This is Mick. Mick, it\u2019s great to have you here, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m well. Thank you for asking. And how are you, sir?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Very well. Glad to have you with us today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-260183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushFlag650K.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushFlag650K.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushFlag650K-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: Well, thank you for taking my call. It\u2019s a quick question. During the second presidential campaign for President Obama, you had mentioned that you weren\u2019t sure if we could take another eight years, that the first four years were brutal and the second four years, you had serious doubts. And he ended up winning and the country went the way that you predicted it would go, and I\u2019m just wondering now, has the pendulum swung too far? The voice of political correctness and snowflaking and all this, or do you think we can come back to a more friendlier place?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I got confused in your Obama timeline. Did I say a second term of Obama we couldn\u2019t recover from? Is that what you remember me saying?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir. That is correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think I said four years or even especially eight years of Hillary would take us there. I know that after the second term of Obama I was still planning on staying here, and that was because it wasn\u2019t over. Now, to get to the thrust of your question, all that\u2019s really happened here &#8212; it\u2019s not all; that\u2019s the wrong way to say it \u2019cause we\u2019ve won one election.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-257081 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/HillaryTrump-B2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/HillaryTrump-B2.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/HillaryTrump-B2-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>But I stand by what I said last week. We remain a great nation at risk in a dangerous world because there\u2019s still a lot of swamp draining that has to happen, and we have to fix this immigration problem or we\u2019re simply gonna lose the kind of country we were founded to be, regardless of what else happens. Now I\u2019m up against it on time. I will continue this. I\u2019m not skating on this. I never skate on anything.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. I\u2019ll briefly answer the guy\u2019s question when we get back. Just the short version: We are in much, much better shape. I mean, it\u2019s not even close than if Hillary had won. We have a fighting chance now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We remain a great nation at risk in a dangerous world because there&#039;s still a lot of swamp draining that has to happen, and we have to fix this immigration problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":260224,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
