<\/p>\nTODD: By the way, lest you doubt that Team EIB views us as family — that is, you, me, all the fans of Rush — Michelle is gonna join us here from Grapevine, Texas. She was on hold for 2-1\/2 hours yesterday, and this team decided to take her number and call her back today. So here we have Michelle from Grapevine, Texas, on the Rush Limbaugh program. Todd Herman, your guide host. Michelle, it\u2019s great to have you here. Welcome.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you so much, and I do appreciate the team for calling me back. I wanted to discuss with you sort of this insidious march toward socialism and how at the very, very top of this administration and the Democrats in charge, how they are lying to us. And as an example of this, when the president two days ago was pitching his $1.9 trillion, quote-unquote, “infrastructure package,” he was talking about Made in America and bringing jobs and goods back to America. In almost the next breath, incongruously, he was saying, “But I\u2019m going to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% —<\/p>\n
TODD: Ha! Ha! Ha!<\/p>\n
CALLER: — and China\u2019s corporate tax rate is 25%. It\u2019s a complete disincentive for any corporation who has to respond to their shareholders to bring jobs back to America from China. It\u2019s an incentive for them to expand their corporations, their corporate work in China. And it will affect all of us because we will lose jobs here in America, and we will take more for consumer goods coming from China than we would if they had been made in the United States. But we have to become, as the Democrats say, “woke” to this, that we are being scammed by this administration — at the border, at the CDC — with our loss of liberties and being told what to do and not to believe our ears and our eyes.<\/p>\n
TODD: That\u2019s brilliant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
CALLER: I just… It is very, very terrifying to me that they believe, truthfully, they can look us in the eye or speak to us on television, and we are just being absolutely compliant. I was scammed a week ago. I was the victim, and I was very compliant.<\/p>\n
TODD: Yeah, but not —<\/p>\n
CALLER: And this seems to be what\u2019s happening to all of us at the highest level.<\/p>\n
TODD: Yeah, but not to you. Not in this case. Not to you. I want you to know something. You\u2019ve just now typified where the Democrats were so afraid of Rush because of the information — 33 years of information — that you can turn into power, all of us by pushing back against these things. Michelle, what you just said, there\u2019s not a host on the joke called CNN that would be able to as succinctly explain the scam of what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
So, look, take this to people who have these jobs now that were brought back — the Rust Belt jobs, the heartland jobs. Take the information Michelle just shared with us to your friends. So glad we got you back on the show, Michelle. Thanks very much for calling Rush\u2019s program. By the way, if you know people who have been through what Michelle\u2019s describing, the ultimate conclusion of all this is, of course, this weird China model that the Democrats are clearly working this country towards where government and Big Business become one preying on us.<\/p>\n
If you know people who escaped countries like that to come here, please, please make sure that your kids meet them, that they come to schools to speak and to your churches to speak, to talk about what this looks like. It\u2019s another way to take information that\u2019s potential power and make it powerful. Now, you want to hear…? We had Rush\u2019s visionary statement earlier. You want another one? Listen to the Maha use a brilliant example of how socialism destroys. But he doesn\u2019t cite the Soviet Union or Cuba. Rush\u2019s example has proven perfectly correct.<\/a><\/p>\n RUSH: “Rush, when you and I were growing up, there was a living embodiment of the disaster of socialism and communism, and it was called the Soviet Union.” Well, young people today do not have a Soviet Union. There isn\u2019t an example of failed socialism, communism, as prevalent as the Soviet Union was for us. The Soviet Union was a 50- to 70-year existence, a 50- to 70-year teachable moment.<\/p>\n Do you know what the closest — and I\u2019m gonna maybe step in it here. Do you know what the closest example today we have to the abject disaster we think is awaiting us? What\u2019s the closest example? I\u2019m not talking about China because that will never work. People\u2019s tech gear comes from China, so they don\u2019t want to blame China. And don\u2019t say North Korea because nobody takes them seriously, little pot-bellied dictator.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s not that big an exhibit yet. But it\u2019s getting there. What is the nearest example we have of the eventual implosion? California. Now, Europe, as a whole, yeah. But, see, the news coming out of Europe is not truthful enough. Europe is not being reported on as failing. Europe\u2019s not being reported on as imploding. It\u2019s not being reported on as being overrun by immigrants.<\/p>\n But California — and it\u2019s not bottom up yet. But there is no Republican Party. It\u2019s a one-party state. They have been overrun by illegal immigration, and California used to be a dominant Republican state, and not that long ago. It was the state of Ronaldus Magnus, George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson.<\/p>\n The Republican Party used to be dominant in that state. It\u2019s gone, and for one reason: illegal immigration and the rise of the radical, uber-left. Do you know in the California assembly there are seven Republicans? What must that be like for them? They are looked at as a total joke by the Democrats in the assembly. They\u2019re probably not invited to any meetings. They\u2019re probably not on any committees — and if they are, they\u2019re for comic relief.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-040920-Socialism-BW.jpg\")
All we\u2019ve got now is Venezuela and Venezuela\u2019s not big enough, not powerful enough, never has been a threat to the United States. It\u2019s some little tinhorn down there. And it\u2019s not enough. Its abject failure in socialism is documented. It\u2019s a hundred percent true, but it\u2019s not big enough to convince young people. They look at it and say, “Well, it\u2019s the wrong people running it, didn\u2019t have enough money, depended on oil too long,” or whatever. They can come up with any kind of excuse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
