Forty percent &#8212; almost half.  That\u2019s not something to panic about or be afraid about.  That\u2019s a sign of the progress and the strides that we\u2019ve made, but what it does mean is that when more women are bringing home the bacon, they shouldn\u2019t just be getting a little bit of bacon.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, that\u2019s what it was.  So when more women are bringing home the bacon they shouldn\u2019t just be getting a little bit of it.  I don\u2019t know a woman who eats bacon, do you?  You eat bacon?  Do you, really?  Well, I\u2019m honored to know you.  Congratulations.  You\u2019re not afraid to eat bacon, Dawn?  Are you kidding me?  My faith in womanhood is almost restored.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, Friday night on Bill Maher\u2019s Real Time show he had a guest, Kevin Williamson, from National Review magazine.  National Review magazine used to be a conservative magazine when Mr. Buckley owned it.  Maher had a guest named Kevin Williamson, who is a roving reporter, is what he\u2019s called.  They were talking about statistics last week that we just played Obama talking about, that 40% of America\u2019s breadwinners are women. <\/p>\n<p>Now, we mentioned this last week.  And I did not have a single disparaging thing to say about it.  I didn\u2019t even try to crack a joke about it.  I just mentioned it. I threw it out there for people to ponder and think about.  I hardly even spent any time on it.  So little time, I don\u2019t even remember exactly what I said.  Do you remember what I said about it?  Well, how would you know?  You weren\u2019t even here that day.  Dawn, do you remember what I said?  You\u2019re a woman.  You\u2019d be interested.  Do you remember what I said?  You do or you don\u2019t?  No, no, no.  There is no reason to be afraid here.  If you do remember, don\u2019t be afraid to tell me.  What do you remember me saying?  Right.  But there was no snarkiness.  I tossed out the fact and that was it.  There was nothing that made you people on the other side of the glass nervous, right?  Okay.  So let\u2019s go to the audio sound bite.  Bill Maher, Real Time, Friday night, Kevin Williamson and they\u2019re talking about this statistic that 40% of women are the breadwinners.<\/p>\n<p>WILLIAMSON:  The issue of women working and their outcomes for children has been studied and studied and studied and studied, and there\u2019s really no ill effects for kids.  Daughters seem to do better when they have working mothers.  The second thing is that Republicans really have a problem telling their elected officials from their entertainers.  You know, it\u2019s one thing to have Rush Limbaugh say something.<\/p>\n<p>MAHER:  Right.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_77285\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/KevinWilliamson.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>WILLIAMSON:  You have the governor of Mississippi also saying the same thing this week.  You know, this all started to go wrong when women started leaving the &#8212; leaving the house and going into the workforce, and there\u2019s just no real evidence to support that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I didn\u2019t say that.  I didn\u2019t say that.  My own wife is the CEO and the president and the grand pooh-bah of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.TwoIfByTea.com\">tea company<\/a>.  My own wife runs one of our businesses, and &#8212; oh, he doesn\u2019t mean me personally?  He means me generically?  Like Xerox?  It\u2019s one thing to have Rush Limbaugh say something, and the governor of Mississippi say the same thing? I didn\u2019t say anything last week, is that your point, I\u2019m just Xerox?  So whatever some nutcase on talk radio happens to say, it\u2019s me?  Well, okay, I am talk radio.  So whatever was said on talk radio, it\u2019s me?  Right.  It wasn\u2019t me.  Okay.  All right.  Fine. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what I said.  In fact, I\u2019m gonna read to you what I said.  &#8220;While I was gone, the Pew Center, Pew Research Center, released a study that revealed that mothers are the sole or primary providers of income in a record 40% of all households with children under the age of 18 in the country.  In other words, women have become the primary breadwinners in 40% of the households.  Analyzing data from the Census Bureau for 2011, the report investigated changing gender roles, cases where married women outearn their husbands.  I should say spouses now.  It\u2019s not husbands anymore.  And the income gap between married and single mothers was quite large as expected, but both groups of breadwinner mothers, married and single, have grown in size the past five decades.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>That was it.  That was all I said about it.  And since I was gone, some other people took some heat about this. I forgot the names, there were some commentator that had some deleterious things to say about it.  Wasn\u2019t me.  So I got slimed by National Review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Guess what he\u2019s out doing today? He\u2019s back on the War on Women.
