KEN: We thought after yesterday, after it came out clearly what was in the voter bill in Georgia, a lot of people — I know I did — thought that people would see the light in the sense of… Not you. You\u2019ve already looked; you know what\u2019s in it. I\u2019m talking about, you know, maybe Coca-Cola will think twice or Delta or United and the seven other companies that are going after Georgia\u2019s new voting law and playing word games like, “It\u2019s Jim Crow and this is an outrage!”<\/p>\n

Who is making those decisions, and can they read English? ‘Cause I know the law is in English. I\u2019m sure if it\u2019s a woke community, it\u2019s probably in 38 languages, but it should be in English. The version I have is in English. The problem with most people on the left is they don\u2019t know why or what they\u2019re protesting. They cannot explain it to you.<\/p>\n
They can only explain it to you with a talking point. So, if you said, “Hey, why are you protesting, boycotting, marching, kneeling, striking?” you get the same garbage. You notice that? There\u2019s never a definitive clarity. You say to a person taking a knee at the NFL game…<\/p>\n
“Injustice, man!”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, but can you be more specific? Why would you be leaving Georgia? Why are you boycotting?”<\/p>\n
“Because we should not be taking the right of people to vote away.”<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s wrong. And this is the core piece of the puzzle with the left. Because once you get someone brainwashed, you can plug anything into their brain. That\u2019s the beauty of brainwashing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s done in public schools. These people don\u2019t even know what they\u2019re doing. And that\u2019s every single leftist — not every one but most leftists — are the same way. The sheeple.<\/p>\n
“Why are you protesting?”<\/p>\n
“Well, you know, Trump, he\u2019s orange.”<\/p>\n
“Well, you gotta do better than that.”<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re boycotting your company because…”<\/p>\n
“Because of what? ‘Cause you heard something on The View?”<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know if people need to wake up or grow up. The people on the left just do what they\u2019re told. And the woke ones are the worst. Woke is a joke. It\u2019s better to be awake than woke. So when you find out what just happened with the Georgia voter law and what just happened with the Major League Baseball, check this out. Here\u2019s Tom Cotton.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061720-Cotton-1.jpg\")
COTTON: I\u2019ve got some shocking — in fact, terrible — news for all of your viewers, especially for all the social justice warriors at Major League Baseball, Colorado appears to require photo identification to vote in person. Yes, Colorado also has fewer days of in-person voting than Georgia. So I guess if Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams think that Georgia is Jim Crow 2.0, then maybe Colorado is Jim Crow 3.0 — or perhaps the area is Jim Crow 3.0 or 4.0. I\u2019m losing count here of the Democrats slanderous claims against our states because they don\u2019t have any early voting and they have many fewer drop boxes than Georgia does.<\/p>\n
KEN: So isn\u2019t that interesting? So let\u2019s review. Major League Baseball moved the All-Star Game out of Georgia because, “Jim Crow! Jim Crow! Stacey Abrams! Voter suppression!” They moved it out of Georgia to Colorado. Colorado has voter ID, which is what they want in Georgia. Colorado has fewer early voting days than Georgia.<\/p>\n
Colorado has fewer, not more.<\/p>\n
So do you see the stupid, hypocritical, crazy behavior that\u2019s taking place? And this is what is exposing the left. This is why I call 2020-2021 the American Awakening, because now we\u2019re seeing deep state gone wild, the Democratic Party gone wild. We\u2019ve given all these people their own bulldozer, and none of them have ever been on a construction site.<\/p>\n
I might stick with the building metaphor, so look out. It may end up later in the show. You\u2019ll hear about backhoes and cement mixers. I just love that even to this day. (laughing) I could sit and watch a construction site — and it\u2019s not a Trump thing, either. You know, Rush detailed so wonderfully — and, of course, it\u2019s sad. But the left manages to…<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to say, “poison everything,” but they just can\u2019t leave well enough alone, and everything a leftist touches becomes more divisive. Have you noticed that? No matter what it is, if it\u2019s a bathroom policy, if it\u2019s a mask policy, if it\u2019s an NBA game. One of the last things on the planet that brought people together was sports. Here\u2019s Rush.<\/a><\/p>\n RUSH: Professional sports in general in this country, what has it always been? It\u2019s an escape. It\u2019s an escape from what? The rigors of life elsewhere. It\u2019s an escape from the humdrum of the daily life that everybody has. It\u2019s an escape from a rotten boss. It\u2019s an escape from wishing you had more money. Whatever. It\u2019s an escape from the things that you have to do every day in your life because of responsibility or commitment or what have you.<\/p>\n And I just don\u2019t think that this has a life span that anybody can see because it\u2019s gonna totally change the way people perceive sports. Sports was, as far as everybody was concerned — and this is surface stuff. But you\u2019re watching an NFL game on Sunday, let\u2019s say, as an example, and you know (because you have eyes) that the majority of players are African-American, on both teams.<\/p>\n You know that the population of the league is 70% African-American, 30% white — and yet, in that, we all see the teams apparently all unified about one thing: Winning. If there is trouble in the locker room, we don\u2019t know about it. There aren\u2019t any cameras in there, and nobody was talking about it. So it appears that, “Look what sports can do! Sports can unify!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041420-Rush-Sports.jpg\")
So an NFL game or a Sunday afternoon — or spending some time watching Major League Baseball, the NBA, college football, whatever — it\u2019s a respite. It\u2019s a place you go to escape all of this, including controversy, the controversy of politics, corruption, you name it. Now the sports leagues are embracing all that you use sports to escape from, and they are incorporating all of it into their daily presentation of their business — football games, baseball games, what have you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
