I\u2019m not a competitor of Ms. Joyce<\/a>. I was kicking and screaming yesterday!<\/p>\nTODD: HA! HA! HA! HA!<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: I heard every word she said. But let\u2019s be clear: She\u2019s my family! My husband heard me, everyone heard me, so I\u2019m gonna say it like it is. I love you guys! She\u2019s my hero. Miss Bess is my hero. Stop talking about defunding my heroes. My husband and I have been to all 50 states. We travel quite a bit; they\u2019re standing next to me, the Border Patrol. President Trump —<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a Christian soldier Republican. I\u2019m black-white-Indian. I shall stand! They ask me all the time — and I pray they are listening to me — because I\u2019m standing no matter what. This is America. Stop the kneeling NFL! Stand up for our heroes. They did nothing wrong. They are not racist. They just love us. I\u2019m standing next to them. I chase them like a puppy! My husband was listening thinking, “Firecracker, that was you yesterday.” I said, “No, she\u2019s just my hero.” I keep standing with them.<\/p>\n
TODD: HA! HA! HA!<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: I\u2019m in California. It\u2019s Christian soldiers Republicans, but they were not put on their big boy pants. It\u2019s not a difference in California. President Trump is on my gate right now, my community family gave me a flag. I shall stand next to God. I love you. I love you. Everyone freaks out all the time. I always tell them, “Why don\u2019t you stand?” They ask me, “Where did it come from?” I say, “I was born into it, Jesus!” I\u2019m a Christian conservative Republican. My family served this country. I don\u2019t think so! This is America. The Border Patrol?<\/p>\n
No! I\u2019m telling you standing next to them too. I pray they\u2019re listening. But everyone can actually do something today. I\u2019m angry and I\u2019m crying! They can actually take a trooper! Please come out and thank them. Stop talking about they\u2019re trying to beat you when they\u2019re not. They\u2019re trying to do their job. What are they supposed to do here? They are supposed stand! They have to make a choice.<\/p>\n
Their families love them too. So let\u2019s be clear, America! This is America, no Third World country. If my baby had an amazing life in a free country, almost seventy countries (unintelligible), I shall stand for all the babies. And I\u2019m so sick of (unintelligible) everyone talking about the babies with the white skin. They did nothing wrong. They were born. Jesus set that up perfect. We all matter to Jesus.<\/p>\n
TODD: HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: So I shall stand. I freak everyone out when they see me. They\u2019re like, “Aren\u2019t you a hundred pounds?” I say, “I do not know, but I will stand for Jesus.” I bow down before him, and until I leave, I will stand! Rush is in glory now. Kathryn, you\u2019re amazing. Mr. Snerdley, you guys are amazing! No one wants to talk about the elephant in the room, so I\u2019m talking about it today.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not a comparison to Miss Joyce and Miss Bessy. Amazing. But today, everyone can actually help everyone and actually love on my troopers! (crying) They are listening to this phone call! I called them and when I say I\u2019ve been to 50 states, I mean all of America. They always say, “What does states mean?” They call me Firecracker, that little posse. I\u2019m not stopping! I love you, sir. Do you want to ask me something or am I done?<\/p>\n
TODD: Well, do you have any thoughts on people like —<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: (crosstalk) and ask me.<\/p>\n
TODD: Let me ask you this. Now, Firecracker, I do have some thoughts. I do have some thoughts. We got about a minute together \u2019cause your eloquence and your energy is awesome. It\u2019s just awesome. I\u2019m sitting here with… I got the Chris Matthews shiver up my leg.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-022221-Callers-BW-F.jpg\")
FIRECRACKER: (shouts)<\/p>\n
TODD: So I want to ask you this. Do you have any thoughts on…? I just want to pick a name out of the hat like the gasoline. Do you have any thoughts on her? Well, she\u2019s from California. Do you have any thoughts on Kamala Harris?<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: Oh, absolutely! She\u2019s wicked. I told them not to vote for her, and let\u2019s get someone else. On Obama, I told them not to vote for him. I was born in Chicago! That\u2019s the thing about this. I said, “This is gonna be the biggest race war ever.” My friends and family freaked out! I said, “I don\u2019t think so.” I was born into it. That\u2019s what I have on her. She\u2019s wicked. Biden? I told my baby boy, “He\u2019s not the commander-in-chief!<\/p>\n
“President Trump is my commander-in-chief.” I shall stand. My family at the Trump rally… My husband put on a Superwoman cape. I cried so bad, they were like, “Firecracker, you\u2019re freaking us out. You\u2019re gonna be on front news!” I said, “I don\u2019t care! I\u2019m going to Jesus. I\u2019m going to stand, period.<\/p>\n
TODD: (chuckling)<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: Anything else, Mr. Todd? I do love you. You are my hero.<\/p>\n
TODD: Let\u2019s say this. You know, here\u2019s what I want to say. You mentioned the Lord\u2019s name multiple times. You do know that I love the fact that you noticed that Jesus made us of all these different color. The Lord did that, and you know what he said, Firecracker? He said, “It is good.”<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: Yes!<\/p>\n
TODD: He said it is good that we have water and air and that it is good that we have the mix of personalities, yours and mine, and you\u2019ve inspired a bunch of people. So for today, this is what we\u2019re gonna do, Firecracker. Today, we\u2019re gonna go thank a trooper. All right?<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: Okay!<\/p>\n
TODD: When this show is done, we\u2019re gonna go out and thank a trooper, and then we\u2019re all just gonna say thank you to Firecracker for being a positive, patriotic American calling this show, a God-fearing woman. We appreciate you, and I love you back. Thank you, Firecracker.<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: You guys are my heroes. Please tell Kathryn, since Rush Limbaugh asked, she\u2019ll chase him someday. My family is driving him crazy right now. I would have thought that \u2019cause we\u2019re all the same. If we want to be successful, it starts with we are all the same.<\/p>\n
TODD: Okay.<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: I love you, Todd.<\/p>\n
TODD: Very good.<\/p>\n
FIRECRACKER: (call drops)<\/p>\n
TODD: God go with you, Firecracker. That was… See, now, again, we can get these phone calls. Somehow the mockingbirds can\u2019t find women like this who speak up for their country. Can\u2019t do it. (interruption) What? Oh, I did. Someone just sent me a text. HA! HA! HA! The Maha may have heard that phone call in heaven in glory. Yes, indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
