RUSH: Ben Stein has a new movie out. He brought it by my house Friday afternoon to screen it for me. It's called Expelled. It is powerful. It is fabulous. And here's the premise of his movie. The premise is that Darwinism has taken root, taken hold at every major intellectual institution around the world in Western Society, from Great Britain to the United States, you name it. Darwinism, of course, does not permit for the existence of a supreme being, a higher power, or a God. His interviews...

RUSH: Jean in Tehachapi, California, I'm glad that you waited. You're next on the program. How are you?CALLER: Well, Rush, I hope... I'm really nervous because I never made a call before, but I was so mad when I heard that speech this morning, that I know my blood pressure is about to go through the roof, because I know what prejudice is. I'm American Indian. My grandfather was a Cherokee Indy -- Indian, and my grandmother was white. I never knew them.RUSH: Your grandmother was white?CALLER:...

RUSH: Charlotte, North Carolina. Joe, I'm glad you waited, as we go back to the phones. You're next here on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Rush, you just don't know how great it is to talk to you after all these years of listening to you. How you doing today, sir?RUSH: Fine, sir. Thanks very much for that.CALLER: Hey, bear with me as I try to go from the beginning to the end of this, because I think I listened to every word of the speech today, and I think the bottom line of what Obama did...

RUSH: On the Today Show today, they had a report, a little piece on how I forced the Obama speech. I actually don't think that I did, but they do, so it's okay. In their report here they try to demonstrate how my criticism has removed his rock star status. Of course, not McCain's criticism or any elected Republican. It's I, according to the Today Show, who caused this. You will hear Senator Obama in this piece, you will hear Pastor Wright, you will hear white comedian Paul Shanklin as Barack...

RUSH: I asked a question earlier of those who were to be calling, and none of you have deigned to answer it. It might be my fault. I haven't asked you once I've had you on the phone. The question was this: "Obama's speech today: Does it help him secure the Democrat Party nomination -- which he clearly leads -- or does it hurt?" Now, there are two ways to look at this. One of the ways that it might hurt is that he walked into the trap today that the Clintons had been laying for him since South...

RUSH: We have a couple more bites. This is Obama. He's trying to say that unless the Rev. controversy goes away, we won't be making any progress.OBAMA: We have a choice in this country. We can play Reverend Wright sermons on every channel, every day, and talk about them from now until the election and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people --RUSH: Stop the tape.OBAMA: -- think that I somehow --RUSH: Stop the tape! Yeah, we can do that. We could get rid...

RUSH: Myron in Detroit. Myron, I'm glad you called, sir. Great to have you here.CALLER: Yeah, how you doing there, Rush?RUSH: Fine, sir.CALLER: Yeah. I hate to go against you, but I think you're all wrong about the Barack Obama pastor. And what I'm saying is, because I've been in the church for twenty-some years, and you don't take one thing out of a church sermon and say that's what it's all about. You don't do that in church. You gotta play the thing totally out so you can get all the...

RUSH: In one of our sound bites in the last hour from Obama's speech, Obama was talking about his preacher, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, having a profoundly distorted view of this country. Yet he hung in there with it, and I don't know if he even tried to change Reverend Wright's distorted view of the country. Also, here you had Obama saying that he cannot disown Wright any more than he can disown his race or disown his grandmother. In that little passage he said that... In fact, let me find...

RUSH: Billy in Fort Worth, Texas. Greetings, sir. Thank you again for waiting.CALLER: Hello, Mr. Limbaugh. How you doing?RUSH: Just fine, sir.CALLER: I'm doing just fine. I hear you -- you know, you talk about -- okay, I'm going to let you know, I'm a Democrat. I'm a liberal. I believe in God. I believe in Jesus Christ and I am an American, okay? And you know -- and, hey look, I don't think you realize what you're saying, okay? You want the best for America, right?RUSH: I do.CALLER:...

RUSH: In Florida, they said they're not going to redo the vote. Michigan says today they're probably not going to redo theirs. Then you got this Obama speech today, and this speech was typical Obama, in many ways. The reaction to it was, wow, how well he spoke. So Hillary is sitting in her hotel room or wherever she was watching this thing, and she's saying, "Oh, I'm melting! I'm melting!" The house is just about to fall on her here. I'm sure that's what she thinks. But here's the question....

He was right when...

He is the product of it.""Barack Obama blamed Jeremiah Wright's hatred on his generation, but there were a lot of blacks who grew up in the '50s and '60s who did not become Jeremiah Wright. Just because you grew up then does not entitle you to hate the country and build a ministry around it.""America has transcended race; there is so much evidence of that that I don't even want...
