Up next c J. Pearson Uncensored, part of the English three six D network. And especially in a world where we have cowards on both sides of the island, the media, people who don't know how it's going to affect their family. Because you speak truth in these days, people want to come for your family. They want to rip opportunities away from them to hurt you, because that's just how vile people are, all right, guys, it's c J. Pearson of c J. Pearson Uncensored. America lost a legend, an icon um, someone who truly paved a path in the industry that really before him didn't otherwise exist. A man who gave voice to millions of Americans who had previously gone voiceless, who had gone on her A man who didn't care about being liked by people who hated him, or people who despised his values or his love of America, but a man who persisted in the face of it all. A man who was derided by the left for being bigg a racist, sexist, every name in the bug. But still he persisted. He persisted because he loved this country, because he loved America, because he loved the people in it. A man that I'm talking about is Russia Limbaugh. After a courageous fight against lung cancer, he died on yesterday, and his wife announced that death on his show. Now, guys, I've got to tell you, when it comes to Russia Limball that it's a tough one for me because not everyone really knows it's about me. But I come from a progressive household. You know, my parents are not died in the wool Conservatives or Republicans by any means at all. They just aren't um. But I remember growing up I would sneak off and listen to Russia Limbaugh. I would do that because I was eager to learn. I was wanting to have another perspective. And sometimes the the conserved respective I would get in my home was Wrestling Ball when I would sneak off and listen to his show. And I've never gonna forget that, because I don't know if I would be the concern I am if I hadn't heard him, if I hadn't listened to what he had to say. But thankfully he was there. They're not just for me, They're for millions of Americans. Yesterday, I was actually in an uber headed to Birmingham from Tuscaloosa, and I saw you an older guy, and he was telling me. He was like, this death feels like I just lost a really good friend. Like I've never met him before, but I listened to his show every single day. It feels like I lost a really good friend. And from what I saw from so many people on social media, I feel like that's the exact feeling that they got as well. They lost someone that they really really care and about, who had been there for our country in a way that they really can't compare anyone to. And what I've said about Russia's death is that this man is not replaceable. He isn't. Let's just be real. I can't think of any talent comparable to who Russia is and what he was and what he did for this country. But what I will say is I think it's so important for us to draw inspiration from them, because I think that what I really like about Russian and you can probably get this five from me if you listen to the show, is that I like people who don't give a damn about what people have to say about him, who love this country so much or so unapologetic, and their love for and their patriotism that they really don't give a damn about being liked but the cocktail elite by the random Democrats on MSNBC or whatever. They don't care about getting the Hollywood Walk of Fame or whatever. They care point blank period about fighting for the underlying values on which our nation was built. And not was Russia limpap, That was Russi Lampa. And I've got to tell you, you you want to know how Russia limball, how effective he was, how good at what he did he was, just look at Twitter and look at in the way that left us are responding to his death. I am disgusted by it, truly and truthfully disgusted by it. Rush was someone's husband, He was someone's godfather. He was someone who was invested in his community. He was known for being a generous tipper. And I don't mean someone who just took fifth year percent of a bill. He would give literally five thousand dollar tips for like a single dinner. Like he was that kind of guy. Outside of his politics or whatever. If you disagree with him on that, whatever, that's fine. Outside of all of that, he was just a genuinely good guy. Genuinely good guy, but that doesn't s out the left from dancing on his grave before his body even gets cool, saying that they're glad that he is dead, that America is better without him, that he was a racist to bigot, and they're taking all these quotes out of context and saying that he deserved to die simply because again of his political beliefs and the values upon which he held God. If this is the current state of affairs in America, I have to say that America is in some deep, deep trouble and we should all be concerned. We should all be mortified about what this means about our discourse as a country. But also I think we should also be aware that this is a truly, almost exclusively a leftist problem. And don't let the media or anyone else tell you otherwise, because I will say for myself, and I'll speak for myself here that when RBG died, when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, I to offer my condolences because I didn't care that we disagreed politically or philosophically, or that maybe she held ideas that I didn't have. I believe that she served this country in the way that she saw fit. I believe that she loved this country. Even if I disagree with her approach to public service or or approach behind the bench, I believe that for a lot of women she was a hero. She opened a lot of doors and blaze a lot of trails for people like her, and that deserves some respect. And so I said, you know, I tweeted when this happened. I was like, you know, hey, we have a lot of different values, but my thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family. I didn't say, well darn like she supported abortion, blah blah blah. She did all this like no, because I said, right now, we're not talking about politics or mourning as a nation right now. And you want to know who also said that same thing. Listen to this clip from President Trump on the news when he first heard the news of Justice Ginsburg dying. I didn't know that. I just telling me now for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman. Whether you read or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. Actually said to hear that said that, he didn't say, well, she wasn't in my party. She deserved it. Well, she didn't say, guys, it's the world is so much better without her. He didn't say that because conservatives don't govern with a black heart. We don't govern motivated by evil or vitriol or any of that. We governed she's based on love for our neighbor, right. And what what what blows my mind about all of this, truly and truthfully, is that these are the same people that like to parade around and act like they're better than everyone and say things like when they go low, we go high. They're the same people who like to attack Milania Trump for saying that bullying is bad because of her husband. But look at what they are doing on social media. Literally for hours, the hashtag rest in piss trended trended on Twitter because they were so upset. I'm speechless about it, because I can't even explain how you can be so hateful and spiteful. Do you allow yourself to be pushed into such a dark place where you are actively celebrating the death of another human being from something is violence? Cancer? How sick can you be? But and it doesn't really surprise me because as the left that if you mess up one time, you're irredeemable, you're done, you're gone with canceled culture. But Rush was uncancellable because he didn't give a damn and he wouldn't let them cancel him because he knew who he spoke for and he knew we had his back through thick and thin. And that was that. And I gotta say, Rush, we're gonna miss you. We're gonna miss you. I'll see you guys after the break. What's up, guys, Welcome back. So before the break, got talked about how Rush was the kind of guy who couldn't get canceled because he didn't get about getting canceled, because he refused to coward to the people that wanted him to tame himself or be more moderate, or be less provocative or controversial, because in his eyes, he wasn't being controversial. He was just speaking his truth and he was pretty confident that what he was saying was the right thing to say. He didn't apologize for the things he said. I can't remember at any time Rush getting some heat in the mainstream media and then me a few days later or even later that day, seeing an apology from Russi Lumball hitting the news, I I never saw that. And guys, I listened to his show, um you know, I followed him my followers, producer bo. You know, at no point during his decades long career and throughout my life, you know, I'm I'm eighteen. As long as I listened to him, and that's since wow, since that was maybe eight or so. You know, at no point did I ever see some article saying Russia Lumball apologizes after leftist outrage mob or whatever. I never saw that, And I think that's why he was so good at what he did, because he was one of those people who didn't care, who was unapologetic, and especially in a world where we have cowards on both sides of the island, the media, people scared speak truth because they don't know how it's gonna affect their bottom line, their career, their job. People who don't know how it's going to affect their family. Because you speak truth. In these days, people want to come for your family. They want to rip opportunities away from them to hurt you, because that's just how vile people are. But it makes you think, like in this way, like people say, how do we stop cancel culture right? How do we get this ship from happening, you know, And I feel like a lot of people have failed to really realize that the way we stop cancel culture is by stop caring. Okay, seriously, it's by stop caring. We have to realize that some people I really want to drive this country into the ground. They do. They're gonna take every little thing that they can to ruin someone's life similarly because they can. And those people don't deserve our validation, didn't reserverse support, they don't even deserve our acknowledgement, you know. Like I looked at this recent thing with with Chris Harrison The Bachelor. Now, guys, I don't watch The Bachelor. Let me just that's that's an important disclosure unless I'm with my friends who are girls, because you know, they're they're crazy about The Bachelor. They're crazy about that. And I will say that like I'm no Bachelor right here. That is the most dramatic and like engrossing show, like you get like hold in, like I've never seen a messier TV show in my life. Like single handedly, I see why women love it. But Chris Harrison has been like the host for as long as I can remember, um and he recently got some hot water for defending. Really, I don't even know if you could say defending. But one of the girls who was on The Bachelor went to an old South party UM when she was in college. At it's a fraternity event. It's basically a party where people were like pre Civil War Annabellum dress is and things like that. UM. And she also apparently liked to picture on Instagram with the Confederate flag in the back. She liked pictures with Trump flags as well, and apparently, in the eyes of the left, this was, oh my god, the grossest sin. It was terrible. It had nothing to do with the fact that all of this happened when she was in college, it was years ago. UM. Had nothing to do with the fact that it wasn't her taking a picture with the Confederate flag or a Trump flag or anything like that. It was only her liking the picture of a friend that she pursumed went went to school with. And even if she was the one taking the picture, you have a Confederate flag in the bag of a Trump flag in the bag. I don't know how that is a grounds for you to be canceled. But but but here's what's even crazier. Though. The reason that Chris Harrison got canceled is not because he said, well, what's wrong with her having that Trump flag in the back, what's wrong with her going to an old South party, which really doesn't happen much anymore. I got Alabama even here, like, I'm pretty sure they had to get rid of the event because about controversial it wasson to certain people, but not even that. Chris just simply said, like all of the stuff happened years ago, Like what's with this cancel culture? That's all he said. Chris Harrison got canceled for criticizing cancel culture. Yeah, and you know what he did. You know what he did, and which is why I really don't know what I'm sitting here defending him now, because he doesn't even have the balls to defend himself. He apologized to these people. He apologized these people for saying that maybe you shouldn't be canceled for the things that you did many many years ago. You should be canceled for taking some random picture that really doesn't matter. You shouldn't be canceled for liking a picture that you weren't even in. Would they Trump flag? Not some Nazi Swatzkin the act, not some random racist gambit in the back nothing, no racial symbolism or anything like that. But it is a Trump flag, a Trump flag that last time I checked, seventy million plus Americans are pretty damn proud of right. But here's what he said. He said, you're right. Harrison then said that was not the case in ten when apparently all of this picture liking and picture taking happened. And he said it again, I'm not defending Rachel. He's not defending the girl who took these pictures. Like these pictures or whatever you just said. I know that, I just don't know fifty million people do that. In eighteen, that was the type of party that a lot of people went to. And again I'm not defending I didn't go to it, and so after the backlash from god knows where, I certainly didn't see it because I would like to surround myself the same people. Apparently Chris is unfortunately not to the same. He made this apology. He said to them, my Bachelornation family, I will always own a mistake when I make one, So I'm here to extendist a sincere apology. Have this incredible black speak about love, and yes she had to take a stance on topics out which I should have been better informed. While I do not speak for Rachel Kirconnell, my attentions were simply to ask for grace and offering an opportunity to speak on her own behalf. What I'm not realized that I have done is called harm by wrongly speaking in a manner that perpetuates racism, and for that I am deeply so sorry. Also apologize to my friend Rachel Lindsay for not listening to her better on the topic she's a first hand understanding of, and humbly think the members of back to Nation who have reached out to me to hold me accountable. I promise to do better. Yikes. Like again, as I just said, I don't know why I'm sitting here defending him, considering he doesn't have the courage and defend himself. But this is ridiculous, Like the guy literally went out of his way to say, Hey, I'm not defending what she did, what she said, what she liked, that's not really the issue here. But let's just recognize that that was a different time when there is different understandings or whatever, Like should you not give her grace. That was his argument, should you not give or grace? And that was it, and for that he lost his hosting gig. Apparently he's lost some brand deals. And that as the environment we find ourselves in. How do we beat it? We do exactly what Chris Harrison didn't do. We say, I don't give MM, I don't care. I don't care about what you have to say about me, about your feelings, your spinelessness. I don't care. I said what I said. I said what I said. That is what we need more of. We need more people who will simply say, when the left comes for them, I said what I said, I did what I did, and I would do it again. That's what Rush Lamball taught us. It's time that we remember, guys. I'll see you after the break. Final thoughts heo, Hello, Hello, welcome back, guys. So. I don't know how many of you guys caught the train wreck on CNN H this past week with Joe Biden doing that town hall um, but it really confirmed to everyone who watched that, Wow, this man is really not there, Like he's there physically. I see him. He is real, or so we think, right um, But he is not there, Like, first you have them basically lie it with no pushback from CNN that there was no stockpile, that there was no plan in terms of vaccinations when he in an office. It's one thing that the vaccine, which we didn't have when we came in office, but a vaccinator, how do you get the vaccine in the summer's arm um. And then you even have Dr Focci, who does not like Donald Trump, let's just be real, doesn't like him, despises him. Maybe right, you could say that, say that like that's a lie. It's like Biden's line, like that's not true, Like there was a plan, there was a strategy, it existed. But you don't get any pushback from anyone else. You know, if if Trump's is something like that, they'd be like, look at him propagating these untruths, these mistruths. Oh my god, guys, it's it's it's so bad that I like literally know how they speak. It makes me sad. You know, I watched that town hall and first you have Jinsaki, the Press secretary. Right, She's like, we're gonna open schools five days a week, and we want fifty of the schools across the nation and in five days a week, and that that's a win, like five days weeks win. And then you have Joe Biden this town hall move the goalpost, not buy an inch, not by foot, but by a whole Texas smile and says, actually, know, the real plan is we want to open schools, like because you or some of the the schools, but like one day a week, like that's ideal and not only just like and and it's K three ring and it's like that is a very big difference. And he said it was a miscommunication. You know it was. It was an error in communication, Okay from your team, right, yeah, because that's what that was. And so it's like, what I don't understand is what's going through President Biden's mind when he thinks that open schools means open one day a week. In what world is that an open school This is the leadership, though, that we have leading us to EU a pandemic. We have a president who changes his projections by the day, blames it on his staff, says it was just an error in their communication. A president who actually doesn't even have the time or maybe the attitudes and might say to speak to world leaders on his own, he's phoning it in. He's having Kamala Harris take these calls that she's been having with multiple world leaders across the country. It was recently reported on his behalf speaking not to just leaders of some all nations, but leaders of Canada somemharrow closest allies right on his behalf, because apparently Joe Biden just isn't up for it. He can't handle it, he can't take it, he can't do the job that he was elected to, you know, the final wings of the Trump president. There's a lot of talk about the twenty five Amendment and whether or not I should be evoked because Donald Trump had said some things, things that they said you say that you don't really say, and whatever it was. And what's interesting pain in the minute, it's all about congressional like your presidential fitness, like are you able to do the job of the presidency, And every single day I feel like Joe Biden makes it pretty clear that he just can't do it. But you don't hear see ann talking about the need for the amendment to be invoked or people to look into it. You don't see his cabinet even discussing it. From what we've seen from press reports, and so it makes you think about the hypocrisy, the double standard, and the fact that they're okay with a loon running the country as long as that loon is a D behind his name, and that is worrisome, worrisome for our country or republic, but for the safety and security of our nation. Like, seriously, this is bigger than that. Like, I will never get over the fact that people legitimately voted for a man that does not even know his name or barely dies. Probably has to your mind in the morning where he is and where he's at, Like he literally probably walks out the outside of the White House, and I was like, wow, oh my god, oh my god, it's like the white picket fins in that like little Prairie movie, right Prairie. Now, No, it's not. You're in the White House. You're in the White House. You're in the White House. Ye. Anyways, Yeah, I think that's all for me. I think that's all for me. Guys. I'll see you back here next week right here on C. J. Pierson Uncensored. I can't wait to talk to you about whatever happens in the meantime. And we know A lot will happen between now and then, but until I see you next, have a great rest of your week, and let's keep fighting. Hey guys, c J.
