Sissy in Sunset Hills, Missouri, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush. I\u2019ve been told that I &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know that &#8216;Sissy\u2019 is one of my all-time top ten favorite female names.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) Actually, my name is Hilda. Is that one of your favorites too?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ah, it\u2019s not, but Sissy is. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER: (laughs)<\/line><BR\/><a href=\"http:\/\/bighollywood.breitbart.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"325\" height=\"253\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>RUSH: How do you get Sissy from Hilda? You know, don\u2019t even answer that because our time is short.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay. I just want to mention three things that you said on the program and see if you can connect the dots. The first one was Miller increased its sales by running a one-second ad on TV during the Super Bowl; the second one was articulation of the conservative message is a major problem in our country; and the third one was ignorance is rampant about that subject in our country. And I just keep wondering why it wouldn\u2019t occur to anybody to, you know, put like 30-second spots on TV &#8212; not with you, but anybody, consistently &#8212; letting people who otherwise, you know, who watch American Idol or whatever it is, you know, get to those people and deliver the message that they\u2019re not getting because they don\u2019t listen to talk radio.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, so the basic question is here: &#8216;How do you take people who are exposed to nothing but the leftist culture in the pop culture, how do you bring conservatism to them?\u2019 and you say, &#8216;Why not run some 30-second commercials on American Idol?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Is that what you\u2019re asking?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Run them on prime-time shows so that on a consistent basis they hear the conservative message.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, it is a very valid question, because we have lost the entire pop culture. Watch the Academy Awards last night. You can watch conductors of symphony orchestra performances on PBS rag on George W. Bush. Saturday Night Live. I don\u2019t care where you go. The late-night comedy shows. Everything in the pop culture &#8212; movies, books, TV shows &#8212; accepts liberalism as normal as air and water.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, wouldn\u2019t this idea I have help solve that problem?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t know that your idea per se, 30-second commercials within this culture would do it because there\u2019s already a built-up resentment. Conservatives are already a laughingstock, you know, like the clown prince or dunce, but something needs to be done. I think with the people we\u2019re talking about, actual experience in life does more to change it than anything. It\u2019s like, I keep going back to this, but a good friend of mine. He\u2019s a smart guy with smart kids. He could not convince his college kids that manmade global warming was a hoax. It took this winter for them to start doubting everything Algore and the media were saying. I don\u2019t know about the specifics. It\u2019s something that needs to have attention focused on it because the people you\u2019re talking about, it\u2019s unrealistic to expect them to go into a voting booth every four years and vote conservative, when they\u2019re exposed to all the jokes about conservatism the rest of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Sissy.
