Time Text
The views expressed by me, the host on this program, are the only views you need.
It's Friday, and let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday!
Thank you.
Okay, folks, open line Friday.
Here are the rules.
The rules are actually very simple.
Monday through Thursday, we only talk about things I care about, but on Friday we open it up.
We go to the phones.
The program is yours.
You can whine, you can moan, you can complain, you can compliment, you can praise, you can ask about practically anything.
It's a golden opportunity for you people.
Take advantage of it.
One of the reasons we look forward to Open Line Friday, here's the number, 800-282-2882, and the email address is rush at EIBNetNot.com.
One more thing about this Barbara Boxer thing with uh with Condoleezza Rice.
Now let's let's go back to the early dawn, shall we say, of the modern era of the movement of feminizes.
And I traced the beginning, the dawn of this modern era to the late 60s and early 70s.
And of course, the tenets that were present in feminism then were you are not to orient your life around your relationship.
You're not to have your relationship or a man be the central focus of your life and the primary reason for your happiness.
You are not to become imprisoned in the home.
Motherhood is subjugation.
Motherhood is oppression.
You are not to do that.
You are to get on the career track.
You are to start climbing the corporate ladder.
You are to be more like men.
Oh, they didn't say it that way, but that's what that's what they were advocating.
Somehow men owned the world, women were being shut out, and they had to get in and take over as much as they could of the male-dominated parts of society in order to realize their potential.
A woman who stayed home, a woman who chose motherhood was letting down the rest of her sisters.
Well, now, part and parcel of that mix is don't have kids.
All right.
Well, there are a lot of women in their early 40s, late 30s, who followed that prescription, and they are miserable.
Because biology is biology.
Men and women, of course, are different.
That is news to a lot of people, but nevertheless true, and it always has been true.
So you have a lot of women out there who followed that advice, and uh that they thought that was the route to emancipation, happiness, fulfillment.
Uh personally, socially, politically, you name it.
But something happens when they don't end up having children.
All of a sudden now, to take us back to Barbara Boxer insulting Condoleza Rice, and there are two things involved here.
Number one, she's trying to disqualify and discredit Condoleezza Rice.
Liberals cannot win against us in debates.
They seek to disqualify us.
The second thing going on here is that she is this is it's a it's a it's a disguised attempt at squelching speech.
Dr. Rice, you don't have children.
You are paying no price.
Your decisions about this war and as Secretary of State, I don't want to hear.
I don't want to have to put up with, I don't think you are in that position.
She didn't want let Barbara bar Barbara Boxer did not want to let Condoleezza Rice have a say about anything, and if she did, she was going to try to disqualify it.
So it's an attack, disguised though it may be on free speech.
But when you strip all that away, what happened to the early tenants of feminism, ladies and gentlemen?
Condoleza Rice ought to be the role model.
For people like Barbara Boxer, she should be held out as exactly what the feminist movement was demanding every woman be.
She is she has reached the pinnacle of her success.
She has reached the pinnacle of her life.
She has climbed heights and assumed heights.
Most women never will, and here she's being berated for it.
She's being beaten up for it, and she's being told that she's not qualified because she doesn't have kids Because she's not paying a personal price.
So, in other words, one of the proponents of the dawn of the early era of feminism is now throwing out one of the basic tenets.
And that is, you've got to have kids or you don't count.
Now I ask you ladies who have uh followed the proscriptions of feminism.
Are you confused yet?
Is any of this confusing you?
I mean, you followed all these rules and you followed all this advice, and now the people that gave you the advice are turning around and telling you that, hey, wait a minute.
You followed our rules.
You're not really a complete woman.
You don't have kids.
You're disqualified from serving in government.
You're disqualified for making decisions that affect other people because you don't have kids.
When all along, feminists, young women in the late 60s and 70s bought into this, thought that was the what they were supposed to do.
Now they've reached this age, and I guarantee a lot of them regret it.
And you can see it also in other areas, women in their mid-30s, early 30s who have been on the corporate fast track, climbing that ladder out there, trying to bust the glass ceiling or whatever it is.
Biological time bomb, you know, as a tick-tock tick-tock, and they they they have a baby or two.
And they are insistent when they have the I'll be back.
I'll have the nanny or daycare take care of the case.
I'll be back.
And you know, more and more of them are staying home because they you know what?
They want to be with their baby.
Imagine.
And they enjoy it.
And it's happening more and more and more.
Uh feminists have to be thrown for a loop here.
They've had wild success in changing the culture.
They have what they've had wild success in uh, you know, feminizing many elements of our culture today, but if you just look at the basic tenets of what they were teaching, most of those have fallen apart.
Uh, and there is the it just exhibited profoundly and was on wild public display with Barbara Boxer and uh and Condoleezza Rice.
We had a call last hour from a uh woman who described herself as an Amazon.
Well, she was a Northport, Florida, right?
And she was uh going on and on and on about um or was it the 18-year-old uh liberal I can one of the two, I can't remember not really sure which said she was fed up with the men calling this show and the Amazon and how wussy the men sounded uh and and how complaining and whining and moaning that they sounded, and she couldn't understand what they were upset about living in this country.
I uh was doing some show prep last night after I got home from dinner and I was checking the email at the Rush Comments box of the 24-7 members.
Somebody sent me an email and says I didn't write this, but I admire the person who did.
Sounds like he's a student of EIB and Professor Rush.
Now it's a long letter.
I'm gonna take a break.
I'm gonna read you excerpts of this when we come back.
Does sound like it's right off of this program.
I it it could have been written by somebody.
I have no idea who wrote it.
That's the only risk.
Uh when people send me things that they have read, if they don't send the author, this could be somebody famous who wrote this, and I've just missed it.
Uh, but it doesn't matter.
Some of this stuff is really, really good, and uh a lot of people in this country need to hear it.
Excerpts of that, other exciting news, and your phone calls coming right up as open line Friday rolls on.
Get this, and welcome back, folks.
Nice to have you here on the nation's most listened to radio talk show, the El Rushable program here on the EIB network.
This from Durham, North Carolina.
That's how you pronounce it by the way, Durm.
Those who live there and in the neighborhood's Durm.
The sophisticated pronounce it Durham with Durm.
A Duke University English professor has resigned from her committee assignments over the scruels decision to invite two lacrosse players accused of sexual assault back to campus.
Former Dean, Carla Holloway calls the decision, quote, a clear use of corporate power and a breach, I think, of ethical citizenship.
What in tarnation is ethical citizenship.
So this is really brave.
This is courageous.
This is feminine womanhood as it's meant to be.
Brave and courageous.
You're going to let the students back.
I quit.
I'm resigning my committee.
Hoping to harm the university, no doubt, to show some sign of protest.
This school, and the more I read about the female professors at Durham.
The more I I just feel sorry for the parents in this country that are spending 40 grand a year to send their kids to this institution, which sounds like the faculty needs to be administered by the people that wear the little white coats.
All right, here is this um letter.
And it's a reaction to a story in Newsweek.
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67% of Americans are unhappy with the direction a country's headed.
Sixty-nine percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the president.
In essence, two thirds of the citizenry just ain't happy and they want a change.
So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, what are we so unhappy about?
Is it that we have electricity and running water twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week?
Is our happiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter?
Could it be that ninety-five point four percent of these unhappy people have a job?
Maybe it's the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food and moments than Darfer has seen in the last year.
Maybe it's the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state, or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter.
I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough.
Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all everybody involved?
Whether you're rich or poor, they treat your wounds and even if necessary, send a helicopter to take you to hospital.
Perhaps you're one of the 70% of Americans who owns a home.
You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of having a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to put it out, saving you and your family and your belongings.
Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bulletproof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents, neighborhoods where 90% of the teenagers own cell phones and computers.
How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everybody in the world?
Maybe that's what has sixty-seven percent of you people unhappy.
Fact is we are the largest group of ungrateful spoiled brats the world has ever seen.
No wonder the world loves the U.S. yet has a great disdain for its citizens.
They see us for what we are, the most blessed people on earth, who do nothing but complain about what we don't have and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know.
What about the president who took us into war?
Has no plan to get us out.
Uh president who has a measly 31% approval rating.
Is this same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9 11?
The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession.
Could this be the same guy who's been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled brats safe?
From terrorist attacks, the commander in chief of an all volunteer army that is out there defending you and me.
Make no mistake about it.
The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve.
And in many cases, have died for your freedom.
There's currently no draft in this country.
They didn't have to go.
They're able to refuse to go and end up with either a general discharge or other than honorable discharge, or worst case scenario, a dishonorable discharge a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat out discontentment in the minds of sixty-nine percent of Americans?
Say what you want, but I blame it on the media.
If it bleeds it leads, and they specialize in bad news.
Everybody'll watch car crash with blood and guts.
But how many will watch kids selling lemonade on the corner?
The media knows this.
Media outlets are for profit corporations.
They offer what sells.
Just ask why they're going to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book and do a TV special about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did, how he would have.
It's insane.
Stop buying the negative venom you were fed every day by the media.
Shut off the TV, burn newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your birdcage.
Then start being grateful for all we have as a country.
There is exponentially more good than bad.
And I might add that every day is better than the day before in many respects.
Whoever wrote this then says I close with one of my favorite quotes from B.C. Forbes in 1953.
What have Americans to be thankful for more than any other people on the earth?
We enjoy complete religious freedom, freedom, political freedom, social freedom.
Our liberties are sacredly safeguarded by the Constitution.
The most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.
Yes, we Americans of today have been bequeathed a noble heritage.
Let us pray that we may hand it down unsullied to our children and theirs.
If we don't, what we do have will be taken away.
And then we'll have to explain to future generations why we squandered such blessing in abundance.
If we're not careful, this generation will be known as the greediest and most ungrateful generation.
That's a far cry from the proud Americans of the greatest generation who left us an untarnished legacy.
Well, not totally untarnished, but I'm not going to quibble now about that.
Bottom line is I don't know who wrote this.
It was emailed to me by a subscriber at Rushlimbaugh.com.
The boy really resonates, you know, I had a I got really mad yesterday, folks, and I guess in the first hour of the program when I was telling you about this uh AP story I saw about people in this country who are war weary.
Yeah, and they're not involved in any way.
They're at home watching it on TV and they are weary.
And it kind of dovetails with this newsweek poll that 67% are unhappy, discontented, and 69% think we're going in the wrong direction.
Uh spoiled.
High expectations.
In fact, you know one of the theories the political scientists have been trying to figure out ever since the election, how come for the first time in anybody's memory, a good economy was not a factor in the election.
And a bunch of theories are being espoused and floated to explain it.
Let's throw one out, because it's, I mean, it's relevant, but uh I think as long as there are people whose daily dose of media is nothing but the twenty minutes they watch at 6 30 on one of the three networks.
Those people, despite the evidence all around them as they live their lives, were convinced this country's a soup line.
So yes, we have to admit that the media did its best to pummel this country with good or bad economic news and shape the good economic news as poorly or ignore it as much as they could.
But there's another factor, in addition to that.
Yeah, we had a recession or depression, whatever, there's a big downturn starting actually before 9 11, and then we had 9-11 and an exacerbated number of things we came out of it.
And there didn't seem to be any real appreciation for it.
The media was telling people it was not substantive, it was a little transparent, and only the rich were doing better, the average and the poor and the middle class were still lagging way behind.
I think there's also a new phenomenon to explain this, and that is a good economy, a roaring economy with plenty of job opportunities is now expected.
It's not appreciated.
It's just thought to be what people are entitled to.
This is the United States of America and corporations exist so I can have health care.
My company exists so I have a job, so I can have a home, so I can have kids and they can have health care.
And if something gets in the way of that like an economic downturn uh then there's anger and rage and I want to blame whoever's in power for it.
And then after the downturn ends and things are brought there's no appreciation.
There is simply this is the way it's supposed to be nobody gets any credit for this.
We are so affluent that we have the highest expectations of people on the planet and we meet them and we get accustomed to them and we take it for granted.
And that's where we are.
Be back.
Sit tight folks much more your phone calls straight ahead.
Making more sense than anything anybody else is saying out there L Rush Ball and the EIB network and back to the phones now since it's open line Friday, Riverdale, Nebraska this is Anne.
It's nice to have you on the program.
Hi Russ, thank you so much for taking my call.
You bet.
And I am here to tell you today about a percentage of the population that is grateful for what we have here in America and definitely knows the value of the fact that we have power and we have running water and we have heat because we here in Central Nebraska I don't know if you know this because it's definitely has not been covered in the national media but we're hit by two back to back ice storms right around the holidays.
The second one was December 29th the um length and breadth and price tag on this natural disaster they said wasn't the equivalent of a class five hurricane we just had thousands of people without power.
There were people stranded in their homes people stranded out of their homes.
Was this part of the giant uh snow snow system at Denver and paralyzed it was it was and I know I realize that there are very serious ranching problems in Colorado but the fact that they're covering starving cattle in Colorado and didn't mention that there were thousands of people in Central Nebraska who were without power just kind of floored me.
But I do know why it wasn't covered by the national national media and I kind of want to thank them because we here are very independent, very self-sufficient and extremely caring people.
We are America's heartland and when flyover country was that fly over country.
Mm-hmm that's what the Liberals call it you you're just suddenly fly over on the way there's sophisticated hangouts on both coasts.
Oh yes that's true.
But you know what we're not we're not newsworthy because our governor wasn't on television complaining that FEMA wasn't here at our door.
What was going on here is what should happen in the midst of national disasters.
People were looking out for everybody else.
Everybody who has something was looking for how that they could share it with their neighbor.
People were looking out for old people who were without power people were looking out for people with small children who were without power.
People were driving out into the country to get people who were stranded in their homes.
I know an electrician friend of mine who is hooking up generators for free.
I uh there they have brought in power workers from all over the country and I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all the people who worked on this and we're working fifteen to eighteen hour days in the cold and in the snow and just working to get us back on our feet.
And everybody here was no whining there was no complaining.
There were houses that were left for a week.
There was no FEMA and there was no FEMA in Denver there was no FEMA anywhere and there was no media blaming Bush for causing the natural disaster there was no media demanding that FEMA show up.
Mm-hmm and you know why nobody in the media cares about you.
Well because we're not whiners and complainers we're not exactly what make big news we're not busy cursing the darkness.
We're too busy lighting our candle we are trying to to find our own way out of what is befalling us.
And I just I can tell you I am so grateful to live among the people that I live with and I just cannot say enough how proud I am.
Well let me tell you something people would be tempted in listening to you Anne people be tempted to think that your description of events is what's unique in this country.
Sadly that's not the case.
This is What your your description of how neighborhoods and states band together and help themselves in times of trouble like this is quite common in this country because the people of this country are good people.
What's unique and unfortunate is the kind of reaction we got after Hurricane Katrina.
It's it's not all that unique.
I mean, because they're but they're there they're people who've been raised to sit around and wait for the government to do whatever it is that they need done.
Uh they know nothing else.
So you go to these very liberal enclaves and and uh and and those those attitudes exist.
Uh but i I've I've always found it fascinating that in that big snowstorm, the ice storms that you're describing, there was there was hardly any there was there was more coverage of the cattle that were stranded than of the forty-four people that they had to dig out of cars and so forth who had died.
I mean, that got reported, but all this media was showing uh helicopters dropping hay and other th kind of things uh for wildlife that was stranded out there to eat.
It's just uh it's it's not that hard to understand why that was not uh sexy uh to the media.
For one thing, skin color was wrong.
It was it would be hard to make victims uh out of people like that.
But New Orleans was made to order.
Uh New Orleans fits a template of American liberalism, or the aftermath of Katrina, I should say, fits a template.
And that is we still have a two-class society in this country, poor black people, and they are not cared for.
They are not like they are ignored, and if we could, we'd just find a way to be done with them.
And that's what the media thinks a lot of people in this country have as a racist attitude.
So here came this hurricane, and here came all this destruction, and here comes a government totally ill-equipped to deal with something this large, no bureaucracy anywhere could have.
Uh, and you you throw in the hatred of George W. Bush and a desire to do anything possible to ruin his administration, and that just that was it's like the Duke rape case.
That fits a template, a a societal template that the left has.
Look at the way the administration there reacted.
The minute the charges were made, the the hockey, the lacrosse team is shut down, the coach is fired, and the kids are kicked out of school.
One shred of evidence has not ever been produced to pr to say these kids did it, and yet the faculty and everybody was demanding that they be run out of Durham or run out of town forever because it fits a template that liberals in the media in this country have.
What happened to you doesn't fit a template.
It's ignored.
It's not interesting to them.
Uh it's and and the success stories are not what they're about.
They're not going to run around and do stories on how well you all banded together and people sacrificed and the electrician you're talking about was donating generators.
That's not sex, that's not news.
They want victims.
They want destruction.
They want death and they want mayhem that they can show so that they can then point fingers of blame at it.
Plus, be very hard for them to get there.
It was an ice storm and it was snow.
You know, and they'll stand out in the middle of the street in the cities where they live to report that it's snowing.
But to actually go into that mess themselves when some of the airports were closed, it was a convenient excuse not to get there.
Just take local footage from the helicopters that were flying around shooting things.
It's a great story.
I'm glad you called, and thanks much.
Um, you're finding places in this country I have never heard of.
McCungie, Pennsylvania.
Dick, where is McCungie, Pennsylvania?
Oh, that's uh a little bit about 50 miles north of Philly in the Allentown area.
Ah, we own Allentown, so I know I know about where you are.
Okay.
Welcome to the program.
Well, thank you, Megan Diddles from McKenzie.
Longtime listener, first time caller.
Thank you.
Make it count.
Okay.
I need your enlightened predictions on this week's football.
Easy.
Easy.
In this in the in the in the uh divisional round like this.
Home team wins 77.2% of the time.
Pick pick the home team.
Pick the home team on all of them.
Pick the home team on all of them.
I mean, if if if you're doing this for when a pool or something like that.
Well, I'm in a pool, but the only thing is I have picked the Eagles.
Well, that's I mean, you you're allowed one homer pick.
You're you're You're engaging here in a Homer pick.
I mean, I I I actually uh uh I'm looking at these games, and I would be happy if either team won any of these games, these four games this weekend.
Oh, yeah, a lot of good.
There's some games, you know, you watch a hope some team doesn't win and advance because they're boring and they're dull.
Actually, there is a team I hope loses.
Precisely for that reason, and it's I shouldn't say this.
I don't want to make it the Sea Hags.
Oh, that makes sense.
I just I just I've had it with the Sea Hags.
Well, they're gonna lose anyway.
Well, you think so?
They're playing the Bears.
They got Rex Grossman uh at quarterback.
That could be an adventure.
Uh yes, it could be.
But the defense is very powerful.
What do you think about uh what do you think about the job Garcia's doing with the Eagles?
I I love it.
I think he stepped in there real nice.
There's a big article in the paper here the other day saying that uh anybody that knows the West Coast offense could jump into that spot and do this as well a job as McNabb.
Really?
Yep.
Really?
Anybody that knows the West Coast offense could do the job McNabb was doing?
That's right.
Whoa, what paper was that in?
That was in their Allentown morning call.
Oh, the Allentown Morning Call.
Well, I was reading the the Philadelphia newspapers have been anguishing over McNabb's absence, as well as the New York Times.
There's a story today, I think the guy's name is Bob Ford.
Uh story about the McNabless Eagles and it just how he can't win.
If he goes to the sideline last week to help Garcia, the fans excuse him of going down there and trying to sabotage Garcia and attract all the attention for himself.
If he doesn't show up, they say he doesn't care.
And people are running around saying he's jealous, he's worried that Garcia's gonna take over the team.
Um it's and then you got sports writers out there trying to this is still McNabb's team, and Rick wrote uh uh uh William wrote in the New York Times wrote that if the Eagles get rid of McNabb after this season and hang on with Garcia as the starter, Philadelphia will lose its soul.
It will.
Now listen to this soundbite.
This came up yesterday on around the horn on ESPN.
Bill Plaske of the Los Angeles Times talking to Woody Page about uh Eagles quarterback McNabb and Plashke says, you know, this this isn't McNagg's McNag's McNab excuse me, folks.
This isn't McNabb's team, I don't think anymore.
And this shows it again.
He's the guy that got tired of the last Super Bowl drive, couldn't lead him to win the Super Bowl.
I think this goes all the way back to that, and it shows that maybe without McNabb, they may be not better, but they're not any worse without him.
Woody Page disagreed.
Here's a guy that got his team to the Super Bowl.
He got his team to the NFC championship three times.
He's a guy who has led this team over and over and over again.
Nolan McNabb has survived the TO controversy.
He has survived the Rush Limbaugh controversy.
He survived all of those injuries last year that he came up with the hernia and all the problems that he had with his legs, and the guy just keeps going out there trumping players, trumping teams, beating teams, leading that team, and if he were still there, they would be in the same place.
Uh ESPN's still obsessed with me, but there's a there is there's a I mean you see, there's a there's a definite uh uh two-camp uh system developing here to protect the team is McNabb's and others trying to throw him overboard.
Well, that same paper, the morning call had a thing in showing uh two columns uh with McNabb and all the games he's played and won and lost, and the games without him won and lost, and the percentage of games won without McNabb is slightly higher than those won with him in the last four years.
Shh no, no, we don't we don't talk about that here.
We no no.
I gotta I gotta ru Yeah, it is, it's true.
It's true.
What he said's true.
What he said is true.
It's absolutely true.
You can look it up, it's in the stamp books.
It's absolutely true.
Look, I got a run out there, Dick.
Home team, 77.2% of the time winning this round.
Back in justice to you, bit.
Take it.
You'll never find a program quite Like this.
And we're back.
It's open line Friday.
Rush Limbaugh now to Barbara in Camden, Maine.
Barbara, nice to have you.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the busy program.
Thank you.
I was more than happy to wait.
Um, I just wanted to tell you that Bush gave his speech this week, and the very next day, the stock markets reached a new record high.
Clinton would give a speech.
The markets would go up the next day, and we'd have to suffer through watching Clinton and Hillary in their fake togetherness showing gloating, happy faces as the media claimed Clinton's speech caused the upmarkets.
Yet nothing is ever mentioned about Bush being the reason the stock markets are in record territory.
Well, of course not.
I'm surprised you would expect there to be such references by the media.
No, it's always housing starts, jobless reports, oil prices, you name it.
Have you seen the oil prices down below $54, $52 a barrel now?
Yeah, but it's not Bush's.
No, and they won't, and you shouldn't expect it.
But if it were Clinton, he'd be the glory of God.
Yeah, but I know.
And it's very frustrating.
But it they are who they are.
It is what it is.
It's always going to be that way.
I know.
And I appreciate everything you do to show this to the nation to the world of how sick liberalism is.
Well, you know, somebody has I got an I should have printed this out last night that was in a hurry and didn't.
But I got just a an email from a classic, classic liberal.
Who in the in the mail, uh, she said, you know, if you if you would just turn her do a 180, you could be so great in this country.
You could own this country, but you have to continue to preach your hatred for liberalism.
You know, people like me, I think she lived in the upper west side of Manhattan.
She said, You've got to stop trying to appeal to these hayseed hicks of yours in the middle of the country, the so-called heartland, because they're hicks and they're idiots, and they believe you.
And you are turning this country into an image of yourself of raging hatred.
And I'm reading this.
You know, and I'm I'm I'm t I'm almost tempted to reply to it.
But I figured I'm not going to.
Because once I started writing something like that, it would um be a long time before I stopped.
So I didn't even print it out.
But but those people uh exist, and it she was not a caricature.
Sounds like it.
But uh but she wasn't.
She has no idea that the real hatred was what she wrote.
And for the vast majority of people in this country.
He had no idea that she was arrogant and condescending, but she was.
And that's who they are.
Um and sometimes, you know, it's when you when you inform people that it sounds a little tough.
And a lot of people don't want to believe that about fellow Americans that they're that way or so forth.
So it helps when people like Barbara Boxer uh do what she did, and this new freshman from Wisconsin starts bragging about how he insulted Carl Rove and Dick Cheney and the president at the White House.
Uh if you sit back and bide your time, these people will, especially now that they've got their power back, and they're still angry as hell.
Even though they won, they're still enraged.
They will tell us all who they are in due course.
This is Matt in Minneapolis, your next sir on the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
I appreciate your call.
You bet uh dittoes from the Twin Cities.
You know, frequently you talk about uh your theater room.
And I'm pretty sure you're pretty passionate about it.
And I'm in the process right now of building mine.
And any chance of you giving a little information of what you have in your theater room.
What do I do now?
Where do you start, right?
Oh man.
Oh, this is a this is tough.
I don't I don't know what to say next here.
I mean, I could do it, but it wouldn't help.
Okay.
Do you have any pictures that you could throw up on your website if you're at theater.
Oh, I yeah, but but I mean, what do you want to see?
What's behind the screen?
Well, not necessarily what's behind the screen, but you know, do you have front?
So I'm assuming you have front projection since you said what's behind the screen.
Uh theater seating, things like that.
No, it's rear projection.
Rear projection.
Rear projection.
Okay.
That's why I asked you if you wanted to see what's look, can you hang I gotta take a break here?
Sure.
If I had any sense, I'd say thanks for the question and move on.
But for some reason, things are so disoriented today.
Not your fault.
I'm gonna stick with you.
Don't go away.
All right, second hour, broadcast excellence in the can, and on to the warehouse where we house all the artifacts awaiting the Limbaugh Broadcast Museum next hour.
Straight ahead.
