Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m great. I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: We are like coast to coast, aren\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m in Virginia; you\u2019re in California.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. We\u2019re meeting halfway via phone line. Yes, that\u2019s very cool.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I know. It\u2019s such a pleasure and an honor to talk to you. We\u2019ve been listeners for 25-plus years.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. My husband was in law enforcement, and he got turned on to you, you know, driving in his patrol car. So he kind of turned me on to you too.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, good for him. God bless you both.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/514256\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, thank you. Thank you. I just wanted to mention, I know you talked a little about climate change today and my husband and I were just for some variety, watching the Miss America Pageant last night, and he\u2019s always great at picking the winners. So in between that and &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I heard about this.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You did?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. They were making the contestants, they were leading the contestants into criticizing Trump, right?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, it was very odd. The last four or five contestants, and they had a great variety of judges, I was pleased to see.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That show hasn\u2019t been the same since I was a judge and everybody knows it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: How long ago was that?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-246601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-091117-Rush-Miss-America.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-091117-Rush-Miss-America.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-091117-Rush-Miss-America-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>RUSH: I was a judge four or five years ago. In fact, I was a judge then, and here\u2019s the &#8212; you know, I didn\u2019t see the show, but I\u2019ve seen where some Miss America contestants were forced into or led into being critical of Trump. I don\u2019t know if it was during interviews or what have you. And it doesn\u2019t surprise me. It\u2019s the same thing we\u2019ve been talking about today. It\u2019s everything we\u2019ve been talking about today.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I was surprised to see it \u2019cause I didn\u2019t see the actual show. But then after I digested it for a minute it made total sense because there\u2019s the groupthink again, there\u2019s the consensus. Everybody hates Trump, Trump\u2019s a pig, everybody hates Trump, women hate Trump, oh, my God, women hate Trump because of the Billy Bush tape. You, Miss America Pageant contestant, you hate Trump, too, right, Trump\u2019s a pig, right? Things like that. I mean, that\u2019s not specific. I don\u2019t know what the actual questions were.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, what\u2019s a poor contestant supposed to do, figuring out, &#8220;No, I actually like President Trump. I had dinner with President Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You had dinner with Trump?&#8221; They don\u2019t want to go there. They\u2019ve politicized everything, folks, is the point. I appreciate the call, Cynthia. Thank you. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  I didn&#039;t see the show, but I&#039;ve seen where some Miss America contestants were forced into or led into being critical of Trump.
