Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right 98.8% of the time.
Great to have you with us today, folks.
It's Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
And when we get to the phones, of course, the content of the program is all yours.
Monday through Thursday, this program is about what I care about.
But on Friday, I'll fake it if you bring up something that doesn't interest me.
I doubt that'll happen, but you never know.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address, L. Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Hillary Clinton.
Her place has been taken by the other woman.
Again.
Can you imagine how Mrs. Clinton has to feel today, dissed by her own party on the 88th anniversary of women getting the right to vote and create the American welfare state?
Great to have you with us here, folks.
800-282-2882.
Guess where Obama and Biden started their campaign today?
Beaver, Pennsylvania.
Started their campaign today in Beaver, Pennsylvania, and they put out this statement.
Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Governor Palin shares McCain's commitment to overturning Roe versus Wade, the agenda of big oil, and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies.
That's not the change we need.
It's just more of the same, said Adrienne Marsh, Obama campaign spokeswoman.
They are floundering out there.
We may have wrested the women's vote away from the Democrats with this choice.
She is the governor of a state that has just 100,000 fewer citizens than the state of Delaware.
Delaware has 700 some thousand citizens.
Alaska, 638,000 and some numbers, some additional numbers than that.
She is an executive.
She has a story.
Foreign policy, no foreign policy experience.
You know, I can't, I think I really, I said this last hour, and I think, folks, this is almost a rope of dope.
Because in Barack Obama, Charles Krauthammer had a great piece yesterday.
I'm just going to summarize it and put it in my own words.
He had a great piece yesterday on the fact that Barack Obama cannot tell his story.
He hasn't told his story other than the story of his family, his Michelle Obama and two kids' family.
But he doesn't tell anything of his achievements.
There aren't any.
He has nobody else speak of his achievements.
There aren't any.
All people do is speak of his qualifications.
And his number one qualification, as offered in his speech last night, was that he's from the party of FDR and JFK.
And that alone is supposed to solve everybody's problem with his lack of qualification.
Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, is more qualified to be president than Barack Obama.
Barack Obama doesn't have foreign policy experience either.
Somebody tell me what it is.
He has worked in the United States Senate for 143 days.
He has gone from community agitator to United States Senator to U.S. Senator with no foreign policy experience.
And McCain will trump Biden when it comes to foreign policy experience.
McCain's going to trump Obama in all kinds of experience.
McCain has a story of heroism, integrity, and honor to tell.
He has countless thousands of people to vouch for him on it.
Sarah Palin has a great American story, tremendous American story.
You heard it in her acceptance speech this morning or this afternoon in Dayton, Ohio, and we're cutting it up now.
We'll have some audio sound bites of that as well.
Not only does she have a great American story, a great American family, she has a lot of people to vouch for that story, a lot of people to tell us who she is, about her character, about her dignity.
None of these things can be said about Obama.
There are no people who vouch for Barack Obama.
I haven't even heard any of his Harvard law school buddies come out and say good things about Obama.
The only people that can vouch for Barack Obama are people he doesn't want us to know that he knows very well and he doesn't want us to hear from.
William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, that fruitcake priest, Phleger, and who else?
Some of these other guys that got him involved with his cronies in the Chicago world of thug politics.
I mean, you're talking about an empty suit and an empty resume.
You know, I got here today, started doing show prep, and I turned on the TV, and I couldn't find, there was no reporting on this big bang-up speech last night.
I couldn't find it.
It was almost as though the speech was just a rumor.
And then I started reading some of the drive-by media reports on Obama's speech, and blacks are criticizing him, civil rights coalition criticizing him, Tom Brokaw warning these Democrats, don't get caught up in that crowd size last night.
It's not going to mean anything.
We put together a summary.
Rather, the speech went 44 minutes, and I don't want to play all those soundbites.
I'm not going to play all those soundbites.
I'm feeling happy today.
I'm not going to revisit.
We've put together a highlight summary of Barack Obama's speech last night.
He actually said in his speech last night, he actually said, and, you know, the audience sort of looked a little stunned.
He said, I am my brother's keeper.
He actually said it.
His brother lives in a hut, $12 a year.
His brother lives in a hut, a shack, a six by nine foot hut outside Nairobi.
He is his brother's keeper.
He hasn't even sent his brother a hut suite hut signed to put upside inside the hut.
If he sent his brother 20 bucks, he'd come close to doubling his annual income.
He is his brother's keeper.
Anyway, about all they have to say is that I'm troubled by her lack of experience.
This is going to come back to bite them.
And I'll tell you something else.
The Democrats are going to send out their liberal women.
They're going to send out the Madeline Albrights.
I welcome that, by the way.
They're going to send out their Jane Fondas.
They're going to send out all of their women.
I'll bet you we don't hear much from Hillary.
And I'll bet you we don't hear from Bill, except he's probably trying to get her number right now.
John O'Sullivan is a veteran of many political experiences over many years.
He's edited National Review.
He's very close to Lady Thatcher.
And he points out that Lady Thatcher came to office as prime minister with very little foreign policy experience, but she surrounded herself with experts that believed in her, that she trusted their instincts as compared to her own.
Now, Joe Biden has foreign policy experience on the Foreign Relations Committee, yip, yip, yip, yip, yahoo.
30 years, yip, yip, yip, yip, yahoo, of being wrong on everything.
What good is experience if you're wrong on everything?
And that's what this is going to boil down to.
Obama and Biden are simply wrong.
And it's been proven.
They were against the surge.
They were against Obama was against the whole thing in Iraq.
They've been wrong on everything that has been important.
Her foreign policy experience is, you know, that's where character comes in.
It's where education, surrounding yourself with the right kind of advisors.
Cain can handle that.
That's a basis charge.
They're going to have a lot of problems going after this woman.
They really are.
Her son deploys to Iraq on September the 11th, the upcoming September of the 11th.
Ladies and gentlemen, the drive-by media, very unhappy with this choice.
I want to replay for you, audio sunbite number one from CNN this morning, Ed Henry.
If John McCain really was a Maverick, he would have gone with someone like Joe Lieberman that they had floated that trial balloon of Joe Lieberman, an independent Democrat, maybe Tom Ridge, a moderate Republican.
But as we all know, Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives warned that that would lead to the destruction of the Republican Party.
It would split the party at the Republican convention next week.
And in the end, John McCain went with a conservative.
So you're going to hear the Democrats try to say, well, this is not really being a Maverick that he, in their words, buckled to the right wing of his party.
Not a Maverick.
This is a purely Maverick pick.
Ed, who's got the woman on the ticket, Ed?
Your party or McCain's party?
And Ed, you are a Democrat.
You guys need to stop hiding this stuff.
You're doing a better job keeping it under wraps than they are over at DNC TV, but we all know.
So they're mad at me.
They're mad at me because they think I forced McCain into a conservative pick.
They wanted a pro choicer on this ticket so that they could cream McCain.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to go over this experience business another way.
They say that Libs are saying that Sarah Palin doesn't have any experience.
Neither does Obama.
And I want to try to illustrate that.
Let's say that Obama and Sarah Palin got together.
What are some of the questions that Sarah Palin would have for governor or Senator Obama?
I can't think of anything he could teach her.
What, however, could she teach him?
So Senator Obama's first question would be, can you show me the proper and safe way to handle and fire a gun?
And are all NRA members as pretty as you are?
Second question, Obama to Sarah Palin, is hunting scary?
And when you go fishing, you bait your own hooks.
I mean, you could cut your finger doing that.
Do you do it yourself?
Next question, Obama to Sarah Palin.
When you found out your baby would be born with Down syndrome, did you consider killing it before or after the due date?
You mean you had the baby?
You really had the baby?
Question number four.
What's it like to be a governor, Mrs. Palin?
Do you worry that you're going to be held responsible for your decisions?
Question number five, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Did you believe all that garbage that we've said about women at the Democrat convention?
Are you worried that breaking the glass ceiling will just make a big mess?
Question number six from Obama to Sarah Palin, is it fun or scary to ride a snowmobile?
Don't you get cold?
Question number seven, Obama to Sarah Palin, is it scary to live so close to the Russians?
Question number eight, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Your son's in the Army.
Did you teach him how to shoot guns?
Question number nine, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Since you're a former sports broadcaster, if I bet on a football game, can I call you for advice?
Question number 10, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Come on, tell me the truth.
Can we really drill for oil and not destroy the planet?
Al Gore says we're destroying the planet, but your husband works in that business.
Can we really drill for oil and not destroy the planet?
Well, I don't know what Sarah Palin would ask Obama.
Well, she wouldn't want a sweetheart mortgage.
That's the thing.
Governor Obama.
Could you tell me how to get a sweetheart mortgage or maybe get some crook friend to sell me a little strip of his land below market?
She wouldn't ask that question.
Obama did.
She might reference it in a debate if it comes up.
All right, to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
Dave in Fort Worth, Texas.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
Hello.
First of all, I'll say, wow.
Second of all, I'll say Sarah Palin did not even sound like she had anything written down.
It sounded like it came straight from the heart and the head.
And third, I haven't been that inspired by a woman since a young Elizabeth Dole.
Yeah, it's interesting.
I didn't think about it in terms of the last time I was inspired by a woman, but everything else you said is correct.
I mean, she was well-spoken.
She was articulate, genuine.
You know, this is the thing.
I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but we got, you know, our women, they wear skirts.
She went out there in a skirt today, and she had a story that was genuine.
It wasn't about promises and platitudes.
It was about achievements and qualifications.
The difference here is just striking between the two ultra-leftists that the Democrats have put forward and Obama, really a radical leftist, and the McCain-Sarah Palin team.
John, in Mondelen, Illinois, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
After 18 months of telling us that Barack Obama is not experienced enough, even though Barack Obama was a state senator here in Illinois for seven years and co-sponsored, I think, 830 pieces of legislation.
Yeah, 135 times.
But the thing I haven't heard you say yet with this pick by John McCain, and I really hope you can say it, I want you to tell us all that you really believe that someone who has been the governor of Alaska for less than two years is prepared because she's a pretty member of the NRA and is anti-abortion to be the president of the United States if 73-year-old John McCain can't fulfill his duties.
Certainly.
I don't have any doubt about it.
Sarah Palin's been on my short list for a long time.
She is more qualified than Barack Obama.
Barack Obama's wrong about everything.
Let's talk about qualifications that have nothing to do with length of time or where you've been.
Obama is a far leftist who wants to change the foundation of this country.
Obama represents a dangerous future that contradicts the things that have made this country great.
She can surround herself with like-minded people who have experience.
The idea that he is more qualified on foreign policy than she is, he's been in a U.S. Senate for 140 working days.
He has never chaired one committee, had one meeting of that subcommittee foreign policy committee that he chairs.
He has never held one meeting.
He has not done one thing to qualify himself to be president of the United States other than acquire various offices.
But once he's gotten to these offices, he hasn't done anything with it.
The real insult here in this whole campaign is that Obama is qualified.
That's the insult.
And why?
In his own words, in his own words last night, he's qualified because he's a member of the party of FDR and JFK.
Notice he didn't mention Harry Truman because that would have inspired mushroom clouds.
But he's a member of the Democrat Party.
That qualifies him.
And he's been to 57 states.
That qualifies him.
And you got Joe Biden on the ticket who's been wrong about more foreign policy decisions than he's been right.
That qualifies him.
So, yeah, you guys up Creek here on this whole business of qualifications and experience if you really want to go there.
And I hope you do because I think it's a rope-dope issue.
Because what you're going to end up with is not a comparison between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama in terms of experience.
You're going to end up with a comparison between John McCain and Barack Obama because it is McCain at the top of the ticket.
And you guys are going to run around.
You're going to start talking about, oh, well, he may not be able to fulfill the duties of his office.
We all know what you mean by that.
But we are going to have excellent faith in Mrs. Palin.
You wait till these debates start.
You wait till she gets out there in public.
She is going to impress.
She is already frightened.
I'm sure they're in dire straits in the Obama campaign trying to figure out how to attack her.
And already, if you go to their left-wing blogs, you will find some of the extreme kook fringe out there laughing at her hair and then it's totally unqualified.
Some of it is just obscenely personal, filled with lies, and this kind of thing.
This is a woman who has a family.
By the way, the feminists ought to love this babe.
She's got a toddler and she goes to work.
She has a little baby and she goes to work.
We know the feminists will not like her because she's pro-life.
She has her babies.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to hear just one sound bite from the Obama speech last night.
I have a bunch of them here, but it was just a laundry list of socialist issues.
It's a laundry list of how you're going to be taxed more and more to pay for a whole bunch more stuff filled with absolutely stupid things like getting rid of oil in 10 years.
That's going to come as a shock to the oil markets.
How's he going to shut down the world oil market?
It's just, it's just, it's just childish.
And he's even being criticized for this in the drive-by media, in the print.
Wire guys, AP, they're having a field day with that speech last night.
And I will share some of that with you.
But you can't find any discussion about it today.
It's all been Sarah Palin.
It's all been McCain.
And this is not the way this was supposed to happen.
This was supposed to dominate all the way through the news cycle to the Sunday shows.
So this move by McCain today to keeping this secret, brilliantly conceived, flawlessly executed, just brilliant.
You know the McCain campaign, I have to tell you, the McCain campaign will last, what, six, seven weeks?
They've made a huge turnaround.
And you know what's responsible for it?
Conservatism.
McCain's been playing to the base.
And look what's happened to his poll numbers.
By the way, you know the drive-bys.
And this is sad to say, but these drive-bys are just dying.
They're just in, they can't wait for this Hurricane Gustav to hit wherever it's going to hit in Louisiana.
It's almost sick to see them out there.
And they go, really, this is so unbelievable.
This happened in three years, but it may hit again yet.
Sorry, don't mean to cheer.
Because they want this to illustrate the incompetence of Republicans.
Again, that's going to backfire on them with Governor Jindal down there running things already.
You put a conservative Republican in charge of a state, right and a couple liberal Democrats like Nagan and what was her face, the governor down there, you're going to see the difference if this happens.
But while the drive-bys and the Democrats are keeping a sharp eye out on Hurricane Gustav, category three, Hurricane Sarah struck the Democrats today, made landfall today as a category 10, and global warming had nothing to do with it.
Now this bite from the Obama speech last night, a montage of the Messiah talking about himself.
None, this runs a minute, 17 seconds.
None of these eyes, not one of them is repeated.
I accept your nomination.
I thank you.
I am grateful.
I love you.
I am so proud.
I stood before you.
That's why I stand here.
Tonight I say, I don't know about you.
I'm not ready.
I quote, Americans I know.
I don't believe.
I just think I am standing here.
I see.
I think I listen.
I remember I stood.
I hear.
I think I could.
I know.
I don't know.
I intend.
I will stop.
I will.
I will.
As president, I will.
I'll help.
I'll make.
I'll invest.
Michelle and I. I'll recruit.
I will.
I want I've laid out.
I'll pay.
I'm ready to.
I stood up.
I argued.
I will never hesitate.
I will only.
I will end.
I will rebuild.
I will.
I will.
I look forward.
I will not.
I love.
I know it, but I don't know.
I know.
I get it.
I realize that I believe I've seen it.
I've lived it.
I've seen it.
I make.
I've got news for you.
This election has never been about me.
It's about you.
Oh, this is going to be fun.
And now here is Sarah Palin earlier today listing.
And we've briefly put this together.
This is shorter version of it, but this is Sarah Palin and her accomplishments.
Obama cannot make a speech like this.
I was serving as the team mom and coaching some basketball on the side.
I got involved in the PTA and then was elected to the city council and then elected mayor of my hometown where my agenda was to stop wasteful spending and cut property taxes and put the people first.
I was then appointed ethics commissioner and chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
And when I found corruption there, I fought it hard and I held the offenders to account.
Along with fellow reformers in the great state of Alaska, as governor, I've stood up to the old politics as usual, to the special interests, to the lobbyists, the big oil companies, and the Good Old Boy Network.
When oil and gas prices went up so dramatically and the state revenues followed with that increase, I sent a large share of that revenue directly back to the people of Alaska.
And we are now embarking on a $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
She's doing it.
I signed major ethics reforms and I appointed both Democrats and Independents to serve in my administration.
And I've championed reform to end the abuses of earmarked spending by Congress.
In fact, I told Congress thanks, but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere.
If our state wanted a bridge, I said we'd build it ourselves.
Sarah Palin, babies, guns, Jesus, hot damn.
Back to the phones, Chuck in Oswego, New York.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program, Open Line Friday.
Great to have you here.
Rush, it's great to be here.
Can I paraphrase Michelle Obama real quick?
For the first time in years, I am proud to be a Republican.
Very funny.
That's cool.
I love it, man.
And thank you because you are in a great sense responsible for her being there because you paved the way for conservatism to become mainstream in this country.
Not just you, but the other people that are on the radio, the websites, everything.
You are partly responsible for this, and God bless you for it.
Chuck, thank you very much.
It makes me very happy you say that.
Thank you so much.
I am just so excited about this.
I'll tell you.
I saw a couple weeks ago.
I was so worried, you know, because my nickname for John McCain is the warm beer candidate.
And I was so worried that he was going to go with, you know, a Tom Ridge or Mitt Rodney.
Let me tell you what governor.
Let me tell you what was going on with that.
There are a lot of different factions in the McCain camp.
He made this decision himself, but there are a lot of factions in that camp.
I mean, he surrounds himself with people like Lindsey Gramnesty.
And Gramnesty was the one pushing Lieberman.
Gramnesty thought that would be the bold pick.
Or Ridge.
The McCain camp does not really have any full-fledged right-wingers in it.
There are people that are more conservative than they are moderate, but really right-wingers, they're already there.
So whatever the message was, I was told that McCain, if he really had, if he had a clear sailing and if he wasn't worried about any reaction, he wanted Lieberman.
That's what was put out.
Now, I don't know if that's the Lindsey Graham faction putting that out because all these people were leaking these different names in an attempt to put pressure on McCain to pick them, to run trial balloons on them or what have you.
Well, the bottom line is when it came right down to it, after Biden was chosen, you just knew, and especially if you track the McCain campaign the last six, seven weeks, they've done a 180 and they're focusing on the base.
They're focusing more on conservatism than they have.
They've seen the poll numbers rise.
It just didn't make any sense, especially after the Saddleback Forum to put somebody pro-choice on the ticket.
I don't think it was ever something that was really that close to happening.
I really don't.
They might have been close in the minds of some of McCain's camp, and I think it's probably true that if he could have, he would have.
But he's not that stupid.
He's just not that stupid.
Regardless of the process, regardless how it came out, a great choice here, an absolutely fabulous decision was made here.
And they kept it secret, and they brilliantly executed the whole ceremony today, the whole appearance, knocking coverage of Obama's messianic descent from the heavens last night in Denver.
They just obliterated it.
Obama's nowhere.
He and Biden are opening their campaign in Beaver, Pennsylvania on the day that McCain named Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate.
And besides that, I don't know how few people were here in the first hour, but we decided to jip McCain's announcement ceremony today because it was historic.
What about, talk about historic?
We got history too on our side.
And, you know, you get worried when you start jipping things like this, joining in progress things like this, because there are commercial breaks.
This is a business.
And it's not just our commercial breaks, the local affiliates.
And you can, in a dire straits emergency, you can blow them out, but you have to make them good at some point.
And that becomes a, you know, it's an organizational problem and a logistics problem.
So we were keeping our fingers crossed today that we could cover and jip the McCain-Sarah Palin announcement ceremony and still hit our spot breaks.
And damned, if it didn't work, McCain hit the spot break at the bottom of the first hour perfectly.
He didn't start the ceremony till after our first spot break in the first hour.
And he got the announcement done in the second segment.
And then Sarah Palin hit the spot break in the second half hour.
They kept to the format.
They hit the format like professionals.
Like the professionals I know that they are.
We are back, Rush Limbos, serving humanity.
And once again, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have behind the golden EIB microphone here on Open Line Friday.
All right, here's the, let's see, who's Mary in Las Vegas?
You're next on the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
What a perfect ending to the Democrats Convention.
I just, I am so excited about this woman.
I jotted some things down as I listened to her speech.
She's smart.
She spoke from her heart.
She's compassionate.
Authentic.
She's attractive, not in a superficial Hollywood way.
She's just an attractive woman.
She's experienced.
She's tough.
She was comfortable in front of the audience.
She was very easy to listen to.
I'm just like, I think McCain hit it out of the park with this, and I'm just so excited about it.
A lot of people are.
I think it's justified.
I agree with you.
It's great because she's not shrill.
Right.
She's not going to remind anybody of their ex-wife.
She's going to remind men, gee, I wish she was single.
Exactly.
So it's good.
It's good all the way around.
I'm glad you called.
Thanks, Mary, very much.
Homer, where?
Somebody from Homer, Alaska.
This is Martin.
Martin, great to have you on the program.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing today?
Fine, sir.
Great, sir.
Oh, I'm just absolutely excited to be on the phone with you.
We are all so excited about Governor Palin being picked.
We are ecstatic.
Goosebumps.
Yeah, so are the Democrats, but not the way you do.
I wonder if Chris Matthews has a tingle going up his leg as he listens.
He just might.
Sarah Palin.
Yeah, she's done so many great things here, Rush.
So many great things.
Well, I know.
Which one are you speaking of?
Well, just recently, she passed a thing where, you know how we get our dividends here every year?
Yeah.
Yes, we know that.
Yeah, she added a $1,200 energy bonus on there.
Because of the gas prices.
Oh, yeah.
And our gas prices are way higher than anywhere down in the lower 48.
What do you pay?
What are you paying up there in Homer?
It's $4.76 a gallon.
Has it come down any in the last month or so?
It came down about 10 cents.
You can find it for $3.50 in certain parts of the United States.
Oh, yeah.
No, and, you know, there's so many people here that heat their homes with propane.
And that's the big one right there because you're looking at for, you know, 100 gallons, you know, you're looking at, you know, $400, almost $500 for 100 gallons.
And most people are using over, you know, close to 1,000 gallons of propane a year.
Well, she mentioned this.
I mean, she didn't mention numbers, but she mentioned this bonus program in her remarks with Senator McCain.
It was great to hear from you, Martin.
Thank you very much.
Who's next?
Where are we going to go next on the EIB network and open line Friday?
14-year-old Danielle in Seminole, Texas.
Hi, Danielle.
Hi, Mr. Limbaugh.
Thanks for having me on the show.
It's my pleasure.
Glad that you're called.
Well, I was calling about something Hillary said during her speech at the Democratic Convention, and she mentioned a couple times that John McCain was your friend, but she never actually mentioned that she liked Barack Obama, except that he should be president.
So you've got to wonder where her allegiance lies.
Where do you think her allegiance lies?
Well, I think she may have, well, she has a really good speechwriter, so you can't be quite sure whether she really does or does not want Barack to be president, because you've got to be sure that she's mad at him for not picking her as a VP.
Well, you know, I think the Clintons are patient people, but time is running out.
Right.
And nothing that happens with the Clintons is a coincidence.
And the Clintons are the kind of people that hold grudges and take notes.
And while she made it appear that it wasn't any big deal that she didn't get vetted, believe me, it was, that she wasn't even considered for this.
This is something that she's boiling mad and she cannot be happy today, seeing what the Republicans did.
Especially since Governor Palin is now going to be the vice president for the Republicans.
Exactly, exactly.
Now, let me ask you one question, Danielle.
Yes.
You've correctly, I think, assessed Mrs. Clinton's view of Obama.
Given that Mrs. Clinton probably has further political aspirations, do you think that she even will vote for Obama?
I don't know.
I would probably say no, considering that he didn't even consider her for the vice presidency.
So I've got to say that she's probably got a really big grudge going there.
Not only that, the worst thing for Mrs. Clinton's further future political aspirations, Danielle, would be for Obama to win this.
Right.
So, yeah.
Where did you, you're very smart and very informed for 14.
Well, thank you.
I listen to your show all the time.
My dad's had it on since I was like seven, and I'm homeschooled.
So whenever you're on, I'm like, Dad, can you turn on Mr. Limbaugh?
So.
Well, that's fabulous.
That makes me so happy to know that you're out there in the audience and homeschooled your rush baby.
That makes me excitedly happy.
Danielle, thank you for calling.
Thank you very much for having me.
You bet.
Nice to talk to you, too.
We'll be right back after this.
Stay with us.
I had a fantasy.
I knew, folks, it wasn't going to happen.
But I would have loved for this to happen.
When Sarah Palin finished her remarks today with Senator McCain, and they were about to leave the stage to greet the throng that was proud of their party for the first time in a long time, I would have loved for Senator McCain to say, all right, Governor Palin and I are hitting the campaign trail now.
