Time Text
Ha.
How are you folks?
I am Rush Limbaugh, America's anchor man, and your host for life.
Here on the one and only Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
There was a story.
I, Mr. Snerdley, you might remember this.
I saw it on Fox not long ago, talking about all these groups now that want to expose the liberalism of their professors.
Somebody has said that this is a phenomenon known as Rush Limbaugh babies, that these kids that are in college now grew up listening to this program because their parents had it on, and so they're rush babies.
I am being quote unquote blamed uh in certain quarters, credited in others, uh, for this uh this this new effort to expose liberal professors.
Now folks, this is something uh well, you heard, maybe you heard the conversation I had with the uh the frustrated Democrat from Fort Myers, Joe.
Uh throughout the course of these 18 years of broadcast excellence and history-making broadcast excellence, I might add.
Uh one of the one of the things I've always well, I'm not a preacher, but what one of the things I've always preached is is patience.
Uh serious solidifying root planting takes a while.
And I can remember during the course of these past 18 years, uh it doesn't happen as much anymore, and it's as good it's a good sign, but I also know why.
But it used to happen all the time.
I get calls, I don't believe, do what the media said yesterday, but it's a terrible window.
We're losing.
I can't believe it.
We're one of it.
I said, just be patient.
We're not losing.
There are all kinds I've told people constantly, I used to get the question when I go out on a rush election tour, what can I do?
What can I do to help spread conservativism?
Just live your life according to your values.
Said you will never know how many people you influence.
Obviously, you'll influence your immediate family, but you will never know uh how many people you influence just by leading your life, or when you get into conversations with people, the things you say if you're informed and so forth.
And these this this business of calling these young college students now who are conservative and trying to reorient their professors uh uh rush babies.
Well, look at this.
18 years, 15 years.
He said some of the apparently uh and it I didn't say this, but this is not my term.
This this showed up in a news story uh a couple or three weeks ago.
I didn't bring it up here because I don't brag, and I don't I don't like to talk about myself as uh as you know, but somebody just reminded me of it in an email.
So, well, it may be appropriate to mention this.
Because if if the trend keeps up and it will, because uh the the roots have been planted now, the seeds are sprouting, if you will.
Uh and if the trend continues in years to come, I will be known as the father of our campus on many campaigns all across the uh the country.
And there will probably be busts uh of me at the conservative union clubs and this sort of thing.
Now, these kids are not calling themselves Rush Limbaugh babies, that's what people upset with what's happening are calling them.
Uh the the critics, oh no, I can't believe it.
Rush Limbaugh babies.
That it's meant to discredit them.
Uh but it doesn't.
It it simply illustrates how minds are shaped, opinions are validated, uh, and sometimes how long it can take.
But that's I have always felt confident that's what's being built here is gonna last a long, long time.
You can lose an election here and there, obviously, but these kinds of roots uh they're they're they're gonna they're they're deep and they're gonna get even deeper.
And it's it's like I've always said uh what has taken place just in the media in this country, just in the last 18 to 20 years is historic.
It's just not being treated as such, because the people who are losing the battle right now happen to be the writers of immediate history, uh, and the broadcasters of immediate history.
But but you go out 50 years from now, maybe 35, 50 years or longer, and the people who are not even yet born, uh, who will grow up, study what all went on in the past, start writing about this, uh, will have the proper historical perspective attached to this whole thing called the new media.
And it will happen, but it just takes time for these things to uh to to to grow.
But we're seeing the evidence of it uh all over the place if we just if we just look.
And I've I've been warning people, it's okay.
We have succeeded here in destroying the monopoly of the what is some people now call the antique media.
And in the process of destroying the monopoly of the antique media, we have also destroyed the monopoly of the Democratic Party.
And what's left to the one area that is still out there where we lag way behind is academe.
But even there, there is progress to report and progress being made.
It's just not as fast, but it will, at some point, uh, take the same shape as this destruction of the old media monopoly is taken.
Not going to be easy.
These people are not going to lay down without a fight.
I think the people on college are going to be college campus of liberals, they're going to be far more aware of what's happening to them than the liberal media.
Liberal media still doesn't know what's happened to them.
They still think they're running the show, still think they live under that whole monopolistic mindset that they have.
They still haven't come to grips with what they face in terms of competition, domination, and uh and all of these things.
Did you people happen to see this story?
I have this little obscure newspaper here, and I don't mean to insult the newspaper, but uh the inland valley daily bulletin out of Ontario, California.
Mexican soldiers and civilian smugglers had an armed standoff with nearly 30 U.S. law enforcement officials on the Rio Grande in Texas yesterday afternoon, according to Texas police and the FBI.
Mexican military Humvees were towing what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the U.S., said Chief Deputy Mike Doyle of the Hudsmith County Sheriff's Department.
Mexican Army troops had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards inside the U.S. border near Neely's Crossing, 50 miles east of El Paso, when border patrol agents call for backup.
Hudspeth County deputies and Texas Highway Patrol officers arrived shortly afterward.
It's been so bred into everyone not to start an international incident with Mexico.
This has been going on for years, Doyle said.
When you're up against mounted machine guns, what can you do?
Who wants to pull the trigger first?
Certainly not us.
An FBI spokesbabe confirmed the incident occurred at 2 15 Pacific time yesterday afternoon.
Bad guys in three vehicles ended up on the border, said Andrea Simmons, a spokeswoman with the FBI's El Paso office.
People with Humvees who appeared to be with the Mexican Army were involved with the three vehicles in getting them back across.
Simmons said that the FBI was not involved.
It referred inquiries to the U.S. immigration and customs enforcement, which uh did not return calls seeking comment.
Now the chief deputy out there, Mike Doyle, uh said that deputies captured one vehicle in the incident, Cadillac Escalade, reportedly stolen from El Paso, found about 1,500 pounds of marijuana inside.
And Mexican soldiers set fire to one of the Humvees stuck in the river.
Deputies uh faced a similar incident back in November on the 17th, when agents from the Fort Hancock Border Control Station in Texas called the Sheriff's Department for backup after confronting more than six fully armed men dressed in Mexican military uniforms, the men carrying machine guns and driving military vehicles were trying to bring more than three tons of marijuana across the Rio Grande.
So it's either one of two things, either well, one of one of three things.
You've either got the Mexican military working in tandem with smugglers on the take.
You either have smugglers dressed up as Mexican military with Mexican military vehicles running the operation to make it look like it's Mexican military so that our border patrol is intimidated to fire, or else you've got the Mexican military, which is the smugglers.
But this took place inside the uh border of the United States, and apparently it was not the first time.
Quick time out.
We'll be back right after this.
Isley Brothers fight the power.
Rush Limbaugh serving humanity.
Executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
Thanks.
Here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, populations of boys born in stressful times enjoy an advantage their whole lives.
They live longer on average than males born in times of peace and prosperity, according to U.S. researchers.
Now the study adds to earlier findings that pregnant women are more likely to miscarry male fetuses than female fetuses during times of stress.
It shows that this tendency to miscarry males has a culling effect, said Ralph Catalano of the Scrual of Public Health at Berkeley, who led the study.
He said populations are hardier because they lost the weak ones earlier, Catalano said in a phone interview.
No individuals got stronger, it's just that the weak ones aren't there.
The findings published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences also solidify what biologists have long known that males are the weaker sex.
That's one thing I can say, Catalano said.
Statistically it's clearly true.
Compared to men, women are biological fortresses.
Catalano and colleague Tim Bruckner were following up on earlier studies that showed fewer boys are born during times of stress, such as economic recessions or depressions and natural disasters.
They used data from Sweden, which has a database of birth, life, and death information dating back to 1751.
Demographers have certified that the database could be extrapolated to the global population in absence of more precise information from other regions.
So stress results in stronger boys.
Populations of boys born in stressful times enjoy an advantage their whole lives.
Now we'd have to define stress and uh and and stressful times.
I wonder if we could extrapolate from this.
That having stress in your life also toughens you up and makes you live longer rather than having a pasty little existence with no challenges and uh and no swings, no ups and downs, this sort of thing.
It reminds me, I've I've mentioned this story a couple times.
I was uh at a friend's house on a weekend in New York many, many moons ago.
A little Indian lingo there, and I after the uh it was a volleyball, water volleyball thing.
There was always barbecue lunch afterwards and after the people sit around before everybody left and just talked and there was this lovely uh oh, and by the way, I erred, uh got an email shouting at me I was wrong.
The it was not critics of new conservative students on campus that uh came up with the term rush babies, uh Rush Limbaugh babies, it was actually a conservative student on a campus somewhere said, Yeah, we are all Rush Limbaugh babies.
So that's even babies.
This is long as better as long as I'm not paying child support.
That's the deal.
Anyway, there was this young woman, 26, 27 years old, teacher.
And I don't know how we got onto this, but she was talking about how, you know, I just I think we really need to uh stop pressuring students.
We we need to slow down.
We're we're not we're pushing them too hard and we're pushing them too fast, and it's causing all kinds of problems.
We need to just slow down, and I I'm listening to this, and and she seemed perfectly nice, just adult.
You know, just an idiot.
And I'm I'm thinking, how do I deal with this?
You know, because it's a social occasion.
I mean, in some cases, okay, the letters say it.
Don't even engage in a discussion.
I could I couldn't help myself.
I said, I I gotta get under that.
I can't help this.
I said, this is precisely she's a high school teacher.
I said and high school junior.
This is a precisely the time to push them.
This is when they can take what are we preparing people for?
When they get out of school, what are we preparing them for?
Well, you think life is going to be something that they can just coast through?
There's gonna be a lot of competition.
I went through all of these arguments, and she got rather heated about it.
Uh and it spawned a much larger discussion, and it wasn't long after that that we started seeing stories pop up on the news that uh school starts too early, that kids uh getting up at six and seven to go to school, why there's too much pressure on them.
Why they don't go to bed at eleven o'clock or midnight.
Hell, they haven't even gotten out of the bars before one.
How can you make them get up at seven or eight o'clock or six or seven o'clock?
Well, I'm saying, for crying out loud, look at how can you look at the history of the country and saying starting school at eight o'clock has been a bad move up until recently, when you add all the other things, the lack of actual teaching anything, the coming up with oddball curriculum like conflict resolution, uh teachers always wrong, students always right, all these uh all these crazy things.
Now we get this.
U.S. study shows stress results in wonger boys, stronger boys.
Which doesn't surprise me.
Um in fact, in Sweden, after the most stressful times such as a famine, men's lives were four months longer than in happier times.
So the question we have to ask ourselves is this.
Do we want to put up with stressful times for an additional four months of life?
Or would you rather have no stress and lose four months of your life?
Snerdly actively considering it.
Which takes me to Rich Lowry's column today, National Review Online, Biology's Revenge, says the surest way to get attention in American society is to become a crisis.
Boys are now on their way to achieving this dubious but indispensable distinction with the new cover of Newsweek, the boy crisis.
It is to be hoped that the crisis establishes a simple truth that is astonishing anyone ever forgot.
Boys and girls are different.
Or as Newsweek puts it, boys are biologically, developmentally and psychologically different from girls, and teachers need to learn how to bring out the best in everyone.
Now wait a second.
It's been within the last 15 years.
I don't know exactly when, but how many stories did we hear about how girls are getting a short end of the stick in school because they're they're nervous and they don't have confidence and they won't raise their hands and ask questions because they're afraid of being embarrassed, and so we've got to change the whole way we teach in order to accommodate girls.
And who was responsible for that?
Epheminazis.
Who wanted everybody to believe that if you had a little boy paint his room pink and put some Barbie dolls in there, and he'll turn out no different than if you put a baby girl in there.
Which they tried.
There's some wacko liberal parents tried this.
And they ended up with broke back mountain.
You know, I mean, it's just well, that's just uh but it didn't work.
Boys are boys and girls are girls, and it is biological, and this is one of my primary arguments with the feminists all along.
They're trying to change basic human nature, trying to change basic biology for whatever reason, maybe because it was so unkind to them at some point.
Who knows why?
But it was nevertheless, these exercises have just been feudal.
We got Time Magazine's cover uh seven or eight years ago.
Shocking new evidence.
A cover story, shocking new evidence.
Boys and girls are actually born different.
Now, Newsweek, seven or eight years later, coming out with the boy crisis.
Based on the fact that you know what?
Boys and girls are born different.
They're not the same.
And the try to teach them the same way in schools is not going to work.
See, a crisis always needs its own politically correct argot, neurologist, uh neuro neuro uh neurologist, pardon me.
Quoted in Newsweek, takes a step toward establishing one here with this statement.
Very well-meaning people have created a biologically disrespectful model of education.
Thus, the boy in crisis has a rallying cry.
Don't disrespect my biology.
That's what's been happening for years.
Feminists have wanted to believe that given the right socialization, boys would give up their stubborn fascination with earth-moving equipment and guns.
As someone once said, you can have your own opinion, but you can't have your own facts.
Similarly, you can have your opinion about what gender should be, but you can't have your own brain chemistry.
Newsweek notes how in the womb the brain of a male fetus is bathed with testosterone, and as any parent knows, that makes him different from a girl.
And if if trying to raise Children systematically ignores those differences, it will be a disaster.
Newsweek recounts the indices.
Boys are twice as likely to be diagnosed with learning disabilities than girls in elementary school.
The number of boys professing a dislike of school has risen 71% from 1980 to 2001.
Men constitute 44% of undergraduates on college campaign, down from 58% 30 years ago.
And that there are fewer and fewer men, and we've seen these stories.
And I, without even reading further, I can explain all of those numbers.
Because I know this stuff.
It's common sense.
Everybody else, it's just not politically correct to say.
But I'll say it when we come back.
Stay with us.
The truth.
That's what you get on this program.
A daily relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
Here on the EIB network.
Okay, so let's take a look at these numbers here.
Boys are twice as likely to be diagnosed with learning disabilities than girls in elementary school.
And hello Ritalin.
I know this angers some of you people out there.
It's called hello ADD.
And I'll explain that in just a minute.
The number of boys professing a dislike of school has risen 71% from 1980 to 2001.
That coincides with the feminization of the classroom.
Of course, I was, I'm such a forerunner and leader.
I hated school back in 1958.
When I was in a second grade.
I hated school in the first grade.
So I've been a leader of the pack here.
I was one of the early trend setters, and I never did like it.
There wasn't one aspect of it I liked.
I'm not kidding.
I I can't, I don't have I can think back to one pleasant memory about it, other than getting out every day and then getting out at the end of the year.
And I just ugh.
I really don't.
A couple classes, I like the government classes and that stuff, but I mean, just the thought of going.
I woke up every day depressed.
I'm being sent off to prison.
It's like, you know, Johnny Cash, the song Folsom Prison Blues.
What really gave him the blues is he's a prisoner in there, and he's he can hear the train whistleblowing.
He can look out his prison cell and see the train and all these people, fat cats smoking cigars having dinner, and the train just keeps on moving further and further away from the prison, and he'll never gonna be on it because he's that's how I felt in school.
I'd look out the window, see all those cars and all those people, and thinking they're living.
I'm in here in prison.
Couldn't get out.
So I, you know, I became a practical joker.
And that didn't help me.
I'd do anything I could to entertain myself in there, spitballs on the chalkboard.
Uh any number.
And that that is in fact, back in the old days, they might have given me Ritalin.
They might have said I was a tension deficit disordered.
All I was was bored.
And it's gotten even worse with the feminization of the classroom.
And there's nothing wrong with feminism in the right place and the right time.
I am all for it.
Don't anybody misunderstand.
But you can't, you can't, after years and years of expertise in educating people in classrooms, all of a sudden, start listening to a bunch of political liberal social activists like the feminist leadership and say girls are getting the short end of the stick because they're intimidated and they don't ask questions and so forth.
So what do we do?
We introduced new curriculum.
Consciousness raising.
Let's talk about how we feel all the time when we fail the math test.
And then, of course, in addition to consciousness raising, we get conflict resolution.
And then we got outcome-based education, where if you didn't know anything, it didn't matter because we didn't want to humiliate you.
So it it it all ended up, I think, with just giant 100% boring, eliminated recess.
Can't have recess why these kids are going out there and destroying the swing set.
Can't have that.
Then physical education became well, anything but physical education.
Phys Ed became just a I don't know.
And I I just I think what you end up here with.
Now you now you've Got 44% of undergraduates on college campuses are men.
And that's down from 58% 30 years ago.
44%.
And then we hear, then we see stories about how guys are going to basically home ek in college.
They're taking home ech courses.
They don't call it home ech.
Forgot what it was.
Something like calling a window washer of vision control coordinator.
It was some some highfalutin name.
But basically, the guy's learning how to bake cakes.
You know, in in college.
Well, I know he's got to because his wife isn't doing it anymore.
You know, one of my favorite jokes, one of my all-time favorite jokes.
A man and wife have to go to marriage counseling.
Because they're just having trouble.
And a therapist accounts says to both of them, you've got to learn what each other's likes and loves are.
For example, sir, what is your wife's favorite flower?
And he goes, Oh, he looks at it, is it Pillsbury?
Love that joke.
I just absolutely love that joke.
But bottom line here is that despite all of this, despite all of this, I have a story.
Friend just sent me this.
This is from the uh Washington Post uh two days ago.
Holding it here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Study uh girls' tops in school then fail.
Study credits superior results in school to better self-discipline, but factors afterward give men the lead.
Angela Duckworth and Martin E.P. Seeligman will have a study in an issue of the Journal of Educational Psychology, publication of the American Psychological Association reporting on self-discipline and the gender gap, some verbatim excerpts and blah, blah.
Here's here's the money quote, the money paragraph.
If female students earn higher grades than male students at every grade level through college, why do more men than women earn medical, law, and other first professional degrees?
And why do men earn higher salaries than women in equivalent occupations?
One researcher concluded that relative to gifted men, gifted women have lower aspirations.
They aspire to less.
They have fewer mentors.
They have more pressure to assume family responsibilities, and they have lower self-esteem.
There is also experimental evidence suggesting that women are not as motivated as men in competitive winner-take all environments.
Hey, they knew this back in the days of Bertha Butts and the Butt Sisters.
They knew this back in the days of Crow Magnans.
It's just the way we are.
People are just different.
There are exceptions to this, of course, there are all kinds of competitive women out there.
You've probably met your share of them.
And as a man, you don't want to do with them.
Well, do you?
I mean, in the workplace, you can't do anything about it, but who wants to marry a competitor?
That's not, I mean, who wants to have a relationship with a with a competitor?
That's not.
So, despite the fact that fewer men are undergraduates in college, and despite they're getting horrible grades in grade school, because they're just bored and they're being put on riddling, and they're put on riddling because they're bored, and they act out because they're bored, and this is said to be an attention deficit disorder and a learning disability, so they drug them up and they zone them out.
So they won't be a bother to anybody in the classroom.
They just sit there and learn nothing, and they'll get interested in nothing.
And then people, oh, I wonder what happened to old Fred there.
And it's all because society's gotten caught up in this stupid notion of equality of outcomes and equality from man to woman, person to person.
No two people are equal.
Men and women certainly aren't.
And it doesn't say that there's something inherently inferior about either one.
They're just different.
So we've had all this experimentation in the classroom, and it's look at where it's gotten us.
It's gotten us two magazine covers.
Time eight or nine years ago, Newsweek, yes, this week.
Men and women are different.
And these are the learned leaders of our society of journalism.
Why, these are the people supposed to be more informed than anybody.
And this is just now news to them.
So I don't think there's any mystery to this whatsoever.
Rich Lowry concludes his uh his piece.
Well, one quick thing before his conclusion.
Newsweek reports this.
One of the most reliable predictors of whether a boy will succeed or fail in Haskell rests on a single question.
Does he have a man in his life to look up to?
An increasing number of boys, now a startling forty percent, are being raised without biological dads.
And who gave us that?
Who gave us that?
Well, who who are the people trying to redefine what a family is?
A family can be whatever a bunch of liberal wackos want it to be.
Does he have a man in his life to look up to?
Forty percent are being raised without biological dads.
Psychologists say that grandfathers and uncles can help, but emphasize that an adolescent boy without a father figure is like an explorer without a map.
On Riddling.
Other educational theorists argue that boys would be fine if they could be more touchy feely.
Really?
Other educational theorists argue that boys would be fine if they could just be made more touchy feely.
But Christina Hoff Summers, who wrote the prescient The War Against Boys five years ago, calls boys the last of a vanishing breed of Americans who don't want to spend a lot of time talking about their feelings.
Instead of trying to change that, we should accept boys for who they are.
There's plenty of time after they get married for them to talk about their feelings, but don't make them start doing it when they're five and six and seven and eight years old and just want to get muddy and dirty and go out and learn how to, you know, play cowboy and in it, whatever, G.I. Joe.
What we have witnessed recently with more evidence of the differences between men and women and the importance of the old-fashioned two-parent family is biology's revenge.
If we deny what is deep down in our nature, people get hurt.
In this case, the rambunctious boys missing out on the great adventure that is learning.
Quick time out, we'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
Here, folks, let me give you my idea of a good teacher.
When Joshua Vanoy decided to wear a Denver Broncos jersey Friday to school, he knew there'd be some joking from diehard Steelers fans at Big Beaver Falls area senior high school.
But he never expected to feel humiliated by his teacher during a midterm exam and become so shaken up that he could not finish the test.
I feel awful like I was dehumanized, said Joshua, 17, a junior, self-described honor student.
He's made a complaint to the principal against the teacher, John Kelly, who teaches an honors class on ethnic relations, saying the teacher made him sit on the floor to take his test and instructed other classmates to pelt him with balled up sheets of notebook paper just because he wore a Broncos jersey to school on the game day on the Friday before the big game the Steelers had with the Broncos.
Donna Nugent, superintendent of Big Beaver Falls area school district, said she's investigating.
We're not making light of this at all.
Mr. Kelly, the teacher, had little to say on the subject yesterday.
We won the game, Sunday, didn't we?
It's all that's all I was worried about.
The school principal said what happened was intended as a joke and that the matter was getting out of hand.
But the student said his feelings were hurt, his nerves were shattered, and his teacher's reaction to his Lway number seven jersey was anything but humorous.
He had a dead serious face, he never laughed at all.
Well I tell you, you know, I I have to I have to tell you, Miss Sterley, I agree with you.
I I think if you're Big Beaver Falls, this is Joe Nama's territory.
If you're in Big Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, just a sort of Pittsburgh suburbia, and it's Friday before the AFC championship game with the uh Denver Broncos, and you show up wearing a Broncos jersey, you're asking for I mean you're saying notice me.
Hey, look at me.
I'm a Broncos fan amidst all you Steelers fan.
Look at me, notice me.
Okay, fine, we'll notice you.
Here, we're gonna throw some paper at you while you take the test.
Bam, bam, bam, bam.
Stressful situation.
Whatever happens to this incident, this kid's gonna live a long life.
We learned that today on this program.
Jeff in Mansfield, Ohio, welcome to the program.
Nice to have you with us.
Thank you, Rash and Diddos.
First time scholar.
Uh, Quick point here.
With the feminization of education over the last 20 years, that also parallels our slippery slide in math and science scores.
Wonder how much of a correlation there is.
Well, that's an interesting point because one of the uh one of the complaints the feminists always had was that math was tough for girls to master.
It was just it was it was because it's based in logic.
And that's challenging.
And and it's it's very, very hard.
In fact, Barbie, remember the Barbie doll?
We had this on the TV show.
You pulled the string in the back of the Barbie doll and said, Math class is tough.
Remember that?
So I they they did they look we've folks, we have been lowering standards in this country all over the place in the name of equality and political correctness.
And if we lowered, you know, standards for math and science scores in school, it will obviously lead to uh to our losing ground and a competitive nature to uh other places.
Uh let's let's go up to yeah, Blacksburg, Virginia.
This is Scott.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, Rush, Proud Steelers fan and a proud uh limbaugh baby.
Hey, hey, hey, just call me dad.
No, it's my dad, I think, for being the Limbaugh baby.
He always turned me on to uh to 810 uh WGY.
Yeah, when um back when Clinton was in office, and I got hooked on the Paul Shanklin songs, and it's been wonderful.
Well, terrific.
And well, uh it's it's it's great to hear from you.
I uh we're let's see.
You are going to sort of V Tech, Virginia Tech.
Yeah, I go to Virginia Tech.
Um we're glad to be we're we're all glad to be rid of Marcus.
And uh Marcus Vick, um, what are you majoring in at Virginia Tech?
Business information technology.
Good.
At least it's not home ech.
Yeah.
But listen, I think the problem here, you know, with all that uh wacko liberals here at uh at tech is that you know we're just part of the MTV generation, and you know, most of the students here you know think that Kanye West and Dave Matthews are are politicians, and that I just wish that they weren't.
I wish that they see smart up to realize that.
Let me tell you something.
There those people are you're always gonna have those people in life.
You're gonna surpass them in life all in all kinds of different ways.
You're always gonna have them around you.
Uh but you know, just remain who you are.
Don't let those people change you and and uh understand there's gonna be more and more people like you.
And if you look at it from a competitive nature, one of the things I always liked when I was growing up, uh if if I saw people doing stupid things and aiming for stupid things, then I thought there's just one less competitor for me.
Uh you know, you you're not controlling their life, you don't lead their life.
If they want to worship Kanye West, you should encourage them.
Just gets one more person out of your way on the way up.
Uh let's see.
One more I gotta go, but I'll take a take a quick break here, but let me get one call before that.
Alan in uh in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Hello and welcome.
Hi, Rush.
Alan here from Fayetteville, home of the uh Arkansas Razorbacks and some of the most god-awful liberal feminists in the world.
That's every campus.
It's uh nothing special there.
Hey, my question for you, my friend, is uh you're articulating this feminist thing perfectly.
Men everywhere understand this, how the culture has changed against us.
But the question is, who are the women who still really understand the traditional roles of men and women and how good men ought to be.
Uh I mean, Ann Coulter, maybe, maybe Michelle Malkin.
Who are who are some of those women?
Tell us men so that we can follow them.
All right, yeah, it's a good project for me.
Uh uh I can't well not have enough time to run through the list.
You want publicly known women, or do you want a description of the kind of woman that equals a real woman?
I think it's a both and deal, Rush.
Uh the kind of woman, and then specifically, who are those women in the public eye who are speaking uh you know that's a good thing.
Okay, well, I can handle I can handle that, but the only problem is there are a whole lot more real women out there than just women that are publicly known that have some fame.
Uh and that's why it'll be important to sketch the profile of uh a real woman.
I will consult with Dawn on this before tomorrow's show, and we'll we'll get we'll get started on answering it because it's a it's a key question for kids in college, and uh because there's a lot of confusion out there.
Women want you to be one thing, you think you gotta be something else to please women based on this, and nobody's being who they are.
We'll change that.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Okay, somebody make a note.
Speaking of Denver Broncos jerseys, remind me to tell you a little story of what happened between me and a couple babes on the golf course at the Bob Hope Tournament who were both wearing Denver Broncos jerseys when I was coming off one greed and heading to the next T box.
Don't have time, tell it now, folks, because here comes the ear splitting tone, meaning we're out of here.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
