Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. Well, it's always a pleasure to see you. Happy Tuesday. It's going to be a nice one. And before we go any further, I got to remind you, you probably know what day this is. First of all, let me say, as Rotch has mentioned yesterday, and he mentioned it a couple of times last week, sometimes he just has to take a day.

And, you know, we're all part of this fight with him. And today was one of those days. So they they called me up. And it is such an honor to be here. It's kind of goose bumps for me, not just because this is the greatest audience and the biggest audience in radio. It's it's Russia's birthday. Rush Limbaugh's birthday is today. So happy birthday to Mr. Limbaugh. And you have an opportunity to go to Rush Limbaugh Dotcom, go to the messages for Rush and share your birthday wishes.

I was on the website earlier this morning. I always go to the Web site for I fill in just to get a feel for the latest. And it's such a great Web site. And in the right hand side of the Web site, you can just scroll through millions of Americans and it's just great. That one caught my eye today. There was a family of like 18.

Yupp. They definitely like Rush and they're all in the same pajamas and they're and they're wishing Rush well, so you can do the same thing. You do not have to wear pajamas. You don't have to wear anything. That's the beauty of radio 800 to a two, 2082. My name is Ken Matthews. Again, happy birthday to Rush. It's an honor to be here on this special day and the special day in history.

We have so much to talk about. But before I get into that, I just want to mention, I think one of the problems and this is something that's so exciting about what Rush Limbaugh has built with your help. Rush built, first of all, he reignited and built talk radio to the powerful force it is where people go to for truth and information and what Rush does, he attracts people with discernment. And that's what you have. This is the type of audience Mr.

Limbaugh has built. This is what he has, one of the many things he contributes to every day see most people behind a news desk, behind an anchor desk, they don't have discernment. They don't understand context or if they do, they ignore it. Because that's not what they're there for, they ignore logic, they leave their curiosity at home. That's why the infamous montages of the puppet media, or you may have heard it, called the Mockingbird media, that's why these are so entertaining when you go from network to network news, feed the news feed and everybody says the same thing because that's what the teleprompter said.

And then it's like slamming the brakes on a freight train. You tune into the EIB Network and there's Rush Limbaugh. And it's it's a I'm going to steal something from Sidney. It's like a fire hose of common sense coming at you. And you go, what? So you understand this you understand this better than anybody, and it's not the first time I've said it that the best analysis you get on any given day, most of the time it's the callers that call into Rush's show because.

The puppet media and the puppet Hollywood and the puppet political party, they're doing what they're told, that's what puppets do. I want to give you an example of what happened today. And I want you to weigh in on this 800 202 2082. This is so this is interesting. So we we have a meeting in the morning and the team, the EIB team, we talk about what's happening. First of all, we find out what's going on with Rush.

And he's chilling out, enjoying his birthday today. And I'm sure when his Web site explodes again with all your love, he's going to be thrilled, just like Catherine will be. Then we go through all this other stuff. What about this?

What about that? Do you think this? Do you think that? And we start looking at it and what you find is this.

You know, I used to say it's an absurd pattern, but it's an obscene pattern, how right now and we're going to really drill deep into this, because Rush talked about it a little bit earlier this week, wasn't that much earlier, because it's only Tuesday we're going to drill into the censorship in this purge that's taking a place taking place shortly. But here's an example of. Using discernment. All right, this is a story on Fox News this morning.

At nine, 56 a.m., I'm going to read I'm going to read the headline and I'd like you to weigh in and give me your thoughts on it and then I'll read what the person in the story actually said and you can weigh in on that. Trump acknowledged he bears some blame for capital riot in a conversation. With Kevin McCarthy. Now, the the the sources said, you know, Fox News and there it is last week on a call in with MacCarthy sources right now, exactly one hour later.

One hour later. Trump defends remarks that he made before capital riots, calling them totally appropriate. So President Trump said a few hours ago, actually less than two. His remarks to supporters just before they stormed the U.S. Capitol last week were totally appropriate. Even as they have become the basis for an article of impeachment against him. The president went on to say, they've analyzed my speech, in my words, in my final paragraph, my final sentence, and everybody to the T thought it was totally appropriate.

Trump told reporters as he departed to Joint Base Andrews to visit the border with Mexico. By the way, that's where the president is headed today. He's headed to the Alamo well near the Alamo to show off. Another one of his promises kept 450 miles of beautiful wall.

It's beautiful. It's huge. It's beautiful. So what do you think about that? In within an hour, Trump has to come out again and correct alleged leaks. From his own establishment, if you want to call it, or from his own party, this is what this man is up against. But it is interesting. It's interesting how the Hill, all the news sources stay on the script. So that's why you're seeing they stormed the Capitol. It was an insurrection.

I could not believe my own senator in Pennsylvania, one of them. Well, neither one of them are mine, but Senator Bob Casey said on the floor of the Senate, maybe you saw it that and I'm quoting him because I have it burned in my mind that Tuesday domestic terrorist under the direction of the president led an insurrection against America. Now there's a guy who was so out of touch with reality. He doesn't know what a domestic terrorist is, he doesn't know what an insurrection is, and he obviously doesn't know what leadership is, but this is what we're up against.

So today we're going to talk about some of this purge. I want to get your thoughts on it. Let me tell you of one of my saddest moments during the purge. And it has nothing to do with me being kicked off LinkedIn or banned for another week from Facebook or dumped with Paula like millions of other people. Two things happened that really bugged me. Number one, Facebook got rid of the walk away movement, I thought the walk away movement was so awesome and it still is half a million videos of people that were proud to be an American, proud to be a patriot, proud to support and love the president.

Probably listeners in this audience were part of the walk away movement and Facebook removed it. Gone and, you know, Google's in on it because now Google controls, they control the search.

This is why when you have you try to have an intelligent conversation with a leftist friend and you say, you know, four plus four equals eight. And then they say, hold on a second, I just Googled that and it says right here it equals nine not no, it equals eight. I actually did it. I had like potato chips and I put four potato chips here, but four chips here. Then I put it in a video and then my three year old said, Daddy, that's a.

No, Google said it's nine, so that's where we are, you want to know why people are getting shut down? That's why 71000 people kicked off Twitter. It's just incredible, the walk away movement. Oh, here's another here's another announcement from Facebook. Facebook is removing all content that mentions Stop the steal. How about that? So this is I'm going to call this I'm going to call this insult to injury. So first you get the insult or no, you get the injury and then you say, well, I think you just I think you just stripped me of my rights or you deserved it.

You should have known better.

You need to agree with us. I mean, PBS and NPR can do it, why can't the rest of you? 800 202 2082, what are your thoughts on that, that somebody leaked a statement and I'm going to call it a pretend statement? That Trump acknowledged he bought some responsibility for the capital riot in a conversation with Kevin McCarthy, do we know the source? Of course not. Who need sources if you're trying to take down a president? When was that important?

How many times have you listened to mainstream America and heard some of the greatest?

Journalist of our time, like Don Lemon or Joy Behar or Gayle King say, you know, sources say. And then the story begins. Thrilled to be here today, I want you to call in and comment on that and actually love to get your comments on the president's trip today as well.

And don't forget, it's Russia's birthday, and you could certainly say that when you call.

But more importantly, send him the message at Rush Limbaugh dotcom. I'm Ken Matthews. We'll be right back.

The Rush Limbaugh Show. Happy birthday to Rush Limbaugh. 39 years old today just seems like it's been longer, doesn't it? 800 202 82, this is the EIB Network. My name is Ken Matthews. So, by all means, join the conversation, because free speech is still permitted on this show, as far as we know. Yeah. Mm hmm.

And I want to go back just for a second crash, if you can play that rough cut from yesterday. Go ahead.

Is it fair to think that what is happening to conservatives on social media, I mean, we are being censored out of existence. We are being silenced out of existence, we are being pummeled, we are being threatened, we are being intimidated. Out of existence, so is it is it fair to think that what is happening to conservatives on social media is the same thing that happened to their votes?

Oh, what an astute analysis, of course, it's fair to say that, of course, the same tech gurus behind. Slowing down the frequency of a news feed or neutralizing your share option or searching for words that, well, like I just said, Facebook just said if you put anything on there about stop the steel.

Now, think about that for a moment.

You're saying stop the steel, meaning we believe there was a theft, we need to stop it. You're not saying Joe Biden is or whatever. You're not saying I'm going to go and put dog poop in Joe Biden's yard. You're not saying that. You're saying, hey, stop stealing stuff. All right, that's enough of that. That's enough of that, ladies and gentlemen. I think one of the reasons there's such an overreaction. To. Not just, in my opinion, the re-election of Trump, but there's such an overreaction to everything that's related to Trump, whether it's a rally, whether it's ice cream, whether it's ketchup, whether it's hair color.

I think they're terrified of Trump. Who do I mean by they? Anybody that has a stake in what Donald J. Trump is president of the United States. Has exposed in the last four plus years. President Trump started calling things out even before he was elected, like the swamp. And the porous border and terrorism and a lopsided trade dynamic with China now, believe it or not, and this is the sad, sad story. There's a lot of people in government that benefit from a porous border.

And they even benefit from terrorism and they benefit from war and they benefit from China and China owning their company or a platform or buying some valuable piece of defense equipment. And the problem is. Those people are angry. The major broadcasters, the major company, there's only about six there's about six companies, give or take, and if you do your research, you'll see when the tentacles come out, it all leads back to don't you go, oh, my gosh, they own that.

They don't. Oh, she owns that. He owns it. Yeah. It's just a half a dozen people. So we all right, we start we enter the game violating the Constitution. Just the just the mainstream media concept is borderline monopoly, which violates laws, but then we also we've limited, unbeknownst to us over the years, free speech, because if something's going down on CNN, you're saying, well, I'll just go over to MSNBC.

That's funny. That's that's a good joke there. Well, I. Joe, I'll just listen to CBS. Well, you know, NBC. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

So when the truth started to get through about Trump, that he's not a bad guy, that he's doing a good job. That people love the guy and he's exposing the swamp. Broadcast media, then cable media than social media started shutting us down, this didn't start yesterday, but they are panicking today. It started months ago, months ago, and it reached its fever pitch. With some of the tragic events last week. Now the news media will refuse and they'll continue to refuse to shed any truth on anything, you have to find it on your own, right.

So what is the next thing they did? They shut you off social media. They really believe the people that hate Trump, the people that love Biden, the people that like globalism, the people have no trouble with China building pieces of military equipment for the United States, which is absurd. There are people out there that are OK with that. You know why? Because they're getting rich off of it.

So they have no problem with, well, you know, what's going to happen, the conservatives are going to do what they always do. They're going to innovate. They're going to adapt. They're going to overcome. Happy birthday, Marines, but they're going to do that. And that drives the left crazy. You knock someone off Facebook, they create another platform, you knock someone off here, they create another platform, you target people. The American people know what's going on so much that I could not believe it.

Listen to this. How many times have you heard this, you know, it's bad when the ACLU voices concern about conservatives and Republicans being purged. And the president being purged off Twitter permanently, it's got to be bad for the ACLU to get involved because, you know, that's not that's really not how they roll.

I mean, you can you can threaten a talk show host all day long and they'll call it free speech, but if you say now let's walk down this road, then you're inciting something.

Here's a comment from the ACLU concerned that the movement to deep platform President Trump could be a slippery slope. I'm sorry.

I just never thought I'd hear the ACLU say that because they usually rally behind a small group of leftists with everything.

This could be a slippery slope with eventually unintended consequences, especially for minority groups.

Oh, you don't say so. Let me get this right. The brain surgeons at the ACLU are now saying that free speech should be for everyone.

You know, the world is in flux when that happens. I'm Ken Matthews. We'll be right back.

I have to say, it's it's kind of special. I kind of feel that I'm at Russia's private birthday party. Maybe I'm going to tweet that. Maybe I'll do like the you know, the millennial thing and I'll tweet that out, hanging out with Raj Happy Birthday and then I'll take a picture myself, eating some cake. Happy birthday, Rush Limbaugh. It's me. Hey, anyway, happy birthday, Rush. You know, we mean it. You know we love you.

America loves you. And what you do 800 to to 28, 82 in this time when everybody in the news talks about healing. I just wanted to play a. Something that may and may or may not inspire you, this is from the very articulate, wonderful role model, Maxine Waters. She's a congresswoman. From a beautifully run state, California runs, you know, it runs like a Swiss watch. And this woman is she is clean, she is squeaky clean, she is a role model for anyone who wants to not be corrupt.

So let me just say that and here she is with words to live by. And this was exactly. Ten months after President Donald Trump was inaugurated, the first time I'm I'm a little emotional because these are such words of encouragement, I will go and take Trump out to night.

Here is yeah, we should get this, bringing the country together and the applause and. Yes, now at least some people still have free speech. It just it's just not us. But I want to go to some of the analysis again, some of the cutting edge analysis that you can get from the cloud news network that CNN four people new to the show.

Chris Cuomo, just a brilliant analysis. I didn't I couldn't find Chris for a comment last week, but I want to share this analysis with you. This is during the BLM right now.

Too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets persistent and poisonous inequities and injustice. And please show me where it says the protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Could you show me where it says that? Well, having been to several mega rallies, they're always polite and peaceful. See at Magga. The Trump Sturt's, we know that our parents raised us, don't firebomb police cars, for goodness sake, go to your room.

What did we tell you about throwing bricks at police, Timmy, 800, 28, 82? Let's go to Bill in Akron, Ohio. Hi, Bill. You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show. The the birthday Rush Limbaugh Show.

OK. Hey, happy birthday to Rush and all our prayers to him and his family. I'm calling because I am so frustrated. I'm hearing the badmouthing of the left of badmouthing anybody. Why don't we put this where it should be? Right square. And the rhinos, they did it at the federal level. They did the state level. They let us down. Why don't we talk about primary them, forget about the dirtbag's on the left. We know who they are.

Let's get this and let this get so we get to straighten out. It's got to be the same thing over and over and over is redundant.

Bill, you you brought up some great points and and the timing of your call is perfect. And let me tell you why. Because you're not the first person to say that to me. And we all know that rhinos are actually we need to come up with a better name just because rhinos are. I don't know if you've ever seen a rhino in the wild, but they can tip over a vehicle. And that's not the fighting spirit that most Republicans that I know have said, you know what I mean?

So eventually, Bill, we need to come up with a new name. But Republicans in name only. You're absolutely correct. They are the biggest sellouts in the party.

And they were unfortunately the biggest blockade to President Trump's outstanding agenda, which despite being sold out on a regular basis by the Romneys in the Tummy's and the Kristie's, he still got all that stuff done because there is a core group of patriots that surround the president. Many of you have those in your state and you know who they are. But I want to go back to why the timing was perfect, because it wasn't until last week that the entire country had an opportunity to see who is the real deal and who isn't.

Who is going to stand on that floor and make an argument that this will not stand unless it's fair and accurate, knowing they're going to be ridiculed, labeled libelled, slandered, targeted, they're going to attack your new wife and your new kids home, that this is an awakening that we cannot even put into words.

Bill, I have to tell you, this is crazy because it's it's been such a bumpy ride this last few months with the election. And, you know, it's it's crazy, but I've never been so energized. I am more energized now because I clearly see who is for America and who is not who in the news media tells the truth and who doesn't. Who supports President Trump and who doesn't. And I think to reenter. The peaceful battle with that level of clarity is good, and like Phil just said, and I wanted to point out that the first thing Bill said is the the right way to do it.

See, that's the difference between the right and the left, the right will say we need to primary them, we need to vote them into the next century. I'll never support them again. Meanwhile, the left says, where do they live? I want to blow up their camper.

How did that happen? I'll tell you how it happened. No one really knows, just like Bill said, because the Republicans have never been aggressive enough shutting down criminality, corruption and a lack of ethics for a couple of reasons. First, reason the people that are involved in that might be too powerful and a lot of Republicans don't want to jeopardize their future plans.

So you're not going to get a senator that said two weeks ago, I'm going to object. I stand with Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. They're not going to they're going to get that phone call and they're going to go, oh, so if I don't play ball, I'll never get a lobby job in my life, a lobbyist job.

So that's that that's the problem with Republicans. And then on the other side of it, the other problem, and this is something we need to accept, even though it's redundant, if the news media just cared enough about the truth, we would all be better informed. It's like I opened the show today and I had those two stories. And both sources laptop. They both lapped it up. Both news organizations were excited. To take the narrative and run with it, they keep calling this a an insurrection, storming, breeching, attacking.

You had a bunch of unarmed people. Pushed their way in. It was a big, thick crowd and you had some people let him in, but I digress. Imagine if the news media. Covered. Them like they cover us, if the news media would cover a. Steele dossier. The same way they cover a. Hunter Biden. Hard drive, but, you know, that's not going to happen, so those are the two things that you're a patriot if you're listening to this show and they're not only purging, they're not just purging trumpeter's, they're purging patriots.

They're purging anyone that disagrees with the narrative. Let me give you an example. This happens to be a this is a wonderful example. All right. Perhaps you've seen this. It's on Twitter. It's been posted by several people. They were there. The videos are there. They might be down in a few minutes after they hear this. But United Airlines kicked every single passenger off the plane because they were singing the national anthem.

And this comes right after American Airlines threatened to land the plane because people started to chant now. You may want to take the children on in the other room, I yeah, go ahead, Timmy. Hey, they started to chant USA, USA. You know, that's like sunlike to a vampire right there. Oh, God. Land the plane. There's patriots on board. But wait, there's another airline involved, and you would think after the airlines had their had their financial butt handed to them, after the Democrats and China crashed our economy, you would think they'd be a little more accepting of free speech.

But apparently everybody's in on it. Delta kicked two women off, they were talking about Trump and, you know, because you're listening to talk radio, we can get a little excited talking about Trump. We can get a little excited talking about America and the military and how awesome the rally was. And that frightens some people, I'm thinking probably some young liberal men were traumatized by two middle aged women and they were told to get off the plane. Yes, because someone complained.

And on the way off, this is what worried me, this is the only part of the story that I I'm really concerned with on the way off, someone said, what happened? What are you getting kicked off for? And the one woman said through her mask, because, you know, that's mandatory.

She said free speech.

And then a whole bunch of obviously people that don't own a copy of the Constitution said, get off the plane, get off, get off.

And I'm like, wow. Wow. So this is how we learn who the Patriots are and who has a clue about what's going on. It's exactly what. Rush said yesterday it is a purge, it's not just conservatives, though, you better make sure you stay on board. You better not show up on Facebook with a alternative treatment for covid. And you better not show up on YouTube with a stop the steel video because you're going to get you.

We'll be right back.

On the Rush Limbaugh Show, the number is 800 to to 2082. My name is Ken Matthews, guest hosting for Mr. Rush Limbaugh on his birthday on the EIB Network. You can wish. Rush, a happy birthday at Rush Limbaugh Dotcom, I want to follow up with a little more information on that American Airlines story. Apparently, it was Flight 142 from Washington, D.C. to Phoenix.

That's already a powder keg. You're going from Washington, D.C. to Phoenix. Anyway, the pilot came on.

We're hearing now from the Daily Mail that Trump supporters who boarded the flight. Were seen on video chanting USA, USA, USA. The pilot spoke on the loudspeaker with a noticeably frustrated voice, I'm quoting now as he issued a stern warning to the rowdy passengers. And I've also heard that some were not wearing their mask.

So. I think it's obvious we need to comply 800 to 28, 82, but the captain, by the way, for people who fly and have like I know there's a lot of pilots in this audience, you know, the captain, he runs he runs the show. And if he thinks for any reason that anything could be unsafe or distraction to the to him or the crew, he can actually legally put the plane down wherever he like.

So I would keep that in mind, that's why I drive most places now 800, 282, 28, 82. Oh, let's go to Gordon. Straw, is it Strausberg Co., sir, that is correct, sir. Welcome to The Rush Limbaugh Show. Thank you.

10 guys, something for you to think about, something for the Republicans and conservatives. Think about for one man. It took almost all of Congress. It took almost all of media Black Lives Matter Antifa. It took judges, Hollywood election officials and maybe even more people across the world to get rid of one man. Think about what we would have if we had a hundred or a thousand of those type of people in office.

Wow. That was so well put. Gordon, you just I got to tell you, this is what they are terrified about. This is why they cannot let him run again. This is why they want to impeach him with like 47 hours left, eight days left. They want to impeach him. They want him to resign. They want to charge him with the 25th Amendment violation and they want to charge him with sedition.

They do not want a repeat performance. The last thing they want is what Gordon just said.

They don't want you and you and you and your neighbors going, you know, Trump really pulled back the veil. I need to get more involved. That's the last thing Chuck Schumer wants. It's a bunch of people that actually have brains. Running in New York or this is the most terrifying thing.

This is why I'm in such a good mood, because there's been an awakening. There's been an awakening. Look, I said it before when the ACLU says, oh, you guys shouldn't have you shouldn't have knocked Trump off Twitter.

I don't know if you know the whole story, but first, he they they limited his tweets from his. Account account, the real Donald Trump, Trump, and then they they he said, OK, I'll just go to the White House. One, they they got rid of that too.

And this is what is so frustrating.

You want to know why people that support Trump, Democrats, libertarians, left, right, black, white, whatever, are so frustrated. Because it there is no debate, there is no listening, there's no interaction. There's I see you have a mega hat on, you're not coming in this store. That's why we're frustrated, because we study history, we've seen how history works. And all the things the Democrats claim to embrace diversity.

Freedom, fair treatment, equal rights, it goes out the window when you disagree with them, when you disagree with them, they just become cards in the deck to be played against you. That's it, that's it, because every lawyer in the world should be fighting for the truth to come out on everything over the last several months, just like our Congress and our Senate should have done.

That's why this is a remarkable indicator of where everybody stands.

It's not so much that. You know, Trump did this or Trump did that, it's don't you want to know?

I mean, if I can just reach out to the pretend president Joe Biden for a moment. Don't you want to see the real vote count so you could actually show it to your supporters? Or are we just going to have to keep this charade going so you can keep your people in line? Personally, I like the Trump version of it. I like the Trump version. Let's count it, let's let everybody see. We'll be right back. So much more to cover on the Rush Limbaugh Show.

Happy birthday to Rush Limbaugh. Today is Russia's birthday. The website is Rush Limbaugh Dotcom. And it's still up. Yeah. Now, the Chinese have not removed it yet. It's so exciting. Rush Limbaugh, Dotcom, the Maharishi. Just go and go to the messages to Rush S.. You see all those beautiful American patriots that send pictures and messages and you can put your birthday message in there as well. I know Mr. Limbaugh will appreciate it. This is breaking news now as.

The Democrats try to heal the country and move forward. This is breaking news, this is News Week. Let me read it to you. House Homeland Security Committee Chair Chairperson Representative Bennie Thompson has said that Senator Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. Should be put on the no fly list if they're found liable for inciting the riot at the capital that left five people dead. Thompson is a Democrat representing Mississippi's 2nd Congressional District, said that there would be no exception for elected officials who were found responsible for the deadly incident.

Boy, this guy staying to the narrative.

You could say what you want about Democrats, but when you give them a script, they're like George Clooney s man. They just stick with it. He told. The host that was interviewing him, there was no question about placing the capital rioters on the domestic no fly list. Though there is some debate about how quickly this could be done, we're we're not even a week out yet and the prosecutions have begun. I don't mean to laugh, but it's kind of part of me is laughing because for years, Rush Limbaugh and other.

Conservative stars have said this. They've been plugged in for years, they said don't let bad people get too much power. Don't let Nancy near that gavel, she'll hit you right in the face with it, and then she'll say it slipped out of her hand and here we are. Listen to this guy, this Congressman Thompson, you know what, scary. He is on the Homeland Security Committee. How did that even happen? He's attacking his colleagues because they disagreed with him and I've got proof in a second from another source, this is going to blow you away.

This is what he said. First of all, these folks, in my opinion, can be classified, classified as domestic terrorist. Because of the actions they participated in on Wednesday. Now, under normal circumstances, the congressman from Mississippi goes on to say. International terrorists are on no fly list. And then he just wouldn't stop, he got so excited about the script written for him by the Democrat Party in the news media, he just I'm sure he wanted his close up.

Don't all actors want that? I'm ready for my close up. These are domestic terrorists.

He went on to say the same thing. A terrorist is a terrorist no matter who you are. So for you people that know and support Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Ted Cruz, I would be a little concerned now.

But for you people that just live in America and. Don't even know these guys, and I know this audience is extremely in touch with what's going on, but do you realize what just happened?

This is. Communism. You have disagreed with the rulers you are now labeled a terrorist. By one of the largest institutions, Department of Homeland Security and the committee in Congress. You could be put on the no fly zone, the no fly list, excuse me. Yeah, but it gets better because as you know, you have to have Republicans selling out Republicans. Republicans go to the White House initially, I'm sorry, the Capitol, to fight for us, figuratively speaking, I don't want to trigger Don Lemon.

They go to fight for the right policies and the Constitution, but they always get sold out. By their own people. In fact, the Hill says some Republican colleagues are really not happy about Holli and Cruz, though GOP criticism of the pair tends to be softer than the barbs thrown at the president. See, the president is such a wonderful target because he scares the hell out of everybody and most cowards want to pile on. That's what cowards do.

Get them from the front, kick him from behind. He's down. He's got eight days left. Let's impeach him five times before the weekend and then charge him with treason. Yeah. That's how the Democrats healing America. With the help of some sell out Republicans like Senator Mitt Romney. As the Senate was evacuated earlier, according to the Hill. Senator Mitt Romney was heard yelling, this is what you've got, guys, this is what you've done.

We don't know if he was crying or not, he did have a lovely sweater on, though, that guy can wear a sweater like nobody's business. Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska told NPR. They're pretty reputable outfit, I mean, they use our money that Holly was doing something that was really dumb ass. By challenging the Electoral College votes. So there's your GOP, ladies and gentlemen, this is why the GOP, in my humble opinion, is pretty much finished as it is today and will never be reincarnated in this fashion again, because a colleague of Senator Ben Sasse said to the National Public Radio interviewer, My colleague is really stupid.

Because he's challenging. What he believes is a stolen vote in his state. Do you see how it works? Oh, but it gets better. Harvard just kicked off all the Republicans off their advisory committee.

Because that's really it, look, the last thing you want in a college is open minds, that's what you. OK, we know that I went to college. That's the last thing you want. You don't want some professor that listens to all the evidence. That's where the indoctrination comes to a fever pitch. It starts in kindergarten. Yes, Timmy, that is a tree. That's a dog. You're a woman. That's the moon. And that car is a man.

What? So Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Ted Cruz are scheduled to be put on the no fly list and this lady flies first class.

If you take your knives, you ain't seen nothing yet. Got a cabinet that had been booted out of restaurants. I've got that house he's with. No sleep and guess what, we're going to win this battle because while you try and take the to Jeff Sessions and others you really don't know about. You know, it's interesting, say what you want about Maxine Waters, but she she is a wonderful dresser. She is truly a fashionista. And I will say that for a woman who's 100 years old, she really dresses nicely.

I want to give her that. She also has a very calming presence as well. This was a rally she was speaking at 18 months after Donald Trump took office and she was yelling at people that voted for him. That's why the threats were there on the.

Let's say let's make sure we show up. We have to show up. And if you see anybody done that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store and a gasoline station, you get out and you go, you get out and create a crowd.

You can't do that on a plane.

So I'm just warning you right now, don't we learn the hard way? Don't even chant shut up, but put your mask on. But you think about that. There was a rabid hatred for Donald Trump the minute he became a threat to the establishment. Some people call it the deep state. Some people call it the lying scumbags in Washington, whatever.

He's a threat, he doesn't need your money. He doesn't need your love and support. He doesn't need your approval. That pretty much destroys both political parties, the news media and academia. There's a man who is so comfortable with himself and the love he has for this country, he doesn't care what you say about him. He doesn't he has a job to do and he's going to do it to give you an idea of that, just go to the White House Web site and see what the Trump administration has accomplished just in the last five days.

So why people are marching outside his home. Chanting, Traitor, treason, sedition, all this garbage and impeach him, or as Maxine would say it, P45.

He's getting stuff done. So you got to scratch your head and say, tell me again why you want to get rid of that guy with, you know, the economy and the jobs in January of 2020, you can easily check that with the immigration reform, the prison reform, the foreign policy, the two peace agreements in the Middle East, building up our military, not getting us involved in a war or military action during his entire.

First term, first president to do that in almost 50 years, making us energy independent. I mean, I could see how if you're Nancy Pelosi, you can't stand this guy. But I also know why millions of us love him. By the way, it's Russia's birthday, send him a message online, Rush Limbaugh dot com. I'm Ken Matthews, sitting in for Rush. More of your calls next.

Can you play the the sound bite from the leader of the free world, President Donald J.

Trump, on the impeachment? It's really a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. This impeachment is causing tremendous anger and you're doing it. And it's really a terrible thing that they're doing for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to continue on this path, I think is causing tremendous danger to our country and it's causing tremendous anger. I want no violence.

You know what's interesting about that? If you go back to when covid jumped from China over to this side of the pond, if you remember as President Trump and his cabinet. Set up to take this on, you know, what the Democrats were doing that that was the other. Taken Peachment. That was the other impeachment. So you have to admit, again, the Democrats kind of have a good thing going here. The House actually impeached President Donald Trump.

Earlier this year, while they should have been helping out with covid, they did that based on something that the pretend elect Joe Biden did. It's on tape.

And now when they should be healing the country. Joe Biden is continuing the narrative. That President Trump is well, I wonder if he's going to be put on the no fly zone. They may not even let him fly on his own plane. Think about that. So these are two moments in history where when you ask the honest question, what have my Democrat representatives and senators done for me? Well, they tried to impeach Trump twice. They're trying to get him to resign.

They lied about the 25th Amendment and they're calling him a terrorist and a traitor. I mean, isn't that what you sent your representatives and senators to Washington for, to continue to ride this guy right till next week? It is absurd when you think about it, somebody used the commentor winners or sore winners. It's not so much the sore winner thing. It's just no matter what you do, it's not enough for the left. They want power. President Donald Trump threatens to break up the power and put more of it in the hands of the American people.

And they're ticked about it. And I want to say one more thing. We do salute and we do love and respect, just so you know, the National Guardsmen and the military. Many times they're used as chess pieces in big political games by stupid mayors or lunatic. Politicians, there's going to be between 10 and 15 thousand National Guardsmen at the Capitol. I would love to take a survey and we we can't do this. And I'm not I'm not going to Washington for that.

But I'm just saying I would love to just go around and ask them, you know, off record.

So what do you think about your new commander in chief? How about that, Joe Biden? One thing about all the soldiers now surrounding all the buildings and they put up seven foot fences around all all the monuments and buildings that we pay for on a regular basis. It does have a very communistic look, does it not? Very socialistic. Very communist. I mean, AOC has got to be thrilled. Think about it, Ilam Ohmar. Oh, she must be ecstatic that they can keep us quiet.

And if we're not, they can just say. Terrorist. Let's go to Carl in Columbus, Ohio. Hi, Carl. You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show. You know, when Nancy Pelosi ripped up the State of the Union speech by the president last year, she should be charged for sedition. That's not forming a more perfect union, as her preamble states. She did it in front of millions of people, millions of Americans, taxpayers. She should be charged with sedition.

And any judge that doesn't put that under Article 18, you know, they should do that. Why can't she be removed? I think that's a great point.

I have no answer for that. That's exactly what I thought. I think that the Democrats constantly not only behave worse than they accuse our president of behaving, but sometimes I see laws being broken and constitutionality being abused. The problem is, I hate to keep using this, Karl, but if the news media doesn't have the guts. To question it or report on it, there's millions of people that don't hear about it and that therein lies our frustration today because.

As we were discussing earlier in the show, conservatives and Trump fans, when you give us lemons, we make lemonade. When you call us deplorable. We set up a website and sell hats that say I'm proud to be a deplorable. And when you say we're never going to cover you fairly on CNN for the rest of your life, we say, OK, I'll go over to one America news network then bye bye.

But now they're just shutting everything down.

Now that's illegal, 800 to a two, 2082. Speaking of Rush, I want to revisit something he just said yesterday because I don't know if the average person like your neighbor that is busy and they're unplugged. I don't know if they understand the scope of what's happening in this country just in less than a week. Go ahead, Crash.

Have you noticed, ladies and gentlemen, that a bunch of corporate people, CEOs, vice CEOs, CFO, ICBM's, ICBM's, any number of corporate people are now expressing regret for having voted for Trump? I know of one personally who saw it happen, this is exactly what happens in communist countries. Everybody that did business with the disgraced individual in this case trumped anybody who voted for him or anybody who supported him or anybody who helped him, anybody who promoted him, anybody who did anything positive must denounce them, must do it publicly, must apologize.

Publicly apologize for ever having voted for the guy, for having been fooled. If you don't. You could be ruined. And so these people. In corporate America, who did support Trump and there are a lot of them, they need the Democrats to leave them alone and the only chance they have is by begging forgiveness. Here's another headline, Mariotte. Blue Cross Blue Shield and Commerzbank suspend donations to lawmakers who objected to certifying the Electoral College vote.

So Marriott Hotels, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Commerzbank have been told. That if they want to remain most favored nation status among the Democrat Party, they are going to suspend donations to any Republicans who objected to certifying the Electoral College vote back on January 6th. This is how it works. This is totalitarian one party rule. This is how it works in communist China. It's how it worked in the old Soviet Union. And this is what the Democrat Party is becoming or has become for a long time in our country.

And that is a wonderful argument for so many different things, as is the case when Mr. Limbaugh makes the complicated understandable, what that also points out is this.

Now, you know how much power we allowed our government to take, that they can make a phone call to one of us that they can call their citizens, their bosses. See, it's backwards now. Donald Trump is has been and will continue to turn this around.

He's changing the power dynamic. He's changed the dynamic with our enemies, with our allies, he's improved the dynamic in this country. The man that they called a racist from the time he came down the elevator because in a WikiLeaks email, the strategist for Hillary thought that would be the best way to slow him down in the polls.

The quote went something like this, you can look for it yourself, unless they've taken WikiLeaks offline, but don't worry, there's enough there's enough hard drivers that have it. The quote went something like. If I remember correctly in Podesta was involved and there were several other advisers, it was the fall of 2015, Trump was starting to get some traction. His message instantly resonated with millions of Americans, including me. I remember being laughed at.

I remember people calling my show in Pennsylvania and saying, can, can, can. Come on, man. Are you telling me that Trump is going to beat Cruz and Jeb Bush? And I remember saying to one guy, I don't know if Jeb Bush could get elected to the city council. You see, here's why. Because the U.K. or England, the people that we broke away from. That's their thing, we're going to have one or two families and they're going to rule forever.

And then when we go to court, we're all wearing wigs. That's their thing, that's not our thing. I could barely stomach the second Bush, you want to sell me a third bush? You got three hundred and thirty million people in the United States. And the best you could do is I think we should endorse Jeb Bush. You're crazy. You see, this is the awakening I'm talking about. This is that awakening. We've allowed people that work for us.

We are citizens in a constitutional republic. We've allowed them to assume the role of rulers, so when Senator, Dumdum and Congressman Idiot calls Commerce Bank. Well, you better do this instead of saying what they should say up yours, you'll never get a donation from me for the rest of your life. They say, OK, I don't want to be attacked on Twitter. That's another reason my grandfather spinning in his grave. World War Two combat vet and my uncle Larry, Korean War combat vet, they're spinning in their grave.

All you have to do is threaten and the sad thing about it is some of these CEOs are loaded. I mean, they're loaded, you know, what CEOs make and I'm not complaining about the size of the salary, but I'm saying if I was making 80 million bucks, let's say 20 million bucks as a CEO and some punk congressman called me and said, you better back off Trump, and that conversation would just end terribly. I would use my platform to politically target that person, it's the reverse now, we, the people.

Three hundred and thirty million of us are letting. People that are think they're royal rulers target us, you better not get on that side of that issue. What do I mean by that?

Well, someone who I have grown to admire since she was elected. And I have a sound bite, here is Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and I just went since she ran, I would watch the debates to prepare for shows and I constantly would walk away. Saying, like many of us, oh, my God, these Democrats are lunatics, except that that Tulsi, she seems to be making sense and she can serve. She recently told Joe Rogan exactly what happened to her when she first got to Congress, and this is what we need to stop.

What happened to her? So what we're going to do, because I don't want to go off the time here crash, what we could do is if we could play this after this commercial break.

And but I want people to hear and I think is being very honest, she's a veteran. I think she's very analytical.

I'm just saying that there are good people. On the other side, in addition to that, when we talk about the left or the Democrats, please understand, we're not talking about. The millions of voters and workers and people that love their families and our neighbors were talking about the leaders that have stolen so much power that we're afraid of them.

We're afraid we better get them off the committee.

We better we better remove that Republican guy. Oh, my God.

That guy's got a Trump sticker on his car. Oh, no. Oh, no. There goes the meeting. Are you serious?

This is America. I'm Ken Matthews on The Rush Limbaugh Show. We'll be right back. Happy birthday to Rush Limbaugh. Today is Rush's birthday. And I have the pleasure and honor of guest hosting again for Mr. Limbaugh today, and I'm thrilled to be talking. To not only the largest, but the greatest audience in radio, this is truly exciting, and if you want to wish happy birthday to Rush Rush Limbaugh Dotcom, you can go to the messages and get online there.

Rush Limbaugh Dotcom. My name is Ken Matthews. Tulsi Gabbard was recently interviewed and this is what she said the first day she got into Congress. This is what she said that happened. And the reason I'm sharing it is when you look at the dynamic of party politics, what the Democrats did to Bernie twice, what they did to Tulsi.

And what the Republicans did to Trump and anybody else who exposes that, they prefer to put us before the party or they prefer to put America first.

You slowly come to the realization that both parties are the same. It's it's a it's a fight for power. And when you stick up your head, it's like a nail. And when you say to a Nancy Pelosi or to a Mitch McConnell, well, wait a second, I thought that the Constitution says this and we're supposed to do that. What do they say? They say what honest people hate hearing all of their life. And I know you can relate to this.

Don't you hate it when someone says, yeah, but that's not how we do it. But but what about don't you want to do it the right way and follow the law? That isn't how it's done. You better get in line or you're not going to be part of our club.

The joke is this has been one of the most frustrating things that I've seen and experienced throughout my over six years in Congress. That really started when I first went up, after I got elected or after every election happens and new members of Congress, they go and they have what's called new member orientation and they give you these books. And here's the maps and here's where your offices and, you know, all the all the administrative and logistical stuff. But very quickly, I would say within the first few days, you know, where we first come in together as Democrats and Republicans immediately, Kate, Democrats go this way.

Republicans go this way, immediately separated. And what we're told right off the bat is, look, this is about getting wins for our political party.

And if you work with the Republican, then that's going to hurt the party, especially if you work with a Republican that the Democratic Party is trying to take out. Forget the substance of the idea. Forget the substance of the bill. And this happens on the opposite side as well. Republicans with Democrats, both both political parties are are guilty of this where they're really putting the interests of the political party ahead of the people who just voted for us to go and serve them.

And isn't that a breath of fresh air? That's the truth. That is the truth. And the next phase is you go and meet with your party and then your party bosses, because that's what it is in many cases. Party bosses, not at all. But in many cases, it's this whole organization is designed to generate revenue for certain people, just not you. It just is not and this is what President Donald J. Trump exposed and what he stumbled on and the more President Donald Trump.

I was talking with a friend yesterday and we were we were laughing hysterically because we were using all these different things.

We were remembering all the things that Donald Trump exposed and and areas of our government that he walked into like a new boss would walk into. Maybe you're in a bad situation and you finally get a boss and you're totally stokes and stoked and and you give the boss a tour. So there's President Donald Trump, who's never been in government before. Pretty successful guy understands the greatness of America, the love of family. God, the military gets it all. And he says, well, give me a tour.

So there he is. He's going room to room. Every door he opens. He's like, what the heck's going on here? Oh, this is the copy room. Why are there 400 copier's in? Two pieces of paper, what what happening, see, once he started to learn and this is only this is only an example, so please don't don't sue me.

Once he learned that there's 400 copier's there because. There's a copier lobbyist that's the brother of the senator that knows the woman that works at the place where they get the ink and that's why. But it's not efficient and it's ripping off the American people. He went to every single department, the VA, the military, the EPA, the IRS and every single dishonest person making a killing off the backs of the American people. They can't stand him. And every hardworking person, they like them.

They do, that's the myth, the myth is that all of Washington, all of government, all. No, no, no, it's not like that at all. People who roll up their sleeves and work hard. They like President Trump, they want the light to be shown on the dark. They want that. We all do. Most Americans do. Most Americans want the truth and they want another word that the left has hijacked justice.

So he comes in and holds everybody accountable the same way Tulsi Gabbard just said. And then the next phase is you go to your party and they say, here's how it works, you always vote with the leader, you always vote with the speaker. If you disagree with the leader of the speaker, you'll never get on a decent committee. If you're never on a decent committee, you'll never raise enough money. And if push comes to shove, you know, like if there's a protest or something that goes sideways, we'll all get on Twitter and call you a seditionists.

Got it. I'm Ken Matthews, in for Rush Limbaugh. We'll be right back. OK, so I just checked. I'm still on Twitter, which is kind of interesting. You can follow me at Ken Matthews. My Web site has not been banned yet. Ken Matthews, Media dot com. I'm off of LinkedIn. Obviously we're all off of poller and I'm frozen on pace. Facebook, I'm frozen on Facebook for, I think a couple more weeks.

I think I said something like, oh my God, it was terrifying. I said, we need to investigate what could be a stolen election. And you can imagine the the response from the scriptwriters. Whoa, whoa.

In fact, coming up next hour, I'm going to what I did is I just went on Facebook and I had someone else get the soundbites for me because I can't access my account right now because I'm a Trump supporter and I really love America and I'm a patriot. But I found some leftist. Some of the things they are allowed to say on Facebook is amazing. By the way, Twitter has purged now close to 80000 accounts since Friday.

So it's official communism has arrived.

Well, happy birthday to Rush Limbaugh. It's Russia's birthday. And I'm thrilled to be here with you. This is The Rush Limbaugh Show, 800 202 2082, if you're just tuning in Russia, explain this. Last week from time to time, he needs a day with the treatment.

So don't freak out. Remember he said that? So he's looking forward to getting back as soon as possible. But it is his birthday and you could send him a message. Rush Limbaugh, dotcom, just as a message area and in the corner by all those great pitchers of patriots that they send in. Check it all out.

Also, a great store there. So we're kind of we've passed another benchmark here in America, we sometimes people will call us the sleeping giant. But but we wouldn't get awake enough and there's a difference between being awake and being woke. There's a big, big difference there. Now, some people may have been woak or as I like to call, propagandised. But I think for the first time, probably I'm going to go out on the limb here, I'm going to say.

I don't think we've been this awake and the tuned. To the government dynamic. For a couple hundred years, that's just based on my limited reading of history, I'm a student of history, that's it. I cannot remember a time where so many citizens see eye to eye. That's another myth that I get tired of hearing. I get tired of that myth that our country is divided. We need a leader that will heal us. I get so tired of that.

Our country is not divided. The narrative is that our country is divided and that we can never come together unless. Somebody else does it for us. I'd like to call this the fog of cyber warfare, the fog of disinformation. The propaganda juggernaut, that's what we're in. This country has continually grown in diversity. And success and love. And welcoming people. I know that the major news networks, when you have a narrative and you're working off an actor script, you're not allowed to use fact.

But when you go decade to decade to decade. As of about. Eleven months ago, things were incredible in this country. And our rulers were disgusted because many of them had nothing to do with it. They didn't have anything to do with Donald Trump's incredible. List of promises made and promises kept. So the Democrat Party, which based the Democrat platform. In 2016, was Trump's a big fat meanie and he's orange and he's racist and sexist, and I can't believe he puts ketchup on steak and that's what they ran on.

And then President Trump got in. And just rocked it and, you know, we did, you know, we did I mean, you could you could look to the damage that the the governors did with covid and the power they were able to control and the way they were able to scare your grandmother and your four year old with the same comment.

You got to admit the Democrats aren't that great of communicators because their ideologies, for the most part, are weak.

But when they want to scare the hell out of you, they can do it and they've done it. But just remember, our country is not divided. Our government is. And it should be.

Our government should be divided. There should be constant debate, the debate should be simple. What's best for the American people, that should be the ongoing debate every day if you're working for me as a senator. That's hard to grasp for Senator Schumer, it's a foreign concept to Maxine Waters, but you work for us and every day you should be arguing. No, I think this would be better. No, that would be better. Well, what about this?

Well, what about that? But you stop doing that. What, a couple hundred years ago? I don't mean to call out Maxine Waters age either. And what are you doing now? What does this policy mean for me? If I sign on, if I sign off on this voting machine, Dominion. What will my back and take be? If I sign off on this military weapons platform, what kind of money can I get from the defense contractor?

Say you went. You went off the rails and this is the Great Awakening in America, many of us already knew this, but now everybody does because we saw you we saw you on January 6th saying the most stupid things. Saying ridiculous things like, Madam Speaker, why would anybody challenge this election? Because seven states sent dueling electors. You might as well have said, and this is mostly to the rhinos, because you're nothing to me, you're sellouts, you might as well have said, Madam Speaker, why do we have to keep following this constitution?

I haven't done it for years and I've been making all kinds of money. And now because there's a crisis to the republic, we all have to follow rules. Well, I'm not going to do it. And they didn't. And they did. And one more thing, our government isn't broken, our constitution is a work of art. There are people across this globe that dream of having that level of protection from their government. That's what the Constitution is for.

The Constitution was not made to defend Mitch McConnell. So you can't see his investments and the relationship he has with businesses, it it was made to protect us. From bad decisions. That the Senate or the Congress might make. So our government hasn't broken our Constitution, it's not perfect, but by God, it's the best thing on the planet. I know people that cry when we talk about the Constitution, not like Don Lemon crying, but they tear up.

Not like Chris Cuomo crying, but, you know, you get the gist. Seriously. The people that are supposed to run our government, the people that we voted and we said, I'm putting all my faith and trust in you. Please go to the dark, swampy place where everybody's rich and pompous and they have no idea what a hard day's work is like, please tell our story. And Mr. Trump did. And that's why they're so ticked off.

So remember, when people say our government is broken, we need to get rid of the Electoral College, we need to get rid of the Constitution, we need to get rid of that stupid flag. They're idiots, the people that are in our government are broken and we have to stop sending broken people. Incredible system. We're sending broken people into a system that's run on honesty, where they swear in on a Bible or a Koran. But many of them don't even believe what they're doing, so we're putting we have this high octane race car.

And we're putting drunk drivers at the wheel, and this is not a joke about Ted Kennedy because everybody knows he was a great driver. We're putting drunk drivers at the wheel. And they've never even driven that model. And then when they crash, what do we say up time for another car? This is a terrible car. Whose idea was it to put this car together?

The founding fathers and most of America are tired with people.

Mocking the father, the founding fathers, mocking the flag. Pointing to the Constitution and say, see? If we were like Cuba, this would have never happened. That's a reference to Michael Moore, by the way. He's coming in a sound bite. So remember that when someone says, oh, my God, we're so divided, that's to keep you thinking that I don't like you or you don't like the woman at Starbucks or you don't like the guy that's fixing the road.

They need to keep you believing. Oh, it's so horrible. We're all divided. We're not when you put us into a room.

Among ourselves, we do find. Americans do fine among themselves because of core American values.

Then you put someone in the room, you put someone in the room and they say, hey, what what are you doing over there? You're not supposed to be. No, no, no. You're black. You're supposed to be over there. Can you're a conservative. Stop getting along with those liberal guys. Stop it. Get away. Get away. That's how rulers rule and now we're awake. Now we're awake. And with that, I will now hand it over to Michael Moore.

With a lovely effort to heal America. And actually, law enforcement knows that there's more violence ahead, they know it right now, Trump and his inner circle, his crime family, have called for this uprising and they are pleased with what they've seen and they know what's going on.

Unless these white terrorists are arrested now in mass, there will be people killed between now and election. I'm sorry, between now and Inauguration Day. I can't stress this enough. Way too many police.

Excuse me, Michael. I think you're overreacting, bro. Yeah, you're overreacting. Just bring it back, just take it down a notch, are sympathetic to their white terrorist brethren. They will stand down again, just like they did on Wednesday, and allow the violence to continue.

I keep hoping in the back of my mind that cue the music isn't really going to happen. I pray. But we have to treat this seriously. They've already issued the threat, just like they did for the weeks leading up to Wednesday. We have to treat it seriously. Demand action. The terrorists saw on Wednesday that they could get away with this. They are in power. They are excited. They believe that this is their moment. My friends, we are all in danger.

Thank you, Michael Moore. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Ken Matthews, in for Rush Limbaugh. We'll be right back.

Always good to be here with you. But today is a special day because it's Rush Limbaugh's birthday. It's kind of exciting because normally, as you know, Rush kind of downplays it and we can really, you know, we could really go over the top with it and send them all these messages. And I can say happy birthday to rush like every other segment and stuff like that. So you can go to Rush Limbaugh Dotcom, January 12, 2021.

Where has the time gone? I can't. Mathew's in for Rush. Let's go back to the phones.

Jay in Gainesville, Georgia. Jay, you're on the Rush Limbaugh Show.

Hey, buddy. Thanks for taking my call. Happy birthday to Big Daddy Rush. And my question is, I was listening to Erixon show and he was saying that the Republican turnout for the runoff was down 30 percent from the presidential election and that people are signing that they don't believe their votes count, that it's still one that is pointless. And so they don't want to vote. And then you go and protest peacefully in a couple of knuckleheads, you know, show out and then all of a sudden everybody's writers.

And even if nothing happened, they still would have been painted as racists and bigots and xenophobes and all these things. And so if you can't vote and if you can't protest, what options are we left with? You know, that is that's a great question. We're intimidated.

And this is our real awakening a few times during this broadcast. And to be honest with you, but I'm just not seeing it because we're hopeful and Trump and everybody's kind of let him down. And that's kind of killed the hope on a lot of us. So well understood. Understand.

And that is a great question. I'm going to attempt to kind of flesh out somewhat of an answer. It won't be as good as a Rush Limbaugh answer, but I'm going to try to flesh it out. Keep in mind that every day of every week of every month of every year, the mass media, we're like piranhas on President Trump and the media also for the first time that I remember. Attacked people that supported Trump by the second year of President Donald Trump's first term.

What were they saying, they were saying that Karl in Georgia and Ken in Pennsylvania. Or I'm sorry, Jay, in Georgia, they were saying, we are we're just as bad as Trump, we must be sexist, we must be this week. I mean, I had never seen anything like it.

It seemed like the better the job President Trump did and the worst the worst consultants looked like some of you may or may not know that.

Political strategist Rick Wilson. He's like, wrong every hour, but most of them are most strategists are wrong, most consultants are wrong. And the funny thing is, if the news anchors would just take a breath. For example, what you asked about Georgia, I don't have an answer for Georgia because I thought in Georgia. They would have stopped the run off until they fixed the machines, but instead. And I don't know how this got through the system.

I know how it got through the system, 60 judges would not hear evidence. That's how it gets through the system. The Supreme Court wouldn't even help direct anything where it needed to be directed. That's how it got there, but the fact that many of us believe the election was stolen on the third and then the same process was used to put two more Democrat senators in. I understand that's like a punch in the gut. But I try to look at the glass half full.

And I think that the Democrats have so overextended themselves in every chance they have. To say, see, we were right, see, we did win. Instead of saying that, they say. Prosecute them, arrest them, put them on the no fly list, impeach them, charge that guy for treason, make sure you don't donate to that guy, don't do business with that woman. So this is the awakening I'm talking about. I think over the next week or two, by the time the 20th rules rolls around, there are going to be just as many Democrats as there are Republicans saying what just happened was that legit?

And that is the panic because everybody believes that no evidence is getting out.

But President Trump is a fighter and he'll get on a ham radio if he has to.

And then you won't be able to buy a ham radio. I know they'll call up they'll call up a major department store and say, yeah, remember what they remember what they the left does every time something goes sideways with any product. You know, well, we don't want people having spray paint, we don't want people having those polls. We don't want people having umbrellas. And that's how they do it, because there's never any reasoning or rationale. So the answer is what I always say, you stay engaged, stay positive, stay energized.

You've got to stay positive. I know it is difficult to stay positive. That is by design. The bad people always need good people. To feel bad. We'll be right back. Don't forget, it's all post birthday. Send him a message if you'd like it, Rush Limbaugh, dotcom. This is the Rush Limbaugh Show on the EIB Network, and, of course, I forgot to get him a gift, so. Holy moly. So I'm going to be scrambling.

That's a great question. What do you get Rush Limbaugh for his birthday, is it you know, maybe I'll just go on the message board. Yeah, why don't you? Now, never mind, I can't I can't see the here.

See, I get both sturdily these T-shirts for gifts because they're thought they're lovely gifts. And when you're dealing with people like those independently wealthy, what do you get them?

But you got them. So I, I got the latest shirt. I got him. It says stay weird. And apparently he's upset over it. I'm not going to get brought to a state where shirt, you know, maybe I'll get him a coffee cup 822, 2082. Let's go to Dave in Bucks Harbor, Maine. Welcome, Dave, to The Rush Limbaugh Show.

Again, thanks for taking my call. A what I want to talk to you about is like the level of outrage for different things. We seem to be in an era where it's it's all or nothing. I was raised by World War to combat vets, to have fought against the real Nazis. And they told us, you know, something can be good and bad. And I'm just thinking when, you know, we had this business that went down at the Capitol and not to make light of any of it, but what if you were a black store owner in Minneapolis, Nowshera, one of these places back in the summer there, and yet business that you put 35 years of blood and sweat into was burnt to the ground.

And who said I mean, what's who saying anything about it now? What are those poor people doing? And, you know, it was bad, but it was done there. But it just seems like the level of outrage is, you know, it's like if we get a bushel of clams and there's a couple broken it, you don't throw the whole bush. Hello is nowadays. If you say the president, you know, you kind of like the tie he was wearing and you're elevated to the level of Josef Mengele or something.

I mean, does that make any sense to you know, you bring up you bring you bring up great points. The Democrats, like people in the media, are well, first of all, I think there's so many drama queens on the left.

And and that's a real big issue. For example, what you said, it's such a great comparison because sadly, 25 people died in the BLM in Antifa, whereas a friend of mine says the L.A. fire, 25 people died in those riots and, quote, peaceful protest. Thousands were injured, over 100 police injured. Police also died in that, but more so. BLM riots were the costliest manmade disaster to the insurance industry.

Wow. Ever, ever. Wow. Yeah, well over a billion dollars. Well, that's it.

And I know people that went to this thing in Washington. Yeah. And all that was with them, as you know, they was concerned. They heard that people wrote in and and well I know people right here that they went to vote, said, no, you've already voted by mail. No, I haven't. And you know, so there is there was definitely some legitimate stuff. So they went down. They listen to the president. And the only thing you know, that they was incited to do was, was to join hands and pray and sing the national anthem.

And they didn't so much as drop a gum wrapper on the ground. And there was hundreds of thousands of them like that. And there was a thousand idiots or whatever that did what they did. But, you know, you don't put everybody, you know, blackball everybody not see you.

You have the discernment that we talked about earlier in the show. And I thank you for calling, Dave.

You have the discernment. You can watch the facts and you could see things unfold and you can make your decision. The problem with our news media and the left, you will never be allowed to see all the videos of that event. You just will not.

You will not it's the same way you're not allowed to see the threshold on a covid test, you're not allowed to see documents involving Joe Biden, you just are not allowed to. And so the people that stress look, let people make up their own mind, I just vote on the science, I just vote on the facts, they will not let you make up your own mind, because if it doesn't go their way, they're in trouble.

So they'll hold back the facts and they'll manipulate the science. The 6th of January was an opportunity to ramp everything up. And create, as another friend of mine says, who's a veteran, the fog of war, I call it, the fog of cyber war, the fog of media war. And of course, if you say war, I just triggered someone, someone just had to go to H.R., go home now. As I said, war.

But this is what it is. We have been at some level of war. From the people that hate. The fact that Donald Trump doesn't want. To give it up to China, he doesn't want a porous border. He doesn't want to be in debt, he doesn't want more war in the Middle East, that's why he did two peace agreements and those people sadly well, you heard with the cut I played for much earlier, they owned giant businesses.

They owned banks. They want things done the way they want done the awakening that's beginning in the awakening that you and I need to embrace is.

I don't care what you want done just because you're rich or you this, that or the other thing, you need to go through the proper channels, you know, with those channels.

Are we the people? So every time you hear a Mitch McConnell or Chuck Schumer say, well, that is how we her. You're right, it isn't. That's why you're going to be voted out quickly. That's why there's a recall petition in California. There's a petition to start impeachment hearings against our governor and Pennsylvania governor, Wolf, I don't know what the what the count is. The last time I saw it, it was like 68000. It might be more now.

So if you are looking for a peaceful. Project, that is a great one. That's a great one now the media may not cover it, but that's OK, because that's something that I always I always talk about this with so that people can think for themselves, find your own sources, you know where to come to make sure you're on the right track with what's happening. That's why there's an EIB Network. Understand that. This is why talk radio has always been under attack, because talk radio is one of the few places.

Where you can communicate back and forth with the host and the host job was not to push an agenda. And that's one of the reasons, you know, look at the look at the way people have gone after Russia for years, anybody that shines light on the darkness.

The response is, hey, well, what are you doing? Turn that off. But that's not how it works in America, that's how it works in. The former Soviet Union, that's how it works there, and that's definitely how it works in China. And the thing that's so scary. I think there are people that are criminals still on social media platforms, but because they support Biden, you know, there's people that are not good people. Or, as George Bush would say, bad ambriz, they didn't get banned.

You just heard what Michael Moore said, that to me was as close to inciting something as you can get. If you go on the social media platforms now, you are going to hear and see because it doesn't get banned if it's coming from the left, you're going to hear and see people talking about you or me being hanged.

Donald Trump being exiled from America forever. Don't let it depress you understand the dynamic of where we are. Think about how afraid of one man.

And one group of supporters you have to be if you're a sitting U.S. senator in the man's party. And he's got eight days left. And you're still pushing impeachment or resignation or something. What are you afraid of? I'm going to argue. That they're afraid Donald Trump is not going to go away. And I pray to God that's the case.

I pray that what President Donald Trump does from this point on, I hope he continues to help make America great again, somewhere, somehow, some way, because I stand with him.

This is The Rush Limbaugh Show. We'll be right back. 800 202, 82, and I got something else from my earpiece here. Another member of the EIB team that didn't want to be quoted, but they said there's now three branches of government, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter.

Yes, they can all fight over who the executive branch is. Let's go to Houston, Texas.

This is Vanessa. Vanessa, you're on the Rush Limbaugh Show.

Hi, can, thank you for having me on the show. And happy birthday to Rush. What's on your mind? Well, I was in D.C. on the 6th and it was a huge setup. And the media, of course, fake news, they're not reporting what happened accurately at all. And so I want to shed more light on it. I can't post anywhere because I've been banned off Twitter and Facebook and tick tock tick down on my videos.

But it was a beautiful thing. There were grandparents there and children in strollers and it was a beautiful thing. It was peaceful and everybody was very pro-American. And when Trump took the stage and he came home pretty late, he was supposed to be on at 11:00. I was tired of saying they had been standing there since 7:00. So I started walking up towards the Capitol when Trump started. But before I got there, they'd already opened the door and let about 100 people in.

And then they shut the doors and then they put the barricade around. And these people, some of them might have been Trump supporters. Some of them were dressed like Trump supporters. But we had heard that there were going to be people. We were, we were told, and people was going to dress like Trump supporters. I don't know if they were in Tifa. I do know on the first three buses came in, three travel buses escorted by police.

They had a police escort. They were not Trump supporters. I was told they're in deep I don't know who they were, not Trump supporters, three busloads the night before anyway. So but in about 150 people, they shut the doors, they locked the doors. They put the barricades around when the speech was over. And all the Patriots are Trump supporters started coming up to the Capitol. They were shouting USA and stop the steel and chanting, but nobody was violent.

In fact, I was the very first one at the barricade at the what I called the bike rack. And there were a line of police in riot gear with gas mask on and goggles and helmets. And they were standing there. And between them, I could see the captain. He had a captain's hat on. And I was I called him over. I'm like a mirror because they were shooting at us with tear gas, rubber bullets. These these rubber balls that explodes make a lot of noise.

First, we thought they were firecrackers, so we were cheering them on.

But I'm like, sorry, sorry, sorry. I had to throw a party. That's a typical patriot. That's a typical patriot response. You hear gunfire and you go, oh, my God, fireworks.

God bless America.

Exactly. And we were all being very patriotic. And, you know, we were there because we we wanted the votes to be challenged. We wanted to give, you know, support to the people that were challenging the illegal votes because we wanted the Constitution to to go the way it was meant to go and the votes to go, you know, legally and if there was any question to be examined. So that's why we were there. We weren't there to cause problems and we're there to get our voices heard because, you know, we went to vote and our voices were heard because our our votes weren't heard.

We you know, our cases were about the courts all over the world. I mean, all over the United States. And the courts turned all down the evidence. So we weren't heard there. So we were hoping the Congress would hear us. And we were there. And I talked to the captain and I said, hey, what if you keep shooting with the rubber bullets? You're going to enrage some people. And and this might become not peaceful.

I said these people support law enforcement. They're flying flags, thin blue line flags. You know, they do. They support the police. And we're not going to attack the police and everything's cool. Well, when they got done with the photo ops inside the building, I'm assuming because after 150 people in the building did whatever they did and they let them out, the cops opened the doors and let them out. Then they lifted up the bike barricades and removed the barricades and let all the Trump supporters closer to the building.

At that point, the people started climbing the walls to the first level of the patio and they're climbing the walls and waving their flags. You know, we're here and but nobody was breaking any glass. They weren't breaking right the building. They were just, you know, kind of celebrating that our voices are being heard. We're being heard. Yay, wave. Our flags were building. So what do you see?

What is the what's your main takeaway from this that you think the media hasn't shared with us?

Well, then after the police walked away and left, a group of people started bashing the windows and the doors to get in and breaking the glass. And the Trump supporters are yelling, stop, antifa, stop once again. I don't know if it was antifa, but they thought they were. So they were saying stop and people stop. And a couple of Trump supporters tackled him to the ground and tried to keep them from breaking the glass and all the glass breaking and all that, all the fighting with the cops that you see on the news everywhere that happened after everything.

And I'm so.

Yeah, I. Were before Trump was even done speaking all the pictures from inside the Capitol. I'm so glad you called and I'm thrilled that you called Vanessa and you are the reason and people like you and us, this is why we're being censored, because you just heard a part of the truth from Vanessa and now they're even scrubbing the videos. I saw 17 videos of this event from a variety of angles. And the story you're getting from the media is bogus.

And if you ask them to prove it, they're just going to call you a conspiracy theorist, because that's been the pattern for quite a few years.

We'll be right back.

Thanks so much for tuning in today. To The Rush Limbaugh Show. Don't forget to leave Rush a birthday message at Rush Limbaugh dotcom.
