<\/p>\nJASON: Hey, hey, greetings, music lovers, thrill-seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain. It is time again to honor our favorite anchorman, America\u2019s Real Anchorman, remembering Rush on the Rush Limbaugh program. I am Jason “Infrastructure” Lewis. You know, I\u2019m talking to my good buddy from high school last night, and I said, ‘Hey, Infrastructure!”<\/p>\n
Then I\u2019m watching the Masters. Did you see where the infrastructure won the Masters? And my long lost relative, Infrastructure, called me the other day and just said, “You gotta watch the Yellowstone series. It\u2019s just great.” I\u2019m telling you, infrastructure is everywhere — and why in the hell not? It\u2019s anything you want it to be if you are a Democrat.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s day care. It\u2019s mass transit. It\u2019s child care. You name it! Just ask Kirsten Gillibrand. Just ask the energy secretary. We\u2019re gonna talk about this, because the gaslighting now is moving towards fiscal policy, my friends. And the fiscal policy ruse is, first it was a stimulus, and we have now spent two to three times more on covid stimulus bills, $5.7 trillion worth — more than the entire federal budget, when I was in Congress.<\/p>\n
We spent more on those than any other country. Now we\u2019re moving on to infrastructure, which means anything except infrastructure. It means day care, but it doesn\u2019t mean the Keystone XL pipeline, or the Enbridge pipeline here in Minnesota. Doesn\u2019t mean that. Doesn\u2019t mean highways. It means mass transit. It means all of the things that Democrats want it to mean.<\/p>\n
These people will lie about anything, and in Minneapolis today, the governor is at it again. The Democrats are at it again. BLM is at it again. You know, it\u2019s almost impossible to tell listeners of EIB what it\u2019s like to live in a place like Minneapolis-St. Paul — unless, of course, you\u2019re living in Seattle or Portland or New York. You know exactly what it\u2019s like.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is no… I don\u2019t want to be too hyperbolic about this. There is an assault on law and order while the law-abiding are locked down. It is the most perverse scenario you could possibly imagine in this country. These Marxists — and let\u2019s be honest. BLM is a Marxist group.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t that many years ago — I think 2014 — when they were at the state fair in St. Paul saying, you know, “Pigs in a blanket! Fry \u2019em like bacon.” They were after the police then, long before George Floyd. So now we\u2019re in the midst of a very, very tense trial in Minneapolis, where the prosecution is saying the knee restraint by the police officer killed George Floyd.<\/p>\n
And defense (who is yet to call their witnesses) is saying, “No, no, no, no! Here\u2019s a guy who was on drugs. He had high blood pressure, had heart problems, and a neck restraint, for instance, on a healthy person wouldn\u2019t have been fatal.” We\u2019ll see how that plays out in that respect. But that is the point of the criminal justice system, to wait and see how it plays out.<\/p>\n
There is no wheels of justice moving slowly in Minneapolis-St. Paul, in Portland and Seattle. It is mob rule. The wheels of justice were actually moving quite rapidly. The Hennepin County attorney filed the charges — the quickest in history — after the George Floyd event. Quickest ever. The attorney general, Keith Ellison, the predecessor to Ilhan Omar, is now taking over the prosecution.<\/p>\n
And Al Sharpton and the Floyd family and everybody under the sun is warning the judge and the jury in so many public statements, “You\u2019d better get a conviction! You know what\u2019s gonna happen if you don\u2019t? The same thing that happened last night in Brooklyn Center.” Brooklyn Center is the town just adjacent to Minneapolis about 10 miles from where the tragedy of George Floyd occurred — and last night, there was a riot.<\/p>\n
Last night, a police officer in Brooklyn Center had stopped a car. I guess it was yesterday afternoon. The driver had an outstanding warrant — apparently, a suspected gang member, although we\u2019ll see how it plays out. They had an outstanding warrant. They tried to arrest him, but the driver resisted apparently and drove away.<\/p>\n
He reentered the vehicle and drove away, prompting the officer to fire at the vehicle, striking the driver, killing the driver. What ensued in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Saint… It\u2019s not even a suburb. It\u2019s really part of the Minneapolis area. What happened was not a peaceful gathering. What happened was not a curfew. What happened was not a protest. It was a riot.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-041221-Minn-Riots-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
A Walmart store was rooted. Looters spilled over into North and South Minneapolis. A police headquarters in the neighboring city of Brooklyn Park was, quote-unquote, “shot up” around 8 p.m., “multiple rounds fired through the building\u2019s glass,” according to the AP report. Protesters, rioters, looters, were jumping on police cars, confronting officers, rocks and objects thrown.<\/p>\n
Twenty businesses. Here we go again. Remember the riots of 2020? Twenty-five people lost their lives in toto nationwide, 750 law enforcement officers were injured, citizens dragged from their cars. We\u2019re talking about in Minneapolis alone in the Twin Cities, $500 million worth of damage to 1,500 buildings. They turned the AutoZone into a war zone, and it happened throughout the country.<\/p>\n
What happened then? At the time, my Senate opponent Tina Smith encouraged the rioting by saying, “We\u2019ve got to examine the dangerous role police play. We need more righteous protests.” What happened last night? The most… How shall I put this diplomatically? The most… I served with this guy in Congress when I was in the 115th.<\/p>\n
Tim Walz, who is now the governor of Minnesota, was there as well. Tim\u2019s a charlatan. Tim pretends to be the everyman, but he refers to rural Minnesota as “rocks and cows people.” After the tense situation of the trial that\u2019s on going, what does Governor Tim Walz tweet this morning in the wake of the riots last night?<\/p>\n
His wife… I shouldn\u2019t say… Not his wife, but the governor tweeted, “Gwen and I are praying for the victim\u2019s family as our state mourns another life of a black man taken by law enforcement,” quote, unquote. Well, that\u2019s encouraging if you\u2019re a cop, right? “Another life of a black man taken by law enforcement.” That is about as irresponsible as you can get.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-041221-Minn-Riots-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Why don\u2019t you, Governor, wait and see what the facts on the ground are before you start fueling the flames? These people will do anything to intimidate the other side. Now they\u2019re trying to intimidate the Supreme Court. We\u2019ll get to that a little later in the program. This group started this intimidation tactic back in 2016 and \u201917.<\/p>\n
Now it\u2019s BLM, and don\u2019t you think Rush was all over this? It wasn\u2019t that long ago.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is from the New York Post: “Occupy Wall Street\u2019s Finance Committee has nearly $500,000 in the bank, and donations continue to pour in — but its reluctance to share the wealth with other protesters is fraying tempers.” Yes, my friends, they\u2019ve got a stash! They got 500 grand, but they\u2019re not redistributing the money to all the protesters.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right, the top 1% of the protesters have the money, and you know what they did with it? They put it in a bank. (Gasp!) They put it in a bank. Banks are what they are protesting. In fact, I\u2019ll bet it\u2019s even collecting interest in the bank. So with a half million dollars in the bank, isn\u2019t Occupy Wall Street part of the 1% now?<\/p>\n
Yeah. “Some drummers — incensed they got no money to replace or safeguard their drums after a midnight vandal destroyed their instruments Wednesday — are threatening to splinter off.” Are these people playing that Todd Rundgren song? “I don\u2019t want to work. I just want to bang on the drum all day”?<\/p>\n
That used to be a theme song for the Green Bay Packers. When the Green Bay Packers score a touchdown two or three years ago, and that\u2019s what they played (singing), “I don\u2019t want to work. I just want to bang on the drum all day.” Well, I know, probably residents went down there and vandalized the drums because they\u2019re playing all night and keeping people awake.<\/p>\n
One of the Occupy Wall Streeters said, “‘F–k Finance. I hope Mayor Bloomberg gets an injunction and demands to see the movement\u2019s books. We need to know how much money we really have and where it\u2019s going,\u2019 said a frustrated Bryan Smith, 45, who joined OWS in Lower Manhattan nearly three weeks ago from Los Angeles, where he works in TV production.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s hilarious. The things they are protesting are now happening within their own group. They got 500 grand and it\u2019s not being distributed. It\u2019s not being divvied up equally among all the protesters. The organizers have put it in the bank. This is the most fun and most telling article from over the weekend on this children\u2019s crusade known as Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re putting their money in an evil bank, probably collecting interest. And with more than a half million dollars in the bank, aren\u2019t they now part of the evil 1%? Yeah, wait \u2019til they have to pay taxes on this. I\u2019d like to see \u2019em open their books, too, you know, along with their protesters who are unhappy. Like, who is going to pay the IRS the taxes on these $500,000 donations?<\/p>\n
And note, ladies and gentlemen, how these people could afford to buy their own underwear. Yeah. They\u2019d rather beg on the street for new underwear than get a job, but they\u2019ve got 500 grand. They could go out and buy their own sleeping bags now! They wouldn\u2019t have to make them. (interruption) I don\u2019t know how they\u2019ve… No, you wouldn\u2019t necessarily have to file as a corporation. You could file as a nonprofit. You could file just as an individual.<\/p>\n
It might have been one guy who went down there and opened an account or they could have a tax ID. They could go sub-S, they could go C Corp, they could go nonprofit. We don\u2019t know how they\u2019ve organized themselves. But I\u2019ll lay you ten to one they\u2019ve organized themselves in such a way as to have to pay as little in taxes as possible. You want to bet on that?<\/p>\n
You want to bet these people are not lining up and signing up for the 35% bracket? No, these people are gonna be part of the same crowd not paying their fair share. What they did… They had the 500 grand; they have splurged. The story in the New York Post points out that they\u2019ve splurged, they bought a flat screen TV and popcorn for their pajama party movie nights. They didn\u2019t knit their own flat screen TV. They bought it from a corporation.<\/p>\n
They bought it from a store, which sells the TV, the store bought it from the corporation that makes the TV, and now they\u2019re gonna show movies from corporations on the flat screen TV that was made by a corporation and sold by another corporation. Maybe they\u2019re just gonna play Michael Moore anti-capitalism documentaries or something.<\/p>\n
But the funny thing here is they\u2019re squabbling now over money that was given to them. There\u2019s vandalism taking place. Their drums have been destroyed. And of course, they\u2019re whining and crying and they want everybody else to do something for them. They\u2019re squabbling over money that was given to them. Imagine how angry they would be if they had worked for this money.<\/p>\n
JASON: Well, Rush, we know what they would do. Well, not if they had worked for the money, but we know what the BLM cofounder is doing this very moment. Buying up real estate in Malibu and perhaps the Bahamas! Did you hear about that?<\/p>\n
