Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Folks, there's a bear.
There is a bear stuck way high up in a tree in New Jersey.
I kid you not, I'm looking at it right now.
There's a rescue effort underway.
They got rescue workers way up there in a crow's nest type of affair trying to free a giant bear.
I don't know what in the world is supporting that bear.
Now, naturally, you wonder, how the hell did they get up there?
Well, it climbed.
And I was made aware of this by an email.
Rush, you ought to turn on the TV.
There's a bear, a big bear in a tree in New Jersey, and workers are trying to rescue it.
And the emailer said, Rush, do you think the bear, if successfully rescued, will appreciate it and no longer ever again attack human beings?
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's Open Line Friday.
What a thing to wonder, but will the bear appreciate being rescued?
The real question, will the bear kill its rescuers?
They're going to have to dope it up.
I'm going to have to put it to sleep, but not too much.
I don't want it falling out.
Anyway, greetings, my friends.
Great to have you here.
This is the EIB Network, the Limbo Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Open Line Friday.
When we get to the phones, Open Line Friday's special day because it's the one day of the week where you can talk about whatever you want to talk about.
Hardly any restrictions exist.
But today, as we've been telling you all week, is a special edition of Open Line Friday.
Today marks the 21st year of our Leukemia Lymphoma Curathon.
This is a one-day event where this radio program goes to you, this audience, to help cure the blood cancers.
This is our 21st effort.
This is our third decade.
Now we're moving into our third decade of doing this.
And every year, if I may talk about you for a moment, every year you have donated and contributed more than the previous year, even last year.
Last year, we all started the curathon thinking we'll be lucky to get anything with the economy being what it was.
And you had everybody in tears starting the first half hour of last year's program because we were on a pace that if it held up was going to eclipse the previous year, even in the midst of economic circumstances like that.
I tell people about this all the time.
We do this one day a year, but we don't even go wall to wall with it.
We have a three-hour program here, and I maybe, all told, 45 minutes of the three hours is devoted to fundraising for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society of America, the Curathon.
The amount of money that's raised is unbelievable.
45 minutes, one year.
Now, we're beginning our third decade of this.
And every year you have come through again and again.
You have surpassed the previous year with increased generosity.
I mean, we've had recessions, laws, 9-11, other world disasters, and you have never failed to come through for this great cause.
I mean, it's just a great example of why you are the best radio audience in the world.
You have exhibited steady support in this effort, and it's been matched in dramatic ways by the medical progress made against these killer diseases.
You know, in the time we've been doing this at 21 years, some of the greatest medical advances have taken place on your watch.
And this year is no exception.
And I'm going to be sharing some of those with you intermittently during the program.
Let me give you the phone number, by the way.
You can always donate online at rushlimbaugh.com.
That's the easiest way to do this.
But we also have a toll-free number.
It's 877-379-8888.
And that number hasn't changed from year to year.
877-379-8888 or at rushlimbaugh.com.
Now, let's define what we're up against here.
Imagine that you are in the doctor's office and you hear the words leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, blood cancer.
Now, these are not words that anybody wants to hear, especially if it's your children.
But during the three hours of this program today, 45 people will hear those words.
It adds up to 130,000, 137,000 people a year who are told they have one of the blood cancers.
In this same three hours, 18 people will die from them.
That adds up to more than 54,000 deaths a year.
Now, some of you might say, you're right, Rush, but for me, my wife has been touched by a different cancer.
There's all kinds of cancers, Rush.
Myself, my family, friend, totally understandable.
Everybody cannot be generous to every cause.
And there are countless medical killers out there.
But one of the things that I learned in the process of getting to know the people at the Leukemia Lymphoma Curathon Society and the people that have educated me about this, one thing you've learned is the advances that are made possible in the effort to cure leukemia and lymphoma go way beyond just treating the blood cancers.
Since 2039, anti-cancer drugs have been approved by the FDA, and half of them were blood cancer drugs.
Five of those now treat non-blood cancers.
So the research dollars donated here and throughout the year elsewhere fund medical research into drugs that treat other cancers as well as the blood cancers.
14, for example, 14 of these blood cancer therapies are being tested on solid tumor cancers, including four for breast cancer.
Now, the point here is that when you donate to leukemia and lymphoma, your support goes to successful applications that no one could have imagined 21 years ago.
Really is stunning to have done this 20 years to chronicle all of the improvements that have taken place, to be made aware of them, and to know that it's largely due to you.
I mean, that is a tingle up the leg kind of stuff.
Now, here's specifically what we are fighting: leukemia.
That's cancer of the bone marrow and blood.
It causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under 20.
One-third of cancer deaths for children are from leukemia, but it kills 10 times as many adults.
Lymphoma is cancer of the lymph system.
Last year, 43,000 people were diagnosed.
260,000 people are at present battling lymphoma in the United States.
Hodgkin's lymphoma currently affects 154,000 people.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma affects about half a million people in this country.
Myeloma, that's cancer of the plasma cells.
70,000 people today are suffering from it.
Now these numbers are big, they're daunting, but you have to know that the progress that's been made against them in no small part comes from your donations.
I mentioned before a big part of the increased survival rate has taken place just in the last 20 to 30 years.
It used to be, if I may speak bluntly, an automatic death sentence, it isn't any longer.
Survival rates have expanded anywhere from five years up to 10 to 15.
Leukemia patients in the late 70s, for example, had a five-year survival rate of 36%.
Today it's 55% and climbing.
Children with the most common form of leukemia are up to a long-term survival rate now of 89%.
So there are results.
Demonstrable success is taking place.
And as I say, it's because of you.
Hodgkin's lymphoma, long-term survival rates there, same time went up from 40 to 89%.
And non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survival rate from 48 to 69%.
Myeloma, that's a really tough cancer.
Five-year survival rate of 13% in the 60s.
And it's almost tripled, 39% now.
That's a tough one.
Now, the great part of this effort, why your donations to the leukemia and lymphoma society are so important, is because blood cancer drugs and treatments and therapies funded by the society are providing hope and survival for other cancers and diseases.
You remember the drug Glevec.
I remember heralding the development of Gleevec during one of our curathons in the past 20 years.
The initial focus of Gleevec was on a really tough form of leukemia called chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Survival rates were less than 50%.
If diagnosed early, survival rate's now 95% Glevec.
But it doesn't stop there.
Gleevec is also approved to treat a rare form of stomach cancer with the acronym GIST, G-I-S-T.
The drug is currently being tested for other kinds of malignancies as well.
Glevec also is showing potential to compound Alzheimer's.
What Gleevec does, if I may get just a bit scientific, it inhibits a protein that is integral to brain-damaging plaque formations in Alzheimer's.
Removing that protein keeps plaque from developing.
It so far has worked in mice, and a chemical modification is being pursued to make it study safe and possible for humans.
Could be a breakthrough.
There are 26 million patients.
In just the last couple of years, we've seen the approval of a drug called Velcade.
That's a drug whose development was funded by the society to treat myeloma.
Survival rates used to be less than three years.
But in the short history of Velcade, the survival rate is now up to 10 years.
And with a better quality of life, all because of your generous support.
Velcade's now on trial in other forms of cancers as well.
So the blood cancer therapies, folks, are pioneering treatments for other cancers.
Using blood instead of invasive and risky procedures that aren't feasible for some solid tumors, researchers are able to study primary cancer cells from patients rather than relying on cell lines or animal models, which provides a better chance of producing effective diagnostic therapeutic strategies.
And in 21 years, we've witnessed all this.
In 21 years, we have seen all of this happen.
And I remember there's a lesson to be learned in this.
Always ask for what you want.
Don't assume somebody knows what you want.
The short version of how we got started with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society was in 1988 when this program began.
It was a standalone program.
We had affiliates.
We still do.
And at that time, stations owned by ABC, I think there were seven of them in the program, set aside programming on an entire day for the Radiothon.
Stations owned by ABC in New York, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles.
Now, my program was just beginning, and they didn't come to me and ask me to devote the whole program to it because we were on a whole bunch of stations other than ABC stations.
But they did say, if we gave you a special 800 number, would you give it out a couple times and expose your audience to what we're doing?
And WABC in New York, which was our flagship, would be able to continue to carry your program.
Mine was the only one they didn't broom to go wall to wall.
I said, sure, I would be happy to.
And that has to be 88 or 89 when this happened, shortly after we began.
And it wasn't long after that that the radiothon evolved to become almost an exclusive existence here on the EIB network.
And it's been a godsend for so many people.
It has been a great opportunity for all of us here at the EIB network to be involved.
We've gotten to know the people who work at the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
Every one of them has been touched personally by one of these diseases, either themselves or their family.
What I call the pass-through, your donation pass-through amount is amazing.
There's not a lot of overhead here like there are in some charities.
So we're off and running.
And, you know, I never, I'm not like one of these TV telethon hosts that says I'm donating my time.
Now, you should appreciate that.
I never ask people to do what I don't do.
I mean, I'm going to sit here and ask you to contribute financially to this if I don't.
So I do.
And I always get nervous every year by announcing how much.
And there's snurdly in there.
No, no, no, don't get nervous.
Don't get, and it's, it's, parents always said, you know, it's, it's, uh, there's no class to do that kind of thing.
But other people, no, no, no, it'll help spur things along.
So I'll think about it.
Um, I got to go to a break here pretty soon, but we do have premiums again as every year.
$75 donation will get you a commemorative Rush Limbaugh t-shirt, one size fits all.
Has a three-color EIB logo specially made for this occasion.
$100 donation or more.
That'll qualify you for the same commemorative t-shirt along with a golf hat.
And then a donation of $350 or more.
Brings a custom-sized El Rushbo golf shirt and hat.
The shirt this year is a rusty orange with a matching EIB logo on the breast.
My signature's on the sleeve.
The women think that very tasteful, by the way, the signature on the sleeve rather than prominently there on the breast, which I can understand.
It's 100% polyester micro-knit construction, ultra-cool technology.
Keeps you dry even on the hottest days.
And you can order that one in sizes: small, medium, large, extra-large, and double X. They're all available.
You can see them at rushlimbaugh.com when you log on to donate.
And of course, the phone number is 877-379-8888.
We had a lot to do on the program today, starting our third decade here, trying to cure the blood cancers.
Donald Trump will be here at the top of the next hour.
Plus, am I going to?
No, I'm not going to hit Trump up for a donation.
No, I'm not going to hit Trump up.
Oh, what are you?
Oh, look, they're about to get the bear out of there.
I hope the bear appreciates human beings after this and never ever wants a text one.
No, I'm not going to hit Trump up.
What do you think?
No way.
We're going to talk about Trump's presidential aspirations.
I've got some questions for him based on things I've heard him say since the last time he was here.
So a lot to do here today, folks.
Great mood.
We're all in it.
Join us at rushlimbaugh.com to cure the blood cancers, and we will be right back.
Don't go away.
Curing the blood cancers on Open Line Friday, starting our third decade of the Leukemia Lymphoma Society Curathon, our 21st year, 877-379-8888 is the phone number if you want to go that way.
Or rushlimbaugh.com, phone line open through the end of the program today, the website as well.
The website, probably the most efficient way to donate.
Plus, you can see the premiums, various gifts that we're making available for certain levels of donations.
Okay, I spoke with Catherine about this.
We have a philosophy when it comes to charitable donations, particularly this one.
And that is we hope to raise even more money every year than the previous year.
And we have.
And while, I mean, folks, you need to know that people give me credit for this, and it's really due to you.
I mean, I could sit here and I could beg and I could implore and I can try to inspire and I can try to motivate and all that.
But at the end of the process here, it's you who log on and donate.
It's you who pick up the phone and call.
And this audience is so massive.
Our audience rate growth is through the roof, too.
I always say every year, if everybody in the audience just gave a dollar, why we would set charitable donation records around the world if everybody just gave a dollar.
Now, we really do illustrate here the volume concept.
It doesn't take a lot as long as a lot of individuals are involved.
And I suspect during the course of the program, I'll have several people call or email with challenges and this kind of thing.
But here's what I'm going to do.
As I say, I always try to get this ball rolling and start not ask you to do things that I wouldn't do, even when it comes to donating money.
And I always try to get a little bit more than I did the previous year.
So we're going to start.
Catherine and I will start with $500,000.
That will be our donation this year to get things started here.
And then we'll start adding up from that when I'm sure a half hour into this.
We may already be at that level anyway from the grand total so far from all of you in the audience.
So again, the phone number, if you want to donate, is 877-379-8888.
Or just go to rushlimbaugh.com right at the top of the webpage there.
It'll tell you everything you need to know about how to donate to the cur-a-thon, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America.
Back right after this.
And we're back, Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh.
We'll get to your phone calls earlier than we usually do, even on Open Line Friday.
Get to them coming up in this hour because Donald Trump will be here in about a half hour.
We'll start the top of the next hour with Mr. Trump, who more and more people beginning to believe he's serious about this, is actually going to do it.
Actually going to run for president.
You know, it's interesting about Obama.
We really learn.
Now, those of you who need to learn, let me preface this by saying, I don't need Obama being fooled into thinking nobody's listening to him when he speaks to find out what he really believes.
I know Obama like every square inch of my glorious naked body because I understand Democrats.
I understand liberals.
And I'm not afraid to tell people that.
But Obama thought he was having a private chat with campaign donors last night in Chicago.
And he offered the most revealing behind-the-scenes account to date of his budget negotiations with Republican leaders last week.
And it's always amazing when he thinks nobody's listening is when he opens up.
That's when we got the bitter clinger comment during the campaign of 2008 when he was out in San Francisco.
CBS Radio News White House corresponded Mark Knoller listened into an audio feed of Obama's conversation with donors after other reporters traveling with the president had left the room.
They thought the event was over.
Sometimes reporters are ushered out during a fundraiser, but somehow the mic was left open and the phone lines back to White House were still operative.
The only time we get to hear anything even approximating what Obama really thinks is when he thinks nobody will find out.
In these candid remarks, Obama complains of Republican efforts to attach measures to the budget bill, which would have effectively killed parts of his hard-won health care reform program.
Here's what he said.
Last night in Chicago, closed-door campaign fundraiser, this is a portion of what he said when he didn't think anybody would hear it.
You want to repeal health care?
Go at it.
We'll have that debate.
You're not going to be able to do that by nickel and dime and me in the budget.
You think we're stupid?
We're happy to have the debate.
We'll have the debate on the floor of the Senate or the floor of the House.
Put it in a separate book.
We'll call it up.
And if you think you can overturn my veto, try it.
But don't try to sneak this through.
Now, does he sound confident to you?
You know, the question has been posited vis-a-vis the budget battle with Boehner and the Republicans this past week.
Was Obama beaten or does he sound pretty confident there?
Go ahead.
You want to have a debate?
I'd be glad to have a debate with him, but don't try to sneak anything in on me.
Nobody was trying to sneak anything.
The only thing I can think of he might be talking about was there was an effort to defund the $105 billion in the health care bill that implements it.
I don't know what we were sneaking around trying to stop.
Everybody knows we're trying to defund it.
Everybody knows we said we were trying to defund it.
But he says he wants the debate.
Just don't try to sneak it.
He then went on and said, don't you dare try to put your agenda in that budget.
You're not going to fool me there.
Don't put your agenda in the budget.
What is his agenda?
His whole agenda is in every piece of legislation somebody else writes that he ends up supporting.
Here's a little more of what he said.
Let me tell you, I'm Greyer and I'm a little dinged up.
I know there are times where some of you have felt frustrated because we've had to compromise with the Republicans on some issues.
There have been times people are frustrated because we didn't get everything done in the first two years.
There have been times where I felt the same way.
So the way we look at it, he practically had a free ride here.
Nobody except us really going after him.
And he still worries about that heat.
Imagine if the Republicans weren't afraid of him.
Can you imagine if this guy got the same degree of criticism or the same degree of vetting or the same degree of suspicion that reporters grant everybody else with this kind of power?
He might have cracked.
He simply can't deal with it.
He doesn't expect that he should get it.
He thinks he's above it.
So frustrated, we've had to compromise with the Republicans on some issues.
There have been times, frustrated we didn't get everything done in the first two years, audiences murmuring and so forth.
So there comes this vaunted notion of compromise once again.
There's Obama basically telling you that he doesn't like it either.
Yet everybody on the left is telling us compromise is how we're going to define greatness going forward.
Compromise is how we are going to make sure that we save our nation.
Everybody working together.
Sounds like he doesn't like it either.
And he hasn't been compromising much.
He didn't have to start compromising until after the November elections, folks.
And then he wasn't so much compromised as trying to fool people.
But look at what he did compromise on.
That's the Bush tax cuts.
Well, that was what, for four months, and now he's back on the warpath to get rid of those and start raising everybody's taxes now.
Imagine if Obama had gotten just a smidge anywhere near the negative press that Sarah Palin's gotten.
He'd be in a rubber room.
He would be in a padded cell.
And whatever compromise he made, which is the Bush tax cuts, he's now reneging on those.
But he doesn't sound dinged up to me.
He doesn't sound like he's just been to the Met with the Republicans and barely came out alive.
Doesn't sound that way at all.
This morning on Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos talked to Obama, said, why should Americans re-elect you?
We have gone through two and a half of the most challenging years that we've seen since the Great Depression.
Not only have we been able to stabilize the financial system and get the economy to grow again, not only have we now produced over 1.8 million jobs just in the last year, but what we've also been able to do is to make this society a little fairer, more competitive.
We still have enormous challenges.
I think I'm equipped to help us finish the job.
The country's falling apart.
He hadn't created a million point eight jobs.
You know, there's a story today.
Gasoline prices are continuing to rise.
And I swear, the story says as expected.
Somewhere in it, involving the price increase, the increasing price of gasoline to pump, it's expected.
Oh, okay.
It's expected now.
It's no big deal.
Gasoline price going up, fine.
Everybody knows coming.
It's not a problem.
Nothing to look at here.
And no reason to be mad.
When it was inching toward $4 a gallon, all civilization was going to fall apart.
That dastardly evil Bush, and he was in bed with the oil guys, and Bush was getting rich personally, and Bush didn't care how much it cost you.
And there were story after story after story about the economic consequences of a rising energy price, a gasoline price like they would shut down economic activity, shut down the travel business, shut down the leisure industry.
Oh my gosh, what's ahead for this?
It was horrible.
And it was all Bush now, as we tick up toward $5 a gallon?
Hey, that's cool.
It's expected.
His re-elect numbers are down.
I don't care what poll you look at.
And any people are talking about Obama in a re-election context are having to act.
The numbers are not good.
Trump's leading the pack.
Trump beats him in a number of polls, in addition to beating some of these Republican nominees.
There's a reason.
People ask me all the time why people like Trump so much.
Trump's not new.
People know Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is taking it to Obama and the Democrats the way people wish other elected Republicans would take it to the Democrats.
This is serious.
This is not beanbag.
We're not talking about lackadaisical, haphazard policy things that might trouble us for a while.
We're talking about things that, if they are not reversed, are going to totally alter the structure of this country in a way that will limit the chances for prosperity and the opportunity for economic liberty for people's children and grandchildren.
It's very serious.
This is something about which people should be really mad.
The engine of creativity, the engine of prosperity, is under assault.
People should be mad about that.
Trump sounds mad about it.
People respond to that.
People want it taken to the people they think are responsible for this economic downturn.
Don't want to compromise with them.
It's that simple.
So, as you can hear, a lot to do today.
One of the great things about this day for me as we begin our third year here with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society Curathon is that we do the radio program as well.
We're able to do the radio program plus combine it with our curathon.
That doesn't happen too many other places in the media.
They have to broom everything they're doing and devote it.
You all are so responsive and you are so generous that we are able to combine the two into one radio program each year and still set records.
Again, the number to cure blood cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, and all the related blood cancers.
The phone number is 877-37948, 877-379-8888 or rushlimbaud.com.
Lots of freebies to well, not freebies, but premiums.
Given certain levels of contribution that you might make, all of it, you can donate.
And by the way, your information is totally secure.
You're not going to need lifelock after you donate to leukemia lymphoma.
Nobody is going to find out who you are.
Your information is going to be sold.
It's secure.
Don't sweat it.
Rushlimbaud.com answers every question.
That's where you can participate with us today in our 21st annual Leukemia Lymphoma Society Curathon.
Yeah, Obama said, what do they think we're stupid?
Asking of the Republicans.
They think we're stupid, meaning they think that we're going to fall for them trying to sneak someone by us.
And then Obama goes on to say he created 1.8 million jobs.
Yeah, I think you stupid may not be the word, but it certainly could be asked of you.
Do you think we're stupid, Mr. President?
I don't think there's any question.
Ladies and gentlemen, a lot of cancers out there.
There's breast cancer, there's prostate cancer, any number of them.
We deal with the blood cancers one day a year here at the EIB network.
Leukemia and lymphoma.
Leukemia, cancer, the bone marrow, and the blood.
That causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under 20.
One-third of cancer deaths for children are from leukemia, and the disease kills 10 times as many adults.
Lymphoma, cancer of the lymph system, 43,000 people diagnosed.
As we speak, 260,000 people are battling it.
Hodgkin's lymphoma, that affects 154,000 people today.
In our country, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma affects almost half a million people.
A lot of cancers out there.
Some cancers are more politically correct than others, as you know.
We deal with the blood cancers.
The research into curing the blood cancers finds its way into treatment for many of the other cancers, as I detailed so artfully and so well in the first half hour of the program.
All that's made possible by you.
It's your money.
Your money counts.
Your dollars actually do count.
The success is quantifiable.
We're able to report advances every year in this, our 21st year.
Myeloma, cancer of the plasma cells, 70,000 people today have it.
And these are daunting numbers.
But the progress that's been made against them is because of your donations to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
A big part of the increased survival rates taken place in just the last 20 or 30 years.
It's not a coincidence that we have been involved for 21 years.
And that makes you involved.
Leukemia patients in the late 70s, for example, just 30 years ago, had a five-year survival rate of 36%.
Means 36% of those diagnosed might survive five years.
Today, that 36% is 55%.
Children with the most common form of leukemia are up now to a long-term survival rate of 89%.
Just stunning success, stunning advancements are taking place.
And it's thrilled to be able to tell you about them each year that we get together.
To the Fonstellandesburg, Pennsylvania.
Hi, Kevin.
Great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Welcome.
Hi, Rush.
I wanted to thank you and your audience for all they've done for the last 20, what, 21 years?
21 years.
Yep.
My daughter, my three-year-old daughter, took what is hopefully her last dose of chemo two weeks ago today.
Wow, congratulations.
Well, I hope you're right.
Yes, so do we.
It's been a long road for her and, well, for everybody, but it's a scary place to be.
And what you guys have done has really improved as you've been saying.
What was she diagnosed with?
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ALL, and they told us had...
What were her symptoms?
How did you know something was wrong?
Well, she started off with just what we thought was a leg injury.
She started limping and multiple trips to the doctor, and then she stopped walking because of the pain in her legs.
And then when she started getting the fevers without any other symptoms, they sent her for blood work.
How long did all this take?
When the first time you noticed the limp until you took her to the doctor's home?
I'd say within about a month, month and a half at the most.
I can't, and I don't have kids, but I know I can't imagine what it's like to be there.
You've got a limp, you've got pain.
Were you expecting to hear leukemia when you took her in?
No.
Not until the day that we took her for the blood work.
We noticed just from, when she got the x-rays, we noticed a little bruise on her back just from laying on the x-ray table.
And I had in the back of my mind a suspicion at that moment, and it was later that day we got the call from the doctor with the blood test results to rush her to the ER, and he let us know then that we're looking at likely leukemia.
So you've last chemo treatment has just happened.
Yes, two weeks ago today, April 1st.
Prognosis is good then?
Yeah, yeah, it is.
They thought she may have relapsed in her central nervous system back just a couple weeks before Christmas, and so they've been doing spinal taps monthly to watch, but it's been clean since.
I got 30 seconds.
Have you told her?
Does she know what's happened to her?
She's three years old.
No, she doesn't understand when it happened.
She was 18 months old when it started, so she doesn't really understand it.
Her older brother has an idea, but she doesn't.
She just knows she has to go to the doctor all the time.
Well, we're praying for you.
Thanks for the call, and God bless.
Thank you, Rush.
You bet.
It's things like that.
Circumstances like that.
People you never meet, people you'll never know, or in many cases, people you do know, or your own family.
So here we are, curing leukemia, lymphoma, 21st year today.
EIB Network, 877-379-8888 is the number, or rushlinbaugh.com.
You know, when you know somebody or you listen to somebody who's faced one of these blood cancers talk about it, you'll never think of these numbers as just statistics again.
Our last caller, what would have happened to his daughter 21 years ago, I wonder?
What would have been her diagnosis or her prognosis 21 years ago?
Donald Trump's coming up on the other side of your local news, whatever else they do there.
