RUSH: Folks, this Stand Up for Betsy Ross T-shirt<\/a> is not slowing down. We had so many more sales over the weekend that we have upped the donation to Tunnel to Towers<\/a> from $1.5 million to $2 million. I wanted to make sure I announced this today at the top of the program so that it doesn\u2019t get lost in the rest of the program. We just had an over-the-top weekend. And we are now approaching 150,000 T-shirts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is $27 per unit that has generated enough of a profit — all the profits going to the charity. So we\u2019re now prepared to announce that, as of today, the charitable donation to Tunnel to Towers<\/a> will be two million. Two million in two weeks, folks. We\u2019re talking about basically two weeks here.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s this little story. \u201cRev. Bill Owens, a former Memphis pastor who heads the socially conservative Coalition of African-American Pastors is urging Nike to end its relationship with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick over his criticism of the Betsy Ross flag.<\/p>\n

\u201cOwens penned a petition directed at Nike CEO Mark Parker making it clear that the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback\u2019s views do not represent his organization\u2019s views \u2013”<\/p>\n

Remember, he\u2019s a former pastor in Memphis who heads the Coalition of African-American Pastors, and he\u2019s saying this guy Kaepernick doesn\u2019t represent us or anything that we believe in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe represent a variety of races, ethnicities, and creeds. And we agree that Mr. Kaepernick\u2019s views on America and the flag are fringe opinions, not shared by any of us \u2026 especially the African Americans who marched against segregation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So we have sent a box of Stand Up for Betsy Ross T-shirts<\/a> to Reverend Bill Owens in Memphis. He should be receiving them this week. By the way, again, folks, we have ramped up part-time people. We\u2019re paying \u2019em more than Bernie Sanders pays \u2019em to help us with the fulfillment here of all of these. We\u2019ve gotta get 140,000 out. We\u2019ve got a lot of them out so far, but just hang in there and be cool, be patient, because your order will get fulfilled, and it will get sent to you as quickly as we can make it happen.<\/p>\n

I just want to once again offer a sincere heartfelt thanks. This is ordinary Americans doing an extraordinary thing here. This is not, per se, something that\u2019s supposed to bring Nike to its knees. That\u2019s not the objective here. The objective here is simply to stand up, stand up for America. Betsy Ross didn\u2019t do anything to anybody.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is the Stand Up for Betsy Ross T-shirt, the only real one, the one that I\u2019m holding in my hands. The only real ones are at RushLimbaugh.com. (interruption) I\u2019m sorry? What was that? (interruption) Oh, there are over 230 knockoffs, bootlegs. There are 230 fraudsters out there. That\u2019s just another indication of on how overwhelmingly poignant, timely, and popular this is. And we\u2019re shutting them down. They\u2019re not all operating, but there have been 230 different knockoffs. Different websites that have attempted to sell this T-shirt as the authentic one.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s only one place to get the real one with our exclusive fabric and the charitable tie-in to Tunnel to Towers<\/a>. It\u2019s at RushLimbaugh.com. Just find the “Store” tab at RushLimbaugh.com<\/a>, and everything is explained right there. Just to repeat this, we have… Because of an overwhelmingly great weekend, we have now recorded and been able to announce that we\u2019re going to up the charitable donation from $1.5 million to $2 million and counting — and counting, by the way — to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
