RUSH: This is Larry, San Antonio, Texas. Great to have you on the program, Larry. How you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mucho dittos to our paramount communicator.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a two-part question for you. Do you foresee another undeniable truth since Trump\u2019s election? That would be the first part. And in your esteemed wisdom, should there be a Limbaugh Theorem for Mr. Trump as you opined with his predecessor, albeit quite a difference in the two, I\u2019m certain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: We get questions somewhat like this. You think you need to redo the 35 Undeniable Truths of Life<\/a> since those were applicable in the eighties? You think, like in your question, had the Limbaugh Theorem to explain how nothing touched Obama, do we need a Limbaugh Theorem to explain something about Trump? Probably so. You know, I totally understand the question. The explanation is that I don\u2019t brainstorm things. Like, Operation Chaos came to me while I was sitting here behind the microphone doing the program.<\/p>\n

The Undeniable Truths of Life happened when I was writing a newspaper column and had writer\u2019s block. So I just started jotting down one-line thoughts trying to jump-start my brain. And when I got to about 20 of them I said, “You know what? How many of these will I need to get to 750 words and a full column?” So I kept going. The Limbaugh Theorem to explain Obama not being accountable for anything he did also happened while I\u2019m here on the program. It did not happen while I\u2019m at home doing show prep.<\/p>\n

These things happen spontaneously. So, like in the case of 35 undeniable truths, I did try to do an updated version of them about, I don\u2019t know, four years later. And I found that updated versions of preexisting hits never quite make the mark. It\u2019s kind of like my old analogy. If you have a spontaneous party one night, it\u2019s not planned, but, man, is it fun. People show up you\u2019re not expecting. You don\u2019t really invite anybody, just call \u2019em. “Hey, we\u2019re getting together, doing this.” People show up and you have the greatest time for four hours.<\/p>\n

“Man, this is so fun, let\u2019s do it next week,” and you try. And it just isn\u2019t the same. So I don\u2019t push myself in those areas. And this creates long periods of dormancy where some have accused me of having lost my creativity — and I know that\u2019s not what you\u2019re saying. But others have worried, “Rush, are you losing it? It\u2019s been a long time since you updated the 35 –” When they come to me, I do them.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve never sat down and tried to think, “Okay, what do I need?” That\u2019s why I don\u2019t like TV. You can\u2019t do a TV show that way. A TV show has to be planned. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t like doing speeches \u2019cause I don\u2019t prep those, either. I\u2019m on and my mind\u2019s either gonna be working or it isn\u2019t. And the fact that it might not means a lot of pressure before the speech starts. I\u2019m total improv with everything here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
