Time Text
Hiya, folks, greetings.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We found Judge Susan Hirchner from the Anita Hill hearings, and we did find a little over two minutes of the Kennedy's in Jeopardy game coming up in mere moments on the Rush Limbaugh program.
We meet and surpass all audience expectations every day.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbaugh at EIB net.com.
All right, just before the break at the top of the hour, I sent my uh one property manager out.
They come here and they wash the car every day.
And I said, take it out there and get it.
Get the tires inflated properly and uh and get it tuned up.
Just don't take it to the dealer.
He said, sir, are you sure you don't want to fly it back over to Germany?
No, no, no, no.
You can do it here.
I need I need this done quickly.
So um it just it just has been out there about ten minutes.
Uh the service station real nearby when it got the tires properly in flavor.
They were, by the way.
The tires were to we take great care of uh all of the cars here at the EIB network.
Tires were properly inflated.
The uh tune-up is underway, and he told me that the price of gas has not changed.
Uh since this happened.
I've been going to keep an eye on this.
The apparently, folks, if you if you put more air in your in your tires and you get a tune-up, then somehow gas is gonna get cheaper, and we will not have to drill or what have you.
And I just have it on good authority that after inflating the tires, making a trigger right, the tune-up price of gas is still the same as it was before I got all that done.
Well, it depends on, yeah.
By the time I get home, it could change.
We'll uh we're keeping a sharp eye on this because we're following the suggestions made by the Messiah so that we won't have to drill for oil.
Make sure the tires are inflated, and the car is tuned up.
This is from October 11th, 1991.
A little sample here of Judge Susan Hirschner testifying in the Anita Hill hearings.
Mr. Thomas had said to her, you know, if you had witnesses, you'd have a perfect case against me.
She told me that she was very humiliated and demoralized by Mr. Thomas's behavior, and that it had shaken her faith in her professional ability.
Susan Hirschner.
You hurt this this and that she was on for a long time the day that she was on.
They had her back.
And she was the only thing comical.
What she was saying was not comical.
It was defamatory, but she was comical, nevertheless, in and of herself.
Kennedy's in Jeopardy game, December 3rd, 1991.
Would you like to would you like to play the Kennedy's in Jeopardy game?
Let's go.
Are you ready to play?
You understand how it works?
Yes, sir.
I heard it earlier.
Okay, you have.
All right.
Well, we are that we're going to get you also a prosecution question.
We're going to ask and test your knowledge about that which the prosecution may have said.
It's time for yet another exciting edition of the Kennedy's in Jeopardy game.
And now it's the Kennedy's in Jeopardy game.
Based on the actual published quotes from the William Kennedy Smith rape trial.
And now, here's your host, Rush Limbaugh.
Thank you, John Donovan.
Thank you very much.
All right, our contestant here is Eric from Syracuse, New York.
Eric, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to play you three statements.
One of them was actually made by the prosecuting attorney yesterday in the Kennedy trial.
Uh the other two were not.
We were made up.
We made them up.
You identify the right one and you win the grand prize, a rush limbaugh coffee mug with a 22-karat gold signature of me stamped on there.
You lose, sorry.
It's only a hundred bucks is the best we can do.
You ready to play?
Yes, sir.
Here goes.
One.
She was forced onto her back.
The defendant was on top of her.
Two.
She said, not on the beach.
It's too gritty.
Three.
I never sleep with a man until the third drink.
Okay, Eric.
What is it?
One, two, or three.
We'll give you ten seconds to ponder this.
I don't know.
That's that's tough.
I know.
Don't don't answer yet.
Take your full 10 seconds.
Mmm, yum.
Bam, bam, bam, bam.
Oh Okay, Eric.
Time now.
What is it?
One, two, or three.
I'll have to guess of uh how about number one.
Number one is right.
I like it!
On a wild guest.
That just shows this audience, my friends, is indeed up to speed.
They know their news.
Eric, you have won a Rush Limbaugh coffee mug with my signature stamped on it in 22 karat gold, which will help raise your family a long way.
Well, a long way toward elevating the values of your fancy.
It's the Rush Hawkins singers.
And thank the Lord Rush Limbaugh's on.
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary week here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, tomorrow is, of course, the actual 20th anniversary, the first of August, last Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina, at a voter registration event.
The chairman of the Democrat National Committee, Howard Dean spoke.
We will never again make the mistake of not coming to the South and proudly asking for our votes as Democrats because the Democratic Party message will not be delivered anymore by Rush Limbaugh.
Yes, it will.
We are going to continue to deliver the Democrat Party message because they lie about their message.
They don't tell you the truth about what they're going to do, what their plans are.
Tell you the truth.
LA Times, top of the ticket blog, where did Obama's mojo go?
They're very concerned.
What's happened to Barry's momentum?
Strategists are puzzled.
They say that people want to vote for Obama, but something's holding them back.
And they can't figure out what it is.
It actually says here political strategists are puzzled.
Several strategists of both parties, since Americans want to vote for Obama, something's holding them back, or several things.
Maybe it's his flips, maybe it's his arrogance.
Maybe they're just suspicious of the legislators.
What's Obama done for D.C. Change since arriving?
Not much.
They go through four different things, and they have missed it all.
I don't even know.
Where do they get the idea?
People want to vote for Obama, but something's holding them back.
Where do both strategists say this?
Speaking of Howard Dean, ladies and gentlemen, he cannot get me off his mind.
Here is a montage of Howard Dean over the years, obsessed with me.
I am tired of having Rush Limbaugh lay claim to the American flag.
So we aren't under the thumb of the Rush Limbaughs.
We are taking our country back piece by piece from the Rush Limbaugh.
We have the power to take back the United States of America, so our flag is not owned by Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag no longer represents solely Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag never again is the sole property of Rush Limbaugh.
The flag of the United States doesn't belong to Rush Limbaugh.
So the flag of the United States of America is no longer the sole property of Rush Limbaugh.
This democracy and the flag of the United States do not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country, so that the flag of the United States is no longer the sole property of Rush Limbaugh.
This country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
I want my country back, Mr. President.
That flag belongs to every single American, not to Rush Limbaugh.
Move over.
I want my country back again because the flag of this country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back the flag, so it is no longer belongs solely with Rush Limbaugh.
He's obsessed.
Howard Dean.
Not one of those was repeated.
A brief timeout.
We'll come back and continue after this.
Hey Rush, how are you doing?
This is the Hutch.
Just wanted to come and congratulate you on 20 years.
That's coming from the only true black friend you have.
And don't even go down the road about both snurly.
He works for you.
You pay him.
He has to smile at you.
But I am the man that does it for free.
Hey, Bra again, congratulations.
And when I get my jet certification, I even fly your jet for free.
That's the only way we're going to hang out.
Love you.
Have another great 20 years, and I hope I'm here to hear every one of them.
The Hutch.
I met the Hutch on a salmon fishing trip with Paul Westfall and Howard Slusher up at Vancouver Island and they've become a close friend, former linebacker in the National Football League for the Cowboy.
He was a mic linebacker, by the way, the uh Dallas Cowboys, the Seattle Seahawks, and of course the the uh San Diego Chargers.
Going back to the archives, ladies and gentlemen, as we celebrate our twentieth anniversary, many of our parodies uh we've looked at and uh want to share with you again the uh creative work here of uh white comedian Paul Shanklin.
Okay, we are back.
Yeah, we move on to the uh to the phones.
This is Jason of Philadelphia.
Jason, thanks for calling.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush.
Super mega dittoes.
Um quick little story for you to to kick it off.
Yeah.
Uh my father passed away about twenty years ago, and this was about the same time I started listening to you.
So you've been sort of a father figure to me uh over all these years, which I mean it's just incredible.
I I'm so happy that you are are out there um inspiring people like myself.
It is just incredible, and thank you for everything.
Well, thank you, sir, but uh please do not eliminate uh yourself from the uh from the achievements that you've had.
You've played a major role in them more than I have.
Oh, absolutely.
And and and you know, it really does uh it rolls into uh why I called in, which is um because of the call yesterday, and this lady saying that her her blood pressure was being caused by you.
And I would actually say that you're the one that's been my blood pressure medication over the years.
I I have blue high blood pressure as well, and you've been one of the the things that's helped keep it down by keeping me smiling and and laughing when things get tough.
So I just uh like I said, I really appreciate everything you've done.
You know, you really are the perfect uh blood pressure medication for us out here who think that the the Congress is just insane.
Well I know it's maddening some of the stuff that we have to put up with from public figures and what they say and uh and and what they do, and what what makes it maddening is that there's no oversight of these people, particularly the Democrats.
The drive by media will just amplify whatever they say or ignore the really embarrassing things like Obama and inflating your tires and getting a tune-up in order to save us from the trouble of having a drill for additional oil.
Well, I I can't afford a tune-up now because I spent all that money yesterday in my gas tank.
So uh I I guess I've got to pick one or the other, either gas or a tune-up.
Well, uh I know because with Obama you can't can't have it all.
That's right.
And under the Democrats, you won't have any.
You can't eat as much as you want.
Uh you can't drive as much as you want because the rest of the world's mad at us for these things.
Well, and under the Democrats, we just we won't have to worry about that, because if we just give them everything, they will fulfill our our dreams.
Well, that's Charles Rangel's plan.
He's got a new tax plan called uh We Make It and They Take It.
Sounds perfect.
It's an alternative to the AMT.
Anyway, uh Marty in Lynwood, California, you're next.
Jason, thanks so much for the call.
I appreciate it.
This is Marty and Linwood.
Welcome, sir.
Yes, hello, sir.
Rush.
Well, first off, happy anniversary, Rush.
I've been a pleasure listening to you all all these twenty years.
Thank you.
But let's cut down to the mustard.
Uh what's the deal with you buying the Los Angeles Rams, really?
Truth to that.
Well, there's no the Rams are not even for sale officially.
Chip Rosenblum and his sister have said they're not for sale.
That's the right right uh right offer comes.
Look at course I am serious.
I have I've told people for many years I'd love to own or be a part of the ownership group of a national football league team.
And over the years I've gotten to know a whole lot of owners in the NFL.
I've made no secret uh about it.
So I mean that I I can't believe the question.
This is Mark Stein.
Congratulations, Rush, on a fabulous twenty years.
Uh but it's just the beginning.
Uh take it from a foreigner.
Uh Queen Victoria was on the throne sixty-four years.
You're just getting warmed up.
Here's to the next 44.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
That's an interesting perspective.
Mark Stein.
And the tributes and the accolades continue.
I must say, uh, beginning of the week I was rather embarrassed and a little tingly.
Getting used to it now as we approach.
What was that, Mr. Snerdling?
Yeah, it will go away after.
By the way, Snerdley, I would like for you to be working on a an official Obama criticizer on the um inflating tires and the tune-ups and oil prices.
And also playing the race card again, trying to distract voters from his own flatlining here.
Bumping off well, no bump off of the trip abroad.
Uh here, ladies and gentlemen, Clint in Memphis.
Clint, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Ross.
Yes, sir.
Say, I just want to let you know uh I'm traveling out here, and uh I was just driving down the street.
I pulled into like a convenience mart, and I was doing a little paperwork, and as I I was setting there, a lady came out and changed the sign, and the gas price went from 378 down to 377.
You haven't even got your car tuned up and it's already working.
378 to 377.
Uh, where where was this?
Uh actually um it was about a mile from Graceland.
I couldn't tell you exactly what street corner it is because I I'm already left there, but uh that w did you did you change the air pressure in your tires?
Did you get it tuned up?
Actually, actually, no, I'm uh this is a rental car, but I'm actually thinking about stopping and getting the tires uh inflated or checked, and maybe even have it tuned up before you take it back.
Yeah, you never know what'll happen to the gas price of lean in.
So he actually saw the price of gasoline come down by one penny a mile from Graceland on the day after Obama suggested people uh tune-ups and properly inflated tires.
It might be working.
Who's next?
Ken in Sacramento, my adopted hometown.
Hello, Ken, nice to have you here.
Well, nice to be here.
Congratulations, Rush, on your 20th.
Thank you, sir.
Uh, is it only been 20 years?
It's really times fly, doesn't it?
Well, for people in Sacramento, it's been twenty-four.
That's what I was gonna say, because I started to listen to you when Mary Jane Pop went off the air.
I'm one of your charter listeners out here in California.
Well, that's right.
Now, Mary Jane Pop was on the air when I was out there.
Mary Jane Pop did afternoon drive at the KFBK in Sacramento, and I was uh I did uh I did nine to noon uh out there.
She was still there when uh when uh when I started, so but she did leave at some point.
She went to the local television station to do weather.
Right, she has a long neck.
Uh I was uh listening to you as I was driving to work.
She had a what?
Did you say wait a minute?
What what w what what did you say?
She had a long neck.
Yeah, she was on TV.
Everybody said she has a very long neck.
Hmm.
Interesting things that people notice about people.
I I never got that high.
Okay.
Uh notice Mary Jane.
Well, at any rate, I'm a trial attorney.
I used to listen to you on my way to work, and uh I wasn't quite sure whether I was a liberal or a conservative.
I um was a member of the John Burch Society when I was a young kid.
And I'm retired now.
I'm a uh conservative for sure.
Have only vote conservative.
I drive a big Hummer, and I live up in the mountains above Sacramento.
And I wanted to congratulate you on your 40 uh your 20th and uh tell you how much I enjoyed listening to you every day of my life.
Ken, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
People in Sacramento got all this started.
Uh that's that's where the that's where I had my very first success track.
1984, after being in radio for well since 1967, so it would be 17 years.
People have been requesting, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, to re-hear uh the call from Rita X from Detroit.
Now we've got two versions of the Rita X call.
We have the full version, which ran over nine minutes.
That may be a bit much.
But we might do that version of the two and a half minute version now as just a little tease.
The president and his chief joints the staff are planning a secret war involving their over 40-year knowledge of an encounter with a collective fleet.
Oh, which has been called the unidentified flying saucer.
Well, what a reader, reader, hang on a minute.
Now the the the Chiefs of joint, as you say, the the chairman of the Chiefs of Joint is a black man.
Colin Colonel Powell Colonel Colin Powell.
Colin Colonel Powell.
It's Colonel Colin Powell.
Well, let me rephrase this.
General It's General Colin Powell.
It's General Colin Powell.
Because he he has planted genocide on the black community as Minister Farrakhan has revealed to the masses of the people that President Bush has sat down with Colonel Colin Powell to plan genocide against the black community.
But this is why the event, the mother plane is there, and the mother plane will destroy England.
And that's why you notice that when the first sightings of the writing in the hedges, uh, from Stonehenge and the writing in the grass was fifty miles from what is called Stone Hedges in England.
Stone Hedges, yes.
The mother plane with the 1500 bombing plane would drop three baby planes, three bombs on England and destroy England, and also she would destroy your neck your air uh the air uh the the American air uh bases and her jets and everything.
There it is.
That's uh but we actually that was only half of it because uh that started halfway through the two and a half minutes.
So it still works, and it it still works, but here play the whole thing now.
This is the whole two minute version, just to give you a sample.
This went on for nine minutes.
Let me just say this.
There is a spaceship called the mother plane.
Yes, and on the mother plane, it has what is called fifteen hundred bombing planes, and very soon in the nineteen ninety, a four the closure on the UFO phenomena, which has been withheld from the public, will be exposed.
I see.
The Pentagon, NASA space program, the President of the United States, and the Joint Chief of Staff, both Congress and the Senator of the USA, as well as the Navy and Air Force Intelligence, FBI and CIA will be forced.
You forgot Interpol.
You forgot Interpol.
Well, we'll be forced to face the nation and the mounting crisis in the air and on the land and and the sea and give up the secret.
What are the secrets?
The secret is the President and his chief joints of staff are planning a secret war involving their over 40 year knowledge of an encounter with a Galactic Fleet, which has been called the unidentified flying saucers.
Well, Rita, Rita, hang on a minute.
Now the the the Chiefs of Joint, as you say, the the chairman of the Chiefs of Joint is a black man.
Colin Colonel Powell Colonel Colin Powell.
Colon Colonel Powell.
It's Colonel Colin Powell.
Well, let me rephrase this.
General it's General Colin Powell.
It's General Colin Powell.
Because he he is planning genocide on the black community as Minister Farrakhan has revealed to the masses of the people that President Bush has sat down with Colonel Colin Powell to plan genocide against the black community.
But this is why the event, the mother plane, is there, and the mother plane will destroy England.
And that's why you notice that when the first sightings of the writing in the hedges uh from Stonehenge and the writing in the grass was fifty miles from what is called Stone Hedges in England.
Stone Hedges, yes.
The mother plane with the 1500 bombing plane would drop three baby planes, three bombs on England and destroy England, and also she would destroy your neck your air uh the air uh the American air uh bases and her jets and everything.
Now you might be asking, where is Rita X today?
Rita X was from Detroit.
Rita X, an acolyte of Minister Lewis Farrakhan.
I would suspect that Rita X is actively involved in the Obama campaign today, uh perhaps uh community organizer or voter registration drive precinct captain, something like that.
But no question that uh uh Rita X today Rita X, if you're still there, we'd love to hear from you again and find out how it's going in the Obama campaign, because we're sure that's where she is.
Um never know.
There's the possibilities with the kind of brilliance that Rita X displayed and the knowledge and the understanding, the depth of understanding she has of world affairs and Uh and and stone hinges and so forth.
Uh the sky was the limit for her, including the mother plane.
Now, folks, let me tell you something.
We have we have uh we've spent a lot of time, the staff have spent a lot of time going back through archival tape, transcripts, and so forth.
A lot of these transcripts, of course, we have had their on computers and they've had to be backed up.
And I wonder how many of you actually think about backing up your computer data.
We could not have done this, prepared these things all week for today or tomorrow, uh if we had lost all of the transcript in the data.
So you get summertime out there, there's a lot of distractions.
Weddings, pool parties, people taking pictures and so forth.
What if you lose them?
What if your computer goes south on you?
There's a way to make sure you never lose the stuff.

And we're back, Rush Limpo.
Executing the programming format flawlessly, zero mistakes.
Jim Rutenberg today, the New York Times.
McCain tries to define Obama as out of touch.
This and by the way, the drive-bys are circling the wagons now, trying to build Obama up as he's flatlined here, and McCain's creaming up in the polls, and Rutenberg story is just one of them.
It's a fascinating thing.
This piece, this piece is about how uh McCain is just being out of touch and unfair himself by comparing Obama to Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton in the latest ad.
He's nothing more than a pop culture celebrity.
That's his appeal.
David Axelrod, who is running the Obama campaign, is quoted in Rutenberg's story as saying, Look, when times are tough, the public doesn't have much tolerance for Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton.
Yes, David, that's the point of the ad.
Those two are mindless twits.
And he's trying to lump your candidate in with these these pop culture celebrites.
These celebutards.
Is what it is, and so it's exactly the point.
They understand the point exactly right.
Don't have tolerance for this kind of stuff.
It's things are more serious than that.
Edward in Radcliffe, Kentucky.
Great to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
Hello.
Oh, great to talk to you, sir.
I remember several years ago we were watching, my wife and I were watching NBC News, and Tom Brokow came on and referred to you as a New York commentator.
And I got really irritated about it.
I don't remember the year, and I don't remember the subject, but God bless you, Rush Limbaugh, for what you do.
Thank you.
So what what what bothered you about him referring to me as a New York commentator?
Well, the fact that he referred to you not by name, but smugly as a New York commentator.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I thought.
Oh, it was just smug.
Just smugness and uh not even using your name.
You have to understand what was happening to those guys at the time.
These guys had a monopoly, rather.
Jennings broke off.
Yes, they did.
They had a and that Monopoly was on its way to being broken, and it has been broken now, and they they were not happy with me.
And this was before Fox News, I believe.
Well, yeah, of course.
Yeah, that was the breakup of the drive by media monopoly uh began long before Fox Fox inaugurated in 96 or 97, I forget which.
Anyway, we had I pre- I appreciate that, Edward.
Thanks very much.
We had all kinds of uh opportunities for parodies of Tom Brokaw here.
What it's like to read the news.
Want to squeeze one more call in here.
We've got one minute.
Mac.
He's gone.
He's he's his toi.
Uh they're all gone.
The call well, the callers, they're not stupid.
They figured that we had very little time left.
And of course, you gave up on the show too.
You could have told them to hang on.
You could have said, don't go away, rush might get to you.
No, what have you been doing?
You've been running around, whatever you're doing.
I can see you're not sitting there at the phones.
You the you gave up on the show.
You thought the show was over.
I I know I never, but you gotta be ready.
I know I never go for a caller this time of the show, but you've got to be ready.
There's always a first time.
We're just having fun here.
We will have an official Obama criticizer installment tomorrow.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, as well as uh getting full bore into the 20th anniversary, which actually is tomorrow.
More nanny information.
Emergency room doctors are now advising Americans to not text message anybody while you're walking, while you're skating, or while you are cooking.
I don't know why not.
I don't know why you can't do all it at one time, but they're saying don't do it.
Emergency room doctors.
So see you tomorrow, folks.
