The Dave Carter Show #24

David Limbaugh Talks Supreme Court, Civil Unrest, Racism, the Left’s Double Standards

74
Hosted by Dave Carter
With guest David Limbaugh

In a show we could just as easily have named “David Limbaugh Cuts Through The Static,” the acclaimed NYT Best Selling author, pundit, and brother of Rush Limbaugh sits down with our own Dave Carter for a running stream of analysis that both figuratively and literally cuts through the static. That’s because the interview ran into a technical snag that resulted in actual static in the audio recording! Remarkably enough, Mr. Limbaugh’s clear analysis and commentary rises above the static (owing perhaps to his passion and conviction), so that the audio distortion will not prevent you from hearing what he has to say.  And what he has to say needs to heard as a ringing indictment not only of the cancel culture and the left’s mob mentality, but of those on the right whose vacillations have helped bring us to this point.

Then Ricochet’s own Henry Racette stops by to discuss his recent article, “About That Vacancy,” and how he sees the 2020 Presidential election shaping up.  This episode is rich in analysis, technical glitches notwithstanding, and we think you’ll enjoy the conversations.

So, just after all the “breaking news” that ACB was President Trump’s pick for SCOTUS, two despicable “people” went on twitter and floated nasty unsubstantiated accusations about her adopted children.

Amy Coney Barrett: A View from Rhodes College

President Trump is going to announce his nomination for the Supreme Court later this week, and all the talk is about Amy Coney Barrett, currently a Notre Dame professor of law and a judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.  As it happens, Amy was a classmate of mine at Rhodes College, a small (1,400 students at the time) liberal-arts school in Memphis.  I didn’t know her well, but she was a friend of other friends, and we were acquainted a bit through being in a club together.

I can tell you a few things about her, though.  For one thing, she did not have a wild reputation, so I think that if she’s nominated, the Senate hearings will have to find something else to complain about.  She was an English major and served on the Honor Council, a student body that enforced our honor code against lying and cheating (a great feature of academics at Rhodes that allowed us take-home tests in many classes).  We were both in Mortar Board, an honor society.  She wasn’t a political activist and was never a member of the College Republicans (I was, and we had a much larger membership than the College Democrats).
