Rush Limbaugh in his studio – Screencap of YouTube video.
The great Rush Limbaugh sadly passed away in 2021, but luckily we still have countless hours of him speaking into the golden microphone on video.
In 2020, Rush retold his true story of the first Thanksgiving, in which he pointed out that when the Pilgrims first arrived in the New World, they tried socialism and it almost killed them all. It was only when they embraced the ideas behind capitalism such as hard work, individual liberty and private ownership that they were able to flourish and celebrate with a harvest feast.
They should show this on television every year, the way they used to show cartoon specials about the holiday.
Partial transcript via Rush Limbaugh’s site:
RUSH: So, my second book was See, I Told You So. The first book is The Way Things Ought to Be and the second book is See, I Told You So. “Chapter 6, Dead White Guys, or What the History Books Never Told You: The True Story of Thanksgiving.”…
The Pilgrims arrived here after an arduous trip across the Atlantic Ocean. They didn’t know why they were, had no idea what to do. They had nothing. The Indians took pity on them. The Indians saw them, and the Indians saved them. The Indians taught ’em how to do things they didn’t know how to do, like grow food, catch beavers, stuff like that.
The Indians saved them, and the Pilgrims thanked them by growing a whole bunch of food and having this big feast. So, the story of Thanksgiving that’s taught is basically how without the Native Americans there wouldn’t be a country because the Pilgrims would have died. At least the Pilgrims were nice enough to pay the Indians back with a big Thanksgiving dinner.
That’s not at all what happened. It’s not even close to what happened, which is why I decided to write about it. Now, in the Revere book — the children’s book, as I say — I went into greater detail about some of the Native Americans who provided assistance to the arriving Pilgrims, particularly a young native by the name of Squanto.
Now, I’m doing show prep today, and I come across a story in The Federalist. I quote from this website all the time, and I’m reading this story here, and, by the way, folks, it is… (chuckles) I don’t know. It’s right out of the Rush Revere book, and it’s right out of my See, I Told You So book. There’s a whole lot of discussion here of Squanto, who he was, what he did, how he helped, the details.
The point is The True Story of Thanksgiving is spreading, and I couldn’t be happier about that. Bottom line: It is spreading. I’m just gonna cut to the chase here before getting into reading the text. The Real Story of Thanksgiving, going back to the very first early days of the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock, is that socialism failed.
This is crucially important today, because we have just elected a Democrat Party that is going to implement socialism if they win these two seats in Georgia, and they’re gonna try regardless. But if they win those two seats in Georgia, you can say good-bye to the United States as you know it.
Watch below. You have two choices.

We hope you had a blessed holiday with loved ones!
