Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Man, what a day we have today, folks.
I mean, it's just rocking and rolling out another holy cow day with all of the news that is just percolating and waiting to be discussed and analyzed by me.
You may have heard what's going on, but until you've heard what's going on from me, you don't know Jack.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies on the Air to shrieks and cries of the joy from millions of Americans.
America's real anchor man behind the golden EIB microphone.
And remember, little programming note.
Popular demand.
Audience been demanding it out there.
Subscribers at Rushlinbaugh.com, which just means this.
We continue the program when it's over.
The broadcast program will end in a mere seconds later, the fourth hour will begin for web subscribers only.
It's only on the internet at Rushlinbaugh.com.
And the uh uh uh fourth hour just means we extend it.
It goes ten minutes, five minutes, twenty-five, thirty-five, never know.
Uh no commercial breaks in the fourth hour, so everything is a bonus.
Uh John Kerry, the bit has a as is well, Bill has a story today in the uh in the new Washington examiner.
Meet the next president carry's second shot.
The uh deadline, Keene New Hampshire moments before Senator John F. Kerry shows up to campaign for a local politician at a backyard rally, voter Sue Borden wrinkles her nose at the mention of the man who lost to President Bush.
You get one chance, a Democrat tells a reporter.
If you can't win, then it's time to let somebody else try.
But less than an hour later, after she meets Kerry and listens to him deliver an impassioned speech from a wooden deck, she softens and says that she would consider voting for the Massachusetts Democrat.
It's going to be this is gonna be a hoot.
We're gonna have Al Gore in this race, we're gonna have John Kerry, we're gonna have uh we're gonna have Biden, we're gonna have a Hillary in this race, they're all gonna be racing to see who can condemn Walmart the fastest.
But the quote in this story that I just love is John Kerry saying this.
I'm prepared to kick their ass from one end of America to the other.
It's talking about the Swift boat guys.
I'm so confident my ability is to address that or to demolish it and even further it into a positive.
Carrie's tough talk triggered uh laughter from John O'Neill.
Uh, who member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Drew So Carrot is going to kick their ass from one end of America to the other if they bring it up again.
From the Seattle Post, uh I'm sorry, Seattle Times today.
Uh, you know, the Democrats uh have to change their their campaign strategy daily now, based on the news.
One of the things you may not remember this, but I think it was Dingy Harry or some other Democrat talking to the press.
He said we we really don't want to be specific and nail down our ideas because we want to have the flexibility to be able to change given the times.
And and that's obviously true, and that's obviously representative of the fact they've got Zilch Core values out there.
Um The Seattle Times is reporting today that the recent sharp drop in global prices of crude oil could mark the start of a massive massive sell-off that returns gasoline prices to lows not seen since the late 90s, perhaps as low as a dollar fifteen a gallon.
All the hurricane flags are flying in oil markets, said Philip Verliger, a noted energy consultant who was alone voice several years ago when warning that oil prices would soar.
Now he says they appear to be poised for a dramatic plunge.
Talked about this yesterday.
Democrats hope to run on the economy.
There is uh there's all kinds of polling data out there now.
Uh the American people prefer Republicans, 48, 41 overall in the in congressional races.
The Democrats are trotting out this poll that says the uh American voter.
Actually, I don't know if it's voters or just the American people.
It it matters.
Likely voters, registered voters, or just the population at large, it matters.
Who's in the sample?
Um, but they're trotting out this poll that says 40% of Americans prefer Democrats on the economy.
While only 28% uh prefer Republicans.
Well, if that's true, just let these gasoline prices continue to plummet.
There's also great economic news out there in the sense that 54% of the American people think their lifestyle's cooking and it's hot, and they also think that about their friends, which is a market shift.
So I just throw this stuff out there, keep a sharp eye on it all because it's it it I was talking to snerdly yesterday when we were leaving the broadcast complex in the secret underground tunnel.
He said, you know, these Democrats, they've opened a door right into their nose again.
And they have, folks.
They just, every time they get all revved up about something, whatever the issue is, they just they launch everything they've got on it, and within a day it comes back to uh to bite them uh in the you know where.
Mahmood Mahmoud Ahmadini says that Iran is better prepared to lead the world.
Uh this is uh an Israeli uh website.
Uh Mahmoud Ahmadinijad says that uh the nuclear issue is resolvable by dialogue, and his country's nuclear standoff can be solved through dialogue uh while while calling for uh uh uh patience here.
And all they want to do is enrich uranium to power their electricity in the uh in the country is Iran's better prepared to lead the world.
Also, from the uh UK's Daily Mail, men are more intelligent than women claims a new study.
Uh it's by C this website prints out in the weirdest way.
Uh you never know where the story starts.
It is research that is guaranteed to delight men and infuriate the women in their lives.
A controversial news study has claimed that men really are more intelligent than women.
The study carried out by a man, of course, concluded that men's IQs are almost four points higher than women's on average.
British born researcher John Philippe Rushton, uh, who previously created a furor by suggesting intelligence is influenced by race, says the finding could explain why so few women make it to the top in the workplace.
Or that they when they get to the top, they start spying on board members and Congress investigates like out at Hewlett Packard.
Now, you know, I was prepared to debunk this until I saw Jane Fonda this morning.
Jane Fonda was being interviewed by Rita Cosby on PMSNBC about the new women's talk radio network.
By the way, we have the stations uh that that network will appear on.
They've got four stations.
W N A G, W C R Y, W F E M, and W PMS.
They're working on a fifth affiliate, uh uh WBIch.
Uh but uh having FCC approval on those call letters.
Uh, because it's too long.
You're allowed three or four, and they can't figure out how to put WBI itch into into four call letters.
Actually, three after the W. Uh.
But nevertheless, uh uh Rita Cosby's talking about uh male talk show host and just asks her specifically.
We've got the audio of this coming up.
Cookie's working on it now.
What do you think of Rush Limbo?
And she just she got this sour look on her face, and she turned away from the camera and just was so pained.
Oh toxic.
Toxic.
Are you kidding?
I just I worry about the future of my country.
I worry about my children and my grandchildren.
This from the woman who sat atop a tank over in North Vietnam, Hanoi Jane Fonda worried about the future of the country because of me.
You know what the smart answer would and by folks, this is not ego speak.
You know what the smart answer would be?
Here are these babes trying to start a talk radio network, right?
She get a question about me or anybody else.
I, you know, the it's amazing the success that they've had, and and we hope to duplicate it.
Just something like that and be done with it.
Uh oh no, no, no, women aren't listening to talk radio.
Oh, why women hate talk radio?
Why women don't like combativeness, they don't like argumentation?
Really?
Uh they they don't they don't like conflict, they don't like confrontation.
Women are more nuanced than men, they don't like black and white all the time.
It's got more gray areas out there.
Uh really her opinion of women was demeaning.
Women don't care about the fate of the country uh so much, and that you women don't that listen to and and you supposedly are leaving in droves, uh, makes it sound like conservative talk radio is on its last legs and they're gonna be there to pick up the uh the pieces.
Anyway, until I heard her uh with this goofball answer, I was I was prepared to give some uh I mean I was prepared to to lampoon this study on men being smarter than women, but I mean, how do you explain that?
Finally, before we go to the break, this is utterly disgraceful, ladies and gentlemen.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has voiced his strong opposition to a plan by George W. Bush to change the way the war on terror suspects are interrogated and tried.
Powell sent a letter to John McCain condemning the Bush plan to relax standards for treatment of terror suspects, which would allow tougher questioning of detainees while protecting U.S. interrogators from being prosecuted for war crimes.
Powell in his letter said, I don't support such a step.
And I believe it would be inconsistent with the McCain amendment on torture, which I supported last year.
McCain, by the way, made Powell's letter public today.
The president visited Capitol Hill today to try to persuade Republican lawmakers to back his proposal as usual.
It is Republicans standing in the way of this.
But this is utterly disgraceful for for former Secretary Powell.
There's there's obviously bad blood, and I can't help but think that one of the reasons for this is to provide a little cover for the Armitage scandal, which has really now blown open with Robert Novak's column today.
Details coming up on that.
But uh he is it basically Novak is saying what most everything Armitage is saying here about our meeting is just not right.
And he's got a lot of explaining.
By the way, Valerie Playm has included Armitage in her lawsuit, but not as part of a government conspiracy, just for violating her privacy.
These people can't they can't keep their names out of the news.
They can't go day without their names about being in the news.
They can't go a day without their pictures being in the news.
They're caught up in it all.
The controversy that that uh Powell is referring to, or that we're referring to in mentioning Powell's letter is this.
Senate Republicans appear hopelessly deadlocked over President Bush's proposal for handling terrorism suspects at Club Gitmo.
Three Republicans, Senators John Warner of Virginia, John McCain of Arizona, Vice President Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, remain holed up with Democrats who are adamant that the prisoners be given broader civil rights than are included in the administration's proposed bill.
Most Senate Republicans support the administration's view that the requested changes could you know the thing about this that infuriates me is the attitude that Powell puts forth in his letter and that McCain and Warner and Graham put for oh the poor terrorists.
Oh, these poor terrorists, we're being so mistreated by our interrogators at Club Gitmo.
Oh, these poor ter poor terrorists.
Who in the world has such a perverted view of the enemy?
Our poor terrorists so badly mistreated.
It's it's a world upside down.
We haven't been attacked in five years.
Obviously, we're doing something right.
We got some people trying to undermine it.
For who knows whatever cockamami reason.
Now this, but I want to say something about this debate between uh Warner and McCain and Lindsay and the uh and the well, Lindsey Graham and the and the president.
Because it is sickening and it is disgusting, but it does make a point.
And I don't I'm not saying you should be satisfied by this, but it's it's interesting to see that all of the competing ideas are Republican ideas.
Uh, you might want to say that that uh uh Graham and McCain, Warner are actually agreeing with Democrats here, and you would probably have a point.
But the left has made itself irrelevant here.
The two sides on this debate are no longer left and right.
They're Republicans in the House and Republicans in the Senate.
Republicans have as much problem agreeing with themselves as they do agreeing with the left.
The left has made itself irrelevant.
All they do is ape each other and focus group after focus group after focus group idea.
Um and all they're trying to do is be negative and critical of uh of Republicans and so forth and the country.
Uh it's uh it's it's hardly a comforting thought, but it's just a little observation.
But I just poor terrorists.
Oh, these poor terrorists, these people that behead blow up innocent people.
Uh I I the the defenders they have in our country continue to perplex me.
Uh will be and I'm not sure their their support is actually intellectually oriented or whether it's just uh trying to provide problems for George W. Bush in an election season, who knows?
But I just it's it's maddening, folks.
It's just literally literally frustrating.
I mean, I can understand if Jim Moran would say stuff like this.
Back in just a second.
Don't go away.
You know what the name of this bumper tune is Stupid Girls.
Way to go there, Ed.
Way to be on top of things.
All right, Michelle in Albany.
We'll uh take a quick phone call from you as we get going here today in the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Um, I just gotta let you know that Hanoi Jane does not speak for me and is just another left-wing kook elite who's out of touch with the mainstream.
Um the reason.
Isn't it amazing?
Isn't it amazing how uh these women come along, these le liberal women, and they've always done this trying to speak for all women.
The nags.
The nags tried to speak for all women.
Now Jane Fonda's speaking for all women.
Uh except when Paula Jones or somebody that comes along, then they reject them because they're too bourgeois.
Oh too lower class, too middle class.
That's why the Libs hate Walmart, by the way, is because the middle class loves it.
Well, I just want you to know that I'm a rabid female dittohead, stay-at-home mom.
I change diapers to the sound of your lovely voice in the background.
Well.
And I live for a lively debate and welcome the opportunity to conflict with uh those delusional pacifists of this country.
I'll tell you what, did you hear what Jane Fonda said?
Uh I know, I just from what you've said, uh, well, let's I've got the audio now.
You you want to we got two sound bites.
You want to listen to them with me?
Absolutely.
And then you can offer cutting edge analysis as a woman.
Because she's speaking for you here.
Okay.
On all of this.
Uh Rita Cosby says, What do you specifically think about Rush Limbaugh?
You gotta be kidding.
They make me feel um worried about the future for my grandchildren.
This is not these are not voices that I want to invite into my brain.
I feel like they're toxic to myself, to my soul, and to other people's soul.
Life shouldn't be like that.
We women want thought provoking, friendly, trustworthy, funny, they want to laugh, informative talk radio.
And seventy-five percent of them, and we did a lot of research, said they would come back to women's talk radio if they could hear what they want to hear.
And we hope to provide it for them.
We know what they want, we think we can give it to them.
All right.
What do you think of that?
Uh Rush, she's nuts.
She's completely insane.
Um I want to talk about real issues, um, seriously, and I the reason I want to do that is to protect my children.
Um we you know, this country is just not going to be the same if we continue to uh appease the terrorists, appease the governments that support them.
Um and I want to do something about it in my little small way with my four-year-old and my one-year-old.
That sounds great.
Let's now talk about me.
Um, she said that we women want thought provoking.
Is this program thought provoking to you?
I it keeps my mind so sharp.
I I can't even tell you.
The fact that I, you know, rarely get out to um talk with adults.
It's it's hard for me to do so with little kids.
Um I I do it to keep my mind sharp.
You just be thinking and and talking about you know, real world issues.
Okay, she said that we women want friendly.
This program friendly to you.
It's friendly to me because it w because you want me to live.
You want the this country to survive.
That to me that's friendly.
All right, and uh trustworthy.
You you consider this program trustworthy.
I mean, when you when you listen to this program, do you you feel you're being told the truth about things uh and a host is dealing with you uh in honesty.
Absolutely.
I feel like um you look at all the issues, you have good researchers behind you, I'm sure, that give you the the news of the day, and you give a thought-provoking, realistic view of those the issues.
That's a great answer, except for the fact that uh don't have researchers now.
Oh, okay.
Do you think the program's funny?
Uh and and uh uh you laugh when you listen.
All the time.
Uh very irreverent, very um dry sense of humor.
All right, so here we're for me.
you have just disagreed with everything Madame Fonda has said.
And she is speaking for you.
She she's just she's out there, she's delusional.
Um I think that the fact that uh what she did during the Vietnam War completely discredits her, besides the fact that she's a Hollywood elite.
They're they're they're just out there completely out of touch.
It continues.
But Michelle, thank you very much.
I I appreciate that.
You're very kind.
I i it continues to amaze me.
Radio is so horrible, it's so mean, it's so rot.
We can't wait to get in it.
Radio is so mean spirited, it's toxic radio is we can't wait to get on the radio.
All of these libs are convinced, and I wonder why, that the only way to really change opinion and move public opinion in this country is via the radio today.
I wonder why.
Anybody have a guess?
Gonna have a good time.
Making the complex understandable Rush Schlimbaugh, living legend, harmless, lovable.
Little Fuzzball, 800-282-2882.
Here's the next Jane Fonda by it, PMS NBC this morning with Rita Cosby the question Look, uh Jane, folks like Rush and others are widely successful.
You know, they represent maybe 30% of the American public.
But and a third of those listeners are women of conservative talk.
Were you surprised at that number?
I I didn't know that a third of the third of today's.
That's a really tiny amount.
Because not, you know, there's women used to be a big portion of radio talk show listeners, and they're not anymore.
I'll get to that in just a second.
Uh Fonda says, you know, they represent maybe 30% of the American public.
If Jane, if that's the case.
You know, these people are in denial.
I I i they're they're they have no chance of success.
They don't even understand the business they're going into, and they're not even going to be honest with themselves about why they're doing it.
If we only affected 30% of the American public, we wouldn't be a problem, wouldn't be a threat.
They wouldn't have to come up with all these efforts to counter us and defeat us, and they would have to come up with their own feminist radio network.
For only 30%, we wouldn't matter.
And then Cosby says, Well, a third of that audience is women.
I I I I didn't know.
And then Fonda says, well, you know, women used to be a big portion of radio talk show listeners, and they're not anymore.
Now this is going to be really ironic.
Because I am an expert in this business, maybe nothing else, but I am an expert in this business, and she isn't.
And if you want to know when the greatest percentage of women listen to talk radio, Mr. Sturdley, you a student of this business.
What were the shows?
What types of shows were they that attracted the largest numbers of women to talk radio?
In the past, in the in the past, I'll give you a name.
Bill Balance had a talk show in LA that did nothing but have women call in and discuss their sex lives in great detail.
Uh it was it went through the roof.
Um the other shows that did well were shrinks.
Psychiatrists, psychologist where people could call in uh and and whine and moan about their problems.
Until this show came along when women were treated with respect.
This program, I, your host, do not look at the audience as men and women.
I look at you as Americans, and I look at you as all interested in caring in the future of the country in substantive ways because of your children and your grandchildren and your own lives as well.
I view you I have I have the utmost respect for you people and your intelligence.
Otherwise I wouldn't do the highbrow show that we do here.
And never once do I sit down and say, you know, I can't discuss that.
The women in the audience won't like it, or the women in the audience won't understand it.
I mean, I look, you know, I have adolescent stereotypical male humor at times.
I'm a man, I'm a boy, I'm a guy, yippee.
But this audience, you people are treated with the utmost respect in terms of your intelligence and your knowledge, and this program, according to the Pew Research Center, indicates that you are the most knowledgeable audience in All of broadcast media, including television, and that does that deals in news and and and uh uh cultural political issues.
And I would be a fool to look at it otherwise.
Now, if Jane Fonda is really serious, and these babes are really serious about about going out and attracting more women than ever, uh, and if they look at history, you know what they what's what's the most important well can't say it that way.
Let me give you a little anecdotal evidence.
There are women in this audience who send me things all the time in terms of ideas.
They send me articles in their local paper, they send me things they see on the internet, and it is amazing.
And men do this too.
Men do this too.
I never ever get a story sent to me by a male that has anything to do with male-female relationships or babies or any at the closest it would get is education.
But there are women who send me nothing but that.
Now, clearly, there are differences between men and women.
Time magazine discovered this uh in the last uh last decade.
And relationships are very important things to women.
Can you imagine if they really want to go out and attract women who are not interested in the kind of things we discuss here?
What are they gonna have to do to do it?
They're gonna have to go out and talk about all the things as feminists they attempted to impugn and uh and rebuke.
Relationships should not define a woman.
Happiness in a relationship should not be the sole thing.
In fact, a woman who engages in that and has that as her primary desire in life is letting down the sisterhood.
You remember the early days of the of the feminist movement.
These people don't even know the business that they are getting into, and they don't even know the first thing about success, which is having respect for the audience, and trying to connect to it on a daily basis.
But they're libs.
And the reason that they have this attitude is they look out across the country and they see idiocy.
You know, I have said for the longest time that liberalism is nothing but arrogant condescension.
A bunch of elitists who think they're better than everybody else looking down on everybody else through their snooty noses and feeling very condescending to people.
Uh George Will uses the term today in a uh column he writes about Walmart, and it's a great column.
And he's done a lot of research, and he he nails why liberals hate Walmart.
And it's not unions.
I mean, the unions are part of the money reason they're trying to influence Democrats with their contributions.
But he said, even without the unions, liberals would hate Walmart because they look at Walmart and Walmart customers with condescension.
And they look at them with condescension because these people that go to Walmart and work at Walmart are actually the people liberals think can't do anything on their own and need liberals to guide them through life, making proper judgments, having enough money to live and so forth.
And when these people uh actively happily engage in middle class pursuits and middle class activities, the arrogant condescension of liberals prevents them from embracing them because they don't want to be known as Walmart people.
Liberals don't want to have to go to cocktail parties and say, Yeah, I saw you at Walmart there.
When you last time John Kerry was in a Walmart, do you think?
Or Teresa, or Joe Biden.
When was the last time they were in there?
They wouldn't be caught dead in there, except maybe in a campaign, uh trying to point fingers at them for not hiring good union people and so forth.
But they look at Walmart shoppers and go, oh my god, I can't be associated with these people.
What do people think of me?
They look at the middle class.
I've been trying to tell you for 18 years the way liberals look at people.
They look at average people as helpless, dependent, they want them that way.
That's how they derive their power.
And when middle class people show they don't need liberals, well, guess who their biggest enemies become?
Liberals.
And so they're trying to shut out Walmart, trying to harm it, as you people, you people that go to Walmart, and you bourgeois middle class, ungrateful types are shunning these great liberals in exchange for taking care of yourself, and that is a crime against liberalism.
And so these pursuits of yours must be dealt with.
Well, Jane Fonda, Rosie O'Donnell, and whoever the hell else is in Gloria Steinup, same way, bunch of elitist liberals with condescension and arrogance.
I will guarantee you that the women who do like conservative talk radio will be demonized, maybe portrayed as brainwashed, or what have you.
It's it's clear as clear as day.
What was one of the big issues of the nineties?
Sexual harassment.
All office uh VPs, presidents, executives, males, predators.
They have power.
And they are subjugating their female assistants and subordinates.
And making them provide sex for promotions and so forth and so on.
And then along comes a woman, says, okay, this is happening to me.
Your name is Paula Jones, and I was sexually harassed by Bill Clinton.
And who turned on her first?
The Nags.
The feminazis.
The women who who who who built their whole existence and their and their uh uh uh reputations on the notion of protecting women against this kind of boorish predatory behavior.
But see, Paula Jones gave him a problem because she was from Arkansas.
That's bad enough.
Then she came from a trailer park.
Can't can't cannot possibly embrace Paula.
Why what what what would Molly Yard think of us from the grave?
Uh uh what would Betty Ferdinand embracing trailer park trash and a sexual harassment, plus Bill Clinton's our guy.
He can sexually harass anybody.
And we won't say a word about it.
It's not about the issue that liberals bring up.
It's always about something else.
And in this case, it's class.
Paula Jones just wasn't of the right class.
Walmart shoppers are not of the right class, they bourgeois.
They are they are middle class, uh dirty.
Uh we just can't be seen associating with these people.
We can't the only way that liberals will embrace the middle class is when they're on food stamps or some other liberal created dependency program and voting democrat, and being good, obedient middle class slaves.
And other than that, liberals want nothing to do with it.
So here comes Miss Fonda and her cohorts trying to set up this network based on wrong assumptions, lack of understanding of how the business operates, and not even correct uh research on why talk radio is successful.
Besides this, these are the people that say we should all get along.
We have too much arguing in this country, too much partisanship.
And what are they doing?
They're only going after women.
They don't care about you men, and I know you wouldn't listen to it anyway, so they're smart in that regard, but still, who is it that's being divisive?
Does this program say women you're not allowed?
We're gonna do things with this program to offend you so you don't listen because we don't want you here.
Does this program do that?
No.
Are they gonna do that?
Liberals don't stand a chance in mass marketing, folks.
I don't care what the business, be it talk radio, even having trouble in Hollywood now.
They don't stand a chance.
Look at every business that they demonize, a successful American business.
They don't stand a chance because they can't mass market.
They can't make themselves appeal to a cross-section of Americans like Christians or any other group that you want to say exists in the mass.
They can't because they have resentment for so many of them.
They have resentment for Christians, resentment for Walmart shoppers, resentment for the middle class, resentment and arrogance and condescension toward all kinds of people.
It's impossible.
It is structurally institutionally impossible for them to mass market, including political ideas.
Why do you think they don't tell us what they really believe?
Because they know they don't dare.
Because what they really believe is cutting and critical and condescending toward the people they're trying to s to to to uh trick into uh into voting for them.
All right, I got a little long here.
A quick timeout, we'll be back and continue right after this.
Fox News reporting that uh President Bush approval numbers are up significantly.
I don't know what poll that is.
Do you know what poll that is, sternly?
Rasmussen, I said Rasmussen saying that the Bush approval numbers at 47%.
Uh we'll dig that up.
I just Fox is reporting it now, the kind of conversation going.
I'm just reading the uh graphic Chiron at the uh at the bottom of the page.
Mary L in Tampa, Florida.
I'm glad you call.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, Rush uh Rush Baby Ditto.
Last time I talked to you was thirteen years ago, and I'm 24 right now.
Twenty-four?
So wow, so you were uh you were eleven.
Yes.
When you first talked, what did we talk about when you were 11 years old?
I think I Luke Gilrich was on MTV, and they just disrespected him, and I was enraged about it because I love music.
At 11 years old.
Yeah.
God, God love you, Mary L. You uh you you didn't grow out of it.
That's that's tremendous.
Uh well, welcome back.
Thank you.
I just I was just so upset about Jane Fonda's comments, and I was absolutely amazed that she wants to start a radio network and it has zero idea that you look at the most popular talk show on radio.
That just floors me as a businesswoman that she wouldn't even have a quote.
Uh well, there's the arrogance and condescension that I that I'm talking about.
Uh the last thing they would do is model themselves after me.
There are two sides to all of this too, by the way.
There's the programming side, which is what you hear.
There's the business side, and that's what all these liberals are missing.
I d uh I the fact that it's a business and they don't have a business plan or business model.
They just think they're gonna go on the air and attract all these people.
It's it's no different than Democrats.
Democrats honestly believe that half the country or more hates George Bush and can't wait to get to the polls and and express the same hatred for Bush that they have.
Uh it's it there there really isn't a better word or phrase to describe these people than arrogant condescension.
The people who are succeeding all around them, uh, like Bush, take anybody who's succeeding.
We're liberals are failing.
And what's a liberal attitude?
Liberal attitude is hmm, we should study this.
It's not that.
Liberal attitude is they're cheating, or they're they're poisoning people's minds, or they're they're they're brainwashing people, or or and they're projecting.
That's what they think they have to do to win.
Uh it's it's fascinating to watch this.
There and and you know, watch i if if the Rasmussen poll gets widely reported, if the number is 47%, I mean the early stages of a crack up uh will be visible very, very, very soon because a news template that they're unable to control.
Mario, thanks again for the call.
Julie in Boise, Idaho.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
Good.
I um I just called, I was listening to uh the comment by Jane Fond and with was quite well I I I think I have their problem all figured out.
Their whole thing is she started off with I feel.
And the rest of us don't always act on what we feel.
The I I think the conservative population acts on what is right, not on what they feel.
And that's kind of where the whole Hollywood liberal uh line comes out.
They do what feels good to them, not necessarily what's right.
Very astute of you.
Uh uh liberals are governed by their feelings, uh what they think others are going to think of them.
Um and their feelings is how they make themselves feel good.
Um they say things to make themselves feel good.
Uh we think about things.
And that's what helps us come to uh what are hopefully correct conclusions.
Well, and I have to tell you, uh as I tell everybody, because they're just amazed that I actually listen to Rush Limbaugh, a woman that listens to Rush Limbaugh.
But as I'm driving along listening to you, I am just laughing my head off about half the time.
I mean, someone driving by must think I'm crazy, but I find you quite entertaining.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well these people that are amazed that you listen to this program, have they ever listened to this program?
Well, no, no, no, no, no.
They they haven't.
And when I ask them, they just kind of shake their head.
Um, you know, and it's usually a bunch of women, and I'll say what's the one.
Well, you know what?
You ought to tell them this.
You know, you're questioning my intelligence, but I actually listened to it.
You never have, and you think you know what's what it's all about.
I'd turn it, I'd turn this whole intelligence thing right back on them.
Oh, I I do turn it on them.
I say, so what don't you like about his show?
Well, I don't know.
I haven't listened to it.
Well, then how how in the world can you judge it?
So I do.
I and I enjoy every minute of it.
Well, I appreciate I appreciate that.
I thank look, Julie, thanks uh so much for the call.
Appreciate it.
Let's do we have uh I you know what?
I don't have enough time to take a call because of the calls we have on the uh uh uh board here all have nothing to do with Fonda and a women's talk radio, which is good.
We have uh we have exhausted this.
Uh we've put this one to bed.
Um The women's talk.
We have then what else can I say about it?
Uh this is the thing.
We thoroughly discuss things on this program, and I've told you why and who they are, and uh it it it it's nothing else to say.
We have put the Women's Talk Network to bed.
Absolutely right.
By the way, Mr. Snerdley had a great idea just a moment ago during the commercial break.
Uh not an he said he's they've added a new station to they've got five stations now to their lineup, in addition to WNAG, WCRY, WFEM, and WPMS.
Uh Snerdley says they've added W D Y K. President Bush is also up uh in the Wall Street Journal NBC poll on presidential approval.
