Time Text
And we are back.
Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Great to be with you, as always, my friends.
This is already Wednesday.
I feel like it was just yesterday I was in Hawaii, which was in August, playing golf.
I just noticed the other day that it's getting darker earlier out there.
Time is flying.
It's zipping by here left and right.
We are here chronicling all of it.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program email address, lrushbow at eibnet.com.
New York Post, page six today.
Which admittedly is a gossip column, but nevertheless, the headline, Sarah's Lectures, a Tough Sell.
Now, this sort of dovetails with what I was telling you yesterday, that Democrats in the media will always tell us who they fear.
They'll always tell us who they're really, really worried about.
And they are on a mission that is unstoppable to destroy this woman and her family.
Sarah Palin is said to have pocketed a $7 million advance for the 400-page memoir.
She turned in four months early, but she might not have such an easy time on a lecture circuit.
After quitting as governor of Alaska in July, Palin signed with top-notch Washington Speakers Bureau.
Palin's bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells page six, the big lecture buyers in the U.S. are paralyzed with fear about booking her basically because they think she's a blithering idiot.
Really, is that right?
The people that signed her, the people that represent her?
The big lecture buyers, paralyzed with fear about booking her, they think she's a blithering idiot.
Many big lecture venues are subscription series.
They don't want to tick people off, said one source.
Palin's polarizing.
Some subscribers might cancel if she's on the lineup.
Other lecture buyers are universities which have a leftist slant and corporations which dislike controversy.
Palin is so uninteresting to so many people unless they're interested in moose hunting, said our insider.
What does she have to say?
She can't even describe what she reads.
Palin likely quit as governor just months after losing the election as McCain's VEEP running mate because of money.
She knew that if she waited until her term ended in 2010, these opportunities would be gone.
She'd have lost millions by staying in office.
Now, her book, 400 pages, she admits that she's got a ghostwriter.
Obama did not admit that he had a ghostwriter.
And it's beginning to look like he did.
The American thinker has run two pieces now on how Bill Ayers wrote Dreams of My Father or Memories of a Drug, whatever.
One of the two books, there have been examinations in the styles, and Obama had failed at writing anything prior to that.
We've never seen anything else he's written with those two books.
And there have been a lot of people doing research into this.
The American People's published a couple stories about it recently.
But nevertheless, Palin's book is number three on Amazon.
Amazon writing hadn't even been printed.
Number three on Amazon.
It hadn't even gone to press yet.
She turned it in four months early.
And we get this story in page six.
What a blithering idiot.
Nobody wants to book Palin for a lecture series.
Well, they did in Hong Kong.
And it was a, from everything that read about it, it was a gang bang-up speech.
They're just paranoid of this woman.
Here's Andrew Sullivan at theatlantic.com.
400 pages in four months.
That's Sarah Palin's achievement for Jonathan Burnham, who runs the marketing company HarperCollins.
Several questions naturally arise.
Did she actually write those 400 pages?
Please.
She wrote that book as thoroughly as she wrote her speech in Hong Kong.
The book was written by a hardcore Christianist, the speech by a hardcore neocon.
She remains the hood ornament for a marketing campaign that now passes for the conservative movement.
The title itself lets us know that if anybody harbored any doubts about her own view of the disastrous campaign, she's immensely proud of it.
Meanwhile, we're being told how brilliantly smart Barack Obama is.
Even Gore Vidal said, Yeah, I thought he's going to be intelligent.
He was really intelligent.
As though that is the number one deciding factor.
On what basis did anybody think he's intelligent?
Because he sounds it.
I remember back in the early days of this program, we had a sponsor called Verbal Advantage, and it was a program that was designed to increase your vocabulary.
And I remember one of the ways I used to sell this program to people in an on-air commercial was your vocabulary can go a long way in masking your ignorance.
The more words you know, the better able you are to use them, the more intelligent you are going to sound to people, whether you are or aren't.
We've got more intelligent, stupid people in this country, and Obama is one of them.
He has risen to every height he has risen to in the greatest country on earth, a country that he resents.
There's nothing smart about what Obama is doing.
He's a pure product of brainwashing.
His mentors, who hated this country, one of them even tried to blow up the Pentagon, proud of it.
His other mentor, this black liberationist preacher, ginning up hatred for this country for 20 years while Obama sits there and listens to it while telling us he never heard it.
You know, Obama also claimed to have a health care bill, and he claimed to have written his Dreams of My Father autobiography.
This dreams issue: who wrote his book is now being discussed openly.
American thinkers had two pieces in the past two days that hammer away on the deception that he wrote the book.
It was Ayers, Bill Ayers, many people conclude, who wrote the book.
And who's Bill Ayers?
Radical, communist, domestic terrorist.
None of these descriptions denied by Ayers, by the way.
In fact, Professor Ayers is proud of this trifecta of anti-Americanism.
British and Canadian writers are picking up on the fact that Obama did not write the book Obama boasts he has written with his own hand.
Bill Ayers wasn't just a guy in the neighborhood.
This was a significant and easily proven lie, apparently.
So this is a fraud.
It's a telling and it's an important fraud.
And it goes back to the heart of the Obama myth, which was reignited by Christopher Anderson's new bestseller, Barack and Michelle, Portrait of an American Marriage.
Anderson's book inadvertently continued the erosion of the myth of Obama.
The one is not who or what he says he is.
He lies.
Obama claims he has a gift.
He does.
But it isn't the gift of original thought or creating win-win solutions for partisans.
Barack Obama is a gifted liar.
Like all community agitators are.
Community organizing is a lie.
The amount of time Barack, I have a gift Obama has been on TV, has not advanced his planned takeover of health care because Obama doesn't possess a gift like he promised to Harry Reid.
To get this health care passed, they're going to have to do it despite us.
His gift at selling and having people, oh, I have a gift, Harry.
If Obama genuinely had a gift, 80% of America would be clamoring for health care.
They would want it now.
He doesn't have it.
He's got the same gift that Bernie Madoff had.
An ability to tell and sell a convincing lie and an unyielding authoritarian determination to advance greedy, power-grabbing lies that ultimately destroy people's lives.
Just like his healthcare bill, he does not have a healthcare bill.
He cannot produce one that he has written.
And apparently, he doesn't have an autobiography that he's written either.
If Christopher Anderson and others who've looked into this are correct, let's see.
I get these Roman Polanski stories.
Here's Release Polanski.
Demands petition by film industry luminaries.
This is from The Guardian in UK.
Woody Allen, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese add their names to a petition urging the immediate release of the director from detention in Zurich, Woody Allen, who at one time was a poster boy for Democrat Social Policy.
But there's another name added to this in addition to Scorsese and Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar.
Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are backing Roman Polanski up.
Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, David Lunch, Pedro Almodovar, and John Landis are among those who have signed a petition objecting to the fugitive filmmakers' arrest.
Well, let's see who are some of we know about Woody Allen.
His credentials regarding this kind of thing are pretty well known.
Pedro Almodovar, breakthrough movie 1984, What Have I Done to Deserve This, was a comedy in which a mother sells her 12-year-old son to a homosexual dentist as a sex slave.
This is a guy who has signed on to free Roman Polanski.
He's openly gay.
His first film, Mr. Almodovar's first film in 1978, entitled, well, I don't know how to pronounce it, F-O-L-L-E-F-O-L-E, but it's the F-bomb.
F-bomb, F-bomb, F-bomb, F-bomb at me, Tim.
So here you have two moral paragons, Woody Allen and Pedro Almodovar.
Maybe they could get on Polanski's jury if he is going to get a jury of his peers.
Is it any wonder that liberal women are miserable?
They think all their liberal guys are like Alan Alda, and instead they're out there drugging and raping 13-year-olds, and then other liberal men come to their rescue, come to their defense.
And don't forget, it is us on the right, the evil, vast right-wing conspiracy.
We're the sexists.
We are the racists and bigots, they say.
The American people are noticing.
The American people are noticing the perversion, the hypocrisy, the untruths, the lies, the misrepresentation.
This is not the culture the American people thought they were voting for.
Way back when.
Your phone calls coming up, El Quicko, on the Barnes and Noble website.
Sarah Palin's book is not set to be released for more than seven weeks, but it is shot to number one at Barnes Noble.
That puts it atop Dan Brown's new book and a book by Mitch Album.
Number three on Amazon.
And a book is not out for seven weeks.
Folks, this is going to drive, you know, the book publishing industry is notoriously weak.
It's going to drive everybody baddie.
I said yesterday, I got some snarky note for you.
Hey, you're going to feel right when she gets my, but can you, I hope she sells 5 million copies because I want to see lunatics jump off the cliff.
I think they just can't stand it.
All right.
Susan in Glendale, California.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, it's a huge honor for me to speak to you, and I hope I can keep my voice level because I am so passionate.
I am as passionate as you are about this country.
I'm a conservative.
I've listened to you for 25 years.
I'm married.
I have seven kids.
And when you were telling me about all of the shenanigans that they're going to do in the Senate to pass two different Senate bills, then slam them together, attach them to some House bill about TARP, and then jam it through and damn it down our throats, I got furious.
And then I listened to what you said about the Michigan mom who was watching some kids before they went to school and how the Michigan state came down on her, accusing her of running an illegal daycare.
And you're right.
What they're going to do is they're going to threaten our health and they're going to threaten the health of our children.
If I don't comply with their health care, I'm not going to be able to get my children the medicine they need.
No, never mind.
It's not if you don't comply with their health care.
It's not if you're a good citizen in support of the liberals running the country.
Yes, sir, and I'm not.
I'm a conservative.
You know what?
I'm 45.
I might fall and break my hip in the next 10 years.
They're going to have to give me a shot because they're not going to want me to be healed.
And they're going to do this to my children.
It's like you said, they are the party of abortion.
They are the party of euthanasia.
They are trying to wipe out senior citizens who are maybe not as useful to the Democrat National Committee as they should be.
We're not contributing enough to them.
And I am outraged and furious.
And my question to you, because I'm a political nobody.
I'm just out here on the left coast in la-la land watching all the liberals run our California state bankrupt.
What can we do legally, morally, to take this country back?
I want people to stand up and I want them to vote these criminals, these pedophiles out of office.
I want them to take back the state of California and make it a golden state.
And I want them to take back Washington.
But we're little people and we march, two million of us, down to Washington.
And the press, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, not one of them shows pictures on the news.
Not one of them will report anything.
In fact, they cover it up.
I've talked to so many people on the phone, just neighbors who are liberal and some of our conservative both sides.
And I tell them these things.
Go to Fox News.
Look at this.
No one sees the truth because the travesty of all of this, part of this is politics is normal.
I understand.
It's two-party.
We're going to fight and tussle over what's right and wrong.
And then, you know, we're going to win some, lose some.
The damning thing today is that the press, the press is betraying us.
And we have no way, this us, we, the little political mom, nobodies, I'm a mother, and I have no one to listen to to go to on the news except for you and Fox.
Tell us what we can do in 2010 other than voting for Sarah Palin, which I will do.
But I need to know, because I don't have much hope.
I sure don't have hope from Obama.
I need hope from Rush.
And I want you to please tell us what we can do, because this is the life of my children.
They're on the line.
They can put me out to pasture.
But yes, they've got me over a barrel because I will do anything to save the life of my children.
If it means I've got to kiss some big Democrat's rear end to get the health care for my baby, I'll have to do it.
And that sickens me because they're my employees.
I'm paying their salaries.
I'm paying for their fancy office of doctors down at what you were talking about at the House of Representatives in the Senate.
They just get to walk in, pay $503.
And they get all the health care that they need for $503.
Specialists flown in.
The pharmacy right there on their hour, probably open 24 hours a day.
Nobody has to wait.
They get that because I'm paying for it.
I'm paying for it.
It's coming out of my children's allowances, my grocery money.
They are getting it.
And they're taking it without listening, without representing us.
Like you said, the small are.
I'm not being represented.
I've called Boxer's Office.
I've called Adam Schiff, who's my so-called representative.
They are very polite to the little people on the phone.
But the people who are running this country don't listen to us.
There are millions of us, and we are all furious.
And no one, no one is even reporting what is being said.
And I'm watching my country that I love, that my father fought for in World War II, that my father-in-law was wounded and got the purple heart for.
And I'm watching it just being taken just like candy for a baby.
Oh, we'll help you.
We'll give you health care.
Here's a lollipop.
Go away.
And nobody's doing anything.
I'm sorry to be so angry, but I need hope, and I need to know how to counteract these shenanigans.
This is not what we put people in government for, is to run little bitty side bills, smash them together, and then vote them under the carpet into a different health care bill that's languishing in some committee that they haven't voted on.
That's dirty politics, and it shouldn't be happening.
It should be up and down votes.
And you're right.
The 63 new judges coming on, that's going to cement, that's going to absolutely cement their ability to write law instead of legislate.
They can just send it to the judges.
The judges will rubber stamp it.
We'll have liberal judges.
We'll just write the law.
Never mind conservatism.
Never mind reading what the law actually says.
And I look at this.
I see this happening every day.
I'm listening to you.
And I'm to the point where I don't even know if I can listen anymore.
Because I'm so passionate, and I'm so furious to watch all this and to hear it all happening.
And I feel so powerless for the first time in my life.
I'm glad Mrs. Obama is proud of her country for the first time in her life.
I, as a mother, as a nobody, I am ashamed of my government for the first time in my life.
And I need to know how to combat this, especially in 2010.
What can I do today, now, to help to revitalize these Nambi-Pamby liberal conservatives, rhinos in our Senate and in our government who are just voting to get along and they want to get re-elected?
That's nonsense.
They're not standing up for what is good and clean and right.
They're not standing up for our Constitution.
They should be all thrown out, every last one of them.
And I don't know how to mobilize people, but you do, Rush.
You do.
You have the power.
And with great gifts, God gives great responsibility.
And I beg you, please, please give us hope and lead us because this cannot stand.
They cannot keep doing this.
This is wrong.
And we're back.
We still have Susan on the line from Glendale, California.
And Susan, I was under no inclination to interrupt you or stop you even when we got to the segment end.
No, no, no, don't apologize.
Just the exact opposite.
You summarized my first hour in 10 minutes.
Well, I like to listen to you.
You're great, and you always give us the facts.
Well, but you asked me what you could do.
Yes.
One thing you have to realize, you just did it.
The passion and the emotion that you brought without one stutter.
Well.
You didn't lose your train of thought.
There was not one stutter.
And I guarantee you, the people in this, the largest radio audience in the country, are all out there standing up and cheering on their feet.
Now, I know what can you do?
You know what, Rush?
I did it without a teleprompter or notes.
Or a writer.
You didn't have a ghostwriter.
No, I didn't.
I have a three-year-old son, but he can't do this.
But I didn't use a teleprompter, and I know what I'm saying, which is I'm sorry more than perhaps I can say for some of the people who are running our country.
And it insults my intelligence.
I walked away.
I walked away from a very good job at a law firm.
I'm educated.
I have a law degree.
And I did it because I was promoted by God to be a mother of seven.
And I'm giving everything I've got to them.
And the one thing I cannot give them, absent help from good people all over this country, I can't give them the American way of life.
I can't give them freedom.
I can't give them that.
I can teach them.
And that's all I can do.
But everybody's got to stand up.
And you know what?
Why don't you make 2010 the worst nightmare ever for the Democrats?
Pick up the phone, call Sarah Palin, and you two run.
Run in 2010.
Rush and Sarah.
Do it.
They would go nuts.
You talk about, I know you couldn't do your show every day.
And I know there are not enough Democratic, I'm sorry, Democrat women like Pelosi in the Senate to give you your 30 minutes of aerobic activity because there's no boobs to Ogle like you were telling about that German, that German history lesson.
I mean, that finding that 10 minutes of breast ogling helps men.
But we'll get you a treadmill in there.
I'm sure the White House will have a treadmill.
It's got a basketball court now and other things in an organic garden.
We'll get you set up.
We'll keep you healthy.
Maybe we could, once you judge the Miss America contest, maybe you could do that every year and that would give you a good cardiovascular burst.
And you could go ahead and run the country for four years.
But we got to do something.
Well, one thing I want to tell you here is you are not alone.
I know you feel it.
You said it.
You feel you're just a little person out there on the left coast and you're overwhelmed by all this.
But I think you should try to understand that the majority of people who pay attention to this stuff in the country are with you on this.
Their frustration is identically yours.
Yes, but they don't know how to mobilize, to do it, to stop it.
They're going to have this health care bill rammed down our throat.
Wait a second now.
I think they do.
People have been mobilizing on their own.
That's one of the great things about all these tea parties and the other things been going on is there's not an identifiable leader saying, go here, do that.
I want you to show up.
I want you.
People are doing it on their own, of their own volition, their own emotion, because they're just like you.
They don't want to lose the country.
They don't want to see it taken over.
They don't want to see it destroyed this way, especially for their children and grandchildren.
And there are more of you than you know.
Now, this healthcare thing, you know, you keep talking about 2010.
If they're able to ram this through in the next couple of weeks or the next couple of months, 2010 is going to be nothing but punishment.
Now, the one thing to keep in mind here, the one thing to keep in mind is, I'm actually wrong about that.
I need to take that back.
This bill is not going to be implemented until 2013.
Right.
So 2010 is crucial.
That's where the real change is going to come, and that's throwing these Democrats out as many as possible.
Yes.
Now, there's two things that I want to say to you here.
The reason that 2013 is the year is because everybody in charge of this plan, from Obama to Reid Pelosi, all the Democrats know full well there's going to be a revolt.
Yes, I know they know this.
They're just trying to lock it in anyway because they want to secure their power.
But 2012 is Obama's reelection year.
2013, it gets implemented.
If it got implemented before 2012, Obama would be beaten in a landslide, and he still may be, Acorn notwithstanding.
Yes.
The second thing here about all of these things that are happening, and you feel powerless to do anything about it, I think what's happening throughout the country is an illustration that people are not powerless.
This passion, this emotion that you represent here today that is felt by millions will have and is going to have an outlet.
These techniques, the things that are being tried by the Democrats here are so against the decency ingrain of the vast majority of the people of this country that they're not going to put up with it.
I know.
That's offensive.
It's back to politics as usual.
It's not just the, okay, we win some, we lose some.
And this is underhanded, dirty dealing.
Okay, we're going to vote for one bill, but we're going to switch it.
We're going to edit it out.
It's like a computer.
You just zap it out and you stick something in, but the vote doesn't get edited.
It's virtual bills.
We just get to change it.
It's outrageous.
If I did this in a job, I would be fired.
And yet they keep doing it.
And we've got to hold them accountable.
And they trust me, believe me, they will be.
I know you're right.
That's why I listen to you every day I can.
I will tell you when it's time to panic.
And it isn't time to panic.
Panic doesn't lead to productive action.
True.
I'll tell you when it's time to.
What you're feeling right now is not even panic.
Well, you're just outraged.
You are outraged and you want a positive channel for it.
Yes, I do.
I want a positive way to affect and reclaim this country and to protect my children.
Now, give them a good life.
Here's the second thing that I want to warn everybody against with all this passion.
Because in this mix, you and I haven't discussed the Republican Party, have we?
No, we haven't.
Well, let's do that for just a second because it's crucial.
While your rage, your outrage is properly directed at the architects of this disaster, the Democrat Party.
At the same time, we don't really see a lot of rage from our own elected representatives, do we?
This is one of the reasons why we're mad.
Because they're not outrageous.
They don't say anything.
They don't do anything.
If you can call this radio show and in 10 minutes, without one stutter, lay out the very dire threats that face this country, why in the hell can't professional politicians stand up and say the same thing and take action to stop it?
And that's really the level of your frustration.
So now, here's where this is going to lead.
If we're not careful, this is going to lead people to start saying, we need a third party.
The Republican Party.
Hear me out.
It's going to lead to people saying both parties are the same.
There's no difference.
Republicans and Democrats.
What we have to focus on here is taking back the Republican Party.
I think there is enough rage right now, and if it sustains itself, and it will.
Obama's not going to stop any of this garbage, and the Democrats are not going to stop.
So it will sustain itself.
And we have to take back the party and revitalize it with true conservatism.
Exactly.
That's what has to happen.
But at some point, just voting against people is not enough.
It will be enough in 2010.
But who are we going to elect in place of them?
Where are the candidates going to come from?
I'm talking particularly now the House and the Senate.
I mean, you talked about the rhinos in the Senate, and there are a lot of them.
And they're scared to death of the media in Washington.
They're scared to death of being called racists.
They're scared to death of having happen to them what happens to Sarah Palin.
They're scared to death of having happen to them what happened to Joe Wilson.
So they've got their own fear they have to overcome.
They don't understand that they've got an army of people willing to, even after all the campaign contributions Joe Wilson got, they still don't see there's an army of people willing to back them up if they would just lead.
There's an army of people.
I'm going to sent Joe Wilson money the minute he did it, the very night that he said, you lie, I sent that guy money.
And when he refused to apologize for a second time, when he'd already apologized personally to President Obama, and when he refused to do it again for the House and the Senate, I sent him more money.
G'ne.
And that's what we've got to do.
We've got to back the people who are being leaders, and then we've got to kick out the ones who aren't.
But we can't do a third party.
We can't do a Tea Party because we'll be locked in with the Democrats.
They'll run the show because we'll keep splitting the vote for 30 years.
Kennae.
Exactly right.
That's going to lead to permanent victory for Democrats.
I know.
How do you tell people this?
How do you say, whatever you do, conservative and get the Republican Party back?
Okay, we're always going to have peroistas.
Yes.
But all you got to say to them, hey, have you ever heard of Bill Clinton?
Yeah.
Have you ever heard of Bill Clinton?
So look at, that's something coming in the future.
But there's a, you know, this notion that both parties are the same and we've got to throw them all out.
Unrealistic.
They're not the same.
There's no way that any Republican would be authoring any of the things the Democrats are authoring right now.
I know.
There is simply no way.
But there is no room for cowards in government.
Not right now.
The country's at stake.
If you're going to be in government, you've got to play.
The country's at stake.
You're right.
This is not about the traditional back and forth of policy arguments and we come to an agreement at the end of the day and we compromise and so forth.
This is about the future of the country.
So I understand your frustration.
Believe me, I feel it too.
And you're asking me, what can you do?
We're all asking ourselves that.
You know, what can we do?
People are marching.
People are showing up in public.
You're calling all these people's offices.
I think it's a waste of your time, by the way, to call Boxer.
I think right now, if you're going to call anybody, call Harry Reid's office.
I don't care whether they talk to you or not.
Flood them.
Shut them down.
Email faxes.
Just shut them down.
Call Harry Reid's Nevada office.
He's worried about 2010 reelection.
Harry Reid's about to have happen to him what happened to Tom Daschell.
You call Harry Reid.
Don't waste your time on Pelosi.
Call Stenny Hoyer.
Call some of these other little blue dogs and moderates and so forth.
Because I'll tell you, these people, their political futures are up for grabs as well.
The Blue Dog Democrats in the House.
But Harry Reid, this is, he's the guy that's the architect, along with Obama, of the shenanigans going on in the Senate right now.
And by the way, she spelled it out perfectly.
If you didn't hear the first hour, she gave you the summary of it pretty well of how they're planning to attach two Senate health care bills to a House bill that the Senate has not yet acted on taxing bonuses.
And they're basically going to attach a hybrid health care bill to the Senate version of the tax on bonuses bill and send that back to the House and have them vote on that with health care, single-payer, public option healthcare being an amendment to a bill on taxing bonuses.
And then he send that right up to Obama.
Now, Susan, that's not guaranteed.
For this to happen, Pelosi and the House have to go along with whatever Harry Reid sends them and not amend it and not add to it or take away from it.
And you know, time the Congressional Black Caucus and some of the wacko leftists in the House get a look at the Senate bill.
If it doesn't have all the giveaways in it that they want, it could get screwed up.
But this is the attempt going on.
And this is how it would be done with 51 votes instead of 60, which is required in the Senate.
All of this is a tantamount admission that the American people don't want it.
It's a tantamount admission.
They cannot pass it with public support.
And what that means is that they are scheming against the American people.
The enemy of this government is not Muammar Gaddafi.
The enemy of this government is not Mahmoud Ahmadine Zad.
The enemy of this country is not Osama bin Laden.
The enemy of this country is the American people.
The enemy of the Democrat Party right now and getting what they want is the American people.
And that's who they're scheming against.
And you know that too, and that's why you're outraged.
This is not supposed to be a banana republic.
This is supposed to be a representative republic with a small R, and they're obliterating it.
They've been working at this for 50 years or more.
Their dreams have come true, but they're overreaching.
And they're getting so much public opposition now that they're trying to figure out how to get past it and get done what they want and still maintain their power.
I got to go, Susan.
Thanks for a great call.
We'll be back in a sec.
All right.
But internal message here to Coco up at the website.
Coco, I want you to put the audio and the transcript of Susan from Glendale on the free side of the website tonight.
She's in, I can't rally a nation.
I can't run it.
Susan, you just did.
My email's going nuts in here.
Thank you for letting her go on without interrupting her.
Nobody else would do that.
That's because I am a highly trained broadcast professional.
By the way, folks, it's cold season and you don't want one.
And there's a way to prevent your cold from being as bad as it can be.
It's called Zycam Cold Remedy, a variety of forms and flavors.
You get over your cold faster, but you got to use it.
The minute you think you're getting a scratchy throat or a hacking cough, the minute you think you're getting a cough, go out and get Zycam cold remedy.
It doesn't just mask the symptoms.
It reduces the time that you are sick.
Zycam is new.
They got a new cold remedy plus line.
It comes in a liqualized form that reduces the duration of a cold.
There are lozenges.
There's a number of other things.
It's the same old Zycam, just in a new form, and it works.
That's the great thing about it.
With Zycam, you can be at your best because Zycam equals I can.
I swear by this stuff.
And it does work.
You catch it in time.
You'll reduce the duration.
Quickly, Teresa in Ithaca, New York.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Rush, what a pleasure it is to talk to you.
I've been listening to you since day one, and it is absolutely a pleasure this afternoon to get through.
I just wanted to thank you, as I understand you've gotten many, many emails already, for letting Susan speak her mind because her heartfelt sentiments are just echoing across the country, and it's nice to hear somebody who was so eloquent in what she had to say and to also understand her frustration because so many of us are feeling the same way.
Exactly right.
And it would be great if every Republican member of Congress in the Senate could hear that call.
We might find a way to make that happen.
But it'll be on the free site at rushlimbaugh.com when we update this afternoon.
Joe Wilson was right.
The Democrats just now have just voted down a photo ID requirement for immigrant health care.
Just like they vote down a photo ID to vote.
Joe Wilson was right.
Chill, folks.
21 hours.
We'll be back.
Rev it up.
Kick it off all over again.
Look forward to seeing you then.
