Thank you, sir, for calling. Nice to have you here with us.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thanks, Rush. I\u2019m wondering what you and your establishment friends are going to do now that over one-third of Americans from both political parties believe that the attacks of 9\/11 were an inside job and your propaganda and your gatekeeping is not having the effect that you and your puppet masters thought it would.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125108.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"276\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Well, you know something, Mark, what that tells me is that we\u2019re losing one-third of the country to a bunch of insane lunatics, that 9\/11 was an inside job. I saw an interview, Mark, with Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen got 20 minutes with Barack Obama. I read the transcript. And Charlie Sheen said, &#8216;Hey, the president\u2019s the president, don\u2019t you realize 9\/11 was an inside job?\u2019 And Obama didn\u2019t want to go there. If you can\u2019t get the leader of your kooks to go along with what you kooks believe, then I would say that you\u2019ve got a kook cause, 9\/11 an inside job. I fear for the country because of such insanity and I\u2019ve talked about the fact that we\u2019re two or three countries today. I have no illusion that I have any ability to reach the insane. I have no ability that I have any sway over lunatics. And, frankly, I don\u2019t even try. What I\u2019m trying to do is make sure that the number of lunatics, the numbers of the genuinely politically insane remain as small as one-third so that you will forever remain the stupid idiot minority that you are. <\/p>\n<p>You know, something, folks, if George Bush were president today, let\u2019s see it\u2019s 2007, and it\u2019s the sixth anniversary of 9\/11, and if George Bush were president &#8212; remember, now, the Iraq war still going on, coming up on the surge. And this training exercise had happened &#8212; let\u2019s say everything is the same except Bush is president &#8212; he\u2019s doing a memorial at the Pentagon and the Coast Guard runs this training exercise, do you know what the Drive-Bys would report? That Bush faked and staged and purposely did this exercise to scare everybody to death to realize we have real problems and to get everybody trying to support Iraq. They would say that Bush was behind it. Your lunatic friends, Mark, your kook insaniacs, that would be your take on it. What do we get today? &#8216;Oh, no, oh, no, CNN, oh, no, the infobabe at CNN, &#8216;Obama safe? Is Obama safe?&#8221; (crying) It led them to the most embarrassing hour or two of reporting probably this week for CNN. I mean you have to categorize CNN\u2019s embarrassments by the week, not even by the month or by the year. <\/p>\n<p>Joe in Nanuet, New York, Open Line Friday, you\u2019re next. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You are a juggernaut, an unstoppable 1,000-ton freight train, but sometimes you get off the tracks. My question is this to you. Before I ask my question, I have a request. Can I?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You may have a request, yes, it\u2019s Open Line Friday. We extend all kinds of courtesies, but we\u2019ve got a minute, max, so get to it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I have a meeting coming up with President Obama because my wife is a physician and she has good ideas about health care reform. Is it okay for now to call a truce? Can you meet President Obama if I make that request at the White House?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I\u2019ve already had somebody who knows David Axelrod ask me if I would meet with President Obama, and I said, &#8216;Sure,\u2019 I mean it will never happen, but I\u2019ll be glad to meet with President Obama.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Great. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But Obama\u2019s going to be listening to your wife on health care ideas? Good grief. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, just so you know, the first two callers to this program have lied, totally lied to the call screener today about that which they wish to speak to me. They have lied through their teeth, both of them have, in order to get on this program. And the call screener said, &#8216;Hey, is there a trend out there? Do you want me to &#8211;&#8216; &#8216;Nah, let \u2019em in, let \u2019em in, I can handle \u2019em, I\u2019m the host, they can\u2019t trick me.\u2019 But it just tells me they\u2019re worried out there, folks. So maybe, you know, a mounted campaign here of seminar callers. Just wanted you to know, first two callers lied through their teeth to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We\u2019re going to start on the phones in San Diego with Mark.
