RUSH: And we\u2019re gonna start on the phones with Laurie in ChampionsGate, Florida<\/a>. Great to have you on the program. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All of this craziness is so different from what we suffered for years with the media protecting, fawning over the Clintons and the Obamas, covering up, spinning, misdirecting scandals. How does it change? And the toothpaste is out of the tube with all this stuff. The Clinton years infuriated us, but we laughed at it because it was so ridiculous. But we\u2019re not laughing anymore, and I am so optimistic because President Trump is a steamroller and we\u2019re fighting with him because you have shown us we can take these people on. And I have become a more effective promoter of my ideas and opinions, and the big thing is, I\u2019m not shy about it anymore.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Way to be! Way to be! I\u2019m so happy to hear that. You know we had a caller yesterday — not to disparage the caller, but she said she wished Trump would stop tweeting because she\u2019s tired of having to defend him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No way. No way. And this is a huge departure for me. It makes me so much more optimistic, and I am on fire, Rush. And if you have time, I\u2019d like to make one small suggestion for your listeners.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, fine. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m a Rush 24\/7<\/a> member, and I have my podcast downloaded to my classic iPod, the one with the wheel.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: And I have the best fun spinning that thing back like a roulette wheel and listening to really, really old episodes because not only are they relevant, it\u2019s so much fun to look back and see if the premises of your ideas are right, you\u2019re right, it\u2019s very simple. And that has made me a more effective communicator.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I gotta tell you, that\u2019s actually quite brilliant. You know, I tell people a lot that RushLimbaugh.com is a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge, but it has the archives of everything that\u2019s happened —<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — on the program for years, and here you are just randomly spinning your iPod wheel, randomly going back in time, finding a random segment of the program; and you\u2019re sitting there marveling at how consistent I am from year to year to year and how right I am from year to year to year and how that is inspiring you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s so inspiring because it just makes me more confident that if the premise is correct, you can make a more effective argument. And then I\u2019m a better study because I re-listen and I relearn, and I\u2019ve now lived the consequences. So I can more effectively have an argument with somebody.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t improve on that, that is so right. You\u2019ve touched every base. Confidence, premise, confidence being the big one. And the confidence comes from the acquisition of knowledge combined with what your instinctive feelings, thoughts are. Once you can combine your instincts with knowledge and evidence and proof, that inspires confidence, and there\u2019s no stopping you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No way, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s true with anybody.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No way. We\u2019re on fire out here, Rush. We don\u2019t listen to polls. I don\u2019t listen to the media. I\u2019m living it. I\u2019m from Chicago originally. So that also helps me demonstrate that I know what I\u2019m talking about —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Before I let you go, where\u2019s ChampionsGate, Florida?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s I guess the infamous I-4 corridor, Osceola, Polk County?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s the largest big city you\u2019re next to? I don\u2019t drive so I don\u2019t know where the I-4 corridor is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Between Lakeland and Orlando.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know right where it is when you give me those data points. The I-4 Corridor, I\u2019d have to get a map out and find I-4. I only know I-95 and the turnpike. I-4 is on the other side of the state. I\u2019m never over there except when I fly over it, so I don\u2019t know. I know I-75 goes somewhere in there. But, anyway, have you ever heard of ChampionsGate, Florida, before today, before she called? Nobody has. So I\u2019m doing a service here. You know, this is empathy with the audience. The audience, the minute they heard me say ” ChampionsGate, Florida,” said, “What?” So I felt duty-bound to find out where it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And, Laurie, look, I\u2019m not blowing smoke here. Everything you\u2019ve said today is so right on. I\u2019m not talking about the complimentary things you\u2019ve said. I\u2019m talking about the way you have arrived at this point in your life where you\u2019re on fire based on your confidence, the things that have given you the confidence and never wavering on the premise or premises of what you believe.<\/p>\n

And, believe me, being able to summarily reject the media and not be affected by it, that is one of the major achievements everybody on our side should strive for, to be unaffected by the lies, unaffected by the bias, the drivel, or wherever it is. Because once you get past that, they can\u2019t harm you, they can\u2019t ruin your mood. They can make you mad, but as she\u2019s pointing out, all it does is fire you up. And I think she represents a lot of people, fired up, fed up, supportive.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna list Trump\u2019s achievements again that have taken place this year. And it will put at even more stark contrast the reasons the Never Trumpers on our side don\u2019t like him. It\u2019s amazing. I finally zeroed in on it. I\u2019ve always thought it was a class thing. And it is to a certain extent. But it\u2019s more than that. I\u2019ll just tell you what it is. I\u2019m gonna expand on this.<\/p>\n

The problem for the Never Trumpers on our side is Trump pretty much is everything they believe, but they hate Trump so much they\u2019re mad that Trump believes what they believe. They\u2019re mad because Trump is such a pig, and they\u2019re mad, so they\u2019re willing to abandon what they believe because they think it\u2019s necessary to abandon Trump because he\u2019s such a pig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
