I think the best argument was, the simplest argument, that the aid went through and there s no more investigations. it falls apart with one more piece of information. they re not going to get that from fax fox news, or rush limbau limbaugh. i want to make the point that there s a lot of voters that don t necessarily live in swing states. you re always sticking up for the coasts. not the coast, necessarily. the states that are solidly blue and red in the middle of the country, as well. the facts that are being learned here, looking at the prism of the electoral college, might give you a different view. it s interesting to hear from the voters. but we heard from a voter that is a republican party chair than
The stops at this point, all of sort of the greatest hits from donald trump in 2016. and sort of the heros of the chattering class on the conservative side. fox news, hannity, and rush limbaugh, so we ll see. he, obviously, if he wins this way, in a state like missouri, in a state like florida, in a state like georgia, in any of these states, with this kind of rhetoric, i mean, it will very much, i mean it will dictate what we see going forward in 2020. what s interesting about rush and sean hannity is this, though. the white house announced these special guests. and i think it is fair to say we will see rush up on stage. but fox and sean hannity, make no mistake, we know that sean hannity is a huge supporter of the president. came back out, and they were clearly surprised by the white house. sean is going out there to interview the president, not to campaign. but sean hannity, rush, these
A suburban, well-off district, it s booming in this economy, it shouldn t even be on the map. democrats are going to win that district in a landslide. what s happening here? i think a lot of it is the trump. a lot of it is the democrats are running smart races on health cares. but there s a lot of suburbanites who should have a belly full of president trump. so have some more rallies, mr. president. do more on wednesday, thursday. well, at his final rally later tonight in missouri, he s got special guests, according to the white house, including rush limbau limbaugh, who is from there originally. but i m wondering in that holly/mccaskill race, do you think republicans, this is like their full-court press, they sort of sense there could be an opening for them and that s why they re hitting missouri in the final you re nodding? i think that s right. it s a close, close state. it s a red state. mccaskill has been able to pull it out in these past races, because she s had terrible opponents, essentially. but they are pulling out all of
Are stars of the base and the white house wanted those names i m not sure what the difference is between a sean hannity interview and a sean hannity campaign appearance. they re pretty much the same thing. zb but so what? he s not hiding the ball. and the deputy chief of the white house is bill stine who was running fox news five minutes ago. rush lived in cape girardeau about # the200 pounds there, bu that s fine, if he wants to go out and bloviate there, that s fine. god bless him. paul. paul somehow thinks this is a win. because he s driving he s doubling down on his base, and that s good. jamie s right, it will help a lot in places like missouri, north dakota. but it s not going to help in a lot of places like florida that are more diverse.
Reality will reassert itself. the analogy that i use is that i can say all i want that gravity has been cancelled, gravity is fake news but if i walk off a high ledge, gravity is going to prove itself very clearly. the question is as americans are we willing and ready to walk off that high ledge. absolutely. you as myself, somebody who is associated with florida are familiar of course with trump s fellow palm beach resident rush limbau limbaugh. trump is now returning the love to him on friday tweeting. one of the effective press news conferences i ve ever seen. essentially trying to take people like rush limbaugh and put them on the same par as something like cnn or msnbc as a
Republican leadership. folks on the hill and high republican office-holders, high leaders on capitol hill are to this day afraid to compromise, to take any kind of position that rush limbaugh would like, for fear of what he would say about them on his radio show. so he is extremely powerful. how do women take action against stuff like this? you know, one of the things the national organization for women has done is to call advertisers. in fact, we have had various chapters of n.o.w. around the country, sometimes holding their nose and listening to the rush limbaugh show, just to find out who advertises on those shows. and then calling the advertisers and saying, look, you re losing women listeners. women are not going to listen to this kind of garbage. rush limbaugh is a massage inconsistent, and as long as you support him, i m not buying your products. so that has actually had an impact. holland cook, there is this thing we have, and we have had in the industry a long time called the demo tape.
There was already a ratings erosion problem at the station in l.a., kfi, a great big station that matters a lot to the financially fragile company that owns it, and rush limbaugh. his problem is demographic, as well. because the millenel ials will will spend 1.2, t, trillion dollars, do not want to hear this crazy uncle stuff day after day. all this has left the building demographically. is it impossible, terri o neill, for the republicans to recovery if they continue to embrace limbaugh with women in the demographic? sure. absolutely. the republicans have a policy problem with women. they don t so much have an image problem. they have an image problem, but driven by the policies the republicans embrace. and as long as they are afraid to be anything but radically right wing, because rush limbaugh will punish them if they re anything but radically
Objectivification of women. last year, he called george lawson and sandra fluke a prostitute when she spoke up for affordable contraceptive coverage. the nrc can talk about how to speak all they want but it doesn t matter as long as the right wing noise machine is spouting this hate. limbaugh serves as a constant reminder of the problem republicans have with women. as more people pay attention, it s damaged his reputation and career. you could make that argument. he s toxic to advertisers, and he s taken down talk radio with him. limbaugh is set to be demoted from major a.m. radio stations in los angeles and san francisco, beginning on january 2nd. in this both cities, limbaugh will broad oh cast on smaller, clear channel owned stations, which will be rebranded with all conservative lineups. take a look at the before and after coverage area for the city of los angeles. it s definitely progress incur tailing limbaugh s influence if
Otherwise look at or otherwise admire or otherwise dream about or otherwise fantasize about or otherwise look at and laugh, whatever, women. but there s a way around this, guys. you ve got to have fun with this kind of stuff, as you know. so let me offer first suggestion. the first way to deal with this. that came into my mind. you find yourself staring, looking at, casually glancing at a woman. but you know that it s now socially taboo. you shouldn t be doing it. and you think everybody is noticing you doing it and condemning you. you walk up to the woman and say would you please ask your breasts to stop staring at my eyes? try that. welcome back to the ed show. rush limbaugh has spent decades spewing this sexist garbage. monday, he was making light of sexual harassment and the
You want to be political about it. and, again, the before and after coverage area in san francisco. bottom line, fewer people are going to be able to hear the signal in those markets. but here s a serious catch. the move and conservative rebranding of those stations could be a huge blow for progressive talkers in those cities. joining me now, our rapid response panel, holland cook, and terry o neill, president of the national organization of women. great to have both of you with us tonight. terri, you first. what s your response to limbaugh s latest comments? why does what does it say about the broader issue of republicans and the problem they have with women? it s a classic example of the ongoing problem that the republican party has with women. and let s remember that the republican party is deeply interconnected with rush limbau limbaugh. in fact, rush limbaugh is one of the biggest influencers in
