RUSH: Champaign, Illinois, Sandy. Great to have you. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m doing wonderful. Wonderful to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I have a little story to tell. I\u2019ll make it quick. Twenty-three years ago, in 1994, my husband and I were going on our 20th anniversary trip. He was listening to you, and I got so mad \u2019cause I am ashamed to say I was a Clintonite. And he wouldn\u2019t stop listening, and I said, “I\u2019m gonna go all the way to the back of the van if you don\u2019t turn that off.” And he said, “Just listen.” So I start listening, and I was converted very quickly. (laughing) I\u2019m happy to say I\u2019ve been listening to you for 23 years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No kidding.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It was your husband. Why had you resisted prior to that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, because, you know, you listen to the liberals — I mean, we worked on Jimmy Carter\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: But that\u2019s sad.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All the more reason, why did you stick with the Democrat Party after that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know. But my husband was with Reagan, and I was really fighting it. I was very young. We got married when I was 17. Didn\u2019t have to. That was just what we did back then.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I started listening to you and was doing more research and figuring out, “Okay, I need to mature here and grow up, because this isn\u2019t the way to go.” And I always tell my friends that are Democrats, I say, “I just grew up.” And they don\u2019t like that, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, of course not.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s what happened.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But you also had fallen prey or victim to all of the nonsensical stuff said about me —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yep.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: — and the program, and you believed it. “That\u2019s horrible. This guy\u2019s ick, I don\u2019t want anything –” and you\u2019d never listened.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yep.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your husband did, but since it was your husband, you didn\u2019t believe him, he was biased. You had to hear it for yourself and he had to insist on it. What was it like, that moment when you first began to think you might have been wrong in your judgments about this program?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I felt pretty foolish because the whole Clinton thing was going on with the dress and Lewinsky, and I remember Hillary on television saying this is just a conservative — you know, they\u2019re trying —<\/p>\n

RUSH: She said it was a vast right-wing conspiracy out to get them.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right. And I remember that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now, Sandy, wait a minute. She said that on the Today show. Did you actually — do not misunderstand the tone of my voice; I\u2019m simply seeking information. Did you actually believe her when she said that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I didn\u2019t. I just saw it —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, a lot of people did. A lot of people actually believed, those of us — and at the time I was the Mister Big in the vast right-wing conspiracy, and they were accusing us of actually ordering the pizza and arranging for Monica Lewinsky to be at the White House to go accept the delivery and then take the pizza to Clinton in the Oval Office and then magic happened. We apparently made all that happen, the vast right-wing conspiracy. People believed it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, you know, I know men, and even though I was younger back then, I know what my friends\u2019 husbands did and I was like, you know, this just isn\u2019t true. He has done these things. I mean, if you really look at him and watch him, and what I don\u2019t understand is like today, liberals get away with everything. I can\u2019t believe what is going on. When you said they kicked ICE out of California, I was like, how can this possibly be happening in our country? I just don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Join the crowd. I could easily explain to you how it happens. It would just be a further explanation, definition of liberals, but the real question is, why is it permitted to happen? And that\u2019s where Trump has the opportunity to be the biggest difference that we\u2019ve had. Republicans have just forever looked the other way when Clinton was doing things. I\u2019m talking about other than the impeachment process, which is about something else. But if nobody\u2019s gonna stop you, you can get away with anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
