Once Paul started up 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: with the songs and everything, it just I think we 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: all know is that Paul's talent was so good that 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: they just said, Okay, we got to hire this guy. Plus, 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: anybody that's listened to Rush for the full Ride remembers 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: the early days, the humor that came from the homeless updates, 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: that came from the feminist updates, the gay community rights update. 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: My favorite was the animal rights update. That was Rush 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: and Mike Mamone creatively together doing something that later would 18 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: just chafe the left, but we had so many laughs 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: from it. Now did Rush always have a wicked sense 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: of humor. Yes, and you can hear that that humor 21 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: inside the remarks that he was making. He was very witty, 22 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: He was very funny. Quite naturally. He would find something 23 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: humorous to say on many levels. I mean things he 24 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: used to say, politics is showbiz for the ugly. He 25 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: talked about he talked about the uglow Americans, which was 26 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: just hysterical, but made a point. It was it was 27 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: he would he would find a way to pierce sometimes 28 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: serious issues with a unique sense of humor. Rush would 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: just let loose and we'd have you know, we could 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: spend two days talking about the Arkansas toesucker and things 31 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: like that. And it was his miracle. He had a 32 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: great sense of humor about everything.

How did this happen? The first 82 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: time I heard it? And it was in the it 83 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: was in the early nineties. I can't remember the year, 84 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: but I know who introduced it because it was the 85 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: local show host at WMC seventy nine in Memphis, where 86 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: I'm from, and Oliver c.

And uh, Interestingly, I always 94 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: thought Rush was a lot older than he was, not 95 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: because of the way he sounded, but he was maturer 96 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: and that was a difference in talk radio. Somebody somebody 97 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: that was I don't know. He just had had a 98 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: sense of having been and had a had had his 99 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: own ideas of way things were okay, so you listened 100 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: and oh yeah, you, like millions of us, got hooked 101 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: to the show.

And I don't know what 172 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: to do. And I just so I just hung up 173 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: the phone. He's a calling back and just do Clinton. 174 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: If you called back in to Clinton, he's got it, 175 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: he's got to listen to you. So I called him back. 176 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: He said, hello, Johnny, this is Bill Clinton. And I 177 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: know you and Rush are really tight, and for some reason, 178 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: he and I have really fallen out over this gaze 179 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: in the military thing. Can you talk to him and 180 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: put us back together as friends? And he said, who 181 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: is this? I said, this is Paul Shanklin from Memphis, Tennessee. 182 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: He goes, that was great. Could you send me a taper? 183 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: Honest truth, that's the honest truth. And I've been pulling 184 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: his leg ever since, and that's how I got started. 185 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: He's he kind of coached me. You know, I didn't 186 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: know a whole lot about radio, and Johnny's been my 187 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: mentor and coach and guide all along, and we've had 188 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: so much fun together, although I have driven him a 189 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: little crazy from time to time. When did you start 190 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: to wing voices? Paul? Wouldn't you realize you had a 191 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: talent for this? Well, the thing was, it was something 192 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: that came natural. My mother's family were marines and postal workers, 193 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: and she was a chemist, so you can tell that 194 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: was not the humorous side. My father was a veterinarian, 195 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: and my father's side of the family they all do that. 196 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they were known far and wide for what 197 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: they call in the country mocking folks. And people didn't 198 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: like people that mocked folks. And when I worked on 199 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: the farm Tommy Swain, we used to say Paul given 200 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: me and hateful because I did his voice, you know, 201 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: and I'm not. I was pretty scrawny so and I 202 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: was the youngest of five kids, so my best defense 203 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: was satire, chance and coders. Unusual circumstances and seemingly unimportant 204 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: events change the course of history every day. Let's find 205 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: out what happened on this day in history. So you're 206 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: having a good time. Oh yeah, you were right about Epstein. 207 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: He puts on a real swanky party. But he sure 208 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: has a lot of kids to send to college. Oh 209 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: they're not his kids. They're masseuses. Who's they're paid to 210 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: give massages for guests? Oh you should get one. Oh no, 211 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I've never will relax here. You don't 212 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: really like it? Do you really think I should? Absolutely? 213 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: It will become a session. And that's what happened on 214 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: this day in history. Soon the biggest tell us since 215 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Steele's dossier is not hitting the shelves.

Find out when it's 219 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: leaked in little bitty bits leading up to the mid 220 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: term elections. Learn how quotation marks and presidential tweets have 221 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: actually possibly been used to obstruct justice. That this isn't 222 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: the only hotel bit in question, and that Republican and 223 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: Russian are both spelled with an r if half the 224 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: bias sources in the outrageous tell all are true, Donald 225 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: Trump will lose House and Senate seats, we hope, unofficially 226 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: leaked by Robert Mueller to the press from now till November, 227 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: which still Mulla get over quoting anonymous sources in Russian 228 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: who sounds suspiciously like the Clintons. Over the course of 229 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: this series, we've been hearing the biographical journey of Russia's life, 230 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: narrated by some of his friends, family, and fellow broadcasters. 231 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: Today author and former radio host and fellow Radio Hall 232 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: of Fame inductee Neil boorts The Life of Russia Limbaugh, 233 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: Chapter seven, narrated by Neil Boortz. When you think about 234 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: what it means to be inducted into the Paul of Fame, 235 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: you might think first of legendary names like Ruth Aaron, 236 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: maybe Montana Marino. Here's a few more for you, Freed 237 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: Harvey Limbaugh. That's right, members of the Radio Hall of Fame. 238 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: In Rush Limbaugh is obviously right there a member, but 239 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: unlike the others who typically have to wait until the 240 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: end of their careers, it was clear early on that 241 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: the Hall needed to make room for Rush. After only 242 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: five years of syndication and overwhelming record breaking success, he 243 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: became part of a prestigious class of inductees in nineteen 244 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: ninety three. For a guy from Cape Girardo, Missouri, fired 245 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: from his first seven radio jobs before finding any sort 246 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: of success behind a microphone, the entire experience was nothing 247 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: short of humbling. So many standards of excellence have been 248 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: set by previous inductees, including tonights, that all I can 249 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: hope to do is try to approximate them as I 250 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: go through my career, and if I am one day 251 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: judged to have done that, then I will consider it 252 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: to have been worth it. In a success, I say 253 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: what I say to the American people, and any chance 254 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: I have a chance to speak to them, I do, 255 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: and I am so grateful and so honored. Regardless what 256 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean to them, I am certain that I will 257 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: never mean as much to them as they mean to me. 258 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: After patiently waiting through a critical introductory speech from Sally 259 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: Jesse Raphael based on their political differences, Rush confidently strolled 260 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: up to the podium and delivered an acceptance speech full 261 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: of class, grace, and gratitude. In the speech, he offered 262 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: his thanks to the American people, family and colleagues, and 263 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: ironically enough, his competition and those who disagreed with him. 264 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: When I came to New York, there was one man. 265 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: I said, here's the standard, that's what I'm up against. 266 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: Here's who I consider my competition to be. If Larry 267 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: King had not shown that syndicated talk programming would work, 268 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have had the chance. I thank Larry King 269 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: as well. I thank all of you. Thank you so 270 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: much for allowing me to run law. No matter if 271 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: you're an athlete, a musician, or a broadcaster. Being inducted 272 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame as usually the crowning achievement 273 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: of a long career finished as you head off in 274 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: the sunset. But for Rush Limbaugh was only the beginning, 275 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: with still more than twenty five years of excellence and 276 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: broadcast team to come.

Paul, I 293 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: want to talk about the one that generated the most 294 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: controversy and it remains one of my favorites. You know 295 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: what that is, don't you? That song? Yes? I that song. 296 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that the song. That song that is Yeah, 297 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: Brock the magic need. That's actually the thing is is 298 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: that you I. I learned a very important lesson with 299 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: that song. What did you learn? Don't quote three Democrats 300 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: in one song. I quoted the guy who wrote the piece, 301 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: Barack Obama, the magic Negro. I quoted Joe Biden, and 302 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: I quoted Al Sharpton, and I got in more trouble 303 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: than I've ever been in. And uh, well since at 304 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: least seventh grade, Barack, the Magic Negro still still remains 305 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: up there. I think it may be my number one 306 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: favorite that you've ever done. And part of it is 307 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: because of the insanity that it created. The left wind 308 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: absolutely bizark. It was. Yeah. It was a song that 309 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: was written from a piece that was written in the 310 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Times and the columnist wrote, mat, yeah, well, 311 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: what kind of flack did you get from it? I 312 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: was on vacation when it really got big. I put 313 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: it on an album and it wound up at at 314 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: a Republican event, and somebody got wound up and given 315 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: out by a friend of mine just giving out my album, 316 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: and of course they looked down at it, and some 317 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: other Republican, no doubt, is the one that turned him 318 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: in because they were all vying for the GOP leadership position, 319 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: party party chairman, and uh, somebody freaked out and you know, 320 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: it's it's it is what it is. And as a 321 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: good bit of quote from everybody that other than me, 322 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: that was involved in it, and how Sharpton felt about it. 323 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: Joe felt him about him being bright and new and 324 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: clean and all of that. And I had somebody say, 325 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: is there anything you if you had to do it 326 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: over again? Is there anything you could do differently about 327 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: the song? I said, yeah, really there is. The base 328 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: is a little tubby range. All right, you do a 329 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: wicked Lewis Farrecan the million Man march, and Lewis Farrecan 330 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: is sort of missed.

Well, 371 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's one thing for us to be, 372 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, in the background, and and you know, we 373 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: had our contributions. People knew we did things, but he 374 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: took all the arrows and that's hard to have personal 375 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: people writing articles. And I got a little of that 376 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: on the Magic Negro and some other stuff that I 377 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: had done, but I didn't get it for decades. And 378 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: to have the thick skin and still hold your values up, 379 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: that was that was amazing. And how he's different to 380 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: me than many other show hosts was that he was interesting. Um, 381 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: you know, we all kind of knew it what the 382 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: news of the day was because we were watching Fox 383 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: or we're listening to something else and before the show 384 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: and we're thinking, what's gonna rush on us about that? 385 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: He might he might talk a about whatever the news 386 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: of the day was for ten minutes. Then he would 387 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: go to what he thought was important. It would be 388 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: something completely different and more interesting and more informative of 389 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: behind the scenes and all that. But he was interesting 390 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: for three hours a day. How to do that? I mean, 391 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: that's it. It seems easy. But you've hosted, You've done 392 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: some things in radio that I haven't done. I've done 393 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: a little bit hosting for local radio here, and it 394 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: wears you out. It's not just you know, you get 395 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: in front of a microphone and talk. Oh gosh, you 396 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: gotta have something to say that people will. You got 397 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: to be interesting for three hours or actually interesting for 398 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: five minutes, because somebody will change a channel. So, I mean, 399 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: he was. He was just amazing like that. And again 400 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: the fact that he would you know, he would praise me, 401 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: but he would let me do you know what, I 402 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, right, uh, And it didn't 403 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: get in the way of that at all. Um At 404 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: one time though, kit Kit said, yeah, is this this girl, 405 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: she's she works to the show, she's got an idea. 406 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna send it to you and you know, just 407 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: do what you do, what you want to with it, 408 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: and and uh and it was actually pretty good and 409 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: I used it and and then uh, uh this time 410 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: I got it. Uh. I got it from Rush and uh. 411 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: He said, you know I want you, I want you 412 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: to do this.

You done, man, That's how we taught, 496 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: That's how we laughed and made the people aware of 497 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: the mockery of the left and what they really were 498 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: and the things they believed in. And we occasionally go 499 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: back to the grooveyard forgotten hits and relive it. Ladies 500 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Now it is getting good. It's getting good 501 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: everywhere out there. I have just about laughed myself into 502 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: paralysis here about ten minutes ago, and sturdily brought me something. 503 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: It's in the New York Daily News today that I 504 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: missed on the lesbian farmers story. I don't know that 505 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to explain this to you 506 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: without cracking up. It's a New York Daily News story. 507 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: Rush Limball warns bomba regime is sending government pay and 508 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: lesbian farmers to invade Red States. What they're trying to 509 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: do is convince lesbians to become farmers. He told listeners. 510 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: There's a specific, sinister motive to the shift, Limbaugh claimed, 511 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: ruining conservative voting blocks. And then I said, I'm like you, 512 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: I never before in my life knew that lesbians wanted 513 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: to be farmers. I suspect what really ticked them off 514 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: was my next line. And like I say, I could 515 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: have thrown in things like about zucchini and carrots and 516 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: any number, but I didn't. I kept it above board. 517 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: The next line was, I never knew that lesbians wanted 518 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: to get behind the horse and the plow and start burrowing. 519 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 1: That's probably what ticked them all. Lesbian wanted to get 520 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: behind the horse. Keeping laughed at my own line when 521 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: I read it.
