RUSH: The babes at The View have just discovered what I said maybe eight years ago about the concept of an aging female president. Remember when at the end of a monologue defending Hillary Clinton…? She was under assault for this. I was defending Hillary Clinton, and I asked the question, “Do the American people want to observe their president obviously aging?”<\/p>\n


\nWell, that little question is all that Maude Behar and the babes — ahem — at The View apparently are aware of what I said. So they think it\u2019s outrageous, it\u2019s horrible, that\u2019s horrible, and so they had a little discussion about it. Yes, they did.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look at this. Cookie<\/a> just found a sound bite of Maude Behar back on December 18th, 2007, agreeing with my statement about Hillary.  I guess Maude has forgotten she once agreed with me because yesterday on The View she raked me over the coals.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me start on the audio sound bites.  If you are on hold on the phone, hang in.  We\u2019re coming right back to you. But I\u2019ve got to do this. I\u2019m trying to figure out what would be the most effective order in playing these. I\u2019ll tell you what. Let\u2019s play sound bite number one, then we\u2019ll go to 26 and maybe hit number two after that.<\/p>\n

But here is this morning on The View, Co-Host Joy Behar talking about perceived — You know, I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s happening here. You know, Trump has begun alluding to how he\u2019s gonna criticize Hillary, so the left is popping up, and they are going to say that criticizing Hillary is not permitted. That will either be sexism or misogyny, just like you couldn\u2019t criticize Obama. The first African-American president, that\u2019s racism to criticize him. Hillary, theoretically, president, first female, any criticism, sexist.<\/p>\n

This is how they\u2019re gonna shut it down. They\u2019re already starting on this. And this was predictable, by the way. And after they do Hillary, they\u2019re gonna try to nominate the first Hispanic, and the same thing, you can\u2019t criticize the president, he\u2019s the first Hispanic, and that\u2019s racism if you do. It\u2019s their modus operandi. So that\u2019s what this is essentially all about, and here\u2019s Joy Behar with her comment on something.<\/p>\n


\nBEHAR: I\u2019ll just read you a couple things I found about Hillary Clinton. This is from Rush Limbaugh<\/a>. He says, “Will Americans want to watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?” That\u2019s Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Okay. That\u2019s this morning on The View. Let\u2019s go back, same program, December 18th, 2007<\/a>, Whoopi Goldberg, Baba Wawa, and Joy Behar.<\/p>\n

GOLDBERG: Rush Limbaugh was on the radio, as he always is, and he was commenting on whether we want to watch a woman aging in the White House. He explained he knew that he was going to get into trouble for the comment, but said, “I\u2019m talking about the evolution of American culture here, not so much Mrs. Clinton.” He also said that presidents age rapidly and added “a woman is not going to want to look like she\u2019s getting older because it will impact poll numbers. In politics, perceptions are reality, so there will have to be steps taken to avoid the appearance of aging.”<\/p>\n

WALTERS: He says that a man looks authoritative and a woman does not. That\u2019s the difference.<\/p>\n

BEHAR: Yes. Except that I think he has a point in that people\u2019s looks impact the election.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, wait a minute! Back in 2007 Joy Behar said, “But wait, I think he has a point in that people\u2019s looks –” And Whoopi tried to put this in context as best as she\u2019s equipped to. She\u2019s right. I wasn\u2019t specifically talking about Hillary. I was talking about American — Hillary was under assault. It was during the campaign, primary campaign, 2007, Operation Chaos had not yet begun. Obama had just been picked to run. Hillary thought it was her nomination, Obama had just shown up, and there were all kinds of Democrat insults at Hillary, and people were floating things and publishing pictures of her getting older.<\/p>\n

I ran in there and in a way started defending Hillary Clinton and turned it into a discussion of, “Gee, how unfair is American culture to aging women.” And they all understood that back in 2007. But Maude, apparently that\u2019s too far ago for her to remember. So now this morning they take one line out of it and they apply a meaning to it that I never said or intended. They just don\u2019t remember. They do not remember back in 2007 agreeing with me about this. But we did. And now you know the answer, too.<\/p>\n

\"large\"
\nThe brain-dead audience watching the show won\u2019t know. They\u2019ll walk out of there, they did walk out of there thinking, “Ew, man, Limbaugh, ew, ew, ew, it\u2019s horrible.” Well, I know see, that\u2019s the thing. I mean, if you want to talk about women aging in public on TV, just look at The View. I mean, it kind of speaks for itself here. But they\u2019ll have fun with this tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see. Audio sound bite number two. Neil Cavuto yesterday on his Coast to Coast show on the Fox Business Network was speaking to Tom Sullivan, who worked with me at KFBK Sacramento. He\u2019s now a talk host of the Fox Radio Network and he\u2019s a business analyst at the Fox Business Network. They were talking about Behar\u2019s comment that she thinks Trump is the most dangerous man alive. So this is Cavuto and Tom Sullivan from yesterday afternoon, the Fox Business Network.<\/p>\n

CAVUTO: She\u2019s talking about Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

SULLIVAN: You know, which is a good point. It usually is a talk show host. Our buddy Rush Limbaugh, for example, has been the most dangerous man in America for a decade or two. So, I mean —<\/p>\n

CAVUTO: So now it\u2019s a leadership swap?<\/p>\n

SULLIVAN: Yes. And it\u2019s certainly no news flash to me. I mean, of course she thinks that anybody who doesn\u2019t agree with her point of view is the most dangerous person. I think it\u2019s interesting to hear other people\u2019s views. I don\u2019t find them dangerous. I find them interesting. But for some reason, Joy Behar and people like her are afraid to hear another view.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. That\u2019s why we have safe zones on campus now where you won\u2019t have to hear anybody that disagrees with anything you believe. That\u2019s where the left is, that\u2019s where they\u2019ve been going for a while and where they are. There\u2019s no free speech. There is what they think and what they say, and that\u2019s it. And if you don\u2019t say and think what they do, they will find a way to shut you up. So Trump\u2019s the most dangerous man in America now where I used to be. I\u2019ll get it back, folks. Don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Koko, I tell you what I want you to do. I want you to go back and grab the transcripts from the website on December 17, 2007. Rather than read to you what I said then, just go read it when you have a chance. We\u2019ll link it on the free side. I was bouncing off an unflattering picture of Hillary that was on the Drudge Report, and I launched. It was headlined, “The Toll of a Campaign,” and I launched into my analysis of it as far as, you know, what it means about American culture, where we\u2019re headed in that regard.<\/p>\n


\nShe was running for president then, the possibility of a female president, what\u2019s it gonna mean? Meaning how people are devoted to the looks of other people on TV and how they form opinions. It was not an attack on Mrs. Clinton in any way, shape, manner, or form. It was actually a defense of her. Well, you read it and you\u2019ll see. You\u2019re smart enough to read between the lines and figure out what\u2019s been going on here.<\/p>\n

‘Cause I want to move on here. But if Koko will link that; you\u2019ll see exactly what it was all about. ‘Cause I guarantee you that\u2019s now been resurfaced by the left to dump me into this mix, War on Women, attacking somebody\u2019s looks and so forth, when these people forget what they said about Margaret Thatcher, for example. I mean, these people on the left make fun of the way people look all the time. It\u2019s always a two-way street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
