Time Text
And welcome back, uh, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
Rush Limbaugh, it's open line Friday's special edition.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
As I say, special edition of Open Line Friday today.
It is our annual Curathon.
We do this one day a year.
We raise money to cure leukemia and lymphoma and the blood cancers.
And I want to thank the all the people have sent emails.
It's it's mixed emotions.
Because I'm getting a lot of emails from people who have recently been diagnosed, or worse, some years ago.
Who uh just want to say thanks to every one of you in the uh in the audience, and of course to me, but you are the more important here in uh in helping to find cures, increase survivability rates.
It's it's hell going to the doctor and getting a diagnosis of any type of cancer.
What we're dealing here today with is uh with leukemia and uh and lymphoma.
And excuse me, the the telephone number, if you want to donate by phone, is 877-379-8888.
Or believe me, the simplest way, and it's safe, you have to sweat it, is go to my website, www.rushlimbaugh.com, and you can be done with it there.
Just one click, go in there, make the donation.
Credit cards uh are accepted and and they're safe.
You're not gonna be bombarded with any solicitations after you do this.
No other charities will get this uh information.
They take Visa MasterCard, American Express, and uh the Discover card.
The online uh donation page, it's safe, is secured.
It's the easiest and it's the most efficient way to donate, and nobody has to send you anything as if you call the number.
If you want to call the phone number, you can if you don't use the computer, and if you don't uh if you don't trust the internet yet, uh feel free to use the phone, 877-379-888.
Uh but but believe me, the the website, Rush Limbaugh.com is the uh is the fastest way to go.
We've got one hour.
Well, actually, no, we got more than that, but we got one hour to uh hype it, as we say.
The uh phone number and the website will be active all weekend long if you're uh if you're thinking about this.
And by the way, you know, a lot of we we we've got the premiums here.
Sixty dollar premium for uh uh well you for that you get a t-shirt, a one-size-fits-all t-shirt, suitable for sleeping.
Uh, and three hundred dollars uh, you know, a camel golf, camel-colored golf shirt, uh EIB logo right here on the left front and the sign my signature on the uh.
Left sleep.
Left sleeve.
Yes, I was I was getting there, uh left sleeve.
But the uh some you don't have to give sixty or three hundred dollars.
Look at the number of people we have in this audience.
Uh everybody just gave a dollar.
Uh we would set a record.
And a dollar you can, even with the euro these days and the strength it has against the you could afford a dollar.
Uh uh it it's so don't don't be embarrassed if uh if you don't have sixty or three hundred.
I always get worried when we mention those two figures because people think that they have to get at least sixty.
Uh give sixty if for it to matter.
And that's not the case at all.
Remember, we're dealing in volume here.
There are millions and millions of you out there.
Uh and and it's it it it any amount, believe me, there's no judgmentalism in this.
Uh the it's not like being polled by a polster and you think you've got to give them the right answer, and they're gonna think you're a nut.
That's not uh applicable here.
Any amount of money that uh that you you have spare that you can donate to this cause will be as appreciated as anything else because it's all going to uh to add up.
There are five blood cancers here that that are being worked on.
Well, leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myelomas, actually, four.
And the survivability rate for all of them is skyrocketing.
A story today in the Washington Post, traffic deaths, the number one killer.
They leave abortion out of this.
Uh abortion would have to be in the top ten.
It would be number one.
Traffic deaths around the world are the leading cause of death worldwide.
But right there at number ten is leukemia, which is what we're uh uh working on today to raise money to try to speed the cure and expand survivability rates uh for people who are who are diagnosed, and the uh the survivability rates are increasing.
As I mentioned, I keep hyping this because I didn't know this uh until we got ready to do this this year.
Bone marrow transplants were pioneered, and I knew that, uh, bone marrow transplants pioneered by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Uh but bone marrow transplants are in fact adult stem cell transplants.
And all these years, this is our seventeenth year, all these years, we've been supporting the only stem cell therapy to date that not only shows promise but has worked.
Fashion that.
Nothing against any other stem cell treatment, but this works.
The bone marrow transplant's actually a stem cell, adult stem cell transplant, and it's uh showing more and more promise uh each and every year.
They're now getting uh uh research started on taking uh uh bone marrow from somebody who is not identical to the patient and making that work.
And that is uh uh all because of the money that you have uh come across with.
And it's it's a it's a moving thing, as I said.
I've been with this the 17th year, and all the people that uh I've been working with have been with Leukemia Lymphoma Society for all those 17 years.
It's the same group of people we work with every year, and they're they're involved because they're committed.
Uh not just a job to them, they've all been affected by it somehow, either themselves or uh family member or what have you.
Leukemia, by the way, this talk about its number 10 uh worldwide.
It's the number one cancer killer of children, people under the age of 20.
Uh yet, because of research and the donations that you've come across with, the most common form of childhood leukemia has an overall survival rate today of 87%.
Now, I mentioned last hour, and I was talking to Mr. Snerdley about this during the break, uh, because I was asking him how he thought the mix went.
It's tough to do this every year.
Well, it's not tough.
I mean, but it's a it's a struggle to come up with the mix, because we don't go wall to wall on the fundraising.
We still mix in regular program content uh with the fundraising and try to come to an accurate balance or a good balance of both, because it's important that you, the people in the audience, hang on through all of this.
Uh and uh and and everybody listening gets some of what they want today in the in the process of uh doing the good works.
It's a great day for this to happen, too, because of so much of the tumult and chaos uh that that at the country has been subjected to uh all week long, and even last week leading up to this, this is a nice time out to uh take a breather, do something productive, uh do something for a lot of people.
Uh I hear the phrase people want to make a difference.
Uh I want to make the world a better place.
This is a real way to do that.
This is a totally substantive way to make a difference and do something that will help people.
Uh you'll never meet them, but believe me, they will you you'll have their gratitude.
Uh their kids get diagnosed with this, they get diagnosed with it.
It's most people feel like it's a death sentence, and it's not a death sentence anymore.
It's uh it's uh not quite that severe because of the donations that you've made over these years that has enabled all the research.
So again, 877-379-8888, that phone number be operative all weekend, uh and rush limb.com, and that again, the most efficient and sensible, easy way to do it.
Brief timeout, we'll come back and continue.
Get to your phone calls on open line Friday, right after this.
877-379-8888 to cure lymphoma and leukemia, or rushlimbod.com.
You can donate there as well.
Now look, I have a story here from the Washington Post today that epitomizes drive-by media.
Headline baby boomers appear to be less healthy than parents.
Here's the pull quote.
People are working two jobs.
They're not sleeping as much.
They're experiencing more job insecurity.
They have less time to take care of themselves.
They're more socially isolated, said Lisa Berkman of the Harvard Schruel of Public Health.
This could all add up to a huge crisis, and really calls for us to examine the things that perhaps we're not doing so well.
Now, this is absolute poppycock.
The life expi I am far healthier than my parents.
Worry.
I mean, it th this is this is uh people working two jobs, not sleeping as much, they're experiencing more jobs.
This is just a this is just a testimonial to baby boomers and their narcissism and their self-focus and everything there's a me, me, me, me, me.
I mean, I this is this is classic.
Baby boomers are treated l appear to be less healthy than parents.
Take a look at the the this the statistics that we shared with you today on the success of these blood cancer diseases.
And this is happening in a lot of medical research.
Uh two jobs.
Well, lower taxes, or get rid of feminism for crying out loud.
Well, I mean, this is this this is i we got a crisis.
We're going to have a crisis.
This could all add up to a huge crow.
What cry if they're right, then the baby boomer's gonna die off soon and put less pressure on social security.
It'll be better off for their kids.
There's always a positive side to everything.
To the phones, Ned Corpus Christi, Texas.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, sir.
This is Ned down by Rockport, uh, which is just a few miles from Corpus.
Been listening to you since about 1991.
Thank you.
Got a request.
I've got two hundred dollars as a retire retired army guy that I'll throw in the fund.
If you'll play two of the parodies, first one being Barbara Boxer, get your thong on, and the second, Ted Kennedy tried to say Barack Obama never does.
You you you will donate two hundred dollars if I if I play one of them.
Both of them.
Oh, you're driving a hard bargain here.
No, sir, not really.
Just retired Army trying to uh here's some fun and levity.
All right, I'll tell you the last week's uh, you know, horrific event.
I tell you what, that's very big of you.
That's a very creative way of uh of uh increasing the pile that we are raising here.
So I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
You're retired Army guy.
Yes, sir.
And we in this program have love, admiration, respect for all of you army guys, Navy, Marines, Air Force, doesn't matter, retired or current.
So we're gonna play both parodies, and we'll take your two hundred bucks.
We thank you so much for it.
But I'm gonna I'm gonna add 10,000 to my total uh in honor of you here.
I've got a grandson that's remitted from it.
You have a grandson that is Remitted from the uh leukemia.
Well, congratulations.
Yes, sir, great.
Great news in the family.
Uh I can imagine.
I can imagine.
We had a guy call early in the first hour from uh Texas also where's Troy, Texas, by the way.
That's where he was calling from.
I I don't know.
I I I'm not familiar.
I Texas is pretty damn big, but I don't know.
It's bigger than half the countries in the world, so true.
So um uh at any rate, he didn't have any money this year.
He donates every didn't have any money, and and he uh uh but he was going to put his name on the bone marrow transplant list.
So I donated ten thousand dollars for him, and he'll get the shirt, yes.
Uh and uh we'll we'll uh I'm gonna add ten thousand in your name too, since uh you're gonna take two hundred dollars from your retirement fund to do this.
Make a rush.
You bet.
All right, here comes what does that put me up to?
That puts me up to uh uh three hundred and twenty three hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
That's what uh because I never ask people to do things that I don't do.
So for Ned in um uh well he's near Corpus, wherever he said he is, here are the two parodies in order that he wanted to hear.
Barbara Boxer thong parody.
All right, now the second one he requested is the Ted Kennedy Obama name mess up.
I want to set this one up because after we uh after we played this, the drive by media going to Media Matters, whatever that website, the front organization for the Clinton campaign, bought and paid for by George Soros and the Clinton people, Media Matters for America, which takes everything that we say here out of context, puts it up there.
They they are the supply source for the drive by media, what is said on this program and a number of others.
The drive by us don't actually listen to this program.
Uh and so we played uh this business of uh of of Ted Kennedy, and afterwards, word spread like wildfire through the Democrat blogs that I was calling Obama Osama, Barack Osama.
And it was never I who did it.
It was Senator Kennedy.
Now, that was a parody because Senator Kennedy at the National Press Club was asked about Obama and said, Well, we need to ask Osama about that.
It was Ted Kennedy that first called Barack Obama Osama and even said bin Laden and caught him as well started laughing about it.
We parodied it.
And uh so anyway, there are the two requests for Ned uh who was in uh Lockport, which is near Corpus Christie.
Barbara in Chicago.
Great to have you next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Help, help, help.
I wish I could put you in my pocket and take you with me Sunday.
I'm going to see an inconvenient truth, which is being given at a library.
If you be patient, I might fit in your pocket before too long.
And there'll be uh a discussion after.
And I really want what salient parts can I address so many.
Don't go see, but since you're going, why are you going to see it?
This I must know.
Oh, well, one, I I haven't seen it, and I talk against it so much from what I hear, and I feel that, you know, I really should see it, and get more aggravated.
And and I wanna uh these are upscale, very intelligent in quote uh community.
And and I I I you know, when they had a Michael Moore uh last year or a few years ago, right away it should go to the high schools and it should you know they they hook, line and sinker for it.
Oh, God, you're ruining my day.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Michael Moore.
Um well look, here's here's the thing.
There's there's uh there are a number of tricks in this movie.
And they keep in mind they're playing this for school kids all over the place, and and uh it's it's pure propaganda.
I know.
It the graphics are slick, uh, and uh the audience is fawning, and so it appears to be just right down the middle factual.
One one thing to look out for, there is a they make a big deal in the movie about polar bears and how their ice glaciers are melting.
And uh they they they come up with a computer generated graphic of stranded polar bears on the ice to illustrate this, and this has got little kids all over the country scared to death we're killing the bears.
We're killing animals, uh their parents are because they're not doing enough about global warming.
I think you need to take a general approach with people after this and just say something like, Do you really believe this?
And make them make them explain why they believe it rather than and then and then when they tell you what they tell you, uh your education and information on this will allow you to refute what they say.
You may not even discuss what's in the movie.
Some of them say, well, the movie said that why do you believe that?
Well, I'm not leading the discussion.
I'm just gonna be one of the viewers.
Well here, hang on.
I've got to take a quick break here.
Hang on.
We'll go go into more of this when we come back.
Stay with us.
And we're back, and we're back with Barbara in Chicago, Illinois on open line Friday.
Barbara, and I want to understand you're gonna go see this thing.
You're gonna go see Gore's movie.
Are are you gonna participate in a discussion group after it?
Well, well, we're just a group of people from the community.
And so somebody leaves a discussion, and we all talk as we want to.
So I want to wait after they've all, you know, said their two cents.
I want to put in mine as far as the other side of the story.
All right, here's here's look it.
This is the simplest thing to do.
Uh y my guess is based on other people, the stories I've heard of other people watching the movie, they're gonna they're gonna go, huh?
Oh no.
Oh and they're gonna really they're gonna believe it.
They're they're they're gonna think this is this is we got a crisis here.
Uh point out that the polar bear thing is a graphic, it's made up, that there's no truth.
There are not melting glaciers, and polar bears are not stranded.
Is it true that this was taken the picture was taken by a boy in Canada in the that that picture's not in this.
They do a they do a computer graphic of of uh of a similar picture.
But that that picture was taken by a woman reporter who accurately captioned it as an ice flow that was made by waves.
It was an environmentalist who got hold of the picture, put it out two years after it was taken with a different caption that led people to believe these two bears were stranded on a melting glacier and had nowhere to go and ever gonna die.
It was all BS.
Yeah, yeah.
But here's the thing.
You can say for for all of you who believe this, can we look at at at at Mr. Gore and ask if he's offering leadership?
He's got a m he's got something on his property.
There's a mine, mine shaft on his property in Nashville that is a huge polluting thing.
Number two, he has not reduced his use of energy at all.
He's out using this carbon credit scam uh to not reduce he this movie asks everybody to reduce their usage.
Everybody's supposed to reduce their carbon footprint.
Everybody is supposed to make do with less.
He is not.
You can factually and honestly tell them and remind them it was all in the news, how big his electric bill is, how big his gas bill is in his little mansion there outside of Nashville.
And he says, Well, that's okay, because I'm out buying carbon credits.
In other words, he's investing in a company he owns that's supposedly planting trees or some such thing to make up for all of the carbon and CO2 that his um his his mansion, his property puts out.
He's not doing in his own life what his movie advocates.
But you know, I uh it's it's uh it's gonna be tough.
I just want to warn you going in because these people are they're gonna watch it as sponges.
Everybody likes being scared, everybody thinks that uh you know we're we're in in a doom and gloom period anyway.
So I I I I I d just follow your instincts on this.
And I and you'll get through it just fine.
Well, uh the gas is in the ozone.
I don't know how to answer that.
Um th there is more, but it's what do you mean the gases in the ozone?
Um you know, the ozone is is is uh there's more what am I trying to say?
You say there's less ozone as an ozone hole?
Oh, right, right.
It's not.
That the ozone hole is a natural phenomenon, opens and closes.
Yeah.
Ozone's made by the sun.
Right.
And it's really the sun we should look to that's causing all this.
Right, exactly.
The sun's the primary.
The sun is the source of all life.
It's the source of all energy.
Right.
We'd have to put the sun out.
We'd have to get rid of ozone, and that can't happen.
This is all but they're saying that the gases we admit uh, you know, cause uh the difficulty with the old zone.
Well, uh just tell them that uh volcanoes put more pollutants in the air than all the automobile traffic since it was invented.
Oh, that's good.
Okay.
Uh butt you you're not gonna you're not gonna persuade him that with this.
The thing to tell them is you people are uh is this your new religion?
Uh you you you you're gonna you're gonna adopt this as your mistake.
Just ask him to start thinking about the complexity of the planet.
Ask them if they really think that all of these these steps they're supposed to take, like uh new light bulbs and driving Priuses, they really think if they could be in a space shuttle orbiting the earth, they really think that that is gonna make it we we're too vain.
We don't have the power to create or destroy this, no matter what they think.
And uh uh people just need to be commonsensical about this.
But I it it's it's gonna be a challenge for you because uh the people will they they naturally gravitate to this kind of apocalyptic uh forecast.
Uh the religion aspects of it are that y I tell you what, if you really want to have a Donnie Brook, tell them this is nothing but pure liberalism.
They're trying to make everybody who watches the movie feel guilty and accept the blame for quote unquote destroying the planet.
Uh and the reason for that is so to assuage that guilt and that sin.
They'll sit back and allow bigger government and more taxes and restrictions on freedom and lifestyles, which is liberalism.
It it that is liberalism.
And this is just the latest campaign of the liberals to get what they want.
Uh and and it's the latest campaign of the world to get all of their hands in our back pockets.
We feed the world, we clothe the world, we clean the world, we're being blamed.
All of it's BS.
It's uh hundred percent BS.
Thanks for the call, Barbara.
I appreciate it.
Here again, folks, the numbers we're running out of time to uh make a difference, to make it count, to cure leukemia and lymphoma, eight seven seven three seven nine eight eight eight eight or the simple efficient way, go to rushlimbaugh.com.
The phone number and the website, both accepting donations all weekend long.
But uh the thrust, of course, is occurring here during these three hours as it does once every year.
We're running ahead of last year.
I sometimes cringe in telling you that because some people say, well, great, we're running ahead, I can back it.
I I don't have to contribute.
It doesn't matter.
Five bucks, one buck, ten dollars, it it really it all adds up and it all matters.
Here's Diane in um Westland, Oregon.
Uh you're next.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, great to be on the on with you.
Um I am calling because last Barbara called and she said she's choosing to go see this inconvenient truth.
I have a seventh grader in public school who's been that's being shown in his science class.
So my question to you, and he wants to skip school that day.
He doesn't want to go.
So I'm wondering your advice.
What I should say to him?
Should I say something to the school?
Here's what I would do.
There are parents in in the U.K. who are demanding the schools not show it.
The same thing's happening there.
In the state of Washington, some parents rebelled because both sides are not being presented.
Here in Florida, it's even worse, Diane.
There's a school system here that demanded all of the kids see it, and they were told.
The parents were told they had to come watch it too, or their kids would suffer grade consequences.
Now, th this is it's a it's just pure politics.
I would you've you've you've got precedent out there in many other parts of the country.
I'd I'd go to the school and say, I don't want my kid watching this.
This is this is not education.
This is this is a political issue, and you are not presenting both sides of it.
And until you present both sides of it, I don't want my kid seeing it.
All righty.
It's just hard to believe.
And even my fourth grader came home with a global warming worksheet he had to do.
Global warming worksheet.
I know.
This is an indoctrination that's happening out there with this.
Uh young people are impressionable.
You tell them that the polar bears are dying, and they start crying and having nightmares.
Yeah, he came home with the picture of the polar bear on the ice.
Yeah, yep, yep, and that's a total hoax picture, Diane.
I I learned that from you.
Yes.
And uh well, in fact, I'll tell you what, we'll have Coco put that whole thing back up on the website today so you don't have to search for it and find it.
That'd be great.
And in fact, we'll we'll put a we'll put a whole little global warming segment on the website this weekend so that you and uh woman in Chicago can can get it.
That's the best thing to do, just research the encyclopedia that's my website, and you'll be armed for battle no matter who you run up against.
Well, that's what you're great for.
Thank I appreciate it.
Well, and many other things too, but I'll I'll accept that.
And thank you for what you're doing for the current.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks very much.
I appreciate it, Diane.
Andrew in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Hello.
Rush, thanks for having me on.
Yes.
Uh Rush, the question I've always wanted to ask you is where did you come up with the name Rio Linda?
I didn't come up with it.
It place actually exists.
It does.
Yeah.
It's uh it's in Sacramento.
It's uh d uh I don't want to insult Sacramento by calling it a suburb, but I mean that's the best way to uh describe it.
When I'm when I moved to Sacramento in 1984, you know, struggling young media personality, you drive around town getting to know the community trying to learn about it where things are, so that uh even on your first day on the radio you can sound educated and informed.
And I'm I'm I'm driving out by one of the Air Force bases.
Um I think it's McClellan.
McClellan or Mayder.
Well, McClellan.
Anyway, I'm driving out there and and uh it in and I ended up on a road that had one of these green signs that donates city limits, and it said Rio Linda.
There was no number on it indicating how many people lived there.
So I thought, well, that's interesting.
Maybe the residents won't admit it.
So I drove drove through town and through the main drag, I saw the most incredible sights.
I saw houses right off the main drag, two-lane road, with uh some of them had two cars jacked up on concrete blocks in the front yard, washing machines on the front porch.
Uh and I thought, oh, this is cool.
So I just I I I've uh one of my little techniques back then was uh uh you know to make fun of uh local community now and in a good hearted and a nice way, and I offered to move there if they would rename the town Limbaugh, California.
I tried that in West Sacramento too.
I failed in both places.
I was rejected in both places.
But uh when I say for those of you in Rio Linda, uh I'm just trying to help them understand things that uh other people do they they need a little work on.
It's that but the place exists.
And it's actually uh, you know, I've had the property values have skyrocketed out there since I have called attention to the place.
They've made they've they've uh they've made some improvements.
There's some cas some some of these houses now only have one car on concrete blocks in the uh in the front yard.
So they're they're they they've shown progress.
This attention has has helped them improve themselves.
All right.
Well, thank you, Russ.
All right, happy to explain.
There's a great open line Friday question.
Again, uh we're we're curing leukemia and lymphoma today, folks.
The f four primary blood cancers, uh leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, there are tremendous success stories.
In fact, H. R. could you I want to I want you to send the cheat sheet here that I'm using over to Coco so he can put that on the website this weekend, just the details of the progress that's been made uh on the donation page because I think people that go there need to see the results of their contributions.
Uh even though I have total authority and credibility when I say it, uh people can read it and have it there, uh, and it'll it'll buttress uh their decision as to whether or not to contribute.
We're running ahead of last year, and we've uh we've set a record every year doing this.
I can't thank you all enough for the for the uh efforts that you're making.
Uh and it's it's appreciated by one and all more than you know, particularly those who are diagnosed with one of these uh blood cancers.
It's a shock, it's it's a life-changing thing that you're diagnosed with any of the disease like this.
It's certainly also the case here.
Uh, and the level of appreciation that uh outpours in my meme email from these people is heartwarming.
Uh and we've got uh about ten minutes here left to uh to hype this, and I can do it only the best way to do it is just continue to tell you how to make a uh a donation in any amount.
Remember, we got sixty dollars to get you a one-size-fits-all t-shirt, three hundred dollars a custom golf shirt, whatever size you want.
Uh, but you don't have to give either of those amounts.
You can give more, you can give less.
Uh don't don't be embarrassed or shy if it's not sixty.
Not necessary.
877-379-8888 or the website, Rush Limbaugh.com.
We'll be right back and continue after this.
How are you?
Rush Limbaugh on Open Line Friday special edition, the Kirathon, cure leukemia and lymphoma.
Go to Rush Limbaugh.com to make a donation.
Secure credit card.
Nobody's gonna solicit you, and nobody will ever know, other than the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Uh we just got a call.
This is for Diane uh out in uh Oregon.
Her kid was just been told that he's got to go see an inconvenient truth.
And this is good, this is great, Diane.
We've got a phone call from uh a parent who said, Look, my kid had to go do this, and the kids themselves have found a way to thwart the effort of the school to indoctrinate him on this.
A kid in in his in his class took a universal remote in and kept changing the TV channel.
They've had a bunch of TV set up for them to watch it in class, and he just kept changing the TV channel to MTV or or something else, uh, or switching it off to a black screen uh when they didn't want to watch it.
Uh and I don't know if the kid got caught or not, but it would be worth it.
He did not get caught.
They couldn't find out who who had the universal oh, the kid got away with it.
So there's you th that's probably the best piece of advice.
