states in the United States living there now, which

456
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: is great. Everybody's locking to Florida in Texas. I have

457
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: a friend in Texas. He goes, oh my god, there's

458
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: so many people coming here and they have Biden stickers

459
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: on their car. Isn't that a shame. It's such a shame.

460
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: It's almost like a band of a band of bandits

461
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: the left, you know, they go from town to town

462
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: and they destroy it and they'll burn it to the

463
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: ground if you disagree. And then when things get too crazy,

464
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: they go to a red state so they can make

465
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: a living again. Feel better. So this is really gonna

466
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: excite you. There's a study on welfare because one of

467
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: the biggest problems we have now is we have too

468
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: many job openings and not enough people want to fill them.

469
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: And it's not because we don't have enough people. It's

470
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: because we have too many people making really good money

471
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: not working. The Committee to Unleash Prosperity found that supplemental

472
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: employment benefits to continue to flow in many states are

473
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: the frosting on the cake and bring some non working

474
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: family incomes to a yearly level of one hundred fifty

475
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: thousand a year. That would be dollars, by the way,

476
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: not pasos or yen. Although twenty five states, mostly led

477
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: by Republicans, are stopping the free money, or I should

478
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: say stopping sharing your money because all money of the

479
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: government is our money, the other twenty five states and Washington,

480
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: DC are letting the money flow through September. So the

481
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: study really showcased the fact that the incentive to avoid

482
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: working comes at the same time when jobs are going unfilled.

483
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: Nine point three million unfilled jobs is two million beyond

484
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: the pre pandemic record and rate for the US. So

485
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: just like conservatives predict it, you don't have to be

486
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: an economist to predict this kind of stuff. It's very

487
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: common sensical. If you say stay at home, you don't

488
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: need to come in today, We'll give you thirty seven

489
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: dollars an hour until September. Wow, Like for Massachusetts it's

490
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven bucks an hour. Two unemployed parents and two

491
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: kids can rake in thirty seven dollars an hour, which

492
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: would come to about one forty seven annually. And that's

493
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: seventy eight thousand higher than the average household income. This

494
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: is happening all over the country. Where in blue states

495
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: because that's where they need to buy votes the most. Washington,

496
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Minnesota, Connecticut, Oregon, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Rhode Island, Colorado, Kentucky.

497
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: I've always forget what color that state is on the map.

498
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: Now it goes back and forth, Maine, Vermont, Kansas, California,

499
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: and I can go on New Mexico, Nevada, Delaware, Virginia.

500
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: It's a freight train of your money. So thanks for

501
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: working so hard, because they all pay out a collective

502
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: rate of benefits and cashola six figures a year. So

503
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 1: if you're wondering, gosh, there's nobody you know, I've been

504
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: waiting in the drive through for nine hours. Why should

505
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: you go? Why should you go work in fast food?

506
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: If Governor Newsom will take that guy's money there, the

507
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: small business owner, and just give it to you to

508
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: stay home, See how awesome America is? I mean when

509
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: you think about it, don't ever think your money is

510
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: not going to good places. There's millions of people that

511
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: depend on you, so please work harder, be innovative, start

512
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: your businesses, and keep those taxes coming. Eight hundred two

513
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: eight two twenty eight eighty two. Jerry in Long Island,

514
00:33:53,800 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: New York. Jerry, Welcome to the final open Line Friday. Yeah,

515
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: in all my attempts to make sense of all the

516
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: ridiculous news I've heard and watched in the last two years,

517
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: have come to pretty simple basic conclusion. America, in my

518
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: years of being around here, has been a very forward,

519
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: progressive nation. We've always had vision, we were doers, and

520
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: what's being introduced to us now is completely backwards. It's regressive.

521
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: So on the right you've got a center. Right, you've

522
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: got people who have a vision, are willing to put

523
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: their skin in the game. And on the left you've

524
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: got nothing but followers. And in my mind and in

525
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: their mind, they're nothing but losers, and they know it,

526
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: so they choose to follow their ridiculous lies, their woke theories,

527
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: and their race theory. It's all excuses to not challenge capitalism.

528
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: So in my mind, they loss and I choose to

529
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: say it out to them because there's no political correctness

530
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: coming out of my mind, out of my mouth. I've

531
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: seen what this country was, and I'm gonna fight to

532
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: keep it going in the direction that it should be going. Well,

533
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: God bless you, Jerry. Let me ask you before you go,

534
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: do you think do you think we can turn it around? Yes?

535
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: I do so do I I couldn't agree more. Believe people,

536
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 1: when the people on the left, you know, they start

537
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: acquiring children and properties and businesses and they get skin

538
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: in the game, all of a sudden, they're going to

539
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: realize one day opsim a, I'm a conservative, and they're

540
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: going to be shocked and they'll be embarrassed, but they'll

541
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: see it's Ne's a c. So yeah, I think we

542
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: will come out this on the good side. Well, thank

543
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: you Jerry from calling in from New York. That's a

544
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: great analysis. And remember if people have a low opinion

545
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: of themselves, which that's what the Democrat Party generates, that's

546
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: why they teach kids you're this color, you got to

547
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: feel that way. You're this color, you got to feel

548
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: that way. You need to look at that person this way,

549
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: because if you don't look at that person that way,

550
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: then blahlah blah blah, then you can control them. If

551
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: people are afraid, anxious, insecure, embarrassed, in trouble, they can

552
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: be controlled. But if you're all about confidence and pursuing success,

553
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: treating everyone equal, no one can control you. That's why

554
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: the majority of America is actually still in control. We'll

555
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: be right back. It is Open Line Friday on the

556
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,920

Speaker 1: high note, the great great great grandmother family in Scotland.

564
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: Just lovely people. I didn't understand a word they said,

565
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: but they're lovely people. And I suggested that they take

566
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: over the UK and be the new Royal family because

567
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: I've had it with the UK and their crazy royal family.

568
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: So check that out Rush Limbaugh dot com. Oh and

569
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: Rush twenty four seven, it'll be around. It's not going anywhere,

570
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: so check that out. And also coming up some of

571
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: the crazy things inside Biden's infrastructure bill. Oh my gosh,

572
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: I had no idea it was this bad. Check this

573
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: one out. Twenty billion dollars for racial equity and wait

574
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: for it, environmental justice. Nice to see you an hour two.

575
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: Thrilled that you're here. I know it's a it's a

576
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: special day for you as well. The final edition of

577
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: Open Line Friday on the Rush Limbaugh Program. The final

578
00:37:54,680 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh Program. You know Rush, And it's it's interesting

579
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you do this, but I do.

580
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: I do have several friends that make the same mistake.

581
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: They always confuse Rush and Trump, especially last year the names.

582
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: They'll say, Oh, did you hear what Trump's? I mean Rush?

583
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's because, first of all, I think

584
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: they're so like minded with their love for America President

585
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Rush. I just think and then you know,

586
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: if you see enough pictures of them talking and you know,

587
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: playing golf, for you hear them talking on the show

588
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: and Rush Rush had a train of his own. You

589
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: hear get on the Trump train. I have a really

590
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: cool hoodie that that says get on the Trump train

591
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: or get left behind. And I never wear it on

592
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: the subway ever. That's the big that's the big test

593
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: here in Pennsylvania. Would you wear that at eleven o'clock

594
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: and filling on the subway? No? I would put it

595
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: in my trunk and put on a eagle jersey. Anyway.

596
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: So Rush started a train too, This this train that

597
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: started in nineteen eighty eight, this uh energy of conservatism,

598
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: and pretty soon people just flocked to Rush's common sense

599
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: approach and his sense, his sense of humor, and his

600
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: smart allegory. And this train has a lot of momentum

601
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: and it will continue on Monday. The train continues on Monday.

602
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sex did the Clay Travis and

603
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. They are inspired by Rush, and they're

604
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: they're now on board with you, same time, same station,

605
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: same sensibilities. Again, as someone on our staff so aptly said,

606
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: you will know when you tune in you're not alone

607
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: and how you see the world. There will be things

608
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: that will be familiar to you. So we encourage you

609
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: to stay on this train. One of the things is

610
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: the theme song. Here's Rush. This song that you're hearing

611
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: is a looped version the intro to a song by

612
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: Chrissy Hind and The Pretenders called My City Was Gone.

613
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: I'm calling attention to this because I haven't I haven't

614
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: talked about this song in many, many moons, and I

615
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: don't know how many of you know where the song

616
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: is from. You so identify it with this program. Understandably

617
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: so thirty plus years, but this song is used with

618
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: the permission of one of the most legendary female performers

619
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: in rock, Chrissy Hind. Her publishing country company actually tried

620
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: to take it away. I guess this is back in

621
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: the early nineties when we were still doing the program

622
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: out of New York. The publishing firm tried to take

623
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: it away, and she interceded and told them, effectively to

624
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: pound Sand that if I wanted to continue to use it,

625
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: that I would have her permission to use it. We

626
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: negotiated a price. We pay them an annual fee for

627
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: the usage of the tune. I point this out because

628
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: Chrissy Hind is out today. In a story in the

629
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: UK Daily Mail and the headline the Pretenders, Chrissy Hind

630
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: praises Trump for honoring Rush Limbaugh despite being a liberal herself.

631
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: She's doing this because her dad loved Limbaugh and she

632
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: believes in the right to disagree. This is another reason why.

633
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: But she was on w PLJ in New York when

634
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: they were Scott Shannon and guys for asking her about

635
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: this during the controversy of the mean. We actually had

636
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: the song taken away for a period of I think

637
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: three weeks or a month until she interceded. She was

638
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: on PLJ in New York. They asked her about it.

639
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: She said, I don't care why. If Rush wants to

640
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: use it, fine with me, which totally confounded her publishing company.

641
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: So we got the song back. The reason is that

642
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: her dad was a huge fan of this program. Her

643
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 1: dad's name was Melville, nickname was Budd and Chrissy hind

644
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: says that her late father, Melville would have hand would

645
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: have loved Trump's presidency, would have absolutely adored Trump, and

646
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: would have would have just been excited as he could

647
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: be when Trump presented to me the Medal of Freedom

648
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: at the State of the Union. Liberal rock star Chris

649
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: she's a big animal rights efficient and of course, you

650
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: know we've had our fund with the animal rights activists

651
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: over the course of this program's tenure. Liberal rock star

652
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: Chrissy Hind shocked her fans by praising Trump for honoring

653
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: the conservative for radio icon Rush Limbaugh, saying her father

654
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: would have been so delighted. Chrissy Hind, the lead singer

655
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: The Pretenders, wrote an open letter to Trump on Twitter

656
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: yesterday in which she says her late father, Melville, would

657
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: have enjoyed his presidency. Said Melville, known as Bud, was

658
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: a huge fan of Limbaugh, who has given the Presidential

659
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom after he announced he had advanced lung cancer.

660
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: But she admitted she didn't always see eye to eye

661
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: with her father, and they argued a lot, but that

662
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 1: was okay. We didn't cut each other's heads off. Isn't

663
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: that what being an American is all about? So I

664
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: wanted to let you hear the actual song here. This

665
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: is the open, and I think in the open, if

666
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: my memory serves, it runs twenty four seconds, so we've

667
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: looped it to make it run about a minute to

668
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: handle the show open. I'm gonna pay the whole thing here,

669
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: but I want you to hear the song that she

670
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: made famous, My City Was Gone. It's about where she

671
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: grew up in Ohio. As you will hear the lyric

672
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: line unfortunate. I went back to O but my city

673
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: was gone. There was no trainstension, there was no doubt.

674
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: Time some kind of disappeared. All my favorite places. I

675
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: see a big bull down, reduced to again listen to

676
00:44:49,080 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: go to OHI. So I just wanted to play a

677
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: portion of the song, let you know where it comes from,

678
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: and to thank Chrissie Hyne for her comments and the

679
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: Daily Mail Today story runs today. Her open letter to

680
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: Trump is actually asking for some leniency for Juliana songs

681
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: as well, but she points out how her dad would

682
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: have loved Trump, and she very much would have a

683
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: love for her father to have been alive during Trump's

684
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: administration and to have seen me get the Distinguished Presidential

685
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom. Our studios are right across the hall

686
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: at the time, but I was not. We had moved

687
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: out of there. I think we'd moved down to Florida

688
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: time this had happened. So I I've never met. She

689
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: was married Ray Davies of the Kinks for a while

690
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: and then some other guys. She's lived in London most

691
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: of her life. But I wanted to call attention, thank

692
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 1: her very much for this. It's very nice, beautiful. Now

693
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: you may have heard that segment when it happened, or

694
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: you might be hearing it for the first time now,

695
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: maybe you missed it. But what is so remarkable about

696
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: that is Rush sums up Americana better than anybody, and

697
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,959
Speaker 1: he always did. And this is why you hear those

698
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: stories over and over from people throughout the years that

699
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: would call and I heard the stories from friends of

700
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: mine because I started out as a listener, I still

701
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: am I will continue to be. You hear those stories

702
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: of oh, you know you ought to listen to Rush Limba.

703
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's a blankety blank blank blankety blankety blank.

704
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: And so many people don't read the book, or they

705
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, or they don't do the

706
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: research because they rely on the news or they rely

707
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: on another source. When you go directly to the source

708
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: with Rush, you find out not only is he a

709
00:46:53,800 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: gracious person, but he appreciates people who are gracious and

710
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: classy and people that appreciate their family regardless of their

711
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: political alignment. And Chrissy Hind was such a great example

712
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: of that, and what a gracious woman. Also, her voice

713
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: is awesome But what a gracious woman to do to

714
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: write that. Do you know the heat she must have

715
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: took for that, because there's so many people without spines

716
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: in entertainment. But I gotta tell you there's a couple

717
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: other people like that too, that are outspoken right now

718
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: about a lot of things going on. I'll name a couple,

719
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: and it's ironic because they're from the same generation. Eric Clapton,

720
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: Gene Simmons. These are outspoken people that because of maybe

721
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,959
Speaker 1: their industry, their impression, their music, the first impression they make,

722
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: and the way the media covers them when they come

723
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: out with something like that, leftists are raged, but common

724
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: sense people go, oh, Rush is right. We don't have

725
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: to key someone's car if they have a trump sticker.

726
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: No you don't. And I just thought when I first

727
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: heard it, when Rush explained it, and I heard the

728
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: segment before back in the day, Chrissy Hindes was so

729
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: classy at the very beginning, remember the very beginning of

730
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: the controversy. Think about that, and she said it, and

731
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: then Rush echoed it. That's what America is. That is whatnot,

732
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: that's what is not being taught in schools now. That's

733
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: why so many of us. Our hearts are broken because

734
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: of things like critical race theory and this rewriting history,

735
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: and this indoctrination, indoctrination, and this banning. We're gonna ban this,

736
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna take down this statue. It's so sad because

737
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: somebody like Chrissy Hind, maybe you should sit down and

738
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: talk with her, or an Eric Clapton or other maybe

739
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: perceived liberals or moderates. But when she came out and said,

740
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: this is what America's about. My dad loved Rush and

741
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: he would have loved Trump. And we disagree, and I

742
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: might disagree with Rush, or it doesn't have to be

743
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: that way. We've just been brainwashed by the people that

744
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: need us to go at each other's throats, our leaders. Sadly,

745
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: there's no way Biden winds, there's no way the left

746
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: winds is long as Americans keep communicating with each other.

747
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: If we the people keep communicating, we're all good. Because

748
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: most of us are good. That's why they're censoring us.

749
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 1: Because when you sit down Chrissy Hind, or you sit

750
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 1: down with Rush Limbaugh, or you sit down with your

751
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: neighbor who doesn't agree with you, you realize most of

752
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, you agree on, and then you

753
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: walk away, just like people walk away from the first

754
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: time they hear Trump or this speak, or the first

755
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: time they listened to the Rush Show, and they go, wow,

756
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: I never I never heard that side of him. That's

757
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: because you have to. You have to listen. We'll be

758
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: right back The Rush Limbaugh Show Open Line Friday, the

759
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: Final Open Line Friday. My name's Ken Matthews. I'm your

760
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: guide host today. And one more thing about Chrissy Hind

761
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: and that whole thing that Rush just described, and I

762
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: just thought it was such a great example of how

763
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: most of America works. But people who want power cannot

764
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: allow you to see that, and people who run most

765
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: major news media opts cannot allow you to see that,

766
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: because then how would there be news? I mean, what's

767
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: better on the news a bunch of people breaking stuff

768
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: and beating each other up or a bunch of the

769
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: oddest combination of people getting along and laughing. I mean,

770
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: what sells of a very diverse group of people on

771
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: the subway laughing and getting along or one group beating

772
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: another senseless? What's better in the news? What do you

773
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: think works, What do you think easier to control and

774
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: during the commercial break, I brought up Elton John with

775
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 1: one of our team members here, Ali, and we were

776
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, because Rush had Elton John sing

777
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: at his wedding. He invited Elton John to sing at

778
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: his wedding, and Elton johns sang at his wedding, and

779
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: the garbage and the attacks that Elton John got from

780
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:57,240
Speaker 1: everybody except conservatives would amaze you. It's if you remember

781
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: that time, it was increa credible. In other words, As

782
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: a Rush listener, I was like, oh man, that is

783
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: so awesome. He's got Elton John saying at his wedding.

784
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: But the but the liberals were like, how dare Elton

785
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: John a gay artist? How day? And it's just the

786
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: absurdity of it all. And then you find out and

787
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: I did not go to the wedding. I didn't even

788
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: know that existed at the time until it came out

789
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: in the media. But you find out from people at

790
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: the wedding. Elton John was so gracious and he said,

791
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: I feel nothing but love here. You know, there's a

792
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: lot of people that you know, trash trash Rush, and

793
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: they don't even know him, and that, I mean, that

794
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: is something that bo Snirtling, and I talked about this

795
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: more than once that it's just such a shame that

796
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: if somebody who fell into something like Barack Obama just

797
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: kept falling into successes and falling into successes, and yet

798
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: he could he could trash Rush Limbaugh, or somebody in

799
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: the Senate could trash Rush Limball, and that's all a

800
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of people need to make their decision. But I

801
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: thought that was the coolest thing in the world. Because

802
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: I grew up with Elton John. I think I might

803
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: still have his first first record anyway, that is that's

804
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: another wonderful example. Look at the people who attack people

805
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: who don't agree with them. See, that's why we had

806
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: a caller last hour said, how do you think things

807
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: are going to unfold? And I said, I think people

808
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: are waking up. They're realizing that sometimes you sit down.

809
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever sat down on a plane or a

810
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: bus and you have a wonderful conversation with somebody, politics

811
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: never come up, And then at the end of the

812
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: conversation you say, oh, by the way, you know people

813
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: don't talking about politics, but it's an election er who

814
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: you're voting for, and they tell you when you're shocked

815
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, oh my god, they totally don't agree

816
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: with me politically, but we just had a great conversation. Well,

817
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:16,720
Speaker 1: people that lead, like Joe Biden leads, cannot have that happen.

818
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: As much as they talk about it, they cannot have

819
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: it happen. They talk about let's bring people together. But

820
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 1: if you don't have leadership skills, and very few liberals do,

821
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: you have to lead by another way. You have to

822
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 1: lead by fear, intimidation, anxiety, power, manipulation. You can't say

823
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: let's get everybody into one room and let's throw some

824
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: ideas around. Remember Obama used to say that we're gonna

825
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: have a big baby. I'm gonna hear from everybody. I'm

826
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: gonna reach across the eye, every single person I know

827
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 1: in Washington, and I probably know more than most because

828
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: of the business I'm in. They all say yeah, he

829
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: goes on He goes on camera and says, I'm going

830
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: to reach out to the Republicans. And then the Republicans

831
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 1: they see that press conference, they go, oh my god,

832
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,240
Speaker 1: that's great, mister president. Get out of here. I'm president,

833
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: You're not so More and more people are understanding this

834
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: about the liberal dynamic. You join the liberal herd. You

835
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: do what you're told, or they'll be held to pay.

836
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: Whether you're Elton John or Eric Clapton or Chrissy Hine

837
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: or any number of people. If you're Bill Maher, who

838
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: every now and then comes out with brilliance. And I

839
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: watch Bill Maher. I have a love hate relationship with

840
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: that show because I'm not a fan of most of

841
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: what comes out of his mouth, but every now and

842
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: then he nails it. And who are the first people

843
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: to go after him? The liberals. It's incredible. And if

844
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: I learned anything from Rush Limbaugh as a student of

845
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: the Limball Institute and as a listener for decades, that

846
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: is the message I learned. Because Rush loved music. He

847
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: started in music, he loved sports, and he could swim.

848
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: He could swim in those rivers and get along with everybody.

849
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: And what I learned from Rush in my twenties, I learned,

850
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you could be that strident and that optimistic,

851
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: and that's sure footed and successful. But if you're a

852
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: gracious gentleman, you could get along with anybody. Chrissy Hines,

853
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: Elton John at your wedding. See that's something that unfortunately

854
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: the left doesn't want getting out. That's why there's so

855
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: many people leaving the left right now. You want to

856
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: know why the Democrat Party shrinking, even though Don Lemon disagrees,

857
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: is because they've had it with the burning and the

858
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: protesting and the destroying and the rioting and the screaming

859
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: and the banning and the censorship. So that, to me

860
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest takeaways from the Rush Limbaugh legacy.

861
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: I never really expounded on it, but now I'm thinking

862
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: of it. I'm getting melancholy, and I need to get

863
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: my focus back on because we have a show to do.

864
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: But to me, that was the biggest takeaway. You could

865
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: be Rush Limbaugh and get along with anybody. Well, it's

866
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: hard to believe. It's the final edition of this from

867
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: New York City. It's open one Friday and the number

868
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: is eight hundred two eight two twenty eight eighty two

869
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: Open line Friday on the EIB Network, The Rush Limbaugh Show.

870
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. El Paso, Texas. This is

871
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Ryan, and you're on the EIB network. Welcome. So,

872
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: so I'm a father. I've got four children and my

873
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: three youngest ones that took them to the park This

874
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: was about a week ago and I overheard a conversation

875
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: about several different groups from you know, going on between

876
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: several different groups of kids, and it was basically about

877
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: critical race theory. There were some disagreements and a fight

878
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: broke out and so unfortunately, yes, so were they talking

879
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: about like the curriculum like they don't want to do

880
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: it or hear it, or were they just using what

881
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: sadly they were taught from critical race theory. I want

882
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: to say it had to do with what they were taught,

883
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: because it got based. Bottom line is, you know, one

884
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: race was telling another race their lives are worth more.

885
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: And then unfortunately, you know, some Hispanic kids spoke up

886
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: and defended some of the white kids that were there

887
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: and said, no, everybody's life matters, and well, you know

888
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: the black kids that were there, they didn't like and

889
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: they picked a fight. Now, these are children ranging from

890
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, eight nine years old all the way to fourteen,

891
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: and a fight actually broke out over this, and I

892
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: just think it's absolutely disgusting. It's sad what our schools

893
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: are teaching our children. It's dividing our kids and we

894
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: don't need that. You know, it's hard breaking he is distinguished.

895
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: It's very heartbreaking. And you know, I had my three

896
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: little ones, my my three youngest ones there and I

897
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: mean my wife is Hispanic, I'm white. My kids. There's

898
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: times where you know, people honestly don't believe they're her

899
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: kids if they did come out of her. And I

900
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: think that happens as you know, there was a time

901
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: we were at the hospital and the nurses wanted to

902
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: kick her out because they didn't believe she was actually

903
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: the mother. And this was during COVID just left and

904
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: sheet she got into it with them, and I mean

905
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: another nurse stepped in and was like, yeah, no, she

906
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: she can stay. But you know, it's just what's getting

907
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: taught is absolutely disgusting. There's no reason to be dividing

908
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: our children as such young ages. You know, well, sadly, sadly,

909
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: people on the left, Ryan, this is by design. Some

910
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: people on the left are planning this. This is right

911
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: out of Marx. This is Karl Marx. You saw Marxism

912
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: taking place on the playground. The young mind, not nearly developed,

913
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: unable to make decisions for itself, and then they take

914
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: that brainwashing or mind control, much of which resides at

915
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: the news networks and then they're fighting. Now, imagine how

916
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: easy those people are going to be to control. Think

917
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: about the control a Democrat party can have over a

918
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: bunch of voters and young people that feel that way

919
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: and understand this has been going on for years. It

920
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: wasn't until President Obama came came in and he fine

921
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: tuned the process. He said, you know, if we could,

922
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: if we could get this Marxist garbage, you know, in

923
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 1: law enforcement, in academia, in Hollywood, if we can just

924
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: get this so people believe its mainstream, we won't even

925
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: have to recruit voters because by the time they're twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

926
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: they will already have developed their hatred for a particular color,

927
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: or someone who's wealthy, or someone who's not like them.

928
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: This is being taught, and Ryan nailed it. You could

929
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: hear in his voice this and it is being taught.

930
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: And as a parent, that's why this critical race theory.

931
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Thank god my kids are My youngest has one more

932
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: year in high school. But thank god, that's that's the end,

933
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: because I don't know if I could control myself at

934
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: school board meetings. And I'm so proud of these men

935
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: and women that are going to all these school board

936
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: meetings across the country. And it's so funny, because we

937
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier in the week. The news media

938
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: is trying to downplay it. They're trying to pretend that,

939
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, there's four right wing wackos in America and

940
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: they're trying to they're trying to pick on teachers and

941
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the teachers Union. No, no, there's millions and millions of

942
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: us that now know you're full of crap. And the

943
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: only reason you might not think there's a lot of

944
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: it is because your news editor doesn't send you out

945
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: there unless it's what he thinks it is. That's why.

946
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: But if you start going around to every school district

947
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: at random, Blue state, red state, Green state, you'll find

948
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: out that parents have taken control and they're done with

949
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: their kids coming home saying Mommy, I know I'm a boy,

950
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: but I want to be a woman tomorrow. They're done

951
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: with that garbage. It's garbage, it's ridiculous, and I believe

952
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: it's child abuse. I think when you confuse young people

953
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: instead of just shutting up and keeping your political agenda

954
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: to yourself, let the eight year old make it to

955
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: age eighteen, when he's an adult, and maybe then you

956
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: can talk about some of your stupidity, like the sixteen

957
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: nineteen project. Give me a break. This is absurdity. But

958
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I have to tell you because I know there's people.

959
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I see the messages, I see the notes, and they're

960
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: so gracious and complimentary, and they wonder, you know, what's

961
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: going to happen, you know, with the Trump thing and conservatism.

962
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I think it's only going to get better. I really

963
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: do what I see among parents and Americans, the way

964
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: they think about how the conservative movement has behaved over

965
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: the last several years, despite the attacks. Think about it.

966
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I am amazed that parents go to these pta meetings

967
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: and it's peaceful. Now the teachers don't think it's peaceful.

968
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: We played a sound bite earlier this week when there

969
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: was this heated discussion and the teacher and we all

970
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: have a liberal friend like this. Don't we all have

971
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: a liberal friend like this? It says, you say look,

972
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: and they go, look, I am not going to have

973
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: this with you. This is very violent. We can peacefully

974
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: talk about this, but you know, as long as you're

975
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: in this state of and that's another game the left plays.

976
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: It's another way to shut you down and shut you up.

977
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: According to the left, you're allowed to speak in the

978
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: words they allot you and the mood they permit you.

979
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, that's not the constitution. There is an

980
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: American awakening taking place right now, and it is going

981
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: to light people on fire figuratively with conservatism because they're

982
01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: going to realize, wait a minute, you mean they didn't

983
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: have the right to do that. Exactly, you pay the

984
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: teacher's salary. And that is the great awakening that I

985
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: hear in all these meetings. I've seen about fifty different

986
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: PTA meetings from around the country, including in Pennsylvania. So

987
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,479
Speaker 1: this is not a one off. This is not one

988
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: you right wing guy with a gun rack that says

989
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: you're not teaching my kids about this. No, America is

990
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: starting to realize, whether it's taking place in a private

991
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: school in New York and Megan Kelly calls attention to it,

992
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: or Houston, Texas, or Florida, wherever, and that's the message

993
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: that we need to share with we the people. And

994
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: there's also an awakening in corporate America. There was a

995
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: time when people would be terrified, but more and more

996
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: people in corporate America are saying, you know, this particular

997
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: company or that particular company is way too woke for me.

998
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it's time for a change, or as we saw recently,

999
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: whistle blowers coming out and saying this is enough. Look

1000
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: at what's going on at CNN. Every month there's a

1001
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: defector that says, I don't know if I want to

1002
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: be on team Marxism anymore. So this is all very,

1003
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: very exciting. But Ryan is one of millions of parents.

1004
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: He's not a one off. And kids, as you know,

1005
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: there's so many great parents in this audience. Kids will

1006
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: get along with anybody. They will play with a tree trunk.

1007
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Then you know that one of the neatest moments in

1008
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: my little guy's life. He came home and he had

1009
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: this particular young man and he would talk about him

1010
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: all the time, all the time, all the time. And

1011
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 1: I did not know this young man was African American

1012
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: until I met him. My son had been talking about

1013
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: him for months. Oh my gosh, he said this, and

1014
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: then and then he said this, and then we did that,

1015
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: and we're doing this project together, and went on and on,

1016
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: and I thought, okay, so I'm finally gonna meet him,

1017
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: And I thought that is the greatness of America. Look

1018
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: how far we've come. You can go through a conversation

1019
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: for months without even mentioning someone's skin color or socioeconomic position.

1020
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: The only way it happens is if the teachers step

1021
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: in and tell you you need to be hyper aware

1022
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: of it. Now, timmy's this color, so remember you need

1023
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: to feel guilty, or Timmy's gonna be hurt because your

1024
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: daddy did this. Sometimes teachers in the news media just

1025
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: need to shut up. You're doing more harm than good.

1026
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm Ken Matthews will be right back. Here's a great

1027
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: example of woke in political correctness, tearing cities apart and

1028
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: hurting the safety of law abiding citizens and Americans in Portland, Oregon.

1029
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: And you know what's going on there. They had riots

1030
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: for like forty days in a row. They riot for

1031
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: any reason. They riot even when they get they get

1032
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: their way. Well, there was an officer in Portland, Oregon,

1033
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:26,600
Speaker 1: officer Corey Budworth, and he was was he let me

1034
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: see what he was. He was in trouble because they

1035
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 1: say he assaulted a I don't know if it was

1036
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 1: a member of the press or whatever. And so the

1037
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: entire rapid response team resigned because the team voted unanimously

1038
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 1: to disband. What happened is they have there the DA there,

1039
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: just like the DA and Philadelphia and around on their

1040
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: blue cities. They're social justice warriors. So any opportunity they

1041
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 1: can take a shot at a cop figuratively and take

1042
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 1: him down. And if you get a whiny member of

1043
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:15,839
Speaker 1: the press and a whiney DA, who's mister social justice warrior.

1044
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: This is what's been happening to police departments all over

1045
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: the country. So they all stood in unity and they stopped.

1046
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 1: The Rapid Response Team is a group of volunteer officers

1047
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: who respond to civil disobedience, demonstrations and riots. And they said,

1048
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 1: all right, we're done. We're done because you charged a

1049
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: member of our team with assault for actions during the riot.

1050
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: So imagine you're a police officer, you're being they're coming

1051
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: at you from every angle, and you defend yourself and

1052
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,879
Speaker 1: you get charged with us all. So that's what's happening.

1053
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig was asked this warning

1054
01:09:55,600 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: if he was surprised by the Portland Police Rapid Response Team.

1055
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: Not a surprise. In fact, I'm surprised it's taken this long,

1056
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, fail leadership. And I don't even like to

1057
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: associate someone who sits in the seat of a mayor

1058
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: with leadership, but a seat of influence. And what we

1059
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: saw in Portland as an example, when you don't support

1060
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: the men and women who do that difficult job each

1061
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: and every day, those police officers demoralize, they have no support,

1062
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: and the people that suffer are the people who live

1063
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: in the city, the people who have businesses in the city,

1064
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: and they just can't seem to get it right. So

1065
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: for me, not a surprise, a surprise. It took this long,

1066
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 1: and it's sad because, as I said, he was charged

1067
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: with a salt. But social justice warriors redefine everything. So

1068
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: you're swinging a baseball bat at a cop and maybe

1069
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: he punches you and puts you down, the cop gets

1070
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: charged with a salt. I mean, this is the absurdity

1071
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: of liberalism. It changes everything around and this is why

1072
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: you have so many law enforcement officials across the country

1073
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 1: that are taking early retirement now. Tuesday, in Portland, Oregon

1074
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: on Katu News, Portland Police Association executive director Darryl Turner

1075
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: said this about the district attorney. My chart JENNI from

1076
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: the very beginning was to indict a police officer. He

1077
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: was looking for an opportunity to do it. So this

1078
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 1: is exactly correct. He was looking for an opportunity. And

1079
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,759
Speaker 1: that is what the military is dealing with right now,

1080
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: and law enforcement is dealing with this as well. You

1081
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: have people in power, people in charge, you know them.

1082
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: If you're in a blue city, maybe you have some

1083
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: Even in a red state, they're trying to push blue.

1084
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,759
Speaker 1: Look at Houston, look at Austin, Texas. I mean, Austin

1085
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: has just turned into a disaster as far as leadership,

1086
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: but they look for that opportunity. Now. It's hard enough

1087
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: being in law enforcement without having to worry, well, if

1088
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: I defend myself too strong, I might get charged, or

1089
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: if I try to push back on the people that

1090
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: are throwing bricks at me. One of the biggest con

1091
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: jobs I saw was the news media. Somebody was on

1092
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: some panel. Usually there's a panel on CNN. It's like

1093
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: eight people that all agree and then they all go

1094
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: out a happy hour after whatever, and somebody said, you know,

1095
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe these police are actually pushing back on

1096
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: protesters just because they're having water bottles thrown at them,

1097
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 1: but they leave out the part that the water bottles

1098
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: are frozen. You see, that's how you can get into

1099
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: a secure area as a protester and have something hard

1100
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: to throw at a police officer without having rocks or

1101
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,839
Speaker 1: other weapons. So's there's either this is either being ignored

1102
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: or it's a level of ignorance. But when an entire

1103
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 1: unit says all right, we're done, that hurts you and me.

1104
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: That hurts law abiding citizens, and that's something we need

1105
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: to be hyper aware of, especially under the Biden regime. Now,

1106
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: Rush introduced many great services to us, one of them

1107
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: being from Legacy Box. This is a company that wants

1108
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: all of your old videotapes and family films, but only

1109
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: for two weeks time. That's it, that's all they need,

1110
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: that's all the time they need, and they convert them

1111
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: to digital files. You can watch them again and again,

1112
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 1: you can share them with family. Listen to the way

1113
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: Rush describes this. Some of the most priceless moments that

1114
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:35,799
Speaker 1: your family has experienced and recorded are probably stored away

1115
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: on old videotapes and movies that you likely haven't been

1116
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: able to watch in years because you don't have a

1117
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Super eight projector. You don't have a Beta Max or

1118
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: VHS video player anymore is too old. Technology has moved

1119
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: forward so fast. Long ago, you threw away the VHS player,

1120
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: You got rid of your Beta Max VCR, you threw

1121
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 1: away the film projector of Super eight. So if you

1122
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: want to see that old media, you're going to invest

1123
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 1: in all kinds of technology to digitize all that videotape

1124
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:06,879
Speaker 1: and let film. And you don't have to do that anymore.

1125
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: Legacy Box can do it for you. Legacy Box has

1126
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: digitized old media for more than a million American families.

1127
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: Just get in touch with them on their website, order

1128
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: a box. They'll send you the box. It's it's built

1129
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 1: so that whatever you put in it is protected from

1130
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: being damaged. You put all of the old media that

1131
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: you have in that box. You ship it overnight their expense.

1132
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 1: They go to work digitizing every tape, every picture, every film,

1133
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: every slide, every cassette tape. Everything you send them, they

1134
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: will digitize. They'll put it on a DVD, they will

1135
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: put it on a thumb drive, they'll put it on

1136
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: a downloadable file on the cloud. However you want it.

Speaker 1: Limbaugh Program. Stick around Hour three, the final edition of

1142
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:16,719
Speaker 1: open Line Friday on the Rush Limbaugh Program. I'm thrilled

1143
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: that you're here. Exciting things happening as you know. I

1144
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: reminded you of last hour. Don't forget Rush twenty four

1145
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 1: seven is still available and the body of work in

1146
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: that is incredible. I remember, everybody knows Rush broke the

1147
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: mold and a leader, a friend, someone who stood up

1148
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: to powers and spoke not only what we thought, but

1149
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,759
Speaker 1: spoke his mind. And so often it was common sense

1150
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: that resonated within our own brain. I remember being at

1151
01:15:55,520 --> 01:16:00,680
Speaker 1: North Carolina State University in the early eighties. There was

1152
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:06,600
Speaker 1: no Internet, and the excitement would be when a cohort

1153
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: of mine or some of us would get together. We'd

1154
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: hop in my Ford escort and we'd rock and roll

1155
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: up to the markets along the coast, and during that

1156
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: time we would listen to different broadcasters, and then once

1157
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Rush came on the scene, then the quest was, how

1158
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: do we find a market or a station where Rush is,

1159
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: and that actually would be a question because oh, yeah,

1160
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: you want to go to Richmond or what how do

1161
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 1: we want to drive? Well, wherever we're going, make sure

1162
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 1: that from noon to three we're hearing Rush. So in

1163
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: the early nineties, that was the travel thing because again,

1164
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: you didn't have the ability that you have now. Too.

1165
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard to explain to the young. Listen

1166
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 1: to me, I sound like I'm ninety young children, but

1167
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,759
Speaker 1: people who are twenty, they how do they imagine life

1168
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 1: without a phone where you can just tune in? And

1169
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: all I remember is people saying, oh, I can't believe

1170
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: he said that. Can you believe he said that? Oh

1171
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 1: my gosh. Sometimes it would be on a cassette. We

1172
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,919
Speaker 1: rewind it. It was crazy. That's how long a legacy

1173
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: of thirty three years in radio is. You go back

1174
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: to cassettes and forty five still being played and left

1175
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 1: over eight tracks in that one uncle's car that you know,

1176
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: twenty six million listeners around the radio each month, And

1177
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: think about this. It was only a few years ago

1178
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: that Rush introduced Rush limbaugh dot com. And then you

1179
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: didn't you didn't even have to leave the couch if

1180
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: you wanted to listen, or you could secretly listen to

1181
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: Rush in your cubicle surrounded by liberals. You could be

1182
01:17:55,479 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: an enemy territory, but your brain was safe because of

1183
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: Rush limbaugh dot com and very cool stuff. In fact,

1184
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: here's rush. I have not talked about this publicly, a

1185
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: new feature that we've added to the website Rush limbaughd

1186
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: dot com. But it's called meat Rush, and it's for

1187
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 1: members only. But this is not a sales pitch. This

1188
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: is essentially a heartfelt thank you. You click on meat

1189
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 1: Rush and you are taken to a page where you can,

1190
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: in two hundred words or less, you can write whatever

1191
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: you want to ask me in two hundred words of

1192
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: the Wes tell us a little bit about you, a

1193
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: little bit about your life, and why you should be

1194
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: the pick of the week. We pick some and we

1195
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: get hold of you. We establish a video connection with you,

1196
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: and we interview you, and we learn from you what

1197
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: it is you like about the program, what the program

1198
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: is meant to you, and so forth, and if you

1199
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 1: have any questions for me that I then answer. But

1200
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: we went through some of the questions last night that

1201
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: people are asking, and I was blown away. You people

1202
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: that are participating in this are asking me better questions

1203
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: than any journalist I have ever sat for an interview.

1204
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 1: You are asking questions that indicate you are totally invested

1205
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: in this program. I mean the detail in the questions

1206
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: and your comments about the program, but specifically the questions

1207
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: that you are asking me illustrate just how long you've listened,

1208
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: and how closely you've listened, and how a where you are.

1209
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: It blew me away last night as we're reviewing some

1210
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: of these questions, and many of them personal, but not

1211
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 1: prying personal. They were personal in the sense that you're

1212
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 1: concerned about me and my well being and how I

1213
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: bear up under hostile attack and so forth. And I

1214
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: loved answering every question. There wasn't a single series of

1215
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: questions that I said, skip it, don't want to go there.

1216
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: If those of you that we are contacting and establishing

1217
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: these video conferences, if you got through on open line Friday,

1218
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: it would be one of the best open line Fridays

1219
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: we've ever had. The questions were that good you were

1220
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: The questions enable me to explain or answer things about

1221
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: myself that I would never volunteer out of the blue

1222
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: simply because it it would not seem appropriate, but when

1223
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: answering questions about these or these specific questions, it's easy

1224
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: as pie and makes total sense. So I just wanted

1225
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: to take a moment here to thank all of you

1226
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: who are participating in this. It is mind boggling to

1227
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: me to find out and learn just how closely and

1228
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: frequently and often you listen to this program and how

1229
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: much of it you remember it was. It's one of

1230
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: the most validating things that we've ever done, and it

1231
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: was all started simply to establish an even further connection

1232
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,720
Speaker 1: between me and you in the audience. I'm telling you,

1233
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: people are blowing my mind in the most upbeat and

1234
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: positive way with what you do for a living and

1235
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: how you incorporate listening to the radio show in your

1236
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 1: work day, in your leisure time. It's invaluable to know

1237
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: and learn and it is just heartwarming and touching to

1238
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: hear it. At the same time, Rush was such a

1239
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: techno wizard, and you know, with the iPhone, and then

1240
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: when the website came along, it was just it was incredible.

1241
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: It's the best radio website out there and it's awesome

1242
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: and Rush Limbaugh dot com it's going to continue Rush

1243
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 1: twenty four seven, but what excited him most, and he

1244
01:21:57,479 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: would tell us this, and he would tell the team this,

1245
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: all these other ways to connect. So here's a person

1246
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: who spanned over three decades and yet stayed ahead on

1247
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:15,600
Speaker 1: the technology. So he was always finding that way to

1248
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,720
Speaker 1: communicate with you and hear from you and talk to you.

1249
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two twenty eight eighty two. The final hour, Yes,

1250
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of bittersweet, the final hour of the Russia

1251
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: Limbos Show and Open Line Friday. Here's Ed Fenwick Michigan

1252
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: high Ed, you're on the EIB network. I can hey

1253
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 1: forever dittos. And the reason I say that is that

1254
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of people who thought that maybe

1255
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: with Russa's Rush's passing, and yes, even today's final episode

1256
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: of Open Line Friday, that it was marking in an

1257
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: end of conservatism. And I'm here to tell you that's

1258
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: not the case. The silent majority of Americans still exist

1259
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: and will continue to be a force that shapes of

1260
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: America's values in future. Well, how does that happen? You know?

1261
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, how do all of us in the side

1262
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: of the majority make that happen? I mean, I get

1263
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: people telling me what we've already lost because of this

1264
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: last election and some of the things that's going on.

1265
01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: And no, no, that's not that's not true, and it

1266
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be. So if you value what America

1267
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: is and what it's been to the rest of the

1268
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: world and to your children and your grandchildren of it,

1269
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to get out there. And then

1270
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: you allude to earlier, be involved with the city council

1271
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 1: at least go to the meetings. If you can't run

1272
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: for office, school boards, critical, critical, and your state and

1273
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,759
Speaker 1: local government jobs and stuff on the meetings and stuff

1274
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: on a town hall meeting, stuff on, be involved with them.

1275
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Those will cost you anything. And if you physically can't

1276
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 1: do that, then donate to the causes and stuff that are,

1277
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, and support the businesses and stuff to support

1278
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: this conservative effort and stuff on it. This will not

1279
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: go away and we will not go away. And you

1280
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 1: know I'm here to tell you that. Yeah, the Travis

1281
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: and Section show that's starting next week, and other orators

1282
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,799
Speaker 1: of the conservative view that backs the Hannities, the Pegs,

1283
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: Dan Bungeo, they're all stepping up their game. And I'm

1284
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: challenging all you sound a majority of people such as

1285
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: myself to step up your game too, and then we

1286
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,640
Speaker 1: can be that difference. I want to thank you for

1287
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:20,719
Speaker 1: such a powerful message. That's why RUSH think so highly

1288
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: of you and millions of other people in this country.

1289
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: The power of we the people, and that's where you

1290
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: get the analysis and the energy and the role modeling.

1291
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 1: It comes from we the people. It's not in the TV,

1292
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: it's not in the media. It's we the people. Were

1293
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 1: surrounded by role models what ed set about the build

1294
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 1: of the PTA meetings and stuff. If you need an example,

1295
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: just Google or find a search engine that's not biased.

1296
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 1: And they're out there. I just don't want to promote

1297
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: them now, but they're out there. You'll find them and

1298
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: search for parents fed up with critical race theory at

1299
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: PTA meeting and you'll find hundreds of examples of how

1300
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 1: to do it. And when you go to those meetings,

1301
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,680
Speaker 1: you have a legal right to videotape them. Oh yes,

1302
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: you do. So maybe you're the only one that wants

1303
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: to go, So you go, you sit there, you record

1304
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: it on your phone, and then trust me, when you

1305
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 1: show it to your neighbors, they're going to say, what

1306
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: in the heck where did you get this. This has

1307
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 1: been going on. It's truly an awakening. And I'm glad mentioned.

1308
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad I had mentioned because there's so many things

1309
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 1: that are continuing on Monday. And keep in mind that

1310
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck have been inspired by Rush just as

1311
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 1: you have, but just as a lot of us in

1312
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: broadcasting have. So same time, same station, and again it's

1313
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: that place you can tune in if you are frustrated.

1314
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 1: Maybe you caught some news, you were at the doctor's

1315
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 1: office and they were playing Good Morning America, and you

1316
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: left and you were all confused. Then you know, on

1317
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: your way home, you can tune in at noon, come

1318
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:13,680
Speaker 1: back to reality and here Rush foundational principles and continue

1319
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: that conservative momentum. I'm Ken Matthews, will be right back.

1320
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: Oh hello there, it's the last hour of the last

1321
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 1: open Line Friday. My name is Ken Matthews. I'm your

1322
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:30,720

01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 1: is Frank Frank. You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Hey, Ken,

1324
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: missus your coscreen, womy go fast. Um. When when Rush

1325
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,719
Speaker 1: did his Rush to Excellence tours, you know, in eighty

1326
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 1: eight eighty nine Here in uh La South in California.

1327
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 1: I went to a Russia Excellence tour. After Rush was done.

1328
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 1: We I got into a conversation with them, and because

1329
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: we knew from from his radio showed he was a

1330
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: big fan of William F. Buckley Junior, started talking to

1331
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: him about that and we did it. He started to

1332
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: do invitations with me, William F. Buckley Junior, and it

1333
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 1: was a blast blast. Yeah. He really admired him. Yeah,

1334
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: I know, and he liked when he discovered when I

1335
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 1: told him I could do an invitation of him, he weep.

1336
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: He started doing the invitation of Buckley and we did

1337
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: it for about five six seven minutes. Rush was a

1338
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: great guy. Man. I'm envisioning that now. I'm envisioning that now.

1339
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 1: Now I understand you're still a fan obviously, and you

1340
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 1: uh now tell us, are you incorporating uh these Russisms

1341
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: into any other parts of your life? Yes, yes, I

1342
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 1: tell um. When I in nineteen eighty eight, I graduated

1343
01:27:55,320 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: from medical school, became doctor, and I immediately a pipe

1344
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: rush into my waiting room. Uh you know all the time,

1345
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: and after about two to three years, for a total

1346
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 1: of twenty seven years, all of my client, all of

1347
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 1: my patients were work conservative. So basically you were converting

1348
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 1: your patients in the waiting room door. That's incredible. In

1349
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 1: the office complex. That's incredible. Well, Frank, thank you for

1350
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 1: your call. You painted a beautiful picture and your your

1351
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: pace was perfection. That's great. Eight hundred two eight two

1352
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight eighty two. And think about that for a moment.

1353
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: So this guy's been a doctor probably most of his life,

1354
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 1: and he starts piping it in the year Rush starts

1355
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: and this just continues it through his whole career. That

1356
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:03,760
Speaker 1: would weed out patients, though when you think about it,

1357
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,719
Speaker 1: and I think they'd be a lot smarter. They'd probably

1358
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: be awake. Imagine the effect You wouldn't have whiny liberals

1359
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: in your waiting room. That might be a good idea.

1360
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: You can do that with the Rush Limbaugh dot com

1361
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 1: or Rush twenty four seven. Maybe that's kind of a

1362
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: cool thing. Thanks for your call, Frank, that's great. Very quickly.

1363
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 1: I hate to bring up Hunter Biden because I know

1364
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: some of you might still be eating lunch. But I

1365
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 1: don't know if if this guy and this family could

1366
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 1: get any slimier. Okay, we got the crack pipe in

1367
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: the rental car. We got the handgun in the garbage bag,

1368
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 1: and then we got it covered up by the Secret

1369
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: Service and removed by the ex girlfriend who happened to

1370
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: be the dead brother's wife. Holy Shnike's. We got the stripper, baby,

1371
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: got the China money, We got the naked chicks on

1372
01:29:55,600 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 1: the hard drive with the crack pipe. But now, oh

1373
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 1: this is perfect. Now, as Jason Chevitz was talking about,

1374
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden has an art scam going. Do you know

1375
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,680
Speaker 1: how much people are willing to pay? Well, this is

1376
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: what he's selling it for. He does artwork. Hunter Biden

1377
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 1: is an artist. Did you know that? Yeah? Who isn't right?

1378
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden does these It looks like a bunch of

1379
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 1: little golf balls connected. It's some type of you use

1380
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 1: straws and I don't know the technique. Oh no, Actually,

1381
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:35,800
Speaker 1: someone just bought one of his paintings for five hundred

1382
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:42,559
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, Yes, five hundred thousand dollars. Art dealer George

1383
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 1: burg Bruge says the names of various buyers will be

1384
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: kept confidential. Well, I would keep those buyers confidential because

1385
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 1: one you're thinking, are you stupid? Or are you Chinese communist?

1386
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 1: Or or are you washing daddy's money. Did you know

1387
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: that the art world is one of the top money

1388
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 1: washing intersections for criminality. Oh yeah, because the value is

1389
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: in the eye of the beholder. This is not like

1390
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 1: bars of gold. It's Oh I think that's worth You know,

1391
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 1: I would use that as a doormat for my dog. Oh,

1392
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 1: I'd pay a million dollars for it. Well, great, because

1393
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 1: I've got a million bucks to wash. That is incredible.

1394
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:36,240
Speaker 1: Think for a second how convenient this arrangement is. Let's

1395
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: say you want to buy access to the leader of

1396
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,759
Speaker 1: the free world, even though now mister Biden is unable

1397
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 1: to make a complete sentence by himself. But let's say

1398
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 1: you wanted to access him or the people that are really,

1399
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: you know, pulling the trigger on everything, like Susan Rice

1400
01:31:56,680 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 1: or Barack Obama. How easy would it be to say, hey,

1401
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,599
Speaker 1: I just saw that drawing you did on the train. Hunter.

1402
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 1: It took about ten minutes. But I tell you what,

1403
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 1: I'll give you eight hundred grand if you could get

1404
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 1: me in to see your dad. Now, it's funny because

1405
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: Hunter did this before to get Chinese communist in to

1406
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 1: see his dad, who was then the vice president. How

1407
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:27,519
Speaker 1: about that? Yes, he did, and he didn't even have

1408
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 1: to paint anything. So this is a new career for him.

1409
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 1: So how long is it going to be before we

1410
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 1: find out the truth? I don't know, but I thought

1411
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: it was a gag. We were in the meeting and

1412
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: I saw this in the prep and I said, this

1413
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,719
Speaker 1: is a gag, right, Hunter Biden is selling his artwork

1414
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:49,360
Speaker 1: for five hundred thousand dollars, but people are already buying it.

1415
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 1: And of course you've got to keep those names confidential, confidential?

1416
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 1: Who would say that? Though? You invite him over and

1417
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:01,120
Speaker 1: you know what would happen. This is what would happen

1418
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: to my house. Someone would come over and they look

1419
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: it and go, that's interesting. Did one of your sons

1420
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:07,200
Speaker 1: do that? Or is that like a class project? What

1421
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 1: is that? What exactly happened there? And then you say, oh, no,

1422
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,280
Speaker 1: I paid six hundred and forty two thousand dollars for it.

1423
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 1: You know who did it? Yeah, the guy on the

1424
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 1: hard drive with the naked chicks and the drugs. Yes,

1425
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: the son of Joe Biden. Really did he sign? It's

1426
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: you cannot make it up. You can't make it up. Look,

1427
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I didn't vote for Joe Biden. So don't I'm just

1428
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: the messenger. Don't take it out on me. Do not

1429
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: take it out on me. Eight hundred two eight two,

1430
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight eighty two, half a million dollars. And you

1431
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 1: got to see the painting. Fox had a picture of it.

1432
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: Foxnews dot Com. Check it out. They have a picture

1433
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 1: of what he did. And you know what it does.

1434
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:56,960
Speaker 1: It looks it looks like a sheet pattern at Target.

1435
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:01,080
Speaker 1: That would be a cool pattern. Us loved music too.

1436
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: There's so many things about mister Limbaugh that he had

1437
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:12,400
Speaker 1: in common with us and you music or sports or whatever,

1438
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 1: animals or whatever, and that was a big thing. And

1439
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have a favorite bumper tune or music.

1440
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 1: It's interesting about this because so many talk show host

1441
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 1: over the years emulated that style. Somebody would say, well,

1442
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 1: what kind of show do you want to do? Maybe

1443
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: twenty years ago and you're not that guy Rush he

1444
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:35,680
Speaker 1: started at ABC, and are you know how he has

1445
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: a music thing. Well, let's do that music thing, that

1446
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:42,360
Speaker 1: bumper music thing. And that's why we started the Road

1447
01:34:42,439 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 1: Trip with Rush series. This is a collection of his

1448
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 1: music and commentary. And for our final one, here is

01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 1: It is a pop version of Mozart Symphony G minor.

1455
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:25,600
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of percussion in it, and I

1474
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 1: talking about Boz Scaggs in the Bumper Rotation. Here the

1475
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 1: greatest bumper music rotation in all of broadcasting, hosted by

1476
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:33,040

01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 1: Here the tune is called Patapan. I have a bit

1479
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 1: of an emotional attachment to it. It happened to be

1480
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 1: some of the first Christmas music by happenstance they have

1481
01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,080
Speaker 1: to be listening to upon the learning of the death

1482
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:03,680
Speaker 1: of my father, and I've had this emotional connection. It

1483
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: was on an airplane forty thousand feet looking out the window.

1484
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: I thought I was looking at heaven. Rush Limbaud taking

1485
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:21,719
Speaker 1: time always, no matter what is going on, to appreciate life,

1486
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 1: share it with you. He often said he was having

1487
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 1: more fun than a human being should be allowed to have,

1488
01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:33,120
Speaker 1: and you could tell he was because you can't say

1489
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: that unless it's happening. You can't do this for more

1490
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 1: than three decades unless what you say is true. Because

1491
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:53,360
Speaker 1: people are smart. Listeners are smart, Americans are smart. And

1492
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,560
Speaker 1: that's why Rush was so refreshing. Like what he just

1493
01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: said there about his dad. Back to the phone we

1494
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 1: go eight hundred two eight two twenty eight eighty two,

1495
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,479
Speaker 1: one of the final calls on Open Line Friday. Here's

1496
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 1: Chuck in Mobile, Alatabama. Welcome Chuck to the Rush Limbaugh Show. Yes, Hello,

1497
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: Forever dittos to Rush. I'm sure he's listening. I wanted

1498
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 1: to talk about living in Cape Girardo back in the

1499
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: nineties and I met Rush's grandfather. I was going to

1500
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: see a lawyer in the in the Limbaugh office building.

1501
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 1: I walked up to the elevator and there's an obviously

1502
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 1: elderly gentleman, Natalie dressed, chatting it up with a younger woman,

1503
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:52,320
Speaker 1: her arm full of look like legal files. So he was.

1504
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,759
Speaker 1: He was very engaging to her, and I said, gosh,

1505
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is Ruys's grandfather. About that time,

1506
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: he stuck his hand out and said, Hi, I'm I'm

1507
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. So we started talking, and of course I

1508
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:12,000
Speaker 1: was effusive about how big of a fan I was

1509
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 1: of Russia's and uh, I'll never forget he said, our

1510
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: boy Rush has certainly put us on the map here

1511
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:27,760
Speaker 1: in Cape and and you know it was it was

1512
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 1: so poignant because you could tell, Uh, mister Limbough was

1513
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: was so so proud of Rush. And at the same

1514
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: time it was like, man, has he ever put us

1515
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: on the map? Yeah, now that the whole world knows

1516
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 1: where he lived, but I'm sort of proud, Yeah I am, yeah, yeah,

1517
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 1: So I think he was one hundred and one. He

1518
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: was the oldest practicing attorney in the United States at

1519
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:04,880
Speaker 1: that time. Fast forward about four months somewhere in there,

1520
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 1: I walk up to the same elevator to see the

1521
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:14,000
Speaker 1: same attorney and who's standing there but Russia Lambaugh Senior.

1522
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 1: Without hesitating, without a split second, he turns around, recognizes me,

1523
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:26,679
Speaker 1: puts his hand out, Hey, Chuck, good to see you again.

1524
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:33,320
Speaker 1: He reckoned. He knew my name immediately, So, so you know,

1525
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 1: this is the kind of of heritage that that our

1526
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 1: beloved Rush had. And and uh I also got to

1527
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 1: meet David a couple of times. We were acquaintances. Uh,

1528
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 1: I've followed his writings over the years, you know, and

1529
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 1: and his Christian outlook, and uh, just a huge fan

1530
01:41:56,479 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: of David's also, But you know, living in Cape Girardo,

1531
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:06,599
Speaker 1: it was it was just the quintessential Midwest rock solid

1532
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:12,599
Speaker 1: kind of of a town and I loved it there. Well, Chuck,

1533
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing that story that you painted such

1534
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: a beautiful picture. And as you describe these men in

1535
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:27,639
Speaker 1: Russia's life, it was one gentleman after another. And that's

1536
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,599
Speaker 1: something I talk with my folks about all the time.

1537
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:34,439
Speaker 1: Where where the where are the gentlemen? Where are where

1538
01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:38,920
Speaker 1: did that go? And I believe it's out there, but

1539
01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:43,960
Speaker 1: people have not positioned it where it's popular enough. Maybe

1540
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 1: the music video, maybe the news, maybe at school. But

1541
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a bunch of gentlemen and ladies out

1542
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 1: there that feel the way that Rush felt about most things.

1543
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: And you know that has to be true because if

1544
01:42:57,120 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 1: you look at the statistics, he had more listeners in

1545
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 1: the biggest radio show in history. So somebody is as

1546
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 1: much as the team at MSNBC doesn't like Rush, somebody

1547
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 1: agreed with him. And that was such a great story,

1548
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 1: such a great story, And if you are looking for

1549
01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: powerful books, and I have I think I have all

1550
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,599
Speaker 1: of David's books now, Yes, I do. And I started

1551
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 1: reading David Limbaugh's books before I ever had an opportunity

1552
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: to guest host for Rush. And I thought it was

1553
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: the coolest thing too, because I'm a Rush listener. And

1554
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 1: then David is just he's also an attorney, but he's

1555
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:41,800
Speaker 1: a brilliant Christian writer and if you want to fill

1556
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 1: your heart with that power, his books just, oh my god,

1557
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 1: are they good. They're just beautiful books for the entire family.

1558
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: Just to check that out. We'll be right back. Wow,

1559
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 1: we have a big, big flock in the studio for

1560
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 1: obvious reasons. Where does the time go? The final edition

1561
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 1: of Open Line Friday on the final Rush Limbaugh Program,

1562
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 1: and today's I B High Note is dedicated to the

1563
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:21,639
Speaker 1: individual who inspired this program in the first place, Rush

1564
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 1: Hudson Limbaugh. You know earlier in the show we mentioned

1565
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 1: some of his quotes among my favorite folks. There's still

1566
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 1: work to be done. This is a time to push forward.

1567
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 1: Stay on board Monday, we hope you'll join us again.

1568
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:48,719
Speaker 1: An exciting new show built on and inspired by Rush.

1569
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: The EIB Network with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. You

1570
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: can also check them out right now at Rush Limbaugh

1571
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 1: dot com. I know many of you are familiar with

1572
01:44:56,720 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: them already. Same time, same station, same sensibility. People that

1573
01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:09,799
Speaker 1: share your thoughts and your passion, our passion for America,

1574
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: and a reminder that you're not alone in how you

1575
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: see the world. The noon to three time slot will

1576
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:22,760
Speaker 1: be that slot as it has been for decades. But

1577
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:29,439
Speaker 1: today on the final open line Friday, this is our

1578
01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 1: EIB high note. Here's Rush. We sometimes say that great

1579
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 1: radio makes are great listeners, but that also goes vice versa.

1580
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 1: Having such a great audience makes for great radio and

1581
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:46,600
Speaker 1: a great host. You are an indescribable can't do without it.

1582
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 1: Link to everything that's here, folks. I remain a brilliant

1583
01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 1: and optimistic and very bullish on our country and our future.

1584
01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 1: I really do, and I want to spend some time

1585
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:00,840
Speaker 1: talking about that today. Despite the ups and downs that

1586
01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 1: we experience and feel on a day today, basis, the

1587
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: United States of America remains the United States of America.

1588
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 1: It's very risky. We are precariously balanced. We are under

1589
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 1: assaults from within by the American left in the Democrat Party,

1590
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: but we persevere because there are still more of us

1591
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 1: treasure the United States of America as founding. There are

1592
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:25,800
Speaker 1: more of us than there are of those who wish

1593
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:29,879
Speaker 1: to undermine it. Despite the political disagreements and the angst,

1594
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 1: the human life expectancy has never been better. The standard

1595
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 1: of living, not just in America but around the world

1596
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: has never been higher one aggregate. On average, you can

1597
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:45,600
Speaker 1: always find pockets of despair and poverty that disprove but

1598
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 1: one balance. And if you want to just talk about

1599
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 1: the United States, it's not even close. Life is better

1600
01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 1: today that it was yesterday, than last year, than last month,

1601
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: and last decade. That's what the fight is. To keep

1602
01:46:56,800 --> 01:47:00,639
Speaker 1: that fact alive, to keep that going. Everybody wants their

1603
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,600
Speaker 1: kids to have a better life than they had. In

1604
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 1: America has been the place for that to be possible,

1605
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 1: and it still is and it's still happening. I just

1606
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 1: think it's crucially important to remember how fortunate we all

1607
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 1: are and what great opportunities we all still have. That's

1608
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:26,400
Speaker 1: what leadership sounds like. Right there. Here's Fred Brooklyn, New York. Fred,

1609
01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:32,920
Speaker 1: you are the final caller on the final open line Friday. Welcome, blessed,

1610
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, ten and forever dittos to you and all

1611
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:42,439
Speaker 1: the listeners. Thirty years ago, I was an orphan. I

1612
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 1: was raised by the state in New York, with no direction,

1613
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:50,080
Speaker 1: no positive mails in my life, and I tuned into

1614
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:53,600
Speaker 1: Rush because I was hoping for a traffic report one afternoon,

1615
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:59,520
Speaker 1: and I was hooked immediately, the first positive mail influence

1616
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:04,600
Speaker 1: I ever had my life. And every day I turned it,

1617
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 1: I turned to that show, and over the years I

1618
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 1: decided let me open my own business. He's could been

1619
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 1: convincing me that'd be the best guy I could No

1620
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 1: one else ever has well thirty years into my business

1621
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:22,479
Speaker 1: and both my boys, our own homes and living in

1622
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:25,479
Speaker 1: New York. I just can't believe that this is coming

1623
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 1: to an end. I will listen to will ever fill

1624
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 1: this spot because this spot has changed my life. It's

1625
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:38,920
Speaker 1: made me a proud man. It took me on adventures.

1626
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 1: I never thought it would just by positive thought every day,

1627
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:46,360
Speaker 1: just having someplace to listen to something positive, no matter

1628
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:48,720
Speaker 1: what was going on in my life. The guy would

1629
01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 1: just make me smile, He's made me laugh, and I

1630
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,560
Speaker 1: would wake up the next day looking forward to it,

1631
01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: rather than just wabbling from a state run institution that

1632
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:04,880
Speaker 1: was just taught me negativity. I mean, I went from

1633
01:49:05,479 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 1: from an orphan to gore criminal to a businessman and

1634
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: I never had any positive mail influence in my life.

1635
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:16,680
Speaker 1: So I thank him, I thank the entire organization and

1636
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:21,599
Speaker 1: forever didos. Thank you Fred, and God bless you. We'll

1637
01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:24,720
Speaker 1: be right back. Well, thank you for tuning in to

1638
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: the final edition of open Line Friday on the final

1639
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:32,240
Speaker 1: Rush Limball program. It was an experience and I was

1640
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 1: doing pretty good until Fred called, and then I was

1641
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:39,120
Speaker 1: reminded of the emotional attachment that we all have to

1642
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 1: this man known as Rush Limbaugh. So Monday, I hope

1643
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:48,800
Speaker 1: you'll join Clay Travis and Buck Sexton and remember, not

1644
01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 1: only are they inspired by Rush, but it is a

1645
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 1: new chapter in this love of America where we can

1646
01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 1: come and have fun and meaningful discuss and share the

1647
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:03,760
Speaker 1: greatness of each other. God bless you all.
