Time Text
Welcome back, friends.
I am, well, no one can fill in for Rush.
800-282-2882.
I don't know who put that icon label in there, but there's only one conservative icon besides Rush in the country by my likes.
We've been talking this whole show about service and integrity and honor and trust and duty and country.
And if there is anyone that represents that, epitomizes that more in public service today, it is one Richard B. Cheney.
He did his first interview on his book, In My Time, which is now coming out in paperback.
You can pre-order online today, In My Time.
And Rush teed him up by saying, you have devoted your life to the service of the United States of America.
There are very few people who have committed and acted in the ways that the entire Cheney family have.
And for all of you who have been calling in today, asking if we have continued contact with him and how is he doing, as you had been all through his recent health scare, which has turned out so beautifully, he is doing fine.
And your prayers were very helpful to him and his family.
And they can answer that for themselves because we are so pleased and proud and privileged to be joined by Vice President Dick Cheney and his gorgeous daughter, my sister, Liz Cheney.
Welcome, Cheney family.
Hello, Mary.
Wow, we're both on at once, Mary.
That's amazing.
Yeah, that is amazing.
I don't ordinarily do shows with Liz.
Who signed off on this?
Only books.
Only books.
Right.
Well, Mary, I want to drink it.
I swatched on these things, by the way.
To thank Rush and all those folks out there that joined in their prayers for my quick and speedy recovery.
It really means a lot when you go through that kind of process to know that there are people that certainly has been true in my case.
And for everybody there, I just wanted to say thanks for what they've made possible in my case.
The other thing, of course, obviously, is you couldn't do it without family.
And my wife, Lynn, and daughters Liz and Mary have been absolutely crucial to my recovery from this whole process.
And I couldn't have done it without them.
Well, you're a great man and a testament to not just integrity and strength and perseverance, but the treatment of heart disease in this country and the evidence of how we've progressed and your attention to it is that you're out and about working today.
So we know you're on the road.
We just wanted to say hello.
And I'm going to go talk to Liz, Mr. Vice President, so you can go about the business of continuing advocating for the great work that you always have done.
Thank you, Mr. Venus.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for joining us.
Goodbye, Dad.
Bye, Dad.
See you, Liz.
You know, Liz and I are like sisters, which someone wants it.
I think you say in your speech that that would make James Dick Cheney's son-in-law.
So we just can't be having that.
That sort of makes your head explode, doesn't it?
What were you saying?
So the Veep was just doing what that we should all be looking for?
He just did this.
It's going to be on again tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on C-SPAN.
It's an organization, Norm Manetta, the former Transportation Secretary, brings young students to Washington, I think, every year.
And I think it's called the Washington Institute.
And my dad was just there with Steve Scully at C-SPAN talking about his early years in Washington.
And I caught the last part of it, you know, basically giving advice to these students who are now in Washington themselves as interns about what his time was like when he first came here as an intern.
So it's very interesting, and it's a lot of stories that you know, Mary, but a lot of folks don't often hear.
So I recommend it to anybody who's able to watch tonight.
Liz is, well, not just the daughter of and the sister of, as a huge career, as you well know in her own right, is now on Fox, but all over the world on behalf of advocacy of democracy and progress in America.
In addition to all of her government service, she really, I don't, you're the collaborator of the book, which is, what did you do for the new paperback that's coming out, available now online in my time?
The paperback is out now, and it's basically the same as the book, The Hardcover, that was out before, although obviously less expensive and lighter.
And one of the questions that Steve Scully asked my dad today at the C-SPAN interview was about whether he's going to do any more books.
And he was a little coy about it, but I'm trying to encourage him.
I think he's thinking about it, and I think he has a lot to contribute.
So hopefully he'll sign on here to do something else.
Liz is being characteristically modest and humble, one of our great virtues that we've been talking about all show, because there would be no book had Liz not been not just encouraging, but pulling it together.
And it is a tome, to be sure.
It's a really important piece of history, beautifully written, Liz.
You guys did a great job.
And they wrote it all themselves.
Well, I mean, and you too, Mary.
You made this whole thing happen.
And Mary is very humble herself.
She is a conservative icon.
Oh, let's go.
Stop, stop.
Just stop.
Stop that right there.
Let's tell some stories about dogs.
Like, every time you call in the Cheney house, Liz, like, I got to hang out.
My dad's yelling the dogs are throwing up bananas.
Okay, so I was in a hotel the other night with my daughter.
We turned on the TV to find the movie made about your and James' life.
And I felt really excited I could tell them, yes, this is a movie about my friend Mary, so you're a rock star.
But anyway, the book was just fabulous to work on and wonderful to be able to do with my dad.
And, you know, it was a labor of love.
And it's a special story because there is so much history in it.
But it's also a book that just talks about his family and his life and the side of him that you know, Mary, that I know, but that sometimes doesn't come through in the mainstream media quite as accurately as we would all like.
So we really appreciated the chance to do that.
But it's always victorious, the notion that there's some connection between, this is what President Obama said at the outset when the vice president came out early and strong in response to prosecuting retroactively those who had pursued the policies in the war on terror or closing Gitmo or any of such things.
And the President Obama's response was he's the most popular person in the world going up against the most unpopular person as if Dick Cheney is unpopular and he won every one of those issues.
Now, you've been traveling around the country.
You have a great, you're great form, great voice on Fox, but you've also been giving speeches around the country a lot in Wyoming, your birthplace.
Your parents still have a home there.
Talk to us about the, how does the heartland, how do real people see what's going on in Washington today?
Obviously, Real people, everybody listening to this show, I'm sure, understands and is just scared, I think is probably the best way to put it.
It's hard to remember a time that we've lived through when we've had such a radical president, such a radical administration.
And the idea of giving this team and this president four more years really would mean a country that none of us recognize and a country that moves fundamentally away from a belief in the private sector as the engine of growth.
The president says it himself.
If you go back, Fred Barnes recently did a really good piece in the Weekly Standard where he actually went back and he looked at the language in the President's budgets and the language in the President's speeches.
He believes fundamentally in redistribution of the wealth.
And the mainstream media will say, oh, the conservatives are just being fearmongers when we say that, but it is absolutely true.
If you just look at something like raising the capital gains tax, when the president was asked about that in the 2008 debates, Charlie Gibbs said to him, then Senator Obama, history shows that when you raise the capital gains tax, it decreases revenue to the Treasury.
It has the opposite impact.
So why are you out there, and especially now in the middle of a recession, why are you out there saying we need to raise the capital gains tax?
And Senator Obama then said, well, it's because I would do it for fairness.
It's about fairness.
So this is a president who would take a step known to be harmful to the economy that would decrease the revenue that we're taking in simply because he believes it creates a system that he calls fair.
And it's hard to imagine something much more damaging.
But you mentioned I've been out in Wyoming a lot and talking to people there about the extent to which they feel, people particularly in the energy industry, that you're watching this government, the regulatory agencies of this government, are just marching in lockstep against the private sector.
And we know history tells us that private sector is the engine of growth, that we know that that's what we've got to empower, to create jobs and get us out of this economic downturn.
And the President, it's not like he's hiding what he's going to do.
He's been very clear about it, and it's very wrong and very dangerous.
We've been talking about principles this entire show and have had spectacular guests from Ed Gillespie to Paul Ryan to Marsha Blackburn.
But give people specific examples.
Take Wyoming because that is a growth state, like North Dakota is a growth state.
Louisiana is a growth state.
The specific application of Obama policies have retarded jobs and growth by sitting on our production, our oil production, one of our biggest industries, among other impediments imposed on the energy industry.
It's also, you know, Wyoming is one of the largest producers of Trona in the country, in the world.
And Trona is used to make glass.
You've got big companies out there like FMC, American companies that have mining operations going on.
And when they think about whether they are in a position to expand to create more jobs in a place like Wyoming, they've got to think about, well, what are the regulations that are being imposed here?
And it's things like the new greenhouse gas regulations, obviously new regulations that have to do with clean coal technology, royalties, the extent to which the federal government is going to get involved in increasing the royalties that have got to be paid to the federal government.
And Wyoming is interesting because if you look at sort of what's gone on over the last year, at just about the same time that Barack Obama in Washington was accomplishing what no American president has ever accomplished before, which was losing the perfect AAA credit rating of the United States, Wyoming became one of only a handful of states to gain a perfect AAA credit rating.
And it's because of strong and responsible fiscal policies.
So, you know, when people kind of say, gosh, it just can't be done, there are states all around this country where it is being done.
And it's done when you don't spend money you don't have.
You don't borrow on the backs of your children.
You don't believe that more government spending and bigger government programs is the solution to all of our problems.
But you take a path like the one laid out by Paul Ryan in the House Republican budget, where we say we've got to live within our means.
We've got to cut spending.
We've got to save our entitlement programs, but that means we've got to reform them.
These are all things that this president has shown himself unwilling to address, much less lead on.
If you want cause for optimism, friends, just look at the states where there is growth, where there is progress, where there is prosperity are in the states where these policies that Liz just detailed and we've talked about earlier are in progress.
It's not like we have to make this up.
It's not like we don't understand them.
It's the will to do it, and those that have the will in the states are getting it done.
Now, something too much more complicated, Liz.
I don't know what the answer is.
We used to be able to talk about this when you were in office.
Liz has done work all over the world and ran all the major programs, democracy programs in the Middle East when she was at the State Department, even though she had two kids while she was there.
But I'm going to ask her to stay on and talk about foreign policy if you can, Liz, and we come back because I really am in a complete confusion about what's going on over there.
So, friends, stay with us.
We're going to do foreign policy because this isn't just an economic, there are way many more issues that are going to impose themselves on our future besides our current economy.
We'll be back with Liz Cheney and you at 282-28, 800-282-2882.
I'm Mary Madeline, filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Stay with us.
We're back.
I'm Mary Madeline, filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
I'm here with Liz Cheney, who in addition to all of her other accomplishments is a mother of five.
So she had three girls and two boys, and I kept saying, give me one of your boys, you know, until one day when – I just can only give you cats.
I just can only give you cats.
Thank you.
Yeah, we're both animal lovers until I came over one day and one of the boys had put black paint on his feet and walked across her white carpet.
We want to talk foreign policy with Liz, who has a history.
But before we do, can you take one call, Liz?
Oh, sure, I'd be happy to.
This is Joe of Maryland.
The reason I want you to speak to this is because we've been talking about leadership and character, and there's anybody who's been closer to leadership and character than you.
I don't know who it is.
Go ahead, Joe.
Great, Marilyn, to talk with you and Ms. Cheney.
And my only point is that I think character is very and very important when you're looking at political leaders.
And if we look over the last 60 years, we had some people that had great potential to lead this country, like John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton.
But both of them had the character flaws.
Whereas conversely, when you look at Truman and Reagan and George Bush 41 and the potential of Romney now becoming a president, you find out that the way they treat their families and the way they live their lives is sort of an open book.
And my father used to tell me years ago, don't listen to the rhetoric.
Don't listen to what a man says, but how does he live his life?
How does he treat his family?
How does he treat the people that he lives and works with?
And that is the key.
And we've had, I think in the past, people who had great potential, but they all had that individual flaw, that character flaw.
And character is something that's 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You don't put it on and take it off like a suit.
It's something that's ingrained.
It's part of you.
And if it is, now you have the potential to be a great leader.
Well said, Joe, and that's why I loved working with Dick Cheney and love the whole Cheney family who, you know what character is when you do right and you do good when nobody's looking.
That's the epitome of integrity and character.
And y'all have it, Liz.
It's a privilege to know you.
Now, this is a neck-wrenching lurch to foreign policy, but given your positions as the Nearest Affairs principal deputy, I don't understand what's going on.
Do we know what's going on?
Is there a way to know what's going on in Egypt?
Let's just start with it.
Start anywhere you want, with Iran or Egypt or anywhere.
And I'm not just talking about objections to Obama foreign policy.
You're in touch with people on the ground.
You have friends on the ground.
What is really going on?
How can we even assess this to be able to assess Obama's policies?
Well, I think that, you know, first of all, I want to echo, you know, your compliments about what Joe had to say.
I think he's absolutely right.
And character is hugely important in the men and women we select to lead us.
And, you know, character also is important for us as a nation.
And I think that when you look at what's happening around the world today, one of the big problems we've got is that our allies, our friends, don't believe that they can trust us.
They don't think that our word as a nation means anything.
If you look at the treatment that the Israelis have gotten, for example, the extent to which at a time when Iran is clearly advancing towards, you know, in its development of a nuclear weapon and we should be standing with Israel, instead, the president, although he occasionally pays lip service to the relationship, at the end of the day, seems more worried about the Israelis using military action to stop Iran's nuclear program than he is about Iran's program.
And what you have going on right now in the Middle East, for example, is I think a shift that is greater.
You can call it an earthquake.
It's clearly a series of revolutions, but greater than anything we've seen in that region probably since the end of World War I when the modern Middle East was created.
And it's at precisely a moment like this when you've got so many unknowns, when you've got new governments coming to power, many of them are likely to include forces that do not share America's interests.
Liz, this is why we need people like Liz in advocacy, why we need Liz in public service.
We're going to make her run one of these days.
Thank you, Liz Cheney.
Thank you, Father.
We'll be right back with more of your calls on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Larry Hottie.
Hey, you can't trust a madman marching out to kill y'all babies with cigarettes and matches and a star president, the most mall man in America.
It's a war, Larry.
It's a war.
Bill Clinton against the invaders from Mars trying to kill you with secondhand smoke from your kindergarteners who then burn down your house playing with matches and lighters as Ken Starr flies around a spaceship.
That's it, Larry.
That's a plan to get us and our president.
Oh, we are back.
And if you listen to this show on RushLimbaugh.com, that is one of a bazillion, bazillion great pieces that I often have to check.
I really have to run down the hall and see if it's not my husband there.
So great.
Of all my things that I've done in my life, my favorite title is Serpent Bride.
So that leads me to Larry from Park Ridge, who speaks to the Serpent Bride title.
Go ahead, Larry.
Ask your question.
Hello?
Larry, go ahead.
Oh, yeah.
Mary, I've admired you for years, and I don't want to embarrass you, but I'd just like to understand how you can get along with a person like James Carville.
What do you talk about?
Is there any possibility you can influence his thinking?
Well, you know what?
I will say that my husband has the greatest virtue of a marriage and of a man.
He loves his wife.
He comes to his wife and his children with an open heart.
But as to whether or not he can be persuaded to have anything other than a closed mind, why don't we go to the source itself?
Hi, Serpent Head.
Hey, having your little right-wing.
I'm so happy.
You love when your wife is happy.
I do.
I do.
I bet you're having a good time, huh?
We're having a great time.
Have I ever persuaded you of anything in 20 years?
Yeah, a lot of things, just not much politically.
Really?
A lot.
What have I persuaded you of personally?
Huh?
What personal persuasion?
Oh, I know.
You know, you've gotten me really more involved in what's going on in your own.
You gotta me more involved in a lot of different things.
No.
Honey, do you get upset when Rush has these parities on you?
No.
It's complimentary.
Same thing as Saturday Night Live.
People, to me, it's always been kind of a compliment when people make fun of you.
I always figure, you know what?
I don't take myself seriously because no one else takes me seriously.
You know, I do want you to speak to something serious, though, that we do talk about a lot.
We do disagree a lot, but it strikes people as unfathomable that you and Rush could have the affection for each other that you do when you disagree on so little.
How happy we were when he married Catherine.
And y'all really, I mean, everybody, I don't want to sound like a squish because I'm not, and neither are you, and certainly Rush isn't.
But can you speak to the affection and the respect that goes between people who are engaged in politics?
Well, I think you just want something out.
Obviously, I have Rush would be the first person to say this.
We have profound, profound, deep ideological differences and probably pretty profound and deep sort of worldview.
But look, I'm glad that Keith's happy.
He's a very, you know, on a personal level, he's a very personal guy.
He's a, you know, he's a real sports fan.
I mean, he's got, he knows, got a texture and a sort of in-depth appreciation and knowledge for sports, which I do.
And, you know, he's certainly a creative guy.
I mean, look at how sort of successful he's been over the years.
I mean, you don't have to paper up your differences.
They're there.
They're apparent there.
They don't need to be brought out anymore than they are.
Oh, he sounds so coomba.
He's always been very good to my wife, which is some of the most important thing to me.
I care much more how people treat you than how they treat me.
Well, see, for all y'all who want to know how we do this, that's how we do it.
This man loves his wife, and this woman loves her husband.
But I'm going to make this all come together since you brought up sports and New Orleans, and I didn't know I was going to speak with you today.
So if you don't want to answer this, is there anything you want to say about what now?
Can you say anything?
All right, let's talk about Super Bowl 23.
Can I say anything what?
About the Saints.
Well, look, they just, first of all, I thought that, you know, that we had a pretty, we got a pretty hard find there, you know, sanctions, if you will, or whatever you want to call them.
But yeah, I think we're going to be pretty good this year.
I think one of the stories is that we've got to get Drew re-signed.
I think that Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton have had pretty good, you know, some pretty good signs.
I mean, we lost some people, obviously, but we'll be pretty good next year.
And I think Coach Payton has left.
You know, he's going to be gone for a year.
I think he's going to come back.
I think we're going to be better than people who would be wrong to discount us from being anything other than a pretty good football team.
And while we're both here, let us both be shameless hucksters, although you're so much better at it than I am.
We are the full disclosure, the co-chairman of the 2013 Super Bowl, which will be in New Orleans.
Tell everybody we want them to come and have great.
Sure, we want you to come to the Super Bowl.
We've got a big weekend coming up.
We've got Jazz Fest coming up.
We had the Final Four.
We just had this huge Navy Week thing here, which I didn't realize how many people that brought in the city.
We had the tall ships, and it's too bad we had to miss the Blue Angels because of that front that moved through that everybody got a piece of.
But we've got the women's Final Four coming to New Orleans next year.
So we've got all kinds of stuff happening here.
Every weekend, it's something different that's going on.
So we're very, very excited about that.
And we're very excited that the Hornets now got vocal ownership, Mr. Benson, who owns the Saints as M.
So things are looking up here.
Things are looking up.
And all you good conservative top radio listeners who like sports or just like to have a good time, we welcome you in New Orleans.
We'd love to have you.
Come on down.
Good food, good drink.
You can make fun of.
Oh, looks nerdly.
Everybody wants to come.
Okay, before you sign off, because it's bad weather here, and I'm very scared.
How are my girls doing?
Everybody else?
I just saw Maddie in that school today, so she and Caroline went to get some lunch and just saw a walk.
In fact, I had to run up here and miss the phone as I was running up the stairs and saw her.
And I took Emerson to school this morning, and she was pretty fired up for her.
She was good.
Everybody was fine.
You're a good father.
You're a good husband.
You're a good man, honey.
I'll see you tonight.
Okay, I'm never going to get her.
I've been such a squish.
I've been so nice today.
They're laughing at me.
I promise.
I promise when we come back.
I won't be so kumbaya.
Okay, but that's the answer to everybody who's been wanting to know what do I see in him.
Love is blind and deaf, but it has a big heart.
I'm Mary Madeline.
You're listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Okay, folks, covered a lot of ground today, and there's one final thing I want to get to, and we'll have time to have a few more calls.
This is a very important concept.
I couldn't be happier to be able to tell you about a new book by Senator Tom Coburn.
He doesn't have a lot of time.
We're delighted he could join us.
The new book is The Debt Bomb.
And we've been talking about this the whole show.
You know, the senator from his exposure of all the waste and fraud and the policy frauds, the debacle of the payroll tax.
But this new book, The Debt Bomb, speaks directly to what we know is the centrality of what we need to do in this campaign, and that's get control over our debt.
And last week, and I want the senator, thank you for joining us.
Answer this one question because I know your time is limited.
The Secretary of Treasury said that Tim Geithner, there's no evidence, quote unquote, that our debt is hurting our economy.
If you look at the debt bomb, you don't have to look at the debt bomb, you can know it, but you chronicle it in there.
Can you please quantify for us, senators?
Yeah, it's hurting our growth right now by about 33%, Mary.
That's Rogoff and Reinhardt and hundreds of other economists.
When your debt is above or approaching, your gross debt approaches 90%.
All the economic theory and the economic retrospect looks at economic growth, say it cuts it at least 1%.
Well, we're growing at 2.5%.
You add a percent onto that.
We'd be growing at 3.5%.
That's a million jobs a year.
That's $50 billion in additional revenue to the federal government.
So, you know, this is the same Secretary of the Treasury that said we weren't going to get downgraded, and three weeks later we were downgraded.
So this problem is pressing.
It's more urgent than the politicians in Washington want to admit, and it's also more dangerous for the future of our country than they want to admit.
And we should note that the dead bomb spares nobody.
There's no sacred cause there.
You take on Republicans and Democrats alike for their inattention to this problem.
Well, the potential to totally destroy the middle class if Congress and the members of both parties don't stand up and speak to the American people as adults and say, here are our problems.
There's not one problem in front of us we can't solve.
But delaying the solutions is a prescription for death for us as far as our freedom and our prosperity.
And we can't wait any longer.
And the whole purpose behind the book is to get Americans to really know what's going on and see what the problems are and see what the solutions are.
One of your key solutions, Senator, is the cessation of careerism, which is another word, I guess, for being an advocate of term limits, which you yourself have subjected your career to.
You're a doctor, but you've been in Congress.
You're term limited.
You're term limiting yourself.
I'm in my last term in the Senate.
That's correct.
Look, the problem is there are a lot of great people in Washington, but they fall to the human condition of doing what's best for their political career instead of what's best for the country.
And sometimes what's best for the country isn't good for your career.
And statesmen make those decisions.
And unfortunately, we have very few statesmen in Washington.
They'd rather continue to have the position of power and authority than fix what's wrong with our country.
So if you could tick through the top practical besides voting, besides volunteer career-ending jobs, I get what you're saying, term limits, which we don't seem to pass.
What other practical steps can citizens take to accelerate our addressing our debt bomb?
Well, number one is put people up in Washington that actually have real-world experience.
You know, the vast majority of the Senate has no experience outside of elective public office.
I'm talking none.
They're wonderful people, good educations, but no common sense, no real-world experience, and they lack that experience with which to make critical judgments.
And so I'd say elect people who actually have lived life, whether it's a postman or a school teacher or a professor or people who have actually been in the real world.
We have very few of those here.
Wow.
Senator Coleman, you've just wrapped up this entire show.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day.
Buy this book, The Debt Bomb.
Senator Tom Coburn, thank you for joining us.
Let me just say what he just said.
Did you hear what he just said?
This is every single thing we've been talking about today.
Real life experiences, real leadership.
Who has had real life?
You can see the evidence at the top of the ticket.
When Rush talked about what kind of experience is a community organizer, how is that going to impact policy?
Now you know.
Think about that when you think about Mitt Romney coming into the fall.
Let's take a call about this general election.
He has said everything we've been saying this entire show is wrapped up into that.
Let's go to you want to go to Phoenix?
Let's go to Phoenix.
Let's go to the South.
We haven't been to the South yet.
Bill, how you doing?
Really good.
Can you hear me?
I can indeed.
Hey, it's great to talk to you, Mary.
I just got a real quick question.
I know you're running out of time, but this war on women and stuff, just to put it in a nutshell, my wife's a stay-at-home mom.
I travel around the country with my work.
I take care of racehorses.
So I travel from track to track.
And I send her the money, and she pays the mortgage.
She buys the grocery.
She does the coupons.
Why, her being a stay-at-home mom and doing this, wouldn't she know the economy more than me?
Yes, Bill.
See, this is.
She really does.
Okay, this is where we started this show.
The notion that there's any difference between women and men on this war and women and all that.
Of course, women are the ones who have to prosecute, if you will, on this economy.
Bill is exactly right.
The debt that Senator Colburn maligns that we all need to face up to is experienced on a daily basis by women.
They know what that means.
They know today's debt is tomorrow's taxation on their families, on their children, on their futures.
That is so well put.
And by the way, I wish I could be a stay-at-home mom.
I aspire to be a stay-at-home mom.
My kids didn't want me to be a stay-at-home mom.
But unlike Bill's wife, I did not have the guts to pay the bills because it's just too out of control.
I don't look at my taxes.
I don't look at my gas tank.
It would just be too depressing.
And I like to light candles.
I don't like to curse the darkness.
We're lighting candles here at the Rush Limbaugh Show.
We are going to come back with your calls.
800-282-2882.
Stay with us.
This is the fastest three hours, the most fun.
You know, don't you, wasn't that so refreshing?
Not as good or fun as Rush is, of course, but doesn't it give you cause for optimism, a cause for hope?
Listen, those many, many public servants we had on today, past and present, obviously served with integrity and have real solutions.
And as you listen to your family of Rush, your fellow callers across the country, everybody made sense.
You are a great people.
You are a virtuous people.
You are a loyal people.
You are wonderful people.
Thank you.
Thank you for calling in.
Thank you for putting up with James, which is nerdling made me put up.
Just kidding.
Thank you, people on the other side of the window.
Listen, y'all, have a come to New Orleans, of course, but have a wonderful week.
Prepare for the return of L. Rushbo.
He's back tomorrow.
