(interruption) I didn\u2019t say I watched it.  I said it was on.  I heard it.  I was at my desk doing show prep, I heard it, and we got a sound bite from Miss Alabama.

What, you like Miss Utah? <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_77589\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MIssUSA2013.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Last night, the 2013 Miss USA competition.  This is Trump\u2019s deal.  Do you know where they\u2019re gonna do Miss Universe?  Trump came out there last night and said they\u2019re gonna do Miss Universe, which he also owns, at some city hall in Russia.  I kid you not.  Kathryn asked, &#8220;Were they serious about that?&#8221; I was listening while I was doing show prep. &#8220;No, no, it\u2019s serious.&#8221;  Miss Alabama, Mary Margaret McCord, is being questioned.  The judge, in this case, the actress Wendie Malick, said to Miss Alabama, Mary Margaret McCord, &#8220;Government tracking of phone records has been in the news lately.  Is this an invasion of privacy, or is it necessary to keep our country safe?  Why or why not?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here is the answer from Mary Margaret McCord&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MCCORD:  I think the society that we live in today, it\u2019s sad that if we go to the movies or to the airport or even to the mall, that we have to worry about our safety. So I would rather someone track my telephone messages and feel safe wherever I go, than feel like they\u2019re encroaching on my privacy.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (wild applause)<\/p>\n<p>MALICK:  Thank you.  Thank you, Alabama.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V8vXrqHurTc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And the audience, which was at the Planet Hollywood arena  &#8212; which is where I judge a Miss America Pageant some years ago. The audience at the Planet Hollywood arena, as you heard there, went nuts cheering their support for the notion that Miss Alabama would rather have &#8220;someone,&#8221; government somewhere, &#8220;track her phone messages&#8221; because that means that she would &#8220;feel safe&#8221; wherever she went rather than feeling as though her privacy was being encroached on. (interruption)  No, not&#8230; You\u2019re using the wrong term. You\u2019re using the wrong term. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=12303\">low-information population<\/a> there, Snerdley. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what that is.  I mean, hello?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, Mary Margaret McCord, Miss Alabama, after I played this sound bite, you shoulda seen on the staff the other side of the glass.  They were shocked.  They couldn\u2019t believe it. Listen to it again.  Mary Margaret McCord from Alabama, government tracking of phone records in the news lately, is this an invasion of privacy or is it necessary to stay safe?  Why or why not? <\/p>\n<p>MCCORD:  I think the society that we live in today, it\u2019s sad that if we go to the movies or to the airport or even to the mall, that we have to worry about our safety. So I would rather someone track my telephone messages and feel safe wherever I go, than feel like they\u2019re encroaching on my privacy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, I imagine a number of you are saying, &#8220;What in the world.&#8221;  Stop and think of something here.  Miss Alabama is in her early twenties, and the odds are that her educational experience has included years and years of how wonderful the government is.  She doesn\u2019t distrust it, particularly with Obama.  Obama loves everybody. Obama is gonna keep people safe. Obama cares.  It makes total sense to me.  And then Snerdley said, &#8220;Do you realize somebody is gonna marry her and they\u2019re gonna have kids and then where are we?&#8221;  I said, &#8220;Well, maybe, but the guy that marries her is not gonna be asking her these kinds of questions, Snerdley, so it doesn\u2019t matter.&#8221;  And whatever questions he asks, whatever she says, he\u2019s gonna agree with anyway.  That\u2019s just the way of the world.<\/p>\n<p>There was another contestant, Miss Utah, whose name is Marissa Powell. And one of the judges was NeNe Leakes, and NeNe Leakes asks Miss Utah, Marissa Powell, this question:  &#8220;A recent report shows that in 40 percent of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men. What does it say about society?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TlgqWeuhJj4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And Marissa Powell said, &#8220;I think we can relate this back to education, and how we are continuing to try to strive . . . to . . .&#8221; and then she paused, and people started getting nervous because she seemed lost.  She seemed to be in the middle of what some people know as a brain freeze.  And finally she got herself back together, and then she continued speaking.  She said, &#8220;We have to strive to figure out how to create jobs right now. That is the biggest problem and I think, especially the men are &#8230; seen as the leaders of this, and so we need to see how to \u00c2\u2026 create education better.  So that we can solve this problem. Thank you.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>And the audience cheered and thought it was a wonderful thing, a beautiful thing \u2019cause we do need to create education better so that we can solve the problem, because, for men, as seen are the leaders of this.  So that the highlights of the Miss USA. <\/p>\n<p>She came in third place.  Do you think it\u2019s \u2019cause of this answer?  I\u2019ve been a judge of these things.  Do you know how much weight this counts for?  It isn\u2019t much.  I forget the exact percentage, the swimsuit, the evening gown, the interview, it\u2019s not that much.<\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Are you gonna get lost in this?  We are looking at her brain here, that\u2019s what we\u2019re examining here, Snerdley.  We are looking at and examining her brain.  I haven\u2019t described &#8212; we are appreciating the brain.  I haven\u2019t described her appearance to you once yet.  I\u2019m doing exactly what we\u2019re supposed to do.  We\u2019re talking about her brain and how she thinks we need to create education better.  Hey, you know what?  You need to lighten up.  She cares.  At least she cares.  Okay.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We have now Marissa Powell, Miss Utah from the Miss USA competition last night.
