Weekly Address: It’s Time to Fill the Vacancy on the Supreme Court
In this week’s address, retired Federal Judge Timothy Lewis joined Vice President Joe Biden to discuss the nomination of Chief Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Limbaugh alluded to questions surrounding the timing of a deal involving Canadian company Uranium One and the Russian government, which recently took a 51 percent controlling interest in Uranium One and Uranium One’s donations to the Clinton Foundation. According to Limbaugh, the lack of skepticism from the media has allowed for the former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to create the narrative they are looking out for the middle class and accuse their political opponents of only seeking to help out the well connected.
