        "content": "RUSH: Greetings, conversationalists across the fruited plain! Welcome to The Rush Limbaugh Show on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network—talent on loan from God, sitting behind the Golden EIB Microphone on Wednesday, 2026-10-28, with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.\n\nFolks, look at the calendar today: 2026-10-28. Let's go back twenty-one years to this exact day—Friday, 2005-10-28. Twenty-one years ago on 2005-10-28, we were right in the middle of The Minuteman Project on the Southern Border & Washington's Refusal to Enforce Immigration Law. Look out your window on American streets today on 2026-10-28: Interior enforcement, local sheriff cooperation, municipal budget strain, and restoring the rule of law at the southern and northern borders.\n\nThink about that! In October of 2005, when Ben Bernanke was nominated to succeed Alan Greenspan at the Federal Reserve, the Washington establishment promised us that central bankers had conquered the business cycle forever. And what did we say right here on this program on 2005-10-28? We said that the moment the Federal Reserve becomes an enabler for runaway congressional spending instead of the guardian of sound money, working Americans are going to pay the tab through hidden inflation! Walk down any street in America today on 2026-10-28—walk into a grocery store, price out home insurance, look at what a young couple pays for a thirty-year mortgage or a pickup truck—and you are living the exact consequence of twenty-one years of easy-money Washington hubris. The principles of economics never change, my friends. You cannot print wealth; you have to produce it!"

On 2005-10-28—twenty-one years ago today—Hurricane Wilma slammed into Southwest Florida at Cape Romano and tore across the state to Palm Beach, right after Katrina and Rita had knocked out Gulf Coast refining. And what did Senate Democrats do that very afternoon in 2005? They went to the microphones demanding \"price gouging\" investigations and windfall-profits taxes on American oil and gas companies!\n\nNow fast-forward twenty-one years to 2026-10-28. Today it isn't just hurricane season; it's an entire regulatory apparatus trying to strangle baseload power plants, refineries, pipelines, and LNG terminals while families look at their monthly electric and heating bills in disbelief. In 2005 I told you that high prices are the market's signal to produce more supply, and that whenever politicians punish domestic energy producers, you get less energy and higher prices on every item moved by a diesel truck. Every trucker, every farmer, every family driving to work on 2026-10-28 knows that affordable, abundant American oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power is the lifeblood of the working class."

I remember listening to you in my cab back in October of 2005 when diesel jumped after Katrina and Wilma, and you explained how the Fed and energy regulations hit the supply chain before they hit the headlines. Out here on the highway today in October 2026, it's the exact same playbook—every time Washington adds another mandate or prints another trillion, freight rates, parts, insurance, and diesel squeeze the independent driver first.\n\nRUSH: You are living proof of it, my friend! Independent truckers are the canary in the coal mine of the American economy. Before the economists at the Fed even revise last quarter's numbers, you see what's moving on the loading docks and what it costs to fill two hundred-gallon saddle tanks. Keep rolling safely out there—we appreciate you!"

Harriet Miers' nomination was unravelling by the hour—she withdrew three days later on October 27, 2005—because grassroots conservatives refused to accept \"trust us\" on the highest court in the land. That principled stand gave the country Justice Samuel Alito.\n\nNow look at today, 2026-10-28, twenty-one years later. Imagine where this country would be right now if conservatives had backed down in October 2005! Every landmark constitutional victory over the past two decades—restoring the Second Amendment, reining in the administrative state, ending racial quotas in college admissions, and defending religious liberty—traces directly back to that October 2005 refusal to compromise on judicial originalism. And today, as activist lower-court judges try to govern the entire country through single-district injunctions, the lesson of October 24, 2005 rings louder than ever: personnel is policy, and constitutional backbone is everything."

On 2005-10-28, Washington was on breathless \"Indictment Watch\" as Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald prepared to wrap up his grand jury in the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation. Remember that? Everybody already knew early on who had talked to Robert Novak, there was no underlying crime, and yet the Drive-By Media—led by the New York Times and Judith Miller—turned a Washington process trap into a two-year soap opera designed to criminalize political differences.\n\nLook at the landscape twenty-one years later on 2026-10-28. What was a prototype under Patrick Fitzgerald in October 2005 became the permanent operating model of the Washington establishment: when you can't beat your political opponents at the ballot box, appoint a prosecutor, leak to the same four newspapers, and run process-crime headlines twenty-four hours a day. The difference between 2005 and 2026 is that the American people have seen the movie too many times—the media monopoly is broken, and nobody outside the Beltway buys the script anymore!"

Back in the fall of 2005, Americans across forty states were rising up against the Supreme Court's Kelo eminent-domain decision and fighting to make the 2003 tax cuts permanent so small businesses could expand. Today in 2026, talk to any restaurant owner, contractor, farmer, or machine-shop operator on your street: their biggest predator isn't their local competitor—it's property tax assessments that have doubled, commercial insurance premiums through the roof, and compliance paperwork written by bureaucrats who have never met a payroll in their lives. When you cut the red tape and let American small businesses keep what they earn, Main Street booms overnight."

When she refused to give up her seat on that Montgomery bus in 1955, she wasn't demanding a government quota or a divisive ideological bureaucracy—she was demanding to be treated as an individual American citizen with equal dignity under the Constitution.\n\nLook at the cultural turnaround happening on American streets today on 2026-10-28.

Welcome to The Rush Limbaugh Show on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network—talent on loan from God, sitting behind the Golden EIB Microphone on Wednesday, 2026-10-28, with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.\n\nFolks, look at the calendar today: 2026-10-28. Let's go back twenty-one years to this exact day—Friday, 2005-10-28. Twenty-one years ago on 2005-10-28, we were right in the middle of The Minuteman Project on the Southern Border & Washington's Refusal to Enforce Immigration Law. Look out your window on American streets today on 2026-10-28: Interior enforcement, local sheriff cooperation, municipal budget strain, and restoring the rule of law at the southern and northern borders.\n\nThink about that! In October of 2005, when Ben Bernanke was nominated to succeed Alan Greenspan at the Federal Reserve, the Washington establishment promised us that central bankers had conquered the business cycle forever. And what did we say right here on this program on 2005-10-28? We said that the moment the Federal Reserve becomes an enabler for runaway congressional spending instead of the guardian of sound money, working Americans are going to pay the tab through hidden inflation! Walk down any street in America today on 2026-10-28—walk into a grocery store, price out home insurance, look at what a young couple pays for a thirty-year mortgage or a pickup truck—and you are living the exact consequence of twenty-one years of easy-money Washington hubris. The principles of economics never change, my friends. You cannot print wealth; you have to produce it!\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 1 · SEGMENT 2 (00:15 – 00:30) — Hour 1 · Block B — Stack of Stuff: Energy, Hurricanes & Pump Prices (2005 vs. 2026)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): Public School Indoctrination vs. School Choice, Vouchers, and Parental Authority (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Universal school choice, parent-led curriculum transparency, trade and vocational resurgence, and getting back to reading, math, and real American history (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Let me grab the next stack right here in Hour One. On 2005-10-28—twenty-one years ago today—Hurricane Wilma slammed into Southwest Florida at Cape Romano and tore across the state to Palm Beach, right after Katrina and Rita had knocked out Gulf Coast refining. And what did Senate Democrats do that very afternoon in 2005? They went to the microphones demanding \"price gouging\" investigations and windfall-profits taxes on American oil and gas companies!\n\nNow fast-forward twenty-one years to 2026-10-28. Today it isn't just hurricane season; it's an entire regulatory apparatus trying to strangle baseload power plants, refineries, pipelines, and LNG terminals while families look at their monthly electric and heating bills in disbelief. In 2005 I told you that high prices are the market's signal to produce more supply, and that whenever politicians punish domestic energy producers, you get less energy and higher prices on every item moved by a diesel truck. Every trucker, every farmer, every family driving to work on 2026-10-28 knows that affordable, abundant American oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power is the lifeblood of the working class.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 1 · SEGMENT 3 (00:30 – 00:45) — Hour 1 · Block C — Open Line Phone Calls (1-800-282-2882)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): The Minuteman Project on the Southern Border & Washington's Refusal to Enforce Immigration Law (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Interior enforcement, local sheriff cooperation, municipal budget strain, and restoring the rule of law at the southern and northern borders (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Let's go to the phones at 1-800-282-2882. Bo Snerdley has Linda from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Line 1—Family diner owner and local school board mother. Welcome to the EIB Network, you're on with Rush!\n\nCALLER (LINDA FROM COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO): Rush, mega dittos from the road! I remember listening to you in my cab back in October of 2005 when diesel jumped after Katrina and Wilma, and you explained how the Fed and energy regulations hit the supply chain before they hit the headlines. Out here on the highway today in October 2026, it's the exact same playbook—every time Washington adds another mandate or prints another trillion, freight rates, parts, insurance, and diesel squeeze the independent driver first.\n\nRUSH: You are living proof of it, my friend! Independent truckers are the canary in the coal mine of the American economy. Before the economists at the Fed even revise last quarter's numbers, you see what's moving on the loading docks and what it costs to fill two hundred-gallon saddle tanks. Keep rolling safely out there—we appreciate you!\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 1 · SEGMENT 4 (00:45 – 01:00) — Hour 1 · Block D — The Supreme Court & Constitutional Originalism (Miers/Alito 2005 vs. 2026)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): Kelo v. City of New London Eminent Domain Outrage & Property Rights Rebellion Across the States (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Homeownership, property taxes, zoning mandates, eminent domain abuse, and defending the family home and family farm from government seizure (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Closing out Hour One, think back to where we were on 2005-10-28 with the United States Supreme Court. Harriet Miers' nomination was unravelling by the hour—she withdrew three days later on October 27, 2005—because grassroots conservatives refused to accept \"trust us\" on the highest court in the land. That principled stand gave the country Justice Samuel Alito.\n\nNow look at today, 2026-10-28, twenty-one years later. Imagine where this country would be right now if conservatives had backed down in October 2005! Every landmark constitutional victory over the past two decades—restoring the Second Amendment, reining in the administrative state, ending racial quotas in college admissions, and defending religious liberty—traces directly back to that October 2005 refusal to compromise on judicial originalism. And today, as activist lower-court judges try to govern the entire country through single-district injunctions, the lesson of October 24, 2005 rings louder than ever: personnel is policy, and constitutional backbone is everything.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 2 · SEGMENT 5 (01:00 – 01:15) — Hour 2 · Block A — Hour Two Monologue: Special Counsel Lawfare & Media Spin (Plamegate 2005 vs. 2026)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): Big Labor, Pension Bailouts, and the Competitiveness of American Manufacturing Towns (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Re-industrializing the Rust Belt and Heartland, blue-collar wages, tariff debates, and keeping factories and machine shops open in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Texas (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Welcome back to Hour Two of The Rush Limbaugh Show! On 2005-10-28, Washington was on breathless \"Indictment Watch\" as Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald prepared to wrap up his grand jury in the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation. Remember that? Everybody already knew early on who had talked to Robert Novak, there was no underlying crime, and yet the Drive-By Media—led by the New York Times and Judith Miller—turned a Washington process trap into a two-year soap opera designed to criminalize political differences.\n\nLook at the landscape twenty-one years later on 2026-10-28. What was a prototype under Patrick Fitzgerald in October 2005 became the permanent operating model of the Washington establishment: when you can't beat your political opponents at the ballot box, appoint a prosecutor, leak to the same four newspapers, and run process-crime headlines twenty-four hours a day. The difference between 2005 and 2026 is that the American people have seen the movie too many times—the media monopoly is broken, and nobody outside the Beltway buys the script anymore!\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 2 · SEGMENT 6 (01:15 – 01:30) — Hour 2 · Block B — Main Street Small Business & Property Rights (2005 vs. 2026)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): 2005 Post-Kelo Property Rights & Small Business Tax/Regulatory Battles\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): 2026 Main Street Small Business Survival, Property Taxes, Insurance & Deregulation\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Let's talk about what is happening on Main Street right now on 2026-10-28 compared to Autumn 2005. Back in the fall of 2005, Americans across forty states were rising up against the Supreme Court's Kelo eminent-domain decision and fighting to make the 2003 tax cuts permanent so small businesses could expand. Today in 2026, talk to any restaurant owner, contractor, farmer, or machine-shop operator on your street: their biggest predator isn't their local competitor—it's property tax assessments that have doubled, commercial insurance premiums through the roof, and compliance paperwork written by bureaucrats who have never met a payroll in their lives. When you cut the red tape and let American small businesses keep what they earn, Main Street booms overnight.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 2 · SEGMENT 7 (01:30 – 01:45) — Hour 2 · Block C — Open Line Phone Calls: Small Business & Heartland\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): Big Labor, Pension Bailouts, and the Competitiveness of American Manufacturing Towns (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Re-industrializing the Rust Belt and Heartland, blue-collar wages, tariff debates, and keeping factories and machine shops open in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Texas (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Back to the phones we go! Sarah from Plano, Texas is on Line 2—Small machine-shop owner employing 28 machinists and welders. Welcome to the program, you're on the EIB Network.\n\nCALLER (SARAH FROM PLANO, TEXAS): Rush, mega dittos! You nailed it comparing October 2005 to today. Back in 2005 my dad was running our shop, and we used to listen to you over the shop radio every afternoon at lunch. He always said your breakdowns of the Fed, tax policy, and media spin taught him more about business than any college class. Today I'm running the same shop with twenty-eight employees, and we're fighting the exact same battle against high interest rates, power bills, and Washington regulations.\n\nRUSH: God bless you and your dad, Sarah! That right there is the heart and soul of this country—multi-generation family businesses keeping skilled trades alive in America. Keep that shop humming!\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 2 · SEGMENT 8 (01:45 – 02:00) — Hour 2 · Block D — The Border & National Sovereignty (2005 Minuteman Era vs. 2026)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): Federal Reserve Chairman Transition (Greenspan to Bernanke) & Federal Spending vs. Tax Cuts (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Paychecks vs. grocery prices, mortgage rates, runaway federal deficits, and why tax cuts and deregulation ignite real Main Street small-business hiring (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Wrapping up Hour Two: in the fall of 2005, citizen volunteers in Arizona and Texas had formed the Minuteman Project because Washington insisted the southern border was \"too big to secure,\" while the Senate was cooking up the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill. On this program in October 2005, we warned that if you reward lawbreaking and refuse to enforce the border, municipal hospitals, schools, and local law enforcement in every state—not just border states—would eventually be overwhelmed.\n\nTwenty-one years later on 2026-10-28, every mayor, county commissioner, and sheriff from Arizona to Ohio knows we were 100% right. Border security is not radical; it is the first constitutional duty of a sovereign republic.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 3 · SEGMENT 9 (02:00 – 02:15) — Hour 3 · Block A — Hour Three Monologue: Rosa Parks, Individual Merit & True Civil Rights (Oct 24, 2005 vs. Oct 24, 2026)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): The Constitutional Showdown Over Supreme Court Originalism (Roberts, Miers, Alito & the Senate \"Nuclear Option\" Filibuster Battle) (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Article III courts, administrative agency overreach after Chevron, nationwide injunctions, and protecting the First and Second Amendments from bureaucratic erosion (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Welcome to Hour Three of The Rush Limbaugh Show on Wednesday, 2026-10-28! Twenty-one years ago on the evening of October 24, 2005, Rosa Parks passed away in Detroit at the age of ninety-two. When she refused to give up her seat on that Montgomery bus in 1955, she wasn't demanding a government quota or a divisive ideological bureaucracy—she was demanding to be treated as an individual American citizen with equal dignity under the Constitution.\n\nLook at the cultural turnaround happening on American streets today on 2026-10-28. Parents, workers, students, and businesses across this country are rejecting the division artists and returning to the classical American promise: equality of opportunity, merit, character, and one standard of justice for every citizen.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 3 · SEGMENT 10 (02:15 – 02:30) — Hour 3 · Block B — Side-by-Side Media Soundbite Dissection (2005 Audio Montage vs. 2026)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): October 2005 Network News Montage (ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT on the Economy, Bush, and the Courts)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): October 2026 Legacy Media Montage vs. Real Street Reality\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Cookie and the broadcast team pulled the media montage from 2005-10-28 alongside this morning's network clips on 2026-10-28. Listen to the words they used in October 2005 whenever conservatives pushed for originalist judges, lower taxes, and domestic energy: \"crisis,\" \"constitutional showdown,\" \"unprecedented.\" Now listen to the exact same networks today in October 2026! They haven't written a new playbook in twenty-one years. The only thing that changed is that back in 2005 they still controlled the gate—and today on 2026-10-28, everyday Americans have the facts in their hands before the evening anchors even sit down at the desk.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 3 · SEGMENT 11 (02:30 – 02:45) — Hour 3 · Block C — Final Open Line Phone Calls (EIB Switchboard)\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): The Constitutional Showdown Over Supreme Court Originalism (Roberts, Miers, Alito & the Senate \"Nuclear Option\" Filibuster Battle) (2005-10-28)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Article III courts, administrative agency overreach after Chevron, nationwide injunctions, and protecting the First and Second Amendments from bureaucratic erosion (2026-10-28)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: Let's squeeze in one more call here in Hour Three—Rebecca from Scottsdale, Arizona on Line 1, High school history and civics teacher of 22 years. Welcome to the program!\n\nCALLER (REBECCA FROM SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA): Rush, mega dittos! Hearing you lay out October 24, 2005 right next to October 24, 2026—from Bernanke at the Fed and Hurricane Wilma gas prices to the Harriet Miers/Alito Supreme Court fight and Rosa Parks—shows why history matters. In our local school board meetings, parents are finally standing up and demanding our kids learn real American history and civics again.\n\nRUSH: And never stop showing up at those meetings, Rebecca! Self-government starts at the kitchen table and the local school board, not in Washington, D.C. Thank you for the call!\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHOUR 3 · SEGMENT 12 (02:45 – 03:00) — Hour 3 · Block D — Closing Monologue: Why America's Best Days Are Still Ahead\n2005 HISTORICAL TOPIC (2005-10-28): Closing Reflections from 2005-10-28 (Friday)\n2026 CURRENT STREET TOPIC (2026-10-28): Closing Reflections for 2026-10-28 (Wednesday)\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRUSH: That wraps up three full hours of broadcast excellence for Wednesday, 2026-10-28, mirrored side-by-side against Friday, 2005-10-28—twenty-one years ago today. Whether it was 2005 or 2026, the formula for American greatness has never been a mystery: individual liberty, limited constitutional government, sound money, secure borders, abundant American energy, and faith in God and the American people. Never let the pessimists convince you this country is finished. Americans are builders, pioneers, and truth-tellers. Be of good cheer, my friends—we will be right back here tomorrow, same time, same station, behind the Golden EIB Microphone!\n",
