TODD: Last week, Friday, there was more proof that — even as Rush is in heaven — this program, courtesy this time of EIB and great guide host Jason Lewis remains on the edge of societal evolution. You heard this weekend perhaps that the House GOP looks to be moving away from Liz Cheney, which is a smart decision. And there\u2019s a reason it\u2019s coming late.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that is that that we don\u2019t triangulate, that is those of us who are just activists and simply Americans who are aware of the stakes, that we are in a death struggle with communism. We\u2019re not able to triangulate. We want our country to stay the United States — or at least America, \u2019cause I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s united now.<\/p>\n

So you may have heard this. Jason Lewis had the woman that may replace Cheney in some important positions on last Friday<\/a>. I\u2019m gonna get to that story. I just want you to right-off-the-bat understand how fresh the program remains, and still putting to this Rush\u2019s enduring wisdom. So Kevin McCarthy has moved to or has announced that he backs Elise Stefanik to replace Liz Cheney in the House GOP leadership.<\/p>\n

The reason that this, to us, seems late is that we are watching the stakes increased every single day in our country. I do a show in Seattle, in Washington state. The so-called governor there has just demanded that the schools teach racism, that they will teach critical race theory. And there is a… Within critical race theory, there\u2019s this opportunity to forevermore rid the world of racism.<\/p>\n

Forevermore, because according to critical race theory the problem with the world is “whiteness,” which means that the problem is white people. So a nonviolent solution to this would be simply don\u2019t let white people have anything. There you go! Racism is solved, because black people cannot be racist, which would come as a surprise to anybody who\u2019s ever talked to black people about black people.<\/p>\n

But this is being shoved down upon states across the country, and President Trump was against this. President Trump understood these stakes. Ron DeSantis understands these stakes. Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, understands these stakes. We\u2019ve understood these stakes for years, and sometimes when you\u2019re in the buildup to what is in fact a cold — may God keep it cold — civil war in our country, sometimes the battles even rhetorical aren\u2019t pretty.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re looking at Liz Cheney who is unable to remove herself from the triangulation of embarrassment. She\u2019s got her donors, her establishment base, her establishment pedigree, and her own notion of what is polite or impolite to hold her back in a full-on battle for whether or not we maintain this country.<\/p>\n

You know, we live next door to the country of Canada where SWAT teams are arresting pastors outside their home in the middle of the streets because they won\u2019t stop preaching. That\u2019s happened in Canada. That\u2019s like, again, next door to us. South of us in Mexico, we have cartels running things.<\/p>\n

There was just an article about the cartels loving the West Coast decision to legalize any and all drugs and not pursue sex trafficking, et cetera. The stakes are this high. Liz Cheney did not get that. She can\u2019t. She can\u2019t divorce herself from the swamp. She grew up in it. She can\u2019t see it. Elise Stefanik can. Elise Stefanik can see it, we would hope.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, is this a true conversion for Kevin McCarthy? I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ve met him. He\u2019s a nice enough person. Does he truly understand the stakes? I hope he does. So I mentioned that Jason Lewis talked to Elise on Friday,<\/a> on Rush\u2019s show. That\u2019s at RushLimbaugh.com for you to look at and so you can review that.<\/p>\n

In an interview this weekend with Maria Bartiromo on Fox\u2019s Sunday Morning Futures, House minority leader and California Republican Kevin McCarthy officially declared his support for Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York in her bid to replace Liz Cheney as the third-ranking Republican in the House.<\/p>\n

\"\"MCCARTHY: To defeat Nancy Pelosi and her socialist agenda, we need to be united, and that starts with leadership. That\u2019s why we will have a vote next week, and we want to be united in looking, moving forward. And I think that\u2019s what will take place.<\/p>\n

BARTIROMO: Do you support Elise Stefanik for that job?<\/p>\n

MCCARTHY: (pause) Yes, I do.<\/p>\n

TODD: Ha-ha! I like that he has to pause and think about it. So following that, Stefanik tweeted a thank-you for his support and added, “Together as one team, we\u2019ll stand up for the American people” and #FirePelosiIn2022. Guys, we did that fire Pelosi thing, fire Nancy Pelosi thing. It worked really, really well. Let\u2019s update some things.<\/p>\n

How about we\u2019re going to save the United States of America or bring it back to a “united” state? Because right now it\u2019s not. And you can say socialism — you can say that all day long — and, you know what? With young people it sounds like free doughnuts. Because it is! It is. It sounds like not working for a living. Because it is! To them.<\/p>\n

As the left is installing universal basic income with covid flu as the excuse, we\u2019re gonna use catchphrases like “socialism”? How about this? How about, “The end of America is what we\u2019re facing”? I\u2019m not the only one who said that. Liberals like Dr. Naomi Wolf have said that, written books about it and are warning of it.<\/p>\n

Well, the Never Trumper equation in this… I am baffled at how, at this point, even people like me who are troubled by the president\u2019s personality when he ran for president… (sigh) I watched the results. He\u2019s defending this country. I am baffled as to how people can remain in that Never-Trumper stance. And Rush talked about the Never Trumpers and asked this question.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have a question that everybody that hates Donald Trump needs to ask, and I know they\u2019re not going to. This is a rhetorical, academic exercise. Well, it\u2019s not just academic. There\u2019s actual substance to it. But I don\u2019t expect the people that hate Trump to actually play. But the questions are:<\/p>\n

\"\"Do you hate Trump, or do you hate his antics? Do you hate his personality? Do you hate the way he tweets and talks, or do you hate the results he gets? What is it you really hate about Trump? That is the real question. Is it petty, personal hate driven by fear and loss of power or massive, monumental results?<\/p>\n

This is the thing about the Never Trumpers that has forever intrigued me. It doesn\u2019t puzzle me because I understand it. Here you have these so-called conservatives who have, for their careers, at least in the last 30 years that I\u2019ve been aware of them, have been attempting to implement conservatism throughout our country — politically, culturally, socially. They have published magazines. Well, they haven\u2019t. They\u2019ve asked for money to publish magazines.<\/p>\n

They actually don\u2019t know how to create their own income. That\u2019s the amazing thing about them. They\u2019re conservatives and they have to beg people for money. They have to beg Rupert Murdoch to fund the first magazine. Then go beg somebody else at Bloomberg to fund the next magazine. Then they go beg somebody else to fund the big cruise where they\u2019re gonna go have all these conservative spokesmen to come out there and tell people what to think and what to do.<\/p>\n
