STEVE: ALL RIGHT.
AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, WE'RE
JOINED BY THE KING EVER RADIO.
RUSH LIMBAUGH JOINS US FROM HIS
SOUTHERN COMMAND POST DOWN IN
PALM BEACH FLORIDA.
GOOD MORNING.
>> GREAT TO BE WITH YOU GUYS.
REALLY AN HONOR.
REALLY A PLEASURE.
COULD NOT GO TO SLEEP LAST
NIGHT.
SO EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY.
NOW THE TIME HAS ARRIVED.
STEVE: IT HAS INDEED.
RUSH WE'LL TALK ABOUT YOUR BETSY
ROSS T-SHIRT THAT, IS SHOCKING
NUMBER OF PEOPLE, THERE IT IS
RIGHT THERE.
>> RIGHT THERE IT IS.
STEVE: WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN
A COUPLE MINUTES.
FIRST WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THE
PRESIDENT YESTERDAY SEEING THE
WRITING ON THE WALL, IT WOULD BE
A PROTRACTED LEGAL FIGHT,
THEY'RE ALREADY PRINTING UP THE
CENSUS, HE DECIDED TO
ESSENTIALLY ASK ALL THE
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO SEND ALL
DATA ABOUT CITIZENS AND
NON-CITIZENS TO THE COMMERCE
DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL TRY TO
FIGURE OUT WHO, HOW MANY
CITIZENS WE HAVE IN THE COUNTRY?
>> I THINK EVERYBODY IS LOOKING
AT THIS IN THE WRONG WAY.
IT IS A TESTAMENT TOO, BY THE
WAY OF POWER OF PEOPLE THAT
WRITE THE NARRATIVE EVERY DAY.
I CALL IT THE WASHINGTON SOAP
OPERA.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE IT IS THE MEDIA
THAT IS RUNNING THE DEMOCRAT
PARTY TODAY, NOT THE OTHER WAY
AROUND.
THE REAL CONTROVERSY HERE, WHO
TOOK THE CITIZENSHIP QUESTION
OAF THE CENSUS AND WHY?
WHY IS THE CONTROVERSY WANTING
TO KNOW WHO AMONG US HAPPENS TO
BE A CITIZEN AND WHO ISN'T?
WHY IS THAT CONTROVERSIAL?
SEEMED TO ME THIS KIND OF
ATTENTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED
WHEN SOMEBODY IN THE OBAMA
REGIME DECIDED TO GET RID OF IT.
WE ALL KNOW WHY.
THEY DON'T WANT NON-CITIZENS TO
BE INVISIBLE.
THEY WANT THEM, THEY DO WANT
THEM TO BE INVISIBLE.
THEY DON'T WANT THEM TO BE
COUNTED AS NON-CITIZENS FOR A
POLITICAL PURPOSE.
ALL OF THIS, EVERYTHING THE LEFT
DOES IS POLITICAL.
THEY COUCH IT IN COMPASSION AND
CONCERN AND NOT WANTING TO
TARGET OR SINGLE OUT ANYBODY.
MY PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THIS IS
THAT THE AMERICAN LEFT TODAY
SEEMS TO HAVE ONE MAJOR PROBLEM
THAT IS GUIDING EVERY AGENDA
ITEM THEY HAVE, THEY DON'T LIKE
THIS COUNTRY.
THEY DON'T LIKE THIS COUNTRY AS
FOUNDED.
THEY DON'T LIKE THIS COUNTRY'S
PLACE IN THE WORLD AND SO THEY
WANT TO DIMINISH US.
THEY'RE TOO AFRAID OF AMERICAN
SUPERPOWER, AMERICAN
EXCEPTIONALISM.
BUT THIS IDEA OF WHO IS A
CITIZEN AND WHO ISN'T, WHY DID
THAT QUESTION GET TAKEN OFF.
THAT IS WHERE EVERYBODY'S FOCUS
SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
I WILL PUT THIS ON THE
REPUBLICANS.
LOOK AT THE WAY THINGS HAPPENED.
OBAMA TAKES THE QUESTION OFF.
REPUBLICANS DO WHAT?
SAY NOTHING.
THEN THE DEMOCRATS SAY BACK WE
WANT TO PUT IT BACK ON,
PRESIDENT TRUMP, IT IS COMMON
SENSE.
PUT IT BACK ON.
THE DEMOCRATS FIGHT, OPPOSE,
MAKE IT HELL ON EARTH TO TRY TO
GET THIS DONE.
THIS IS A GREAT ILLUSTRATION OF
THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO
PARTIES HOW THEY OPERATE
POLITICALLY.
I THINK IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT
THE DESIRE TO KNOW WHO HERE IS A
CITIZEN IS CONTROVERSIAL.
STEVE: I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN
THEY DID STOP PUTTING IT ON BUT
THAT CERTAINLY IS --
AINSLEY: 2010.
2010 WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA, IT
HAS BEEN ON THERE FROM 1870 TO
2010.
RUSH, WILL YOU ELABORATE.
>> EXACTLY MY POINT.
EXACTLY MY POINT.
THE CONTROVERSY, WHO TOOK IT OFF
AND WHY?
WE KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS.
IT JUST NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED TO
PEOPLE.
AS FAR AS PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED,
WANTING TO FIND OUT WHO'S HERE
IS THE SUSPICIOUS THING.
WANTING TO FIND OUT WHO AMONG US
IS NOW A CITIZEN IS SUSPICIOUS
CONTROVERSIAL THING THIS
180 DEGREES OUT OF PHASE.
IT IS WRONG.
I APPLAUD THE PRESIDENT TO GET
THIS DONE, I THINK BY HOOK OR
CROOK HE WILL GET IT DONE.
FOCUSING EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION
ON IT FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO DO
TO EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE.
AINSLEY: WILL YOU ELABORATE HOW
EXACTLY THIS WOULD AFFECT
ELECTIONS?
WHY DON'T DEMOCRATS WANT THIS ON
THE CENSUS REPORT?
YOU SAID IT IS POLITICAL.
WILL YOU ELABORATE ON THAT?
>> WELL IT'S ULTIMATELY, THEY
WANT THESE PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO
VOTE.
THE REASON THE DEMOCRATS WANT
OPEN BORDERS, THERE IS A LOT
GOING ON.
FIRST BEHIND THIS IS GLOBALIST
MOVEMENT TO ELIMINATE CONCEPT OF
CITIZENSHIP.
SOME WILL SOUND STRANGE.
THIS REALLY ISN'T.
THIS IS HAPPENING.
THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE CONCEPT
OF CITIZENSHIP WITH RESIDENCE.
THESE ARE GLOBAL ELITES WHO WANT
TO MANAGE THE WORLD AND CONTROL
AS MUCH OF THE POPULATION AS
THEY CAN.
THE FIRST THING YOU DO, IF YOU
REALLY WANT TO DO THAT IS GET
RID OF THIS CONCEPT PEOPLE ARE
CITIZENS OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
YOU REPLACE THAT CONCEPT WITH
RESIDENTS.
NOW YOU BRING IT TO THIS COUNTRY
SPECIFICALLY.
THE DEMOCRATS HERE WANT OPEN
BORDERS.
THEY WANT AS MANY PEOPLE
CROSSING THE BORDER AS POSSIBLE.
MULTIPLE REASONS.
ONE IS, THEY NEED A PERMANENT
YOU KNOW CLASS.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS A PARTY
THAT THE WORSE CAN HAPPEN TO IT
FOR PEOPLE TO BECOME
SELF-RELIANT, FOR PEOPLE TO BE
ABLE TO PRODUCE FOR THEMSELVES.
THEY NEED PEOPLE CONSTANTLY IN
NEED, THEY NEED TO CREATE AS
MANY VICTIMS AS THEY CAN, PEOPLE
HOPELESS THINKING THE GAME IS
RIGGED.
THEY HAVE NO CHANCE BECAUSE THE
DECK IS STACKED AGAINST THEM.
THE DEMOCRAT WILL PAVE THE WAY
FOR THEM, PROTECT THEM.
THEY NEED AS MANY AS THESE
PEOPLE THEY CAN GET.
PEOPLE WITH NO CHANCE, TO HOPE.
THEY BECOME THE CHAMPION.
THEY WANT THOSE PEOPLE TO VOTE.
RIGHT YOU YOU HAVE TO BE A
CITIZEN TO VOTE.
EXCEPT IN CALIFORNIA.
THEY WANT NON-CITIZENS TO THEY
ARE MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
IT IS MODEL FOR WHAT THE LEFT
WANTS ENTIRE COUNTRY TO BECOME.
THE WHOLE QUESTION ABOUT,
POLITICS, ANSWERLY.
THE NON-CITIZENS CAN'T VOTE.
DEMOCRATS WANT THE CITIZENS TO
VOTE, THAT IS THE UNDERLYING
DESIRE AND ENERGY AS FAR AS
THEY'RE CONCERNED.
GRIFF: RUSH, LET ME ASK YOU
ABOUT THIS DIVISION WITHIN THE
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS BETWEEN
SPEAKER PELOSI AND THE
SIGNIFICANT FOUR AND LED BY --
STEVE: THE SQUAD.
GRIFF: THE SQUAD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
LED BY ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ,
AOC SEEMING TO PLAY A RACE CARD
WITH PELOSI.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE
SITUATION?
>> I THINK, THIS IS ANOTHER
EXAMPLE -- YOU THINK AT THE END
OF THE DAY, WHEN WE GET TO 2020,
THE CAMPAIGN, ELECTION, THEY
WOMEN BE DISUNIFIED?
THEY'RE NOT.
THIS IS THE YOUNG TURKS IN THE
PARTY WANTING TO HAVE SOME
SAY-SO.
IT IS TIME HONORED.
THERE IS NOTHING NEW GOING ON
HERE EXCEPT ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ CALLING PELOSI A
RACIST PIG ESSENTIALLY, WHICH IS
HUMOROUS AND FUNNY BECAUSE YOU
DON'T NORMALLY SEE DEMOCRATS
MAKE THAT ALLEGATION ABOUT EACH
OTHER.
BUT AGAIN THIS IS, WE'RE LOOKING
AT THIS THE WRONG WAY.
WE THINK WE GOT A GREAT NEWS
STORY HERE OF DIVISION WITHIN
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
THE REAL STORY, THE DEMOCRAT
PARTY, YOU GUYS, IS THEIR UTTER
FAILURE TO GET RID OF
DONALD TRUMP.
THEIR FRUSTRATION, IT IS
IMMEASURABLE.
THIS IS WHAT IS DRIVING
EVERYTHING THEY ARE DOING.
THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET RID
OF TRUMP BEFORE HE WAS
INAUGURATED.
THEN THEY CAME UP WITH THE PHONY
COLLUSION THING.
THEY HAVE THROWN EVERY WEAPON
THEY HAVE GOT GETTING RID OF
DONALD TRUMP.
THEY HAVE FAILED.
THEY ARE BEYOND THEIR ABILITY TO
DEAL WITH IT.
THEY NORMALLY TARGET SOMEBODY TO
TAKE OUT ON REPUBLICAN SIDE,
THEY CAN DO IT IN TWO WEEKS, SIX
MONTH, HOWEVER LONG THEY WANT TO
SPEND AT IT.
THEY CAN'T DAMAGE TRUMP.
IT IS DRIVING THEM CRAZY.
THEY ARE MORE IRRATIONAL THAN
EVER.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY I
THINK THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN
SOMETHING IS AMUSING TO WATCH
BUT IN TERMS OF EFFECT IT WILL
HAVE ON THE DEMOCRAT PARTY,
NEGLIGIBLE.
THE EFFECT ON THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
WILL BE FROM DONALD TRUMP AND
REPUBLICANS BECAUSE WE'RE THE
OPPONENTS.
WHEN YOU GET TO THE END OF
THINGS, CORTEZ IS NOT A FOREVER
OPPONENT OF PELOSI.
MAYBE INTERNALLY BUT NOT WHEN IT
COMES TO THE BIG AGENDA ITEMS.
THEY WILL END UP ON THE SAME
PAGE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
IF THEY DON'T, AND I'M WRONG
ABOUT THIS, I WOULD BE GLAD TO
BE WRONG BUT I DON'T THINK I AM
ON THIS.
STEVE: WE'LL SEE HOW IT ALL
TURNS OUT.
MEANTIME, RUSH, I HAD HEARD,
BEEN READING THE SY ROSS T-SHIRT
YOU CAME UP WITH IS FLYING OFF
THE SHELVES BECAUSE IT IS
BENEFITING TUNNELS FOR TOWERS
WHICH HELPS ALL SORTS OF
FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST A MEMBER.
THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE, LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
THIS ALL TO THE STARTED BEFORE
THE FOURTH OF JULY, NIKE
ANNOUNCED THEY WOULD PUT THE
BETSY ROSS FLAG ON SHOES.
COLIN KAEPERNICK --
AINSLEY: HE WAS OFFENDED.
STEVE: FOR VARIETY OF REASONS.
YOU CAME OUT AND THERE IS THE
SHOE RIGHT THERE.
NOW YOU HAVE PUT THIS PARTICULAR
FLAG ON A T-SHIRT.
YOU WONDER, WHAT DID BETSY ROSS
EVER DO TO ANYBODY?
>> THERE IS AN OVERARCHING THING
TO THIS TOO.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE AMERICAN
WOMEN'S WORLD SOCCER TEAM AS AN
ILLUSTRATION OF THIS TOO.
I'M NOT CONVINCED BY THE WAY
NIKE DIDN'T DREDGE ALL THIS UP
AS A PR STUNT BUT EVEN IF THEY
DID, HERE'S THE POINT, YOU HAVE
PEOPLE IN THE CASE OF SOCCER
TEAM, THEY WANT TO BE ON THE
TEAM, THEY WANT TO REPRESENT
AMERICA.
THEY GO OUT AND PERFORM.
ACHIEVE SOMETHING MAGNIFICENT
ATHLETICALLY.
WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THE
PLATFORM, TRASHING AMERICA,
BEATING ON THE COUNTRY THEY
CLAIM THEY WANTED TO REPRESENT.
KAEPERNICK, LOOKS AT A PAIR OF
TENNIS SHOES.
I DON'T LIKE THE FLAG.
THAT FLAG STANDS FOR THIS AND
THAT.
NIKE SAYS OKAY.
WE'LL CANCEL IT.
I'M TIRED OF THIS WITH NO
PUSHBACK.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS
RESPECT AND DO NOT THINK IT IS
COOL TO CONSTANTLY TRASH
AMERICA, AND BLAME AMERICA, WHEN
THE PEOPLE DOING IT HAVE BECOME
INCREDIBLY WEALTHY.
THEY HAVE EVER, NEVER ENDING
OPPORTUNITY.
THEY HAVE HAD MORE OPPORTUNITIES
THAN ANYBODY IN THE WORLD OVER,
THEY STILL PERSIST IN WANTING TO
TRASH AND CRITICIZE AND BLAME
AMERICA.
SOME OF US ARE JUST FED UP WITH
IT.
I WENT TO MY WIFE, WHEN THE NIKE
THING HAPPEN, HOW QUICKLY CAN WE
TURN A T-SHIRT AROUND THAT
FEATURED BETSY ROSS, STAND UP TO
BETSY ROSS, TO GIVE PEOPLE A
VEHICLE TO PUSH BACK, BECAUSE
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT
THERE THAT FEEL A LITTLE
POWERLESS.
THEY'RE AS LIVID ABOUT THIS AS I
AM, WHAT CAN THEY DO ABOUT IT.
WE GIVEN THEM A OPPORTUNITY.
WE PARTNERED WITH TUNNEL TO
TOWERS ON THIS TO MAKE SURE
PEOPLE KNEW THIS WAS NOT PURSUIT
OF PROFIT ON THE PART OF ME OR
MY ORGANIZATION OR MY PROGRAM.
WE DO EVERYTHING HERE.
WE FULFILL THEM.
WE ORDER THEM.
WE DESIGN THEM.
WE SELL THEM.
IN FOUR-DAYS THIS WEEK, IT IS
LARGEST SELLING ITEM THAT WE
EVER HAD.
IT IS SINGLE GREATEST REVENUE
GENERATING ITEM WE EVER HAD IN
THE RUSH LIMBAUGH.COM STORE.
PEOPLE GLOMMED ON TO THIS LIKE I
SAY LIKE NOTHING ELSE WE EVER
OFFERED.
IT HAS BEEN REALLY FULFILLING.
PEOPLE WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PUSH BACK, IF NOTHING ELSE FOR
SELF-SATISFACTION ABOUT THIS.
BECAUSE IT REALLY, IT IS GETTING
TIRE SOME, STEVE.
IT IS GETTING TIRESOME TO LISTEN
TO NEVER ENDING PARADE OF PEOPLE
ON THE LEFT RIP THIS COUNTRY,
CRITICIZE THIS COUNTRY, BLAME
THIS COUNTRY.
WHEN NONE OF WHAT THEY ARE
SAYING IS APPLICABLE.
THIS IS NOT THE LAND OF
GRIEVANCE.
THIS IS THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
THIS IS THE LAND OF WEALTH AND
PROSPERITY LIKE NOWHERE HAS EVER
BEEN IN AMERICAN OR WORLD
HISTORY.
AND WE'RE TIRED OF IT.
THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE LITTLE WAY
FOR PEOPLE TO PUSH BACK AND
BENEFIT A CHARITY THAT DOES
GREAT THINGS FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT, FIRST-RESPONDERS,
MILITARY, AND PEOPLE WHO
SUFFERED GREATLY AT 9/11.
AINSLEY: RUSH, THANK YOU FOR
REMEMBERING ALL OF THEM AND
DOING THIS.
STEVE: THAT'S RIGHT.
I HEARD RUSH SAYING A BUNCH OF
WEBSITE ARE SELLING BOOTLEG
FAKE --
>> YOU THOUGH HOW MANY -- AT THE
END OF THE DAY YESTERDAY, 70
KNOCK-OFFS.
CUSTOMERS BELIEVE THEY'RE
SELLING MY -- 70, CAN YOU
BELIEVE HOW POPULAR THIS THING
HAS BECOME?
THAT IS ONE OF THE GREAT -- OUR
LEGAL DEPARTMENT HAVE NO FEAR.
THEY'RE SELLING IT AS THOUGH IT
IS OFFICIAL.
STEVE: ONLY PLACE TO GET THE
OFFICIAL ONE TO HELP TUNNEL FOR
