RUSH: This is Foster Friess, and he was on Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, her show at one o\u2019clock eastern yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n
FRIESS: Back in my days they used Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn\u2019t that costly.<\/p>\n
MITCHELL: Excuse me, I\u2019m just trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly.<\/p>\n
Go to the Planned Parenthood website, check out all of the instructional materials there for anybody. If you printed a page from the Planned Parenthood website and went to a park and found a bunch of kids 10 and 12 years old or 14 years old playing on a seesaw and showed \u2019em that page, you\u2019d end up in jail. Planned Parenthood pushes sex, they push pornography, they instruct about it, they have been for the longest time. I remember hosting this program back in the early nineties when cucumbers and so forth were used to demo condoms in the schools. And back then, “Mr. Limbaugh, you can\u2019t stop them, they\u2019re gonna have sex. We\u2019ve gotta teach \u2019em safe sex.” I had woman call, a mother from out in the Hamptons, say, “I would much prefer that my daughter bring her boyfriend home and have sex in one of our guest rooms rather than in the back of the car.” <\/p>\n
“Why?” <\/p>\n
“Because it\u2019s cleaner in the bedroom.” <\/p>\n
“You mean, you can\u2019t stop it, it\u2019s gonna happen.”<\/p>\n
“That\u2019s right, Rush, you gotta get out of the Dark Ages.” <\/p>\n
I said, “Well, do you provide \u2019em a pack of cigarettes on the nightstand?” <\/p>\n
“Why would I do that?” <\/p>\n
“Well, that\u2019s traditionally what happens after you have sex, light up a cigarette.” <\/p>\n
“Well, no, of course I don\u2019t advocate smoking.” <\/p>\n
“Oh, you don\u2019t advocate smoking, but you will sanction and promote your teenage daughter having sex with a boyfriend in your house?” <\/p>\n
“Yes, if the only alternative is that they\u2019re gonna do it in the back of a car.” <\/p>\n
So it\u2019s inculcated now. Foster Friess is not that old, and it\u2019s not that long ago that there was a stigma. It\u2019s not that long ago, put an aspirin between your knees, and Andrea Mitchell just can\u2019t believe it, “I\u2019m trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly.” Play it again. We can fit it in before the break, number five, play it again. <\/p>\n

MITCHELL: Excuse me, I\u2019m just trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right, well, Andrea Mitchell catching her breath probably still, and the rest of the Drive-Bys went nuts, too.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I really don\u2019t care. It\u2019s just one of these days. Come on, folks, don\u2019t tell me you don\u2019t have those days where you just don\u2019t care. (interruption) No, it\u2019s not that I think all\u2019s lost. No, no, no, no. I just don\u2019t care. In fact, being completely honest, back in the early days when this program was rocketing, the media, “Well, how long are you gonna do this?” They were eager for me to say I\u2019m quitting tomorrow. “Well, how long you gonna do this?” <\/p>\n
And I said, “I don\u2019t know.” <\/p>\n
“Well, you gotta have some idea when it\u2019s gonna end.” <\/p>\n
I said, “Well, do you?” <\/p>\n
Some guy, some journalist, I forget, there were a bunch of them, “Do you have any idea when you\u2019re gonna quit your job?” <\/p>\n
“Well, no.”<\/p>\n
“But clearly this can\u2019t go on this way.”<\/p>\n
“Why can\u2019t it go on this way?” <\/p>\n
“Well, it just can\u2019t.” <\/p>\n
I said, “Look, let me answer your question this way.” I actually said this. “If I ever get up someday and what\u2019s in the newspaper doesn\u2019t interest me, then I\u2019ll know.” <\/p>\n
“Really?” <\/p>\n
I said, “Yeah. It\u2019s gonna take a whole bunch of days getting up where I don\u2019t care what\u2019s in the newspaper.” <\/p>\n
Now, is this the first of one of those many days? No. I just don\u2019t care. There\u2019s nothing in this Stack that I said, “I can\u2019t wait to talk about that.” There\u2019s nothing in here that deserves to be at the top of the Stack, and, by the same token, there\u2019s nothing in here that deserves to be at the bottom. It doesn\u2019t matter. (interruption) No, I\u2019m not depressed. No, no, nothing happened. Look, I know every one of you, some days you just don\u2019t care. Nothing floats your boat. Not depressed. You\u2019re just flatline. You don\u2019t care. I\u2019m talking about mood flatline. I\u2019m not talking about heart rate. Come on, folks, you gotta cut me some slack. This is like the third day in 23 years I haven\u2019t cared. I could come in here and fake it, but that\u2019s not what Open Line Friday is all about. I fake it Monday through Thursday. On Friday I just let it hang loose. So I don\u2019t really care. <\/p>\n
I mean this Andrea Mitchell stuff — see, everything happening I predicted. We\u2019re living in exactly what I thought was gonna happen. Nothing surprises me. There\u2019s not one thing in the news that shocks me. Not one thing. What they\u2019re trying to do to Santorum, I mean Newt\u2019s guy, Mr. Las Vegas, he\u2019s gonna pump, what is it, ten million more into Newt\u2019s campaign. Kathryn asked me last night, “Where is this Republican nomination?” I said, “I can\u2019t began begin to tell you where this Republican nomination is. I can\u2019t begin to tell you where it\u2019s going. Right now I couldn\u2019t tell you that any of these three guys has a better chance than the other of winning this thing. It\u2019s wide open as far as I\u2019m concerned.” <\/p>\n
And I\u2019ll tell you this. Whoever wins it, there\u2019s no doubt in my mind it\u2019s gonna be pedal to the metal support time. ‘Cause I don\u2019t think this election\u2019s about our guys. They\u2019re trying to make it about our guys. This election is about Obama. As far as I\u2019m concerned it\u2019s always gonna be about Obama. It\u2019s not gonna be about anything else. You have to deal with the cards that you\u2019re dealt, and we don\u2019t have Ronald Reagan and a list of nominees. We just don\u2019t have it. It\u2019s not there. You can pretend and get upset, we just don\u2019t have Reagan out there. There hasn\u2019t been a Reagan since Reagan, other than me, and I\u2019m not running. Palin\u2019s not running. Marco Rubio\u2019s not running. They\u2019re not running. <\/p>\n
Wait. Geraldo is on TV. Did somebody die? Virginia. Close. He\u2019s talking about a murder trial. Yep, yep. The grim reaper. <\/p>\n
All right, here, let\u2019s go back to the media here. This is Foster Friess. This is the guy who\u2019s donating to the super PAC for Santorum, and, as you know, they\u2019re trying to say that Santorum wants every woman barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, and he\u2019s trying to eliminate contraception, all this silly stuff. And, by the way, this isn\u2019t gonna work. CNN has a poll out, 50%, I think it\u2019s just a little over statistically, a little over 50%, disagree with the president\u2019s notion that contraception should be provided free of charge by somebody else — 50%. Like most everything else is, it is not an 80-20 issue. The Democrats are not winning on this. They\u2019re not dominating on this. It\u2019s a CNN poll, and it clearly indicates that it is a 50-50 proposition. The Democrats do not own this. <\/p>\n
You would think, the way the media\u2019s covering this, that 80% of the country is in favor of insurance companies or churches or somebody else providing their contraception free of charge and if it\u2019s denied they\u2019re ready to burn down the house, burn down the town. It\u2019s not the case. Anyway, all of that coming up, \u2019cause that stuff I just mentioned is in the Stack somewhere. Here we go, just to set it all up again. This is Foster Friess yesterday with Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, on her show. <\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foster-Friess-02.jpg\"\/)
MITCHELL: Excuse me, I\u2019m just trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, are you picturing Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, with an aspirin between her knees? ‘Cause I am. That\u2019s what ticks her off. Can you imagine Andrea Mitchell sitting at her anchor desk with an aspirin between her knees, all ticked off? So last night and this morning we have a montage of a bunch of media people sliming Foster Friess and bashing Santorum for his association with him.<\/p>\n
O\u2019DONNELL: His problem is that he has now a public association with a very flaky seeming guy.<\/p>\n
VAN SUSTEREN: The creepy supporter. The guy who says something really creepy.<\/p>\n
BARNICLE: Is Foster Friess a made up name?<\/p>\n
GEIST: Any day where you have to go on TV and declare that your chief supporter is not creepy is a bad day in my estimation.<\/p>\n
DEUTSCH: These main super PAC guys are the creepiest guys.<\/p>\n
MATTHEWS: You are talking about a guy from the Cro-Magnon era.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right, now, so you got Foster Friess and what he said was innocent as it could be, and it was an accurate depiction of social mores not that long ago in the country. And now, all of a sudden, he\u2019s Cro-Magnon. He\u2019s a creep. Santorum is guilty by association. Santorum\u2019s just as creepy, \u2019cause this guy is creepy. But I happen to remember a guy by the name of Jeremiah Wright who was out saying some really, really anti-American, dirty, provocative, profane, insulting stuff, and the Drive-Bys said, “Well, you know, Obama\u2019s not Reverend Wright. Reverend Wright had nothing to do with Obama, and Obama hardly knew Reverend Wright, no, no, no, Wright\u2019s not even an adviser. Obama never even listened to Reverend Wright. He sat there for 20 years in the pew, but he never heard this. You can\u2019t do that. That\u2019s dirty politics. You can\u2019t say just \u2019cause Wright said that and Obama was in his church for 20 years that Obama agrees with that. Obama never even heard that. Wright\u2019s not even part of the campaign. Come on, there\u2019s nothing here. Move on.” Remember that\u2019s what they all told us about Reverend Wright? <\/p>\n
Now, here\u2019s Foster Friess with an aspirin between Andrea Mitchell\u2019s knees, and the media is going jack-you-know-what. The media is going crazy and they\u2019re trying to bury Santorum. He\u2019s guilty by association with a Cro-Magnon creep. Greta Van Susteren last night, On the Record, she interviewed Santorum. They talked about it.<\/p>\n
VAN SUSTEREN: There are two issues. One is the creepy supporter, the guy who says something really creepy about you and who\u2019s a huge fundraiser for your campaign, will you at least correct him about — I — I think most women don\u2019t think it\u2019s particularly funny, his comment.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Santorum-7_large.jpg\"\/)
RUSH: Oh, now wait just a second, what the heck was off-color about it? You want to see off-color, go to the Planned Parenthood website. Off-color? What in the world is off-color about making a joke about Andrea Mitchell putting an aspirin between her knees? (interruption) Well, I\u2019m sorry, forgive me liberal tight butt women don\u2019t think it\u2019s funny, and so therefore it\u2019s impermissible, and therefore it\u2019s off-color? Off-color? An aspirin between their knees is off-color? (interruption) No, not true. Snerdley just said to me, “Anything between their knees is off-color.” Not true. Go to the Planned Parenthood website. There are accepted things for women to put between their knees. <\/p>\n
Now, you won\u2019t find an aspirin there, but you\u2019ll find dildos and whatever else in the Planned Parenthood — you\u2019ll find it all there. You\u2019ll find every sex aid and instructions on how to use them at the Planned Parenthood website. And no age restriction on this stuff. (interruption) What, are you upset because I used the word — (interruption) Okay, give me a substitute word then. What is the acceptable substitute word because I\u2019m about to be Foster Friessed here, right? (interruption) What was that? Okay, a vibrator. You like that? We\u2019re all adults here, folks. The kids are in school, and the ones who are around, believe me, don\u2019t know where they are, and they know about this stuff anyway. In fact, many of them are trying the aspirin trick right now to see if they could defy it. Yeah, in fact, you can\u2019t even get an aspirin in school now without the nurse. You can get a condom, you can get an abortion, you can\u2019t get an aspirin. Off-color? Off-color joke? <\/p>\n
You know how my mother described loose women? You know what I mean by loose women? And, by the way, why is there not something called loose men? It\u2019s expected behavior. My mother, the way she described them to my brother and me, she described them as round heels. I said, “What do you mean, mother?” “Round heels, son, they just roll right over.” That\u2019s from the same era as the aspirin between the knees. Round heels. Anyway, we\u2019re not through. That\u2019s Greta, she talked to Santorum. Santorum, “It was a bad joke. It was an off-color joke.” (interruption) Oh, yeah, the pregnancy rates were nothing compared to what they are today. Oh, yeah, Planned Parenthood would not have been able to stay in business back then. Boring two-parent families. <\/p>\n
Gee, I can remember when I was in junior high, the principal, somebody found a condom on the school grounds and they conducted a week-long investigation to try to find out whose it was because they wanted to suspend \u2019em. Today they give \u2019em away. I know I\u2019m dating myself here. I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything off-color about an aspirin between her knees. Gosh, I\u2019ll tell you, I\u2019m really gonna get into it now. I\u2019ll just tell you, all Foster Friess did was have a cute, funny way of describing virtue.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: You boil it all down, what you end up with is something very simple. Liberals want life without consequences. Fail at your job, no consequences, doesn\u2019t matter, there\u2019s all kinds of government help. Fail at being a father, no problem, there\u2019s no consequences. Sex, whenever you want it, no matter the outcome, no problem, we\u2019ve got abortion, we got birth control pills, we got condoms, ah, no consequences. And without consequences, there\u2019s no virtue. And that\u2019s all Foster Friess was talking about. Simply talking about women with virtue, pure and simple. And the fact that so few people understand that is shocking. Sad, but shocking. <\/p>\n
Let me tell you a little bit about Foster Friess. “Friess has been involved in numerous charitable activities. He and his wife run the Friess Family Foundation, whose activities include supporting Christian mobile medical services, sponsoring Water Missions International\u2019s work to provide clean water in Malawi, and donating to relief and recovery efforts following natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indonesian tsunami, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Friess sponsored a matching grant program to raise $2 million for relief efforts for the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and personally traveled to the areas most affected by the earthquake and tsunami in order to speak with local church and organization leaders to identify the best efforts to support. He sponsored another matching grant for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, raising more than $4 million to support Katrina victims.”<\/p>\n
Some of the awards that he has received for his philanthropy: “Childhelp Spirit of the Children Award, 2010, Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award presented by the champ, Humanitarian of the Year presented at the National Charity Awards Dinner, Albert Schweitzer Leadership Award, David R. Jones Award for Leadership in Philanthropy, Thomas J. Reese Award from Catholic Charities.” That\u2019s who he is. A man of virtue. A man who\u2019s done far more for people than any liberal in politics today, from Barack Obama on down. And so now he has to be summarily destroyed while we were told to ignore Jeremiah Wright. No, Jeremiah Wright had nothing to do with Obama, there\u2019s nothing to see here. <\/p>\n
In 1965, 24% of black infants and 3% of white infants were born to single mothers. By 1990 — and that\u2019s still 20 years ago — by 1990 the rates had risen to 64% of black infants and 18% of white infants born to single mothers. It\u2019s gotta be worse now. This is statistics from the Brookings Institute, from a 1996 report. New York Times, 2009: Unmarried mothers gave birth to four out of every ten babies born in the US in 2007. He was just talking about virtue, nothing more.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I still have a couple sound bites left on the Foster Friess business, the media going ape, going bananas. We\u2019re up now to Santorum himself on CBS This Morning, the cohost is Charlie Rose. He said, “Foster Friess\u2019 comments, what have you said to him about those comments other than what you\u2019ve said to the press? You know, this creepy, crazy stuff about women and an aspirin between their knees. What have you said?”<\/p>\n
SANTORUM: I\u2019m not responsible for every comment that a supporter of mine makes. It was a bad joke, it was a stupid joke, it\u2019s not reflective of me or my record on this issue. You know, it\u2019s funny that I\u2019ve been criticized by Governor Romney and by Ron Paul for actually having voted for something called Title X, federal funding of contraception. So this is the same gotcha politics that you get from the media, and I\u2019m just not gonna play that game. I\u2019m not responsible for any comment that anybody who supports me make, and my record stands for itself.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. Then we go on. Charlie Rose said, “Well, you\u2019ve been identified as a social conservative. Those issues have been part of what you have said to the country, so this isn\u2019t gotcha. What this is is trying to understand exactly what Rick Santorum stands for and what he might say or do as president.”<\/p>\n
SANTORUM: Charlie, when you quote a supporter of mine who tells a bad off-color joke and somehow I\u2019m responsible for that, that\u2019s gotcha. This is what you guys do. You don\u2019t do this with President Obama. In fact, with President Obama what you did was you went out and defended him against someone he sat in a church for, for 20 years, and defended him, “Oh, he can\u2019t possibly believe what he listened to for 20 years.” It\u2019s a double standard. This is what you\u2019re pulling off, and I\u2019m gonna call you on it. The fact is I\u2019m here in Detroit and we\u2019re focused on the economy and the jobs.<\/p>\n

![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaWrightAudacityBook.jpg\"\/)
RUSH: Yeah, we\u2019re supposed to ignore that. You can\u2019t tie Obama to that. They\u2019re some of his supporters, guilt by association, he never heard him say that kind of thing. That we were supposed to forget. This is creepy, it\u2019s filthy, it\u2019s trashy, it\u2019s dirty, it\u2019s insulting, it\u2019s repulsive, it\u2019s stupid, it\u2019s off-color, it\u2019s profane, it\u2019s all the rotten, worthless stuff in the world that we\u2019re supposed to never hear. <\/p>\n
FRIESS: Back in my days they used Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn\u2019t that costly.<\/p>\n
MITCHELL: Excuse me, I\u2019m just trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (imitating Wright) Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country, in a culture that\u2019s controlled by rich white people. Hillary ain\u2019t never been called an N-word. Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty. <\/p>\n
Pay no attention to that, folks. Barack Obama never heard that. Now, we\u2019re gonna get ticked off over a man of virtue talking about an aspirin between women\u2019s knees. That stuff we\u2019re supposed to ignore, and we laugh at Bill Clinton ruining Lewinsky\u2019s life and JFK ruining who knows how many other women\u2019s lives, while we\u2019re told we are the party that hates women?<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Nah, Reverend Wright\u2019s okay. He\u2019s fine because he\u2019s pro-abortion. And that\u2019s all it takes. If you are pro-abortion, you get a gold star, you\u2019re a Democrat in good standing, and you can do anything and be defended. You can do anything and remain a ranking member of the tribe. You just have to be pro-abortion. I\u2019m thinking about Obama here and cutting Social Security. It\u2019s really what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s defunding it. But then looking at it from his perspective, why not? Those angry old white people aren\u2019t gonna vote for him anyway. He\u2019s not aiming at the votes of Social Security recipients. He\u2019s not aiming at them. Those are just a bunch of bitter clingers anyway. <\/p>\n
AP, State-Controlled Associated Press, a story by two women. This is illustrative of the chickification of American news. Listen to the first paragraph of a news story, ladies and gentlemen, a news story. “Most Americans don\u2019t share Rick Santorum\u2019s absolutist take on abortion. He\u2019s out of step on women in combat. He questions the values of the two-thirds of mothers who work. He\u2019s even troubled by something as commonplace as birth control — for married couples.” That is an AP news story by Connie Cass and Jennifer Agiesta. This is supposed to be a news article. Most Americans, I think by now, realize the AP is no longer a news outlet. It\u2019s just part of the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. <\/p>\n
The next thing they write is: “Even among a Republican presidential field eager to please religious conservatives, Santorum\u2019s ideas stand out,” which is to say he\u2019s even crazier than the rest of the Republicans. “A Catholic father of seven whose kids are home-schooled –” they write. See, we told you he\u2019s crazy. “Santorum may seem to wear his conservatism as comfortably as his sweater vests. But he\u2019s walked a careful path, keeping the more provocative opinions that helped sink his re-election to the Senate in 2006 mostly out of his presidential campaign.” Now, this is a twofer from the AP. Santorum has not kept his conservative views secret, at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
