Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right 99.7% of the time.
It's because we explore, we find, and then we proclaim the truth relentlessly.
Unstoppable.
And when we proclaim the truth, it irritates a lot of people, which is half the fun of doing this.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, the email address lrushbo at eibnet.com.
So I took a gander at the Rush 24-7 email.
And I'm stunned at how fatalistic people are.
I am stunned at how negative, defeatist, and you wouldn't believe the number.
Rush, she's right.
We don't have a ground game to keep up with their fraud.
You got to tell people to get out there every day.
What have I been doing?
You ever heard of Freedom Works, the Freedom Connector?
How many times I've practically said in my sleep, you want to do more than vote?
Do you want to, people always ask me this.
How many times have I talked about this?
You want to do more than vote?
You want to answer phones?
You want to get together with people in your neighborhood, in your community who want to do more?
You want to find out who they are?
Go to the Freedom Works website, freedomconnector.com.
Largest Tea Party group out there doing everything they can to get people involved.
I have told people repeatedly, when you see somebody standing in line at grocery stores, somebody you don't know, tell them to vote.
Tell them who to vote for.
Tell them why.
I just happen to believe that optimism is a much better way to inspire and motivate people than fatalism is.
I can just tell you this.
When I'm around a bunch of defeated fatalists, I turn it off and I run the other way.
I don't want any part of it.
I don't even want to talk to them.
I don't want them dragging me down to wherever it is they live.
See, Ronald Reagan.
How did Ronald Reagan motivate?
What is it said about Reyar?
He was constantly negative, constantly fatalistic.
He was always warning people.
The thing about Reagan, he was optimistic.
He had good cheer.
Yeah, well, these are different times, Rush.
Yeah, there are times, different times.
There are times.
But there are certain aspects of human nature that don't change.
I'm also not going to look good news in the face and not believe it.
I just don't do this.
I'm not a person that is afraid of success.
I never have been.
I'm not somebody that says that success happening to me is not deserved and then proceed to destroy it.
And I'm also not dishonest.
So I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I think all is lost until I think it is.
But I'll read you some of the email.
I can't believe how many people think it's over.
We have no chance.
Because of all the fraud, because of the media, because how much they're going to cheat.
The Democrats are so much better than we are.
The Republican establishment's not in the game.
They don't care.
It's only the Tea Party.
How did 2010 happen?
There was nobody organizing anything in 2010.
How did it happen?
Bunch of people who weren't going to put up with it anymore.
I think you'd be amazed at the number of self-starters there are in this country.
One thing that's always amazed me about people on our side is they think they're in a vacuum.
They'll watch the news.
They'll see media bias think nobody else sees it.
Think everybody else is fooled by it.
They think they're out working answering phones or knocking on doors thinking nobody else is.
Think they're the only one doing it.
They got to get everybody else involved.
Things are not optimum here.
I could list the things that all of us wish we could improve on, but we can't improve on any of them.
There are certain things we're stuck with here, and there are certain things that we have to make the best of.
There are other things that can be changed or can be worked on.
And those are being so forth.
But it's not in my nature to come in here and start bleeding on all of you and tell you how, oh, woe is us.
Oh, geez, they're better than we are.
Oh, I don't think we have much of a chance.
Oh, this and that.
It's just not my nature.
I'm not consumed with negativism or fatalism or defeatism.
I'm very uncomfortable even faking it to make a point for fear that people are going to believe me.
I don't even want to go there.
One thing I know is it is easy to be fatalistic.
It is easy to be negative.
It is easy to be defeatist.
Nobody has to write a book to tell you how to do any of that.
Nobody has to write a book to tell you how to fail.
We all know how to do that.
But the guys that write books on the power of positive thinking become multi-millionaires because it's hard.
The people that write stories on how to be successful, how to make a lot of money, because it's hard.
It's not something that apparently comes naturally.
Not everybody is oriented towards it.
It's much easier to be pessimistic.
But when you're pessimistic, you can explain away a lot of things.
When you are optimistic, it also requires a commitment.
By the same token, people who are falsely optimistic, who refuse to see reality, and they're just, what's the, there's a term for people like this.
Rose colored glass, that irritates me just as much as the people on the other side.
But if you want me to tell you that I don't see how we have a chance here, folks, the deck is so stacked again.
I'm sorry, I can't do that.
That's not how I feel about this.
It's not what I think about it.
I perceive, this is why I make a big deal out of the fact that I am the mayor of Realville.
And that's also a place with a small population.
That's why I could be elected mayor.
There aren't any other voters.
I'm it.
But I don't understand why when there are reasons for optimism, you want to ignore them.
I totally understand the psychology of, well, Russia, it's better to play from two points behind.
That's for, we got to keep, I don't know anybody who thinks this is in the can.
I don't know anybody who thinks this is in the bag.
I don't know anybody who doesn't care about it.
I don't know anybody who thinks this is over and that we're winning it.
I don't know anybody who's decided to forget it because it's over, we're winning.
I don't know anybody.
All I know is people who care about this more than anything they've ever cared about in their lives.
Starting in 2009 when the guy was inaugurated, it peaked in 2010.
In fact, I don't think it has peaked.
I don't know what's changed from 2010 to today in terms of the things that turned people out in 2010, the things that scared them, the things they opposed.
What's changed?
It's only gotten worse.
The architects of the disaster have only kept doing the same things that got everybody scared and angry in the first place.
The debt is higher.
The number of people in poverty is higher.
The number of people on food stamps is higher.
Unemployment is not improved.
There hasn't been any improvement.
I don't understand why it's automatically concluded then that people are getting lazy.
But I can tell you this.
When it comes to motivating and inspiring people, I think optimism does far more than pessimism does.
Pessimism, by definition, is defeatism.
And with defeatism comes loss and a feeling of there's nothing you can do.
So why do anything?
Optimism creates just the exact opposite.
It's got to be genuine and real.
But there are reasons for that.
And there are also reasons for concern.
And I don't know anybody who's taking anything for granted here.
If I am a little alarmed at how much fatalism there apparently is.
I understand it.
But I think there's plenty of evidence to suggest we don't need to be fatalistic.
The media doesn't win every time.
The Democrats don't win every time.
And even if they do cheat every time, they don't get away with it every time.
In fact, we're making great inroads on that.
This James O'Keefe guy and his Project Veritas exposing all this, there's progress being made.
I just don't understand why people want to sit out there and be consumed with stuff that's going to make you miserable.
We only get one life.
and we need to try to enjoy as much of it as you can while accepting the responsibilities and rigors of life at the same time.
How many?
Well, that's the point.
Snird, how much of it is just worry because the stakes are so.
That's my exact point.
There are people scared to death for their lives.
And what they're going to scared to death for their freedom.
They're scared to death for everything that it stands for to be an American.
They're scared to death.
That's all on the line.
Exactly right.
So how does that translate into people getting overconfident and thinking it's over and not working hard?
I guess it's the exact opposite.
But those are not the fatalists.
The fatalists are the people who think it's no hope.
There's no way we can overcome any of this, that we have already lost our freedom and we're never getting it back.
And if you want to – there are some people who are comforted by that in ways I don't understand psychologically, but there are people who find a common link.
The people who feel the same way, it's somewhat comforting.
I just look at, I learned early on in my career, I could find easily, with no trouble whatsoever, people who had failed in this business and would tell me I was going to too.
I had no problems finding people to tell me I didn't have a chance.
I had no problems finding people who tell me I wasn't good enough.
I had no problems finding people who were jealous and envious.
Whatever the reason, I had no problem.
They were all over the place.
People that had failed, thought the business was unfair.
Don't get into it, Rush.
People who like me and don't get into it.
It's going to chew you up and spit you out.
It's not fair.
I've given it my best shot.
You don't have a prayer.
Even if you succeed in it, it's still good.
I said, how am I going to learn from this?
I found people who had succeeded in it.
I found people who loved it like I did, and I hung around them.
And those are the people I used as role models, or at least if they did offer advice, it was that advice I listened to.
But what point was there in listening to people who told me I had no chance or that the business was unfair because they had failed, everybody else was going to, there was no, I just have never been drawn to it.
Never have.
It's never been a magnet to me.
But I understand.
Look, I also talked to some people who write financial newsletters.
They the best thing in the world for subscriptions is a story they can write that says the world is ending tomorrow.
The financial collapse is next week.
Here's how you can protect yourself.
I goose my subscriptions.
I understand how all this works.
So I understand there are people who profit from this.
They profit from the fatalism, profit from the negativism.
They'll do a number of things.
Just, that's why I've always just retreated into being as real as I can.
I don't come up with phony controversies.
I don't play games with you psychologically.
I don't also have a great respect for your intelligence.
I don't really think, I think you understand what's at stake, which is the way, which is one of the reasons why I approach all of you the way I do every day.
I don't think that you are a bunch of idiots that don't see what's going on, wolves being pulled over your eyes, and bogeyman here and bogeyman there.
You know what's up.
You know the score.
That's why you're here.
So I didn't intend to sound dismissive or insulting of our first caller, but I did.
She was obviously not happy with what she was hearing from me.
She was not pleased with my attitude.
I said, well, how do you want me to behave?
What do you want me to do?
And the things that she suggested that I do are things that have been doing every day.
Spread the word word of mouth if you're in line.
If you want to do more than vote, here's a way to find people in your community who are doing that.
They're finding out how they can secure.
I mean, the number of times I've talked about grassroots and how you can be a part of it, if that had been the word in a drinking game, people listening to this program, there'd have been a lot of people died from alcohol poisoning by now.
Now, I must take a brief timeout, an obscene profit timeout.
We're going to come back.
I've got these audio soundbites from CBS covering up for the president.
Covering up.
Another thing we do here, we expose the fraud that's on the left every day so that you know what we're up against.
But it doesn't, to me, it doesn't depress me or defeat me.
It's to me, it's enlightening.
It's education, information.
Okay, here's how they operate.
There's a way to combat them, which is another thing that we've been doing here for coming on now 25 years.
So sit tight.
We'll come back.
We'll squeeze.
We've got a full boat now.
How many fatalists have called in?
How many pessimists?
I'm not saying this with any.
Okay, but okay.
I'm just understand I'm not saying this in a challenging or disrespectful way.
I'm just asking you without looking at the board myself.
Okay, sit tight, my friends.
Much more here.
Straight ahead, the EIB Network and El Rushball back after this.
There's also, ladies and gentlemen, in the number of emails at the Rush 24-7 subscriber email account, those that I checked, there seems to be, and I didn't get a whole lot of emails read in the limited time I had here.
There seems to be an opinion that the hype surrounding Romney is not real, that the mainstream media is hyping all this Romney momentum, but there really isn't any.
And that the mainstream media is doing this to create a false sense of security on the part of Romney voters so that they'll think it's over and then maybe stay home and not vote even in addition to not getting out and working hard because they think the election's in the bag.
I'm sorry.
I don't know anybody that thinks that.
I don't know anybody.
I don't know one person who hasn't early.
Forget the early voting and abstinence.
I don't know one person who wishes the election weren't today.
I don't know one person who can't wait to vote and get this over with.
I don't know one person lazy.
I don't know anybody feeling overconfident, disinterested.
It is new.
I'm not aware that people think the media is hyping all of this Romney momentum and that it isn't real.
But when I examine the polls, I can only tell you when they seem to make no sense to me.
Like yesterday, went through every poll.
Romney up double digit in independence.
We're told independents are where you win elections.
Republican Democrat consultants, political professionals.
Every four years, forget the 40% that vote Democrat.
Forget the 40% that vote Republican at 20% in the middle.
That's where the elections are.
You've heard it.
You know that.
We hear it every four years.
I've heard it every four years from my whole life.
Okay.
So I look at these polls, and in independence, Romney's up 10 plus 11 plus 13 plus 19 plus 16 plus 8.
The swing of independence to Romney is profound in these polls.
The gender gap has closed.
It doesn't exist anymore.
Romney and Obama tied in women.
The regime is out today saying, don't believe those polls.
Any poll that shows Romney and Obama tied with women is a poll that can't be believed.
I wouldn't take that poll to Vegas, save my ladies.
People are obsessed with Vegas.
So now they don't like the poll.
The gender gap is gone.
Romney's plus double digits independence.
And yet in every one of these polls, Obama's down two, down one, or even ahead one or two.
I'm sorry, it doesn't make sense to me.
And when it doesn't make sense, I just tell you.
Doesn't make sense.
We got a guy running for re-election on what?
Trust me.
Trust what I say.
The other guy is a bull.
The other guy is a liar.
The other guy is just making it up.
Romney, just lying to you.
Trust me.
Trust what I say.
I'm about ready to produce a bunch of series of lies.
Little Bobby, you want some trust, buddy?
What'd you tell us the unemployment number was going to be about now?
What'd you tell us is going to happen because of the stimulus?
All these wonderful, great things, sea levels, planet healing, world going to love us, all this other rot gut stuff that you promised.
Bull?
Bull, whatever.
He owns it.
Obama owns it.
He's the architect of it all.
My friends, we just, we knock it out of the park here each and every day, and that's what I am going to continue to do.
Okay, and I promise that's enough for me.
I have had diarrhea of the mouth for this entire half hour of this busy broadcast hour.
We're going to take a break.
We'll come back, and I promise we'll get to your phone calls.
Your turn to have at it.
800-282-2882.
You're going to be signaled now, but keep trying.
You might get through if it's next week.
Okay, back to the phones, as promised.
And Gina and Conifer, Colorado, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
I was calling.
I don't like the tone of the show today here.
I'm one of more than 10,000 people that were at that Red Rocks rally for Romney a couple nights ago here in Colorado.
Are you sure the media didn't just photoshop those pictures and make it look like a lot of people really weren't there?
Come on, be truthful.
Nobody showed up.
That was just the media just photoshopped the pictures.
Have you ever been to Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado?
No.
Okay.
But I've been to Fort Collins.
I've been to Fort Collin for Dan Bake Tale.
Okay, well, they had, this is an outdoor amphitheater set in the Red Rocks.
You cannot believe how beautiful it is.
We get there.
The doors opened at 4:30, so the gates opened at 4:30.
So we got down there around 5.
The town below Red Rocks, which is about 2.5 miles down the hill, was a total parking lot.
You couldn't get through.
We waited in line for an hour.
We got up to the gate.
They turned us away.
The parking was entirely full.
People were hopping, passengers in the cars were hopping out of their cars and hiking it the two and a half miles up to the amphitheater.
We had to park down in the town with thousands of other people, old, young alike.
People were walking.
It's two and a half miles.
We asked the guard down at the bottom of the road.
This is up in the hills in Jefferson County, the amphitheater.
People were walking up the road the two and a half miles.
Some of us walked on a dirt trail, hiked it up to that amphitheater, waited for another hour or more with thousands and thousands of people.
We found out later that there are some sources saying here that they've never had a crowd like that at the amphitheater.
More than 10,000 people.
We were jammed in there like sardines.
There were people on the steps.
There were people standing on the top.
You could not believe it.
The highway, Interstate 470, which is a couple miles from the town, was at a complete standstill.
We could see the line of cars at a complete standstill while we were waiting on the hill to get it, let us, for them to let us in the amphitheater.
You can't believe it.
I'm so frustrated.
This is happening all across the country.
Okay, take a breath.
She's dead wrong.
She is dead wrong.
People are not listening to the mainstream media.
People like me, regular people like me, are involved.
We are engaged.
We know what's happening.
We know what we got to do.
And nobody is going to be able to stop us when we go to vote on November 6th.
Amen.
Now, Gina, take just a second.
I can't and take a breath.
You're great, but you didn't breathe there.
Because you had a lot you wanted to say.
And by the way, you didn't get.
Can you tell an Italian rush?
Well, you didn't, you didn't.
Well, no, no, but I believe it.
But you didn't stutter once.
Here's the thing.
I am so glad you called because you're illustrating my point.
I've seen these pictures for Romney and I've commented on them.
And not just in Colorado.
He's been drawing crowds like this in Florida, which we've been pointing out here.
He's been drawing crowds like this everywhere he and Ryan go.
And I'm so glad you called and talked about that.
These crowd sizes are indicative of voter enthusiasm.
They are indicative of people being engaged and involved.
You are not, if you were overconfident and you thought this was in the bag, you wouldn't be showing up to hear Romney.
You wouldn't go through what you went through, would you?
If you thought it was over and in the bag.
So I'm, by the way, I need to ask you a question.
Seriously, Gina, you can help me if you tell me something.
You said at the beginning of your call you didn't like the tone of today's show.
Why?
What is it?
There's no wrong answer here.
There's no wrong answer.
What is it you don't like about it?
I don't like the tone of the show because we need to stay positive.
We are hungry for new leadership in this country.
But wait a minute.
You realize I was called on the carpet for being too.
No, I'm so mad at your last caller.
I respectfully disagree with her.
I saw old people rush.
The people that were sitting beside my husband and I, we had to help her.
It took us more than an hour to get all the way down to the parking lot.
There were so many people in there to go down the steps.
This is an outdoor amphitheater.
All people then hiked up there to hear Romney and to show their support.
They could have gone home.
Okay, now the parking lots were full.
Why?
We need to stay positive here.
This is no time to give up.
I agree.
I think it's far more infectious.
I think being positive and optimistic is infectious.
It breeds more of it.
Anyway, I need to ask you a question.
Was the Romney rally worth all that you went through?
Oh, my gosh, yes.
You know, when Paul Ryan, I don't think either one of those two have ever been to Red Rock's amphitheater.
It is an incredible, incredible outdoor amphitheater.
It's huge.
And when Paul Ryan walked out, he was visibly moved.
But when Mitt Romney walked out and stood before the podium, he put his hand up by his chest, and he just looked up and he was visibly moved at the size of the crowd and the enthusiasm and the beauty around him that night.
And let me mention just one thing.
It was just, I've got it somewhere.
I don't know if it's a soundbite or if it's in my stack.
Brian Williams, NBC, the nightly news anchor, is now saying that Romney's crowds are just unbelievably over-the-top, enthusiastic, large, positive, clean and pure as the wind driven snow.
Obama's crowds, they're 90% smaller than they were four years ago.
I'm sure technically's crowds are like.
I couldn't care less.
I'm just excited that Romney's crowds are as enthusiastic as they are.
Rush, can you imagine?
We walked.
We walked five miles two nights ago just to see Mitt Romney.
I know, I heard you.
That's why I asked you if it was worth it.
Oh, my gosh, was it worth it?
I kept thanking my husband.
Thank you for bringing me here.
Thank you for bringing me here tonight.
And I just want to encourage your listeners.
You know what?
No, this isn't in the bag because we don't know what Obama's going to do.
We don't trust them.
We've seen what they're capable of.
But I believe that there's definitely hope.
And I think we got a good shot at this.
Look, when you describe what you went through to get there and what a lot of other people went through to get there, when you talk about how many people were there, when you talk about the energy level and the love and the excitement that was there, what I hear when you say something like that, those are the kind of things that make me say to myself, there's something going on out there.
There's something going on out in the country.
That's not being reported.
That's not being seen.
The media is not accurately reporting it, but it's happening.
And you are walking, talking evidence of it.
I am walking, talking evidence of that.
I am.
I'm a regular person here living in Colorado, working, going to work every day.
Thank God we have jobs.
And yes, it is happening.
And nobody's telling your audience about it.
And unless they're going to these rallies, they don't know what's happening.
So I just want everybody to rest easy.
Okay?
No, no, no.
No, that's a bad bit of advice for the people.
You know what I mean, right?
Yeah, I do.
Look, you've been so great.
I want to give you an option to claim a gift that I'd like to give you.
Are you ready for the list of options?
Oh, my gosh.
When I hear you give out options to people, I start crying because it's so great.
I don't even want one of your options.
I have everything I need.
You give it to somebody who needs it more than me.
Okay.
Are you sure?
You know, you want to hear the list?
No, I know the list.
I could probably tell you the list.
The colors, everything you have.
I think it's fantastic.
I love it.
I love when you do these giveaways, but I really don't need it.
It just makes my day that I was able to call today.
And I hope I encourage somebody.
You have no idea.
Rush, we so appreciate you for everything you do.
Gina, it's the other way around.
It's people like you who make the country work.
It's people like you and what you're doing in your daily life to influence others around you.
This is precisely the kind of thing that we urge taking place on this program.
Live your life, influence people as such.
You don't have to get in their face, point fingers at them.
You're just fabulous.
And I'm so honored that you're in this audience.
And I'll take the iPhone I was going to give you, and I'll give it to me.
Give it to your next military caller that comes as my gift.
Okay, deal.
I'll do that.
Okay.
I'll do that.
Okay, Gina, have a good one, and we'll talk to you soon someday.
Okay, thank you.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
We'll be back, folks.
Don't go away.
Okay, I have here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers a transcript.
It was Brian Williams on MSNBC, and we are still, there is a ban on all audio from MSNBC.
I refuse to play it.
And that's where he was.
He was talking to F. Chuck Todd.
And he said to F. Chuck Todd, this is not 08.
These are not the crowds.
This is not the candidate.
What we're doing out here is basically devoting half of our Rock Center broadcast tonight to a minute-by-minute what it's like.
We ask the Romney campaign for the same access to do the same thing with them.
One of the points that I'm going to make palpably obvious to you.
This is not 08.
These are not the crowds.
This is not the candidate.
He's talking about Obama.
He's an incumbent looking for reelection.
The country's been through a financial shock.
We're in kind of an outdoor park courtyard.
Hard to say any of this with clarity, with surety, but the last time this could have been 50,000 people today.
And today I think we're pushing five, meaning this same place in 08, Obama drawing crowds of 50, maybe more.
It's only 5,000 here.
Meanwhile, Romney is drawing those kinds of crowds all over the country.
And you don't draw those kinds of crowds from people who don't think there's a chance.
You don't draw those kinds of crowds from people who have given up or don't think there's a chance or much hope.
It's quite the opposite.
Here's Obama's out.
You know what he's touting today?
He's out touting the Colin Powell endorsement.
Do you know what that's worth to him?
How is that any different than what happened in 2008?
Who do you think on the Republican side is going to be inspired to change if the undecided, any undecided Republicans?
Oh, Colin Powell's voting Obama.
Okay, that's it.
I'm in for Obama.
That ain't going to happen.
That, folks, is not how this stuff happens.
Romney is out there saying that Obama is running on empty.
And he is.
They are throwing stuff up against the wall in the Obama campaign, hoping something sticks.
And all this, this war on women, the war on women, look at all the money and time and effort.
And according to the polls that they hold dear, the gender gaps closed, it doesn't exist.
Romney and Obama tied in women in the real clear politics average tied after all this time on the war on women.
Here's Gretchen in Long Beach, Mississippi.
Great to have you on the program.
Welcome.
Hi, thank you, Rosh.
How's everything going up that way?
It's hard to follow Gina.
She was such an inspiration.
I've been to Red Rocks, and I went to live in Denver, and it's an awesome, awesome place.
And it sounds like Romney had a bigger crowd than Fleet Wood Mac did way back when.
But you started out your show with a study, I believe it was from Texas.
I don't know if it was a grad student, her thesis or whatever.
But an addendum or an assignment to her study is that there's a long-term study that the Lancet has published, which is the English Journal of Medicine.
And it has to do with birth control pills, particularly, and female attraction to the type of males.
And what they found over time is that women who use birth control pills over a long certain amount of time are attracted to a more androgynous type of male, which is, to me, kind of, I would, I guess I'm just thinking as a student, if I was studying this, it might be something this person would have done this.
Let's look at this from both sides.
Let's look at, would it be safe to say you're the woman?
So I'm going to ask you.
Be safe to say that woman, because this study was women not taking the pill.
Right.
If you're not taking the pill, that would seem to me that the pill has to have some effect on you.
I don't know.
It seemed to me that every pill you take, no matter what it is, male or female, it's going to have some effect on you.
Now, a birth control pill is going to affect various things reproductively.
What does it do to your libido?
It affects what you're attracted to.
What people tell you in the package insert is, you know, wait to don't trust this for three months or so.
And it's not 100% on a lot of things.
Yeah, because it's all different.
Long-term, like, some people take it after miscarriage and different things.
I would consider that a short-term.
But anyway, the Lancet study said that women who are on the pill for three months are attracted to androgynous type men.
Well, longer, probably the study started a little bit after three months because three months is really kind of just a beginning, starting it.
But women who take it continuously for, let's say, close to a year, six months over years.
I mean, a lot of women take these pills for, you know.
That would explain everything.
And they're attracted to more.
And in fact, the Lancet judgment.
That would explain the definition of in Liberalville, the real man.
That would explain it.
Yeah, that's what when I read this study, and now, you know, The Lancet's really good at a study, and it's a well-constructed study, and to see if the results were the same, reconducted the study.
So this was probably published, I want to say maybe republished last year with their latest results, which didn't change.
And that women who are taking this form of birth control, there's probably a lot of feminists there are going to find my house and do something to it.
But it makes sense to me because I have sisters that are younger than me.
When I look at the pop culture, the kind of men that were suddenly becoming attracted, you know, on the posters and things, you know, looking at prints and looking at, you know, kind of Michael Jackson.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Folks, if you're just joining us, I've got to explain why she called here.
You might, you know, this program today, in the first hour, I told the story, the CNN had a story on their website last week of a study done at University of Texas San Antonio by a lead researcher named Christina Durante.
A female researcher studied 275 women who were not taking hormonal contraception and were having regular menstrual cycles.
They studied the political preferences and voting patterns of those women.
And they concluded that women not taking the pill tended to feel sexier and dress sexier and that it affected the way they voted.
And what she's saying, the caller is saying, that Lancet, which is a British version of a peer-reviewed journal, studied the opposite.
Women who were on the pill for a long time who felt less sexy and were attracted to more androgynous men.
Androgynous men.
And she mentioned Michael Jackson.
That should give you a clue as any number of comparable type men that you might.
It would explain why in Liberalville, the guys who are real men have always been puzzling to us.
Went back to the archives of this program at rushlimbaugh.com.
And we found back in 2009, we talked about a story, a study, Sheffield University in the UK, Ecology and Evolution.
Birth control pill may have changed women's taste in men over the years.
Women become less attracted to masculine men.
It's exactly what the caller just said.
