RUSH: My friends, I\u2019m in a dilemma today. I saw a story. I was shocked to see this. The divorce rate is down. ‘Despite the common notion that America remains plagued by a divorce epidemic, the national per capita divorce rate has declined steadily since its peak in 1981 and is now at its lowest level since 1970. … Even those who study marriage and work to make it more successful can\u2019t decide whether the trend is grounds for celebration or cynicism.\u2019 I must say that I fall into that category. Well, I\u2019m not sure whether it\u2019s good news. But, see, I\u2019m a thinking, engaged person. I can\u2019t take myself out of the story. Now, the story is kind of funny. This is an AP story<\/a>. Other researchers have documented what they call the ‘divorce divide.\u2019 Did you know there\u2019s a divorce divide? There is, and what do you think it is? <\/p>\n

Well, the divorce divide contends ‘divorce rates are falling substantively among college-educated couples but not among less-affluent, less-educated couples.\u2019 So the rich, college educated are staying married but the poor and the less educated, those with subprime loans, those people are still getting divorced. The other ones know how much it\u2019s going to cost them. They stay together. The less affluent, cost is really not a factor there. I think it\u2019s a factor. Well… ‘One of the researchers whose studies detected the ‘divorce divide\u2019 is University of Maryland sociologist Steven Martin. Comparing marriages from early 1970s to those of the early \u201990s, Martin found that the rate of breakups within 10 years of marriage dropped by one-third among college-educated women while remaining stable among less-educated women.\u2019 Wait a minute. Where are the men in this? A woman just can\u2019t get divorced. A man has to be divorced at the same time. (interruption) There are not enough gay marriages out there legalized for this to be factored in statistically. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my problem with this. Divorce has been very, very good to me. I mentioned earlier I was at a dinner party last night. A good friend here in Palm Beach threw a dinner party. This guy has got a style of running a dinner party. He likes to stir the pot. At some point during dinner, you just know that he\u2019s going to ask the table a question that\u2019s designed to get the fur flying. Of course, when I\u2019m there, I get the question. And last night there were some very ardent fundraisers and supporters of Hillary Clinton and others who were not ardent supporters of Hillary Clinton. So the question that was asked, ‘Rush, please tell us what you dislike the most about Hillary Clinton.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Well, of course, this is a no win. So I said, ‘Well…\u2019 reminding the table that our host loves to stir things up at his dinner parties, ‘before I answer the question, I would like to toast the host and hostess for another wonderful dinner party with a great, eclectic group of people I\u2019ve enjoyed meeting — and some of these people I\u2019ve wanted to get to know for a long time,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, just being my usual, charming self. Then I answered the question. I said, ‘It\u2019s difficult to say there\u2019s something I dislike the most about Hillary Clinton. Frankly, in a weird way, she\u2019s had to eat a whole lot of excrement sandwiches in her life, and some days she\u2019s had mustard to put on them and some days not. Some days mayonnaise and some days just plain.\u2019 <\/p>\n

I just tried to be as diplomatic, because I leave the politics at the office when I go out. I want to have fun at these things. I\u2019m halfway through the answer — I went alone, which is always more fun for me. I went alone. There was a woman sitting next to me who I had not met. I met her just last night, and halfway through this answer she pinches my thigh, and I stopped, and I told the table, ‘She just pinched my thigh and we\u2019re not even married. She was trying to get me to shut up and we\u2019re not even married.\u2019 Of course, that broke the ice and everybody started laughing. I was thinking, ‘If we had been married, what would the pinch have been?\u2019 She probably would have kicked me a number of times, until I shut up. But last night I was not obligated to shut up. I was not obligated to do anything. I was free to comment on it. I was just stopped dead in my tracks. How many times, you husbands, when you\u2019re in such situations and you\u2019re talking your wife nudges you, kicks you under the table, how many of you start boiling, but you shut up? You shut up. You make apologies or whatever. That\u2019s not going to happen to me. I was telling Snerdley earlier, I\u2019ve got five people I trust, and I\u2019ve told them all, ‘If I lose my mind again and I tell you that I\u2019m thinking of getting married, I want you to put me in a straight jacket and take me to the beach at high tide.\u2019 I\u2019m serious about it.\u2019 If that happens, here\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do: I\u2019m just going to buy the woman a house and break up with her, because that will be the end result anyway. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I\u2019ve been getting emails, folks. People misunderstood one aspect of the story I just told about the woman seated to my left who pinched me on the thigh. I\u2019ve got so many emails from women: ‘You\u2019re going to let that psycho b*tch determine your future?\u2019 She was sweet! She was trying to be helpful! She was just being wifey, and we\u2019re not married. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying. Anyway, the primary reason the divorce rate is down is because I haven\u2019t gotten married again. That\u2019s something that\u2019s not in the story, but I have to throw it in there for things to be statistically accurate. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sorry, folks. I was reading emails from women who are alternately chuckling or outraged. One of them said, ‘Do you hate women? Would you just be honest?\u2019 No, folks, no! It\u2019s quite the opposite. It is quite the opposite. The furthest possible thing from the truth is that I hate or dislike women. By the way, when I talk about divorce, I am not blaming the women I\u2019ve married. It\u2019s not their fault that… Look, I\u2019ve got to stop here, but I\u2019m just no good at it. Okay? Pure and simple. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Onesti. [Pronounced: Honesty<\/emphasize>] That\u2019s her name. Jacksonville, Florida. Hi, Onesti. Nice to have you with us. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Major Rush Baby dittos, Mr. Limbaugh. I was calling about those marriage and divorce statistics that you mentioned a little while ago. I don\u2019t think this study is taking into account the millions of couples that are bypassing marriage altogether and just shacking up or just producing children without ever marrying.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Well, you may have a point about that if we\u2019re going to talk about statistics. The divorce rate is said to be the lowest it\u2019s been since 1970. Onesti\u2019s point is less people are getting married. So if you\u2019re getting married less you\u2019re getting less divorces. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Exactly. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I didn\u2019t read the whole story, but is that in there? It is factored in there?<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: It is factored in there. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Okay. It\u2019s on page three and the interesting stuff in the story to me was on page one and two. Snerdley told me they say it is a reason. So you\u2019re right. I don\u2019t know how big a factor it is. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: I think it would be a pretty big one, because I know with lots of my friends, my generation — <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: How old are you? <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Twenty-five. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Well, your generation is hooking up — not even shacking <\/emphasize>up, hooking up. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: It\u2019s pretty sad. I\u2019m embarrassed to be the generation I am. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: It\u2019s a problem. It\u2019s loveless sex. It\u2019s predominantly big in a lot of big time universities (interruption). Well, because it devalues women. That\u2019s precisely the problem. You know, Snerdley is out here stirring the pot, like the host at dinner. Snerdley… Let me tell you, Onesti, what he just said to me. He said, ‘My God, this is every kid\u2019s dream growing up. The hook-up thing. They weren\u2019t hooking up when we were young.\u2019 But I\u2019m telling you, it devalues women. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: I would agree. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: It\u2019s going to have long-term effects on those women, bad, bad effects. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: The funny thing is that some of the women of my generation are seeing the shack-up trend with our mothers\u2019 generation and going, ‘That didn\u2019t work. We\u2019re not going to do that,\u2019 and we\u2019re staying home with our kids and being more traditional than our own mothers were.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: But you\u2019re married now? <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Yes, sir, I am. Been married for about five and a half years, and happily so. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: So you got married before you were 20? <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Yes, sir. I was 19. I had been in love with the man since I was 13. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: That melts my heart. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: We have a long and silly love story. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I wouldn\u2019t know, but it warms my heart, nevertheless. I had a question I was going to ask you. It has slipped — oh, when you said that you don\u2019t want to live the way your parents did, your mothers, you don\u2019t want to be those same kind of parents, this is exactly what I have said. When we have discussions about the cultural rot, and every generation thinks the cultural rot during their time is worse than it\u2019s ever been. That\u2019s not true. There\u2019s been cultural rot since there\u2019s been culture. But in a free society like ours, what always puts the brakes on the country going down the tubes is precisely attitudes like yours. You\u2019re 25 and you\u2019re looking at adults of your parents\u2019 age and older saying, ‘I don\u2019t want to live that way,\u2019 and this is how it happens. It evolves slowly and it\u2019s not the result of any movement. It\u2019s just young people look at the way their parents are living and if they don\u2019t like it they don\u2019t want to duplicate it. Certainly nobody gets married wanting to get divorced or even expecting to — except me. Nobody wants to have meaninglessness in their lives. You probably see a lot of people living their lives that don\u2019t have a whole lot of meaning that you can perceive, and you don\u2019t want that for yourself. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Exactly. From what I can see, radical feminism sure doesn\u2019t work. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Amen to that. Wow. What a day this has been to reinforce my confidence in the future of the country. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Well, I\u2019m glad to be a part of that. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Just don\u2019t call me Mister anymore. Call me Rush or whatever. Don\u2019t call me Mister. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: I\u2019ve been listening to you since the \u201980s, so I can\u2019t help it. Sorry. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: How did you get the name Onesti? <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: My parents were both young and my mother was reading a novel by Piers Anthony, Centaur Aisle, and the main character in the book couldn\u2019t spell worth beans, and thought that was how the word ‘honesty\u2019 was supposed to be spelled. They thought it was pretty and that\u2019s how I got my name.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: She spells her name H-o-n-e-s-t-i. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: It\u2019s O-n-e-s-t-i. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s no H on it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No H. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Oh, there\u2019s no H on it. Snerdley screwed that up. Alright, it\u2019s great to hear from you. Thank you very much for the call. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I just looked up. I\u2019ve been looking at the computer. You people watching on the Dittocam know this. I look at the computer and am doing some stuff there. I\u2019m getting my share of grief on the computer, like, I ‘don\u2019t spend this much time with men. Why is that?\u2019 Go figure it out, guys. So I turn and I look at the call roster computer: ‘Martha, St. Louis,\u2019 and the subject line… I said, ‘Snerdley, why are you doing this to me?\u2019 <\/p>\n

He said, ‘It\u2019s Open Line Friday.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So here\u2019s Martha in St. Louis. Hi, Martha. It\u2019s nice to have you on the program — and by the way, I love that name. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Thank you very much, Rush. Can I play Dr. Ruth with you for just a minute? <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Dr. Ruth? She was a sex doctor! <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Well, I know, but I really believe that you do love women, and even though you\u2019ve been married and divorced three times, you continue to tell everybody you love women. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Wait a minute! Don\u2019t put it that way. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Okay. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I\u2019m only saying that because I\u2019m being challenged here in the e-mail. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: But you do love women? <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Yes. To a fault. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: All right. What is the perfect woman for you, do you really believe? <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: You know, I should do this. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: You really should. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I actually should put it down on a list on a piece of paper, and if the future Mrs. Ex-Rush Limbaugh doesn\u2019t meet the criteria, then, bam!<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: It works. I did it, and I didn\u2019t settle the second time. I got the perfect man. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: You know, that\u2019s right. Most people settle because they don\u2019t like themselves enough. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Exactly, and I don\u2019t want you to settle. But I would love to see you with a woman that you\u2019re happy with. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Why? What is the big deal? <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Well, because you\u2019re an interesting man. You\u2019re energetic. You\u2019re humorous. Somebody could really love you and you could really love somebody else. I know it. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Get me the violins. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: (Laughing) I don\u2019t mean to sound like that. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: This kind of talk embarrasses me. Is my face getting flushed? <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: I knew it would. That\u2019s why I asked if I could do it. But in the privacy of your own home, why don\u2019t you put down the things that would make you the most happy, and then you could say, ‘I could marry that person.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: And then put it on the website? <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: No, no. This is for you. I don\u2019t want to know what it is. I want you to get in touch with what it is. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: See, there\u2019s a part of me that thinks I\u2019m married to the audience, that I\u2019m married to my job, and that this is where I devote 90% of my energy. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: And you do. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: When I\u2019m not here I do. Ninety percent of my thoughts are, ‘How will this work on the radio?\u2019 Like at that dinner party last night. It\u2019s show prep. I had fun, don\u2019t misunderstand. I leave the office at the office when I go home. My point is that I\u2019m wedded to this. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Well, did your wives feel left out completely? <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s a more complicated answer than I probably want to get into. Yeah, to an extent, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s unique, though. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: No, it\u2019s not. I don\u2019t know. Maybe you can\u2019t share the audience and a wife. Maybe it\u2019s not possible to do that. But a really secure woman would love it if you could. She would love it. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: (interruption) How do I feel about what? A secure woman? Now Snerdley is asking me a question. I have all these people asking me what I think about what you just said. Snerdley is asking me. He wants to know how I feel about whatever you said about my sharing an audience and a woman. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Right. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: You realize how that sounds? (Laughing)<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: It\u2019s a serious question. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I know it is, and it\u2019s a valid serious question. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Right. He was so glad I asked that. He said, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is a great question. I can\u2019t wait to hear what he says.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Yeah, he thinks I\u2019m going to expose a bunch of private stuff on the radio. That\u2019s what titillates people. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Well, I\u2019m not after private stuff. I\u2019m after someone falling in love with you and you falling in love with them. That\u2019s what I\u2019m after. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Why? Seriously now. Why does it matter, Dr. Martha, to you? You\u2019ve gotten so much joy out of love you want to share, that\u2019s what it is?<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: I do indeed, and it\u2019s wonderful. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I understand that. I love sharing my passions, too. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: See, there you go. Steve Smith is the best man in the whole world (getting choked up) and when I talk about him I could cry. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: That would be your husband —<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Yeah, it would be. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: — or your ex-husband? I\u2019m just kidding. I can\u2019t stop making these jokes. I appreciate that this matters so much to you. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: It does. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I get embarrassed talking about this stuff. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: I do too. I\u2019m glad I\u2019m not on a video so people don\u2019t see me. Okay, well, you think about it over the weekend and next Friday you tell us who that lady might be. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: You said not to make it public! <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Well, I really do want to know (laughing) then just call me back. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Leave your number with Snerdley. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: I will. I\u2019m pulling for you. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I\u2019ve had people tell me — before you, you\u2019re like the third or fourth — you need to put this down on a piece of paper. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Really, you should. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Like the ideal woman. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: She\u2019s out there. I know you can do it. I know you can. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: It would be no problem doing it. It\u2019s just that that feels discriminatory to me, ‘the ideal woman.\u2019 The concept of ideal is fleeting. It\u2019s like ‘perfect.\u2019 There\u2019s no such thing. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Wouldn\u2019t you say this woman cannot be jealous of anything that you do and she cannot be insecure?<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Well, obviously. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Yeah. She\u2019s got to be strong. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: When that happens, I have to cut my repertoire of discussion subjects in half if that\u2019s the case.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: No, you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

RUSH: For peace at home, yes. I have to. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Then you\u2019re settling. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Half of this show today could not have happened if I were married. I guarantee you. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: That\u2019s too bad. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m telling you. Exactly.<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Too bad. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Anyway, I have to run here, Martha. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Okay, love you! Bye! <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Don\u2019t hang up. Snerdley will get your phone number. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Oh that\u2019s right. Good. <\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Bye-bye. <\/line><\/p>\n
