<\/a>I want to read you the premise. Ted\u2019s new book is Overkill<\/a>, and it\u2019s been out a couple, three weeks. But just to give you an idea of the creativity here: “On a ski vacation in the Swiss Alps high above St. Moritz, Alex Hawke and his young son, Alexei, are thrust into danger when the tram carrying them to the top of the mountain bursts into flame, separating the two. Before he can reach Alexei, the boy is snatched from the burning cable car by unknown assailants in a helicopter.”<\/p>\nSo they\u2019re heading up the mountain in a tram, the tram blows up and there\u2019s a fire. There just happens to be a helicopter of bad guys that somehow snatch Alex Hawke\u2019s son from the burning tram.<\/p>\n
“Meanwhile, high above the skies of France, Vladimir Putin is aboard his presidential jet after escaping a bloodless coup in the Kremlin. When two flight attendants collapse and slip into unconsciousness, the Russian leader realizes the danger isn\u2019t over. Killing the pilots, he grabs a parachute, steps out of the plane . . . and disappears.”<\/p>\n
Now, Ted writes about Putin a lot. In one of these Alex Hawke books, Putin was in jail, in a Russian jail, having been discovered as a bad guy, criminal, oligarch, friends ruining the country type of thing. And this is Alex Hawke against Vladimir Putin, and it\u2019s called Overkill. And these are page-turners. You can\u2019t put this down. Even the premise here alone sounds crazy, but it\u2019s just fascinating.<\/p>\n
And Alex Hawke comes from Bermuda, and he drinks Black Seal rum. You ever had Black Seal rum? It\u2019s 151 proof. And I\u2019m telling you, this stuff — you wouldn\u2019t drink this rum like you would any — this is like cognac. This is to be practically sniffed. It is that potent. But Bermuda has figured prominently in Ted Bell\u2019s books.<\/p>\n
And, you know, you might think she\u2019s young to be writing a memoir, but it\u2019s a pre-memoir memoir, is the way that I look at it. Her Christian faith is prominent in the sense that it has shaped who she is. She\u2019s abundantly talented and everybody that works with her adores her and loves her. I remember Sean Hannity first started telling me about Ainsley Earhardt when she would do the half hour news break on Hannity & Colmes. I think it goes back that far, and, if not that far, somewhere about.<\/p>\n Then she started doing little pieces, interviews out in the field with various people that dealt with subjects Hannity was talking about. Her rise at Fox has been pretty rapid and substantive, and it\u2019s just a genuinely fascinating and open, as I say, pre-memoir memoir.<\/p>\n Another one, I\u2019ve met a guy named John Couch. John Couch was the first vice president for education at Apple. John Couch dates back to the Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak Apple days. And he is still there. In fact, Wozniak has written the foreword to his book. It\u2019s called Rewiring Education: How Technology Can Unlock Every Student\u2019s Potential<\/a>.<\/p>\n For example, it used to be that people thought — you know, when the iPad came out — “Man, this is gonna be great! Just put \u2019em in classrooms,” and people did.\u00a0 In fact, the LA Unified School District bought something like 25,000 of \u2019em.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s the number.\u00a0 But nobody told \u2019em how to use \u2019em, nobody told \u2019em what to do with \u2019em, and they eventually had to be resold or repurposed or what have you, because there wasn\u2019t a specific plan of action to tell teachers and educators how to incorporate the iPad in the classroom.<\/p>\n Because at the time, Windows was all over the place in the classroom — cheap little laptop computers and so forth.\u00a0 Well, time has gone on, and Apple has updated the iPad software.\u00a0 Now, don\u2019t misunderstand.\u00a0 Couch\u2019s book is not about the iPad.\u00a0 It\u2019s about taking the technology that is all around us and successfully implementing it in education, which a lot of people still haven\u2019t figured out.\u00a0 Technology is everywhere, and it\u2019s being innovated every year.\u00a0 It\u2019s being simplified every year.<\/p>\n But figuring out how to insinuate it into the educational life of a student or teacher in a classroom — organizing plans, doing homework, keep track of things — that\u2019s just now beginning.\u00a0 But Couch\u2019s book here goes way beyond just the iPad. I\u2019m mentioning the iPad only because that was how Apple made their first real pitch, the new pitch into education.\u00a0 But Couch\u2019s book here is about the whole concept of all technology and how it can be unlocked and made as common as rulers or as common as chalk was or as common as the old analog tools that people used in education.<\/p>\n Nobody really knows how to incorporate all this high-tech in a positive, uplifting way, and that\u2019s what Couch is attempting to do.\u00a0 Rewiring Education: How Technology Can Unlock Every Student\u2019s Potential.\u00a0 And that really is the key.\u00a0 It\u2019s student oriented, not classroom oriented.\u00a0 It\u2019s oriented toward finding where students are getting the best out of them.\u00a0 Conrad Black — who is a friend of mine for quite a while — has a new book.\u00a0 It\u2019s just out.\u00a0 Conrad thinks it\u2019s short. (interruption) What are you laughing at?<\/p>\n It\u2019s 256 pages, and Conrad says, “Hey, it\u2019s a small book.\u00a0 It won\u2019t…” (laughing) The 256 pages is small.\u00a0 Conrad Black is Canadian.\u00a0 He is a former media baron.\u00a0 He owned the Jerusalem Post, the Canada Post or Canada…? The major newspaper in Canada at the time.\u00a0 He is a real-world intellectual.\u00a0 By that I mean he\u2019s an intellectual who will not be off-putting to people.\u00a0 He\u2019s fascinating.\u00a0 You sit there and you listen and you marvel, and sometimes you want to burst out laughing when you\u2019re not supposed to.\u00a0 Sometimes you just can\u2019t stop soaking it all in.<\/p>\n It will be the week after I got back, or next week, and I\u2019m gonna let you in on a question I\u2019m gonna ask him, because it fascinates me. “Conrad…” Actually, if you knew him, and if you heard him speak, you would think that Conrad is of the establishment, and you would think that Conrad Black would look at Donald Trump and would say, “Don\u2019t you ever darken my door.\u00a0 Do not ever come into my house.\u00a0 You are a reprobate!”\u00a0 But it\u2019s the exact opposite.<\/p>\n Conrad Black thinks that Donald Trump is going to be the most memorable and perhaps the greatest president in the history of the United States.\u00a0 He is unabashed in his support for Trump.\u00a0 He is fearless in his explanations of Trump.\u00a0 He has done business with Trump.\u00a0 He\u2019s been friends with Trump for years.\u00a0 He loves Donald Trump.\u00a0 Donald Trump does not offend him.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the many ways that Conrad Black, if you knew him, would surprise you.\u00a0 But he\u2019s totally all-in.\u00a0 The title of his book is Donald J. Trump: A President Like No Other.<\/a><\/p>\n As he says, “It\u2019s not a long book. It\u2019s not heavy. It\u2019s only 256 pages.”\u00a0 His biographies of Nixon and FDR are 800 pages, 700… (interruption) I know.\u00a0 Conrad\u2019s Nixon biography is all-consuming, absorbing, and it\u2019s sympathetic. It\u2019s supportive.\u00a0 Conrad Black\u2019s somebody you should seek out anyway.\u00a0 Just find things that he\u2019s written and read them.\u00a0 I guarantee you your vocabulary will skyrocket.\u00a0 He will not intimidate you.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like some writers use words purposely so that you won\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about.\u00a0 Conrad wants you to know what he\u2019s saying.\u00a0 Fascinating.\u00a0 So here we have Overkill, by Ted Bell, a novel.<\/p>\n We have The Light Within Me, by Ainsley Earhardt<\/a>, and we have the John Couch from Apple book, Rewiring Education: How Technology Can Unlock Every Student\u2019s Potential<\/a>.\u00a0 And Donald J. Trump:\u00a0 A President Like No Other, by Conrad Black<\/a>.\u00a0 Also Salena Zito.\u00a0 Folks, you\u2019ve got to get her book. The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics<\/a>.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got to get this book.\u00a0 It is seminal.\u00a0 It is fundamental to understanding why Trump was elected and why he\u2019s gonna continue to be. Get it!<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BOOK-The-Light-Within-Me.jpg\")
<\/a>Ainsley Earhardt has a book out that is genuinely fascinating. It\u2019s called The Light Within Me<\/a>. You know, she had a children\u2019s book. She\u2019s trying to compete with us and Rush Revere<\/a>. And she had a children\u2019s book called Take Heart, My Child<\/a>. And this book is actually kind of a pre-memoir memoir. It\u2019s filled with quotes from Scripture. It describes her relationship with her family. And it basically explains how she turned out the way she has. Who she is, why it happened, that it wasn\u2019t an accident, and her honor and gratefulness for her family and her child, just the general way her life has played out.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BOOK-Rewiring-Education.jpg\")
<\/a>Now, Apple has always had a foot in the door in education. They\u2019ve recently made a renewed push in the education field with the release of a new iPad and curricula, elements and aids for classrooms and so forth, a couple apps. But Couch\u2019s book is basically about, you know, on-the-ground philosophy and technique and suggestions for incorporating the latest technology with education.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BOOK-Flight-of-the-Eagle.jpg\")
<\/a>There\u2019s nobody like Conrad Black.\u00a0 He wrote a book…\u00a0 I remember the last Conrad book I recommended to you was Flight of the Eagle<\/a>, and it was about the strategic beginnings of this country during the days of the founding, and it focused a lot on George Washington in ways Washington is usually not written about.\u00a0 Now, Conrad Black has been writing pro-Trump columns at National Review<\/a> for a year and a half now.\u00a0 But he was early all-in on Trump, and I frankly… I\u2019m gonna be interviewing Conrad for the next issue of The Limbaugh Letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BOOK-Donald-J.-Trump-A-President-Like-No-Othe.jpg\")
<\/a>And he does believe that Trump is already one of the greatest characters, one of the most delicious characters to follow in all of American history.\u00a0 The fact that he has become president is icing on the cake.\u00a0 He thinks nobody — nobody — could do what Trump is doing.\u00a0 Ignore the ruling elite, ignore its arrogance, come in and — in a relative overnight period of time — totally begin the process of reorienting and fixing America against the greatest odds any president has faced since Washington.<\/p>\n

<\/a>She\u2019s identified them, categorized them into seven different kinds of voters and explains why they vote. She interviews \u2019em.\u00a0 It\u2019s them! You hear the actual people who voted for Trump and why and why they\u2019re gonna continue to do so.\u00a0 This would be the best book the Drive-By Media could read to find out what they\u2019re up against.\u00a0 They won\u2019t do it.\u00a0 You know, when Salena Zito is interviewed… She sent me a note.\u00a0 I\u2019m gonna be honest.<\/p>\n
