Why, it\u2019s great to have you with us on the program today. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Mega dittos to you and Miss Kathryn. You sound great.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You\u2019re welcome. I just wanted to let you know, I am an immigrant. I came here in 1996 legally. Yesterday was my 11th-year anniversary that I became a U.S. citizen &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Congratulations to you!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-356634\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071620-Omar.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071620-Omar.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071620-Omar-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APP-071620-Omar-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, thank you. Thank you. I just cannot believe that all the other millions of legal immigrants who have come here over the years, who have been through the process like I have, would even consider open borders. It just can\u2019t happen. I just cannot see that. What we had to go through, what we sacrificed to become, you know, a proud citizen of this great nation, to throw all that in the wind is not &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look. I hear you. It\u2019s not just immigration. I can\u2019t believe what so many Democrats put up with, either. It\u2019s not just immigration. There\u2019s all kinds of things that they tolerate. Defunding the police and all this crazy &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; stuff that there doesn\u2019t seem to be any pushback against even on the left. So I know exactly the experience that you\u2019re having.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you. Can I ask you one quick question?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Of course you can.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay. So Ilhan Omar is a legal immigrant. What happens if she would become Speaker of the House? She\u2019s not eligible to run for president. But in the future if she would be the Speaker of the House and, Lord forbid, both Biden &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I can\u2019t go there. I can\u2019t even imagine that. If Ilhan Omar is the Speaker and then somehow she would be the third in line to the presidency &#8212; yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I actually don\u2019t know the answer to that. My guess is that Black Lives Matter would come along and shoot anybody who said she can\u2019t do it. Because if she\u2019s Speaker of the House do you realize we\u2019ve lost the country? If she\u2019s Speaker of the House, she\u2019s just a hop, skip, and jump away from being president if she wants to be.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I\u2019m exaggerating somewhat. I actually don\u2019t know the answer to the question. But I\u2019ll get an answer for you hopefully before the program ends, Rebecca. Thanks very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I can&#039;t go there.
