Time Text
And greetings to you, thrill seekers, music lovers, conversationalists.
And uh down in the dumpers, uh, all across the fruited playing Rush Limbaugh on Friday.
Let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
All right, here's the phone number.
It's 800-282-2882.
And the email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
Open line Friday.
We go to the phones of show is all yours.
Pretty much bring up what you want.
A rare treat.
I guess such is not the case Monday through Thursday.
All right, cut the music.
I have I have a couple questions.
I thought you people were mind-numbed robots.
And I thought that you people did nothing but respond to the marching orders that you received on this program.
As you know, that has been one of the frequent criticisms of this program for eighteen years that you people are mindless, brainless, just a bunch of robots waiting for your marching orders for me.
If that's the case, why aren't you listening?
What is it you're not getting about the marching orders?
How is it that you are no longer mind-numbed robots?
Let me ask you this, and I'm serious.
I want to specifically talk to those of you who uh are the cut and run conservatives.
And I, by the way, let me add something about that right now.
I don't believe it's a large number.
I don't believe it's anywhere near the saws that it is being portrayed in the drive-by media.
Just a second.
I gotta grab something and printer back here.
But there are some of you, because you call here and you send me emails.
Some of you are quite angry.
And uh you let it be known, you're not voting.
Many of you, by the way, such as our caller today from where was he calling from Orlando?
Yeah, uh I heard a lot of feelings.
I heard a lot of uh from from um what was his name again?
Steve.
Stephen Orlando.
He was telling me how he felt, but he wasn't telling me what he thought.
And that's what liberals do.
You know, liberals feel their way through politics.
But we, the superior species, we think our way through it.
So I want to ask you a very simple think piece question.
Those of you who are in the cut and run crowd, cut and run conservatives.
I have been your host behind the golden EIB microphone for 18 years.
We've been through several episodes like this.
We've been through the Buchanan episode with the Buchanan Brigades, we've been through the uh Perot debacle in 1992.
And in each case, when it was all said and done, I was proven right.
And many of you wrote and called and apologized, and said that you admitted after the fact that I was right.
So the simple question is, for those of you in the cut and run conservative crowd, why is it that I am not among you?
Do you think?
I'm serious.
I would like to hear from some of you.
I know it's open line Friday, and I don't often make specific requests like this, but I would like to hear from some of you who are regular listeners to this program, longtime devotees.
I would like to know why you think I am not with you in the cut and run crowd.
Uh why is it that we look out the political landscape and we see the same things?
But I, El Rushbo, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned Maha Rushi, am not with you on this.
Why do you think this is?
Now I can speculate, and I've got some potential answers I might hear roaring through my brain at the moment, but I'm not going to lead you in any answers by telling you what I think some of you will say.
Nevertheless, I do Remain curious.
Why am I on the cutting edge?
Why am I who can see the stitches on a fastball?
Why am I, a man who knows liberals like every square inch in my glorious naked body?
Not with you.
Note that I am not asking why are you not with me?
That would be the ego oriented way to ask the question.
The ego oriented question would be what are you people doing?
What do you not see?
How in the world can you not agree with me?
I am not phrasing the question in that fashion.
I want to know why you think I am not with you.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Drive by media is just orgasmic, ladies and gentlemen, over the fact that Congress's approval rating is 16%.
We have a montage of virtually everybody we could find who made reference to it.
Look at the approval rating that they're giving to Congress.
16% overall approval rating.
That is the lowest since 1992.
Only 16%, an appalling number.
Sixteen percent of Americans say they approve the way Congress is handling its job.
Ask about Congress overall.
People gave it just a 16% approval rating.
A poll today, the lowest rating, I think in history for this Congress.
Huge majority of Americans extremely dissatisfied with the Congress.
Poisonous snakes get higher approval ratings.
Republicans' approval rating in Congress, only 16%.
It's all over.
I mean, the fat lady has sunk.
Approval of Congress has sunk to its lowest point since Republicans took control twelve years ago.
The latest one in the Wall Street Journal was 16.
Look at that.
16.
I've never seen anything like this ever, ever, ever on any poll.
I thought there was a floor to how low it could go.
This is down to 16 one in six voters has trust in the Congress.
Okay.
Now I know it's easy to say that this, like Scarborough did.
It's easy to say that uh the approval of Republicans in Congress is only sixteen percent.
But yesterday when I looked, there were Democrats there too.
The institution of Congress is made up of Republicans and Democrats.
You know, frankly, folks, I gotta tell you something.
I thoroughly enjoy this.
I love it when people don't like government like this.
I love it when the approval rate uh the the I don't want to see people.
I love what Congress is doing.
76%, 80% of I I cringe when I see that.
I think this is uh, and I think this is probably across the board if this is totally accurate.
Moving on, this is uh hardball with Chris Matthews last night talking to Democrat strategist Bob Schrum, who has run a number of presidential campaigns for Democrats and who has never won one of them.
Matthews says, What do you make of these numbers, Bob?
Sixteen percent approval for Congress.
I think there's a political tsunami coming.
I don't think it's just gonna be that Republicans are gonna lose this election.
I think they're gonna lose in places where people aren't even anticipating there's a contest.
All right, now who is Bob Schrum?
Bob Schrum is a man who ran John Kerry's campaign in 2004.
I did he run El Gors in uh 2000.
He's run a number of uh presidential campaigns and has never won one.
Newsweek, January 10th, 2005.
Story by Evan Thomas.
The seven o'clock exit polls were considered to be reasonably reliable.
Time to tell the candidate the good news.
Bob Schrum, Carrie's friend and close advisor, couldn't resist the moment.
He walked into Kerry's office and said, May I be the first to say, Mr. President?
Said this to John Kerry.
Now, this uh this prediction that he's making, I think they're gonna lose in places where people aren't even anticipating there's a contest.
Uh in all fairness, in all candor and in all honesty, back in 1994, the well, the 93 were the elections for the 94 uh Congress.
I said much the same thing.
There was only there were two people that were predicting massive, massive change uh in the House of Representatives.
One was Bob Novak and the other was me.
And I was basing it on a number of things.
Contract with America, the fact that Republicans had successfully nationalized house races.
House races traditionally run on local issues, like did the incumbent bring home enough money to build a new social services center or a new cemetery or a new water plant or what have you.
But the Republicans succeeded in nationalizing these races and having congressional Republicans run on national issues.
What'll happen to the country if Democrats go there and Clinton's health care plan is fully enacted, those kinds of things.
And it mattered.
Plus, we were coming off all kinds of uh of uh scandal and corruption.
We had the House bank and the uh the House Post Office, uh both issues that were highlighted and blown up to mainstream levels on this program.
Now some might say, well, you get the same thing now, Rush.
Uh you got well, except the Democrats don't have a contract with America, the Democrats don't have an agenda they run on.
The Democrats are not out there saying what they're gonna do.
I mean, Nancy Pelosi's got her first 100 hours and so forth, but as you know, they can't have come up with a plan.
They can't come up with a phrase, they can't come up with a slogan.
This is not a well-kept secret.
Uh as for the corruption, the corruption is foley.
Uh and this is this is uh Foley's not an institutional-wide scandal.
It's one guy who's not there.
We are being asked to believe that Mark Foley is more important to the American voter, the national security, economic advancement and progress.
We're being asked to believe that that's what the American voter is zeroing in on.
I don't think the circumstances in this year's elections are identical to uh to those in uh 1994.
At any rate, quick time out, we'll be back.
Oh, oh, oh.
This is an unsigned editorial, USA Today.
Democrats lead but lacked message.
Polls indicate that if the November elections were held today, Democrat candidates would make major gains across the board.
Democrats are within reach of the 15 seats they need to win a majority in the House of Representatives, might even capture control the Senate.
That would be quite an achievement considering the party itself is in disarray.
Howard Dean, chairman of the Democrat National Committee, been feuding with key members of Congress over how to spend the party's money.
Things got so bad this spring that Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the party's point person for picking up House seats, stormed out of a meeting screaming obscenities.
Their respective staffs patched together a compromise last month, but only after DNC staffers toyed with demanding a good behavior clause, requiring Emmanuel to stop bad-mouthing Dean.
Of course, the update to this is they've had to go out and borrow five to ten million dollars in the last weeks of the campaign here for various races in the House and Senate that they want to won, uh win.
Either way, the Democrats will achieve very little until they can put together a vision that rallies voters.
That presumably would include credible plans for addressing the quagmire in Iraq, restoring fiscal sanity, and reigning in Washington's corruption, but they have no plans for any of these things.
So far, all that is missing.
And if Democrats' high hopes aren't realized come November 7th, the screaming between Dean and other party leaders will only grow louder.
Now, I don't know who wrote this.
I don't know if this was written by a Republican.
I don't know who wrote this.
But it's in the paper.
And I'm happy to see that somewhere, somebody is doing what I have been doing and exploring the impact on Democrats if they don't win in this climate.
Because everybody assumes that they can't possibly lose.
They're already spiking the ball on the 10-yard line.
They think it's a rep. It's done.
It's FINE.
It is over.
If they don't win, the hell that will descend on this party is going to be more than you can possibly imagine.
Everybody expects the Republicans to lose, folks.
I mean, that's already been written.
That bar has already been set.
The Democrats lose.
If they don't win big, then that's where the story is going to be, and that is where the introspection is going to be, and that's where the fund's going to be as well.
Quick timeout, we'll be back and continue right after this.
Stay with us.
Open line Friday.
And to the phones we go to Waterloo, Iowa.
Tom, Thanks for waiting.
It's your turn, sir.
Hi.
Rush, long-range surveillance airborne dittoes from a 13-year veteran.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate that.
Everything that you do, you're such a warrior, Rush.
I I can't even begin to thank you for everything that you do for us.
Rush, my uh Oh, I'm sorry.
That's no, I'm I'm floored.
Thank you very much.
You're not going to be able to do that.
Well, never mind.
I don't want to go there.
What was it that you called about?
Actually, well, actually, that that's actually to my point, Rush.
Uh, you are a warrior of a different kind.
And and uh the president at times has touched on the fact that uh we have a different kind of enemy.
They wage war in a different way.
And you are one of those warriors that helps wage war in the pro political arena here on our shores, Rush, and you do uh a fantastic job.
You are a commanding general in that uh arena.
I uh I want to make a comment, Rush, about the fact that the breadth of this war extends into the ballot box and and and it extends in a way that is so important in the sense that when America wages war, and the president touched on this as well, we uh we attempt to inject a little bit of democracy and freedom into the Middle East.
And when we do this, we hope that it spreads and that it that it spreads like wildfire.
Well, there's a weapon that the Taliban uh Al-Qaeda uh insurgency uses against uh us that that I fear might be effective, and it's and it's just a small fear right now, Rush.
What is I'm sorry, what?
What is it?
This weapon rush is is a weapon in creating through certain tools uh via liberalism, uh creating voter apathy, creating uh uh a lack of of resilience and conservative voting, because they know one thing for sure over there, Rush.
They know that when they stand toe-to-toe with an American fighting soldier, they will lose.
But there's one way they can beat us.
There's one way they can beat us, and that's when the American soldier turns to look for the support of of a united American people.
Uh, they know that's where they can get it.
Well, you know, this I'm I'm I mentioned this yesterday on the program.
I'm and I mentioned this first back in September.
I said the largest block of undecided voters.
I mean back in September I said has yet to weigh in.
Will they side with the Republicans?
Will they side with the Democrats?
And the largest block of undecided voters is the terrorists, primarily the rock, but around the world.
With whom will they side?
It is clear now, with the increased acts of violence, three weeks less than that now to go before the election.
It is clear that the terrorists and the insurgents, if you want to call them that, have chosen sides.
The early voting has begun and they are voting with the Democrats.
What's interesting about this is that the Democrats are running around saying George Bush is creating more terrorists.
Bush is the terrorist.
Bush is creating all this hatred and anger for the United States.
Well, if I were a terrorist and I wanted to swell my ranks, I'd love Bush.
I'd want to keep Bush in office.
Why, if I'm really if the United States is losing the war, if the United States is being shellacked, if the United States is being humiliated, and I'm a terrorist leader, why I'd do everything I can to keep Bush in office.
And the way I would do that is I would curtail my attacks.
I would create the impression that maybe the Republicans and the the the White House, Bush is winning this war in Iraq.
I'd start shooting some of my own people that I don't care about.
Besides, that's how we get them to die anyway, send them to heaven, just wipe them out, promise them 72 virgins, make it look like the U.S. military is invincible, and get everybody voting for Bush again.
Because I want Bush in there because I'm winning this war.
I know I'm winning the war because the American media says it every night, and they have been saying it for two years.
And the Democratic Party says I'm winning the war, says the terrorist leader.
Well, if I'm winning the war with Bush in office, why the hell do I want him gone?
I mean, I want him there.
He's creating more people to recruit for me That will join my cause.
I am creaming his army's clock.
Why do I why why do I want to get rid of him?
But yet what am I doing as a terrorist leader?
I have thrown in with the Democrats.
I'm trying to make sure that Americans think that they got no prayer in Iraq.
I'm trying to make sure that American voters think it's all lost.
I'm trying to make sure that American voters get sick and tired and want their people out of here.
So I am ratcheting up my attacks, and I am throwing in with the Democrats.
Now, why would the terrorists want Democrats in the in the uh Oval Office running the war instead of the guy that they're easily beating and who's creating more terrorists for them?
Well, obviously they want a Democrat in because they're the ones who will quit.
They're the ones who will cut and run.
They're the ones who will secure victory for the terrorists.
Whereas Bush so far has not made it possible for them.
We'll be back in just a second.
I know.
Thank you, and welcome back open line Friday, L. Rushball having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Standby audio soundbites, let's see, 9, 10, and I think 11.
So, I don't know how many of you have seen this.
Uh CNN is airing uh video footage that is disgusting.
It is terrorist propaganda, essentially.
It is videotape which shows snipers in Iraq killing American servicemen.
Now we can't see the video of 9-11, because we don't have the mental toughness.
It's too soon.
It's too traumatic.
We can't see that again on the news.
And we uh we can't see pictures of Americans, innocent Americans jumping from the higher floors of the World Trade Center, committing suicide to avoid burning to death.
No, no, no.
We we can't see that.
Uh but we can see video tape on CNN of U.S. soldiers being shot by snipers in Iraq.
Now, CNN's not entirely insensitive.
They do fade to black before the moment of impact when the soldier dies.
I wonder if uh if terrorists were taking sniper type pot shots at journalists running around CNN would find that newsworthy.
A CNN executive said Thursday, the network's effort to present the unvarnished truth.
Let's face it, CNN, the unvarnished truth to you is not the unvarnished truth of reality.
The unvarnished truth that is CNN's is that America sucks, that America is to blame, America deserves to lose.
We have no business being where we are.
This stuff is happening because we brought it on ourselves.
We deserve for it to happen.
The idea that this is airing two, three weeks before an election, not surprising to me at all.
But the CNN executive said that uh the network's effort to present the unvarnished truth about the Iraq war led it to televised portions of a video that shows insurgent snipers targeting U.S. military personnel, the tape, which came to the network unexpectedly.
Sort of like just over the transom, ladies and just I mean, they were minding their own business at CNN, trying to figure out how to destroy the Bush administration and other ways, and lo and behold, here comes a tape from the insurgents.
Yes, the tape came to CNN unexpectedly through contact with an insurgent leader.
It was uh first aired Wednesday night on Anderson Cooper 360 and then repeated on Thursday.
In excuse me.
In one instance, the tape shows a uniform member of the U.S. military milling in a public area with Iraqis.
A shot brings Out.
CNN fades the screen to black before the result, described as a victim falling forward, is visible.
It's one of ten separate sniper attacks on Americans documented on the tape, which CNN technicians, and remember these are the people that can't figure out how various things pop up on the screen when Dick Cheney is speaking.
CNN technicians concluded that the tape was authentic.
Yes, said David Daws, executive producer of Cooper's show in a weblog entry describing the network's decision of what to show.
CNN could not determine the identity of any of the sniper victims.
Well, does CNN happen to know who the terrorist was?
The CNN happen to know who the insurgent was that delivered them this propaganda tape that they determined was worthwhile to show the unvarnished truth about the Iraq war.
Is this not the truth about any war?
Good guys and bad guys fire at each other.
And sometimes they hit the target.
What in the world is newsworthy about this?
What in the world is unvarnished in terms of truth about this as opposed to any other truth in war?
The truth about war has been so obliterated by the American drive-by media that Americans who have not been taught sufficiently about war in the public school system must have a totally convoluted view of what it is.
Is war a video game?
Is war that's something that lasts a year or two?
Is war something where you don't take any casualties?
Is war where you get shot three or four times and live to tell about it thirty minutes later?
What the hell is war to these people at CNN?
Unvarnished truth.
My rear end, CNN understood that some critics might find the tape had public relations benefits for the insurgency.
Doss admitted that on his log.
We also understood that this kind of footage is upsetting and disturbing for many viewers, but after getting beyond the emotional debate, we concluded the tape meets our criteria for newsworthiness.
Yeah, well, it's your criteria for newsworthiness, CNN, that is the question.
Not the U.S. military.
Not the Iraq war.
Your criteria for what makes news is precisely the question that millions of Americans have with CNN.
It is no accident that CNN's ratings have been plummeting for years.
It is no accident that more and more people are seeking news elsewhere.
Particularly in a time of war, when this ought to be CNN's big chance to show how they're better than everybody else.
This is not what the American people want to see.
This is the kind of thing that can backfire big time among those who do see it, and uh as we are taking care of today, those who hear about it.
Our previous caller said people take the issue of national security with them into the ballot box.
Things like this at CNN will certainly help fulfill that philosophy.
We have audio sound bites on this.
Here is Anderson Cooper from Wednesday night, how he introduced the special report from CNN correspondent Michael Ware.
Tonight you'll see how some Americans in Iraq are getting killed.
The killings were videotaped by the insurgents and made available to CNN.
There is no doubt the footage is disturbing to watch.
Our decision to run it has not been taken lightly.
This story, shocking as you may find it, is one that we believe needs to be told.
Spare me, Anderson.
Spare me your holier than now, smarter than everybody else rhetoric.
You want to show how some Americans in Iraq are getting killed.
Why not show us how every American's getting?
Why don't why don't you get in league with the insurgents and the next time they're gonna set up one of these IED devices or roadside bomb so you can be there and film that?
And by the way, let's see the video tape of how they did that to Bob Woodward at ABC.
Why don't you show us that?
Bob Woodward, ABC anchor, injured while he's embedded.
And of course, all we got was how brave he was.
We got l yards and yards and yards, miles of video Tape on Bob Woodward and whoever else was hurt and killed with him.
We don't know who these American soldiers are.
They're not worth enough to find out.
They're not worth hero status.
It's not worth it to CNN to find out who these men were and to follow their progress after being injured to maybe a hospital or an infirmary.
Nope.
Let it be a journalist, it would be an entirely different story.
This is this is uh uh it's offensive and insensitive to say the least, but the arrogance and the condescension that they presented this is what blows me away.
No doubt the footing uh footage is disturbing.
Our decision to run it has not been taken lately.
The story, shocking as you may find it is one we believe needs to be told.
Really the story that people die in war?
The story is that the enemy kills us?
It's a story that's news to you.
And you think Americans ought to see it?
For what purpose?
Don't tell me you people are so naive and ignorant that you just figured out that people get killed in war.
I refuse to believe you're that dense.
So you must have a political reason for showing this.
There's a political decision behind showing this.
You think and you hope the American people will be so repulsed by seeing what happens in war that they will continue to demand we get out or not support it and elect your buddies.
The spineless linguiny cut-and-run crowd of the Democratic Party.
That's what CNN's decision was totally based on.
Let me ask you this, Anderson.
Do you would if if the U.S. military as an institution or an individual sent you a videotape showing how we are killing insurgents and terrorists?
Would you show that?
Or would you not, because you would have fear of inciting Muslims and Islamo fascists.
I know you've shown videotape from a distance of a Jeep being blown up, supposedly carrying terrorists, but would you give us the up close and personal view of an American sniper killing the enemy?
How many of them have died, Anderson?
Why don't you look into that?
This reporting is totally devoted to how many Americans have died, but you never give us the body count of the other side.
If you got videotape that shows American snipers shooting insurgents, would you show it to us under the auspices of No, I don't even have to answer the question.
The only video you'll show are the still shots are what you think are torture at Abu Ghrab.
Somehow the torture at Abu Ghrab is more offensive to you than this.
the death of American soldiers.
Here is a portion of the CNN correspondent, Michael Weir, and his report.
A sniper is watching these American soldiers.
You're looking at the unobstructed view from the sniper team's vehicle.
And they are waiting for their moment as the soldiers mingle with Iraqi civilians.
People are around them, warns the sniper's spotter.
He seems to be operating the video camera.
Wants me to find another place?
No, no, comes the reply.
Give me a moment.
And then the soldier falls forward.
You hear the sniper's vehicle start and they slip away.
CNN obtained the graphic type through intermediaries from the Islamic Army of Iraq.
One of the most active insurgent organizations in the country.
It is titled Latest Sniper Operations in Baghdad.
Isn't that just cool?
So CNN's in league with the snipers has a contact somehow.
Do you think they would ever impart the information to the U.S. military so that these guys could be dealt with?
No, of course they can't get involved.
CNN cannot violate its cherished principles of journalism by choosing sides.
It can't do that.
It is just there reporting what's going on.
And here is Anderson Cooper after the report.
Just a production note, we dipped to black at points in that report so as not to show the moment of a bullet's impact.
And I should just restate that sniper video and the interview with the insurgent that you just saw are exclusive to CNN.
All sniper videos have appeared on the internet and elsewhere on Arab language stations around the world.
This video has not.
Oh, good.
Anderson's for ratings.
You want us to know that it's exclusive to CNN.
I'll tell you what I take from that.
The insurgents think they're in bed with you back in just a second.
And we're back.
By the way, I have to note.
And I just checked with the call screener on this.
Not one person has attempted to call and answer my question.
And that question is.
Why?
When I am the doctor of democracy.
When I am America's truth detector, when I am America's real anchor man, why?
And speaking to those of you in the cut and run uh conservative crowd, claim you're not going to vote.
Why am I not with you?
Why do I not see it?
As you do.
We're all conservatives here.
Why do I not see it as you do?
I could say, how come you people aren't listening to me?
Why don't you agree with it?
I'm not asking that because I am not of an inflated ego.
I want to know why it is you think I'm not with you.
Here's Dana in Tampa.
It's uh nice to have you.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Rush, always a privilege.
Listen, I want to remind you that CNN is fair because they did videotape or produce one of our Marines killing an insurgent.
And that insurgent, uh, if you remember, it was like at point blank through uh uh uh it was all video taped, and it was with an embedded reporter.
That Marine was brought up on court martial charges, and afterwards they found out that the guy that they were killed, he was killing him over a dead body or something, and that dead body was wired with explosives to kill our servicemen.
So, yes, CNN, they they play both sides of the issue, and I I I just have one thing to say to CNN that they're the North American affiliate of Al Jazeera, and I call them Alja CNN.
Algia CNN.
I remember this uh remember this incident.
Uh CNN was in there and uh video, I think it was CNN drive-by media.
And uh it was not clear that the uh person the Marine shot was an insurgent because the insurgents dress like innocent citizens and civilians, just like the Hezbollah people do in uh southern uh Lebanon.
And uh they yep, yep, we killed an innocent man.
A Marine killed an NC man, we don't put up with this, and I'll see an end.
And it did turn out that the uh Marine was exonerated.
It's a good point.
Here's Brian in uh Crofton, Maryland.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Uh I just want to tell you you've been a lifelong inspiration to me.
And it's a pleasure to talk to you again.
Thank you, sir.
All right, I'm in a bit of a quandary and see if you can help.
I'm a uh as you know, you're coming to the Warner Theater on the 16th of November to speak, and of course I'd like to go see you.
And generally I can get tickets to any show because I'm a union stagehand in the metropolitan area.
But um needless to say, Wait, wait, where wait, wait, wait, where are you a union stagehand?
At the Warner Theater?
No, no, it's all the venues, Rush.
Uh stage hands work uh wherever there's work.
I work.
I've never worked in the Warner, but I've worked in National Theater, the Kennedy Center, MCI Center, FedEx Field, RFK, you know, so forth and so on.
Ten four.
But but the union does all the venues.
But generally I can get tickets to any show, and and you know, anything I need to get to, because you know, I know guys that are all my bosses, you know, they talk to the production company, they're friends with them, and I can get tickets to whatever.
For uh, like Alvinely, for example, you you had recommended that show on your show, that dance troupe, and I went and saw that.
Of course, that was phenomenal, but now I need some advice on how do I how do I trick my friends into uh getting me tickets to go to your show?
Wait, the union will not give you tickets to see me in concert at the Warner Theater.
Rush, don't let me misspeak.
It's not the union.
I have friends in the union who will uh then who is it?
Oh, I I don't want to say his name, believe me.
But you know, they go through production, like in a rock show comes in, they'll get tickets from the production company or whoever.
You know, wait, but so is it because you're conservative?
Yeah, I mean, Rush, these guys are beyond liberal.
These guys are like, you know, Bush blew up the towers.
Uh I can't even say what they call you on the air.
Well, this is not whoa, what you're talking Whoa, well, no, wait a minute.
Now I you I've got ten seconds, and I've got more questions than I have time to get answers for.
I'll hold.
You mean the people that won't give you tickets are on the air somewhere?
No, no, no, Rush.
All right, okay.
All right.
Well, hang on here.
Hang hang on a minute.
We'll get to the bottom of this at some point.
Not surprised tickets sold out in ten minutes, but we'll see what we can do.
We got one cut and run conservative who wants to try to explain why he thinks I'm not with him.
We're going through the process now, but that's it.
Just one.
Just one.
Must not be that many of you.
Back in just a second.
