<\/p>\nRUSH: Mark in Nashville, you\u2019re next.\u00a0 It is great to have you.\u00a0 Hi.\u00a0 How are you?<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 I\u2019m great.\u00a0 Lifetime listener, second-time caller.\u00a0 It\u2019s an honor to speak with you, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Well, thank you very much!\u00a0 It\u2019s a pleasure to have you back!<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Well, I didn\u2019t get on the first time; that\u2019s why I gotta give props to your screener today.\u00a0 Real good listener.\u00a0 But, anyway, I tried calling a couple years ago on this topic. You go back to 2016… Well, first of all, you had a caller earlier, a Catholic, bemoaning her liberal leader and climate change and —<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Well, no, no.\u00a0 She was… No, no.\u00a0 No, no.\u00a0 She was from Texas and she was bemoaning fellow Catholics and conservatives who were buying into this stuff, not just liberals.<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m a lifelong Catholic as well, born in Chicago, raised in Ohio. But luckily, I\u2019m in Tennessee now.\u00a0 But still —<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Wait a minute.\u00a0 You were born in Chicago?<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 When?<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 1968.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Ah, that explains it.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Okay.<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 All right.\u00a0 So back in 2016… I mean, the Catholic Church has been in the news for all the wrong reasons since, what, 2000?<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Ever since Il Papa Francesca, whatever, yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m talking before that even with the issues in Boston and Newark and all the Northeast.\u00a0 But for all my life, the Catholics I\u2019ve known lean Democrat and lean liberal, and that just seemed to be the way it was.\u00a0 It actually was that way, but I was surprised as I grew older to find it being so prevalent.\u00a0 In 2016, though, the National Catholic Register — which can be a liberal rag. But as you\u2019ve got these top church officials falling away — and they\u2019re all liberals that are going down — you have some conservatives or at least fair-minded writers that for the first time in my life, in 2016, did a long deep dive into each candidate on abortion and said, “You could not vote for XYZ in good conscience as a Catholic.”\u00a0 I\u2019ve just never seen them do that on anything more than your, you know, private breakfasts or —<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 So what are we driving at here?\u00a0 What is your point?<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 For the last… For as long as they\u2019ve kept records, the Rust Belt has gone Catholics to Democrats.\u00a0 Catholics have put Democrats in office throughout the area.\u00a0 But in 2016 — and I believe this came from the LA Times, and I followed them only because they had it right —<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 What…? Just… What is the point?<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 The point is, the Catholics in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, instead of going 70-30 for Democrats, they went 65-35 for Trump, even though they are Democrats.\u00a0 And with this latest push to legalize the murder of babies that somehow surviving abortion, the stance will be even stronger —<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Oh, I agree with that.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Now we… This is why host patience is paramount.\u00a0 This is why.\u00a0 ‘Cause you\u2019ll always get there if you just wait. Not only do I think you\u2019re right, I think it is having an impact that is not being reported on because the media\u2019s not touching it. (Southern impression) “But old Ralph Northam and that blackface story? That is the secondary to what really upset people about Ralph Northam — and then those clowns in New York and in Chicago doing the same damn thing, killing babies after they come out of the womb!”<\/p>\n
I\u2019m telling you, folks, the American people — people you\u2019ve never heard of and you don\u2019t know — are noticing this, whether they\u2019re Catholic or not.\u00a0 I really do believe that the more Democrats speak up, these candidates particularly — and more of this apocalyptic, “We\u2019re 12 years or we\u2019re done, 12 years or we\u2019re extinct,” you can just… I can see. I can literally see the number of people making up their minds to vote for Trump who want to do it right now, who don\u2019t want to wait \u2019til 2020!<\/p>\n
You know, whether it\u2019s rooted in Catholicism or not, I don\u2019t think they are aware of the impact they\u2019re having.\u00a0 You know why?\u00a0 Because they don\u2019t care.\u00a0 The Democrat Party and the Washington establishment still, to this day, do not care about the people who voted for Trump.\u00a0 They\u2019re still condescending to them and toward them, and they\u2019re considering to laugh at them and consider them irrelevant and that 2016 was a one-off and it isn\u2019t gonna happen again.<\/p>\n
And they\u2019re not making any effort whatsoever to understand — even now — why Trump got elected.\u00a0 They\u2019re lying to themselves about why, concocting stories.\u00a0 Some of them believe Russian interference.\u00a0 Some of believe Hillary was a rotten candidate (which is true), but they still think it was a one-off, and they think the opposite. They think that more people are repulsed by Trump each and every day, and that\u2019s why so many Democrats are running, because they think they\u2019ve already go on this in the bag.<\/p>\n
Now, some Democrats I\u2019m convinced already think Trump\u2019s gonna get reelected, the smart ones, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re taking steps to get the impeachment process laid out and set up for after 2020. But it is clear as bell to me the Democrats — you know, let me use this analogy. Sports mascots. My all-time favorite sports mascot was the San Diego Chicken, Ted Giannoulas. He started out as the San Diego Chicken and he would show up at San Diego Chargers games and so forth.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-FB-121217-SD-Chicken.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
He eventually became the Famous Chicken and would hire out and go anywherre. And then the Philly Phanatic was awesome, Fredbird in St. Louis. But all the successful mascots had one characteristic that I think — this is just me. You may think this is crazy and irrelevant. But I think in order for somebody running around wearing a chicken suit or a Phanatic suit or a Fredbird, for those people to connect to the audience, it\u2019s more than just doing funny things.<\/p>\n
They have to have a sense of how they appear to people. They have to have an empathy, they have to have an awareness of how they look, even though they can\u2019t be seen. They\u2019re excused. They\u2019re wearing the mascot.<\/p>\n
But Giannoulas, who I got to know when I worked at the Royals, he knew exactly that his chicken head had those drooping, sad eyes, and they were crucial to his routine. The chicken was akin almost to the coyote in Road Runner and Coyote. The Philly Phanatic had an entirely different personality. But each one these people had to have an ability to know how they appeared, both physically as they went through their routines, and just walking around.<\/p>\n
And I think everybody successful in business has to have that ability. How do people see you? And I don\u2019t mean in just an image sense with a PR manufactured campaign, but how do people see you, the way you dress, the way you carry yourself, do you smile or not, those kinds of things. I don\u2019t think the Democrats have the slightest ability right now to understand how people see \u2019em. And I think Donald Trump does. I think Trump knows exactly how he is seen and feeds it.<\/p>\n
But these clowns on the Democrat side haven\u2019t the slightest idea how they\u2019re seen, because they are so arrogant and they\u2019re so, in their own minds, elevated and above everybody. They think they\u2019re smarter than everybody, and they act it. They think that they are more refined and more sophisticated than everybody, and they act it, and they don\u2019t realize how off-putting they are.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And, as such, I don\u2019t think they realize when they announce this stupid stuff like 12 years and we\u2019re all dead, get rid of airplanes. Take the specifics away, just the overall generic, don\u2019t even have to get in the weeds in this stuff, just the generics of what they\u2019re saying is not what people want to think their country is, and they don\u2019t want to have to live the next 12 years of their lives being taxed out of prosperity in order to save themselves when they don\u2019t even think they\u2019re imperiled.<\/p>\n
And yet there the Democrats are demanding even more from everybody else. Now we learn they\u2019re rigging admissions into major universities in their own favor using their own white privilege. You know, we always say hypocrisy never sticks to \u2019em, never attaches to \u2019em. It doesn\u2019t in terms of media. Media never hones in on their hypocrisy, but I think it\u2019s starting to be noticed big time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
