Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying.
That's because we search for the truth relentlessly, we find it, we proclaim it, and we drive people crazy.
If you can't handle the truth, don't listen.
You too will go nuts.
Friday, let's go nuts.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And we're back.
Open line Friday, L. Rush Bowl.
When we go to the phones, the program is all yours.
Feel free, ladies and gentlemen.
To bring up or discuss whatever you wish.
800-282-2882, and the email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
All right, I'm gonna take a stab, and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm only gonna do this because it's Friday.
I'm gonna take a stab at this uh O.J. Simpson book, the If I Did It, the book if he had killed his wife and uh Ron Goldman, how he would have done it.
Of course it's repulsive.
I but the the way I'm kind of violating my own rule is I'm really not that all that worked up about this.
And when I start talking about things I'm really not that passionate about, I tend to start having verbal diarrhea.
Wandering aimlessly for a thought out there.
I I guess it would be important to share with you my perspective.
I know Judith Regan.
Uh she approached me, she's the editor on this O.J. book.
And she approached me uh way back, I mean, they what was it, 91, to uh write a book.
Um it was the last thing I had ever thought that I would do.
I mean, I I mean never even had an ambition to do it, and she sold me on the concept, and of course it sold two and a half million copies.
Uh the second one did the same.
Uh and after that she went out uh and and procured other radio people to do books uh and so forth, and she's made a career out of um doing things that nobody else do.
And I was the first.
Now at the time, you know, she and and you I didn't talk about this, you don't know it.
She had all kinds of internal problems, Simon and Schuster, for daring to do a book with me.
They're not conservatives over there.
And she got a lot of grief uh for doing it, even after it succeeded.
Uh the money didn't matter, it just the fact that it succeeded.
Uh they they they stuck with it for the second one.
Uh, but she's she's always been fighting these battles.
She has um uh a different uh uh attitude.
I mean, they're they're renegades in in uh in every profession.
Now, I haven't talked to Judith in years.
Uh I haven't emailed her in years.
I I don't I've I think she's moved out to California now, but I'm not even sure about that.
She was talking about doing it.
The last thing that um that I'm that I remember about Judith is that she was on O'Reilly's TV show one night and said, I didn't write my books.
And I I don't know what I had done to her to cause her to say that.
Uh she said, Well, that's not that big a deal.
No celebrities write their own books.
And of course, Bill was making, well, I write mine, I write every word of mine, of course.
Um, you know, I don't, in my case, I technically didn't write.
I dictated the uh stuff.
I my vocabulary expands by about a hundred percent when I'm talking.
And then we transcribed it and we edited it for the printed page and so forth.
But to suggest the words were not mine was a little disingenuous.
So that's the last time I've heard from her.
But this this OJ stuff, you know, she has a point in her in her statement or column about this.
Barbara Walters will go talk to Menendez Brothers all day, and nobody cares.
Uh and we can, you know, Menendez jury can go on Oprah, and they can write books uh talk about it, and that Menendez jury was a disgrace, just as the OJ uh jury was uh was a disgrace.
But I there's a part of me that says this is the culture that we live in, and in fact, it is a culture that many have promoted the very entertainment media that will get bored if the F-word isn't uttered a bunch of times, the MTV Music awards and write pieces.
Oh, that was a lousy award, so it was lousy.
There was no politics, there was no profanity, there was no outrageousness or so forth.
I mean, people have sort of set the stage for demanding this kind of stuff, and as you get it, this shock value kind of stuff, you need to keep shocking people even more to maintain the impact and the uh and the effect.
Uh I can imagine how the Goldman family feels about this.
But I'll tell you, folks, modern media today, this doesn't surprise me.
This is obviously a uh branch of the media, this is book publishing and so forth.
O.J. was acquitted, and he can't be retried for the crimes, no matter what he says does.
The jury did find him not guilty.
Everybody thinks the jury was whacked, everybody thinks he did it.
Investigators say there's nobody else that could have done it.
Uh nobody that could have helped him out.
I mean, he had it had to be him and only him.
There's no evidence to suggest anybody but him.
But we we've we've reached a point here where crime pays.
And in a way, I'm I'm kind of glad this has happened.
I think somebody does need to be awakened as to what is happening with pop culture and where we're headed and how and who we make celebrities of.
And how and who ends up being, I mean, OJ's not the only reprobate out there that's considered uh marketable and worth big bucks and is uh idolized, and so hell, look what people are willing to do to go on the Jerry Springer show for 15 minutes of fame on television.
So I yes, I mean, in the in the strict intellectual and emotional sense, it's outrageous, and it is um it's offensive.
But you know, I I've told you before, I don't I don't give people the power to offend me anymore.
I mean, it still happens, but I most of the time I'm successful in uh in in not letting people dictate my feelings on uh on things like this.
And the the usual cat calls have erupted.
Don't watch this show.
Don't read this book, don't buy it, don't do any of this, don't patronize the sponsors uh of Fox, not the Fox News channel, it's gonna be the Fox Network.
I think was it uh the 27th.
27th and 29th, I believe it is, uh, that they're they're gonna do the uh the supposed interview with O.J. if I did it.
I'm not trying to be a cynic.
I just I frankly, I it when I heard about it, it didn't surprise me.
I think this is the direction the culture's been headed.
And it's it's it's just uh to me a next logical step.
I mean, this is not the first outrageous rageous thing that's happened in the O.J. Simpson case.
It's just uh it's just the latest.
It was it's been a circus from the get-go.
Why should you expect it to change?
And when you couple, you know, Judith Renegade status and her her desire uh to take on projects that nobody else will in order to define her imprint uh and so forth.
I mean, she's she's doing this and she's gonna sink or swim with it.
She's taking a risk, and whether it pays off or not is uh something only uh only time will tell.
But she did go into into into rapid response gear on this with a full-fledged op-ed in the uh in the New York Post.
Before we go to the break, ladies and gentlemen, uh I want you to listen to the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, who, as I said last night to the 2000 plus at the Warner Theater in the nation's capital, has yet to demonstrate one qualification for the office.
Her one uh endeavor into massive federalism was an utter disaster in itself and for her party.
Clinton care.
And she's promising it's coming back.
She literally has done nothing other than here's why she's qualified.
She's in qual she qualified because to the left she's entitled.
She was at Yale and she went to Wellesley, and she's establishing her own.
She could have been something on her own.
She could have been big, whatever she chose, but she decided to hitch her wagon to Bill Clinton and follow along and then take over when he got wherever he was going to go.
Well, before he got where he was going to go, he had to go back to Arkansas.
And when you tell people at Yale or Harvard or Wellesley or Smith or Brown or Cornell that you're going back to Arkansas after you've built this reputation of being the smartest woman in the world, they hold her nose and go, Arkansas, yeah.
So she bites the lower lip, goes back to Arkansas, Clinton gets elected governor at 26,000 a year.
They can't live on that.
So she has to go to work at the Rose Law Firm and she becomes the breadwinner.
Meanwhile, Clinton's out there doing what?
Hello, Jennifer Flowers, and who knows however many else.
And she sits there and she suffers it.
And she lives through it.
And she backs him up and she supports him.
And she doesn't do anything to harm his future.
He plays around some more, does whatever he does.
Finally they run for office.
Lo and behold, he wins, get to Washington.
He gives her health care, or she demanded it.
It gets botched.
Paula Jones, Kathleen Willie, Monica Lewinsky, further humiliation, further just kick her in the teeth.
She stuck with him.
Now it's just her turn.
She is owed this.
She's entitled to this because she went to Arkansas when she could have been anything without this guy.
But she stuck with it.
And she's this is how they think.
She's simply entitled.
And all this or it takes village and the smartest woman in the world.
So with all that, I want you to listen to her.
Getting into the act here, demonstrating zero understanding of how the economy works, the minimum wage rally on Capitol Hill, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee.
Are we ready to let justice roll?
Are we ready to take this great victory that we had and translate it into action for the working people of this country by raising the minimum wage?
Well, you're ready and we're ready.
And we've seen justice roll across this country.
State after state, when they had a chance to vote, voted to raise the minimum wage.
City after city has said we can't let people who work hard every day taking care of our children, taking care of our parents, cleaning up after us, serving us our food, live in poverty when they're working full time.
Hold it a sec.
So the minimum wage all of a sudden now has become a way to get liberal servants pay higher.
Why don't they just pay them more?
Here's the rest of the bite.
This is a matter of economics because when there's more money in your pockets, you spend more money in your communities.
Yeah, I'll tell you what, that is inspiring.
That is the smartest woman in the world.
There's more money in your pocket than there's more money in your communities.
This from the woman who wants to raise your taxes and take money out of your pocket.
Talent on loan from God.
Audio soundbite, uh, Ted Kennedy at the uh he's screaming too here at the uh minimum wage rally on Capitol Hill yesterday.
I want to give you the assurance of something else.
We're gonna raise it and raise it and raise it and raise it and raise it, and raise it and raise it and raise it and raise it.
Till it's the kind of living wage that we know that we need on this.
Oh, what's that?
I was talking about the car under the bridge, you're gonna raise and raise and raise it.
No, he's talking about the minimum wage.
Um, why don't they just make it 20 bucks an hour and be done with it?
I mean, I've asked this question before.
If 750 is good, why not $10?
$725, whatever.
But if it's $725 is good, why not $10?
If $10 good, why not $15?
You reach a point where this no, you can't raise it that much.
But this is all a shill, folks.
The whole, the all the only reason these people care about the minimum wage is because that raises the floor uh for union negotiations.
See, the unions are behind this.
They have no love for you minimum wage schlubs.
That's exactly what they think.
If you were any good, they'd want you in a union.
But you're not capable of union work.
So you're out there, you're doing a dirt grunt jobs, entry-level jobs, but they want you to get paid twelve bucks an hour for it so that the average union negotiator can say those schlubs that you're paying twelve bucks an hour and they're qualified to do nothing?
Well, my guys are worth 75 an hour.
And That's how it works.
That's that's what this is all about.
In the meantime, the Democrats get to act like they care about the little guy.
Here they want the minimum wage raise, and they're trying to put Walmart out of business.
The two don't go together.
Jack Mertha, he did not take his defeat uh with grace.
Uh yesterday, ladies and gentlemen.
This is after the Democrats voted on their new leaders and they all came out of there uh with those phony smiles on their face.
This is the loser, Mertha.
I didn't have enough votes.
And so I'll go back to my small subcommittee that I have uh appropriations.
The budget.
Yeah.
But I appreciate uh and I said inside that I work passionately all over the country trying to change the direction of the country, and I think I played a big role in that.
And I continue to do that.
I congratulate Nancy.
Uh uh, she's such a magnificent political leader, one of the best political minds I've ever seen.
Uh oh.
I congratulate Stenny on his campaign.
He ran a hell of a campaign, and uh and I can't fault anything that he did, but uh my congratulations to the other leaders and look forward to working with them to redeploy our troops and and to get these troops uh out of Iraq and get get uh back on track and quit spending eight billion dollars a month.
Okay, so that's it.
That's uh Jack Murphy.
Umdios Sayonara headed to the sunset, Tom and St. Paul, next up you are.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, Rush, you're doing what you were made to do.
I started listening to you in October of 88.
I had just gotten married in August of 88.
You were made to host, I was made to listen.
Uh you uh still married.
Oh, I am.
And still listening.
Hey, listen, uh, yesterday on Michael Medved's show, uh, he said that Stenny Hoyer and uh and Bella Pelosi were interns together in the early sixties uh uh with some senator from uh Maryland, since they were both from Maryland.
Yeah.
And that would ex that would explain the uh the high school type rivalry that they have then.
Right.
The feud goes back to then.
Yeah.
Well, good.
They can have the feud.
Yeah.
Uh I'm sure she won't forget.
No, the well, probably not.
Uh, she sounds like she tends to make things personal and uh and to carry grudges.
Uh so it's it's it's gonna be fascinating to watch.
Mark my words, folks.
I'm not making any prediction.
I'm just it's awfully early.
I mean, these guys are on such a euphoric high for a week, and then this all comes up, and there is uh well it uh there's some trepidations out there about her.
And it's what, Mr. Snerdley, what is it?
Yes, this grudge business.
What about the grudge business?
Everybody was it always had a grudge against Hoyer, and she's had a grudge against Harmon.
Nobody can figure out what it is.
It probably comes down to fact that Jane is blonde and better looking.
But everybody, what they're gonna say is that it has to do with Harmon has didn't use her intelligence committee post to bash Bush enough.
I mean, that's what they're saying, but nobody really knows what the source of animus is between Jane Harmon, Nancy Pelosi.
They are both wealthy.
They are both from California, one San Francisco, one uh Southern Los Angeles, California area.
Uh one of them is very smart.
Uh and it's it's uh one's blonde, uh, and that those two are not necessarily associated in this case, but I'm I'm just there's this there's there's a rivalry there.
There's some there's some jealousy.
It's personal.
Uh uh.
What I think it already has moved to the stereotypical land.
You mean in time in in in in uh in the context of the media looking at it or average people looking at it?
Look.
Well, I don't know how much average people are gonna learn about this.
I mean, if the average Don't get me started on average people because I'm having a good time today, and the average people really disappointed me in the election.
I thought average people would have noticed a hell of a lot more about what the Democrats were doing than they apparently did.
I thought the average people would understand a devious series of political tricks and see what they are and not let them be s let themselves be swayed by it.
But the average people, some of you average people out there, let me down.
You know who you are.
So I don't know if they're gonna know I don't know that they're gonna care.
That Nancy Pelosi and Jane Harmon are having a little catfight here until they can see it.
If they could actually see it, if we can arrange for a blow-up to happen, that were there were pictures of it, then that that would change the whole context of it.
Global warming news coming up.
Stay with us, my good amigos.
Easily, gladly, making the complex understandable.
We'll get back to your phone calls in uh just a moment.
Here on Open Line Friday.
First, we have just we we've just received a copy of a commercial, the audio of a commercial that ran.
It was not run for the public.
This was a commercial that was running inside the uh the house audio system on the Democrat cloakrooms and uh and caucus rooms for the past three or four days.
You dropped a bomb on me.
Okay, open line Friday, Laura in uh Clarksburg, West Virginia.
Nice that you called.
I appreciate you waiting, and welcome.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
I had a question for you about diesel.
Um, before Katrina and the Middle East crisis, diesel was much less expensive than the regular unleaded, and now it's so much more expensive.
Why is that?
Uh it's you can uh you can blame uh the government on this.
Actually, it blame the environmentalist wackos on this.
Uh the price back in September, uh what is the price of diesel now when you buy it?
Oh, uh 270 or so.
27.
Well, it's it's coming down because uh I don't know what it was uh back in in August.
Late August, the average price for diesel uh nationwide was uh uh three dollars and two cents.
Uh uh on on August 28th, the regular gasoline was two eighty-five at the time.
Uh now it says here, I got when I saw you up there, we looked this up.
Found a USA Today story, the main issue propping up diesel prices is a change in the formulation of the fuel.
In an effort to reduce pollution, government rules dictate that starting October the 15th, which uh is about three weeks ago.
Uh actually a month ago now, the sulfur content of diesel must be no more than fifteen parts per million down from five hundred parts per million.
Companies have been prepping for this transition, but the oncoming deadline is keeping people on edge, even if no major problems surface.
The chance that they may have uh they may occur is high enough to cause market participants to pay a little bit more than they would otherwise.
While gasoline prices are likely headed even lower, diesel prices are poised to increase in large part because of the fuel changeover issue.
So there you have it.
How do you like that?
Yeah.
But you know what?
The great thing here, even though the answer sadly disappoints you, you knew where to call to get it.
Of course I did, and you you were the only one I could trust.
Well, thank you.
I'm glad I have one more thing I wanted to add.
I know you call uh Nancy Pelosi Nazi Pelosi.
You might call her empty Pelosi.
No, no, no.
That's that George Soros.
He can't speak English well, but he pronounces it that way, but I don't.
Oh, you don't?
Are you being called?
I've now wouldn't call no, no, I'm not called her Nazi Pelosi.
You're hearing George Soros, not friends of Nazi Pelosi.
And no, no, no, we never called her.
I've called her Bella Luposi, Miss America, uh Bella Pelosi, Miss America, and Nancy Pelosi.
We've numbered different names for.
What about empty Pelosi?
Empty Pelosi.
Well, it is not.
Not quite.
Not quite.
I appreciate the suggestion.
Uh thanks, uh thanks, thanks much.
Okay, been promising this couple funny little environmental wacko stories here.
Scientists, pollution could combat global warming.
Pollution.
We got to get rid of pollution, I thought.
We have to reduce chlorofluorofluorocarbons.
We gotta reduce greenhouse gases.
We gotta reduce fossil fuel exhausts and all this.
But now from Nairobi, Kenya, air pollution may be just the thing to fight global warming, some scientists say.
Prominent scientists, among them a Nobel laureate, said a layer of pollution deliberately spewed into the atmosphere could act as a shade from the sun's rays and help cool a planet.
So for how many years have I been alive anti-pollution has been the name of the game.
We've got to reduce our pollutants and our emissions.
And now some scientist comes along and Nobel lawyer says, no, we need giant cannons to shoot pollution up there.
What we need is more SUVs, more burning of fossil fuels.
This seems to be the solution to global warming now.
Oh, and it gets even better from the Los Angeles Times today.
Forest fires may actually cool the climate.
Why?
They put a layer of pollution up there.
It's called smoke.
Climatologists have worried for years that forest fires would worsen global warming by added uh adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Now, comma, there is an indication that the fires could have a regional cooling effect.
Fires in northern forests do release greenhouse gases that contribute to climate warming, but they also cause changes in the forest canopy that result in more sunlight reflected back into space during spring and summer for many decades after the fire, said James Randerson.
Associate Professor of Earth System Science at the University of California at Irvine.
This cooling effect cancels the impact of the greenhouse gases, he said.
The net effect of fire is close to neutral when average globally and in northern regions may lead to slightly cooler temperatures.
So uh I have a solution here.
If if they're right, we just start clear cutting, avoid the fires altogether, and the greenhouse gases and cool a planet.
If you can keep up with this stuff, folks, more power to you.
This movement is a giant hoax and joke, and it gets even worse.
Get this.
This is this is from um uh Australia, the Herald Sun.
Al Gore flies into warm global warming to warn about global warming, and he's done it again.
Call it the Gore effect, the uncanny ability of the world's most famous global warming alarmist to cool any place he goes.
You see, this has happened to the former U.S. vice president and narrator of his own stupid movie.
It was first noticed in Boston, 2004.
Gore was due to give big speech in Boston on the imminent danger of the world frying.
Bingo, the city had its coldest temperatures in almost 50 years when he shows up.
Same story with his speech that year in New York, delivered in near record low temperatures.
Or look over at New Zealand, which has just finished hosting another gore tour.
It's bad enough that the place was just emerging from one of its wettest and coldest winters on record.
Now the local papers report an unusually cold October has left Southland dairy farmers struggling.
So he flies into Australia to play his movie, do a global warming tour, and it snows.
It's being called the gore effect.
This hapless guy can't get a break.
He just he's just hapless.
My God, if you would if you were combining IQs of Gore and Carey and John Edwards, you wouldn't reach that of a pencil eraser.
These guys are j it is just amazing.
And in the worst news of all, an international team of scientists reported yesterday that rising temperatures are steadily transforming the Arctic, warming millions of square miles of permafrost, promoting lush greenery on previously arid tundras, and steadily shrinking the annual sea ice.
Yet, the researchers also found new patterns of cooling ocean currents and prevailing winds that suggested that the Arctic, long considered a bellwether of global warming, may be reverting in some ways to more normal conditions not seen since the 70s.
In other words, the Arctic is resisting our efforts to destroy it.
The Arctic is saying, oh no, you're not, and it's getting cooler.
Imagine the Earth is talking back to us, folks.
The Arctic is saying, you aren't going to destroy it.
We got gay penguins to deal with up here.
Wait, they're in South America.
It's probably happening there too.
So after the first meaningless paragraph about it's getting green and the ice sheets melting and all this stuff, the next paragraph says the Arctic is resisting all of this.
So uh the planet is actually um actually talking to us.
Let's get this uh gay penguin story out of the way since I've teased it a picture book about two male penguins raising a baby penguin uh is getting a chilly reception among some parents who worry about the book's availability to children and the reluctance of screwed administrators to restrict access to it.
It's nothing new, Heather has two mommies.
I mean they're doing it with animals now, but but uh all this proves is these people are not gonna go away, folks.
You may beat them back in some area, you may beat them now, they're gonna pop up somewhere else.
It's a what is that substance?
You push down one place that pops up, uh uh there's a I can't remember what it.
What?
Glacamo, no, no, no, no.
Whackamo, I don't know.
This it's it's no matter what you do, you can't it it will resist, it just does the opposite of what you uh intended to do.
At any rate, the concerns are the latest involving and tango makes three, the illustrated churrin's book, based on a true story of two male penguins in New York City Central Park Zoo.
I've been there, I've seen those penguins.
Not these two, I get, but I've I've been there.
They adopted a fertilized egg and they raised the chick as their own.
Okay.
You know, I love this effort to humanize animals, but what is this?
They adopted an embryo.
They adopted a fertilized egg.
Where do they go to do this?
Um no, they they're in the Central Park Zoo.
They could not have gone to Missouri to do this.
Uh complaining about the book's homosexual undertones.
Some parents of Shiloh elementary school students believe the book available to be checked out of the school's library in um Shiloh, Illinois, just across the river from St. Louis.
Tackles topics their children aren't yet ready to handle.
So they request is move the book to the library's regular shelves and restrict it to a section for mature issues, perhaps even requiring parental parental permission before child can seek it out.
But for now, uh, and tango makes three will stay put, said uh Superintendent Jennifer Fill Yaw, the scruel district superintendent, uh through a panel that she appointed, uh the suggested, though a panel she appointed, suggested the book be moved and require parental permission to be checked out.
The DA's office said that uh moving it might be construed as censorship.
Phil Yaw considers the book adorable and age appropriate.
So the march of the homosexual adorable penguins will stay on the shelves, according to Jennifer Field.
This censorship business.
Can I can I tell you how absurd that is?
If there is a library that does not have every book ever published on its shelves, then it is engaging in censorship.
So to sit here and say that you move this book to a less trafficked area of the library is censorship is typical left-wing BS.
It's no different than this woman who said, unless you have raised a troubled child, you have no right to criticize me.
It's the same kind of thing.
Censorship?
Show me a library where every book ever published is available.
Back in the Okay, back to the phones.
Open Line Friday rolls on.
This is Keith in Reston, Virginia.
Hi, Keith.
Yeah.
Heartfelt megadididos uh flight level 410.
How are you?
Fine, sir.
Thanks very much.
Well, I'll tell you, um, you um you really you blessed us.
I brought my 80-year-old father and uh to uh see you last night at the Warner Theater in DC, thanks to WMEL and the Heritage Foundation.
And um, you know, we we began listening to you, I think back in 1992.
Yes.
And we don't miss you.
We we we hear you every single day, and we look forward to you.
And you know what?
We I I think that uh because of the elections, uh, we were all looking forward to hear your optimism last night, and I think we all heard it.
And and that and much, much more.
And you put on a show, my friend, and and um I mean you you put on more of a show last night than a lot of people do in concerts.
And um I just wanted to thank you for the bottom of my heart.
My dad will from the bottom of his heart, and I think everyone that was there, everyone thoroughly walked away um fulfilled with what with your performance.
You are right except for one person.
You know.
In the front row, you couldn't see this.
Only I could see this.
In the front row was a woman wearing red with her husband, and every time he left, she would jab him with her elbow.
And I didn't see this woman smile once, and that's when I stopped the show and referenced it, if you recall.
Well, that's okay.
She was a good one.
When I was talking about Hillary, when I was t oh, the one that really got her when I was when I was telling the story about how these guys in New York got on me for not telling getting all these Christians in the South to change their mind on abortion.
Yes.
When I got to the real reason for it, these guys in the Northeast are being nagged by their wives, and it's easier to get me to get twenty-four Christians to change their minds on abortion than it is for them to get their wives to stop nagging them.
That she just you know, it was ice.
Uh you just so I think he probably dragged his wife there.
Like I said, there's at least one, but but they uh no no, this is uh this is a middle-aged couple.
I would say they're in their seventies.
Um middle, no, they they were forties or fifties, but they but no, uh uh and there was a guy that was gonna fly up from Austin, too.
I don't know if he got there or not.
He called us last week, wanted to be worth it.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, it was a great time.
It was uh it was a it's a great theater too, and it was uh audience last night was was uh ex they were just alive, it was electric.
I was able to feed off of you guys.
I was I had as good a time as you did, and I'm glad that you called.
Yours is the first review I've gotten.
Rush, I we can't thank you enough.
Can't we can't thank you enough.
And I've got to ask one quick question.
Yes.
Um I did hear you once say, have a nice rest of the day.
Yeah.
And that was a while ago.
There's a controller with Jack Center that says that to every single one of us as we fly through their airspace.
Did you get that from her?
No, she probably got it from me.
Okay.
Okay, I was just curious because I'm not sure.
Are you a controller in the DC area?
No, I'm a corporate pilot.
And we fly up and we're based out of uh Washington and we we fly quite a bit down into southern Florida.
What do you fly?
What aircraft?
Actually, West Winds Astros and G two hundred galaxies.
Oh, okay, terrific.
Yes.
No, I tell you what, I would I uh we were we were coming um I was flying home from I think a golf tournament in California, and when it was time for us to transfer to Jacksonville Center, uh the controller thought he recognized the tail number and made a guess as to who it was, and the flight crew said, No, no, no, no, no, you're not even close.
And uh crew told him who it was, and a controller said, Oh, you gotta bring him up, I gotta say hello.
Now it was a guy, so I had to go up and I said hello to the controller at the Jacksonville Center.
But I uh it wasn't a woman.
Uh but look at I've said so much that so many people have appropriated, and I'm happy for the lingo to get around.
I'm not into hogging credit on this.
Uh have a nice rest of the day is pretty accurate thing when you're saying goodbye to people at three o'clock.
That's right.
I appreciate the call.
Thanks, thanks uh uh a whole lot out there, Keith.
It was a terrific night last night.
I had I just had a blast, and I've got to go.
Quick time out.
We'll be back and continue.
Have a nice rest of the break.
Be right back.
Okay, folks, trust me or look it up.
Male penguins always raise their young while the female goes off for food.
Just cause you got two male penguins doesn't mean they're gay.
Look it up.
See you on Monday.
