Welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: This is my first time calling. I haven\u2019t really even been that long of a listener because, like I told your screener, I used to be &#8216;an absolute flaming liberal\u2019 as my father-in-law called me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wow.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, welcome home. How did it happen?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, back in December I was &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You were reading a <a xhtml:id=\"\/content\/home\/daily\/site_102210\/content\/01125112\" href=\"\/\/\/home\/daily\/site_102210\/content\/01125112.html\">David Brooks<\/a> column, I\u2019ll bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m sorry, what?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Never mind. What happened in December?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I was working for the Chamber of Commerce in Kankakee, Illinois, that has about a 15% unemployment rate, and I was literally seeing time and time again how these bills and laws that are passed hurt small business and hinder private sector business, and I realized that it\u2019s the private sector business that America thrives on. And so it just kind of brought home to me, &#8216;Wow, health care for everybody&#8230;\u2019 I don\u2019t know. It just came home to me that being a conservative is where I need to be. So my question is, my husband and I are going to have a &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019re married? You\u2019re married?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, good.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: We just got married in July and he has been a lifelong listener of you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you very very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. He absolutely loves Rush Limbaugh. So I should maybe give him a little bit of credit for turning me on to you. We are having election party on November 2nd, but we have some friends that are liberals, and my question is: How do I talk to them logically and tell them, you know, how liberals are ruining America? Because they don\u2019t listen. They don\u2019t listen to me, and I need some points. I need some talking points to tell them how &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What a day this has been.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; liberals are ruining America.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What a day this has been. You\u2019re a former liberal and you\u2019re having an election party, and you\u2019re actually having liberals over.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: To watch the election returns.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And the invitations&#8230; I\u2019m trying to find the quote where you went on for a while about change. &#8216;How do you like that change?\u2019 or how &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How\u2019s that Hope &amp;amp; Change working out for you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; much spending has been done and all that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. How\u2019s that Hope &amp;amp; Change working out for you now?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s my invitation. That\u2019s on the top line of my invitation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And you actually had some liberals accept the invitation?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I think more so for my presence, you know.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, because they\u2019re your friends?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They want to be around you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. And they know that you\u2019ve converted?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They do, and they think I\u2019m now brainwashed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Who brainwashed you, your husband?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They think that my husband and my father-in-law brainwashed me. (giggles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right. Well, let\u2019s look at your premise. You want to know how to talk to them when they come over?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Correct. I want to try, because I saw firsthand how the private sector is basically being so put down by all the laws that are going into effect.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me ask you a question. Seriously, now, let me ask you a question, Casey.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Your conversion was brought about by actually seeing something. Living it, seeing it, you discovered that everything you thought you believed wasn\u2019t true. Now &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. When people tried&#8230; Before this happened to you, before this conversion happened to you, when people tried to tell you &#8212; like your husband or your father-in-law &#8212; that you were wrong, what was your reaction to them?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I didn\u2019t take&#8230; I don\u2019t know if I didn\u2019t listen or I just thought that my way of thinking was better.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, but you thought they were wrong and you wanted them to leave you alone.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And you thought they were trying to brainwash you. Okay, so now you have to put yourself in the minds of your guests. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Because they\u2019re going to think the same thing of you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So what you need to do is structure something at this party that happens. Rather than you sit there and try to tell them, come up with something that happens that convinces them. The election returns will be a great thing for you to bounce off of, \u2019cause the liberals, the Democrats are going to get trounced, and they are in power. And what you have to say is: &#8216;Why is this happening? The Republicans could not stop any of this from happening. The Republicans did not have any votes in the House; they didn\u2019t have any votes in the Senate. The Republicans have nothing to do with why the American people are so mad. Why are the American people mad?\u2019 Make them answer the question. Don\u2019t give them the answer and make \u2019em agree with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Casey in Watseka, Illinois. Welcome to the EIB Network.
