This is Eric, as we bust up the programming format by taking a call in the monologue segment. Hey, Eric. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Rush, I\u2019ll be real quick. I grew up a Democrat. I remembered my dad making us watch Huntley\u2013Brinkley on NBC, the nightly news. And I voted for every Democrat. I voted for Hillary. I voted for every Democrat since. But I\u2019ve been thinking, you know, some of the things Trump says I\u2019ve always believed in. My dad did, too, and I\u2019m starting to think, I\u2019m holding on by a thread &#8212; until I heard Schiff, and I do know he\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean holding on by a thread? Holding onto what by a thread?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Being a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, being a Democrat. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mmm-hmm. I\u2019m so holding on. I told you I voted for Hillary &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; but what I\u2019ve seen that Trump\u2019s doing. As I said before, I\u2019ve always thought about America the way he does.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And the Democrats don\u2019t. And what really turned me off &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334141\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012220-Trump-Inaugriation-BW-C.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012220-Trump-Inaugriation-BW-C.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012220-Trump-Inaugriation-BW-C-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Don\u2019t lose your train of thought, but that\u2019s it, in a nutshell. You\u2019ve always thought about America the way Trump does. Make America Great Again, America first, America\u2019s good guys. Then you said the Democrats don\u2019t. Bingo. Okay, continue. I didn\u2019t want that to go by uncommented upon. Go ahead. Resume your brilliant thought out there, Eric.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckling) Okay. Anyway, I was watching. I watched all of Schiff, I\u2019m saying, the House committee on impeachment. And I\u2019m watching it, I\u2019m saying, &#8220;Wow.&#8221; Yyou know, I\u2019m watching NBC, of course. All of a sudden, I go, &#8220;Okay, I\u2019m gonna hear from the Republicans,&#8221; and I Pam was gonna speak. Bondi, I knew she was gonna speak. I always liked her down in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And it wasn\u2019t on. They didn\u2019t cover it! So I switched to Fox, and I saw it. Now, that has totally done it. That\u2019s it. I\u2019m done. I\u2019m done with NBC, watching any of their news shows. To do that &#8212; and I\u2019m a lifelong Democrat &#8212; give me a break. I\u2019m some cattle heard it into a pen that I\u2019m just gonna vote Democrat every time. That\u2019s what they think. Well, I\u2019m done.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So you\u2019ve had it, you\u2019ve had it with the Democrats. Now, the thread is gone, along with &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yep.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; the thrill, and so you\u2019re finished with NBC as well?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yep. Won\u2019t watch the show. I grew up with it! I watched it all my life. I was programmed to.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I understand. I understand. Welcome home.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Rush &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-Pam-Bondi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-Pam-Bondi.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-Pam-Bondi-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: You watched this stuff with Bondi yesterday. We\u2019ve got this coming up. We\u2019ve got three or four sound bites with <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/01\/28\/were-living-in-a-democrat-media-generated-fantasyland\/\">Pam Bondi and Dershowitz<\/a>. He\u2019s right. By the way, Eric, it wasn\u2019t just ABC. ABC and CBS pulled away from coverage. They covered everything syllable and every lie from Adam Schiff and the House managers. If you watch CBS, NBC, CBS, CNN, you didn\u2019t see Pam Bondi yesterday. But you\u2019re gonna hear parts of her presentation on the program today.<\/p>\n<p>Glad you called. I appreciate it. See? This is happening out there to more people than you can possibly imagine. The thing about Donald Trump is Donald Trump &#8212; for much of his life in New York &#8212; was a Democrat. It was the path of least resistance. At one point in his life Donald Trump was&#8230; He was not an activist pro-choice, but when the subject came up, &#8220;I support a woman\u2019s right to choose.&#8221; It\u2019s a path of least resistance. Now look at him: First president to ever attend in person a pro-life rally, the pro-life rally of all of them.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump\u2019s real. He has had a transformation. He\u2019s undergone a transformation based on real-life things that have happened to him. I\u2019ve been telling him for years things he now believes because he\u2019s experienced it. He\u2019s always been his own man. He asked people what they think, but only to find out what think, not because he wasn\u2019t sure what he thought. I\u2019ll never forget when I left New York; he said, &#8220;Why\u2019d you leave?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;This is ridiculous. The taxes,&#8221; and I gave him the amount of money every year I was not gonna have to pay.&#8221; He said, &#8220;Oh, you know, I\u2019m hearing a lot of people thinking they\u2019re gonna leave.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Well, they will at some point if this doesn\u2019t change. What about you? How long you gonna put up with?&#8221; &#8220;I\u2019m a New Yorker. I can\u2019t go anywhere.&#8221; Now he\u2019s left. Now he\u2019s changed his residence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: He&#039;s undergone a transformation based on real-life things that have happened to him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":334141,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
