KEN: There is a stall campaign and a misinformation campaign about so much that\u2019s going on, which brings me to how, if the politicians lie — which they do on both sides — this is how we get into these messes. We got into this mess about so many different things, but let\u2019s focus on what I would call “a true cluster,” and that is professional sports. But it doesn\u2019t get that far.<\/p>\n

It starts with politicians lying but it never gets that far unless the news media reinforces it; so the politicians start the lie. “Yeah, this new voter law in Georgia, it\u2019s like Jim Crow.” “Jim Crow! I learned about that in social studies after I had my green energy course and my powerful women class.” Yeah, but Jim Crow is so far back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so long ago, when you look at how time moves. It\u2019s 2021, and the fact that Joe Biden said, “The efforts to reform election laws,” I\u2019m quoting Joe Biden, “in Georgia and Iowa are sick and un-American and they bring back Jim Crow.” This is what we\u2019re up against. Now, can we win? Of course, we can. We outnumber them by about 340 million. Of course, we can win.<\/p>\n

There are so many ways to push back peacefully and legally. But the news media keeps that from us as well, because the news media is on Team Biden, Team China, just like the Major League Baseball is on Team China. The politician starts the lie. “This is horrible! We can\u2019t let people disenfranchise voters.” If one more clown says “disenfranchise” to me…<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t even know what it means. Woke has become a joke. Don\u2019t hang with woke people. Hang with people that are awake. Hang around with those people, \u2019cause woke has become a joke, from major companies to airlines to sports teams. I\u2019m so tired of seeing grown men on their knees. How did that even happen? You don\u2019t think China\u2019s laughing their butt off?<\/p>\n

How did that even happen? How do we become the country where all the grown men take a knee and do exactly what they\u2019re told? That\u2019s kind of scary. So the news media keeps it going. The news media will not tell you the truth about Joe Biden\u2019s comments. You know, voting\u2019s gonna end at 5 o\u2019clock? Wrong. Nothing changed in Georgia.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nothing changed. Where did they come up with this? “They\u2019re gonna close the polls at 5 o\u2019clock. You won\u2019t be able to vote!” The pathological lying would not even happen. It would not continue (laughs) if the media didn\u2019t do it too. In Iowa they moved up the closing time by one hour. So you know when the polls close now? 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

In Iowa, the polls are open 7 to 8 in the new bill. So if you\u2019ve been buying what MSNBC has been selling, you\u2019ve been buying a whole ton of lies. And that ridiculousness about the absentee ballots? “There will be no absentee ballots!” That\u2019s what Joe Biden said. “They want to get rid of absentee ballots.” Nothing of the sort.<\/p>\n

Now, I grant you it means sitting down and reading the bill, and that\u2019s something that a lot of news people will not do. If it\u2019s not on the teleprompter, they won\u2019t say it, and a lot of teachers won\u2019t do that, either. You get a liberal college professor; they don\u2019t need to read a book. They\u2019re a professor, for God\u2019s sake. There you go. They need to go Stanford, like Susan Rice.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s gonna be absentee ballots. In Iowa, they said, “You know, what? Let\u2019s make sure that the ballots arrive by 8 p.m. on Election Day.” Now, anybody with common sense… That\u2019s this entire audience, but maybe not your neighbor who\u2019s still watching The View and Jerry Springer in reruns. How is that…? How does that disenfranchise anybody?<\/p>\n

\"\"You can have an absentee ballot, you can send it days ahead, but you gotta make sure it arrives on Election Day by 8 p.m. See, what we\u2019re trying to avoid is, another stolen election at 4 a.m. You see? Biden also went and said this is Jim Crow — and I can tell you firsthand, this is not Jim Crow, having read a lot about Jim Crow.<\/p>\n

It was horrible. It was a horrible time, they were horrible laws, and it was a dark period in our history. But asking voters to provide the number of their driver\u2019s license or a free state provided ID and put that number partially on your mail-in ballot is not Jim Crow.<\/p>\n

Now, if there was a fire hose involved or if someone got a beating way baton or a nightstick or dogs were let loose or a door was slammed on your fingers, I could understand it. But somebody saying, “Hey, can you putt the last four numbers of your driver\u2019s license on the lower-righthand copy of your mail-in ballot and have it in by 8 p.m. on Election Day?”<\/p>\n

Jim Crow! No. Who is contributing to this? The Ding Dongs in professional sports. My God, just play! Just play, for goodness\u2019 sake. You\u2019re on the field. Play. You want to do stuff off the field on your own time when you\u2019re not on ESPN, have at it. But for goodness\u2019 sake. Talk about humiliating.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness the Republican senators are proposing taking away MLB, Major League Baseball\u2019s antitrust exemption over them leaving Georgia, and I think you probably saw they want to take way some type of tax benefit from Delta, \u2019cause Delta\u2019s gonna… Everybody\u2019s involved in this wokeness.<\/p>\n

But wokeness, like most of the lies of the left over the past decade, is based on a lie. BLM: Based on a lie. The wokeness, the voting, the January 6th event: Based on lies. And then they take these lies and they take them to the media, and the media goes, “Oh, my gosh. These are some good lies. I\u2019m gonna expound on these.”<\/p>\n

And then pretty sure Christina Aguilera and Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks are expounding on them, and Stephen Colbert is, and soon everyone is on board with the lie. No one reads the laws, no one reads the bills, no one reads the court transcripts.<\/p>\n

We know they can read \u2019cause they\u2019re playing on their phones all day. So we know they can read. Now, one of the few people in professional sports… When I heard Charles Barkley say this… You would think Charles Barkley listens to Rush Limbaugh all the time. Listen to this.<\/p>\n

BARKLEY: Man, I think most white people and black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart. But I think our system is set up for our politicians. Whether they\u2019re Republicans or Democrats, they are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer! I truly believe my heart, most white people and black people are awesome people.<\/p>\n

\"\"But we\u2019re so stupid following our politicians whether they are Republicans or Democrats. And their only job is, “Hey, let\u2019s make these people not like each other! We don\u2019t live in their neighborhoods. We all got money. Let\u2019s make the whites and blacks not like each other. Let\u2019s make rich people and poor people not like each other. Let\u2019s scramble the middle class.” I truly believe that in my heart.<\/p>\n

KEN: This is amazing. But this is not the first time that Sir Charles has made great comments about the truth. And it\u2019s so refreshing because he is a sports icon, a black man, a wealthy man. I would consider him a American with a lot of clout, wouldn\u2019t you? And there he is just saying the truth. So this audience knows better, but think about all the people that don\u2019t know better.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll watch a morning television show on a major news network, and they believe everything. It doesn\u2019t matter how many times NPR or CNN or CBS have to go, “Oops! Sorry. That was wrong. That guy wasn\u2019t a spy. My bad. Uh, that wasn\u2019t Russian interference. Yeah, the Russians didn\u2019t do that with Hunter\u2019s… (Chuckles) Sorry, we just said that \u2019cause we hate Trump, or we hate you,” whatever. Whatever it is.<\/p>\n

When you start unraveling these lies, you start to realize that the majority of Americans, they may not have the money Charles Barkley has, but they think like he does. This is why I was so heartbroken when I saw covid and other things negatively impact our kids for the last year, because children are at a point in their life where they it need to be taught hate.<\/p>\n

And if they\u2019re not getting taught hate, if they\u2019re just being taught to respect each other and not taught fear of covid or fear of a particular skin color or fear of Donald Trump like some of the teachers… “How many videos do we see go viral on social media where teachers are saying and, you know, Donald Trump is gonna put people in prison and he\u2019s gonna arrest your mom if you\u2019re from Mexico and…” Remember that?<\/p>\n

The news media never stepped in and corrected it. So you had 11-year-old kids. How much more can we traumatize our kids? We told \u2019em the Black Plague was gonna get \u2019em and it was a load of garbage, and you know it was. We told \u2019em that Trump was gonna get \u2019em. We told \u2019em the conservatives were gonna get \u2019em. We told \u2019em that the sun is gonna get \u2019em.<\/p>\n

And Bill Gates will try to block it, if he can, when he\u2019s done vaccinating everybody. The damage done to children. And children think like Charles Barkley, believe it or not. And that\u2019s not to take away from Charles Barkley, \u2019cause what he just said was powerful stuff. But that\u2019s how children think. Children don\u2019t see color, unless Don Lemon or Anderson Cooper or Stephen Colbert point it out to them.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t see it. They don\u2019t care. Unless somebody says, “Oh, oh, oh. No, no, no, no, don\u2019t… Not… No, don\u2019t do that because of him and her,” and that\u2019s such a shame, and that\u2019s what we lost this year. We lost that this year when we gave in to our uninformed government.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

KEN: It\u2019s the EIB Network. I am your guide host for today, Ken Matthews on the Rush Limbaugh Show. A moment ago we were talking about Charles Barkley. And one of the most enjoyable things about watching Charles Barkley is nobody ever knows what he\u2019s gonna say. Understand that sports networks and most news networks are so woke and they\u2019re so on board with the narrative. And I love it when someone says, “So you know, Charles, you understand, four-by-four equals 75.” “No, it equals 8.” They\u2019re like, “Well, wait, whoa. That\u2019s not on the teleprompter, Charles.” And Rush knew this. Here he is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Charles Barkley is in the news again for what he thinks about politics. And this is another example. Barkley has said something that is by no means, no means is it revolutionary, no means is it unique. But because it\u2019s Charles Barkley, it has made news. It\u2019s on Breitbart. Charles Barkley says voting Democrat has not elevated black people. Duh. And yet Chuck votes Democrat. Here\u2019s a pull quote. “Charles Barkley is not impressed by what he saw, telling reporters that every black person I know has always voted Democrat, but most are still poor despite that support.” Well, I — and course, not to make this about me, my friends, but I\u2019ve been making this point for a long time. And so has Trump. Trump in campaigning for African-American votes said to them, what have you got to lose?<\/p>\n
