I just want to say&#8230; I\u2019m kind of going off subject here. But when the Trump tax cuts took place and the fake Indian, Warren, said they were &#8220;crumbs,&#8221; I would like her to know that those crumbs allowed me to get a cell phone for my teenager. Without those crumbs, my teenager wouldn\u2019t have a cell phone right now.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I want to say is I want to thank you. Twenty-three years ago when I registered to vote, I registered as a Democrat &#8212; most of my family was &#8212; and I stumbled on the Rush Limbaugh Show on TV, on cable, and I was hooked. Within a week of watching your show, the next day I went down to my town hall, and I changed from Democrat to Republican, and I have you to thank for that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-234043\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/RUshTVShowDesk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/RUshTVShowDesk.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/RUshTVShowDesk-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>RUSH: Congratulations, sir. I appreciate that that happened.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I can\u2019t thank you enough. You are&#8230; You know there &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That means it would have all started in the Clinton era.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. (chuckling) Exactly, and it\u2019s just the way you exposed them. You know the playbook, and you\u2019re a genius for that. I mean, you know the radical liberal playbook. You have it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I appreciate your saying that. I have studied liberalism my entire life. I\u2019m more honest about what it is and who they are than they are about who they are and what they are. I\u2019m glad you recognized that.
