“Here We Mark the Price of Freedom.”<\/p>\nRUSH: Today, ladies and gentlemen, is the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. That is the end of World War II in Europe. It signifies the defeat of Germany 75 years ago. That was only six years before I was born. President Trump and Melania went to the World War II Memorial today, and there\u2019s something there that just made…<\/p>\n
I found myself watching this and stopping — watching it at rapt attention, almost at attention — \u2019cause I had not seen this before. It is a memorial that has thousands of gold stars. And the president and Melania were standing in front of this. It\u2019s huge. I\u2019m sure some of you have been to Washington and have seen it — and the text, the words on the memorial, really got me.<\/p>\n
“Here We Mark the Price of Freedom.”<\/p>\n
It was the people who died, 18 to 23 years old for the most part. Some, of course, older than that. I sat there remembering. I\u2019ve been to the D-Day beaches and Pointe du Hoc, and I\u2019ve been to the American cemetery there. It\u2019s hallowed ground. It just got me to thinking of all of the people who\u2019ve made so many sacrifices.<\/p>\n
“Here We Mark the Price of Freedom.”<\/p>\n
Six, seven words if you count the preposition. Really powerful.<\/p>\n
“Here We Mark the Price of Freedom.”<\/p>\n
It\u2019s exactly right. To so many people, World War II, Germany and Japan? It\u2019s ancient history to a lot of people. You start thinking about what would happen if we had not prevailed, if we had not won. But of course, we did, and it\u2019s a testament to the American resolve, American commitment, American perseverance and American courage.<\/p>\n
I just wanted to make mention of it because it\u2019s probably… It\u2019s like Pearl Harbor Day every year; it happened so long ago that it\u2019s only a day of note to people of a certain age. Now I am a person of that certain age. As I was saying, V-E Day was five\/six years before I was born. So it\u2019s pretty much right about the time I was born.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I just wanted to acknowledge it for those of you who had families, lost people in World War II — or maybe you\u2019re still a World War II survivor, still alive. People still think about you and still have great gratitude for what you did. And I got to thinking about 20.5 million jobs lost in April. I think about this virus and the shutdowns that are being advocated and encouraged by people.<\/p>\n
Then Chuck Schumer…You know, folks, if you doubt what I\u2019m saying today that the forces arrayed against Trump on this Russia scandal are the same people that are behind this effort to destroy the U.S. economy, because it\u2019s all about destroying Trump, I want you to listen to this tweet from Chuck Schumer.<\/p>\n
Chuck Schumer is the leader of the Democrats in the Senate. Wait a minute. Where…? What happened to it? I had it right in front of me. Well, I\u2019m gonna have to find this because I just am up against it on time. It\u2019s a sickening thing.<\/p>\n
