Great to have you, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m doing fine. And I just want to say I\u2019m a first-time caller and long-term listener and I feel like I\u2019m getting a giant autograph getting to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I really appreciate you taking time out to call us today from Houston.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m off work today \u2019cause I\u2019m flooded in, and normally I would try to call you but I\u2019m off the same days you\u2019re off so it just happened to work out &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute, when you say you\u2019re flooded in, does that mean you\u2019re at home?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Are you able to stay in your home or are you on the roof?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, I\u2019m in my house. I can actually drive around to a limited amount \u2019cause I have a truck, but there are a lot of roads that are cut off, they\u2019re too flooded.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Any damage in your house?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-225957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>CALLER: No. No. We\u2019re good.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Same thing for your neighborhood, for the most part?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, for the most part. There\u2019s a lot of neighborhoods around us that did get hit pretty hard.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Help us out here, John. All we can do is watch TV here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Those of us, people that don\u2019t know Houston, haven\u2019t been there, of course are being led to believe the whole city is underwater. How many people that live in Houston are able to function normally, that are not affected by the flood, their homes are not flooded, streets in the neighborhood they can drive around, what percentage of the city would you say is, as best it can be said in times like this, normal?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, not back to normal yet because the flooding of the main highways basically. But, I mean, there\u2019s a lot of people that are thriving and just seeking shelter and stuff like that. I mean, I\u2019ve in Houston all my life and I\u2019ve seen hurricane after hurricane after hurricane and I was even in the hurricane that when everybody &#8212; mass exodus because of Katrina, everybody had the immediate reaction to get out &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What about the area where the RNG stadium, the Astrodome are, that area? Is it flooded?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, there\u2019s a lot of people that are going there for shelter. There was a neighborhood that\u2019s kind of close to me that was hit really hard and they went in there in boats and got \u2019em out and then bused them, I believe, bused them all down to there so they could &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Is water inside RNG stadium?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: What I can tell, it\u2019s not. So it\u2019s just certain neighborhoods &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; that were just a little bit low that got hit hard.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-245377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HillaryHeadachePIX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HillaryHeadachePIX.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HillaryHeadachePIX-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>RUSH: Okay. I appreciate you giving us that status report. I know that\u2019s not why you called. What\u2019s on your mind?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I just want to say, I\u2019m a conservative, love listening to you all the time, and living with a, you know, liberal mayor, stuff like that, I would rather go through a hurricane than have to endure a Hillary Clinton presidency. That keeps me in perspective.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing).<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s a disaster we can never get over. We can bounce back as Houstonians. But that one&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What did I tell you about the people of Texas? So here\u2019s this guy, this is nothing compared to the disaster we\u2019d have if Hillary were president. That is awesome. That\u2019s John in Houston, so far not flooded out where he lives. See, sense of humor still alive and well. Glad to hear that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, there\u2019s also this stuff involving Hillary Clinton, and what\u2019s she saying&#8230;? Is there&#8230;? What is it, the audio version all of book that\u2019s out now or something where she says that she should have told &#8220;the big creep&#8221; to leave her alone, that she felt intimidated by his presence in the debate or some such thing? What is that the audio of? Is it a new book or is it the audio of an old book? (interruption) Oh, okay. So it\u2019s an advance of the new one coming out. Well, what a crock!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-245412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HillaryTrumpDebate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HillaryTrumpDebate.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HillaryTrumpDebate-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>The woman with the testicle lockbox wants us to believe that she\u2019s afraid of a guy that walks within five feet of her? (impression) &#8220;The big creep! I should have told him!&#8221; You know, this woman is a lame excuse for what everybody once thought she was. I don\u2019t understand why anybody ever was scared of this woman. I don\u2019t understand. FBI files and testicle lockbox notwithstanding, I don\u2019t understand it. This woman has never been what her reputation is. She\u2019s not The Smartest Woman in the World. She\u2019s not a political mastermind.<\/p>\n<p>She can\u2019t even overcome&#8230; She couldn\u2019t even parlay a rigged primary election in her favor to beating somebody who had no business being elected president in the normal way of politics. She couldn\u2019t overcome Obama in 2008. They paved the way for her twice in the Democrat Party! In 2008, that was the payoff for whatever they think Hillary did in saving Bill Clinton\u2019s presidency and the Democrat Party. And they didn\u2019t want her to win \u2019cause they went and they found this Obama guy. She didn\u2019t have a prayer once he shows up.<\/p>\n<p>So they guard against that happening again by Debbie &#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221; Schultz rigging the game against Crazy Bernie, but it\u2019s obvious Democrat voters would rather have Crazy Bernie. And now she\u2019s out there, and she cannot let this go. And she\u2019s acting childish. There\u2019s nothing admirable about the way she is comporting herself here, and you measure this against all of the accolades that we have been treated to by Democrats and by the media for the last 30 years about the Clintons. I mean, this is one giant fraud that we have had perpetrated on us.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing&#8230; This woman is demonstrating&#8230; She\u2019s now apparently gonna do a live stage show to try to sell this book. I found out how many copies of that book she sold. They gave her a $14 million advance. She sold 250,000 and probably a couple hundred thousand were bought by feminist unions and what have you. &#8220;Clinton to tell audiences her &#8216;personal, raw, detailed and surprisingly funny story\u2019 in unprecedented nationwide tour with tickets selling for up to $1,200.&#8221; Mrs. Clinton, be graceful and go away and let events resurrect you.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We have the Hillary sound bites that I\u2019m gonna hold over to tomorrow regarding her book tour and how she should have told Trump, &#8220;Get away from me, you big creep!&#8221; It\u2019s how he intimidated her during the debates.  It\u2019s a crock. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALLER: Well, I just want to say, I\u2019m a conservative, love listening to you all the time, and living with a, you know, liberal mayor, stuff like that, I would rather go through a hurricane than have to endure a Hillary Clinton presidency.
