It is Eric Erickson here, Infor Rush Limbaugh on open line Friday, no less.
1-800-282-882.
You can even get me on Twitter and Facebook at E.W. Erickson.
Email me, Eric at redstate.com, or you can email Raj El Rushbo.
You know his email address.
If you need to complain about me, I'm sure he'll take your complaints and put them where they belong.
Welcome to the program.
If you're just tuning in, I I am on Fox News, formerly of CNN.
I run a website called redstate.com.
If I sound funny, it's because you don't get out enough.
I live in Georgia.
I have my own show on WSB out of Atlanta, where Russia's broadcasted from.
And it is my pleasure to be in New York for this.
There's this white stuff on the ground.
I think they call it global warming up here.
When I landed, there was global warming everywhere.
It's like like Frosty the Snowman threw up all over New York City.
Now we have to get into the news of the day.
We've moved on from Duck Dynasty.
We have to get into Barack Obama himself.
Now the the bagdad bobs of the Democratic Party are out there.
I've got this story right here from the left wing site talking points memo.
Officials.
Notice okay, so the headline is officials colon, people returning to healthcare.gov, quote unquote, in droves.
Now what this actually is is them not wanting to take credit for the propaganda campaign.
They're letting the officials take credit, but the bagdad bobs of the left are pushing the propaganda that people are returning to healthcare.gov in droves.
That's what they want you to believe.
Nearly three-quarters of those who have purchased health insurance on healthcare.gov since early December were people returning to the site after visiting in October and November.
That kind of rhymes, doesn't it?
In any event.
Hallelujah!
A miracle has occurred.
They instead of getting Jesus, they're getting Obamacare.
So many people are coming back that the president is having to exempt people from getting Obamacare.
That's how many people are coming back to get health care.
So many people are coming back.
The president of the United States himself has decided that he must lift the individual mandate for individuals with canceled plans.
Now this is a hell of a Christmas present, isn't it?
The President of the United States cancels everybody's health care insurance with Obamacare and then says, don't worry.
You don't have to go out and get it now.
So he wants us to believe that Obamacare will save people's lives, that everybody needs Obamacare, but yet he's going to tell people you don't have to get Obamacare.
There was a poll out the other day that the number that the number of people in this country who have health insurance has gone down five percentage points since Obamacare was passed.
Think about that for a minute.
You had the new Castrati out there saying everybody needs to have health insurance.
They've equated health care with health insurance.
Everybody needs access to health care.
Therefore we have to give them Obamacare.
I mean, you know, the the same people who don't want you to listen to Duck Dynasty, the people who want to march you through TSA so you can get the TSA exam every other month from the from the airport.
That's how they're going to save money.
Once you're prostate checked, go take a flight.
These are the people who are trying to get you to save money in absurd ways.
They want to tell you that you've got to have access to health care, but they really mean access to health insurance.
But now they mean you can actually go without having health.
The inconsistencies in this administration.
For years they campaigned on this.
For years they told us we needed universal health care.
For years, they said we needed to do this.
So they pass Obamacare over the objections of Republicans.
They say all of the Republicans' objections are hysterical.
And then every objection the Republicans had, everything the Republicans said would happen is coming true.
Millions, five million people, have lost their health care insurance because of what Barack Obama did.
And now he's telling them, Merry Christmas.
You don't have to have health care insurance.
But you spent years telling Us everybody needed it.
And so now you're telling us we don't need it, but we can get a catastrophic plan if we want a catastrophic plan, but the catastrophic plan you don't like.
So why not let everybody get the catastrophic plan?
And now think about how this works.
You have to have been dropped from your health insurance plan.
And yeah, and prove it.
Prove you've been dropped from your health care letter.
Everybody's got the letter.
And then what?
You have to prove you got a 404 error on healthcare.gov?
What?
Because I mean, here's the story.
I've got it right here.
Talking points memo.
Officials.
People returning to healthcare.gov in droves.
A survey of the federal website found 73% of those who have completed enrollment in recent weeks said they had first come to the site in the previous two months.
Really?
So what they're trying to tell you out of both sides of their mouth, on the one hand is the website works, you can get health care insurance, but on the other side of the mouth, they're telling you it doesn't work because people aren't able to get it, and so we're not gonna make them get it.
They are using the bully pulpit of the presidency to extend the the Obamacare to rewrite it.
I mean, honestly, people, Ted Cruz, there was a poll out the other day that said he's the third most powerful man in America.
He is the president of the United States, Ted Cruz is.
He is President Cruz.
President Cruz said we should extend the individual mandate exemption.
We should get rid of it for people.
So his minion Barack Obama did exactly what President Cruz said.
I mean, this is just fantastic.
I mean, talk about diversity.
We've got a Hispanic senator from Texas who can snap his fingers, and the black president in Washington will do whatever he says, apparently.
This is, I mean, we we are at total diversity in this country.
Now we just need to tell get Ted Cruz to stand up and threaten to shut down the government again and tell, oh, wait, he's done that.
So maybe Barack Obama will get rid of this now.
He's doing everything else Ted Cruz has said to do.
It's nice to know one man in Washington is in charge.
Takes a Texan to clean up Washington, apparently.
Just like when George Bush was there.
This is really profound.
But you know what's more profound?
Congress is letting him get away with it.
I've got a story here.
John Fund at National Review.
Yesterday the Obama administration suddenly moved to allow hundreds of thousands of people who've lost their insurance due to Obamacare to sign up for bare bones catastrophic plans.
It's at least the 14th unilateral change.
Fourteen unilateral changes.
The precedence these people are see.
Let me tell you what's going on here.
Let's move to 50,000 feet and examine this so we can see the lay of the land better.
The Democrats are convinced there will never be a Republican president again.
They are convinced they have gamed it so well, they have rigged it so well, they have stacked the deck so well, there will not be a Republican president again.
I saw Carl Rove on Fox News just a little while ago.
The TV was on.
You know, when Carl was in the White House, he he laid plans for the permanent Republican majority.
How'd that work out for him?
This is what the Democrats are doing now.
And their hubris will be their undoing.
They are convinced that the Republicans they don't know how to campaign.
We had a caller in the first hour who called in from long is from Long Island, New York, who is a Democrat, who votes Democrat, and who is angry at his democratic politicians because they are stacking the deck in their favor and in the favor of government employees in Long Island and helping people who haven't been working for government a long time, get all sorts of benefits.
They can't even pay the cops, but the unions want them to do this, so they're doing this.
They're doing whatever the unions want.
You see, people, I say this on my own radio show all the time.
Events change things.
It was uh Harold McMillan, British prime minister, swept out of office, spot uh popular and all of a sudden not, swept out of office.
Someone asked him why, and he looked at the person and he said, events change things, dear boy events.
Events change things.
Six months ago, President Obama, what?
He he had come back into office, he had been re-elected with 52% back in November.
He comes into the summer, he's ready to wage war against the Republicans and lock in his Democratic majority.
And then that website comes online and it becomes a joke.
Events change things.
Democrats around the country, they think they have it locked in.
They think that they are at a point where they can drive a show from the air that 14 million people like and you can't say anything.
The left thinks they own the country now.
Events change things.
The Democrats in the United States Senate, they think they can let the president get away with exceptions for some people while not giving those exceptions to other people.
Those people get mad, they go complain to their congressmen, their congressman holds hearings, the president then gives another waiver but clowning himself, events change things.
The Republicans may trip over their feet the whole way to November of 2014, but the Democrats are doing their best to throw it all away because events change things.
And it's going to continue.
It is.
Now, here's the thing Republicans have got to do.
Oh, yeah, we're going to get into this.
I show no mercy to the Republican leadership in Washington because these people, they are just jokes.
Conservatives don't like Republicans in Washington.
David Fardoso, Conservative Intel.com, he's got this.
Do you approve or disapprove of the job Republicans in Congress are doing among conservatives?
67% disapprove.
Among Tea Partiers, 65% disapprove.
Now, with with Barack Obama or with the Democrats, 51% of liberals approve of the way Democrats are doing their job.
Only 28% of conservatives approve of the way Republicans are doing their job in Congress.
Only 28%.
What are the Republicans doing?
They are not serious.
They just passed this Ryan Murray budget plan that raises taxes on the American people.
That cuts benefits for veterans, and then tried to blame that on the Democrats when they're the ones who got first dibs at it.
They're not serious.
And then they they attack Ted Cruz, they attack Rand Paul, they attack Mike Lee, they attack conservatives.
They're not serious.
But events change things.
And God bless them, the Democratic Party of the United States is doing their best to change things for the Republicans.
Eric Erickson, in for rush.
Welcome back, the Rush Limbaugh Show.
I'm not Rush.
I'm not even Mark or the other Mark or even the other Mark.
I'm Eric Erickson from Atlanta, Georgia, actually Macon, Georgia, the home of James Brown, Otis Redding, Little Richard, and the Allman Brothers.
Yes.
Yes.
I don't sing.
You don't want me to sing.
I have zero musical talent.
My kids are the ones with the musical talent.
I would tell you what I'm getting them for Christmas, but I would have nightmares and the kids would know.
Oh my goodness.
I think my wife and I may have made a mistake for Christmas, but we'll see.
I'm going out and getting earplugs.
Um 1-800-282-2882 is the number.
It is open line Friday.
This polling from Conservative Intel.
By the way, so the things that I'm talking about, just because I'm one of those people, you know those people.
Some of you don't like those people, but as I'm talking about some of these things, I'm putting them out on Twitter at EW Erickson.
So you can follow the leak.
You can see it for yourself.
You don't even have to believe me.
You can see it for yourself.
This polling on conservatives.
Let me explain what happened.
Ted Cruz.
Well, let's let's go back even further.
Let's go in the way, way, way the heck back machine.
Barack Obama and the Democrats, they pass Obamacare.
And Republicans run around the country in 2010 and they say, if you vote for us, we will do anything and everything possible to stop Obamacare.
And the nation says, great.
And they vote Republican.
Now they don't get the Senate back, but they get the House back.
And those House Republicans from 2010 to 2012, they said, if you keep our majority, by God, we will do everything we can to get rid of Obamacare.
And the nation says, great.
And they left the Republicans in charge of the House.
But ironically, the Republicans nominate a guy who doesn't want to campaign on Obamacare.
Because he himself had authored the ancestor of it.
But the Republicans held the House and they said, if you get us back the House, we'll do everything we can.
And so great.
The Republicans did.
And then you know, there's this a crazy thing happened, a bizarre thing happened.
It is a shocking, unbelievable, upturning, insane thing happened.
The voters who had been hearing Republicans since 2009 say if you vote for us, we'll stop this.
The voters decided to believe the Republicans.
They they decided to believe John Boehner.
They they just they decided to believe the Republicans in Congress who said they would do anything to stop Obamacare.
So Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, they said, you know what?
Let's draw a line in the sand.
Instead of being Democrat light, let's show the American public we stand for something.
Because if you don't stand for something, you'll stand for anything.
And the Republicans said, okay, let's stand for something.
And Ted Cruz and Mike Lee said, let's say we're not gonna fund Obamacare.
We're just not gonna do it.
We'll fund everything, but we're not gonna do that.
And those Republicans who since 2009 have said, vote for us, vote for us, we'll undo Obamacare.
I don't want to do that.
Zero testicular fortitude.
So the government got shut down, and the entire time they were already saying, Oh, yeah, we'll give the Democrats everything they want.
I'm I'm sorry.
You can disagree.
Let's put it on the table.
Many of my friends disagree on that shutdown strategy.
Many of them do, and it's okay, we can disagree.
But can we agree that you do not begin even before it happened?
Even before it happens, you don't start negotiations with the Democrats by saying, well, we're not gonna do this because that would hurt us.
You were not gonna do this.
We'll give you everything you want.
I mean, that's basically how the Republican leadership was very public that they would give the Democrats everything they wanted, and we're being forced by those redneck hick rub conservative Tea Partyers to do this, but we really don't want to do it.
Blame them, not us.
And so is it any surprise that this polling comes out that 70 uh 67% of conservatives are upset with Congress.
Seventy-eight percent of college educated people are upset with conserv or with Republicans in Congress.
65% of self-described tea.
People who don't even want to call themselves conservatives, they want to call themselves Tea Partiers.
Sixty-five percent of them are upset with Republicans in Congress.
So now look at the latest scheme.
The Republicans decide to collaborate on the Ryan Murray plan.
It raises taxes.
I'm sorry, it's fees.
You know, you know how you can tell that this is a tax and not a fee?
Does anyone really believe that they say it's for airport security?
Do you really believe that the TSA it all of a sudden costs more to go through our junk or that they can go through more junk more efficiently per hour with this extra money?
No, of course not.
It's tax.
It was all done to make it look like it was it wasn't going to cost as much, that they weren't gonna spend as much.
They busted the sequestration caps.
Oh, remember, just two months ago, the Republican leaders are saying, we're gonna draw a line in the sand on sequestration.
We don't want to shut down the government, we're gonna fund Obamacare, but you can trust us because we will draw a line in the sand on sequestration.
We won't cave on that until they did.
But they're saying, oh, well, we only caved a little.
It's like being a little bit pregnant.
They raised taxes, they raised spending, they caved on sequestration, and then they used veterans to do it.
You see, they cut veterans' benefits, or they cut the rate of growth of veterans' benefits, to be more precise.
And the Republicans did it, and the Democrats did it.
It was a bipartisan plan.
They used veterans, particularly veterans disabled by war, they used them as pawns in their little political scheme.
They they together did this.
And then it got to the Senate, and the Republicans said, Oh, well, Harry Reid's blocking us from being able to put it back in.
Well, they didn't have to take it out in the first place.
It went through the House of Representatives first.
Are they trying to use this now?
I'm no fan of Harry Reid's, but it wasn't his fault.
And so now they're trying to put it back.
And here's the dirty little secret.
They cut veterans' benefits to make this plan look more affordable than it would actually was.
Paul Ryan, Patty Murray, The rest of them, they've already come out and said, Well, we're gonna put it back in next year.
So it was a gimmick.
They used veterans for a gimmick.
Is it any wonder people are mad at Washington?
Both sides of the aisle.
Is it any wonder Democrats are disenfranchised and disengaged as well?
People are mad at Washington.
And the best way to get our revenge is to, well, throw the clowns out, I guess.
Eric Erickson, in for Rush.
We'll be back.
That was pretty good.
That was pretty good.
Welcome back.
It is Eric Erickson, In for Rush Limbaugh here at the EIB Network, the phone number 1-800-282-2882.
You know, normally I fill in for other people and I always accidentally wind up giving either my home phone number or my radio show number, but I've been practicing saying Rush Limbaugh's phone number for years.
I've called a number of times in the past.
I've gotten through once.
Bo Snurley hung up on me.
He did.
And now here I am.
But yeah, he's look, he's looking at me like and we let you behind the microphone now.
Holy Lord.
Yes, yes, yes, they have.
Okay, I I need I well, you know, I'm not going to apologize.
I'm just going to tell you people.
Some of you are very angry at me for what I just had to say.
If you're just tuning in, I'm not going to repeat myself because brilliance only comes once.
You can't redo brilliance.
But when the Republicans had the White House and the Senate and the House of Representatives.
They did no child left behind and increased government involvement in schools.
They did Medicare Part D and increased government entitlements.
They did TARP.
It was the Republicans who did the General Motors bailout, not the Democrats.
They went along with it.
It was the Republicans who did it.
They tried immigration reform.
They I mean, there was that Harriet Myers moment.
I mean, I I tread lightly there.
I don't want to give some members of Congress nightmares.
But they they went through all of these things.
And some of you are emailing me angrily and on Twitter.
You can get me on Twitter at E.W. Erickson and saying, you just focus on Obama.
Focus on Obama.
Well, if we don't hold our own side accountable, didn't we learn in 2006 that the voters will?
I mean, we just can't give our side a pass.
I mean, that that's the wonderful thing.
And this is why I have loved for years listening to Rush Limbaugh.
He when redstate.com, when we came along, that that's you go to redstate.com right now.
Give my IT guy a heart attack.
When we did Red State, Rush actually did a podcast with me back in the day because we relaunched the side, and he was the first guy I heard say that George Bush isn't a movement conservative.
He said it on a podcast with me.
And he's right.
And Rush is always willing to call it like he sees it.
And he's not going to apologize for it.
He's not going to give a party line.
You can't give a party line.
You give a party line, you're given a pass.
That's the problem the Democrats have right now.
Look at them.
They are be clowning themselves, letting Barack Obama get away with stuff they would have never let George Jimmy McBush Hitler Halliburton get away with.
They are clowning, they'd be clowning themselves.
I mean, if George Jimmy McBush, Hitler Halliburton had done any of half the stuff Barack Obama's doing, they would be bringing up on impeachment charges.
Yes.
I call him George Jimmy McBush Hitler Halliburton because that's basically sums up every attack the Democrats made on George Bush when he was president.
They said he was a chimp.
They said he was Hitler.
They said he was Halliburton.
They said he was just in the pocket of corporations like Ronald McDonald, George Jimmy McBush, Hitler Halliburton.
Just so you understand where I'm coming from.
These people, they would have impeached him.
They would have tried.
They would be marching in the streets.
But when Barack Obama does the same things they were ready to burn down Washington for because George Bush did, they turn a blind eye.
And you know, there are Democrats out there right now saying, Well, that's what you Republicans did to George Bush.
You let him get away with murder.
So, so that's your that's your I mean, that's your kindergarten response.
Teacher, he did it too.
Really?
That's it.
That's the level of intellectual honesty you want to have, Democrats?
That's it.
That's it.
I I believe in accountability for all sides.
See, I uh as I said at the beginning of the show, I put the fun and fundamentalism.
I am an evangelical Christian.
I am a member of the frozen chosen, the PCA, the non-heretical Presbyterians, and I believe that men are sinful creatures, and that's why I want small government.
I want as few sinners in charge of me as possible.
The Democrats, they don't care.
They do not care.
They're happy to have big government.
They're happy to the waste, the fraud, the abuse, the graft, the greed, the corruption, it it's it's all part of it.
This is why conservatism, by the way, is the only legitimate political philosophy.
Now I know that's offends some of you, but it is because we have an accurate depiction of men.
Democrats, they love humanity, but they don't really love their neighbor.
I mean, that's why they want you to that's why they want higher taxes.
Wendy Davis down in Texas, the person running for governor of the day, I call her abortion Barbie.
She down down in Texas.
She wears the pink shoes and the pink outfits and all.
She gave less than one percent of her income to charity.
But she wants to raise your taxes so you can fund killing kids.
She wants to fund, she wants to raise taxes in Texas so that you can fund Planned Parenthood, so she doesn't have to to abdicate responsibility to government.
The abortion Barbie.
Well, I I mean, look, in all the Vogue interviews and stuff, they refer to her Barbie like looks and stuff.
She goes on George Stephanopoulos and he wants to talk about her outfits and her shoes and her blonde hair, doesn't want to talk about the procedure that she tried to filibuster and that she supports, so I it drove them insane.
There's an angry feminist right now out there saying, I can't believe he calls her that.
I mean, that they they're very upset.
But yes, that's what I call her.
It is def I mean, this is what defines this woman.
She became a national hero for the Democrats for filibustering legislation that would save children's lives.
And she wants your money to go to the government so the government can force your money to fund procedures some of you object to.
She doesn't want to give her money.
Her the total amount of her contributions, a buddy of mine down in Texas figured it out.
She may have funded 2.4 abortions in the last three years with her amount of charitable giving.
Meanwhile, she wants you to fund as many as you possibly can.
The sacred sacrament of the left, that is.
I I I just I tell you people, the Democrats have a screwed up view of humanity.
Men are greedy, lustful, lying creatures collectively.
The mob rule of people, individually love your neighbor.
The guy next door to you, the guy down the street from you, the guy across town whose house burned, write him a check, give them some money, but this putting hands in the collective.
I don't want the collective in charge of me.
I want as few people in the collective as possible.
Look what they did to Phil Robertson.
The collective is a scary thing.
The collective, I mean, it's like limbings off the cliff.
Conservatives have the legitimate world view.
We understand that you should love your neighbor, but when all your neighbors do get together, don't trust them.
Don't trust them.
That's just true.
How about we take a phone call?
See if I can fit one in here.
Mor the clock miraculously.
Bob in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hi uh.
How are you?
Good, good.
Listen, uh, has anybody uh ever think about you know this 40 million uh the uh you know the people at Target?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The 40 million people at Target their uh personal information might be compromised.
Right.
Did anybody ever stop and think, well, that's a pretty uh uh opportune time for this to happen when it's gonna be coming up where Obamacare, all their information is supposedly uh under shooting and all that other.
Well, you know, the NSA can get it any time.
Yes.
Yeah, you're right.
Look, if they can get Target, these the these boobs from Canada who designed the website, you think they can't get past these guys?
They don't even know how to build a real website.
At least Target was able to build her real real website and they were able to get that information from Target.
You think they can't get it from the federal government, you people are crazy.
Yeah, okay, sure.
It'll be a much more severe federal crime, but it's a crime to get it from Target and they're still doing it.
Yeah, Bob, I I I put faith in government for stuff like this.
The government has no business doing this.
It can't do it as effectively as as uh private enterprise.
It can't do it as effectively as well, it just can't do it.
I mean, we're seeing it.
The the the spin that suddenly people are coming back to the website to get their health care insurance who couldn't get it two months ago.
And that's a wonderful thing.
No, it's not a wonderful thing.
We're we're enslaving people to government depending on government for their health care.
Yeah, oh yes, yeah, yeah, it's the law.
Yeah, she's right.
It is the law.
That's why they're going back.
They probably could get it somewhere else for cheap, and now the president's gonna hand this stuff out, and we're entrusting our privacy to the federal government.
We're submitting this stuff.
I don't even know if it's secure.
I read somewhere a while back that the security issue was was was not right.
That it was messed up.
You cannot trust the government to do this stuff well.
We've seen it over and over and over.
And if you don't believe me, look at the polling.
Overwhelming numbers of the American people now think that big government is a problem.
The the issue with Republicans is that they believe that big government's no longer a problem.
They think Democrats in charge of big government is the problem.
But right now the American people are siding with guys like Cruz and Lee and Paul and the rest that big government is a problem.
Thank you, Barack Obama.
Y'all gonna have to I'm sorry, you all will have to excuse me.
I'm having so much fun.
It's my first time behind the golden EIB microphone, and it's free it's open line Friday, and I'm barely taking full I got so much to say.
See, this is the my own show in Atlanta, it's drive time, and I've got to stop like every five minutes for traffic and weather.
So I gotta talk fast to be able to fit all my points in.
I I get to stretch things out now.
It's it's brilliant.
Now, since it is open line Friday, I guess I should take some phone calls.
1800 28282, Eric Erickson in for Rush Limbaugh.
Ron in Albany, New York, welcome.
Hey, how you doing, Eric?
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Yeah, absolutely.
Uh I just got a few minutes here because I am at work, but I just you know, it was funny, I got a call from my sister this morning, and she told me that her her son, my nephew, the school called her out of work and brought her into the school and told her that um her son almost got suspended from school because he was wishing his classmates Merry Christmas.
No, you're kidding.
No, no, I'm not kidding, not kidding at all.
And um luckily was he wishing him Merry Christmas and shooting him the bird?
Um nope, nope.
Just wishing them Merry Christmas Merry Christmas.
That's it.
He's six years old, he was wishing his classmates Merry Christmas.
And uh luckily my sister, she's a feisty girl, and she kind of led into him a little bit there, but you know, she told him that you know, I I'm gonna get the news here, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, and they finally they back down.
You know, and at first, you know, she um she was telling me she thought that he got into a fight or something.
And of course you were thinking of a six, you know, a six year old kid probably, you know what I mean?
But no, it was uh it was Merry Christmas.
Ron, I I have to tell you the m my wife and I we've been married now for over thirteen years, and and my mental connection to her is so strong that the m and I know she's listening today to see if I screw up so she can hold it over my head the rest of my life.
When you said that, the very first thing I could hear my wife at home right now saying, Yankees.
Merry Christmas, nearly get your kids suspended.
This is you know, I actually so I was on the radio in Atlanta on WSB where where I've got my show the other night, and I had a parent call in whose daughter they have an open mic time at their school, elementary school.
The kids can come up, they can do a little thing, all the other kids, it's great time.
The kid wanted to sing a Christmas song about Jesus.
And in Georgia.
Now it was Metro Atlanta, so there you go.
But in Georgia, the teacher freaked out and wouldn't let her do it.
Had another uh teacher call me from a different county and said, they got rid of all the Jesuses and nativities from the Christmas tree at the school because they didn't want to offend anyone.
Friends, I'm sorry.
What about those of us who what about those of us who get offended?
I mean, what of what are those of us who get offended by telling us that we can't have this stuff?
I'm offended.
I mean, silly me.
I look at the word Christmas and see, let's see, the C H R I S T. I mean, pretty soon we're gonna have to go to X Miss Everywhere because uh that'll offend people.
It's just ridiculous.
The if everyone wants to be a victim, you it only profits in this country for you to be a victim.
Then you can get your own reality T V show.
That's what A and E will do next.
They'll fill the void with some person who is victimized somewhere in America.
Let's go back to the phones, Robin, Perry, Georgia.
My people, how are you?
Yes, how you doing uh this is Riley from Perry, Georgia, and I just want to say the conservative movement has been based on lives that's Rush Lumba.
He basically paying that he can't hear, but of course he'd like Christmas music, we might listen to it, but hey, hey, he he's got a cochlear implant.
Well, number one, if you can't hear it and he claimed that he was deaf, he could not hear.
But but now he he's got a uh device that assists him in hearing.
That's what we're running legends.
Well, I I I guess it's your show.
Man, Pete, you can't be from Perry, Georgia, because people from Perry, Georgia aren't jerks.
Well, and that man and uh we're trying to get Herman Cain not to come on air too there because he'd be number What what about her?
Oh my what okay, where are you actually from?
The planet Crap to And I said, Neo Boy, he was on the air, but he probably Obama got a big thing.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe I have to interpret for you.
I mean, the wow.
So he he's upset with Herman Kane, my friend New Borts and Rush Limbaugh.
And he believes that Rush Limbaugh is deaf and does not like Christmas music, but yet plays Christmas music and claims to like Christmas music, and so Rush Limbaugh must therefore be a liar.
This is wow.
Did you you people said this?
Y'all y'all set me up on this one, didn't you?
Y'all went out and found so Robin, are you still there?
Okay, go go go ahead.
Okay, well, we got to get the Democrats back in office as well in 2014 to get Obama as first as a judgment to be approved as far as with the health care, which is a great thing.
So you're one of those low-information voters Rush talks about.
He basically has making over $52 million a year, so he can afford him to adopt him in the hospital that he wants to.
And as far as with the poor, he's got to get to the high.
Okay, all right.
Okay, uh Robin, we we're we're going to have to let you go there.
Your authorazine has apparently lapsed and and you've got to go get another.
I I just I must apologize for my people.
He he he is from Perry, Georgia, and and well, I'm I'm not maybe you know that they know the peanut harvest is over by now.
I'm not exactly sure what has happened.
But Robin from Perry, you know, when I was a lawyer, I used to go eat at the New Perry Hotel all the time.
Wonderful food down there.
Um I'm not sure I just I'm very confused right now by someone who talks like that, calling in to insult Rush Limbaugh.
And see, he talks very fast like I do.
And so this is all very confusing to me that Robin says he but I mean, so he's I guess this is one of those low information voters Rush talks about all the time.
He wants to get Barack Obama re-elected, and he's convinced that Rush is deaf and doesn't know what a cochlear implant is and must like Christmas music, but doesn't like Christmas music and and lies and I just don't believe that Robin is like from planet Earth.
We'll be right back.
Eric Erikson in for Rush Limbaugh in the Attila the Hun chair.
It's rather comfy.
I need this for my house.
He's in Palm Beach.
He'll never know.
He'll never know.
So an Oklahoma man.
He's there are stories that you just can't make up.
This is from WTOP, a buddy of mine sent me this the Associated Press, Elk City, Oklahoma.
A man, Justin Harrell in Elk City.
God bless America.
There's a there's a place called Elk City.
That's just that's wonderful.
By the way, that was not Boom Hauer, I who called in earlier.
It was not him.
And I'm not sure that person was actually from.
I felt like I needed to say nanu nanu to him.
Um but he I can't believe he was from Perry, Georgia.
I just can't.
They're too nice down there.
So this guy, distracted.
Justin Harrell of Elk City.
He was in a park last Friday.
A police officer spotted him.
He has outstanding warrants from two counties.
The police officer decided he needed to be arrested, and while arresting him, slapping him in handcuffs.
Justin Harrell was able to convince the police officer to let him get on his knees and propose to a woman.
You will actually be surprised.
She said yes, as they're hauling him off in handcuffs.
