Now, need a break from the chaos. Tired of being sucker punched by Hollywood? If so, Red Pill to America is the podcast for you. Red pilled America is all about telling stories to Hollywood in the mainstream media won't tell. I'm Patrick Royalty.

And I'm Adriana Cortez. We're the hosts of Red Pilled America. If you enjoy good old fashioned storytelling, listen to read pilled America every week on My Heart Radio or wherever you listen to podcast that's read Pilled America, because it's time to tell our side of the story.

Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Well, right. Here it is, folks. Right. Here's an example of one of the things that I have been attempting to convince, persuade, bludgeon people with for a number of years right here, right in the the existing proof. And not that any of you need the proof. Don't misunderstand. I think all of you in this the most educated, erudite audience in all of media, and I mean that I don't think there's a more informed or educated audience in all of media than you.

Who is the most ill informed? I say the NPR crowd the most The New York Times, the most ill informed media audience out there. I really do. I mean, look at look at four years of abject lies on Trump, Russia, collusion and you know, something conservative tree house today, which is a bright, bright, relatively new one.

It's not new, but compared to some of the other conservative blogs out there, it is. And they have a piece today that's that's right on the money. It's by the the writer there named Sundance.

Everybody involved in it knew they knew it was a hoax. They knew it was fraudulent. They knew that they were participating in an illegal attempt to overturn the election results of twenty sixteen. They knew, for example, that Robert Mueller had two objectives to continue the investigation. Fraudulent though it was. In order to accomplish the second objective, and that is to cover up the illegality of what everybody was doing. Now, I know you've you've you've you've said that, yes, I have said that that's fine.

I'm just telling you, the way this guy wrote the piece today, it's persuasive. Everybody knew. But, Rush, you've you've I know I've said it, but I'm telling you, it's just it's a direct way of pointing.

Everybody involved in it knew it, including John Durham, including Bill Barr.

They all knew what was going on here. They all knew that Muller didn't have a case. They all knew there wasn't any collusion. But the fact is, for four years, people read The New York Times or what CNN believed the exact opposite. They literally believe the exact opposite. Remember how depressed and disjointed they were when the Mueller report came out and said nothing to see here. And you notice that bar jumped in real quickly to make sure that was the take because he knew.

He knew they all knew what this was that makes this even worse than it was, but just for the context of informed and ill informed media audiences, the people that paid attention to that story alone.

You would have to say are the most uninformed, ill informed media audiences in the country compared to you, who are the most informed, by the way you remember the story?

I guess it was it was on Friday that we shared with you the the new covid testing technique. That had been employed by the by the check comes and the Tricom technique. Involves anal swabbing. Very many people very upset over the nasal swab, because it goes way, way up there in the nasal cavity. I've had a bunch of those and it's not pleasant. It doesn't last long. You just have to close your eyes and just say it's just a couple of seconds and that's it.

Five seconds at most. Unless they're toying with you, you've got to make sure you have an examiner doesn't hate you. I have to always keep a sharp eye for those kinds of things. You going an examiner to keep that swab up there for 20 seconds? That could be bad. It hasn't happened. But I have to be vigilant and things like that. Most of them love me, but you never know there's going to be the oddball case.

Well, imagine you are a citizen of China and you're told, hey, there's a new way here of testing for covid-19 and it involves anal swabs. So many of you are complaining about the nasal that we thought you'd prefer. The A. Well, there's an update on the story. And it's from the UK Daily Mail. Let me just read it to you. Chinese authorities have labeled a viral video fake. A fake. Pardon me. Viral video after it purportedly showed Chinese citizens walking like penguins following their anal swabs to test for covid-19.

Tricom officials assured Tricom citizens they would not waddle like penguins after undergoing the procedure, which is being used in in China to screen covid-19 cases. No official explanation was given as to why people were filmed walking in this awkward manner. But there the Chinese, just like the American left, they could lie however they wanted. There's nobody to call them on it. So if the child comes to see, you don't know what you're seeing, you are not seeing what you're seeing.

You're not seeing people waddle around like penguins. It isn't going to happen. China's quarantine centers have started to use anal swabs to test key people. So that's how they're doing it. They're telling people getting the anal swab that they're important rather than a bunch of stooges for crying out. That's how they're doing it. I wondered how in the world. I mean, if you had the choice, what would you do, would you choose the rectum, would you choose the nasal cavity?

Well, yeah, you'd you'd go nasal every time, not because you might think you might walk like a penguin, but just because. What the hell? That's not supposed to happen. You don't believe this. Even if your child comes to this window, you never know what they think.

So they've told people. Getting the the the the anal swab, that they are important, that they are key to the country's future. Some experts believe that the method is here we go much more accurate than a nasal or throat swab and can raise the chances of the well. So not only are you going to get this if you are important, but it's a better test to boot.

So. There you have it. OK, now what is this big story that proves something I've been telling you? Let's first recount what it is that I've been telling you. I've been telling you as a means of explaining the Washington establishment, the structure of elites, the deep state, what whatever term you use to describe this collection of people. One of the things I've pointed out is once you have membership, that you're taken care of. Your kids are taken care of, your kids futures are for the most part, unless you really screw up guaranteed.

Your kids economic future is pretty much guaranteed. And you will be protected. If you break the law, if you go outside the country, the confrontations of the law, you will be protected. As long as you are doing the work of the club, long as you're doing the work in the deep state and these kinds of perks. Make the club of elites much more preferable to just going it on your own with the rest of the middle class out there in this massively gigantic competition that most Americans think they're engaged in.

But when you come to the deep state, you talk about the elites, there is no competition with the middle class because guess what, the middle class is who is under assault in all of this? The middle class is who's taking it on the chin in college campuses, why the denial of free speech, the denial of and the WOAK and cancel culture?

Who is it? It's them. It's the middle class that is. Being attacked and. Dwindling. Well, here's the headline, remember Peter struck, struck smirk. He had the affair out there when Lisa Page, she was there, both FBI lawyers, and she said, please text messages back. Please tell me I'm going to win. Please tell me I'm not going to be late. Don't worry, Lisa.

Not going to happen. We're going to have a backup plan. We're going to. What did he call it? He said his name for his backup plan. But we're going to have a plan. Don't worry. It isn't going to happen. The guy's not going to win. Trump won. Headline Biden just made, Peter struck strong smirks wife, a top security official at the. Insurance for injury. Yeah, we got to have an insurance plan.

Don't worry, Lisa Trump isn't going to win. If he does, we have an insurance plan and we've now seen the insurance plan, the Biden administration. Just announced. That's what the Securities Exchange Commission. The Securities and Exchange Commission just announced it had hired Melissa Hodgeman. Who is the wife? I'm Peter Struck Struck Smirk to lead the agency as its acting director of the Division of Enforcement last week, Hodgeman, according to the agency press release, has been with the SEC since 2008 as a bureaucrat engaging in a wide range of litigation.

And you go to the end of the story, Hodgeman is married to Peter Struck, struck smirk, made famous for his role in the FBI, his deep state CROSSFIRE hurricane operation, which featured a witch hunt investigation. That sought to incriminate President Trump. That story is from the Federalist, in case you're wondering why it's written fairly so struck strokes. Merck is paid off on two things. He's paid off on having the affair. It was worth it to his wife to stick with him.

Look what she got. She got a big promotion SSI, and it's worth it to drugs, Mark, because his wife was taking care of. He maintained his loyalty. He never once caved and the deep state has moved in and taken care of him. Here is a companion story. Devon knownas. Looks like Peter struck strong smirk is going to get reimbursed for all of his troubles. Devin Nunes on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo criticized the appointment of struck struck Smirk's wife Melissa Hodgeman to a key government position.

The S.E.C., he said, quote, Looks like Peter struck strong smirk. Is actually going to get reimbursed for all of his troubles. That's how David knownas sees that sees it, the guy who lost his job, but nothing's happened to him at this point. He's still an occasional on air commentator for cable news.

Newnes said the guy's wife, Hodgeman, Melissa Heidrick, would be a great public servant for all I know.

But if you look at the larger picture, the Russia hoaxers, the people who were pushing this out from the very beginning and lying about it after the fact, they're all at top echelons of the Biden administration.

And this, we also predicted, was one of the reasons why the Democrats had to win. The 2020 presidential election, which was to protect all of these people. Who had behaved illegally, knowingly, willingly, behaved illegally. They were going to be taken care of. And they are being taken care of. Just like we had the story last week of Kleinsmith Kleinsmith, no jail time for forging an e-mail to the FISA court about Carter Page literally changed an email and made it up, lying about Carter Page in a supposed engagement in illegal activities as a Russian agent.

And nobody can figure out where is the FISA court? Why is the FISA court not upset that this was done? Folks, who are we talking about here? There's not sad to say, I mean, the idea that there's an independent judiciary out there is a bit of a stretch. It's it's more understandable.

To understand that. The people involved in this knew everything. They knew everything was a was it was a hoax, they knew everything was made up, they knew everything was not true as it was being disseminated to the American public, and yet they continued the spread and dissemination of the story regardless. So struck, struck, smirk's wife could very well be. Responsible for investigating those little smelly Redit people, those those those normally Redditt people who decided to sell short on games, Chape game, show up game, whatever it is.

Game what? Game stop, right? I had four voices shouting me the same time, one voice is all I need, GameStop, so she can end up being the the agent in charge of or in an ancillary way involved in it.

Peter struck, struck smirk also got a book deal. I remember when that happened. Whoa.

But it all just it just makes. Total, since we also have news ladies and Jellison from the New York Post suspect planted pipe bombs the night before the capital protest. Did Trump give a speech tonight before the capital, protesters suggesting people plant pipe bombs? Yeah, I missed that if that happened. The would be pipe bomber of the Democrat Republican National Committee headquarters planted the devices at the Washington buildings the night before the January six Capitol riot. The FBI said on Friday in a wanted flyer.

The FBI said it obtained new information about the bomber, writing that the agency now believes the Would-Be terrorist planted the bombs. Between seven and 30 p.m. and eight thirty p.m. on January 5th. So that that happened because Trump did what may explain that to me, you know, that they just unlocked L.A. You're aware of this, restaurants, bars, not so fast. Los Angeles County has just banned TVs at bars just in time for the Super Bowl. I kid you not they just unlocked after over well, about a year, almost a year of shutting down the U.S. economy, California and New York purposely shut down their economies to make bad statistics happen.

To react negatively for Trump now, they've announced over the weekend of reopening, except today, they've announced that no TVs will be allowed in bars.

So why show up at a bar to watch super? Hi, how are you? Welcome back. It's Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and the brand new week of broadcast excellence here. All right, let's see, I'm looking at how much time I got left here and I mean, not having enough time to get started. Let's start with audio, sound bite number one. We've got some great stuff coming up on the Lincoln Project. The Never Trump, it's you don't want to miss.

It's not all that big a deal, but it's still funny as it can be. There just isn't enough time to get to it before now and then and the segment ends. But there is time for this. This is Cammy Harris coming Harris last Thursday in Huntington, West Virginia. She's vice president. She's on W. S a Z TV news.

And this is what she said about work for coal workers who are going to lose their jobs due to the Biden administration's climate plan, job creation around, for example, all of those skilled workers who are in the coal industry and transferring those skills to what we need to do in terms of dealing with reclaiming abandoned land mines, really.

So you people working in the coal mines are now going to be sent somewhere to disarm abandoned land mines. That's the great future you have here is Joe Manchin, senator from West Virginia, reacting to this. I saw it.

I couldn't believe it. No one called me. We're going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward. I think we need to, but we need to work together. That's not a way of working together. What was done now?

He's not happy with this. We're going to be very careful. You don't go against the Biden regime if you're in it. That's another thing about running the establishment or the deep state. And when you're president, you're considered to be among the people in the top echelon. So he got to be very careful here. But Biden sends the vice president. She doesn't know enough. To say, wait a minute, we're going to send people from the coal mines over to wherever there are.

That was a Princess Di issue. But you remember this Princess Diana, that was one of her big deals to getting rid of abandoned land mines because they blow up and they and they severely injure and warn people.

So that's what if you're working in a coal mine in West Virginia. That's what the Biden administration says.

If you're a great future, is here in there in their climate change, when you get to disarm abandoned land mines, a household name and all four corners of the world, or Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone. All right. It's not it's not just Joe Manchin that's upset out there, ladies and gentlemen, to find out that his constituents are going to be sent over wherever to what to do to disarm abandoned land mines, according to Commy Harris.

And now we have. Trending on Twitter. The hashtag Biden lied. Biden lied. See, what happened is Biden promised everybody they were going to get two thousand dollar checks as soon as he was sworn in. That was going to be his covid policy. And, of course, there have not been any two thousand dollar checks cut nor distributed. Here's what Biden said, January 4th, 20 21 in Atlanta.

This is not an exaggeration. Georgia, the whole nation is looking to you. If you send John to the reverend to Washington, those two thousand dollar checks will go out the door. Restoring hope and decency and honor for so many people are struggling right now.

They have to accept the checks haven't materialized. And so there now is a hashtag trending on Twitter.

Biden lied that, you know, Jack Dorsey, you have to shut that down. You can't have that out there. You realize they're going to be they're going to be struggling in terms of coming how to deal with this, because they're not set up for people to be angry at Democrats or angry at the American left. They don't have a program for that. So. Rasputin, Jack, it's going to have to come up with something here to protect Biden that's going to have to happen.

They can't let this thing continue to expand. They can't let this continue to trend. Larry Kudlow was was on Varney and company today in the Fox Business Network. Just want to play a quick bite because it is right on the money. True.

Everyone tells me there's an economic crisis. There is not an economic crisis. What there is. Yes. What, Larry, was a lockdown in California and New York. The rest of the economy basically is a v shaped recovery.

And but California, New York are huge parts of the economy. And Kudlow is right. There is not an economic crisis. There is a lockdown or was in California and in New York. The rest of the economy is basically a V shaped recovery. They kept California, New York shut down, locked down on purpose to negatively impact economic statistics. So that growth would be seen as far slower and less than it actually is or would be if these two states were open.

So California has decided to open up, but now banned televisions and bars. If you're a bar owner, can you imagine? The first thing you hear is, oh, I can reopen, all right, all right, my God, this is wonderful. And then two days later, you're told that you cannot turn your TV sets on in the bar. Starting this week and continuing through at least this next Sunday for the Super Bowl. Imagine if you're a bar owner and that's what you're hit with from California.

OK, we move on now to the to the never Trump the never Trump folks. I have to tell you what. These are the the so-called conservatives who hated Trump on the basis of his morality. That's what they said that trumps morality is is just it's just unacceptable. It's so far beneath what we would tolerate. It's just you. We can't stand to be in the same room with Donald. He's a pig.

It's an ogre.

They just went on and on and on with it. And what has happened? It's kind of funny, but at the same time, it's a little sad, puzzling, it's all of it's predictable. About half of the never Trump is that are speaking up. Claimed to be shocked that Biden is going so hard left. Now, this fox is one of the many reasons why never. Respected these people, they're not this dumb. But then maybe they are, you know, that's that's the that's the overriding possibility they could be this.

Unaware they could be this ignorant, they really are, some of them are saying they are stunned at how rapidly Biden is going hard left. And they're saying there's no stopping him now, so you may as well just get used to it. The other half. Or a close percentage of half of the never troupers are admitting that they're leftists and they have been forever, they were they were originally Democrats and then it became conservatives because of Reagan. And then that didn't work out so.

But they admit to loving left wing money. See, that's the key.

They loved big time left wing donors to their phantom not in existence yet magazines or blog sites or wherever it is that they want to put down stakes and grow some supposin media enterprise.

They can't do it without money that they don't have, and so they have turned into people love left wing money, they absolutely love it. And so that's what we are dealing with and in terms of who these people are now.

There is a story in The New York Times. Lincoln Project, that's the never Trump Lincoln Project co-founder accused of grooming young men for sex. Who could this be? Does the name John Weaver ring a bell? Political consultant John Weaver is accused of soliciting young men for sex in exchange for jobs.

This is according to author Ryan GRD Dusky, the anti Trump Group, the Lincoln Project, issued a scathing statement on Sunday distancing itself from Weaver and his deplorable and predatory deplorable. They're calling one of their own a deplorable no way yet it is right there.

They're calling one of their own deplorable in the New York civil war. Man, this is what an insult for Weaver. Deplorable and predatory behavior after a New York Times report detailed a history of alleged predatory behavior and Lincoln Project disavowed its co-founder after a Times report featured interviews with twenty one men. Who accused Weaver of sending unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he can help them get work in politics. One alleged alleged victim was only 14 years old.

Now, remember, John Weaver, co-founder, one of the head grand poobah, is running around for the last four years telling everybody what a reprobate Donald Trump is. Donald Trump doesn't have any business being president, he got horrible morality, we can't have somebody like this representing these people in the never Trump crowd were hellbent.

On disqualifying Trump because of his lack of morality, his lack of decency, they said we can't have something like this undermining. The constitutional requirements for the chief executive. In its statement, the Lincoln Project wrote, John Weaver led a secret life that was built on a foundation of deception at every level. He's a predator, he's a liar, he's an abuser. The Lincoln Project wrote, We extend our deepest sympathies to those who were targeted by John Weaver's deplorable.

There it is again and predatory behavior. We are disgusted. We're outraged that somebody in a position of power and trust would use it for these means. Grab sound bites. Number five and six. Here's Weaver, first March 7th. 2017, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island during a panel discussion on the future of the Republican Party to continue to try to divide us based on some false narrative is morally wrong.

He's degrading the White House. He's not telling the truth. That's not conduct that anybody around here would excuse. You don't accept it with your five girls? I don't it with my two kids. Why do we want to accept that as president?

There he is, John Weaver, who has just been excommunicated from the never Trump. Because of his deplorable predatory behavior towards young men, October 11th, 2020, 60 Minutes Lesley Stahl said to John Weaver, you you feel the Republican Party has betrayed you.

We've gone from caring about character, rule of law, defending the Constitution. Imagine if you traveled the country for 30 years fighting for Republican principles and you learned it was all a lie.

Isn't that just juicy? Speaking of juicy, you've got I can't find it. I had it right here. You've got the George Conway sound bite, right? Just arrived. OK, stand by on it. Because George Conway, you all know who George Conway is. He's the husband of Kellyanne Conway. He's out there ripping Trump for his immorality and indecency and is embarrassing. Oh, my God. Just exactly the kind of stuff that we've been saying here.

George Conway headline this headline, by the way, from the Hill Dotcom, George Conway on John Weaver allegations. I didn't really know John very well. And I guess this is all kind of a bit of a surprise to me. I didn't know John that well. Oh, isn't this convenient? Conservative attorney George Conwell distanced himself from the predatory. And deplorable Lincoln Project founder John Weaver following a new report alleging it Weaver. Sent unwanted messages, maybe unwanted messages to two young men, some of which were sexual in nature.

Here's Conway. Here's the sound bite.

Yeah, it's it's terrible and awful and appalling and unfathomable. I, I, I didn't know John very well. I, frankly, only spoke to him a couple of times on the phone early on in the Lincoln Project. Oh, I just I it's almost I don't know, even know what to say. It's just, it's just terrible. What do you mean. I don't know what to say. I, I it leaves me speechless.

Frankly, you don't know what to say. What do you been saying for four years about Trump and you? This is the founder of this organization that you're a proud member of and you claim you didn't know this about the guy. And when you find out about it, you don't know what to say other than it's. Man, anyway, these are the people, half of them, these people now decided they can't believe how fast Biden's gone left. The other half say, you know, I don't care, I don't care because I love left wing money.

We couldn't get by without it, which they have been demonstrating. The past four years. OK, we'll get to the phones coming up right after this time out. I didn't know John very well. I didn't know the guy was out there hitting on young guys. I certainly would have objected if I had known about it. But we got to get back to trumpet what a rotten SLB Donald Trump was. Donald Trump is Ruining America by John Weaver.

John Weaver is a nobody stink bomb. We don't need people like that. This is just incredible.

They all knew. And every one of the some of these little sycophants out there sucking up what little they can to maintain their warped status in a corrupt. Organization everybody calls the deep state or the establishment or what have all right, it's time to get started on the phone somewhere in West Virginia. This is Ed. Great to have you on the program. And hello.

Hello, Raj. I'm a longtime listener and I'm honored to be on the phone with you today for the first time. And I just can't believe it, to be honest with you. I caught you as I'm driving down the highway and I heard you say something. I'm also disappointed because I have to now say that I'm part of that one percent that makes up the you're almost always right that 99 percent of the time. And I heard you say something about Kamala Harris and the West Virginia land mines and then allude to the fact that it's a land mine as something that would blow up.

And I think what she was saying, although I don't have the transcript in front of me, was that she was going to take miners who are out of work and teach them how to reclaim the land in which the mines, the coal mines were being closed. Oh, you mean she's not going to go out and teach him how to disarm landmines, she's going to teach him how to go out and reclaim the land so that you can bring back a live land mine to West Virginia?

Yeah, I think I think your sarcasm is on point again. Yes.

Is that really what you think she said? Yeah, I do.

And, you know, you don't think that she was saying that out of work coal miners are going to are going to disarm landmines, which she said.

I got the transcript to the bottom of the stack I just met there.

But we're going to reclaim abandoned land mines. Nothing about the land the land mines are in. We're going to reclaim abandoned land mines and abandoned land mines. Got to be you know. You know how.

Well, let me tell you I'll tell you this very briefly. When I was growing up early one morning, I got up and my mother had a package of meat sitting on the counter beside the stove. And on it, it said groundhogs, sausage and groundhog was on the same line, sausage underneath that. And there was no space between ground and hawk. And I said, I'm not in a minute.

Wait a minute, wait. I just figured out what you mean. It is taken me. You're saying that she meant to say abandoned mine lands. Correct. And instead she said, abandon the land mines here. I've been feeling sorry for abandoned land mines. Exactly. And West Virginia coal workers are going to have to disarm, abandoned. You know, we have abandoned illegal alien kids in cages at the border. We have abandoned people here. We abandoned women and homeless centers in Los Angeles.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't make much difference with which way you look at it. They're not going to do it anyway.

Well, that's you know, that's the bottom that that that is so true. You do not know how. Right. They're not going to do any of this garbage anyway. All this is just a bunch of words, but you're quite she meant to say, abandoned mine lands. So what she said, well, how do you do that? So you have you have land in which there are coal mines in which there's coal and they're going to shut all that down to save the planet.

So she said, what do you do if you're a co worker and you're hired to go reclaim abandoned mine? What are you going to do? What's what's the job, in other words?

Yeah, exactly. That's the point. She's clueless, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. Yeah, it is.

But I thought it maybe as a West Virginia resident for years, you might have known. I don't mean to put pressure.

I don't misunderstand.

But she meant abandoned mine. She misspoke because she's a leftist in line man's land mine.

What? I got to take a break.

OK, fastest three hours in media. One of them already over with. It's in the ether on the way to the Limbaugh Broadcast Museum, the virtual broadcast museum at Rush Limbaugh Dotcom. So we'll have we'll have more on call like co-workers, coal mine workers reclaiming abandoned land, mine lands and how that happens and lots of other stuff.

So don't go anywhere.

Big tech is doing everything they can to silence conservative news stories and conservative voices. So you might wonder, what am I not saying that they won't allow me to see on their platforms? The good news is our podcast, the Ben Ferguson podcast, covers the news stories every day that they won't let you see. That's right. You'll get the news stories they're hiding from you. So be sure to listen to the Ben Ferguson podcast on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

Download it now. I couldn't see a way out, we were completely surrounded and they all looked like the same person, zombies itching to convert us into their weird Hollywood cult. Everywhere we turn, there they were and more were coming, spilling into every opening around us. It seemed like they were calling out to each other telepathically, get them fresh meat. I thought the only way out was to give in and go with them. But just as I started to follow their leader, it hit me.

Adriana's hand met my cheek. Yeah, I slapped him with one quick strike to the face. SNAP out of it. Patrick, let's get the hell out of here. And that's when we made a run for it through the only opening in the crowd. We were only a few feet from making it out. When they blocked us in again, we were goners. Redfield America is a storytelling show, the kind Hollywood doesn't want you to hear, listen to read pilled America on I heart radio or wherever you get your podcast that's read pilled America.

It is so great to be with you each and every day here behind the Golden EIB microphone, Rush Limbaugh and broadcast excellence for the next two hours and we got a full board will be getting back to the phones as quickly as possible, maybe even in this the first segment of the hour. You know, we don't normally take phone calls in the first segment of the hour, but we we have been lately. And there's a great question from somebody in Tucson, Arizona, coming up that I I don't know that I've got the answer to it is the thing that's what I consider to be a good question, because you got to really apply yourself.

You have to really think about it.

It's not a new question. It's not something I haven't been asking myself. But I'll have the added pressure. The added pressure of having to come up with some kind of acceptable answer in front of millions of you are let's clean up a little bit or wrap up a little bit on the on the never Trump.

We just we just played an audio soundbite of the estimable George Conway.

Who so I didn't know this Weaver guy very well at all, I I'm just I'm I know him. I know, I know, and I've not no, I've not I've not had that new skycam way of testing for covid. No, I don't mean that. I just never knew the guy. I mean, Weaver might know about that that thing that the Chinese are doing. I don't know anything about it. I don't know about that. I don't know about I don't know about Conway.

I don't know Conway very well at all. I really don't know the guy really. Oh, it's just horrible. The guy only wrote an op ed with Weaver. A few weeks ago, a few days ago. But it's worse than that. The leaders of this bunch are not just John Weaver, they are George Conway, Steve Schmidt, who ran McCain's campaign. And that's another thing. The McCain family loves them some weaver. They have loved this guy.

McCain loved Weaver. Weaver worked for McCain. Weaver was at the top of the of the flow chart on the Steele dossier, finding its way into the American news media. John Weaver was and he worked for McCain. The McCain family loves them some John Weaver. I don't know if they still do. But they did, and there's another one in there named Rick Wilson. Now these guys, Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, George Conway and John Weaver have appeared on MSNBC 17 times.

In the three weeks since the Weaver story broke and they were not asked about the allegations one time. And they were on MSNBC 17 times MSM. Here's the headline from Daily Caller. MSNBC did not ask Lincoln Project founders about John Weaver, despite booking them 17 times after the story first broke. Weaver of the Lincoln Project has been accused by multiple men, including a minor of sexual harassment, Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, George Conway have appeared on MSNBC 17 times.

Since the story first broke on January 11th, they were not asked about the allegations once during any. All of these interviews. Now, Ryan Gerd, Dusky, who we share with you a tweet earlier, said that they did know, the members did know, young men approached them about the accusations. Members knew I was writing the story and warned John Weaver about it. So The New York Times writer said they knew about it, even though MSNBC didn't ask them.

So now what's next? Well, they're going to change names, they can't they can't run around with the Lincoln Project because that's going to be tied to Weaver now. So they can't have you can't a bunch of people thinking that Lincoln Project features a bunch of pedophiles, so you have to change the name one. And here's what they're doing. The headline, Lincoln Project co-founder, starting new podcast company. Ron Low and I don't know that that's how you pronounce it, s t e s l o w he might pronounce it Steese Lo he might pronounce it Stilo.

He might pronounce it so he could pronounce it long. I have no idea. So I have to go all these various pronunciations to get it right because I'm not trying to be wrong. He's a political strategist who hosted the Lincoln Project's podcast. He's now launching a new podcast company called Political. Promising politics without the blinders, blinders. Blinder's what a Blinder's have to do with anything. I mean, Weaver was wearing blinders. So you're not going to do a new podcast without the blinders.

Why it matters. This is an accio story, so you get these encapsulating paragraphs, why it matters. His venture could capture large audiences seeking to understand America's troubled political undercurrents. B.S. Anybody wants to understand America's troubled political undercurrents are already listening to this show. You don't need a podcast. From a bunch of people that have already been corrupted by the deep state. The establishment, what have you. The big picture, well, it comes amid transition and crisis for the Lincoln Project, a hugely successful anti Trump advocacy group.

They are successful because they got a bunch of rich left wingers to give them money. They are not richly successful in the marketplace. And see, this is folks, this is such an important distinction. In the marketplace, they are not successful, they are successful within the boundaries of the deep state or the establishment, whatever term you like. The wealthy and accomplished within the deep state are taking care of people like these guys, but they couldn't they couldn't put together 10 times if they had to in the private sector.

Or what we've always known as the private sector, and that's really the competitive battle that exists in America. Now you have the traditional middle class trying to claw its way up to the upper middle class, which is the way the rules of this country's economy have always been played by. You work hard, you try your best, you try to play by the rules as much as you can. You're rewarded for it. You innovate, you're an entrepreneur, whatever.

Well, that's now a separate market.

The people in the establishment, the elites, they want no part of that. They are attacking that. That's who they are. That's what the game stop story was really all about. A bunch of normal people found a way to become billionaires inside of a week. We can't have that.

We can't have people earning enough money in one day to put their kids through college for four years. That's what we offer. So they're out there attacking, they literally are attacking the middle class, the middle class is who? Being aimed at in this battle taking place in the United States, and I'm just here to tell you that these these clowns at the at the Lincoln Project, if they were restrict, why do you think they abandoned the middle class?

Why do you think they did what they did? Why do you think they threw in? With the establishment, because they knew once Trump was elected, they were out. Seventy five million Americans worked or voted, rather, for Donald Trump. That's a signal to them that they don't have a place in that group of people. So they made tracks out of it and they pulled up stakes, put down stakes with people in the establishment, in the deep state, again, whatever you want to call, I'm not wedded to deep state, just so you know.

That's why I keep giving myself options here. I mean, John Weaver, John Weaver worked for Democrats. People forget that between running McCain's two campaigns in 2000 and 2008, Weaver worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that's in the House. This guy has not been a Republican except for his name only status for McCain. Anyway, so here's the current status of the of the Lincoln Project, one Lincoln Project co-founder is out amid scandal led by John Weaver.

Two others have quit to pursue other things that be this runs this little guy and Mike Madrid. Another has taken a leave of absence. That's George Conway, whose whose daughter, the poor girl in constant meltdown on social media. And now they're changing a name, they're getting rid of Lincoln and instead of the Lincoln Project, the new company is named. Political. So that's what these guys are doing and that's what they are up to.

OK, let me grab let me grab a here in Tucson, Arizona. Welcome, sir. Great to have you with us. Hi.

Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking the call. Mega, mega prayers and appreciation for everything you do. Thank you, sir. You know, last week you were talking about Republicans not being able to or not knowing how to use power when they've got it. And now we see the Democrats, you know, taking care of all these law breakers that were participating in the coup. One thing I've been frustrated for four years, and I know you have to basic question, why did Trump allow the Trump FBI and the Trump Justice Department to go after Trump people and put Trump people in jail and be and therefore be on the defensive his entire administration in the media?

I've tried to explain the details of the coup that you brought out. Other conservative talk show people were brought out, all the emails, everything I read. My Democrat friends and relatives even respond by saying, well, if it's the Democrats that are so corrupt, why are the Republicans? No one's going to jail. I don't understand why Trump allowed this to happen. The presidency, you know, control the administration.

OK, I'm going to tell you something. Let me answer your question. You may not believe the answer. Trump may have been the only one who didn't know. And the reason that Trump didn't know is because he just couldn't accept it. It is your president, the United States. You've offered administration jobs to a number of people. You can't you don't believe that every damn one of them is corrupt and is working against you. But I'm telling you that he.

I think they mishandled this thing from the get go, I think it was illegitimate from the get go, but they didn't treat it that way. They treated it as a legitimate investigation. They allowed the premise of this to be set by Mueller and Comey and Obama and Biden and Brennan and Clapper and all that. And the premise was that Trump was illegitimate, that he had stolen the election to work for us. So that's become what everybody discusses. Trump should never have allowed that to become the premise.

But when once that happened, then the whole thing that everybody is arguing about is a is a gigantic hole in the wall. There's nothing there. And yet everybody's talking about it and trying to win points and persuade people based on that. Right, but the answer, it was never trumps FBI, it was the other FBI that was doing what they were doing, and Trump didn't didn't think that such a thing was possible. He didn't think that such an opposition.

Could be so massive in scale. Right now, yeah, the whole time I watched, I thought it could have turned it around. I mean, he even used the phrase dirty cops in which the only way he a narrative around was to have his people investigate the other side and actually. But even even that investigator Durham, yeah, Durham knows every everybody involved in this knew from the beginning that it was, for lack of a better word, a hoax.

It was all made up. Everybody involved knew it. Look, I've got I appreciate the call. There are two answers here. The first one is the answer I just gave you about the competition in America today is the elites versus the middle class. Everybody has suspected for the life of America that the elites welcome the middle class, that the elites, they might have made fun of them and they might have scorned them. But everybody understood that in the American economic system, you need a middle class.

That's where the majority of the money is in total. And and the fact that everybody in the middle class is starting small businesses and hiring people, that's good for the country. That's not the case anymore. The middle class is the target. And look at what look at what the deep state has secured. They own the media, they own Hollywood, they own big tech.

They own education, they own popular culture, in their view, they've won, in their view, they own it. There's no reason now to need the middle class. There's no reason to put on airs or to act like you care about people in the middle class because they think that they have essentially. Succeeded in controlling everybody in the middle class. They think they've won. That's why they're going to do everything they can to make sure future elections are irrelevant.

So the second answer to this. Is that everybody involved in this whole thing knew it was bogus and made up from the beginning. Everybody knew that Mueller wasn't investigating Jack because everybody knew there was nothing to find. Everybody involved knew. That Mullers purpose was to make it look like there was a legitimate investigation in order to cover up the fact that everybody knew this thing was.

A total scam, the design of which was to get rid of Donald Trump, let me let me try to be even more detailed when we come back.

So I mentioned earlier in the program a piece today at the conservative Tree House by Sundance is one of the writers there. It's how he goes by Sundance, the last refuge. And the point of his piece here is to explain just how deep the corruption is.

In our government, whatever you want to call it again, and whether you want to call it the deep state, you want to call it the elites, the establishment, it is near complete its corruption. Start from the position that everybody knew the purpose and intent of Robert Mueller, including people very close to President Trump. And then you start to realize just how brutally corrupt the D.C. system is, President Trump. Was satiated by people who knew that Robert Mueller was protecting all of those who tried and failed to keep him out of office and then to hamstring him once he entered the system.

In other words, Trump was served by satiated, satisfied by people who knew that Mueller was protecting all the people that tried with CROSSFIRE, hurricane or any other operation to get rid of Trump.

Everybody knew. Everybody knew the purpose of Robert Mueller. Everybody knew why he was named and it wasn't to find anything. There was nothing to find. Trump had not colluded with the Russians. Not once, not ever. Not in his mind. Not in his dreams. It never happened. It wasn't to find that, it was to create the illusion of looking for that. While the real purpose, protecting those who tried to run this coup. From being found out.

Not one did not know, the only difference is some were active participants and some out of fear just sat silent on the operation. That reality is why the FISA court did not react to Kevin Kleinsmith aggressively lying, everybody knew that this was not an investigation.

I'm going to tell you something. I alluded to this moments ago. Every time I talk to the president about this, it was within the confines that he thought it was a legitimate investigation. And I have to look, I can't betray these confidences, but I'll just tell you, I, I talk till I was blue in the face trying to convince him there was no legitimate investigation here. You didn't do it right. You didn't. There's no there's no way they know this.

Everybody knows you didn't do this. You remember hearing him talk about a. At press conferences, he was talking about it within. The the context of it's a bogus investigation, there's nothing to it, but he legitimized it. By accepting the premise that it was a legitimate investigation, it never was, Mueller had two goals. Goal number one, to continue the fraudulent stop Trump operation initiated by Comey and McCabe. In the CROSSFIRE, hurricane gang goal number two was to bury the illegal action, which was pretty much all of this, to create the cover up needed for everything that took place in the Stop Trump operation.

It's the second objective that most people never came to grips with. Hang on.

Well, what's the alternative? I have some people saying I checked the e-mail during the break rush. There's no way Trump didn't know. OK, so Trump also knew that Mueller was bogus. Trump knew there was nothing. I mean, he knew it. Yes. He was the guy about whom they were lying. It was the guy about whom they were accusing all these things. He knows he didn't do it, but I guarantee you. How can I say this?

I've got a. He knows he didn't do it, but nevertheless, he still didn't oppose them.

From the standpoint that they were the ones who were illegitimate, not him. There was nothing to. There was no evidence, but he's got his lawyers telling him that the fastest way to make this go away is to cooperate, remember? John Dowd, some of these have got the fastest way to make it go away is to cooperate. Mr. President, remember, everybody knew. I maintain to you that everybody knew, but Trump and I can make the case that it's understandable that he wouldn't I mean, he knew that he didn't do it.

I don't think at especially at the outset after a while, of course, he knew. But I don't think at the outset and for the first months of this, he thought it was anything but legitimate. And he tried to defeat it on the basis it was illegitimate, if you recall. And what we were up against was that Trump was left with the antithesis of the American judicial systems premise, which is that the accused never have to prove they didn't do it because it isn't possible.

In many cases, it is always up to the accused to prove you did it. The prosecutor has to has to prove you did it, you do not have to prove your innocence and sometimes it's a great way of being acquitted, but it's not a bedrock principle of our system. Yet Trump went about attempting to prove he didn't do it. It was the equivalent of OJ looking for the real killers. There weren't any real killers and there was there weren't any defined.

Trump did not collude. There was no collusion to find and yet think back every news story about this investigation with others. New evidence has been undercut and found, a new leak, a new statement from an anonymous source. They just kept adding one lie on top of another one. And that line was reacted to. By Trump and his inner circle. But there was never anything there. Mueller had two goals.

To continue the quazi investigation. And to create the cover up needed for everything that took place in the investigation, and it's that second goal that most people never reconciled. It's also the second goal that is the most important, because everybody in D.C., everybody in Washington, knew Mueller's objective. Every person in every branch of government, every failure, every federal agency knew what Mueller's real purpose was. It was to protect. The behavior of the people who were breaking the law, the investigators.

When you when you accept what Mueller's objective was, I mean, really, it. Then and only then can you move to the second part of the awakening, this is Tree House writing at Sundance, writing at the conservative Tree House. Everyone else knew exactly what the purpose was, including bar, including the inspector general Horowitz, they all knew.

It was to protect the behavior of the people who were literally breaking the law in this crazy phony investigation. Not in a general sense, people accept that Mueller Inc was in place to target Trump. And let's look at the American people, folks. The vast majority American people think that that investigation was legit.

They think it was a legitimate premise. Yeah, Trump might have stolen the election. Yeah, let's look at Trump might have colluded with the Russians. Yeah, let's look into it. There was never any evidence of the kind. Never they never had a stinking bit of evidence. Yet everybody thought the investigation was legit. That was Mueller's purpose. People accept that Mueller was in place to target Trump, however. The lesser admitted reality is that Mueller was in place to cover up for the branches, the agencies, the institutions that were part of the originating targeting.

All the leaks to the media by anybody, including the special counsel, were purposeful with this goal in mind, all information released was done purposefully with this goal in mind. All action taken by those in support of the Mueller unit were taken with full knowledge of what the second goal was, protect the behavior of the investigators. No one in Washington was ever unaware of the purpose of Robert Mueller. But now you have to ask, was Trump aware? Or did Trump think that it was a legitimate investigation, but bogus because he knew he didn't do it but.

He's got these people investigate him, he's got to do what he can to show them that they're wrong if there's just even a tinge of that. Then he's accepted the premise. Which I think happened. This list of everyone, by the way, let's put some names to it, Bill Barr, Rosenstein, KOMY McCabe, Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson, Charles Grassley, Peter Struck, Struck Smirk and Lisa Page, Susan Rice, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch, Mitch McConnell, every member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, every damn one of every member of the House Intelligence Committee.

And, yes, John Durham. Every member of the Department of Justice office, everywhere, the legislative branch knew, the judicial branch, knew, the executive branch, knew, the FISA court knew all of the insiders knew that the Mueller investigation was one big vacuum. To suck up all of the evidence that would have exposed a corrupt system to we the people, that's. What everybody knew. That means the corruption is the everybody in the media knew this is this is in fact, this is the part of the story that I had the biggest problem with when I would talk to anybody about it and start down my road of folks.

This is this thing is totally illegitimate. There's not a shred of evidence. There never has been. We know that Hillary Clinton did this. You know how that fell on a bunch of deaf ears, all those all those years, all those months, the fact that Hillary's involvement fell on deaf ears, nobody was interested. Hillary Clinton was one of those designed to be protected. And Comey signaled that by exonerating her on her e-mail crimes. Anyway, the reason why this remains important is because it's why now we have a president in exile.

Who now the deep state is doing everything they can to ensure he will never be able to run for office again. On the basis of an abject hoax. An illegitimate coup, if there is such a thing as a legitimate coup, I mean, it's just. And you put on top of this that everybody knew. And so now. The deep state, the left, whatever, they are coalescing their power now, folks, they're putting it all together.

They've got.

The media, they've got big tech, they've got the search engines, they've got. Popular culture, they've got practically every tentacle that reaches into the general population, they control it. And what are they doing with it? They are obliterating America's past, among other things. They are literally attempting to wipe out our past all of these statues. From the Civil War era and beyond. All of these supposedly offensive weekend carrying that, they are simply literally attempting to re right or expunge the history of one of the most legitimate nations in the in the in the history of humanity.

They're attempting to wipe it out so that future. Americans will never know the real truth of their country, what are they going to be taught how racist and bigoted America was?

How unfair America was. How bigoted were the founders, how they were racists and entirely different, totally made up. History of America is being prepared and we don't have much time for the pushback, and the big question is when and how big will be the pushback? Because got to tell you. No country on earth can survive, obliterating its past. Like we are doing. Do you hear what happened in San Francisco? Recently, forty forty four zero San Francisco schools.

Were renamed if they had a name of one of the founders, Franklin School gone, Washington Schoolgoing, Jefferson School gone. Forty different schools next year call up for opening the border to anybody that wants to get in. While you nullify federal immigration law or you are allowed to destroy people's lives for free expression. In other words, your black lives matter are your are your antifa. You're allowed to destroy Portland, you're allowed to destroy Seattle or Minneapolis because you're engaging in legitimate protest.

So there's going to be a reaction to this, we just don't know if the country has changed enough. We don't know if the reaction to it will be big, if it'll be in it, we just don't know. Anyway, got to take a break, we'll do that, be back with more phones right after this. And we return to the phones here on the Rush Limbaugh program, Salt Lake City. This is Margine. Welcome. Great to have you here.

Oh, my gosh. I feel like it's my birthday. How are you? I'm great. Thank you for calling.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you about my dad and what my dad used to say about people. He said people were born with two things that were there. They had their name and they had their integrity. And once one went away, the other shortly followed and that they were awfully hard to get back. I think my dad would have seen you as the type of person he was referring to in a statement that you just have so much integrity and you're such a good person.

And I just feel very blessed every day that I have to listen to you and have you be a part of my life.

Well, I that's that's that's that's mind blowing. And I remember things that my dad told me like that too related. Not exactly that, but one of my favorites is that you can always you can always tell the character of somebody by watching how they treat people who can't do anything for him.

But that's really flattering. I'm very much appreciate that. What do you say you're born with your integrity in your name?

Yes, the two things that you. There you to things that are yours and then what only you can destroy. Yeah, you know, and once you destroy one, the other goes with it. If you destroyed your name, then you destroyed your integrity and vice versa, you know, and they're awfully hard to recover once you've lost and you're you're putting me in the in the high integrity category.

I guess that's that's what I'm. Yes. Yeah, I'm yes.

You would be the type of person that was thinking about.

Well, I guess I say I'm very flattered by that. Thank you. Thank you, Your Honor.

Well, I appreciate that, too, I, I just do I I've never developed a good way of saying thank you to people who have these kinds of compliments other than just to say thank you. And I feel like it's sometimes woefully insufficient, but I nevertheless appreciate it. Margine, thank you very much. Nagato, Connecticut. Jim, you're next. Welcome to the program.

Hi, how are you? Thanks for taking my calls. Mega prayers. Watch your voice of reason in a time of seems like mega darkness here. Thank you, sir, very much. Is there anybody in DC that is law and order? And can these these people need to be indicted? It's amazing to me. I think the end justifies the means with this Biden thing, Joe Biden as the president. I just think that no matter what, this guy has to get it.

And I don't believe he's a real president. Nobody goes to jail on this side. Nobody gets in that weird little grab turn out to be a phony.

And you got to be real careful on this. My job here is to protect all of you. You have been warned about this not going down this road.

It's disgusting to me. But for four years, though, we went down the road on lies and made up deception and 40 million dollars of our tax dollars. And but we can't it's it's disgusting. Where are the decent politicians fighting for America and fighting for law and order? People need to be invited. The clappers that call me.

Yeah, but it's not going to happen. We've learned that we look, we've this is when we saw how nothing is going to happen to Kleinsmith. And that really wasn't the first one when we saw that nothing is going to happen to McCabe, nothing is going to happen to structure. The Mueller investigation succeeded. Its purpose was to protect the behavior of those who engaged in this investigation. This was it was not an investigation. There was no investigation necessary.

There was no collusion. There was no evidence. There was no not a shred of it. And you ask how deeply it's it's deep. The corruption is deep.

Everybody knew it set. And we realize that even now it's deeper than we knew. It's deeper than we were prepared to accept. We agree. Russian, thank God for you for voice of reason. Well, I didn't stop it, did I? You thought I didn't. There's nobody that stopped it. Not a single person was able to stop it, even though there were a bunch of people that knew exactly what was going on was right in front of our faces.

So we knew it. And I, for one, accuse them of the same things I'm saying today, didn't stop them. Not that a voice on the radio would not misunderstand. The way they look at things, there's nobody that can stop them. I mean, they run everything. So in the midst of all of this, try this headline today, House Republican launches campaign to take back our party. This is Adam Kinzinger, Illinois wants to take back the Republican Party from Trump.

And take it to where take it right to the establishment.

That's what he wants, right? All right. All right. Welcome back, folks. It's great to have you here. Rush Limbaugh pushing forward yet another day. Broadcast excellence on the Rush Limbaugh program. Telephone number 800 two eight two two eight eight two. OK, there's two different things going on if we go by the headlines. First up is a story about the Illinois Republican congressman. His name is Adam Kinzinger and he has been anti Trump for practically as long as Trump has been.

And the headline, this story, a House Republican launches campaign to take back our party's name, that would imply. Well, let's let's read a little more before we get the implication as the Republican Party wrestles with its identity in the wake of former President Trump.

An Illinois Republican is out to prove there is a GOP voter base that wants to give up the division and the conspiracy theories that he says have come to define the party. Is that is that what the Trump cult is? Is that. It's not even a cult yet, they say it is. Is that what 75 million people think? Seventy five million people voted for Trump or just a bunch of conspiracy theorists. Is that all? It doesn't seem to me that they are the story, the story is what's happening on the other side.

The story here. Is. Essentially, how? Everything we thought was legitimate is rigged. We've been playing the game as though everything's legitimate and it isn't, and it's rigged against us and it's it's. And that's not a conspiracy theory. But anyway, the point, Mr. Kinzinger, is, is the biggest danger right now is that we have come a party that dabbles and not just dabbles we traffic and conspiracies. We traffic in lies. Trump's role in the January 6th insurrection was a wake up call.

I don't think this is this is like the Trump Russia collusion story, folks. There's nothing here. And yet they're creating a whole brand new narrative out of this and they've already done it, actually. And just as they convince people that Trump colluded with Russia, so they have convinced people that Trump gave marching orders to the people that did what they did on January six, we're going to come to find out that it was not Trump supporters that did it, that pipe bombs or plan of the night before before Trump even made a speech about this.

But anyway, Mr. Kinzinger says that. He's launching a movement. To take back the party now, the next story has a different headline. Former Bush officials leave GOP over failure to disown Trump. I got two stories on this one from the Hill Dotcom, the other from U.S. News and World Report, dozens of members of former President George W. Bush's administration are reportedly planning to leave the Republican Party following the deadly January six riot. Citing the party's ongoing embrace of Donald Trump, sources told Reuters that as many as 60 former George W.

Bush officials would leave the party in the coming days, with at least one of them also citing Representative Marjorie Taylor Green's promotion of conspiracy theories as a reason for their exit.

Rosario Marin, former U.S. Treasury official, told the. News service, if it continues to be the party of Trump, many of us are not going to go back unless the Senate convicts him and rids themselves of the Trump cancer, many of us will not be going back to vote for Republican leaders.

Oh, so they're going to leave the party. Adam Kinzinger, whose group is going to try to take it back. Jimmy Gurule, a former Treasury undersecretary, added the Republican Party as he knew it no longer exists. He says, I'd call it the cult of Trump. Christopher Purcell, Bush White House communications staffer, said the number of defections is growing every day.

So that's the whole dotcom story in this. Unless the Senate convicts it, hasn't that been learned that they don't have the votes to convict? There will not be a conviction they're going to go ahead with this anyway, but there will not be a conviction, right. So these guys are saying unless the Senate convicts him and ridge themselves of the Trump cancer, many of us are not going to go back. So they're. If there's no conviction, they're going to go back, they're not they're not going to go by, the Republican Party will never see them again.

You know, there's there is Democrat sponsored legislation right now it's pending that would prevent any public building or artifact, even a bench. For being named after the 47th president, even a bench. You know, I just put a bench in my backyard, I'm going to go out of town to put a plaque on it, Donald J. Trump Memorial Bench, see if somebody comes after me. Actually, Katherine put it out there, I would love to claim it's a beautiful mansion that they're sort of there, look at the ocean.

But listen, this is. For folks. Every one of these people knew you keep coming back to this fact that everybody knew.

About this contrived effort to cover up the behavior of the people. Who were attempting to get rid of Donald Trump, the more this goes on and the more the American people learn, they're going to learn how to rush. I mean, if everything's corrupt, how long is this going to go? You've got to understand something, folks, and don't don't argue with me. We're at a point here where it's still safe to say the majority, a majority of the American people still don't quite know the truth of everything.

And the reason I say that is important is because we haven't reached the threshold yet of public awareness and knowledge, which would create the pushback to this. I guarantee you, you just do a random man on the street interview, grab anybody you want, start talking to him about the Mueller investigation and you'll find very few. Who will be able to tell you that it was bogus, that it was never legitimate? You'll find people to this day who still think.

That it was a worthwhile thing to do, that if if the president of the United States had indeed stolen election, we needed to get to the bottom of it. That's what you'll hear most people say you will not yet hear. Most people say that was bogus. There was never any evidence this thing was a total fraudulent investigation. Libby, we're not there yet. You've got to remember that the whatever percentage of American people that only get their news from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Washington Post, New York Times don't know anything.

People that got their news here know the truth, people that get their news from Fox News, they know a lot of the truth.

But we're not anywhere near the threshold. Of a significant percentage of the American population yet realizing, well, what about the 75 million? I know, but I'm even in that 75 million. You have a large number who think Trump beat the investigation. You're not going to find a majority of people who think the investigation was totally. Made up bogus and irrelevant. You're not going to find that yet, that that knowledge has not yet. Then disseminated widely enough in the American population.

So if you're wondering why hasn't there been pushback, the fact that everything is rigged, most people don't yet know the extent of it. Is the answer to that question, the other version of this story of U.S. News exclusive, dozens of former Bush officials leave Republican Party calling it a Trump cult. So it's basically a rehash of the of the whole dotcom story, quoting different Bush administration officials.

But they're all leaving the party. Rather than trying to recapture the party, it doesn't say where they're going to go. They they hope that a Trump defeat would lead party leaders to move on from Trump and denounce his claims that the November election. Can I ask you another question? What is so hellbent about that? What what what what if so what? Trump thinks the election was stolen. So what? Why is this something that everybody has to swear to as though it is a religious requirement that you can't worship unless you acknowledge this?

And the Democrats have put this out. The Biden is the media, they're all saying, you have got to admit, you cannot say, you cannot admit, you cannot speculate that the 2020 election was not legitimate. You must swear that it was Y. Well, who does these kinds of things? Communist organizations demand this. Socialist organizations demand fealty. In terms of mind thought. It's communist tell you how you must think, in addition to how you must live and behave, but they don't stop it, that how you must think.

You are committing a crime against the state if you even allege or allude to the fact that this election was not legitimate. So here come these former Bush officials. They hoped that a Trump defeat. Would lead Republican Party leaders to move on from Trump and denounce his claims that the November presidential election was stolen. But with many Republican lawmakers sticking to Trump, these officials say they no longer recognize the party they served. Some have ended their membership, others are letting it lapse, while a few are newly registered as independents.

This according to a dozen former Bush officials who spoke with Reuters and here's Jimmy Gurule quoted again the Republican Party as I knew it no longer exists, I'd call it the cult of Trump.

So what if Trump wants to think? Why is it mandatory? That Trump come out and say. That he thinks Biden legitimately, why, because it's necessary for the peaceful transition of power. No, it isn't, because we've got that. We had a peaceful transition of power, who's in the White House, Biden. Did anybody try to stop him? No. What about January 6th, as far as I know, Biden's in the White House, who gave your inauguration speech?

Biden. Who prevented people from showing up and hearing it? Biden. The Washington establishment made sure that there was no crowd at the Biden inauguration, Trump had nothing to do with any of that. Trump can't determine who shows up and who doesn't. It's not his show, it's Biden's show. When did Hillary Clinton swear that Trump's election was legit, when was she said to have to do this, Hillary Clinton was allowed for four years to claim that Trump's election was illegitimate.

Stacey Abrams. Stacey Abrams for four years has run around calling her the governor herself the governor of Georgia. What is more cultlike than making somebody swear to something it isn't true? Hillary Clinton was not elected president, and yet she's out there for four years maintaining she was. And her supporters believe that she was. I'm telling you. Folks, there's no cult like behavior here from Donald Trump. This is eerie stuff, this is really strange and eerie stuff.

Joe Biden was inaugurated, he gave his speech, he's issuing executive orders, he's doing his best to wipe out every bit of evidence that Trump was ever present. What do you mean? That's a cult like Trump, people preventing the peaceful transfer of power. There's no such thing. We had a peaceful transfer of power. As evidenced by the fact that Biden is in there and nobody tried to stop him. And yet these people continue to claim. That until Trump comes out.

And claims that Biden is the legitimate winner, that we're not going to have a complete peaceful transfer of power. What a crock. What an absolute crock. Mind control, thought control. You name it, the stuff never stops with these people. I have to take a break. We'll be back and continue before you know it.

Truly talented college professors derive immense satisfaction in their wrongs by seeing students learn and become all the more educated. It is a huge sense of achievement. And you've likely had a college or high school instructor that connected with you in that way. Everybody has a favorite teacher. May not have been the nicest, may not have been the funniest. I guarantee you it was your favorite teacher. More than likely, our exceptions is going to be the teacher that got more out of you than you thought you had in you.

A teacher who displayed their passion for the subject that infected you made all the difference in your learning. Now imagine a full roster of those kinds of professors in one place, and you can do that at Hillsdale College. They have taken their classroom lectures and created online video courses for you to learn from at home at no charge. They love teaching, they love having people know what they do at Hillsdale and they can't have everybody in the country on campus, so this is how they take it to you.

Hillsdale and their professors have done this for the last 10 years. They were inspired to start with teaching of the Constitution, it's required learning on their campus. You got to know it front to back. They have a passion at Hillsdale for teaching. Our nation's greatest document to everybody, once they saw your own reception, the online course, they added a host of others. There now courses on all aspects of our history, the greatest books of all time, how a free market economy operates so much more.

Now, if you find yourself interested in learning more this year, consider Hillsdale. These courses are free to you, no strings attached. It's been part of their mission to educate Americans for more than a hundred and seventy five years. Very simple rush for Hillsdale Dotcom. That's where you register and sign up, no strings attached and start accessing these various online lectures. 40 minutes, 45 minutes. Same stuff taught in the classroom. Rush for Hillsdale Dotcom.

OK, Margaret, San Jose, California. I'm glad you waited. You are next time.

Hi. Hi, Rush. Hey, my pleasure and honor to speak with you. I want to let you know, first of all, that I sent your name to Lord France for the Order of Malta for your healing. I want to say to you, you're you're scaring me and you're confusing me, because last week several people have called in and said that we've lost our republic. And then you answer, well, I hope you haven't lost hope, but you continually say every day they drilled into our heads that everything is rigged, that they're going to make certain Democrats are going to make certain that they never lose again.

They're going to pack the courts. They're going to give statehood.

I said they're going to try. We have I just I just said and I'm glad you called. I just said we haven't reached anywhere near the threshold of public opinion being informed on this most Americans. Simply, how would you say that half the American people access the news via ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, Washington Post? Answer's yes, if they if they do, it means they don't listen to this program, it means they do not know the extent to which the game is rigged against them.

They're going to find out at some point. They don't know yet. We haven't reached the threshold.

But what kind of power do we have? We they have the media. They have the corrupt federal agencies. They have the corrupt Republicans and weak Republicans.

Why are they so afraid of Donald Trump being born again from the ashes? Why are they so there?

They don't think they've won this yet, but they cheated him the first time. How they're going to do it again. He hasn't got a prayer to try and run again. 2024, I think. I don't think. I don't.

I don't well, I don't know what they're going to succeed in doing with Trump, but I refuse to. These people's days of losing are over. That's not true. They're going to lose and they're going to lose big down the road. This is not what the American people want and they're going to find out.

So you think we have the people have power to do something, even though. Yes, it's called informing everybody. I do think that power exists. Absolutely.

OK, well, I needed hope. I need some hope here because I'm feeling like there is no hope.

Well, you also need truth. You need reality, which is what we deal with here.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, stick with me on this. We had news today about how many thousands of Americans who work at the Keystone pipeline had no idea what was coming. They had no idea Biden was going to shut it down yet we had all this talk of the Green New Deal during the campaign. And all this talk of the Green New Deal mentioned what was going to happen to oil and gas, it mentioned proudly, happily what was going to happen to coal.

And yet the Democrat Party still voted for these people. Unionized workers still voted for these people. What does it tell you? Tells you they don't know what the hell they're voting for. They're voting for somebody with a D next to their name. That's all that mattered. They had been convinced that Trump was a bad guy, that Trump was this and that he had to go. Well, guess what? They're going to find out. They're going to find out Trump was protecting him.

They're going to find out Trump was the reason they had a job. The Keystone XL. They're going to find out. That just like in West Virginia, other places, that Trump is the reason they had jobs in the coal industry, most of them already know, in fact, Keystone XL is a different thing. They're going to find out in Portland and in Seattle that it was the Democrat governors there that perpetuated that mess, not Trump. The media blamed Trump for nine months for all the civil unrest in Democrat cities and states.

So these Keystone XL pipeline workers now John Kerry's out telling them, well. You're going to have even more if you go out and sell solar panels, you think that's what they want. They are acting exactly as what you would expect, people who didn't know what was coming, the act. And I'll guarantee you, a bunch of people that work at the Keystone pipeline voted for Biden, just guarantee a lot of them are union people. You vote for the Democrat, I guarantee you.

They're not going to be happy with this. And there will be pushback the more John Kerry and these guys keep talking about their future is selling solar panels. There's going to be a pushback at some point, we're just not there yet. You think we are because you listen to this program and everybody listen to this program, but everybody doesn't. Vast majority of Americans still watch ABC, CBS, NBC and read The New York Times and The Washington Post, and that's the competition.

And we know that they lie. We know that their fake news, we know they're making it up, but we know that people read them and watch them treat them as gospel. They're the Bible. You remember last weekend we had the audio sound bite of this George Stephanopoulos tried two or three times to force Rand Paul, senator from Kentucky, to admit on TV that the election was legitimate. Come on, just say it, Senator, just say it like it was the most important thing in the world that he had to say.

Stephanopoulos was screaming at Senator Paul saying, Why can't you say it, the election of Biden was totally legitimate. I said, this is weird. What does it matter? Georgia guys in the White House, what the hell does it matter what Senator Paul thinks? Senator Paul, by the way, never said it, he refused to give Stephanopoulos what he wanted. But this is the thing when the left cannot win an argument and they know that they're wrong, they scream at you to just agree with them.

And that's what that's what was happening on a Sunday show, I think was a good. Yeah, good morning. Now, is that whatever this week with George Stephanopoulos.

Just say it, why can't you say what difference it make, George? But it mattered it mattered that Rand Paul say it because Stephanopoulos knows it isn't the fact that he thinks it is. And this is how you win it by forcing your opposition to admit it. Forcing. Thankfully, he didn't. Here is in Gillette, Wyoming. Great to have you, sir. Glad you waited. Your next on the EIB Network. Hi.

Hey, Russ, I just want to say what an honor to speak to you, make your prayers, make it did is to you and Kathleen. My comment is on the commy there. It's about reclaiming the mine lands. Yes. She's just assuming that we just go out here and we just tear up the land and leave it that reclamation is a part of the business. You could go out to any of these mines in Wyoming, drive up to him.

You wouldn't know where they'd mind unless you had some plans before.

What you're saying is that she's the one that doesn't know about reclamation of land acting like she does, whereas you people do know and yet she's treating you like a bunch of closet don't.

Yes, exactly that. She's just so far out in her old world. They're so far out in their own world. They just think that, hey, they just go out and rape the land, take the coal, just leave the ground open. Just leave it just and that's just not the case. I don't know what it's like in West Virginia, but I'm assuming it's the same way because it's such a highly regulated.

It's exactly what they think about anything environmental that the middle class and the people that make any money off of it are destroying the land and destroying the environment, destroying the planet. It's an article of faith in their religion. She just assumes that everybody is doing this and that she and her group want to protect the planet from predators like you. Right. Well, she wouldn't. I mean, the last thing I'd have to say is this land, when we put it back, it's a it's almost better than it was when it when it was stripped, basically because we run strip mines in Wyoming.

Right.

But it's basically it's no different than the timber industry. The timber industry plants something like three to four trees for every one they chop down. And I've mentioned that statistic to a lot of people, right? You know what you're talking about? We got we got much less forest land today. No, we don't. We have as much, if not more. At the founding of the country, that statistic blows them away because they think we're down to practically nothing.

And the founding of the country, we didn't have motorized saws or anything, we just, you know, it was the frozen tundra out there, but.

The timber industry warehouser all these people, they plant for every tree they cut down, they plant four to five more. And you know what? There are forests whose only purpose is to create trees. For what? Yeah, that's right, they're in the business of growing wood, wood is a very powerful commodity, it's very strong. It has so many uses. You can make a beautiful piano. Out of a tree trunk, you can make a gorgeous Stravinsky violin.

Out of wood, you can also build homes out of wood. They are. A commonly used American commodity, and the people in that business need to make sure they're not going to run out of it. And so for every tree they cut down, they plant four to five more just to ensure that they're going to at least be at replacement levels.

How business how stupid of them would it be to start raping the land? And eventually get to the point where there are no trees left there, there's no wood business, there's no timber industry. Why would they do this? They wouldn't they would want to continue an ongoing supply.

Of trees, because trees equal would equal their business. You try telling that to environmental wacko that you'll lose them 10 minutes, 10 seconds in a conversation because they believe. That the timber industry is a bunch of predators and rapists and they're raping the land and they're destroying it. Just like every other environmental wacko has been lied to about whatever part of the environment they care about. Anyway, let's take a quick time out and be back and continue after this.

You know, television crime shows they don't display cyber crimes that happen every day. They'll get around to it. But right now they don't. Maybe it's because the bad guys involved don't look anywhere near as dangerous as somebody wielding a weapon could be any number of things. Cyber hackers sit behind their computers. There's not much action. They're just typing away on their keyboards, doing what they do. I mean, there is likely to be sitting near by you in a coffee shop just waiting for you to access free Wi-Fi while you wait for an order to be filled.

And they're busy trying to steal everything they can about your account. It's hard to put into action on a crime show. But literally, they don't need any more time than what this takes in a minute's time, they've spotted you online, they have deposited malware on your computer or your iPhone or your your pipe and whatever you're using. And all that's left is for you to innocent click on a link. That's all they're waiting for. Even you know what the latest is, how many of you get emails from what are said to be mailing lists and there's this word unsubscribe.

If you're tired of receiving the mailing list, you go, yeah, I don't want. And you click on be very careful.

If you are not already receiving. E blasts from that outfit don't click on Unsubscribe the first time you get an email blast from from somebody offering you to unsubscribe, don't click on it. That is a phishing link. You don't have a problem if it's the first one you've seen. So just delete it and go on. Do not hit unsubscribe. That's the latest trick. How else can you protect yourself? Well, my friends, it's a rather easy Norton three sixty Norton 360 includes a VPN and when you download the virtual private network software to your phones and laptop, you activate it and your devices are immediately invisible.

They're hidden. The cyber hacker could be seated right next to you, could be looking at your screen, cannot see your connection on his device. It's hidden, it's invisible. It will not be seen by anybody. That's the beauty of a VPN. You are anonymous online and out of the sites of cyber hackers.

Protection Software Norton 360 again Norton dot com slash rush OK, folks, you know me, I'm a person fascinated with tech such as what your phone can do, your your eye devices, your computer, what have you. But there's something coming up that literally amazes me. And it's it's a.

It's a thing that just boggles my mind that we as human beings have the power to do this.

NASA is about to land another rover on Mars. It's called Perseverence. It's scheduled to land on November the 18th, I believe.

The landing sequence is automated. So NASA engineers can't do anything but sit back and hope for the best. Well, what are the obstacles? Well, the spacecraft has about 25 million miles to go in its 292 million mile trip. It's currently closing the distance at one point, six miles per second. Now, once at the top of the Martian atmosphere, an action packed seven minutes begin. That is the time of the descent through the Martian atmosphere to the surface of the planet.

In addition, or as part of this, the temperatures that will reach the surface of the spacecraft. Will be equivalent to the temperatures on the surface of the sun. And it will not melt if all goes well, it will not evaporate. It will not vaporize. It will not be destroyed. It will be able to withstand. Temperatures equivalent to the surface of the sun. Then the first supersonic parachute inflation happens, all of this has to happen on a sequence that controllers will have no control over.

Because of the distance between Mars and Earth. Controlling the spacecraft in real time is out of the question. It takes minutes. For a command from NASA on Earth to reach. The Perseverence Rover. So it's up to the spacecraft and the software that's been written. To execute. Numerous tasks. At split second timing. And it also has to account for any variables that could threaten the dissent and land, it has to recognize something out of whack and make it adjustment, make it adaption, because unlike landing on the moon.

The moon's close enough, quote unquote, where we could send alternate landing instructions, but Mars is so far away that all we can do is sit there and watch for seven minutes. As this spacecraft spacecraft plummets, the Martian atmosphere reaches temperatures equivalent to the surface of the sun. Parachutes have to deploy, it has to land at the exact speed, if it doesn't, damage could happen. The rover could be destroyed at any phase. Of this landing, and nobody can stop it if something goes wrong.

Because of how long it takes. A command instruction sent from Earth to reach the rover. Which at this point in time will be in orbit around Mars. Now, this just fascinates me and I understand these controllers are going to be biting their nails and going nuts during these seven minutes, being unable.

To correct anything and for much of the seven minutes, because of the heat generated by reentry, they won't be able to have any communication with the rover at all. But even so, whatever communication they get would be delayed because of how far Mars is. Anyway, I got to take a break.

I just noticed the clock. The time be back in just a second. Well, my friends, that's it, yet another excursion into broadcast excellence in the Ken. Enjoyed being with you today. Always do and look forward to the to the next time, thanks to Markstein, who has been in standby mode all day, wasn't sure I was going to be able to go today. And then each hour I had to assess, but we made it.

Thank you, Mr. Stein. See you all next time.

Big tech is doing everything they can to silence conservative news stories and conservative voices. So you might wonder, what am I not saying that they won't allow me to see on their platforms? The good news is our podcast, the Ben Ferguson podcast, covers the news stories every day that they won't let you see. That's right. You'll get the news stories they're hiding from you. So be sure to listen to the Ben Ferguson podcast on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

Everywhere we turn, there they were and more were coming, spilling into every opening around us. It seemed like they were calling out to each other telepathically, get them fresh meat. I thought the only way out was to give in and go with them. But just as I started to follow their leader, it hit me.

Adriana's hand met my cheek. Yeah, I slapped him with one quick strike to the face. SNAP out of it. Patrick, let's get the hell out of here. And that's when we made a run for it through the only opening in the crowd. We were only a few feet from making it out. When they blocked us in again, we were goners.
