Nice to have you with us on Open Line Friday, sir.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, it is an honor. First, a compliment on that Ball of Fire song, the Johnny Cash song here a couple weeks ago. I\u2019m still laughing about that one.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I just wanted to ask &#8212; I guess, as someone I emulate somewhat or you\u2019re on my list of people I emulate, I would ask &#8212; that you would live responsibly and not pollute. You\u2019ve been talking about SUVs and global warming. I don\u2019t buy the global warming thing much, either, but don\u2019t you think that pollution&#8230;? I mean, if you can live responsibly and not pollute, shouldn\u2019t you do that?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I do live responsibly and I don\u2019t pollute.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay, because I was under the impression &#8212;<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125104.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"159\" height=\"201\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: What a minute? What is all this? You\u2019re calling here with the assumption that I live irresponsibly and pollute?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Not irresponsibly. When you\u2019re talking about your vehicle, driving an SUV and &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I don\u2019t have an SUV. The staff has the SUV.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay. It\u2019s just the impression I got in listening to you over the last couple of weeks.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I don\u2019t like SUVs, frankly. I don\u2019t like riding in them. I don\u2019t like driving them, but the staff needs one to go to all the stores.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Sure. I guess my point is, as somebody who holds as much esteem as you do, to encourage, not necessarily because of global warming. I don\u2019t &#8212; like I say, I don\u2019t &#8212; agree that\u2019s the case, either.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Let\u2019s cut to the chase, sir. You are accusing me for some reason of living life to an excess, correct? You think I\u2019m doing more than I should be doing. I\u2019m living life excessively; I\u2019m going overboard; I have things I don\u2019t need; I go places I don\u2019t need to go. This is what you\u2019re saying, correct?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: No. No. The impression I got in listening to you over the last couple of weeks is that you\u2019re entitled to, you know, blow off living &#8212; your pollution or trying to diminish your pollution.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You need to be calling Algore. Algore is the one who has a big house and is going out and buying carbon credits and not cutting back on what he\u2019s using. I\u2019m still clueless as to what I\u2019m guilty of here.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I\u2019m not accusing you of living large or living irresponsibly.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: But you should, because I do. I have earned it. I like living large, and I like being a role model. I would hope others would emulate my example just as I have emulated others. I am proud as I can be of what I\u2019ve accomplished and what I have and what I do with it. I am proud as I can be of my philanthropy. I turn off lights at night. How many in the house do I have? (counting) I only leave a hundred of them on, something like that.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Kennewick, Washington, this is Ted.
