JASON: You know, I\u2019m gonna play a clip here about what Rush said about Google years ago. But it\u2019s not just Google that is leading the charge or Apple and Tim Cook leading the charge on boycotting Georgia or corporate wokeism. It\u2019s all of them. It\u2019s all of them. I remember talking to one Government Affairs or PAC director during my Senate race last year.<\/p>\n
(laughing) I called them and said, “How about, you know, a meeting and I\u2019ll tell you why a growing economy with low taxes and the rule of law and private property\u2019s the best thing for your company, competition?” “No, we\u2019ve already contributed to your Democrat opponent.” “Well, you haven\u2019t even met with me. I didn\u2019t even announce my candidacy yet.”<\/p>\n
“We don\u2019t care. We just support incumbent Democrats because that\u2019s the safe way to go.” You know, corporate America in Minnesota was away out ahead of everybody else. I don\u2019t care whether it\u2019s General Mills, where my Senate opponent used to work, or whether it\u2019s Ecolab or 3M or Medtronic or you name it. The businesses, the big public businesses — part of the Minnesota Business Partnership — were all in for BLM.<\/p>\n
I personally know of a guy that quit the partnership because of this, but they\u2019re few and far between. Corporate America is gone. So when I joke about “the double Irish” as I did last hour — the double Irish being if you made a foreign profit in say, Ireland, and you wanted to repatriate that back to Germany. For a German company operating in Ireland, Germany didn\u2019t tax you twice.<\/p>\n

You already paid your Irish taxes. But in America, prior to Trump and what we did in Congress, if you made that money in Ireland as foreign profits and you brought them home, you were double taxed. You had to make up the difference between our top rate of 35% and whatever the foreign tax was. We were the only country to do that.<\/p>\n
What we did in the Tax Cut and Jobs Act was we lowered that rate to 21% and said, “Bring the profits home,” and $1.6 trillion came home. Now Biden wants to undo that with his infrastructure package. Now, the knee-jerk reaction to most conservatives is, “Hey, you can\u2019t do that!” But you know what? I\u2019m starting to rethink this.<\/p>\n
I am done carrying the water for corporate America, after what Delta and Apple and the corrupt Major League Baseball did. Here\u2019s Major League Baseball running around the country for decades demanding that you taxpayers build their stadiums — which they did in Minnesota and across the country — and then they decide to lecture you that a voter ID law is somehow racist!<\/p>\n
How ironic. How ironic. The Masters stands their ground, holds their own, does a wonderful ceremony with Lee Elder, and then an Asian-American wins the Masters through merit. Hideki Matsuyama. It was a great Masters, by the way, and that\u2019s the way to do it. They didn\u2019t back down. Major League Baseball did because they\u2019re cowards. They are cowards — and so are their fans, by the way.<\/p>\n
I hate to say that, because many of them listen to the program, but I get so many angry Twitter feeds from, quote-unquote, “sports fans.” ESPN and the sports community might as well just be an arm of the Democrat Party. Let\u2019s be honest about this — and it\u2019s too bad, but it\u2019s true. Anyway, Rush\u2019s take on groupthink as a gateway to totalitarianism<\/a>. Hit audio cut 13.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
