Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Well, happy Friday to you. It is great to be back. Guest hosting for Mr. Limbaugh, People of Earth. I'm thrilled to be here. What a week, by the way, holy moley. Is the Biden regime going to shred any more of the Constitution? I know it's it's only lunchtime, but what else can happen? We have a lot to talk about today on the show, 800 to eight to 28, 82.
But the thing I'm most excited about, Crash, is Laura from New York City.
It's open line Friday. So many things going on now. This is also in addition to being the largest audience and talk radio, it's the most informed. So you're probably aware of some of this stuff. We're going to drill deep into to some of the other issues that have been breaking just in the last 24 hours. But, you know, the secretary of defense, the the the one under the Biden regime has ordered a 60 day stand down of the United States military because he wants to review which one of our soldiers are possible extremist.
And I'm sure if you're a a proud parent of someone in the military, you're thrilled about that communist move. I'm sure you're excited about that. Also coming up, the FBI continues to visit homes of people that some of were not even at the. The big event on the 6th, which is being lied about by everybody in Congress and people in the Senate and of course the news media, it was not an invasion. It was not insurrection. It was not an armed violent attack to take over.
Our government, it was none of that, but that plays very well for the kooks that are trying to impeach the president for the second time this week. But the FBI visited the home of one Trump supporter. He had been working in D.C., but he wasn't even at the rally. They hung around and spoke to his wife for a while. Little kids were there. I guess she's pregnant. They were all friendly to a point. And then they said, you tell your husband, we're going to keep coming back until we can talk to him.
And at that point, I guess you have to look for the armband. You have to say, oh, Mike, oh, what is happening now? Hmm, well, we know we know we're we're 16 days into the most popular president in American history. He got let me check here on CNN. 742 trillion votes, all legal. So you could see why he took the 10 foot fence that was there three weeks ago and made it a 12 foot fence around the Capitol.
Mr. Biden is vowing to allow even more refugees into the into the United States, I'm sure he wants them all processed by the 2022 election. Hunter Biden, of course, in the spirit of never, ever milking the Biden name or government marketing or tax dollars or anything, he's coming out with his upcoming memoir.
It's called beautiful things, yes, and he's made it about his battle with drugs and the reason they're doing that is so if you or I try to talk about, you know.
Is he a traitorous individual? Did he do anything with China or the Ukraine, is there a bunch of felonies on the hard drive that the FBI hid from us for 11 months?
Then the people marketing the book could come back and say, how dare you, how dare you attack someone fighting a battle with addiction?
And that's how the game's played. So we got a two million dollar advance. And when you think about it, that was nothing compared to the China money he has and the Ukraine money he has, especially the Ukraine money. By the way, he's still 10 percent hooked into a Chinese company right now. You may want to check that over at MSNBC Research People Research, research, Joe and Mika. China is now promoting an education drive to make their Chinese boys more manly.
So later on in the show will juxtaposition that with the brilliant testimony of the candidate to be the secretary of education, being questioned by one of the most intelligent people in government. In my opinion, Senator Rand Paul and I just found the juxtaposition there fascinating because China is saying we need to make our our boys more manly. And we're over here saying we need to make sure our boys can run on the girls track team and wrestle with girls and wear the clothing and use the restroom.
You get the gist of it. So that's all coming up. But one of the biggest stories today on The Rush Limbaugh Show, by the way, my name is Ken. I'm on Gabb now. Gab, Dotcom, Gab, Dotcom. I've been banned again from Facebook. I think that it's either my second or my third warning because you know how Facebook feels when you start talking about the truth or something. You're out of there. The pedophilia is OK for you folks involved in that.
You know that on Twitter and Facebook you could put, you know, like ten year old girls in bikinis and make all kinds of horrible remarks.
But if you come up and say, hey, when are they going to recount Pennsylvania's vote, well, then you might get a call from the FBI. There's a big article in TIME today, TIME magazine. I'm not a big fan of Time magazine. Because I think they're part of the establishment, gutless media, for the most part, nothing against the photographers, because let me just say that the Time magazine photographers are among the best. Let's face it, those are some of the you know, those the Time magazine photographs have redefined the history of this country.
They've captured some beautiful moments. But as far as the content, come on, man, a lot of it's garbage. This particular articles called The Secret History. Of the shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election by Molly Ball with the help of three other editors and researchers and what is so scary about this? And feel free to weigh in on it because it is open line Friday 800 202, 2082. Basically, the author, along with the people that were part of this, which reads like a conspiracy novel or thriller, but they are so brazen and arrogant about how they colluded.
To propagandize against Donald Trump more than a year before the election. And they say right in the Time magazine article, there was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes. One that involved protesters and leftist organizations and liberal icons and one that coordinated the resistance from CEOs, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL CIO. This is all going on a year. Before President Donald Trump.
In my opinion, was re-elected, I know I just triggered a whole bunch of people, I understand the people at time are very excited now, but hey, you shouldn't have Bragge like this because by bragging about this, by bragging about your meetings at Zuckerberg house where seven of you met or Dorsey's house, and by saying that we're going to run this on tick tock and we're going to run this on Facebook and Twitter, understand that social media and mainstream news media has been censoring and discriminating against you and me for the past.
How many years, especially after President Donald Trump came down the escalator in 2015?
So in one sense, you're saying we don't take a side, we're objective, and now you're so emboldened, you come out in TIME magazine.
And you go page by page by page, you give eight, it's it's you have to check it out again. I'm not a big fan of recommending TIME magazine, but it's worth reading. How they refer to the president and his henchmen and his lies, you know, the typical garbage from the left.
Right here, it said Trump plotted to block a legitimate vote count, yet those of us who believe in Trump and supported Trump, what have we been doing for months now? We've been trying to get anyone to do a legitimate vote count, anybody, any of the seven states, any court to look at it. But we're getting the same talking points over and over. You know, there were 60 courts that said there was no evidence. That is not right.
There were 60 courts that said we're not hearing this. We don't want to hear this. There's a big difference between you as an American citizen going to a court. Imagine if you were going to a court to defend yourself, your family member or something, you have stacks of evidence.
You bring the evidence in and you say there's been injustice and, you know, the left knows all about injustice, it's one of their best testing words. They plug it into everything. You know, there's social injustice, there's food injustice, there's radio injustice, there's clothing, injustice, shoe injustice, whatever. So you go up there, you have a legitimate situation.
You go to the court and they say, yeah, I'm not I'm not looking at this. And then people like Ben Sasse and Chuck Schumer. They say, welp, another court, another court rejected the evidence, now they never reviewed the evidence because anybody with a brain that reviewed the evidence.
Would see there's some real issues here.
So all these people that have come out and said we care about election integrity and Donald Trump didn't do this and Donald Trump did that, understand that everybody from TIME magazine to CNN to MSNBC, you will be yelled right off the air, like Mike Lendell on Newsmax.
How many people saw that? Wow, was that crazy? That was crazy, I couldn't believe it. I called some of my friends. I said they got to Newsmax. They got to Newsmax, so now Newsmax is on that list, let me tell you what the list is, mainstream media and social media, you are not allowed to question any type of covid narrative, right?
But we do that on this show, this is what free speech is, the EIB Network is free speech. My show in Harrisburg is free speech, but we are losing free speech. You're not allowed to question any covid narrative narrative, any covid treatment, and he covid case, no test no or death no.
And if you do, you're in trouble and you're not allowed to even mention the word our lieutenant governor, John Fetterman did. He said last week, I want to play the sound bite later. It's hysterical.
He said that you shouldn't even have the right to be on social media if you still believe there was election fraud. Now, let me say that to you again. You should not have the right.
Of free speech, if you believe there's election fraud, he went as far as to say that, saying there's election fraud or there are inaccuracies or irregularities in this election, that doesn't even count as free speech.
So once again, we have idiots at all levels of government.
But I am so stoked because we are going to get a freedom check in from around the country today, 800 Twohey to 2082. I want to hear, is your state still free? I know there's a battle going on in Wisconsin. Florida is still free. One point five million people want to see the governor of California recalled. I think we're moving the dial a bit.
I'm talking about we, the people. So we'll be back with more of your calls on the Rush Limbaugh Show on Ken Matthews. This is The Rush Limbaugh Show. Greetings, people of Earth. My name is Ken Matthews, guest hosting for Mr. Limbaugh is planning on being back as soon as possible, he's taking another day of rest. 802 eight to 28, 2082 it is open line Friday, and I, as Keith, our call screener said, you really set the table in the first segment and we did.
There's just so much going on.
And the thing that concerns me as a fellow American and a fellow Rush Limbaugh listener, the amount of rights we are losing and the amount of rights we gave up and I was driving in today and I'm the day you fill in for Rush, you're always taking notes.
You take notes when you get up in the morning, the night before in the meeting with Bo, in the car at the stoplight, you just you can't take you can't do enough research because it's the Rush Limbaugh Show. So do I have enough, do I have enough? Have I done enough research? Imagine if the news media was like that, but they're not. But anyway. And I was thinking one of the reasons why. We have given up so many rights.
Like this idiotic thing about wearing two mask, or you can only have eight people in your business and they have to be thirteen point nine feet apart, and if not, we're sending the cops over. One of the reasons we did that is because this was such a gradual attrition. This was such a gradual thing that by the time we got to the secretary of education. Nominee of the Biden regime two days ago saying, well, what's what's wrong with a college man who thinks he's a woman competing on the women's track team?
That's how far we are.
We left the atmosphere we've landed on. We've landed on Planet Stupid because it was a gradual thing.
Nobody just showed up and said, guess what, your First Amendment's gone. Because it is, but no one just said it that way, they started back under Obama and even before they said, well, we'd prefer if you didn't say that. That way, you should say it this way, and then they started redoing manuals and they started the B.S. with the teachers and talk about a tough job. There's so many great teachers out there in this country and many of us are successful because we had great teachers.
But think about the restrictions on them, talk about walking on a figurative minefield, saying the wrong thing, wondering if the 15 year old is going to file a complaint with H.R. or with the Southern Poverty, whatever, or it's just terrifying. But we've got we don't have free speech anymore. And we've lost probably half the the the meat on the Second Amendment. And but it's been gradual. It's and it's been gradual. Now, we're not going to take this from you.
We're just going to limit it. We're going to regulate it. You can't have the folding, flipping thing and that's too long. And you can't have this many bullets.
And we're not going to regulate your speech. However, however, if we think your speech is a little inflammatory, well, we'll just vote to take you off the committee.
Speaking of which, this is how bad it's it is all these men and women who voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Green, the congresswoman, from her committee assignments, they all took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. However, I guess they overlooked free speech. They overlooked the First Amendment. So Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, John CatCo of New York, Fred Upton of Michigan, Nicole Malliotakis.
I think that's it. Malliotakis, thank you. I knew that crash would be in my ear with that, because you're from New York and she's Greek, obviously. Kahless, him menace of Florida, Chris Jacobs of New York, young Kim of California, let me just say this, Congressman Kim. That is the best rap name I have ever heard. Young Kim Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida, Chris Smith of New Jersey and. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida, those, ladies and gentlemen, are the Republicans that sold out free speech.
Now, these are the same Republicans that don't have a problem with Maxine Waters saying, I'm going to go up and take the president out. You see someone that disagrees with you, you get up in their face, you follow him home, you follow him into the restroom, into the into the restroom, in the bathroom, get up in their face.
They don't have a problem with that. They don't have a problem with Alexandria. Cassio Cortez, by the way, congratulations. Not only is she the youngest bartender in Congress, she is the most recent winner of the Jussie Smollett Award.
She is the first Latina woman to win the Jussie Smollett. I'm a pathological liar taking advantage of a violent situation award. And before her, you know, it was a it was another black man. It was Bubba Wallace with the fake news in the garage door so that, you know, you got to hand it to the Democrats, at least they're consistent. So these 11 people chose to remove Marjorie Taylor Green from her committee assignments and leave Congressman Eric Swalwell.
On the Intelligence Committee, it is intelligence where I crash, I think it is. He's the one that has a very interesting relationship with a young Chinese spy.
More calls coming up next on Open Line Friday, 800 202 2082 800 202 2082, it's open line Friday. There is so much to there's so much going on.
So part of me is like, oh, my gosh, can you believe the kommissar has been installed in the government behind 12 foot fences and can't put together a sentence yet? I'm talking about Mr. Joe Biden.
He's been in 16 days, 16 days. Have you seen the damage this guy has dropped on us in 16 days?
Can you imagine if there was a news media that was real, we would actually be getting some objective coverage about stopping the wall and opening the border and amnesty and bringing in more refugees. And the job loss just in my my state, Pennsylvania alone from the Keystone pipeline. But there's job loss because of that in Canada.
I mean, the shock that he has brought. To what was a recovering economy, it's amazing. 800, 28, 82, and very quickly before we hit the phones, St. Louis is now considering spy planes. To survey the city 18 hours a day, they're going to vote on that. You knew this was coming. The spy planes, the irony about the militarization of law enforcement that you always hear people like Elaine Omar whining about or Maxine Waters, the irony is the left has always muscled up.
Domestic enforcement, more than anybody else, they're always the first to do it. The left is the first to say the state police are coming to your house if you're not wearing your mask. What about if I'm selling crack? Well, we got better things to do than that. Now, that's not a slight on all state police, but you know exactly what I mean, you know exactly what I mean.
The FBI is rallying the troops now to go after people that might threaten Joe Biden's. Fair election, even though they've done nothing, there's no probable cause, but when has the FBI ever needed that? Like what good is a FISA warrant anyway, but they're still going to label people as terrorists, they're still going to throw those words around like insurrection. And then when Black Lives Matter in L.A., when they blow up a police car with a Molotov cocktail or drop a concrete block on a beat, cops head from the 10th floor.
Well, that's protesting. So America is awake now. That's the best part of 2020. We're awake now.
We see it. We get it. We get it. GameStop. We get it. America is awake now, I was talking to Bo in the meeting and I said, and it might have been Kevin two in the same meeting. And I said, I think America just figured out. And this audience probably already knew it because it's the most informed audience in radio, but I think millions more are figuring out. That the jig is up, that most politicians don't have our back.
Most news is designed to get us to do something, not to get us to think. Social media has been spinning this thing for decades, while years it hasn't been decades yet. Social media, I think Facebook just turned 17, by the way. And I made the comment. We now understand you and I don't have to be someone. That would need to drop five million dollars on a particular stock buy to throw a market move or whatever may be going on.
We just need millions of people to spend 20 here or 30 there or 40 there, I think what happened is we've been so brainwashed by how the system. Works. As opposed to how it should work, we've been brainwashed into oh, no, no, no, no, you're not you're not smart enough for the stock market. You're not smart enough to be a senator. You're too stupid to understand what Dr. Bill Gates is explaining about the vaccine.
He's a computer programmer.
His no medical training at all, but we're getting it now, now we're realizing, wait a second, there's a hundred senators, but there's 330 million people in America. There's 435 representatives, maybe one or two off their. And there's 330 million people. There's about, what, 2000 idiots in the mainstream news media that are making real coin? But there's, what, 80 million people that voted for Trump see, once you start doing the numbers, you can take a breath and relax.
And then when you start looking at all the alternative options for information, whether it be The Epoch Times or many others.
That's one I can vouch for, and I've heard Rush talk about it as well, but there's a lot of other alternatives out there. So now what we need to do. We need to make sure that you and I and other patriots can communicate freely and openly. Under the protection of the Constitution, and we do that by getting away from people that don't like the Constitution. Like the Zuckerberg in the Facebook's in the Twitters. And the YouTube's and the tech talks.
And the Instagram's. Because it's been painfully evident over the last five years. It came you know, it went to a fever pitch in the last five years because during the Obama administration, the social media and the mainstream media would coddle the president, they protect him and they would just soften our influence in news media and representation and any time the greatness of America would bubble up.
The greatness of the American people, the true diversity of American people, the lack of racism. They would they would pound it down because they could control it at that point, then President Trump called out people like a big boy, like I always tell my liberal friends, you better put on your big boy skirt. Because President Trump just calls it like he sees it, and then he awakened. A nation that had been plagued. For eight years under Obama monism.
He awakened a nation that said, well, wait a second, that that that committee that you may just protects you. Well, wait a minute. The FBI just protects you spent the last 10 years protecting Obama, Clintons and Hillary and Biden's. But now you're visiting me at my house because I have a hat. Now we're awake. It took a while, but we are awake, so you folks in St. Louis, you can weigh in. Let me know how that spyplane thing goes.
If if not now, maybe on a future show, spy planes flying over St. Louis. Now, see, that's the problem. The red hats are easy to see. So maybe I'm sure if we just wore, like, BLM hoodies, we'd be fine. We'd actually get a discount probably at a store or something. It's the Rush Limbaugh Show, 800 to a 2082.
Here's Vincent in Baltimore, Maryland. You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show, Vincent.
Yeah, good afternoon, Matthew. I just want to know first send us in your prayers, man. Rush, you know, I mean, Lord, strengthen and I'm doing is trying to, you know, keep doing what he's doing as part of this in 2016 to hear Sean Hannity and blow my head off. But all the stuff that I didn't know. And so, you know, being African-American, disabled veteran, I come to realize that, you know, there's a whole lot of stuff that's going on.
That's part of it. And I think, you know, hey, I stole the diamonds, but you really can't prove it. I'm going to where you know, it's one of those things when you look at the election and the young man was on the phone, asked about it, maybe didn't say I must've missed it. I want to tell him about my idea for a voter registration situation. He said the next time. But anyway, I think we can do that.
We need to do that 75 million plus. That is definitely wide eyed and, you know, eyes wide open now. And we really need to stand up and do something about what's going on, because I'm not a combat veteran, but I know a lot of my brothers and sisters that are wounded and lost their lives and family members and everything else serve this country to oppose them and keep these things at bay. And now you've got a country full of prominent cowards that are accepting this.
You know, we can't beat them. So they want to join them. And it's appalling, is disgraceful, is disgusting, you know, and I was stupid enough to stay up all night to watch the election and get disappointed at three o'clock in the morning to say, yep, they did it, so.
Wow. Well, I want to know and I want to thank you for calling Vince.
And it goes without saying thanks for your service. And I don't think there was anything silly about staying up late that night. I think we all we all could feel what was happening in the country. We all could sense it. You know, just you just go around and randomly ask people, did you vote for Joe Biden? No. Did you know? Did you know? Not that that's very anecdotal. But it not just the the events, how empty they were with Joe Biden, but just the fact that there's such a level of pushback, especially among RINO Republicans and institutional DC swamp dwelling Republicans, to even investigate.
And the fact that we're we're now less than two years from a midterm election and every single state that was in play because of irregularities and affidavits and testimony and videos, these are all things that exist. I'm saying it very carefully because I don't want to get sued for nine point seven billion dollars because that's how the power brokers shut everybody up. I'm going to get out of this fight now. Someone's coming after me.
But not one of those states has replaced anything, it's all the same broken garbage. It's just like what, the Georgia re-election. The Georgia runoff we had, we had irregularities that several people found and documented, and they use the same stinking machines to rig a Senate election and we all just sat there.
So the big awakening is coming, we just have to be very careful, obviously peaceful, but we have to be very careful and strategic about it, because every day we find out another member of the GOP that sells us out, which I think is good, actually, because if you're going to go into a political battle and to see people exposed this way, it it makes the battlefield a lot clearer.
I think 822 2082 is the Rush Limbaugh Show. Open line Friday. We'll be right back.
Thank you so much for tuning in to the EIB Network, The Rush Limbaugh Show. My name is Ken Matthews. Always a thrill to be here and grateful to the team and to Rush. Rush, of course, planning to be back as soon as possible. Just needed an extra day of rest. He's been very up front about that with you. And it's open line Friday, which is always exciting because I get to talk to people around the greatest nation on Earth, which is just very exciting.
And I just spoke with Vincent. You heard him a moment ago, the veteran and from Baltimore. And he brought up the fact and I thought it was a great metaphor. And we were talking about the Time magazine article where the people in the article are bragging about all the left wing.
They come right out and say, liberal strategists, left wing groups, progressive groups, they're bragging about how in the fall of 2019, that would be a year before the 2020 election.
A guy named Mike, I don't even want to say his last name. But a guy named Mike. Who was a big adviser to the president of the AFL-CIO and started a. A data company and blah, blah, blah, hardcore leftist and Stratego strategies are OK strategist rather think I just made up a new word, little George Bush moment there. So for nearly a quarter century, he worked with the nation's largest union federation and he proudly brags about marshaling the latest tactics and data to help their favored candidates win elections.
But I want you to think about this for a minute. A year before the election, he says right here, some time in the fall of 2019, I became convinced that the election was headed for disaster. And I must protect it. OK. The fall of twenty nineteen, you mean when we had the greatest economy in history? When Donald Trump, his poll numbers were through the roof. When his international and domestic policies were rockin, that's when you thought the election was headed for disaster?
Of course it is, because you're a liberal.
Back in the fall of 2019, thousands of liberal strategists said, oh, my God, if this keeps up, he's going to keep winning and winning and winning. He just keeps winning.
My God, if this keeps up, every black person in America will be gainfully employed, will never get a vote again. So in the fall of 2019, that's when the game began. That's why Vincent said. Who called a moment ago from Maryland, he said it's like people that steal the diamonds and they know that you can't prove they stole the diamonds and then they wear the diamonds in front of you. And I thought that was perfect because that's what this Time magazine article is.
Let me read a little more. A group of liberal strategist. He brought together in the early 2000s, led to the creation of the Analyst Institute, a secretive firm, a secretive firm that apply scientific methods to political campaigns. Now then this guy and his team went on to meet with wait for it.
Every social media platform president, everybody in the news media, every major leftist progressive organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center to Black Lives Matter, to Greenpeace. And they started strategizing a year, a year before the election.
This is in the height of Donald Trump's popularity. There was no. The election is going to be stolen talk, then they had to create it, they had to create it. And if you go back to the time line, which most news media people ignore, they pretend we're too stupid. We don't even read what happened yesterday. But if you go back to the timeline, you'll see when that is. That is when the game began, when whack jobs like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi said, you know what happens if a year from now the president doesn't concede and the seeds were planted?
So if you can read this Time magazine article, it's basically a confession of the left stealing the election, the only part they leave out are the facts. Not one time in 27 pages did they say although there were some irregularities. Although seven states. We're confused about a letter, they left that out. They left that out, they turned it all into, oh my God, Orangeman is going to steal the election. What are we going to do?
Well, we're going to do what we always do. We're going to start a false narrative. We're going to target people that go against it. We're going to censor people, bad people, and then hopefully the brainwashing will be complete. So three a.m. election night 20-20. When the you know what hits the fan, everybody will go, oh, we knew that was going to happen. We'll be right back on The Rush Limbaugh Show. This certainly falls under the joke of the day, but it's true.
Congressman Adam Schiff, many of you know him as Adam Schiff for Brains. He is pushing Governor Newsom, who's about to be recalled, to appoint him to be the attorney general.
That's who you want to be, the attorney general, Mr. My whistleblowers are invisible. My evidence does not exist. I'll be the attorney general.
Thank you, as always, for tuning in to the Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB Network. Or a big open line Friday, it is crashed, hit, it lasted from New York City, it's open line Friday. So many exciting things going on around the country. Governor Newsom now at one point five signatures. They're trying to recall Governor Nuisance, which hopefully is going to happen in Wisconsin. The assembly voted against the dictatorship to remove the mask and not make the mandatory.
And then the dictator, the governor in Wisconsin came back and said, no, you're putting it back on. But we just said we just overruled you. You cannot overrule me. I am in charge. See, that's the problem with so many blue state governors.
They think they think that we work for them.
I know it's funny, but think about it. This has been going on for years, this whole concept of.
Yes, can I speak to the honorable senator?
So honorable. When the heck did that happen? Put my employee on the phone, please. I beg your pardon, Will. Senator. So put the senator on the phone since my neighbors and I pay for the senator's life. See, that's the reality. This is what we've awakened to in 20/20. This is what Donald Trump. Brought into play, I'll tell you a great story, and no one covered this story that I heard of, no one in the mainstream news media anyway, Donald Trump.
Ask the people of the Bureau of Land Management, I don't have the notes in front of you, but I remember most of it, he said. We want to get the the majority of the people at the Bureau of Land Management out of DC, out of the DC swamp. We want to get them throughout the country, places like Arizona or Colorado, where, you know, those are big spots for the Bureau of Land Management. So we'll get them out into America where they're actually managing the land instead of being in the DC swamp where, you know, people get sucked into that.
It's like a garbage disposal, except they survive it. And then they they just put themselves first. So anyway. Out of 287 people, only 41 stayed. Everybody else said, I don't want to leave Washington, D.C.. So he reduced another fat federal bureaucracy, but what does that tell you? About someone working for the Bureau of Land Management, which I'm still trying to figure out what they do, it's kind of like alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
I still don't know what they do. But that would be the great name. That would be a great name for a store, though, wouldn't it? Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms were open till 10:00. But anyway, getting back to the Bureau of Land Management. So you had all those people working in Washington. And when the president said, yeah, I want you to move out to Phoenix because we want more, you know, whatever influence there.
I'm not leaving I'm not leaving the swamp. I like my cocktail, my cocktail hour and my my brunches with lobbyist D.C. It's so pervasive. And this is what we're all awakening to, the filth.
Of not only the Republican Party, but the Democrat Party, the news media, they're all in the same big happy family. They they intermarry, they're in the same clubs, they're in the same sororities. They're in the same secret societies. I mean, it's it's so obvious and incomes the outsider, and because initially when he first ran, he was kind of orange, but I still I voted for him in 2020 and I'll vote for him again. In comes the outsider and everybody turns on the guy, but every single department, he attempted to make more efficient using common sense.
Using common sense, Washington, in the case of my capital, Harrisburg, Pa., it's not driven on common sense, it's driven on how much money can we get from you? I heard a reporter this week talk about the innovative budget of Gov. Tom Wolf. I have to laugh because there's nothing innovative about Tom Wolf in Pennsylvania. But the main part of the budget was a tax increase, income tax increase. That is what the left does. That's why Washington exist.
Washington, D.C. does not exist, exist to represent us. How can they? You want to represent somebody in middle class America, in flyover country, and you're living in a six thousand dollar apartment.
And you're getting speaking fees and lobbying gigs and you know the drill, you don't represent us. That's why people were so angry when Senator Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania turned on the president, but he had never been a big president, president fan. He had never been a big Trump fan. Anyway, this is that wonderful awakening that's taking place right now all across America, all across America, people are saying, wait a second.
Why does that particular politician get to do that, but then. They get rid of. The other woman or the other guy or they go after this guy or they want to get rid of Josh Hawley, they want to whatever they were going to do with him, censor him or I forget. I've never seen anything like this. I mean, historically, you only see this in dictatorships and third world countries. Speaking of of lunatic's. I know that wasn't a smooth transition, but you'll understand in a moment I want you to listen to this 82 year old lunatic.
Only in my opinion, I have not proved she's a lunatic. I do worry about her health. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, listen to what a sitting U.S. congressman makes up about history and then the mainstream media runs it.
But what's so interesting about all of this is they try to make themselves the victim when indeed they are following the president of the United States of America who had advanced planning about the invasion that took place in our capital. And even there's information that some of the planning came out of individuals working in his campaign. As a matter of fact, he absolutely should be charged with premeditated murder because of the lives that were lost with this invasion, with this insurrection. And so, yes, we are threatened, but we can't back up.
We've got to fight as hard as we can to see to it that there's some justice for the president of the United States to sit and watch the invasion and the insurrection and not say a word because he knew that he had absolutely initiated it. And as some of them said, he invited us to come in.
OK, so there you have a string of lies and talking points woven into a sentence full of poop. But that's standard fare for Congressman Maxine Waters. But everything, the insurrection, the invasion, he knew premeditated murder. Are you out of your mind? Think about the absurdity of the Democrat Party. Donald Trump is the first president in 31 years that has not put us in a war or moved troops out of our country to another country. He's all he's done is bring troops back.
Which, by the way, Biden just put troops back in Syria. That was a few days ago. Oh, you didn't see it on CNN? Well, you weren't supposed to, but anyway, think about that. So. So the first guy. The most pro Second Amendment, pro military, pro law enforcement guy president who for 31 years, first guy in 31 years who didn't start a war. And that's Democrats and Republicans. And she's charging him with premeditated murder.
This woman's a clown, it's clownish, it's clownish. And what's so sad about it, if you live in California, I just had a friend of mine text me said I was just driving through Hollywood and I flipped you on. I didn't know you were on today or whatever because he listens out there. I'm not going to mention his name because he'll be arrested and and targeted and because that's how that's how they roll in the blue states.
There is no free state free speech in the blue states. There's no free speech in blue states, there's really no Second Amendment in blue states either. It's just and we've accepted it, like I said last hour, if this happened all at once, if all at once. It all came down and they said, look, we're going to open the borders, we're going to shrink the military. We're going to let China run part of our power infrastructure, I don't know if you heard that that happened on Monday.
Joe Biden let them have access to our power grid again, that's something that Donald Trump blocked them from doing. Because he didn't think it was a good idea because their fingerprints are all over the wooden flu and the Bidens, et cetera. He didn't think it was a good idea that China had access to so much of our. Important infrastructure, whether it's power grid or communications, but Mr. Biden, who many people know is China, Joe, it's just it's his nickname.
It's not mine. Mr. Biden, let them back in. So there's a level of absurdity that's going on here. And because the news media is obsessed with an impeachment based on a fake event and it was a fake event, it was not an invasion, it was not an insurrection.
It was not an armed attack to take over America. It was none of those. It was a protest that sadly, because of a group of people inside the protest, turned violent. And. It was set up to do that. It was facilitated to turn violent because when people asked ahead of time, should we have more police at the doors, should we have the National Guard people in Washington, D.C. and on the capital? Said, nope, we're fine.
So it was a disaster waiting to happen and it was triggered by. Three known antifa, bad actors. That ended up roping people in and innocent people were killed. And Ashley Babbette. The woman who I think she's 34, she was an Air Force vet, she got shot dead in the throat. She didn't get shot dead by Capitol policemen. She got shot dead by someone on the senator's security detail. And they won't tell us. They won't tell us.
Well, they eventually will because we're all doing Freedom of Information Act request. But I want to know which senators, plainclothes security detail took out a Glock and shot an unarmed woman in the throat. Now, remember, you're not allowed to talk about this. So the last thing you want to do is put this on any platform that's run by leftest, because this is freedom of speech and that will not be tolerated, especially by the Democrats.
We'll be right back on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Welcome back to The Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB Network. My name is Ken Matthews. It's always a thrill to be here. From my little bunker in. Central Pennsylvania. I couldn't wait to share the story with you today. This is just just it's just a wonderful story. And it again, I mentioned this at the top of the show. I wanted to compare these two items, so let's get right to it. This is a BBC story.
China, communist China promotes education, drive to make boys more manly. So right there, I just tridgell that triggered, not triggered. But that would trigger would be a combination of jiggling and giggling trigger. Like I just triggered a whole bunch of people. Just that headline that communist China is promoting education to make boys more manly. A notice from the China Education Ministry. Has caused a stir after it suggested young Chinese men had become too feminine. Can you imagine that headline over here?
Oh, my Don Lemon would still be crying. I can't come into work today. You'll have to let Cuomo do it.
The message has been criticized by as oh, as sexist by hundreds of thousands of online users. But some say China's male celebrities are partly to blame for a while.
Communist Chinese government has signaled concern that the country's most popular male role models are no longer strong athletic figures, you know, like army heroes. I'm reading this.
Even President Xi Jinping, a well-known football enthusiast, has long been seeking to cultivate sports stars. So last week, the Education Ministry issued a notice with a title that left no doubt about its ultimate goal. Now you folks in the public school system match and imagine you getting this memo.
Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh because the the whole country seems to be in flames someday. Anyway, the proposal, the proposal to prevent the feminization of male adolescence.
That's the directive that went out to the communist Chinese teachers.
Oh, no. Just think of first of all, it's free speech, which is great, but not that there's free speech in communist China, but you can't even say that. Imagine saying that in the teacher's lounge just the next time your governor gives you permission to go back to school or work, you have to get a signature. When you go back to work and you take off your seven mask and you're in the teacher's lounge, just say, you know, damn, what do you think about these these guys, these Sois boys getting all fired up to see how it plays?
Communist China called on the schools to fully reform their offerings on physical education and strengthen the recruitment of teachers. Vigorously developing particular sports like football with a view to cultivating a student's masculinity. But there were some earlier signs suggesting such a move was coming last May, a delegate of China's top advisory body see Sefer said that many of China's young males had become weak.
Timid self basing. And we're trending toward. Feminization. He claimed that that would inevitably endanger the survival and development of the Chinese nation unless it was effectively managed.
That's like the most conservative thing I ever heard come out of communist China right there. Sifu said the home environment was partly to blame with most Chinese boys being raised by their mothers or grandmothers, he also noted that the growing appeal of certain male celebrities meant that many children did not want to be army heroes anymore. Meanwhile, in our country, here's what was going on when Rand Paul was interviewing our future education czar. So you don't have a problem then with boys running on the girls track, meet swimming mate's name it, you're OK then with boys competing with girls?
Respectfully, Senator, I think I answered the question. I believe schools should offer the opportunity for students to engage in extracurricular activities even if they're transgender. I think that's their right, you know.
Well, a lot of us think that that's bizarre and not very fair. You know, I come from a family that has a lot of girls who have been have competed in college athletics, have been state champions. And frankly, you know, some boy, that six foot two competing against my five foot four niece doesn't sound very fair. I think most people in the country think it's bizarre, you know, that it's just completely bizarre and unfair that people and you're going to run the Department of Education.
You've got no problem with it.
That concerns me.
And I think it's this kind of thing is going to lead to really just the vast majority of America. Just wondering who are these people that think it's OK from what planet are you from? I mean, to think it's OK that boys would compete with girls in a track meet that that somehow would be fair.
I wonder where feminists are on this. I wonder where the people who supported women's sports are on this. I mean, we all going to be OK with hulking six foot four guys, you know, wrestling against girls. Do it. You know, it just makes no sense whatsoever. And so I think the fact that you seem to be afraid to answer the question or you basically do answer the question by saying it's OK without saying it's OK, really, is a statement a real problem we have and a disconnect between what middle America and what most Americans actually believe?
I even think most Democrats don't believe girls should run in the boys track.
Maybe Valentine's Day is coming up, by the way. Treat yourself to the Limbaugh letter, it's a it's a way to say I love me so much or someone that you care about.

You'll be energized by the whole thing. 822 2082 is the number. My name's Ken and it's Open Line Friday. Let's go to SABR in Anchorage, Alaska. Welcome to The Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hi, how are you doing? Many thoughts and prayers to Rush and his family and I to my question really quick. So I'm curious as to is the continued farce of this impeachment of Trump, actually, because he did win the election and he still is our president? Well, that is a great question.
And I want to thank you for calling. But, you know, you bring up a great point.
I understand the entire attempt to take out Trump started when it started in 2015. We first were alerted to it. And I'm not going to make this too long, but it all ties together, say, OK, back in 2015 that the the president started polling great, that he was polling great and the Hillary campaign noticed this. So that's why when WikiLeaks leaked all these emails, which I downloaded, because they're harder and harder to find, they said Trump polling very good with women, black Americans.
And one other demo I forget. And then the next sentence said something like this, and I am paraphrasing, We need to reframe Trump as sexist and racist, and that's when it began.
That's when the B.S. began, because he's not a sexist, he's not a racist. And when you look at the behavior of Joe Biden and you put him under the lens of sexism and racism, holy moly, I don't think he stands up that well. I don't think Joe Biden stands up that well anyway on his own. But anyway, so then the next thing was what?
The Russian collusion theory. And how ironic that a story just broke today two weeks after President Donald Trump declassified the Russian memos. Remember, this was about three weeks ago, two weeks after most are not released. Remaining documents illuminating handling instructions for informants, Steel and Halper State Department's role in false narrative, the now discredited Russia collusion investigation. These should have been declassified, but they remain out of public view in a delay that has thwarted the former president's goal of the American public.
Seeing the truth of this, the operation that took place on the 6th is also built on lies, just like the second impeachment is. And yes, to answer your question, I think that people are either afraid it will come out that President Trump actually did win or or he will come back and be a political threat. In coming years, next year, the year after the year after 2024, whatever, I think either way, the swamp. Is terrified of President Donald Trump.
Do you know there are some people in West Palm Beach now trying to make it so he can only live in Mar a Lago certain times during the year? This is the level of hate for this guy. It's totally unwarranted because five years ago.
It didn't exist five years ago, people weren't driving around saying Donald Trump is racist, Donald Trump's a sexist, Donald Trump is this a phobe. And that IFOP know everybody was getting selfies with Donald Trump.
He's celebrity. That's what's so funny, because he he left the Screen Actors Guild and they said they didn't want him, but I wouldn't want to be in a scumbag organization either if I was him.
But I just left that yesterday, everybody turned on Donald Trump. And they turned on Donald Trump because Donald Trump was getting too close to what most people in Washington despise. Giving we the people more power. And saying we never had a president say that we never had a president say, by the way, why don't you stop by the Oval Office and we'll talk about that prison reform thing, and then three weeks later, he signs prison reform.
We never had a president that said, if this is really an issue to you, why don't we talk about it? They show up this group of advocates for. Historical black colleges meets with the president, I saw the pictures, in fact, Alveda King was there, the niece of the late Martin Luther King Jr., who I had the honor to meet in D.C. a few years ago. It was it was surreal. It was a beautiful moment. She was at that meeting.
And so here he is at a meeting. And within an hour he goes, why are they making you redo these forms and go through all this garbage every year? Why don't we just set it up? So the next ten years, these historical black colleges are funded and everybody looked at Trump like, well, that isn't how it worked.
Well, that's how it works now. Done. Do you know what that does to a hack like Nancy Pelosi or some guy like Joe Biden who's been hanging around for 47 years? You know, it is open line Friday, 800 to a 28 82, if you can tell me anything Joe Biden accomplished in 47 years or any good thing he did in the last 16 days. I would love to hear and I'm sure the audience would, but the reality is Trump rolled in and got more points on the board than most of these career politicians and hacks on both sides of the aisle.
And it has terrified everybody. And the fact that there are Republicans with a straight face.
That are saying, oh, yeah, we should impeach him. I mean, he he got those people killed, they're idiots, they're idiots.
They're either dumb. Or. Someone's got something on you or you're afraid I don't know what it is, but you're not constitutional because if you were constitutional, you would not be doing the talking points. And the constitutionality, for example, of. Former Vice President Mike Pence, nobody ever said Mike Pence can pick the president, nobody ever said that that was a talking point. With a little bit of truth in it, to shut down people and to give Republicans a fallback who hate Trump, but Mike Pence had a constitutional obligation when he saw that seven states were either fraudulent, unfair or inaccurate.
Constitutionally, he had an obligation. To send those states back, to send those electoral votes back to Pennsylvania, back to Wisconsin, back to wherever and say, look, this is not clear to me, we're clear on the other 43. You guys need to figure it out, send it back to me in 72 hours, will open the envelopes and see what you say, but he chose not to. He chose not to. So this president was let down every step of the way by people that he supported and helped.
And people that you and I thought would support him, that was why it was such a frustrating thing. To go to this, to go to this event, I did not attend it, but I'd been to other rallies for Trump, but it was it had to be so frustrating for Americans because we were looking to people like Mike Pence.
We were looking to our senators and our congressmen and and in defense of art, we have got some great congressmen in Pennsylvania. And I know across the country there are some real fighters out there like Louie Gohmert and as far as senators like Holly, and there's some real fighters out there. But America, for the first time ever, looked to the GOP to fight. And you not only let Trump down because so many of you were so selfish and self-centered.
Or maybe you were just compromised. I don't know, I don't know, but we looked to you. To fight for us. And that's why this was such a kick in the stomach for so many people that voted for Donald Trump because we all thought, oh, this is this is going to be fine because all our Republican, our Republican representatives on the state level and the national level are going to fight for us. They're going to get in there.
They're going to show the proof. They're going to fight. And then the calls were made and people said, do you want a career? You better back off this fight. You want to be on a committee, you better back off this fight. Do you want to have a great career after you retire in two years as a lobbyist with a firm, with liberals and Republicans or whatever, then you need to back off this fight?
That's the reality. That's what happened. That's what happened. People that we pay to represent us told us a long time ago, shove it up your butt. I don't need your vote anymore, I'm making crazy cash and I'm not going to fight for Trump because he's a big meanie on Twitter and he makes me insecure and don't think that that wasn't running across some of the people's minds like Chuck Schumer. I don't even know how Chuck Schumer can be in the same room with Donald Trump and not feel like an 11 year old, seriously, because that man is so inept.
But, hey, that's just my opinion. And it's just free speech, which will now be banned off my Twitter account like I was last week.
This is the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Open Line Friday continues next open line Friday on the Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB Network, 800 eight, 2082. My name's Ken Matthews, thrilled that you're tuning in and let's go to Mike in is at Mesa, Arizona.
Is that how you say, Mike? I don't know, we can't the theory is we hey, Peter, it's an honor to speak to you and we certainly pray for Russia's healing. I'm a retired schoolteacher. I live in Mesa, which is metropolitan Phoenix, Maricopa County. We are one of the we are one of the six to eight states, as you know, that's on election night. Everything was Grenouille. It still is. Finally, our Arizona Senate has gotten a spine and has sued the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and held them in contempt for withholding the machines and the ballots that the supervisors said, well, we'll have our own we'll have our own inspector go in and look.
And the Senate said, no, we'll have our person go in. They have refused. And what this this is bigger than president because our nice congressional district was won by a very, very small percentage by a Democrat.
I remember that. I saw those numbers actually just barely won.
And our governor certified these electors that he knew was wrong. And I believe that's treason. So this is going to be big because if Maricopa County gets this turned around, there will be other states that say, hey, wait a minute. If it happened in Arizona, it may have happened here as well.
Well, I am thrilled that you called Mike and I just saw that story breaking earlier this morning. And you're absolutely correct. And isn't it amazing that the mainstream news media will not cover this?
Because it would go a great deal. It would go against the narrative that we're all crazy, that Mike and Ken and Mr. President, Donald Trump were all crazy.
This never happened. So they just keep it all out of the out of the mix, but the reality is and this is you know, this also that also happened in Pennsylvania, it also happened in Georgia. I'm not sure the other several states, but I know for a fact that's how it played out that the legislature would say to the particular people in charge. In the case of Pennsylvania, it was the former secretary secretary of state Boockvar, by the way, she resigned last week, our secretary of state in Pennsylvania.
And in two weeks, in two weeks from today, our case goes to the Supreme Court. Yeah, you're probably thinking, well, I didn't hear the girls on The View talking about that, why are you coming off with this crazy dance? And there's another case pending in Georgia as well. The biggest thing that I, in my opinion, should anger Americans about what took place in this election is the way that both party establishments shut down the investigation, even when the people spoke and fought for it.
For example, in Pennsylvania, just like in Michigan, just like in Wisconsin, we did find some people at the state and local level with courage.
And they went through the proper procedure. And the governors or the secretary of state just said, no, we're not doing that. It's like what Michael said in Arizona, they were supposed to turn those machines over weeks ago. So this was just every single time the Democrats get caught, they slow walk.
Anything they slow walk everything. And by slow walking at sea, they know the majority of Americans are law abiding people and they certainly know that the majority of trumpeter's we're not going to go out and burn buildings and blow up businesses. That isn't how we do it. We're going to follow the procedure. We're going to get the copy of the Constitution. We're going to use our own money. We're going to get an attorney and we're going to say, well, we'll just go through this and justice will prevail.
I got news for you. Justice doesn't prevail as long as people like Nancy Pelosi. And Chuck Schumer and Andrew Cuomo are in positions of power. Justice doesn't prevail that way because those are the type of individuals that use the state police or the FBI or the DOJ to protect their own fiefdoms, not to protect us. So I'm thrilled that you called Mike, because I bet you that's the first time a lot of people are hearing about this. But, yeah, in Maricopa County, there is another legitimate lawsuit based on facts and evidence.
But you've been brainwashed to believe.
Like, what's his name, senator? What's his name? Hold on a second. Not senator or congressman. I said, hold on a second. Where is it? SACE Ben Sasse. Ben Sasse is another one who's spewing that talking. Point sixty court said there was nothing there. That's a bald faced lie. It's a bald faced lie. But if if you're not allowed to talk about it on social media and if you go on Newsmax. And you're shouted down and they just walk off the set.
I'm talking about Mike Lyndell, think about so where do we go as the American people other than the Rush Limbaugh Show or a handful of talk radio shows? Where do we go? We're we're at wits end, we want to be law abiding, we want to follow the procedure. You know, I got a call yesterday from a listener in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and she was saying how many times she tried to get Senator Pat Toomey on the phone since January 6th.
She never did 14 calls. She never did. She finally got someone in his office.
And they were rude to her. And she said. Well, you work for me and the person in the office said, no, I don't. And I thought, there's the problem right there. Just a quick reminder. More than 80 million of us voted for Donald Trump. There's 330 million of us in the country, not including the illegals that Joe Biden will let in by Sunday. So we're basically letting 100 senators and 435. Representatives give or take, and 50 governors.
Pretty much to determine our life and our future, and we have we have something they don't have and they don't use anymore, the Constitution. We'll be right back.
Open line Friday, another action packed hour of it.
Coming up next, your calls.
Always a pleasure to be here. Thank you for being so gracious, as always. I would expect nothing less from the Rush Limbaugh audience, America's anchorman should be back next week.
800, eight to 28, 82, it's open line Friday, and it's been an exciting one because so, so much is happening. And keep in mind, by design, the progress that Patriots are making is never highlighted in the news anymore. It's by design.
For example, we had might call from Arizona, I believe, Mesa, and he was talking about Maricopa County, how the lawsuit is now moving forward, because what many people don't know, just like in Georgia and Pennsylvania, in both cases where the state assembly's constitutionally and legally said, hey, we would like to see this recounted, we'd like to see this audited. The Democrats in those states said, and I'm paraphrasing, hey, dude, up yours.
And this has been going on for months, for months. It's true.
And that's why you get these comments from people like Ben Sasse, you know, how many judges have turned down or have read where rejected the evidence or whatever, there's certain wording they use and it's the way they make it sound, as if a bunch of judges heard the cases.
But in reality, a bunch of judges just deemed not to take the case, and that's again, that's what the news media that's what the liberal ideology in the Democrat philosophy of 2021 is, that sleight of hand. For example, January 6th. Was were there tragic events there? Yes. Was it bad? Yes. Was it unfortunate? Was it sad? Yes. We can say all that, just like with covid. Is covid bad? Yes.
Did some people die? Yes. And that's where everybody breaks from reality right there, then we get into stupid stuff. Well, three masks would be better and you'll need to stay nine feet away and we're going to have to do an anal swab, OK? That's where it gets stupid. Just like with the election stuff. All we have wanted as Donald Trump supporters. Is a fair and accurate count of all legal votes in any county or precinct where there were irregularities.
That is our constitutional right and it is the reason that federal law requires that every precinct keep hard copies of election data for twenty two months.
Now, why do you think that would be federal law if we're just supposed to shut up two days later because CNN and Fox told us to? And just pretend it doesn't exist. So the awakening that took place in 2020. The the reason the Awakening took place is not only alternative news media and news sources and then the consistent truth and fact revealing on. The Rush Limbaugh Show and other places that we can trust, it took place because for the first time we saw everybody fall into the same tank and we said, whoa, wait a minute.
But why is Fox saying the same thing? CNN is seen as a bunch of liars.
What's going on here? That entire Time magazine article that I shared with you at the top of the show, which pretty much admitted that for the past, starting starting in the fall of 2019, leftist organizations in a coordinated effort. Met with everybody from Facebook to Tock to the AFL-CIO to BLM. And said, here is how we are going to manage the message and propagandize the election, but way they did it a year before the election, what was going on a year before the election, Donald Trump's ratings were through the roof, the economy through the roof.
In fact. Some news organizations were even saying, well, if Donald Trump continues on this trajectory, he's going to be re-elected with a big margin. So the left got together in 2029 and came up with this this narrative that we started to hear in 2029. And what was that narrative?
Well, what happens if he doesn't leave? What happens if he loses any and he and he beats everybody up?
You mean what happens if two thousand people show up for Joe Biden's inauguration? And 27000 armed troops are there. Am I the only person that has a question about that? The crowd was less than 2000.
There were 27000 troops, most of them within force, they just replace the 10 foot fence around the Capitol with a 12 foot fence, double sided wire.
What's up with that, Mr. Most Beloved Guy? Well, Joe Biden got more votes than Obama. No, he didn't. No, that's just what they're telling you. They can't show you. Why didn't they show you? Why didn't they show you? It's a simple question. You can ask your governor, you can ask your secretary of state if Joe Biden won, can't you show us how that happened? Of course not. It's that simple, and it's no longer just a handful of conservatives or some talk radio listeners, it's most of America that is looking at this along with the rest of the world and saying.
Wow, I just stole it. I wonder if he believes it. See, that's the other part with Biden. You don't know because he hasn't had a coherent statement or sentence, a complete sentence, you know, with the right adverbs and pronouns.
I don't I don't know grammar as well as I used to because my brain is getting mushy. But I mean, this guy hasn't been in the game, what, two or three years, he probably does. He probably thinks he's still a senator. I don't know. I don't know.
But the fact that in that entire Time magazine article 27 pages long, not one time did they talk about irregularities.
Illegal voters, absentee voters know postmarked no ID required no signatures and the list goes on and on, and that's the other big myth.
The other big myth is that the Republicans want to disenfranchise voters.
How do you figure? It it was easier to vote under Donald Trump than any other president in history. In fact, you could walk in and say, hey, I want to vote, OK, here, fill this out. I don't need any ID, no, I can be three days late. Yeah, I can vote at the wrong precinct. Sure, I'm going to vote for Biden. So it happened. The only thing the conservatives have wanted is voter ID.
So the same thing that the Democrat Democrats want for every aspect of your life, you're not getting on a plane unless we put a swab in an orifice. You're not going to go back to work unless I violate Hepple laws and know if you've been vaccinated. You're not coming into the mall unless you have an ID. But if you want to vote, hey, you know, if you can make it over from Mexico tonight, in and out, so that is the absurdity of the left, but no one in the news media.
There's no one left that has any guts, there's like five people, you can count them on your hand and they're whole.
Isn't it funny that people like John Stossel, who I think is incredible and gosh, Atkinson, Sharyl Attkisson, Sara Carter, James O'Keefe, Dinesh D'Souza, Dan Bongino, I could list the whole bunch.
And, you know, a lot of the other ones, too, like tonight. Tucker Carlson, Mark Steines filling in for him, Mark Stein, the celebrity conservative. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go on a cruise with. He's filling in for Tucker tonight. But isn't it funny that all those people.
Are the people that the mainstream news media target to take away their free speech, why would that be? I would think that mainstream news media would want the most opinions, the most sources. Something else was released earlier this morning. I haven't had time to review it or play it, so I'm not going to play it on Mr. Limbaugh Show until I review it. But the entire video from Michigan where they brought in the votes late at night and they blocked off the area, well, that's been released now.
You would think that was breaking news. You will never see that on a news network in this country. Because how could that even work? They've got a guy who doesn't even know he's president for 16 days, they're trying to impeach a guy who they say is not president. And they told you, you're crazy if you think the election was stolen, do you think they're going to show you more video? Do you think they're going to show you more proof?
Think about it. Let's go to Derrick in Omaha, Nebraska. Derrick, welcome to The Rush Limbaugh Show. Thank you, Ken, I love your show. And from the state of Nebraska, prayers for Rush. Thank you. I was curious to get your opinion about section of the Time article, I thought it was terrifying and I'm just going to read a couple of sentences here. Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated, says Ian Basson, co-founder of Protect Democracy.
But it's massively important for the country to understand that it didn't happen accidentally. The system didn't work magically. Democracy is not self executing. What's your opinion on that?
In my opinion on that is he pretty much admitted that this was an ongoing effort to make sure that there was never an honest count.
That's what that sounds like to me. I would agree with that. I mean, that's what it sounds like, because where all those people what was that organization, protect democracy or something, what would you call it was called to protect democracy.
OK, why wasn't why isn't protect democracy in the seven states in question right now going through the audits and the counting machines and the vote, why aren't they there now? Why aren't they counting all? Why aren't they doing it now, protecting democracy? And then they could call up and say, Mr. Trump, sorry, you were wrong. Biden did win. No, they're nowhere to be found because that wasn't their game plan. On when you're stating.
Proper outcome of the election was defeated. I know. Can you believe the proper outcome? Yeah, that's based off the assumption that you already know what the outcome is. Absolutely correct.
I'm so glad you read that, Derek. And I hope you're going to share it with a lot of people, because I got to tell you, it really jacked me up this morning when I was reading it, because I know the history of this. And I'll be honest, I didn't think it went back that far. But when you go back to October of twenty nineteen, you can't help but wonder how many people were involved in this. And then you look at corporate people were involved.
They had Republicans coming forward. They had all these organizations, they had half the population brainwashed into believing that Donald Trump had stolen the election before he was even re-elected. And apparently it worked for a lot of the news media.
This is The Rush Limbaugh Show on. Ken Matthews will be right back. This is Open Line Friday on The Rush Limbaugh Show.
The EIB Network, 800 to a 228 82. My name is Ken. What the heck is going on in Nebraska? Maybe someone can call and explain what what Ben Sasse is thinking. If you're not familiar with Ben Sasse, he thinks he's the most honest man in the whole world. And he just doesn't like being attacked for being so honest. But many of the same party officials who applauded and 14 cussed me out in 16 when I refused to vote for candidate Trump and again when I declined to serve on his re-election committee in 19 and again when I didn't vote for him in 20.
Now, many of you were hacked off that I condemned his lies that led to a riot.
Well, that's the first reason we're hacked off, because you're lying. Because his lies didn't lead to a riot. That's why we're hacked off, we're not hacked off with you because you're an honest guy. Why is that why is that that disloyal backstabbers who don't have a grasp of the Constitution are always the first to whine? They're always the first to say, you don't like me because I'm criticizing Trump, no, you threw the man under the bus and you called him a liar.
That's not criticizing him. There's a difference. There's a difference, a big difference, asked Rand Paul what the difference is. Rand Paul knows the difference between criticizing someone using your brain and then just saying, oh, Trump's a big fat meanie liar and he caused a riot.
Let's be clear. Yeah, let's be clear. The anger in the state party has never been about me violating principle or abandoning conservative policy.
You have no clue what the anger in the state policy is. I bet you don't even know. As we all sit here flapping in the breeze, as we've looked to our representatives across this country at every different level in a party that claims to care about us, are you ever going to get a correct count on this or are you just going to keep telling us to shut up and put our mask on?
I'm one of the most conservative voters in the Senate. What the anger has always been simply about me not bending the knee to one guy. But my disagreements with President Trump have never been personal. They've always been about genuine affection for the constitutional order.
Oh, stop, stop. I can't even I can't even process that anymore. It's genuine affection for the Constitution, which we all helped shred together with the Democrats, because that is in our best interest. The last thing we want is this guy coming back again. So we're going to go after him next week.
He's a civilian, for God's sake. Anyway, sorry.
Let's go to Margaret Margaret in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I was there thirty years ago. I probably missed you. Oh, well, hi, Ken, nice to talk to you. I'm calling because. There is a way that we can get control over the media. And it's basically I'm retired military, but I have four million in the stock account. And you don't get rich in the military, the way to get control of our company is to own a stock in the companies.
Owning stock gives us a vote and we can make recommendations and get our recommendations voted on. For example, we could recommend that the company not be able to contribute to any political party or public political action group indicates that we feel that a company is a monopoly. We can make a recommendation to break up the company in the best interests of the stockholders, the company. And so those are things we can do. The problem is that we've all been convinced that we can't own stocks, that we aren't smart enough, and we've been essentially encouraged to put our money into mutual funds.
When you put your money in the mutual fund, you give up your vote.
So, for example, for example, Facebook, Twitter, the company that owns Google, most of the major media companies are all have 60 to 80 percent, even some cases higher owned by mutual funds. Well, those mutual funds are all our money. Well, we are we are putting our money into Vanguard and BlackRock, and those companies are the highest institution owners of the companies that are really messing with us. So. It's not hard to invest.
You buy companies, you know. You companies, do you you don't buy companies you don't use. And then for every share you own, you have about. Well, Margaret, that is that is such a wonderful American message. I am so glad you called and explained that so eloquently. I attempted to do it an hour ago and I couldn't do it. But what you just said makes so much sense. I mean, we got a little taste of it last week.
And with the GameStop thing and we got to see, let's just say normal middle class investors, if you will, they kind of rattled some of the big players on Wall Street to the point where the players on Wall Street did what the government always does. If you or I get too much power, they say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's shut this down and change the rules.
Have you ever noticed that? If we the people get too much power. Oh, I didn't know you were still there. I want to ask you really quick and then I have to go. What do you think about purchasing silver now? Do you think that gives we the people an edge? No, it absolutely does not ownership of stocks is what we have to go over, OK? And the stocks we really absolutely need to get first.
Well, thank you for your call, Margaret.
Open line, Friday, 800 to a 228 82. Before we go back to the phones very quickly, I have to share this with you.
And this this is why so many Americans are waking up now. Think about what's happened in the last 16 days. I'm pretty sure I'm close to the number. As far as being accurate, it's about 47. Executive orders, memorandums, and there's another thing, there's another term, there's three different levels that Mr Biden has been signing off on, and one of them was, you know, he shut down the the Keystone pipeline licensing and everything. And a lot of people are losing jobs already.
And even even even in non pipeline states, they're losing some jobs. And people in Canada have lost jobs over that, too.
So with that in mind, I want you to know that, you know, the president has, you know, like all kinds of czars, you know, the climate czar, the carbon czar, the what the heck am I doing, czar, whatever. It's all very bizarre. And they're very big on clean energy. And you know that the goal of the left is to get rid of fossil fuel and the combustion engine because it's just horrible. I mean, why can't you just have a jet that runs on wind?
Anyway, I want you to listen carefully till the very end of this soundbite. And I do not want to mention this woman's name. She works for General Motors. I'm sure she's a lovely lady. But I just want to point out the fact that she is selling the electric cars. OK, because there's going to be a big push again for this, and I'm sure Biden's going to be buying a lot of electric cars because that's usually how some of this stuff gets off the ground, becomes part of government fleets, because not enough people want to buy electric cars.
People love the combustion engine. People love trucks. They love sport utes. They love them. They love that.
That's America. And the now the motors are getting in, the engines are cleaner and cleaner and cleaner, the technology is so incredibly clean compared to my first car, a 1969 Pontiac Geto judge. Not that I'm bragging, but then I totaled it. So the brake has no weight. Anyway, listen carefully to this. It's a it's a must hear the batteries are in the trunk. No, the battery in this particular design is a T shaped right down the center and across the back seat area is everybody thought we killed the electric vehicle.
We did. So we're charging the batteries right now.
So here we go. Now the real questions come. So what is charging the battery right now? I mean, where is the energy coming from? What's the source of it? Well, here it's coming from the building. I mean, it's coming from the building. So what what's creating the electricity?
Miss GM, it's coming from the building, you just plug it in. That sounds like an AOC answer. It's magic. Well, how do you generate the electricity magic? Is it what's our mix of power? What's the mix of power, he says, Oh actually Lansing. Oh, actually Lansing, Michigan feeds the building. So this. This is the this is the problem with the left right here. This is the problem with the left. That's why they still don't understand why the minimum wage fails consistently.
This is the problem. So what's the source? Oh, it's the building. No, what's the mix of power? Oh, it's the city of Lansing. It's a lancing for its power to the lake, so I don't I don't know. I bet they're a bit heavy on natural gas.
There she goes. She goes. I'm not sure. Maybe it's coal or natural gas, huh?
I'm sure it's everything we're trying to destroy. But it's electric, man. It's so cool.
But how is that made? Well, you're just a racist, stop asking those questions. My gosh. 800 202 2082, by the way, she never said you're just a racist, she was very nice, but I just thought it was funny. What is the source of this electricity, that hole in the wall? Oh, man, I'm glad I got that college degree. Let's go to Rick in White House, Tennessee, you're on the Rush Limbaugh Show, Rick, thank you.
Hello again. I want to thank you for the wonderful job you're doing in Rush's absence. And our prayers are with him. Appreciate it. I know I have a little bit more of a direct question and maybe a comment is I'm having a real problem and getting behind the Republican Party and even Donald Trump in the future unless I see a clear resolution to the current voter fraud situation. How am I going to be convinced to go to the polls next time when the people who broke the laws broke the Constitution, that the Supreme Court wouldn't even hear and all the other courts?
I'm not convinced that it's worth my while until that problem and that issue is resolved.
Well, that that's a great question. And first of all, Rick, I have already decided and I've done this publicly, not that it matters, but I've already decided that any politician that said fraud, what a fraud. I didn't see any fraud. You're done. You don't exist to me anymore. You won't get a dime. You won't get my vote. I don't care if you're a Republican. I don't care if you're pretending to be a conservative.
If you are actually going to look at 80 million people and insult them and say there was no fraud, you're just sour grapes.
So you're out. That's number one. Number two, don't forget, there's still over 20 cases at play right now.
And one of them two weeks from today is going from Pennsylvania to the Supreme Court, so we still have an opportunity to see how President Trump is going to play play this. Not that I'm making excuses.
Not not that I'm making excuses for him, but he is trying to fight off another fake impeachment next week. So he's kind of busy.
But I was really I was really pleased with his change of attorneys in his defense because he wanted to say that the fraud was addressed during.
Yes. Yes. I'm so glad you brought that up. It's amazing even President Trump is using that as a litmus test now for building his team. And I think that's great because I think to move forward and have someone on your team that is in denial about what actually happened, that's poison. So I couldn't agree with you more, Rick, but that's how I've already come out and said, like Senator Toomey and there's other Republicans in my state that have sold out the president both at the state level and the local level.
And I'm done with them. I it's this there's nothing to even talk about. The fact that you wouldn't fight for a whole bunch of voters means you're never going to fight for me again and the system won't get fixed.
So we'll have to fix it. In the back of my mind, I have extreme confidence in Donald Trump. And I know he's not done, and so I'm I'm just sort of waiting in the background, but I do have a concern and I appreciate you letting me know. I didn't know there were 20 more trials waiting to happen.
There's still there's still over 20 more open cases. The media tries to pretend that there were 60 cases and they were all bungled by the team and the courts rejected them. None of that. There were 60 cases that no one would take. But look at what even in Maricopa County.
I don't know if you heard the guy call earlier, Mike, for Maricopa County. I didn't hear that.
Yeah, the lawsuits, the lawsuits moving forward, America, Polk County, there's another one moving forward in Georgia. So they just keep trying to beat us down like whack a mole every time we come up with something constitutional. Well, what about this? What about that? They just keep beating us down and we're still in the fight. We the people are still in the fight. But I agree with you. I think President Trump is still in the fight.
I just don't think he's a guy that gets to that level and then watches someone steal it and walks away. So I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what's coming, but I know he's definitely he's definitely done this, Rick. I think he knows who he can and cannot trust anymore. I think.
Well, I have no confidence in bar. I know.
I know. It's like every day it's like every day another Republican throws him under the bus. I'm like, dude, just call me. All right. Well, thank you for calling, Rick. I have a super weekend 888 228.
Eighty two. It's the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Open Line Friday continues next open line Friday on The Rush Limbaugh Show. And we were just discussing the guys that made the crew here, Adibi, that. You know, that it it makes you.
If you like President Trump, you like him even more and you feel worse, because I do believe this is a man that respects people's ability and he respects he's a business guy and he puts people in places. And, you know, I think the biggest letdown for him was I don't think he realized that people at the DOJ or FBI or some of the other alphabet agencies could be such scumbags. I think he really believed that.
I don't think he believed it in the sense of I'm the president. You're not. I think he believed well. Jim, you know, James Comey is the head of the FBI. I mean, he's got to be a legit guy. He's going to he's going to he's going to be honest and fair. And these guys will give me a fair shake. This attorney general, he sees the evidence. He'll give me a fair shake. I think he thought that.
But that's not what the swamps like. He is such a threat to people in the swamp, to their to their political aspirations, to their wealth, to their power.
I mean, the day he was inaugurated, he said he wants to give the power back to the people, he probably ticked off every person in Washington, D.C. that day.
What do you mean you're going to give the power back to the people? I like my beach house. To to answer to the caller that called before from Whitehouse, Tennessee, and I forget the gentleman's name, but I do believe President Trump is doing something. I do believe his team is doing something. But if you look at what has just happened to him just in the last month, you had an event that they are using to frame him and the media is playing along.
It was an unfortunate, complicated event, but it wasn't a tenth of what people are making it out to be.
And that's usually the case on the left, whether it's covid, whether it's, you know, something that the guy in a maggot yells and they call it a vicious attack, whatever. I'm just saying that. I don't know how he gets up every day. I don't know how he does it 70 something years old. I mean, I got tired shoveling snow for like seven minutes. I don't think I could be president. I don't think I could do it.
I was huffing and puffing, I hope. And thank God I've got two teenagers that I can exploit. And they were just as tired in about 10, so I don't think the three of us could be president right now, 822, 28, 82.
Where are we going? Oh, no. Alan Roseville, California, hello. Welcome to The Rush Limbaugh Show.
Oh, thanks. An honor to be there. Ben, thank you for opening for me, all of you, because my subject is humor.
And I remember thank you for opening for me. That was good. You also had the deepest voice of the day, Noel, or is that right?
That'll probably get me a Coke somewhere or a vape. But anyway, when Rush started, I credit the Gingrich to and Newt Gingrich are the reason conservatism has lasted as long as I think that great heroes. But with that Contract with America. But he opened and he set the hook with humor with my boy Lollipop born free.
Those are classics. I mean, the guy was just great and he was out of nowhere. The first time I heard him, I thought he was part of WWE or something, you know, outlandish, you know, and we can't recreate that. But the idea is these Democrats or whatever they call themselves, are definitely averse to humor. There is nothing and nothing funny in their view about anything, especially themselves. I mean, we've got that guy Cohen and in the House or Senate, he's a dead ringer for Charlie McCarthy.
Al Sharpton with a white guy hair and Steny Hoyer with Al Sharpton hair.
You know, I mean, they're all it's and, you know, it's the place it's amazing that you bring that up, Noel, because you look at the way that the news media and Democrats have treated pro Trump, people like myself, like yourself, and they call us deplorable.
And the next day we have a T-shirt made of the OR they make fun of us and we put it on a hat. We have fun with it.
We in other words, way to do it. Exactly. Yeah.
Do you remember Tunstall neckerchief standing in that hallway? Yes. Yes.
Tie dyed t shirt with his hair messed up with you. Yes, yes. I, I always thought I'd like to see that guy Lettow led away not in cuffs and leg irons but in a napkin ring.
Yes. I mean, you're absolutely right though.
That's it. And when you and I want to thank you for calling because I do have a hard break coming up. But I want to what Noel is pointing out is and we we talk about this all the time. Conservatives talk about it. Rush talks about it all the time. That part of the conservative ideology is a joy. Of life, it's a love of life, it's a joy of life, it's a oh my God, it's a great day or holy moly, did you see what they called me yesterday?
Yeah. Let let's start making deplorable baskets and selling them because we're we're part of the basket. I mean, it's just a constant energy of life is good. This is the greatest nation on earth. If that's an under lying principle, then you're going to bode so much better than the hate mongering that goes on in the in the news media for one place.
We'll be right back on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
So let's wrap up with a little power of we the people. You know, Californians are fed up with Governor Newsom's authoritarian covid lockdown orders, we talked about that at the beginning of the show. This has been an ongoing thing. California's just unbearable in some points. But the more I see things coming out of California, the more I realize there's plenty of trumpeter's there, because in September, the Newsom approval rating, job approval was 67 percent and right now it's 38 percent.
Talk about power of the people. And right now it's one point five million signatures so far.
This is the recall effort, one point five million signatures, so the power of the people is evident in every state. Remember, a lot of times you don't hear about it.
Because the news media and the political parties don't want to remind us of our power, they don't want to remind us of what a great country this is and hopefully what a great weekend you're going to have.
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, gave them fresh meat. I thought the only way out was to give in and go with them. But just as I started to follow their leader, it hit me.
Adriana's hand met my cheek. Yeah, I slapped him with one quick strike to the face. SNAP out of it. Patrick, let's get the hell out of here. And that's when we made a run for it through the only opening in the crowd. We were only a few feet from making it out. When they blocked us in again, we were goners.
