Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Yes, America's anchorman is resting up today, resting up hopes to be back tomorrow for open line Friday. And in the absence of America's anchorman, this is your undocumented anchorman, Markstein, thrilled and honored to be here. No supporting paperwork whatsoever.

[00:00:28]

I'm a foreign exchange student at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. I think I'm in my. 15TH year of study here at the Limbaugh Institute of an Advanced Conservative Studies, it's pretty much like taking a bachelors in transgender studies anywhere in the United States.

[00:00:54]

Great pleasure to be with you today. We are a couple of days away from the beginning of the re impeachment trial, first re impeachment trial in American history. That's coming up next week. You know, every so often in the last week and a half, however long it is, two weeks today, I think it's two weeks since the Biden administration took office. In the last two weeks. Every so often I'll switch on the radio. Switch on the TV, pick up a newspaper, and I'll hear people talking about, oh, who do you like for 2024?

[00:01:28]

And they'll be talking to senators and governors and asking them whether they're ready to indicate any interest for 2024, whether they're interested in perhaps exploring the possibility of setting up an exploratory committee for 2024.

[00:01:45]

And these so you hear this thing.

[00:01:48]

Who do you like for 2024? I don't like anybody for 2024. And in fact, I can tell you who I don't like for 2021. I don't like people who talk like this. I don't like people in 2021 who talk about who do you like in 2024 for? We have no idea what's going to be happening. In 2024, undoubtedly, Chairman Zevin now is working on covid 23 and who knows how much more effective that's going to be in four years time.

[00:02:22]

So who knows how many of these would be presidential candidates are even going to be walking around in 2024.

[00:02:30]

But beyond that, there's a bigger problem.

[00:02:33]

And and it bothers me when I see news covered in a normal way when we are not in a normal situation.

[00:02:42]

For me, and I'm setting aside just to be clear here, because I know they're a very touchy senior executive, deputy assistant under vice presidents and some of the companies that own some of the radio stations you're listening to this show on. And they've said that if you start querying the election, you're out of, hey, you're fired. They're going to pull the plug. And in 15 seconds time, you listeners are going to have to put up with Celine Dion singing the theme from Titanic because they don't want people talking about electoral football.

[00:03:12]

Setting aside electoral fraud.

[00:03:15]

We are in a post political environment here. I looked on the switch on the news a couple of days ago, and there's these senators, various moderate reach across the aisle type senators, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, about 10 of them. And they've all been they've all been taken over for a meeting in the Oval Office with with Joe Biden.

[00:03:40]

And they were all sitting. You can see that Susan Collins is excited to be in the Oval Office because it appears that she's being taken seriously by the guy behind the desk, Joe Biden. And what none of these bandits reported on, as if it's a perfectly normal news story and we're back in the 1980s and President Reagan is having a beer with Tip O'Neill, and it's nothing of the kind. We are in a post political environment. Mr. Snidely mentioned to me just before we came on air the Democrats plan in the House to remove Marjorie Taylor Green from her committee assignments.

[00:04:22]

Karl Rove is on board with this. By the way. Karl was on TV talking about how, you know, it's up to the electors in Georgia to send whoever they want to Congress. But that doesn't mean you get to sit on the prestigious, as I think did he say, prestigious Distinguished Education Labor Committee? Was that it? Education and labor, education, labor? I don't know what that is. A teachers union committee. It's the committee for determining whether it'll be safe for the teachers unions to send their members back to school in the year 2027.

[00:04:56]

Whatever it is, they want to yank this Marjorie Taylor Green from her prestigious House committee assignments. Marjorie Taylor Gray. Nobody ever heard of her until a week and a half ago. She's now the most famous woman on the planet. Apart from Oprah, the queen and Michelle Obama, she's got universal name recognition. A lot of people like her for 2024 because she's far more famous than any of these other would be presidential candidates. And she's got because she's alleged to have some kooky views, some not so views, some conspiracy theory views.

[00:05:34]

So the Democrats want to remove her from the committee, as this is one of these parliamentary things where the the Republican Party lost.

[00:05:47]

But the loses in a parliamentary system as a courtesy get to choose which of the loser party gets to choose, which of its loser members get to fill their seats on the committees. It's just like a professional courtesy in magnanimity victory, as Churchill used to say.

[00:06:07]

So the winners are the Democrats and the Republicans are the losers. And the Republicans make such good losers. It's nice to let the losers pick which of their loser members they'd like to take the loser seats on the committees. So it's a small piffling parliamentary thing when the Democrats decide to expel the designated loser of the loser party from the loser seats on the committee.

[00:06:33]

And yet that is what the Democrats are planning to do over this Marjorie Taylor Green person, because we're in a post political moment, there is no politics anymore. What the Democrats are doing is the phase that comes after politics. Here's another story that demonstrates that from the Military Times. The defense secretary orders 60 days stand down to confront extremism in the military. This is after. The, quote, January 6th, attack on the capital, unquote, which wasn't an attack on the capital, by the way, if you've ever seen attacks on legislatures, you'll know that this wasn't one.

[00:07:19]

So they they're now having a 60 day stand down to weed out extremists in the military. What do they mean by extremists in the military? Well, they're going to go through the social media accounts of service members.

[00:07:37]

The military knows it has a problem with domestic extremists and white supremacists in their ranks, report Megan Myers and Leo Shane, the third in the military times. So now we have a situation where the defense secretary is ordering a 60 day stand down in all the services, presumably including the space force that Jen Psaki thinks is a joke to discover, to go through every service member for his political affiliations, for his social media accounts, to find out how many domestic terrorists are in the US military.

[00:08:19]

And when they get all of them out there, we're going to have a much more slimmed down, streamlined military. And that may be good news for military budgeting. Again, this is not normal.

[00:08:30]

This is the sort of thing investigating the political beliefs of the men in your army is the sort of thing that Saddam used to do, Saddam Hussein, the late Saddam Hussein, before he picked out members of his Republican Guard whose personal loyalty was to him. So this seems to be Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's attempt to do something similar to that.

[00:08:57]

Again, we're having serious proposals for domestic terrorism legislation. The New York Times is suggesting that there be an umbrella agency to combat the disinformation that is out there by disinformation, what the New York Times means, anything that disagrees with the official version. So, for example, if you want to quote a Scandinavian study that suggests that masks don't do anything, it's not just that Facebook and YouTube and Twitter will put a health warning on your little tweet or Facebook post about that or in some cases, take it down because you're contradicting the official version.

[00:09:46]

It's not just that they are these big tech don't want you contradicting the official version. The New York Times is saying, no, no, that's not enough. We actually need a government agency.

[00:09:58]

And what they're proposing is a so-called realities are they don't they're not even aware that they're just lifting directly from George Orwell now.

[00:10:09]

So where in a post political age, in other words, Susan Collins isn't going to cut it and he knows that Biden, Biden sitting there, he's having a nice cup of tea and some ginger cookies with Susan Collins and Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski. And he's talking about, although it's so wonderful to reach across the aisle. And then he says as soon as they've left the building, I screw it. We're just going to go ahead and do it on our own anyway.

[00:10:36]

People people thinking that this is just the normal seesaw of politics. No, they're galloping ahead very fast and they're putting in they're putting in place systems which will actually make it. If you if you think this election was screwed, they're going to make it very difficult to fight honest elections. Again, that doesn't matter whether you're talking about the fair media coverage of your issues, whether you're talking about being given a fair shake in the parliamentary maneuverings, it doesn't matter whether you're talking about the honest representation of events.

[00:11:20]

They're very fast. These guys, the different. There's a difference aside from being asked who I like for. 2024, the other thing I notice is switch on TV, switch on the radio, there's still people who are excited about the Durham report, even though this one guy who was fingered by Durham and actually indicted and agreed to play this guy who was the deputy assistant under-secretary of paper clips at the FBI, and he failed to put a paper clip on the motion he laid before the FISA court.

[00:11:56]

That guy, the only guy in indicted and the only guy to be criminally convicted on their side. And he got a slap on the wrist and 27 hours of community service if you're on the other side. Your life, like Michael Flynn, your life is ruined, your savings are drained, your family members are threatened, your life is over, you're done. And if you're on the McCabe Comi Brandyn Klapper side, it's just I've been in the mob.

[00:12:29]

You find you find some minor guy right there at the back of the room, some young fellow who's willing to take the rap and and he gets 27 hours of community service.

[00:12:41]

We are in we're actually in a post political. There is nothing about the normal conduct of politics about this.

[00:12:49]

This is nothing. This has nothing to do. We said, oh, well, this reminds me of the time that Richard Nixon said to no, no, no, it's nothing to do with any of that. It's the the Democrats are erecting essentially a post political order here in which normal political politics becomes impossible. And they are serious about that.

[00:13:13]

One 800 two eight eight two is the number to go. We have Mr. Studley, the world's greatest coal screener. He's going to screen your calls. And if you get past, it's no dishonor to fall before Mr. Snidely and get crushed like a bug by him when you first get through on the telephone. But if you get past him, we would love to have you on the show one 800 to eight to 288 to crash. So well named when it comes to nursing the guest host through the process crash is making sure that everything works in our New York studios.

[00:13:54]

And I'm here at Ice Station EIB, just a stone's throw from the Canadian border because who doesn't like throwing stones at the Canadian border? There's nothing else to do as we approach the first anniversary of a locked down world.

[00:14:08]

Markstein on America's number one radio show, lots more.

[00:14:12]

Still to come, Markstein information. America's number one radio show. Hunter Biden is in April. Two months time, he's going to publish a memoir with Simon and Schuster. They're the publishers who canceled who canceled Senator Hallie's book deal because he's a domestic terrorist or whatever the rationale was.

[00:14:38]

He I believe he wanted to query the auditing of the certification of the whatever. And so he's a domestic terrorist. So they didn't want to publish his book. But they are publishing Hunter Biden's memoir. It's called beautiful things, I don't know what they are, the beautiful things that are referred to in the title are presumably nymphet hookers and really great crack. But Hunter is publishing a book called Beautiful Things in April, so he hasn't wasted any time, April the 6th that's straight out of the gate.

[00:15:17]

And he's already because he hasn't he hasn't cashed in on his dad's name enough yet. There's no way you got to have like a flood the zone approach to these things. Has he actually got a children's book out? Is he is he doing Hunter Biden the musical yet? I can't wait. Hunter Biden's memoir, Beautiful Things coming on April the 6th. I mentioned this thing, you know, the so-called terrorist attack. You know, if it was a terrorist attack, do you remember?

[00:15:46]

And I feel pretty insulted about this because I've lived in countries that had terrorist movements and so I know what domestic terrorist movement is.

[00:15:57]

I lived in the United Kingdom when during the so-called Northern Irish troubles. I don't know what it's like to have your tube station, a subway station blown up and the little newsagent e pass, who sold you the newspaper every other day, killed.

[00:16:18]

I know what it's like in Quebec. I mean, nobody took the phone. Do Liberacion to Kobelke the Liberation Front terribly seriously, but they kidnapped and killed the deputy premier of Quebec and left his body in a trunk at the airport.

[00:16:35]

I know something about domestic terrorism, and you do, too, because as you know, when there was a terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001, the first thing you were told is that you had to go about normal life because otherwise the terrorists will have won. If you don't go shopping, the terrorists will have won. If you don't go to the multiplex, the terrorists will have won. That's what the Bush administration told you all the time.

[00:17:04]

It was it was accepted as the natural order of things that if you if you suddenly hunker down, change the way you do things, then you're handing the terrorists an enormous victory. And if you do that, the terrorists will have won. If you change the way of your way of life, the terrorists will have won with this terrorist attack. The terrorists have won because we're changing everything. We're now told that walls that don't work on the southern border do work when they're around the United States capital to protect legislators from the people.

[00:17:39]

We're told that we have to have a massive domestic terrorism bill to crack down on domestic terrorism.

[00:17:47]

We're told that there are white supremacist groups all over the country that we have to now weed them out.

[00:17:54]

They might be in the army, they might be in the police. We have to go through it all. And so in 911 terms, where if you don't go about your normal routine, the terrorists have won. This time round, you have to change everything you do. You have to think very carefully about posting on on Facebook that you think the election results in Georgia are a bit iffy and not terribly, terribly reliable. This is opportune opportunism by the ruling party to, in effect, criminalize opposition to the ruling party.

[00:18:36]

That's what they're doing.

[00:18:39]

Markstein in US on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. We hope to have Rush back in time for Open Line Friday tomorrow. He's resting up today and we wish him well. But, you know, there's lots of rush out there in all manner of media. And the best way to get access to them all is to go to Rush Limbaugh dot com and become a Rush 24/7 subscriber.

[00:19:10]

You can also subscribe to the Limbaugh letter while you're there.

[00:19:13]

I love the Limbaugh letter. Long after The New York Times has gone out of business, the Limbaugh letter will still be being read.

[00:19:21]

Each month. Rush breaks down what is happening around the world, as I always say, my favorite bit where he just takes these little inconsequential, what I call spirit of the spirit of the Times stories, portents of tomorrow stories. These little inconsequent. They used to be on the foot of page 37 back when they had print newspapers. And Russia has like two or three pages. Just terrific roundup of all these little stories that collectively tell you of the nightmare we're heading into.

[00:19:55]

You can go to Rush Limbaugh dot com and click on the button and subscribe to the Limbaugh letter.

[00:20:03]

And it's fantastic. It's like a Greek state pension in Greece. They get a thirteen monthly payments every year if you're a Greek worker on a state pension.

[00:20:17]

And that's just like the Limbaugh letter. If you take out a subscription for twelve issues, you get thirteen issues and you can order that today in print or digital form according to taste at Rush Limbaugh dot com.

[00:20:31]

The other thing you can do is four days like this because it's it's not it's not a treatment day. He's not being zapped by his doctors or anything like that. Rush is just. Resting up today, and he loves to get your messages, and if you look at the home page at Rush Limbaugh dot com just above the banner saying The Rush Limbaugh Show, you will see a button called Share Your Stories and you can send a special message to us.

[00:20:59]

You can tell him when you first heard the show, pretty much everybody remembers when they discovered Rush. I do, certainly. And that's a long time ago now. I would have to say I in fact, I can identify it pretty precisely. It was the the the fall of 1990.

[00:21:22]

And that's it was a great moment. And I never looked back.

[00:21:26]

And if you want to if you want to send a special greeting to Rush, you can do that by going to share your stories, which is at Rush Limbaugh dot com Markstein information.

[00:21:40]

As I said in a post, I think we're in a post political era. And I will say I will say this, you know, I tune in and I'm everyone's excited, but oh, yeah, there's this guy, you know, Durham reports coming and he's really cracking down. And, oh, this guy I can't even remember his name. And I could go and look it up, but it doesn't matter because he isn't anybody. He's the designated fall guy.

[00:22:03]

All the people who should be going to jail, the McCabe's and Khamees and Brannon's and Clappers, they all had a big dinner at some maybe at that French Laundry fancy restaurant with its 425 dollar appetizers that Gavin Newsom likes to go to in California. They all did. So they all have a big slap up dinner there with the 25 dollar appetizers and the 2000 dollar bottles of wine. And they said, who are you going to who are we going to, like, toss a bit of red meat to all those rubes still waiting for the Durham report.

[00:22:39]

And they find this guy who's the deputy under assistant secretary of paperclips, and he agrees to do 27 hours of community service.

[00:22:49]

And we get all excited about that because finally, finally, there's a reckoning for the interference and the attempt to steal the 2016 election, which is how many years ago. Now, meanwhile, the Democrats have moved on to stealing the 2024 election because they're always looking ahead. And we'll still be waiting for the Durham report the day after the Democrats have stolen the 2024 election because they're a forward looking party. They're a forward looking party.

[00:23:23]

And I would just and I that's the thing to bear in mind about.

[00:23:29]

About the impeachment trial next week, which is obviously a constitutional nonsense and a travesty of a farrago and all the rest of it. But the point the point is, I think a lot of people on the right are missing the point about this, the. The left are saying, oh, Trump, Maxine Waters has been saying that Trump should be charged with premeditated homicide, which is certainly a high crime or misdemeanor, a premeditated homicide for his role in what happened at the Capitol.

[00:24:06]

So she they're still taking it seriously that this guy is going to be he's going to be cold, that they're pretending to take it seriously.

[00:24:16]

Meanwhile, the right is saying there are no well where process oriented as usual.

[00:24:21]

So there's they want enough votes. They need to get 17 Republicans to vote to convict Trump. So this they're never going to get 17. They might get Mitsch, they might get Susie Collins, they might get a couple of others, but they're never going to get 217 Republicans willing to convict. So this whole thing is a complete waste of time. It's a distraction from the important business of whatever the Senate would be doing if it wasn't holding some joke of a trial.

[00:24:53]

Complete joke of a trial where one of the jurors, Pat Leahy, gets to serve as the judge of the trial. I mean, you know, but that missing the point, the Democrats are moving on. They always don't underestimate the Democrats because they're far sighted and they're focused and they're looking into the future, which is where doing all this rearview mirror stuff with this guy who's getting 27 hours of community service for trying to steal the 2016 election. They're doing all this we're doing all this rearview mirror stuff, they're looking at the distant horizon and they figure that Trump is toast.

[00:25:41]

They don't really care about if we convict him, it'll ensure that he can't run again in 2024 because they think the Democrats think that in 2024, Trump will either be living in exile abroad, fighting extradition or he'll be in jail. That's how they think they're not planning on any Trump candidacy candidacy in 2024 because they think that all the various Lilliputians have ensnared him like Gulliver, with things like these suits against him from the from the U.S. attorney in New York and with the impeachment and with the Scottish government saying they don't want him coming to live at his Scottish property.

[00:26:31]

And with the Mar a Lago people saying he shouldn't be allowed to live at his resort full time, he's ensnared by a thousand Lilliputians and he's got Gulliver on his back. And every time he turns to loosen one strand, there's some other Lilliputian tying another little strand to his to his finger on the other side.

[00:26:53]

So they're not thinking about Trump. They're thinking they moved on to the next Trump. The reason they're doing this is to is to teach anybody from outside the narrow, permitted boundaries of politics that this is what you have. Let's suppose that there is somebody from outside politics who fancies getting into electoral politics in this country.

[00:27:18]

And you switch on the you're thinking, gee, none of these politicians I keep giving money to actually seem to do anything. So maybe I'd like to try my hand at it. And then you switch on the TV and there's this guy who used to be on to have his own TV show, used to be squiring supermodel's to Broadway openings, used to have a great life, used to get invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding. And they used to be a man about town, a bon vivant.

[00:27:47]

And now he's ensnared by a thousand predators on all sides trying to trying to finish him off. Would you really want to be a Trump point, too? Would you really want to be the next Trump? They're doing this to that, and that's why they're doing this. Oh, Ted Cruz, the AOC, Ted Cruz, Ted Ted Cruz tried to murder me on January the 6th. Josh Hall should be kicked out of Margaritaville. The Greens should just be kicked off her committees.

[00:28:22]

But Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz should actually be expelled from the Senate. They're doing that to say, look, do you really want to go into politics on the Republican conservative side? Just leave it to us. You go into some other field, you become an accountant or a realtor. You really don't want to get mixed up in this game because it means the complete destruction of everything you hold dear. So this impeachment trial is as much as anything else.

[00:28:52]

They'd like to get Trump. They'd like to get Trump. But their focus, the Democrats, and they also want to make sure there's no second Trump, third Trump, fourth Trump, and that anyone out there thinking about entering this dirty, stinking, rotten, corrupt game thinks, whew, no way I'm going to get mixed up in that Markstein inference.

[00:29:14]

This is America's number one radio show.

[00:29:17]

And we will go to your polls straight ahead.

[00:29:22]

Markstein information on the excellence in broadcasting that you know, so what you like about Chairman G and the Chinese Politburo.

[00:29:31]

But they they have their they have their moments. China's education ministry is concerned that Chinese men have become too feminine. So they're introducing a program to make Chinese boys more manly. It's called it's a school program. It's going to be mandatory, like pretty much everything in China. It's called the proposal to prevent the feminization of male adolescence, the proposal to prevent the feminization of male adolescence. Now, I know some of you are just out there a feinting.

[00:30:10]

Don't worry. Don't worry. This is China. No chance of that happening in America. It sounds like something rush it all the language if they change feminization to take a vacation. The proposal to prevent the chicken vacation, it could have come straight out of Russia's mouth. But don't worry about it. This is just the Chinese Education Ministry. No. Chance of that happening with Joe Biden's education ministry. Let's go to Jeff in Colorado Springs. It's terrific to have you, Jeff, your first stop on America's number one radio show.

[00:30:41]

Great to have you with us. Thanks for taking my call. Hey, this morning, when you were doing your monologue, you were talking about the 60 day military stand down to root out domestic terrorism. Kind of took me back to the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. Oh, no. With 13 people were killed in and I just don't remember that 60 day stand down to root out. I don't know whether that was domestic terrorism or international terrorism. No, I think it was workplace workplace violence, if I remember right.

[00:31:15]

But I'm hoping that has been rooted out of the military. But I guess I'm wondering about that. What are your thoughts?

[00:31:23]

Well, you know, you make a very interesting point, Jeff, because the United States Army actually declined to charge Major Hasan with terrorism, even though he was actually in contact with people like Anwar Awlaki, the big guy who was out in the Middle East and was the inspiration for several of the when he was in the United States. He was the inspiration, the mentor of several of the 9/11 guys. And then he went overseas and and this guy, Major Hasan, was in regular email contact with him.

[00:32:00]

And the U.S. Army just thought that was, quote, consistent with his research interests, unquote. So they wouldn't charge him with terrorism. They were very keen to say that. They say, well, he's the only terrorist who's actually given a PowerPoint presentation to the bosses of his victims. Before he carried out the attack, he gave a PowerPoint presentation, basically saying about why it was justified for believers to kill Americans.

[00:32:35]

And he gave it to a roomful of army brass. And all of them thought well, privately thought, well, this guy seems a little bit excitable on some of these issues, but they didn't want to take it any farther because they knew they'd be consigned to sensitivity training hell, for the next eight weeks. So he gave a PowerPoint presentation on what he wanted to do. And then he went out to Fort Hood and he did it.

[00:33:02]

And the not only did the U.S. Army not charge him with terrorism, but the secretary of the army, a complete boob and and very representative of the low quality of many of the general staff, actually said that as tragic as Fort Hood was, an even greater tragedy would be if we reacted to this by losing our diversity.

[00:33:28]

So they didn't do anything. That was just Major Hasan. No further lessons for anything else. And as you pointed out, this time around, suddenly we have to root out terrorism and that when there's an actual terrorist attack, when he kills, I think you said 13 people. It's 13 people and an unborn baby. I think actually, Jeff, and we shouldn't forget that poor kid who never got a life because Major Hasan climbed on the table and started firing on his comrades.

[00:33:56]

And and that was not typical of anything.

[00:34:01]

No reason to look at the army for whether there might be more of this going on.

[00:34:06]

Everyone, even though he'd never been in control, in combat, everybody said he had PTSD, which is post-traumatic stress. You know, in other words, that's supposed to be after you've been in combat. He'd never been into combat, but he had pre post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the idiots seeking to explain it. So the complete opposite, that suddenly this one little thing at the Capitol is an excuse to root out, go through every branch of the U.S. military, even the Space Force guys.

[00:34:41]

There's only seven people who have, however, working in the space force. We got to go through everything and find out and root out and find out what the political beliefs of everybody is. Meanwhile, if you're communicating with Anwar al-Awlaki, like Major Hasan, that's just consistent with your research interests. Jeff, thank you very much for that call, Jeff. That is a very good point. When we have actual terrorism, the U.S. Army massages it as workplace violence.

[00:35:12]

Workplace violence could happen to anybody. He was just depressed. He went to the singles and he couldn't get a tumble. But when it's when it's something like January the 6th, we have to go root and branch through the United States military to go through every. Service members, Facebook and Twitter posts this, this is a racket they say they are basically creating. They they are inventing a domestic terrorism movement that does not exist. It's breathtaking in its audacity.

[00:35:48]

Markstein for us, lots more.

[00:35:49]

Still to come, Markstein in info rush on America's number one radio show. Todd Hoffman was here yesterday. Russia is resting up and we hope to have him with us for Open Line Friday.

[00:36:07]

It should be a wild open line Friday. That would be tomorrow, because when Rush comes back, he's usually itching and frustrated at having had a day off. So it's actually super strength rush. And you need to stand well back from the receiving apparatus. In the meantime, we'll we will try and hold the fort for him.

[00:36:27]

One 800 to eight to 282 is the number to call.

[00:36:33]

Yes, America's anchorman is away. And this is your EIB anchor baby, thrilled and honored to be here. No supporting paperwork whatsoever. We are live at ICE Station EIB with the technical Maestro Crash supervising from New York and Mr. Snottily, in the free state of Florida, screening your calls today.

[00:37:02]

Florida and Sweden and I think Belarus are basically the only three non locked down jurisdictions on the planet.

[00:37:13]

Oh, South Dakota, South Africa. So it's like Florida, Sweden, Belarus and South Dakota, everywhere else. To one degree or another, you are locked down and loving it.

[00:37:25]

As we prepare to enter the the second year of this, I'm here at Ice Station EIB, just a stone's throw from the Canadian border. I used to be able to say, if you're fleeing the country, do swing by and say hello. We got a big sign on the interstate saying last rush guest host before the border. So you can't miss it. But I can't do that joke now because the U.S. Canadian border has been closed for almost a year and there are no plans ever.

[00:37:55]

To reopen it, it's it's indefinite now, I used to I used to be able to drive half an hour north and have lunch in the lovely province of Quebec. And if I were to try to do that, now you have to quarantine in a government facility for three days. They don't accept any test conducted by the United States or any other country. So they zap you at the airport to check whether you got the Coke.

[00:38:19]

I don't know whether they're doing the the old anal swab.

[00:38:23]

They're assume the position, as I always like. One of the things I love hearing said it. Rush's voice is assume the position. So when he was talking about the new miracle Chinese anal swab, I was disappointed. He didn't say assume the position, but you have to assume the position. If you cross the border, they zap you, they test you, and then you have to be held in a government isolation facility for three days until they come back and tell you you've tested negative and then they charge you 2000 dollars for your room and board and the cost of the test.

[00:39:02]

So if you are in, say, upstate New York, if you're in Western, if you're in Buffalo and thinking, I'd like to go for lunch at Niagara on the lake, well, you can try it, but it's going to be a long lunch and it'll cost you the 2000 bucks for the room and board. And then, you know, whatever it is, 27 bucks for lunch at Niagara on the lake.

[00:39:23]

Freedom of movement has died. And everything now we're being told that, in fact, you know, the covid isn't the real crisis, the real crisis is climate change.

[00:39:33]

But everything that has happened with the covid, you can apply to the climate and it and they're looking forward to instituting that. They have this John Kerry Clipper's, you know, from last year when he got an award in Iceland. And he, you know, the old showbiz joke about there, about the guy who likes to be seen at every opening around town, is that the guy would go to the opening of an envelope.

[00:40:03]

John Kerry is so desperate, he actually fired up his private plane to get this award in Iceland.

[00:40:11]

And the president of Iceland criticized him for taking a private plane to an awards ceremony, even though all the big award ceremonies the guys flying in are coming in on private plane.

[00:40:24]

And he said he has no choice. Oh, he basically sympathizes with you. Yes. You you have to give your car up and you have to take the trolley car. Yes. You have to stand out on a day when it's snowing heavily. You have to stand there and wait 20 minutes for the delayed bus to come and get on the bus. And he'd love to be there because you shouldn't have a car and he'd love to be there with you.

[00:40:51]

But unfortunately, that's just not possible for someone in his position. So he has no choice but to take a private plane. He couldn't possibly fly commercial because he's he simply do prominent a person, even though nobody outside this country knows who the hell John Kerry, nobody in Iceland, if you're in Iceland, flying on Icelandic Airways into into Iceland to pick up an award, you're going home from your vacation and you happened to see this guy. This a tall horse faced Easter Island statue in the seat next to you.

[00:41:34]

You have no idea. You're not saying, oh, wow, are you? John Kerry didn't didn't you used to be a junior senator from Massachusetts a couple of decades ago? Oh, wow. I'm so excited. Could I have your autograph and tell me, who do you like for the 2022 midterm? No, Icelandair is doing that. Nobody outside. He can fly around the world. Nobody knows who the hell he is.

[00:41:59]

And if they do, they think he is an Easter Island statue and the Easter Island statue is just flying off for a vacation in Greece or whatever. And so there's no reason why he can't fly this whole thing. Tony Abbott, the Australian prime minister, I was on the air actually at this microphone when this story came up. He flew. He was prime minister of Australia and he flew coach class from Sydney. I think it was to go to somewhere in the French Alps.

[00:42:34]

So he probably flew to Geneva or he caught a connecting flight and went to Grenoble or wherever it was. But that's a long flight from Australia. And he flew in coach. He was in Rome. Fifty wasn't right up front with the with the business class guys. He was he was coach in one of those middle seats where there's a row of five and he's sitting there. And the only reason anyone knows about it is because some guy next to him said, I flew from Sydney to France for my ski vacation and I was in the back of the plane next sitting next to the prime minister.

[00:43:09]

And he was just chinwag in all night. And I never got I never got ten minutes sleep. That's the only reason anyone knew about it. Perfectly normal prime ministers to fly coach. Perfectly normal for Prince William to fly coach.

[00:43:25]

He flew he was scheduled when he flew back from Los Angeles on British Airways. He and his lovely duchess went to the counter and British Airways very kindly upgraded him from business class to first class because he had sufficient frequent flyer points. So everybody can fly commercial except the super elite. John Kerry can't. It would be absurd to expect John Kerry to go to and to go to a public airport and stand at the premium prestige mega platinum, super, hyper frequent flyer line and be zapped through in nothing flat to stand there.

[00:44:11]

He might risk encountering some schlub flying coach. It would be absurd. And this is this is the. Great. This this actually is it's it's a cheap joke to mock this guy because he's he's almost like a parody of the globalist elite and it's fun to just pelt him with rotten fruit, but it actually is the world we're building.

[00:44:37]

It's all wrong. This world, this country was set up.

[00:44:41]

Right. I shouldn't be explaining your own history to you, but I'm here doing it because you didn't want George the third, OK?

[00:44:50]

You thought where we're going to be a republic of citizen representatives. We elect one of our own. That's the government is going to be formed. There's not going to be a king issuing royal proclamations or executive orders, as we now call them. We're not going to have anything like that. What we're going to have instead is we're going to have citizen representatives, people who would just like us, who go to Washington for a couple of years and then, like Cincinnatus, return to their farm or in the case of John Kerry, returned to their beach house.

[00:45:29]

And then they do some windsurfing in buttock hugging, multicolored Lycra.

[00:45:36]

And that's the way the republic is supposed to be. But we have degenerated now into and it's exactly why they don't want anymore trumps.

[00:45:46]

We've degenerated into a permanent political class nannygate. Remember Nannygate, it was all right back when this show started. And the baby of which, as you remember, because Rush talked about it at the time, as some of you been listening all the way through this last third of a century, will no Nannygate was how the first female nominee for attorney general, her nomination went kaput because it turned out she'd hired an undocumented nanny to look after her kid.

[00:46:23]

That kid is now Biden. He grew up. He wasn't he wasn't damaged by being targeted in the whole Nannygate thing. In fact, the baby raised by the devoted undocumented nanny is now the big China policy adviser in the Biden administration.

[00:46:45]

Because we have a permanent hereditary ruling class. We don't call them marquises and dukes because that's forbidden in the Constitution. So they're not running around with fancy titles of nobility because if they were, it would be easier to spot them. But that's basically John John Kerry, of course, whose stepson was the business partner of Hunter. Biden made your head explode. It's like medieval dynasties of grand duchies in Europe. Centuries ago, they were all marrying each other.

[00:47:22]

And they don't want someone from outside that high caste system like Donald Trump, just some guy from Queens. They don't want a guy like that busting in. And that's that's basically their principal objection to him. So this whole thing is there's rulers and the ruled. And as John Kerry says, he can't he'd love he'd love to take the slow boat to Iceland with the rest of you guys, the ferry and the churning seas of the North Atlantic.

[00:47:52]

Boy, he'd love to do that, but he does. Unfortunately, he's got to fly around the world saving the planet. They all have to.

[00:47:59]

Oddly enough, again, the the Prince of Wales, Prince of Wales, he said that we had to do something to rid the world of this terrible consumerism. Don't worry. He said this was before the carpet because the covid has done a pretty good job.

[00:48:15]

The lockdown's done a pretty good job of ridding the world of this terrible consumerism for good. So he says we have to in order to save the planet, we have to rid the world of this terrible consumerism in a speech. And then at the end of his speech, he got into his limousine and was driven to his other palace. And it's harder to spot in a republic. But we now have Nancy Pelosi, a speaker of the House, is flown home every weekend in a government plane.

[00:48:48]

Why can't Nancy Pelosi, as I said, everyone else takes the plane. You can see the queen of Denmark on a plane.

[00:48:57]

You can see a lovely prince, Prince William, and his beautiful bride on a plane. You can see prime ministers on planes. You can certainly see speakers, which isn't even a thing in most political systems on a plane. But this idea that we have what we had, the beauty of what happened. Five years ago, four or five years ago, was that all the conventions of American politics, the stupid ads, the stupid consultants, the consultant industrial complex saying you have to spend like Jeb Bush 100 million dollars to get two point four percent in Iowa.

[00:49:38]

Some guy came in and said, I know nothing about it and just walked his way to the nomination in defiance of all the experts. And that's their business model. So all these people, you know, the Never Trampas are the consultant industrial complex. The guys, he said you don't need the consultant industrial complex. You can just walk out, say whatever's on your mind and people will vote for you. And they couldn't allow that to become a thing.

[00:50:07]

Keeping it in this tight little world, we're going to die.

[00:50:12]

You know, I mean, I'm cutting to the chase, but we're going to slide off the cliff if it's kept in this tight little world of of of groups of, you know, a permanent ruling class who all marry each other and rotate in and out of government every few. Oh, I'll go. And being an adviser to the Biden administration for a couple of years and I'll go to Goldman Sachs for a couple of years, make a big bunch of money, then I'll come back.

[00:50:42]

That's going to actually have a sliding off the cliff and a huge almighty crash.

[00:50:49]

And the object of next week's re impeachment trial is to teach the way. It's not to punish Trump. He's he's punished and they figure they've driven a stake into into account Trump. They figure he's gone. They've given the stake in to him, but they don't want any more Trump's.

[00:51:08]

And that's the purpose of next week's trial. Mark Steyn in for us. Your calls straight ahead.

[00:51:16]

Marc Stein in for Rush at the Golden EIB microphone. Let us go to Tommy in Clarksville, Indiana. Tommy, what's on your mind? Hey, Tommy, I'm here, I want to ask you something, if I'm going to sign this one point nine trillion dollars, what happened to the nine billion dollars that are 900 billion dollars and yet to pay? We'll see if she was in her office or two blocks from the so-called insurrection. And three, if the United States loses his freedom.

[00:51:53]

America, listen to what I'm saying. If the United States loses its freedom, the world loses its freedom.

[00:52:00]

Yeah, that's that's true. And I've had this conversation on that last point, Tony. This is the last last stop. Because if, you know, if America slides off the cliff, the rest of the free world goes with it. There will be people occasionally call in and say, why do you think I should? Why do you think I should flee to? And the wild places that take a livelier attitude to call liberties than much of the American political class does at the moment in Eastern Europe and places like that.

[00:52:33]

And there are places that are far away. But basically, if if we don't reclaim global leadership from China, it's over for the planet. It's not going to be pleasant for our children and grandchildren, all the rest of it. So that's a very important point to me. And I'm glad you made it. And on the on the stimulus. So, I mean, you know, stimuli, stimuli, stimuli, when the Democrats put them together, they're basically payoffs to the to the lobby groups.

[00:53:05]

This one point nine trillion dollar for start, just to back it up. If it's if it's one of these multi thousand page bills that no legislator has led has has read because they're too busy going on TV and talking about the importance of getting the legislation through without reading it. But you can't actually physically read these multi thousand page bills anyway.

[00:53:31]

So and they're not even written by staffers anymore. And the old bad old rap on them was that they were written by staffers. They're now just written by lobbyists. And then when every lobbyist got a piece of what he wants, it's all stitched together. None of these things, you know, if we were serious about this, we would have passed targeted assistance back when lockdown started to the people who need it, because there's lots of people who don't need it, like public schools, like public schools.

[00:54:00]

And they all know we we know you've given us so much to put in entirely new ventilation systems. I mean, we still don't feel safe. So we're going to need another one point thirty seven Bazilian before we even consider going back to school. It's all a racket and it does something, does nothing. You know, there's an argument for small government and there's an argument for a nanny state. There's no actual argument for a nanny state that's incapable of nannying, that just basically throws out bazillions to its cronies and doesn't actually do anything for the people who need the money.

[00:54:39]

And we're told we're expected to believe that Joe Biden wants something more targeted. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. No, you don't. You want payoffs to cronies of the ruling party.

[00:54:50]

And that's why some of it hasn't even gone out yet. The checks haven't even been said.

[00:54:56]

Markstein with you on the EIB Network. Rush, Rush, hopefully back back to you know, years ago I went to a recording session for for Muzak. You know, these guys who plays play the mellow saxophone stuff you hear in elevators and restaurants and things.

[00:55:14]

And it was it was actually quite interesting to watch because they were basically playing, you know, instrumental versions of the big whatever the big pop hits were back then, wind, wind beneath my wings or somewhere out there, that kind of stuff.

[00:55:28]

So they're playing wind beneath my wings. And the alto sax guy gets a bit too into it and he gets excessively lively. And then they they go cart, cart, brake brakes stop and they have to go back and actually make it duller and more boring and bland and more insipid. And eventually they reached the point of perfect, bland insipidly insipidity where it's just right for the effet foreign guest host. So lovely to be with you.

[00:56:00]

And we do hope to have. Yes, Mr. Certainly. Yes, yes. Oh. Mr. Studley is trying to find out whether signing up for the Markstein cruise involves listening to me sing The Wind Beneath My Wings. We do have musical. No, no, we we do have musical entertainment at various points of the cruise.

[00:56:27]

But it is actually by professional say and actually sometimes it's by Michele Bachmann who always comes on the cruise. And Michele actually always gives it a go with some of the 70s rockets. And she's great fun on that. It's this October that Markstein Cruise. You can go to Markstein Cruise dot com. I generally only I sang a song for Joe Biden on the last cruise called The Hanzi Man.

[00:56:53]

And I may be prevailed upon to do that if he's still president by the time we sail in October. And I'm reasonably confident that Komala will be installed by by them.

[00:57:06]

You can go to Markstein Cruise dot com. Yeah, no, we don't sell any c.D. Have you have you tried moving around the the the world in the last year? Mr Snow Live. You take a big box of CDs to an airport and say, I'd like to ship these to Paris. They say no, no, Paris. Paris is just installed things saying the CDs. You know, too, there's traces of covid on the CD. So we're going to have to destroy them all.

[00:57:36]

Nobody buys CD like all these things called downloads. Now, you know, the download is it's safe to download as long as you wear three masks, Mr. Snidely, and then you won't and then you won't be contaminated. But nobody buys seat AIDS. You sound like a Squaresville guy putting. Yes. Putting it put putting your CD on the gramophone. Who does that? The kids. All the kids all think this is not so. Not so talk.

[00:57:59]

No I have CDs. Yeah I know people over 50 selling CDs. They're very useful actually.

[00:58:06]

I've got a lot of unsold copies of my Christmas album and I use them to insulate my attic. They, they did the job a treat. So they are useful for things. But no, you I tell you what, Mr. Sedately is trying to get me to plug my cruise.

[00:58:22]

I never really he's always trying to turn me into just some huckster saying if you, you know, go to market side, cruise Coleman side up, you can sign up for premium mega platinum. I never like to do it, but I will say one thing. I mean, talking about the impeachment trial.

[00:58:39]

And in fact, I'm going to be on the telly for impeachment week, I'm going to be on Fox News live at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

[00:58:50]

That's just when Pat Leahy and CO have wrapped up the trial each day, every night next week, Monday to Friday.

[00:58:59]

And I'm going to be looking at the re impeachment, hopefully, and it'll be at the end of the day. So you had all the expert legal analysis from your law professors and all that kind of crowd. And so we're going to be trying to take a different look at the day's events. That will be on Fox News, 7:00 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday next week. And I know a lot of people have got steamed at Fox News that actually the guy who made the it was the head of the department that made the call for Arizona that people got mad about has actually been laid off.

[00:59:37]

So he's unemployed right now. I didn't realize he was the kind of guy who could be laid off, but he has been laid off. And so he's not even there now. So if so, people say, oh, you know, they sold out and all the rest of it.

[00:59:52]

Rupert Murdoch, he has basically been at his home. And I think it's Oxfordshire for the last year in rural England because of the covid. And he was waiting for the vaccine and he got his two shots of the vaccine and then he jumped on the plane. And flew back to New York to take charge of what was happening at Fox, supposedly, but I'm not privy to any of the internal politics, the palace politics, but I will be there on the TV live every night next week, 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

[01:00:24]

What's that, Mr. Snottily?

[01:00:26]

One more question. OK, give it your best shot. Well, you're the Neptune Suite. He's still hooked on the cruise, we can probably get you in there, Mr. Snidely. You always like you teasing about whether you get a about it. But the Neptune Suites are actually lovely. That's that's like that's that's like cruise travel used to be in the good old days when you'd be taking the Queen Mary.

[01:00:57]

It's the closest you. Yeah. All the Titanic. It's the closest you'll get to living the John Kerry lifestyle because it's almost as good as being on John Kerry's yacht, but without John Kerry there to adore you. So that's that's a bastide whose dot com break.

[01:01:17]

Actually, while we're breaking news and while we're talking about the impeachment trial, Democrats are demanding that Donald J. Trump testify under oath at his Senate impeachment trial next week about his role in the Magga riot.

[01:01:37]

So I don't I'm not because this is basically impeachment is like all these much vaunted checks and balances, it turns out just to be a make it up as you go along racket.

[01:01:49]

So it's not clear if you're in a a criminal trial, you have the right not to testify under oath.

[01:02:01]

You're you're not you're not obliged to take the witness stand. But Democrats lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin.

[01:02:12]

Has sent a letter to Donald J.

[01:02:16]

Trump to provide testimony under oath either before or during the Senate impeachment trial concerning your conduct on January the 6th, 2021. You know, he's actually got nothing to lose here because the penalty for being convicted of impeachment is that you're removed from your job and he's already been removed from the job.

[01:02:38]

So he might as well do it. I say do it.

[01:02:41]

You know, lawyers, I'm not gonna go back to the point I was making about this re impeachment in the last hour, that people just the Republican, the political types that just said, oh, well, you know, they haven't got the votes to convict him. So this whole thing is a waste of time. They'd have they. Yeah, there's Susan Collins.

[01:03:02]

And yes, that's but they're not going to get 17 of those guys to vote to convict. So it's all a waste of time. And then you have the legal argument.

[01:03:10]

Supposedly the reason the legal team quit is because they wanted to make a narrow constitutional argument as to why you can't as to why you can't convict a guy who is no longer in office because he's a private citizen.

[01:03:32]

And so the United States Senate does not enjoy jurisdiction over him. So he'd get off on a technicality like Snoop Dog or whatever it was all those years ago.

[01:03:43]

And that's really that's a lawyer's argument. But I wonder really whether it's good enough for Trump. I mean, if I was in his situation looking at what's happened. I would actually say, well, why do I need to listen to lawyers, they can't put me in jail. So why what's the downside to just saying, OK, I'll do my own defense and then that's everything for someone like Pat Leahy, who is a great slow slumbering nothing of a guy that would actually pose a few challenges if Donald J.

[01:04:21]

Trump, well, his own defense counsel. I mean, why not? It's a circus. It's a joke. It's a travesty. Why not run with that and make it a total circus? Why not why not make it like the ultimate episode of The Apprentice? You're basically Trump is going to be his own apprentice attorney. Why not do that? Markstein in four rush. That's all next week. Monday is the day when he's supposed to file his legal brief, his legal response, assuming that they whoever is his legal team this week hasn't quit by then.

[01:05:02]

And as I said, I'm going to be there on telly every day, 7:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, hopefully finding something different to say about this thing. It is a joke. It is a travesty. But there is. But the lesson they're trying to teach is not for Trump. It's for you. It's to say, don't even think of Trump 2.0.

[01:05:26]

Don't even think unless you're part of our little cosy club, the club that gets to do all its machinations, the club that can sleep. If you're in the club, you can sleep with with Chinese spies like Eric Shadwell sleeping with Fang Fang being penetrated by Fang Fang, compromised by Fang Fang. That doesn't matter. Eric Chang. Well, this is the first impeachment trial in American history in which someone who's been penetrated by a Chinese spy, this fang fang is one of the impeachment managers.

[01:06:00]

That doesn't matter because he's in the club, so he's protected. But if you're not in the club like Trump, we're doing this to show you don't get to play in this. You can be an accountant, you can be a realtor, you can be a feed store clerk, but you don't mess with our club by trying to become president or anything.

[01:06:20]

Import Markstein for us. Your polls just ahead.

[01:06:25]

I see that in Maricopa County in in Arizona, the entire caucus of Republicans and the Arizona state Senate, all six Republicans have sponsored a resolution to hold the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, all five members in contempt for not complying with subpoenas pertaining to equipment, ballots and more related to the 2020 election.

[01:06:56]

So, in other words, these vice presidents who own some of these radio stations can say you're not allowed to mention any of the election shenanigans and they can stand by the Arizona call and all the rest of it. But this is actually news because in theory, they could be subject well, at least if they were in New Hampshire, they could be subject to a cap.

[01:07:19]

Is an arrest for failing to comply with the subpoenas. I assume it's the same in Maricopa County, Arizona.

[01:07:27]

But let's go to Diane from Peoria. Amazo I think Peoria is in Maricopa County, isn't it?

[01:07:35]

Diane Got it. MARKSTEIN Megadose and prayers to rush from myself, my son Michael and my dear friend Brenda. Hey, thank you. Curiosity question.

[01:07:45]

When will senators in the Democratic Party stand up and put have some boy votes, as we say in Spanish, and leave the Democratic Party, join the Republicans and save this country? We are hurting out here. And no way should Donald Trump speak to these wackos. They will break him to the point where they're going to strip him of everything he owns and they're going to take a piece of it for themselves. Don't even think that they don't want to do that.

[01:08:17]

They hate this man so much they will not see past their own noses to see the joy that he brought to so many people in this country. No, horrible. I was on stage here in Arizona behind Donald Trump with my son, my husband and my dear friend. And it is frightening to see what he has done. I've never been to a rally like that before in my life. It was joyous. No, I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for what he did for us.

[01:08:54]

And I pray for. Him and his family every day and as a cancer survivor, I pray for Rush to every single day. It's a tough battle. Thank you for that, Diane.

[01:09:05]

Yes, you're right. You know, their ambition knows no bounds.

[01:09:08]

They want to destroy him and they want to take Trump Tower and put that in other people's hands and rename it the Chuck Schumer Memorial Tower or whatever. They're determined to do that to him. But you think that there are Democrats that might possibly change the balance of power in the Senate and flip from one party to the other? So you're thinking of fellows like Joe Manchin, is that right, Dianne?

[01:09:38]

That's exactly who I'm talking about. They need to step up and save this country. I'm a senior citizen. I'm a wonderfully healthy 69 year old woman that just battled asthma, leukemia and survived it after a stem cell transplant. All right. Let me tell you something. This country is worth fighting for. Life in this country is worth fighting for, not with bullets and in guns, but we need to stand up. Yeah, some balls.

[01:10:12]

Yep, absolutely. Dianne, no question of that. And that's the fighting that people mean. That's the fighting that they were talking about when people assembled in Washington on January six. That's what fighting means. Fighting doesn't mean just suddenly going to go rampaging down Main Street and burn down a police station, do all the other things that Democrat supporters can get away with, but means what you say, standing firm and pushing back against the avalanche of lies that almost every institution in this country is dumping on us.

[01:10:51]

The point you make about Joe Manchin, though, whether he might become the 51 Republican vote or whatever, that is an interesting one. And I'm going to pick that up in a segment or two. That's Diane calling from Peoria, Arizona, in Maricopa County, where the entire Board of Election Supervisors has just been found in contempt by the Republican state Senate in Arizona.

[01:11:19]

Lots more straight ahead.

[01:11:22]

Mark Simon for us. Donald J. Trump has resigned today from the Screen Actors Guild. It's an hilarious letter. I'll read you some bits out of it in next hour.

[01:11:37]

But of course, he has been a member for over 30 years because he's in films like Home Alone, too, and Zoolander and Wall Street Money Never Sleeps.

[01:11:48]

He's been a member for 30 years, but they were going to decide whether they would kick him out and he has preempted them by resigning.

[01:11:58]

Yes, America's anchorman is away.

[01:12:02]

And this is your undocumented anchorman, thrilled and honored to be here, as always, from ice station EIB in the frosty northern wastes of this great land just a few miles south of the Quebec border. But we have crash taking care of all the technical things from New York. And we have the world's greatest coal screen, Mr. Snidely, full strength, all-American coal screening. Are you man enough for it? Call one 800 202 282.

[01:12:43]

If you would like to be on the show and see if you can handle Mr. Snyder, please call screening and we might well put you on. And I've got a story here. About. Voting machine fraud, oh, no, no, no, no, wait a minute, don't all get the vapors. This isn't one of those voting machines stories you're not allowed to talk about, like poor old Mike Lyndell, the my pillow guy who got shut up on Newsmax just as he was getting into it about the voting machines.

[01:13:17]

This is a Democrat complaining about faulty voting machines. So he's not like most conservatives and Republicans. He's allowed still in America, we still have sufficient freedom of speech that even though certain people can't mention faulty voting machines, Democrats are still permitted to complain about faulty voting machines. This is a big shot Democrat lawyer Marc Elias, who's with Perkins Coie. He's a really powerful Democrat lawyer because he's the guy responsible for hiring Fusion GPS for Hillary Clinton's campaign and for the Democratic National Committee.

[01:14:03]

So there wouldn't be a whole Russia investigation or Russia hoax or Russian interference if this guy had not suggested to Hillary that they hire Fusion GPS, who in turn hired Christopher Steele, the ex MI6 guy. There's really no such thing as an ex MI6 guy, but he was ex enough to pass as a respectable source for fusion GPS. So this is the guy who basically started the whole Russia hoax. He's a powerful lawyer. I wouldn't mess with him, would you?

[01:14:39]

Because you know where that led when he got Christopher Steele on the Fusion GPS payroll and then Fusion GPS on the Hillary Clinton payroll, he started it. He's now saying.

[01:14:55]

That this is in the New York 22nd Congressional District, they they haven't declared a result there yet.

[01:15:03]

It's over three months since election night because I'm I'm just a simple foreign guy in respect to things like this, because in Canada, we have this weird system where we hold Election Day on Election Day.

[01:15:18]

And this idea that you're you're still counting three months later is unknown to us as it's unknown to Denmark or Slovenia or Tuvalu or Papua New Guinea.

[01:15:28]

But in New York's 22nd Congressional District, which is the Syracuse area, if I recall correctly, they can't do what Sudan can manage to do and count an election in under three months.

[01:15:45]

And right now, the Republican Claudia Tenney leads the Democrat, the incumbent Democrat, Anthony Brindisi, by a margin of 125 votes and she declared victory. Claudia Tenney, the Republican a couple of days ago. But Marc Elias, this powerful election lawyer for the Democrats, is alleging that there is reason to believe that the voting tabulation machines misread hundreds, if not thousands of valid votes and that these tabulation machine errors disproportionately affected Brindisi, the Democrat, in addition, Oswego County admitted in a sworn statement.

[01:16:34]

That it's tabulation machines were not tested and calibrated in the days leading up to the November general election as required by state law. So in other words, in case you're confused here.

[01:16:50]

This, the complete incompetence of a what it purports to be a nominally developed jurisdiction, developed nation, developed state developed jurisdiction, the 22nd Congressional District of New York, which can't tell you who won the election three months after Election Day. But it's OK. It's not OK for the president to complain about voting machines. It's not OK for Mike Lyndell to complain about voting machines. It's not OK for talk radio hosts to complain about voting machines, which is why some of them have gone very quiet on the subject.

[01:17:28]

But Democrats are still permitted to complain about voting machines. So the big shot Democrat lawyer, as you know, I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't want voting machines that favor Democrats. I don't want voting machines that favor Republicans because it's all bunk.

[01:17:46]

And we should as I said, as I've said on this show, I want to form the paper ballots party.

[01:17:52]

It's a single issue party like the Brexit party that Nigel Farage formed in the United Kingdom, which was a single issue party. So he didn't have foreign policy and he didn't have economic policy and he didn't have education policy. He just was a single issue because there was until you'd actually gotten Britain out of the United Kingdom, out of the European Union. There's no point actually talking about any of the other stuff because it's what the lawyers would call a threshold issue.

[01:18:24]

And likewise, the integrity of American elections is a threshold issue because there's no point fighting an election under this under this system that we had on November the 3rd. Now, you can't say that if you're on the right, you can't say that it's a big, long list of things you can't talk about anymore.

[01:18:42]

And you lose your Twitter account and you lose your Facebook page and you lose your radio show if you mention some of this stuff. But Democrats can still talk about it.

[01:18:54]

So Marc Elias, he's a big shot Democrat lawyer. And why don't we have a bipartisan agreement? He's concerned that the Republicans have stolen the New York 22nd Congressional District from him. And in other parts of the country, people are concerned that the Democrats have stolen it from the Republicans. So why don't we have a like a bipartisan commission to get back to paper ballots? Because everything else is complete junk and complete garbage.

[01:19:24]

Now, this tweeter called Joe Camel didn't think I was being said. He thought I was intentionally lying.

[01:19:31]

When I said there is no domestic terrorism movement in this country and certainly what is being represented as a domestic terrorist attack, which is just a bunch just a mob, a mob uprising, by the way, I want to just have a word about this, because a mob uprising actually isn't a domestic terrorism thing either.

[01:19:56]

And he said, oh, yes, there is. And he sends me this story from the Atlanta Journal Constitution showing that some group that provided private security to Marjorie Taylor Green, the world's most famous woman, may be more famous, may have higher name recognition than Oprah by now. Marjorie Taylor Green's private security firm, the people who provide her private security, is thinking of forming alliances with other Georgia militia groups.

[01:20:26]

And there's some guys there's a picture of guys in like motor dressed as motorcycle rider. They may even be on motorcycles. I can't find the picture now. And this is evidence of a domestic terrorism case that I've lived in countries that have domestic terrorism movement.

[01:20:43]

I, I was severely and I wasn't blown up by the IRA. I'm not exaggerating it, but I had many years of being severely inconvenienced by the Irish Republican Army who would blow up a lot of places you were intending to go to, and it would result in road blocks.

[01:20:59]

And it would and. They did not issue press releases saying they're thinking of forming alliances. They were people who went skulking about in darkness. One heard rumors if one went into certain pubs in West Belfast that the guy over in the corner might be an IRA guy, but they were.

[01:21:18]

But an effective domestic terrorism movement actually is a very tightly held secret. And they operate in the darkness. Generally, they if you're a domestic terrorist, you're not tweeting about it, not Facebook ing about it. You're skulking about in darkness. I mentioned the Q the Fondo, Liberacion Dubek, the Liberation Front murdered a deputy premier of Quebec, left his body in a trunk. They kidnapped the London's senior trade commissioner out of his rather agreeable house in Montreal and held him hostage for two months before it was arranged that he would be freed in exchange for a flight to Cuba.

[01:22:02]

For these guys, either Italy had the Red Brigades again. They murdered Aldo Moro, a prime minister of Italy, left him in a trunk, too.

[01:22:13]

These are serious people. Terrorist movements are serious things.

[01:22:18]

And the devaluation of language here, the false representation of what happened on January the 6th and its manipulation with with the connivance of the media in trying to turn this, you know, the the mistake they made with the war on terror, which is which devolved very quickly into a joke so that the Department of Homeland Security, which was supposed to be something to do with fighting jihadists, protecting America from jihadists, quickly degenerated into busting strip clubs in Boston because they were selling knockoff Red Sox merchandise and and busting some guy who imported a British sports car and didn't pay full freight in taxes on it, supposedly.

[01:23:10]

So it's the usual American legislative federal racket where something is set up for a specific purpose and then just degenerates. But the big thing, the big thing they learn from that is that it would actually be far more useful.

[01:23:25]

Its possibilities are just far more useful if it's turned into a domestic insurgency, a domestic insurrection that gives the state absolutely unlimited powers. As we saw when they attempted to finger Trump as an agent of Russian.

[01:23:45]

It all got it all got too complicated for people. Oh, what's happened with the Russia investigation? All they've found out this guy was working for Trump. Yeah. What's he called? Oh, George Papadopoulos. I've never heard of him. Oh, yeah. But he he he had a drink with an Australian High Commission. What's a high commissioner? I don't really know what a high commissioner is, but. Yeah, but do they win a bar in London and they all got too complicated.

[01:24:09]

The deep state plot was so deep they overcomplicated it. And this is much simpler. Oh, it's a domestic terrorism. Well, with this domestic terrorism, we're going to have to have special laws. We're going to have to have special restrictions. We're going to have to insulate the political class even more totally from the masses they purport to represent. And in fact, it is no domestic terrorism movement except that it has been concocted out of whole cloth by the Democrat media complex.

[01:24:40]

Markstein for us. We will take your calls in just a moment.

[01:24:45]

Markstein in for Rush. Vincent Geula Neller corrects me. I think I said New York's 22nd District. This is where, unlike places that hold efficient elections such as southern Sudan, they're still waiting for the results from November the 3rd. The Republican is 125 votes ahead, he says. I said it was in the Syracuse area and Vincent corrects me and says it's the Binghamton area, not the Syracuse area, and which is an hour or so south from Syracuse.

[01:25:20]

So I may be wrong on that.

[01:25:22]

The only road I really know in that part of the world is Route eighteen. I think I mentioned Niagara on the lake early on the show and Route eight basically goes if you cross the bridge Route Eighteen goes along the beautiful southern shore of Lake Ontario and eventually winds up in Rochester or Syracuse or somewhere like that.

[01:25:44]

But a very pleasant and scenic route it is. And I always preferred to take that rather than going on Interstate 90, which always puts my back out.

[01:25:53]

I went I drove on the Great Western Highway in Iraq from the Jordanian border it goes. To Baghdad about a month after the country had toppled, after the coalition had toppled Saddam Hussein and that highway in Iraq had been bombed and created by by coalition bombers, and it was still a smoother ride than Interstate 90 in western New York State. I'm just sayin, let's go to Ed in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Ed, you're on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Great to have you with us.

[01:26:35]

Hey, Mark, thanks. Always enjoy it when when you're on. Thank you, Tony. I know that the Democrats are going to go after Republicans, but are they also going to go after other Democrats who they deem not to be sufficiently loyal or too dangerous in a kind of classic Marxist purge?

[01:27:00]

Well, I'm not sure they need to do that, actually, Ed, because as you know, on on the conservative side, on the right wing side, there are never Trampas who want to destroy people who worked with Trump and ensure that they never get a job anywhere ever again and that they were never Trump who are seriously committed to that. On the left, it's slightly different because in the end, if you look at Joe Biden, they don't really care about Joe Biden.

[01:27:30]

You know, Joe Biden started this election season by boasting about how he'd been able to do deals with segregationist senators in the 70s. And he was surprised when Komala and the rest of the gang didn't think that was an attractive quality in a Democrat candidate. And ever since then, he's just been pulled. Paul pulled, pulled remorselessly to the left because that's where the energy is in that party. That's how AOC, AOC actually had to take out the guy.

[01:28:00]

AOC had to actually run against a so-called moderate and take him out and replace him.

[01:28:08]

But since then, if you look at it, most Democrats are happy to be pulled to the left.

[01:28:14]

So they purport to be into all the stuff that he signed these executive orders on, like transgender sports participation or whatever he's chosen. He doesn't care. He's happy to be dragged, dragged, dragged to the left. So the idea that there would have to be bloodletting in the Democrat Party is and this, by the way, this is where it gets to Joe Manchin, because Joe Manchin right now is the most powerful guy in Washington, because if he actually would want a Bulc at some of these proposals, the Democrats then can't get Comella in to give them a 51 50 majority.

[01:28:57]

So they have to keep they have to keep Joe Manchin sweet. So Joe Manchin talks about how he doesn't like this and he doesn't like that and he doesn't like whatever. But it says with all the Supreme Court nominees, you know, the Democrats hold together because they're about power. There's not they're about power and it's all transactional and it's all conditional. So. So Joe Biden did deals with the his segregationist colleagues in the 70s. Now the segregationists are gone.

[01:29:28]

No one holds it against him. Joe's on board with all the lefty identity politics said so. So I think they're very good at just sticking all these things about who do you think there'll be divisions between the moderates and the left wing? No, they're all on they're all on the same team and they stick together.

[01:29:45]

Ed, so we're we're dealing with a monolith. Absolutely. Absolutely. That's that. And also the thing about the narcissism here.

[01:29:58]

That that you have on the right, you know, where Mitt Romney knows that the only way he gets the strange new respect in Washington is when he goes against his party.

[01:30:11]

Same as Susan Collins, same with Lisa Murkowski. Same with whoever for Joe Manchin, the calculation Joe Manchin is just going to get a heap of grief if he were to go against his party. So, Joe Manchin, don't worry, there's not going to be any Supreme Court packing. They're not going to get rid of the filibuster. They're not going to admit the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as states because Joe Manchin will hold the line if you're betting on that.

[01:30:38]

You know, I watched that the last impeachment trial. I kept hearing about how this Democrat was wobbling and that Democrat was wobbling. And in the end, they didn't. They all held firm. While we're speaking of that, I have an update. News breaking news. The House of Representatives has voted to strip Marjorie Taylor Green of her committee assignments.

[01:31:02]

So we now have a situation where the loser party, the loyal opposition, is not allowed actually to to select its own members for its minority grouping on these committees. Marjorie Taylor Green has been stripped of her committee assignments by the House of Representatives that just broke a few seconds ago. And we shall bring you more details of that as as we progress. Thank you very much for that call. And that's the difference. That's that of will you disassociate yourself from Marjorie Taylor Green?

[01:31:40]

Nobody ever asks that of a Democrat. You can be as kooky as you want on the Democrat side.

[01:31:47]

And they're completely cool with it because they all stick together. They all stick together on that side.

[01:31:55]

Yeah. Do not worry. We hope to have Rush back for Open Line Friday.

[01:32:02]

So this is the last half hour of non all-American semi excellence in broadcasting. But you can do something about that by going to Rush Limbaugh dot com and becoming a Rush 24/7 subscriber and access the most spectacular body of work in the history of broadcasting.

[01:32:25]

Nothing like it. A third of a century.

[01:32:27]

You can get it in any medium known to man, whether you like the transcripts, whether you like the ditto cam, whether you like the audio, whether you like the archive for the stuff from the old TV show days, it's all there at Rush Limbaugh dot com.

[01:32:45]

This is my favorite story of the day.

[01:32:48]

A lawyer is facing an investigation after having sex during a Zoome court hearing because all the court room hearings except for the impeachment trial are all done on Zoome these days, some poor fellow in Singapore became the first guy to be condemned to death on Zoome, which is not something you really want to go down in history for this case.

[01:33:11]

This the Peruvian lawyer, Hector Paredes Robles, was branded a disgrace to his profession by the judge presiding over the virtual hearing after launching into his X rated performance while his camera was on. Extraordinary footage showed him stripping off and sitting on his chair so a naked brunette could straddle him. As astonished court officials and other lawyers looked on during the Zoome call a judge, Torres summoned a police officer as a female aide, tried to alert Mr. Paradice Rublev that his sex session was being watched and recorded on a public live feed.

[01:33:56]

But he wasn't in any mood. He was just getting started and the naked brunette straddling him and he had no intention of stopping. This is who Trump should have as his lawyer for the re impeachment trial. And let's fly in the naked brunette, too, so that she can straddle him in the well of the Senate.

[01:34:16]

That's about the level of respect that this ridiculous re impeachment trial deserves.

[01:34:25]

As I said, they have just voted to strip Marjorie Taylor Green of her committee assignments. If you haven't been following this story. She has for a few years ago, she had fairly particular views on all kinds of subjects like 9/11, I think she was a 9/11 truth or whatever they call them.

[01:34:53]

And she also thinks that the Jews have a big space laser. That starts the the forest fires in northern California, but that's that's the that's their big thing up there. And so she is being she's got these rather particular views and they don't want her having any committee assignments.

[01:35:18]

You know, Mrs. Natalie and I were talking before the show about different standards.

[01:35:24]

I was on TV a couple of years ago with Tucker Carlson. And Tucker asked me about a fellow called Trayon White, who is a Democrat who represents the District of Columbia's Ward eight.

[01:35:40]

He's a D.C. councilman. And there was some light snow that day. And he blamed that, quote, on the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters. So he's got the same views as Marjorie Taylor Green on the big Jew weather machine that's controlling the climate. And I said rather jocularly to Tucker Carlson that yeah, that that that one is true. God sold the weather to the Rothschilds in a few few decades back after he had some liquidity problems after the 1929 crash.

[01:36:21]

And we just did a few jokes about it and moved on because we knew the Democrat isn't going to pay a price for that anymore than Jen Psaki is going to pay a price for her so-called homophobic tweet about Lindsey Graham. Because we have. But Marjorie Taylor Greene now is off the committees. You know, she can't be on a committee, but it's different for the Democrats. It's different. Eric Shadwell can stay on the House Intelligence Committee even though he's been penetrated by a Chinese spy.

[01:36:53]

That's actually serious. That is the fang fang thing is actually serious. He's four years. He was having sex with a woman who reports back to Chairman Xi. That's serious, but but he gets to keep he that he pays no price for that and and so we have this hypocrisy thing and you see this a lot on radio and TV, in the newspapers, the columnist talking about, oh, you know, why didn't in that case why Omar, who said about 9/11 to some guys did something?

[01:37:29]

Why why is she still on the committee? Because it's different. There's no principals on the left.

[01:37:36]

It's a it's a straightforward power thing. They don't want to get rid of Ilan Omar.

[01:37:42]

They no they have no reason to sacrifice L.A. or Eric Chigwell or any of these guys.

[01:37:51]

But on the right, you distance yourself from Marjorie Taylor Green because she sang The Big Jews space has called the California forest fires.

[01:38:02]

You know, so what really? I mean, what's this?

[01:38:08]

You can't have you can't have purity tests on one side only. No, I'm not fake. Just before all the nincompoops at Media Matters started having a fit about this, I'm skeptical about the big Jew space laser. I'm not you know, I'm not entirely on board with the theory that God sold it to the Rothschilds after the ninth, the whether to the Rothschilds after the 1929 crash.

[01:38:35]

But we live in a we live in a society where somehow AOC can accuse Ted Cruz of trying to murder her. And that's completely normal, but not beyond the pale. But Marjorie Taylor Green, this is all ridiculous. You know, the hypocrisy thing doesn't work because the Democrats to go back to what we were talking about before the break, the Democrats are a block and what they want is power.

[01:39:11]

And they will put up with anything, however nasty, as long as it advances their power. So Madrie Taylor Green can't talk about the big new space laser, but for example, CALIPSO, Louis, the great Louis Farrakhan. He can accuse let me see if I can get this right. The Jews are peddling bad marijuana in order to feminize the black male. That's the official position of the whatever they call the Fruit of Islam guys who everyone all the Democrats go and pay heed to you.

[01:39:54]

Kandice, Minister Farrakhan, the the Jews are peddling bad marijuana in order to feminize the black male.

[01:40:06]

So that hits all four of the Democrats core constituency states, Jews, blacks, gays and potheads.

[01:40:15]

They all insulted that. I don't even know. And it's so it's such a perfectly constructed conspiracy. I'm not even sure on what grounds you object to it. Oh, well, obviously, I'm you know, there's nothing wrong with feminizing the black man. We just don't want the Jews doing it.

[01:40:31]

He can say stuff like that and he remains the powerbroker in the Democrat Party and everyone still goes and kisses his ring. But on the Republican, you know, I don't know.

[01:40:42]

Why can't we just say this? You know, will you disassociate yourself from me? I know I won't. I just don't. It's nothing to do with me. I didn't say it. People say all kinds of things. I don't care, but know the rules when the rules apply to one side. It's like until eventually he reached the point, as we have after November the 3rd, where you're a domestic terrorist, if you complain about voting machines stealing votes.

[01:41:15]

But on the other hand, Marc Elias, who started the Russia hoax, he can complain about fraud, voting, fraudulent voting machines in the New York 22nd Congressional District.

[01:41:28]

And when the rules just apply to one side, it's not a game anymore. It's war. And that actually is like a terrorist war because it's not Geneva Conventions war. You just doing what works, you just doing what works. And right now, it's working better for the Democrats than it is for the Republicans.

[01:41:47]

And I'm not I'm not saying anything. You know, when you say that the Jew spaceless is causing the California forest fires, you're actually letting Democrat environmental nater policies off the hook. The Democrats and the environmental extremism are causing those forest fires just as it's nothing to do. Who cares about Hugo Chavez and the Chinese Communist Party and the voting machines? The object is to pin it on the Democrats, the Democrats. So this stuff isn't helpful. But at the same time, playing this game, because they take out you think, OK, they've taken out Marjorie Taylor Green.

[01:42:29]

This is how you squish Republican congressman. Okay. They've taken out Marjorie Taylor Green. So I may be I may be safe now and may be able to get to the end of my term without without them coming for me.

[01:42:42]

No, they've just chow down on Marjorie and worked up an appetite for you, you boneless jelly spined nothing of a guy. That's why there's no point. There's no point to this. It's for the people. It's the people of Georgia, like the space race are stuff. So be it. If they don't, they'll get rid of her. All the rest is rubbish.

[01:43:03]

Markstein in for us. We will take your calls in just a moment.

[01:43:09]

Breaking news from the Wisconsin State Assembly, which has approved a resolution to throw out the governor's emergency order. So that will end the statewide mask mandate in Wisconsin. You will be able to cast away your mask and feel some lights on your lower nose directory.

[01:43:38]

You will be able to inhale directly through your nostrils, the the great the great breath of fast food establishments as you perambulate down the sidewalk inhaling all the great hamburger and hot dog and taco smells.

[01:43:58]

Wisconsin State Assembly has thrown out the governor's emergency order, ending and thus ending the statewide mask mandate. Wisconsin is unmasked.

[01:44:11]

Let's go to Holly in the free state of Florida. Holly is in Tampa. Great to have you with us. What's what's on your mind, Holly?

[01:44:18]

Hey, Mark, great talking to you. Look, I wanted to put in my two cents regarding the 75 million of us that are potential domestic terrorists. And I'd like to know where the concern was when a couple of days before the capital rally, there was chatter on Facebook and Twitter about a possible and there could be, you know, potential trouble at the Capitol that day. And my understanding is it was reported and I'd like to know who it was reported to, why there wasn't something done about it.

[01:44:52]

And what I mean by that is, you know, who made that decision not to give these officers additional resources, such as, you know, maybe some National Guard help or, you know, additional officers or what have you. And, you know, here we had something that I feel could have been, you know, prevented. And this grows under reaction, which has now resulted in an overreaction. All right. Well, we've got Nancy Pelosi out there now, you know, saying that we have gun toting white supremacists in the House of Representatives.

[01:45:24]

And AOC is saying that Ted Cruz is trying to kill her. And I'm thinking, hey, we need to just take a breath, step back and really just kind of look at what happened and what could have been done to prevent this, which I think, you know, it could have been prevented and nobody didn't.

[01:45:43]

Yeah, this is actually a very good point, Holly, because what what happened on January the 6th was not a domestic terrorist attack, but an appalling humiliation for the 24/7 big budget security. Which is the most lavishly funded on the planet, as always, being told, oh, 17, 17 intelligence agencies have said that the Russia investigation is real. You know, no other country has 17 intelligence agencies to make that determination and they all monitoring Facebook and Twitter and all the rest of it.

[01:46:21]

And as you said, it would have been very easy just to deploy extra police and all the rest of it so that goofy guys in Viking horns don't just swarm in to the national legislature of the global superpower.

[01:46:36]

So you're absolutely right that it was a what was going on was actually a humiliation for the 24/7 surveillance apparatus. And interestingly, as you say, they turned it into something else. They decided this is what fascinates me, Holly, is most of the chatter, almost all the chatter was from Facebook and Twitter. And what did they do? It was Paula. We have to shut down Paula. So, Paul, gone every all the conservatives are on, Paula.

[01:47:09]

They've all been vaporized in one fell swoop. Now, the CEO has been fired. Paula isn't coming back in a recognizable form. And and it's gone because they were responsible for this thing. There's actually no evidence for that. But out there on Facebook and Twitter, there was a lot of evidence. And the and the state, the 24/7 Big Brother state we've all lived under since 9/11 failed. That's actually a massive national security failure again. And that's why they had to turn it into a threat, because otherwise, the idea that a bunch of goofballs can just invade the national legislature would tell you that all the security theater we have lived under is absolutely worthless.

[01:47:54]

So thank you for that, Holly. That is a good point. And we will close it out in just a moment.

[01:48:01]

My thanks to Mr. Snidely and to crash in New York City and to the best team in radio. No question this has been Mark's accident. I read that right. It's this has been Markstein, as you said. Anyway, I will see you on the TV tomorrow night.

[01:48:22]

I'll be in for Tucker on Fox News. And I will see you all next week in Impeachment Week while I'll be on the telly at 7:00 p.m. Eastern every night and be here tomorrow for Open Line Friday on the one and only Rush Limbaugh Show.

[01:48:42]

Don't miss it.

[01:48:44]

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.

[01:49:43]

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.
