Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience exp what?
No, no.
Look, I'm just saying.
There's much more to this than meets the eye when it comes to Trump and Boeing.
He's just not out there tweeting for the hell of it.
If you put it all together, folks, it makes perfect sense.
Trump is not happy with the things that have been going on in this country, domestically, foreign policy.
He doesn't like the Iranian nuke deal.
He doesn't like any of Obama's trade deals.
He doesn't like much of our foreign policy.
And Boeing is in the thick of it.
Boeing is right smack dab in the middle of many things.
And so this tweet that Trump has put out there today is not just an idle Trump's got to say something he's bored kind of thing.
There's obviously something very meaningful behind it.
I tried to explain the details of the previous hour.
Anyway, welcome back, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Telephone number if you want to join us at 800-282-2882, and if you want to send an email, and I check those.
We get a lot of them, but I I search the subject line.
I have a system.
I've uh found a way.
Usually I I sometimes I pick duds, but for the most part, scanning the subject line, I end up finding the gold.
I mean, so many thousands of emails are going to be 75,000 in the course of a 24-hour day, and most of that in these three hours, it's that's not including the spam.
So anyway, that address is the rushbow at EIBNet.us.
And let's talk about Trump and this Secretary of State position here.
And as always, let's measure and compare what Trump is doing with all of the hysteria and unhinged paranoia that preceded it.
And by that, I mean Trump wins, and even on election night, the Clintons and the Democrats and the media thought she was going to win, even as late as 9 30.
So they're shell-shocked.
They have just been obliterated.
Obama's policies have been repudiated.
They have lost.
They don't have a bench.
I mean, Joe Biden announcing he's going to run for president in 2020 is considered big news in the Democrat Party.
He'd be 78 years old.
They don't have a bench.
They don't have any presence.
You know, they only have the governorship and state legislature in four states.
They've just been wiped out.
And so they are in panic.
They are hysterical.
They're unhinged.
And here comes Trump, who is not political in this in the sense of being a politician.
And his transition begins, and he starts acting like he's already president.
And they're offended by that.
And then they say, this is so unpresidential.
This is so unseemly.
This is this is just this is just beyond appeal.
This is unacceptable.
This is not how it's done.
This is talking to Chinese and call from Taiwan.
They're just beside themselves here with the way Trump is violating every bit of behavioral protocol that they think exists, okay?
And then the names start getting bandied about for Secretary of State.
And he starts filling various cabinet positions somewhat quickly.
He surrounds himself with his inner circle of advisors relatively quickly.
And the first roster of names for Secretary of State are all friends and supporters.
And then it expands.
And the friends and supporters seem to fall out of favor.
And new people start showing up like Mitt Romney.
And Trump goes to dinner with Romney and spends a lot of time saying nice things about Romney.
Romney was dead set against him the entire campaign.
And then other names got things.
John Huntsman, who has got ties to the Obama regime.
He was one of the Chicom ambassadors at one time.
He's also from Utah, Mormon in competition, in a sense, with the Romney family.
Throw other names in there.
He picks a Secretary of Defense rather quickly.
He's picked Ben Carson for housing and urban development.
But the list of names for Secretary of State is still expanding, and Trump doesn't appear anywhere near making a choice.
We've got David Petraeus thrown in.
We've got John Bolton.
Consultations with Dr. Kissinger are taking place.
In fact, Trump is leaving Trump Tower today to go over to talk with Dr. Kissinger at Dr. Kissinger's office.
The one guy who doesn't make the trek to Trump Tower is Dr. Kissinger.
Trump's going over to see him.
Got some sound bites on that coming up that are very funny.
Anyway, have you noticed in all of this?
Have you noticed all the opinion pieces complimenting Trump on the seriousness of his search?
No, I haven't seen those.
There aren't any.
But how else can you interpret this?
I mean, on the one hand, here they're unhinged and they are hysterical and they're paranoid.
I think Trump has no idea what he's doing.
It's just scary, embarrassing.
And yet Trump is being deliberative.
He's being thorough.
He is taking his time.
It's obvious that he has a foreign policy, and it is obvious that he's looking for the right person to implement it.
Now the unhinged hysterical types would try to tell you that Trump doesn't know anything, and he doesn't have a foreign policy, and he's talking to all these people essentially to be educated and to be school, because he doesn't even, for example, he probably wouldn't know what the subcontinent is.
And he wouldn't know where Micronisia is.
And they probably have to tell him where India is and how Iceland isn't ice, it's green, and how Greenland isn't green, it's ice.
They're probably telling him all that that's how stupid they think he is.
They're going to continue to make that mistake, by the way.
They will never be able to admit that Trump is smart or smarter than they are, because they are the smartest people in the room.
And Trump doesn't he doesn't have the pedigree, he doesn't come to the right places.
They're never going to come to grips with this.
And Trump knows that, and I think he's going to be toying with them.
Like my cat toys with little geckos that it finds in the House.
You ought to see that.
I have to rescue geckos at least two or three a week.
You know what?
I was sitting there, I was watching something on TV the other night, and all of a sudden, I didn't register immediately.
But there's this racket going on on the sofa, right behind me.
And I figured it was just the cat, Allie trying to get comfortable behind.
But it kept going, and finally she started headbutting me.
So I said, okay, what the hell?
And I got up and turned around.
There was a dead gecko.
She had brought a dead gecko, and it was the back of the sofa, just inches from my head.
She was proudly showing the thing off.
I said, Alex, would you have to kill it?
There are friends.
They kill the insects, but she doesn't know that.
She brought me a present.
And I love those little geckos.
Uh I call them little buddies.
But she toys with them.
I sometimes I can tell what she's found one because she starts me owing like crazy if it has gone someplace that she can't get.
She goes insane.
And that's how these people are with Trump.
I mean, they just they haven't, they don't know what's hit them yet.
He's being very deliberate with the Secretary of State search.
He's not trying to impress anybody with the speed of his picks.
He's not trying to impress anybody with uh trying to show them he knows what they think he doesn't know.
He's not trying to meet any kind of artificial deadline.
He had an initial list of people and apparently wasn't satisfied.
He keeps conducting serious interviews with really serious people and an expanding list of them.
He's parading a bunch of people in and out of Trump Tower.
I think most of the people parading in and out of there for show, to tell you the truth.
I really do.
I think it's I think Trump's having more fun than you and I can possibly imagine.
I can I know he is, folks.
I used to do the Rush to Excellence tour the first two years of this program back in 1989, actually three, eighty-nine, eighty-eight, eighty-nine, and ninety.
And when he's on stage, he's got another one coming up with Fayetteville, North Carolina.
But that last Thursday night in Cincinnati, I'm telling you, he is having more fun Than any politician has ever been thought to be having fun.
He is literally immersed in enjoyment and joy.
He is eating it up.
And I think this endless parade of people parading in and out of Trump Tower.
I think a lot of it is just a show.
The people involved don't know it.
I mean, everybody being brought in there, they want to be seen.
They're stopping for the cameras, and some of them are walking to the microphones.
And they want to be seen.
They want the news out that they have been summoned to Trump Tower.
It's it's well, it's it's the red carpet in reverse.
He's rolling out the red carpet.
You know, but they're all making the trek to see him.
The only one is not is Dr. Kissinger.
I told I told the president elect that the only place I'm going to go is the Lesser.
And if he wants to see me to meet me there, or come to my office.
And that's it.
Trump's going to his office.
Hmm.
Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But the contrast here to what everybody told us to expect versus what's happening is uh is stark.
Uh and even Al Gore.
You know, I'm wondering how did this happen?
Who called who on this?
Did Al Gore is Al Gore out there sensing that the reason I think it's Al Gore is because whenever Gore shows up, it freezes.
When Gore shows up, it's a snowstorm, it's a blizzard.
And lo and behold, here comes Gore to New York yesterday to try to get a meeting with Ivanka and Trump and warn them that they're wrong on climate change, and we're gonna have the biggest blast of cold air swamping the entire country with exception of Florida, starting tomorrow.
We are gonna have this gigantic cold air mass come down from Alaska because of the jet stream.
They've been warning us about this for a week, and it's actually the models on this were right.
We're gonna be 20 to 30 degrees below normal in the Midwest, the upper Midwest.
It's not gonna hit New York.
I think it may miss New York.
We're not gonna get it here either.
You know what the feel-like temperature at noon yesterday was?
It was 90 yesterday here to feel like.
Humidity was back up.
We just love it.
Anyway, Gore shows up and he brings with him this massive, unseasonable, unprecedented cold wave.
So I'm thinking it's Trump that called, or it's it's Gore that called Trump.
And oh, yeah, the environmental.
Oh, you ought to see my tech blogs.
They're all of a sudden they're they're withdrawing all allegations and accusations against Trump.
Maybe Trump has seen the light.
Maybe Trump's actually going to get it on this.
Maybe, maybe with Al Gore going into visit, maybe we were wrong about Trump.
I'm gonna tell you the fastest way for me to abandon all this is if they sign on to this.
I'm just telling you right now, folks, I can't look the other way at that, and I won't.
There's no way on Earth.
But I'm I'm gonna wait, see what happens.
I think I think a lot of this is a show, and a lot of this is.
Fine, bring him in.
Talk to him.
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.
Gore leaves, thinks he's mattered.
Uh he's on the board of Apple, too.
You can't.
There's all kinds of stuff behind the scenes of every one of these meetings.
Al Gore is a board member at Apple.
Trump's got plans for Apple.
Who knows?
They might not have even been talking climate change.
Everybody thinks climate change because gore.
We don't know.
But I can just tell you Trump's loving every minute of this.
Let's take a timeout.
We'll come back.
We will continue, start on the phones right after this.
So I just checked the email.
Uh, Mr. Limbaugh, are you going to go to Trump Tower?
Have you been asked to come?
No, folks.
They only call me when they get in trouble.
And now to the phone, Suzanne Blunts Creek, North Carolina.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Good day, Rush.
This is an early Christmas present.
Thank you for taking my call.
You're more than welcome.
It's great to have you out there.
Okay.
Uh, in reference to Juliani, excuse me, I'm I have lost my voice and regained it.
But uh two weeks ago, he was on Fox and Friends in the morning, and the topic of Secretary of State came up in a lot of names, his included, and he leaned forward, smiled, and said, I'm the best qualified.
And as soon as he said that, I thought, oh my, if Trump's watching this, he's not going to appreciate the that eagerness.
Well, let me let me tell you something.
Uh Suzanne, Trump watches TV.
Oh, sure.
He watches so much TV, he thinks certain things are popular that aren't.
For example, Morning Joe, they got no viewers.
He may be the only one.
But because he watches, he thinks everybody does.
Nobody does.
He he sees he sees everything on T one he does not delegate people to watch TV for him.
So I'm sure he saw that, and you're probably right, it didn't sit well.
He's the one that's going to decide who's qualified or not.
And I'm sure I'm sure that put him in on 10.
If if if that act did you actually see Rudy say that or was he joking or was he serious?
He looked serious.
He leaned forward, he smiled, and he said, but I'm the best qualified.
Well, look, let's let's treat it both ways.
Let's say he was dead serious in saying so.
And his thought process, look, Trump's like Trump likes decisiveness, uh, and I'm gonna show Trump I'm decisive.
But but Trump ought not need to see anything from Rudy.
I mean he knows him well, he can obviously trust him.
Uh so if you go on TV and you say, obviously, I'm the most qualified, you're kind of putting Trump on a on a in a dangerous position.
I mean, it you're making it look like the decision is kind of be taken out of Trump's hands or being forced or or what have you.
It's Trump that's supposed to decide who's best qualified or not.
I was wondering if Trump is has taken a step back and is looking at all of these people who are so sure of themselves, and he's not talking about them.
I do see Nick Gingrich still in the news and he's still supportive, but I haven't seen it.
That's a that's a different story.
Let me uh uh Well I know, I mean he's not in the running for the Secretary of State.
He's already said he, you know.
Right, he wants to be the grand strategist.
He wants to be the grand wizard behind the curtain.
That's fine.
He wants to be the wizard of Trump.
That's fine.
Now let me ask you, did you hear the first segment of the program today, Susan?
Oh, yes.
Oh yeah.
Okay, well you're I think that segment gave you the answer you're looking for, or at least a potential answer as to what Trump is doing.
And because if you you you're obvious you're observing here that the expansion of people, the the the list that's growing is largely people that didn't support him.
I mean, these these new candidates are people that did not support him.
And so people why is this?
I mean, why w people that don't understand this?
People who voted for Trump think that Rudy, not Rudy, that that Romney and some of these others that Trump ought to see him as the enemy.
He ought to see him as the enemy.
These guys do not have his best interest at heart.
Yet Trump's talking to him.
Trump might choose one of them.
And I was trying to provide a reason why that might happen in the opening segment of the program.
Yeah.
As soon as I heard Romney's name, I automatically thought, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.
Yeah, well, it's a automatically.
It's a ver it's a version of that, but it's the here's the the thing about that is Trump doing this instinctively, or is it a throughout thought out and strategic move?
And that would argue against it being Machiavellian.
Machiavellian is instinctive.
Uh and you can still be Machiavellian in in your in your strategic thinking, but you could, yeah.
Hey, look, time is dwindling here, and I need to ask you, Suzanne, would you like a new iPhone, a seven or seven plus?
Oh, mercy.
Well, let me ask you, th I have a quick question.
Um if I forego and offer that to the next veteran who calls, or is that redundant with the next veteran?
Well, the problem with that is anybody can call and say they're a veteran.
You take the phone and personally give it to the veteran.
You can find You are so sweet.
Whatever whatever you ha whatever you whatever you say.
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna send you an iPhone 7 plus that will work on any cell carrier, since you'll be that way you'll be able to give it to any veteran you want.
Oh, thank you.
You are so precious, and thank you for all you've got to do.
Oh, you're I'm I'm I'm happy to do it.
And I'm I can't just hang on so we can get an address or we can uh FedEx it to you.
Uh we've been FedEx is busy this time of year, and sometimes they don't make the next day delivery, but everything that we've sent out so far has made it the next day out.
Yours probably will too.
But just now remember here, Suzanne, it's it'll be unlocked.
It'll work on any cell phone carrier in the world, and it does not have a SIM card in it.
You tell the veteran that we'll be back after this.
Let me give you some little stats here on Al Gore.
Because I I just find this juicy as it can be.
You know, there's so much hypocrisy on the left, and they never get called on it.
They get away with every act of hypocrisy in which they engage.
When Al Gore ran for president in 2000, he filed a public financial disclosure report that revealed his net worth was somewhere around $700,000 in the year 2000 running for president.
Oh, I got an email.
Why do you pronounce his name one word, Al Gore?
Good question.
To understand that, you have to have been listening here back in the Clinton days.
Uh we used to do uh uh funny parodies of Clinton as Count Dracula and his trusty sidekick Al Gore.
Real name was Igor, but we called him Al Gore.
And Clinton was sending Al Gore around to raise people's taxes, sucking their blood and this kind of thing.
So that it's just stuck with me.
He's Al Gore.
Trusted aid, you know, the doofus lackey, the old guys.
He ever knows every bad guy has his number one aide as an idiot.
Anyway, so he's just stuck.
It's it's Al Gore, not Al Gore.
But that's why.
Anyway, when Al Gore ran for president in 2000, financial disclosure report that he filed, net worth $700,000.
Today, in 2016, Al Gore's net worth is over $172 million.
Now he lost the presidency in 2000.
What did he do?
What has Al Gore done in 16 years to go from $700,000 to $172 million?
A lot of that money, by the way, is oil money.
You remember when Al Gore bought this worthless little cable channel and turned it into something.
What was it, what do you call it?
He gave a uh right, turned it into current TV.
And the brilliant programming idea of current TV was home videos.
Young leftist activists could make home videos of all the things they're doing to make the world a better place and send them into Al Gore.
Al Gore would televise them on current TV.
Well, it flopped.
Trump may have watched it, but if he did, he was the only one.
Trump watches a lot of TV.
Al Gore sold current TV.
Are you ready for it?
Wait for it.
He sold it to the government of Qatar.
The government of Qatar, which is filthy oil money.
And they turned it into Al Jazeera West or Al Jazeera North or whatever it was.
So Al Gore, he buys this thing for a pittance.
And I think he sold it for something like 65 or 70 million dollars to the government of Qatar, which is a filthy oil potent state, potentate state in the Middle East.
Now you would think Al Gore hates oil because he's a big climate change guy.
And those guys think oil is the is the greatest evil in the world.
But Al Gore, in a gigantic act of hypocrisy, has Profited to the moon because of Cutter.
He also has something like what is it 100,000 shares of Apple.
And that stake is roughly now the Apple price is 100.
Let me check what the Apple price is.
I'll do some quick math on this.
Yeah, but let's look at what the Apple price is here.
You do some when it when this when this thing.
Okay, they're at a hundred figure, 110 bucks.
Multiply 110 bucks.
Divide 10.
No, 100,000 times 110.
See what you get.
And that'll tell us what his uh that's what it's currently worth.
What is anyway?
So he's up there around 173 million dollars, and he's he's he's just carbon footprint is just out the wazoo.
And it's just one Hippocratic or hypocritical existence after another.
Back to the phones we go, Ryan Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Hi, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
It's a great pleasure to be on.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, look, I I don't think that the critics of Donald Trump that are they I don't think they're falling through on their own reasoning that he's this narcissistic, egotistical businessman who makes all of his money through his name to its logical conclusion.
And that logical conclusion is that he has every reason to succeed because I can't imagine anything worse to him than waking up in the morning and realizing that he's a failed brand because his brand to him is everything.
And so your theory is that he's gonna try to get it right because if he doesn't, he stands more to lose after the after he is president because his business is.
Well, you know, it's it's it that look, it's an interesting thing.
I happen to think that the actual greatest fear that Trump critics have is that what he's doing is going to work.
I think you're gonna put yourself in the position of the political class.
Both parties, the establishment of the lobbying industry, the donor class, the political class, the media, you put them all in that lump in which they live.
And there's one way of doing things, it's their way.
And Trump is not doing anything the way they do it, and they're paranoid and they're offended, and they're acting scared, and they're acting arrogant, and they're making fun of him, he doesn't know what he's doing.
This business with China and Taiwan, he's embarrassing all of us deep down.
The greatest fear they've got, and they this it's an outgrowth of the fear they had during the campaign, too.
I mean, Trump blew up the way you campaign.
Trump defied everything that says you lose if you do it.
He did everything that would lose be well guarantee most people in his views to lose.
He he didn't lose he won.
He's rewritten every one of these rules, and they're living, I think, in paranoid fear.
What a- And they're falling, they're following Rush around the world.
That I mean, the leftist governments that only exist uh based upon the creating a population that's dependent upon it.
They're falling all around the planet.
That's true, too.
Well, for f forget why you're right about that, but they're failing left and right.
But they they have done everything they can to hide that, to obscure that.
They've done everything they can, in fact, to make it look like what they are is smart and reasonable and just give us more time.
These uh techniques of ours take a little while to accomplish, establish this global network of this and that and the other thing.
It's not easy to do.
We're the only ones qualified to do it.
They're failing everywhere.
They're failing in Cuba, they're failing in Venezuela.
The ChICOMs had to modify and moderate, otherwise they'd be bombing out as well.
The Chicoms, if they hadn't incorporated some market principles, would be in as bad a shape as as any of these other places were.
Russia is uh is still on the cum, but all of these uh the European Union, the the Western socialist democracies, they're not working.
And the people are voting them out.
And they're scared to death of being exposed.
They're scared to death of being exposed as the frauds they are.
I mean, look at this is I think this this was this was true during the campaign.
Is that one of the things that I think energized and and uh animated, if you will, the the never Trumpers was they viewed themselves as the sole proprietors and the sole owners of quote unquote conservatism.
They alone were the arbiters.
They alone were the ones to determine what it was to define it.
They alone were the ones who would say who and who isn't a conservative.
They alone would be the ultimate authority, and thus how to implement it and how not to implement it and what it is and what it isn't.
And by virtue of that, they had in their minds the lock.
The only way conservatives can win was what they said to do and how to do it.
So here comes Trump, and he's exposing so far all of these know it alls.
I don't care what party, I don't care what ideology, he's exposing them all as frauds to one degree or another.
Well, not all.
There's I don't I don't want to broad brush here, but enough of them that they are scared to death exactly as you say that if he succeeds, they've been exposed.
And your theory is he's going to succeed because of his big ego and his brand, and he just doesn't tolerate losing.
He doesn't tolerate failure, and winning is why he does what he does, and you don't see anything about that that's about to change, right?
I I can't imagine a bigger nightmare for Donald Trump than waking up and realizing that history has reflected upon him as a failed brand, because this is everything.
Uh when well yeah the th th there may be elements in the media that'll do that no matter what.
As they continue to do now.
They're continuing to say Trump doesn't know what he's doing.
Even after the the Taiwan China circumstance, all the experts said, well, it may have been thought out after all.
Their first take was they couldn't have thought about this.
I mean, if they'd have thought about it.
This shows how stupid they are.
It had to be knee-jerk.
We'll have to cut them some slack.
Then they figured out it was planned.
And when they learned that it was planned, they said, well, Trump's not smart enough to plan it.
It has to be one of his aides.
It has to be one of his advisors.
Trump couldn't possibly.
So there's still you're gonna have a whole industry.
Trump could end up being the most popular best president ever.
And if the current regime of drive-by survives whatever number of years he serves, they're gonna write that he was a failure.
Just on just on principle.
Look, I'm nearing the end of time for you here.
Ryan, what kind of iPhone do you want?
Seven or seven plus?
Uh seven plus would be great, Rush.
All right.
What carrier?
Uh I have ATT.
What color?
Uh do you still have the jet black?
I do.
That would be great.
All right.
Okay.
So it's going to be it's it's a in that it's a world phone.
It'll work on any carrier.
It does not have a SIM card in it.
So it'll work on it'll work ATT, Sprint, Verizon T-Mobile, you name it, it'll work there.
Even if you take it to China, it'll work there.
You just have to get the right SIM card.
Hang on, we'll get your address and uh you'll have it tomorrow.
Back after this, folks.
Don't go away.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh with half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair, here's Bill in Atlanta, your next sir.
It's a delight to have you with us.
Hi.
Rush, it's a delight to be on.
It's 27 years of ditto with you, so thank you very much.
Wow.
You've been a long time.
I appreciate it.
I really appreciate it.
Oh, yes.
Um I think it's absolute insanity what we're spending for the Secret Service and its budget and in its entirety.
And then you talking about new Air Force ones just sent me over the top.
I've been if I had a nickel for every time I wanted to call you, I'd probably have a G7 by now, but uh this one sent me over the top.
So I just I cannot understand.
It's absolute insanity.
And for some of the at least, and again, I know it's gonna happen anyway, maybe it'll only be three billion instead of four, it's still ridiculous.
Washington and Adams rode horseback to Washington, and now we gotta we gotta cart the the president around.
They're we're just they're just a person.
We're all just people that We are replaceable when it comes down to running our government.
And we do it every four years.
And I just can't understand.
You think we we go way overboard in uh security for the president?
Oh my gosh.
If you looked at the uh at the Secret Service budget where it grew from when Kennedy was president to where we are now, you you'd you'd it would be exponentially craziness is what it would be, I believe.
Well, I don't know how many takers you're gonna get on that.
Oh my gosh.
You think Kennedy is dead.
Well, no, I okay the bat okay.
We're but I mean that that's what causes all the we we are reactive here.
Yeah, and and uh you know squeaky From took a couple shots at Gerald Ford.
Yeah, uh and so they they ramped up again.
Uh and we don't know, you know, what other what what what attempts are but but uh but at some point don't we have to understand that we we're there it's just an it's one person in we we just can't we're I know where you're coming from you're you you're saying to us we're all human beings how can one of us even if he's elected president be that much more important it just not possible thank you we have somebody could step in there and assume the job and
we would all go on like nothing happened.
Yes.
And so it's uh well you know the argument could be made easily the other way too because of the the impact on on an event like that would indeed have worldwide ramifications.
Of course, but we would get through it, wouldn't we?
Yeah, but it would be better not to have to.
Yeah.
It would be better not to have to.
Look, I agree.
If you think Air Force won four billion dollars for two airplanes, uh and then you couple that with a hundred and what, the Washington Post exclusive story today on the Pentagon, hiding 125 billion dollars of bureaucratic waste.
I still find it fascinating that we didn't find out any of this during Obama.
We're only learning about it now on the eve of the inauguration of Trump.
But I can tell you some of these you know I flew into Martha's Vineyard uh once for a golf trip on Air Force One, and I was advised to put a a chaff dispenser on the airplane in case there was a surfaced air missile attack on me, because it's all liberals that live there, and I priced it out, and it's way over.
You you know uh a seven-inch television set, not even high definition, a seven-inch television set for a private airplane is five thousand dollars.
Because it has it you can you can only buy it from certain places it has to have FAA approval on all kinds of crazy.
Five thousand dollars for a seven-inch, not even high definition TV.
It's a racket.
It's like concession stand at a ballpark.
That's the only place you can go if you want to get because they won't let you bring it in, so they can charge you whatever they want.
It's uh and I'm sure there's a lot of that built in with security and cost otherwise on Air Force One.
It's just stands to reason.
Look, we're nearing the end of the broadcast segment here, Bill.
Uh and of course, since I'm offering every caller, I don't know for how much longer I'm gonna do it, but today I definitely am a free brand new iPhone 7 or 7 plus if you want one.
Well, of course I would.
I'd love one.
Well, which what which carrier are you?
Um T Mobile.
T Mobile.
Cool.
Okay, do you have a color preference?
Absolutely no.
Good grief.
Uh you never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Whatever you got the most of.
Okay.
Uh fine dandy.
We'll surprise you, but it will come.
It's either gonna have a T-Mobile or an AT and T SIM card in it, but it's unlocked.
It'll work on T-Mobile.
Awesome.
I mean, that's obviously very generous.
You're more than welcome to it.
And if you take it to their store, tell them it's unlocked.
Well, well, tell them it's a gift and take it in the box and that you want to move your T-Mobile number to it, and they'll happily take care of you.
Hang on so we can get your address.
Don't go away.
Uh answering an email.
No, I don't think Jeb Bush will end up in the potential Secretary of State mix.
Well, people are asking me because of the opening half hour to pray.
Jeb signed up as a lobbyist, and that disqualifies him.
Trump's hiring no lobbyists, and if you work with Trump, you can't be a lobbyist for five years after Trump fires you.
So uh sit tight, folks.
