BRETT: It\u2019s incredible to watch the political drama playing out on the stage, driven in large part by someone who clearly has no script, and that is, well, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. This pivot from what ought to be focused on — the notion that the border is in crisis — over to gun control in the last 24 hours has been, well, expected.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t want to be talking about the border in meltdown if I were Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. But it\u2019s the weak ham-handedness that we see from this administration as it relates to restricting your Second Amendment rights that continues to just absolutely blow my mind. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show. I am Brett Winterble.<\/p>\n

Our phone number on this Friday to have a conversation is 800-282-2882 — 1-800-282-2882 — and be sure to check out RushLimbaugh.com for all the latest, best content, information, analysis. You name it, it is all right there for you. We remember yesterday the press conference with Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

Somebody who hadn\u2019t been seen in like 12 or 13 days. She was tasked with becoming the border czar, never showed up for that job. But there she was with the president, Joe Biden, announcing a new set of executive actions and legislative proposals on gun control, saying that gun violence is a public health crisis. Among other things, here\u2019s President Biden.<\/p>\n

\"\"BIDEN: No amendment to the Constitution is absolute. You can\u2019t yell crowd… You can\u2019t yell “fire” in a crowded movie theater (mutters) call it freedom of speech. From the very beginning you couldn\u2019t own any weapon you wanted to own. From the very beginning the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren\u2019t allowed to have weapons. So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we\u2019re recommending are contrary to the Constitution.<\/p>\n

BRETT: When he freelances on the big issues, it\u2019s not pretty. It\u2019s not pretty. We can certainly, you know, hit him for transpiring words. You can\u2019t yell “Crowd!” in a fire theater… I\u2019m sorry: You can\u2019t yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater, all that sort of stuff. But when he gets off the script, he gets twisted up because he doesn\u2019t understand the fundamentals of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.<\/p>\n

The Second Amendment. The sacred right of people to defend themselves. Not from bad guys, not from their neighbors, not from deer who might attack you, not from people who may be lurking on your property causing you to go out on your balcony and fire two rounds of shotgun blasts from the balcony (laughing) which he advised back in 2013, as vice president.<\/p>\n

Just in case the home had been breached by bad guys and Jill Biden had to take that Mossberg out there on the balcony and bust some caps in the air. Certainly, a surprise to the Secret Service agents, no doubt. But I digress. But it\u2019s not about that. It\u2019s about the Constitution. This is not about whether any right or freedom is absolute.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about what\u2019s written in the Constitution, and the Founding Fathers made it abundantly clear that they believed the American citizens — the American citizens in this republic — had the right to defend themselves in a variety of circumstances. James Madison noted, that “the Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed —<\/p>\n

\"\"“– which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.” That\u2019s Federalist number 46. You can go on and on to leader after leader. Alexander Hamilton of New York: “If circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms who stand ready to defend their rights and those of their fellow citizens.”<\/p>\n

Federalist 29. Alexander Hamilton is the patron saint of the far left. These Founding Fathers were held up as geniuses when they were trying to impeach Trump after he left office. I don\u2019t want to digress. Thomas Paine, Pennsylvania: “Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were the law abiding deprived of the use of them.”<\/p>\n

That should be a billboard campaign! That should be a T-shirt that is being told. That should be at the top of everybody\u2019s Twitter page. Thomas Paine of Pennsylvania: “Thoughts on Defensive of War in 1775: ‘Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were the-law-abiding deprived of the use of them.'”<\/p>\n

Gee, I can\u2019t think of any cities that are suffering the ravages of bad actors holding the people of those cities in mortal dread and fear. Back in March of 2018, former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice appeared on The View, and the subject of gun control came up. Rush made mention of her appearance because she skewered the issue with a single story. Here\u2019s Rush with Condoleezza Rice on Second Amendment.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The whole subject of gun control came up. Now, when this subject comes up on The View, you have to understand, these are brain-dead, unthinking robots that just utter and shout the dumbest and stupidest left-wing talking points, led by Joy Behar.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s all steeped in hate. So gun control comes up, and the Second Amendment and Trump and the NRA, and Behar and the rest of these gals, some of them just go off on the unusual talking points, gotta get rid of guns, da-da-da-da-da.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And Condoleezza Rice, who\u2019s African-American, calmly sitting there, said, “Let me tell you why I support the Second Amendment.” And she told a story of her childhood in Alabama. She lived on a cul-de-sac with other African-American families.<\/p>\n

It was a modest, lower to middle class neighborhood, it was an African-American neighborhood in Alabama, and routinely a chapter of the Klan would either ride through on motorcycles or in their cars and taunt and threaten and intimate and basically harass.<\/p>\n

She said that her dad, every time it happened, would grab his rifle and go out the front door and meet them on the street and fire his rifle in the air. And they would leave. And after a while, they stopped coming back. And there was dead silence on the set of The View.<\/p>\n

Maude Behar didn\u2019t have a thing to say. The normally insane, raucous audience was silent except for the smattering of applause you could hear, much like what you describe when she told Schiff to do it or get off the pot.<\/p>\n
