Just a couple more things on the Electoral College, and then I want to move on.
Donald Trump tweeted out, properly so, he's very correct about this, that if his supporters were doing anything like this, if Hillary had won, and if his supporters were doing anything like this, they would be blasted.
And the drive-by media would be doing individual investigations on the people and finding out who they were and who was paying them.
And they would be running stories that would be an attempt to destroy each and every person trying to get an elector not to vote for Hillary Clinton.
When in fact, we told you about this guy from Dallas, the Republican elector that the New York Times found out about and gave him an op-ed in the New York Times, Chris Suprin.
And he wrote about why he can't bring himself to vote for Trump, even though he's a Republican elector.
And it's been learned from an investigation of WFAA TV in Dallas that the guy's a fraud, that he has not been a first responder.
He was not part of a fire department responding to 9-11 in the plane crash at the Pentagon.
The guy's making up things out of whole cloth and putting it on his resume and FAA TV, WFAA Dallas investigated.
The New York Times has not reported on the man they gave an op-ed to being a fraud.
But if one of Trump's supporters were doing this or if any of Trump's supporters were doing it, you can bet that the New York Times and every place else in the media would try to find out every one of these electors and every protester, and they would be summarily destroyed in the drive-by media.
They would be investigated by Obama's Department of Justice, probably maybe even put in jail for voter intimidation and hate crimes, but not Hillary's people.
And why isn't that?
The Democrats before the election wringing their hands and worried about vote fraud and the Russian hacking and the integrity of our elections.
Well, if this isn't voter harassment and attempted voter fraud, I don't know what it is, and it is unprecedented.
Why isn't there an FBI investigation into this or a DOJ investigation into this?
And why isn't Obama behind it for the integrity of our elections, for the integrity of our Constitution?
Instead, it's Obama and Hillary who are tacitly inspiring this.
And they need to pay a political price beyond what they've paid for this, folks.
I don't know what the remedy for it right now is, but I'm telling you, these people need to continue to be politically defeated and hammered day in and day out.
We have the best chance in the history of my doing this program for 29, 30 years, the best chance we have ever had to relegate liberalism, to inform people, to educate people, to say, to let people see for themselves just who and what liberals and liberalism is.
And it requires staying on offense.
And that's what Trump knows.
That's what Trump is good at.
President Obama himself.
Oh, one other thing.
I mentioned the Huffing and Puffington post in the youGov.poll.
Here's the real poll.
It's in the Politico.
It's a political morning consult poll.
There's little support for the effort to intimidate electors into not voting for Trump.
Voters show little support for Electoral College revolt.
It barely even shows up.
And see, there's the truth.
You turn on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, read the New York Times, Washington Post, and you would think that this whole country is focused on the Electoral College and the effort to unseat Trump.
And you would get the impression that a majority of the Americans are in favor of this because they are outraged after having learned that the Russians hacked the election and stole it from Hillary.
That is the BS.
That is the barnyard crap that they are putting out there.
That is the mainstream media news of the day.
And it has been for days.
The Russians hacked the election.
Trump's election is illegal and perhaps fraudulent.
And the electors need to know this.
Maybe even give intel briefings to them so that they can do right and not select Trump today.
That's the news of the day.
And they do it as they always do with this aura that every American thinks the same thing.
They want you to think the whole country is outraged over the Russians supposedly hacking the election.
And the whole country is outraged over how Trump won.
And that the whole country now wants the Electoral College to back off and either delay or not vote for Trump.
And the truth of the matter is, the number of people who think like that you could put in a phone booth.
It is a tiny, inconsequential number.
And it's yet another illustration of how the media tries to write the daily script of the daily soap opera that they then pass off as whatever is the news of the day.
There isn't any news of the day.
All the media is anymore is the Democrat Party's agenda, the Democrat Party's political desires and objectives presented as the news and also presented as popularly supported by the American people.
And none of it's true.
I think part of what's happening here is the media is desperately trying to prove to themselves that they can still bend and shape a majority of American opinion.
They failed, Ms. They thought they had Trump relegated to the ash heap.
They thought that Hillary was going to win this even at 9 o'clock on election night.
They have been gobsmacked and still haven't come to grips with it.
So now part of what they're doing is reaching out.
And they've been doing this, by the way, I think since 1988.
They have been trying to tell themselves that even though they no longer have a monopoly that they actually do over public opinion, they can bend it and shape it and flake it and form it.
And that's part of what this exercise is all about.
And it's blowing up in their faces.
President Obama himself is looking childish in that press conference on Friday.
I told Vladimir to cut it up.
But it's not just that.
He can't get talk radio off his mind.
He cannot get talk radio and Fox News out of his head.
During that press conference last Friday, Obama blamed talk radio for the effectiveness of the Russian hack.
He blamed talk radio for making Russia propaganda effective.
And when Obama says talk radio, he means me.
He's got me on the brain.
I'm living in his head rent-free, as is Fox News.
And if you think otherwise, let's go to the audio soundbites.
This morning on morning edition on NPR, the co-host Steve Inskeep, interviewing President Barack Obama, during a discussion about politics in America, the host of NPR's morning edition, Mr. Steve Inskeep, asked President Obama, is President-elect Trump right that political correctness in this country has gone too far?
The irony in this debate is oftentimes you'll hear somebody like a Rush Limbaugh or other conservative commentators or radio shock jocks or some conservative politicians who are very quick to jump on any evidence of progressives being quote-unquote politically correct,
but who are constantly aggrieved and hypersensitive about the things they care about and are continually feeding this sense of victimization and that they are being subject to reverse discrimination.
It cuts both ways.
All right, does anybody understand what he said?
I think it may require me to translate that.
But see, the left thinks that what you just heard is erudite brilliance.
You just heard genius.
You heard a brilliant theoretician.
You heard a brilliant academic.
You heard someone who's flawlessly able to express himself, mild-mannered, measured, cautious, proper restraint, but is able to nail exactly what he means.
So the question was, is President-elect Trump right that political correctness in this country has gone too far?
And some of the first thing that comes to his mind is me.
The irony in this debate.
There isn't any what debate?
Political correctness?
There's no debate about it.
It is way out of whack.
Wait till you hear the latest example of it from the University of Kentucky.
You won't believe this.
You hear somebody like a Rush Limbaugh.
There's only one, sir.
A Rush Limbaugh or other commentators, you know, shock jocks, conservative politicians, very quick to jump on any evidence of progressives being politically correct, but they're constantly hypersensitive about the things they care about and are continually feeding this sense of victimization.
Us?
That is the last thing we are.
What this really means is the question, is Trump right that political correctness in this country has gone too far?
What Obama is really talking about is that if it weren't for me and people who do what I do and people like me, if it weren't for me, they would have gotten away with this.
They would have gotten away with transforming the general thinking of a majority of the country.
And political correctness would have become the politics of the day because political correctness is nothing more than censorship.
Political correctness is cowardice.
Political correctness is itself victimization.
Political correctness is childish and it's censorship and it happens to be one of the primary tools of the left to silence and stifle anything they disagree with and don't want to hear.
And if it weren't for me, they would have succeeded.
And so after mentioning me, he then has to talk about how I complain about this, that, and the other thing, just like other people do.
I actually don't know what he means here when he talks about hypersensitive about the things they care about, continually feeding the sense of victimism.
All I do is tell people the truth.
All I do is deconstruct what people like Obama say and deconstruct what people like Obama are doing.
All I do is tell people who they are.
And it must be hitting home and it must be bugging them.
Because usually Obama only mentions my name at fundraisers because mentioning my name is one of the fastest ways to get a deranged leftist to write checks.
But he's bitter and he's angry.
And you would be too if you were him.
The grand plan was after eight years, and don't doubt me on this.
The grand hope was that after eight years, the American public would beg Obama to somehow find a way to stay, even if it took amending the Constitution.
Eight years ago, the grand design was a liberal leftist government in permanent residence forever, in perpetuity, that was so popular and so loved and so demanded.
Obama himself was going to be so popular that people would be begging him to find a way to stay.
And instead, he's leaving and people are happy and optimistic and filled with hope for the first time in eight years.
It's got to be a very sobering for somebody as self-impressed with themselves as Obama is, for somebody with the ego he's got, and for somebody who believes his press clippings when the drive-bys talk about how brilliant and erudite and genius he is.
And nothing that he's done has worked.
Well, from his standpoint, it has, but it has put the country in a state of decline.
It has weakened America around the world.
And when America is weakened, the world is more endangered and out of control.
And that is exactly where we are.
This idea, this grand idea of United Nations-led globalism with climate change being the issue that united the nations of the world into a giant series of tax increases and a reduction in the standard of living and therefore making everybody more dependent on government.
That was the grand dream that was the big hope.
And it's crumbled.
It has fallen apart in an embarrassing way.
And the woman that was to carry the torch has been sent packing to the woods of Chappaqua.
And they can't deal with it.
They've been living in fantasy land for all eight years, lying to themselves about how popular they are, lying about how beloved they are, lying about how much the American people appreciate them.
And the first chance the American people got the signal we want to go somewhere in a different direction, they took it.
And these people know that they have lost something like 1,300 electoral seats in eight years.
It is a walking disaster.
I could understand Obama being put out because this was not the dream.
And I mentioned Obama also mentioning talk radio and so forth in this Friday press conference.
This was a question, Martha Raditz, who's almost still in tears over the election.
And she said, do the tweets and do the statements by Donald Trump embolden Russia.
If fake news that's being released by some foreign government is almost identical to reports that are being issued through partisan news venues, then it's not surprising that that foreign propaganda will have a greater effect because it doesn't seem that far-fetched compared to some of the other stuff that folks are hearing from domestic propagandists.
I wonder who that is.
When a foreign government introduces that same argument, which tags that are made up, voters who've been listening to that stuff for years, who've been getting that stuff every day from talk radio or something.
Oh, there it is again.
There it is again.
People that voters have been listening to that stuff for years, been getting that stuff every day from talk radio.
They're going to believe it.
Fake news.
Far-fetched stuff hearing about domestic propagandists.
He's got it in deep for us here, folks.
I'm telling you, they're telling themselves up there we're responsible.
I know it.
I know it to be true.
He led off his administration telling Republican leaders in Congress to stop listening to me.
That's not how things get done in Washington.
He comes into office telling them that, and he's leaving office lamenting that they still do listen to me, and he can't figure it out.
Okay, starting on the phones here with Matt in Arnold's Park, Iowa.
Hi, Matt.
How are you doing?
Good, Rush.
Merry Christmas and cigar smoke and aviation dittos to you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'll get right to my point.
I voted for Trump.
I'm for Trump.
But one thing that concerns me, I'd like your take, is the infrastructure spending.
I'm confident that just if we round off and say a trillion dollars for airports and all that stuff, Obama gave that away to the unions.
And I realized that Trump will actually use infrastructure for infrastructure, but then it's going to get embedded in the baseline budgeting from here to eternity.
And why can't we, and I know there's surrogates from his team that listen to you, that money that was in TARP for Obama his first year, 2008, 9, or 10, whenever we passed that, or they passed it, I should say, why can't we use that money?
And it just doesn't.
I learned about baseline budgeting from you and Goldmart, and it doesn't get talked about enough, and it's just going to kill this country.
And why can't we use that first TARP money, dig it out, and explain to people?
Because that money is at the Democrat Party now.
Well, but it's in there every year going thereafter Rush.
Yeah, but it's been a portion.
I need to try to tell you how this is going to be done, at least the way it is being planned.
And what I'm going to tell you, I'm in no way, please don't infer right now that I'm endorsing this by virtue of my tone of voice, but I want to explain it to you because I have looked into this and I have talked to people up on Capitol Hill about this, and they are convinced that Trump is serious, that Trump wants a trillion-dollar real infrastructure bill, that it is one of his top priorities.
And so be advised, this probably will not come as a surprise to you, that Republicans on Capitol Hill are therefore very intent on seeing he gets it.
Now, wait, before you go jumping off the bridge here that's going to be rebuilt next year, it's a trillion dollars over 10 years.
Number one, it's not a giant appropriation of $1 trillion.
And it's not all government money.
Some of it is going to be private sector money.
At least the attempt is going to be to have some of the money come from private sector donations, people who will be benefiting from some of the rebuilding.
There's also going to be an effort.
Do not know to what extent to get some of the states where this is going to happen to be participating in it as well.
There's also going to be an effort to get some of this money from existing spots in the budget.
It's going to be a fascinating jigsaw puzzle to put together.
Hang on.
I'm not halfway finished here.
Don't go away.
Okay, back we are.
It's El Rushbo and the EIB network, and we have Matt here from Arnold's Park, Iowa, concerned about the effect of Trump's trillion-dollar stimulus plan on the ongoing growth of the budget via baseline budgeting.
What I'm given to understand here, nobody knows how it's actually going to come out.
I'm just, I've learned what people's thinking is, and Trump really wants it.
He really, really thinks our airports are dilapidated and a number of bridges and things at schools.
But a lot of this, a lot of this is airport-related and bridge and road, major, major thoroughfare.
He apparently is embarrassed flying around, driving around looking at the state of these things.
And he's seen all the money supposedly appropriated years and years and years ago for this, and it never gets spent on this.
So he's held in on it.
And the Republicans in Congress understand how serious he is and are going to try to find a way to make it happen with as little budget impact as it can be.
It's not going to be your usual series of appropriations.
I don't know the mix, and I don't know if they're actually going to be able to pull off their plan of combining federal money with private money, with state money, but it's a trillion dollars over 10 years, and Trump is insistent that it be revenue neutral, meaning that it's not going to grow the budget.
Now, you talk to Republicans in Congress, and they'll tell you, well, I'm sorry, Mr. Trump, the only place to get money like that is from entitlements.
But that isn't true.
Well, Rush, I just, I agree with what you're saying.
I just, I wish...
Did you vote for Trump?
I...
I did.
I was a Ted Cruz guy in Iowa for the caucuses.
But when that went awry, yeah, Trump was my number two guy.
In fact, I wish they could have kind of put things aside and been a team, but that would have been awesome.
But yeah, I voted for him.
Okay.
Well, but see, was you not your first choice?
So therefore, he doesn't satisfy your primary.
No, I wouldn't say that.
I mean, you know, I thought Cruz put up a valid fight, but he was the number two guy.
And hey, maybe next time.
But I love how he's thinking out of the box, and everything is totally different because I think that going forward, elections forward, I think Republicans are, we've been set free that you've just got to totally rethink this thing and how we've done things.
I think that's what we're in the midst of witnessing.
Now, look, contrary to what I don't know that the Trump people listen here.
I haven't talked to Donald Trump since two weeks after he made the comment on McCain.
So I'm not wired.
I'm not connected there at all.
All I have is my...
Oh, she's addicted to the program, just like everybody that listens for six weeks or more.
I mean, I know he's a busy man, but I know he's surrounded by people.
But anyway, you're just not being gracious enough to yourself.
Well, here's the thing.
This is what I'm telling myself.
I have faith in this.
I really do believe that Trump is cut from a different cloth.
We are all so conditioned.
We couldn't be otherwise.
Right.
We are so conditioned to monitoring and witnessing and disapproving the political appropriations process all of our lives.
We know they lie to us about it.
We know they tell us that everything's going to be revenue neutral and taxes aren't going to go up and it's not going to bust the budget and always does.
Now, one other little aside here.
There are a lot of conservatives out there that are taking the occasion of Trump's desired stimulus to point out, see, we told you this guy's not conservative.
This guy's spending money like every left-wing liberal, just like we do.
These are the same people.
Matt, these are the same people that authorized every Obama budget rather than oppose him.
These are the same people that said, no, we'll deal with that.
We'll kick the can down the road.
We'll give Obama.
So these people have been complicit in Obama's spending, as far as I'm concerned.
And now they want to act like they're on a high horse and saying that Trump is violating.
People with a Republican Party that looked the other way and didn't have the guts to stop Obama when his budgeting went out of control.
I think Trump is literally going to try.
That's why he's got the people he's got in his cabinet.
These are people that can't spend Willie-Nilly.
These are people that have to show a profit all their lives.
They've had to answer to shareholders.
They have had to be responsible in the way they've conducted their business.
And they're all fed up with the way Washington works.
And if these people, led by Trump, think that our airports, for example, are falling apart and need to be rebuilt, and you tell them we don't have the money for it.
These are people that know how to find money that no politician says he can find.
I'm interested.
I really think that we're on the cusp here of redefining the way Washington works.
I think that's why Washington's so paranoid.
I think we're on the cusp here of having the entire game blown to smithereens.
Baseline budgeting, for example, is a trick that allows Washington to never cut the budget that they put in the budget for that express purpose.
I think baseline budgeting is the kind of thing, maybe not specifically.
I think baseline budgeting is the kind of thing that people in Trump's orb are going to look at and say, this is silly.
It's stupid.
How can you authorize more spending when this budget area still has some left?
Right.
It's killing us, Rush.
It's killing the country.
It is.
But not just that, it's what it's being spent on.
It's being spent on people to keep them dumb, to keep them unemployed, and to keep them dependent.
And believe me, this is not what Trump, it's certainly not these people in his cabinet, some of these people I know.
And they are in no way interested in acquiring power the way the Democrat Party is or your average politician, i.e., in creating dependency among people.
Trump wants people productive.
He wants people kicking ass and busting their ass.
He wants the country to actually become great again as he remembers it in his youth and beyond.
And he thinks it can be done.
And he thinks everything that's being done now and the way it's being done is cockeyed and crazy.
Well, do you, Rush, do you think like the State Department, which is just full of career politicians that are liberals or career people that are liberals, do you think that swamp will get?
I mean, it would just, I would be heartbroken.
It would make me mad to know that Maria Harth still has a job in this new administration doing something different.
I mean, are people like that going to go and get their walking papers?
She may have already.
I haven't seen Marie Harth in a couple of years.
She's a spokesman, anyway.
She's just the Assistant Secretary of State for Strategic Communications.
That's just spokesmanly.
I know.
It's unbelievable.
Let me tell you: if Rex Tillerson is confirmed as Secretary of State, you're going to have mass resignations in there.
You're going to have a bunch of liberals.
They're going to march out of there and protest.
But look, we're way too soon to be able to make real solid predictions here.
And I'm trying to separate my predictions from my desires.
I'm like you.
I don't really know what's going to happen, except that I know Trump, and I listen to him.
I believe he says what he means.
And when it comes to things like this, that he's very serious about.
And I don't, I think when Trump talks about how stupid our leaders have been, I think it's this kind of stuff he's talking about: budgeting, wasting money, getting nothing for it other than cementing political power.
I think he's about something entirely different.
And we'll just have to wait and see.
I could be shown to be dead wrong in time.
And if he is, his base is, if he is anything, if he is significantly different than what he's leading his base supporters to believe, he's going to have troubles with them.
He's made it very clear to them what he's going to do and who he is, and he understands why they supported him.
And I think the panic in Washington is well-deserved on these people's part because I think they're fully aware of just how much he could come and shake these things up.
The Republicans already are working on their early first-year Trump agenda that is designed to give him what he wants.
Rush, can I ask you a quick side aviation question?
I'm a pilot and I do work at an airport.
Yeah, go ahead.
Tom, EIB1, I understand TFRs, and I know you talked about this a couple weeks ago.
Are you going to get a special waiver from him to be able to get EIB1 repositioned?
Because that, I mean, we kind of laugh, but if he's elected for eight years, that could be a real thorn in your side.
We don't know yet what exists now.
Pardon me, folks, because I got to do some aeronautics inside baseball lingo here.
I had to fly out of here over the weekend, and I drove past Trump's plane on the way to EIB1.
And if Trump, and Trump's plane, if he were president, it would be Air Force One.
The way it's working now, and I don't want to too much of this away, but we're all given unique squawks that are going constantly and are the equivalent of a digital fingerprint.
And they have to be on the whole time.
There are no restrictions so far.
There haven't been any.
Now, what happens when Air Force One is on the ground instead of Trump One?
I don't know.
But nobody has alluded here to any impending dire consequences with it.
So not too worried about it.
And if I were to be granted an exemption, you would be the last to know.
If I get one, I would no way say so.
In fact, if you ask me if I got an exemption, I would say, what exemption?
Now, before you go here, Matt, we got to go, but what do you want?
You want an iPhone 7 or an iPhone 7 Plus?
Rush, God love you for everything you do.
I'll take a 7 Plus.
And who's your?
What's your carrier?
Verizon.
Verizon, what color you want?
Name your color.
Rose Gold.
Rose Gold, we got it.
We can set you up.
You sound just like Mike Pence.
Are you sure you're not Mike Pence just angry for you?
I've never heard that before, but I take that as a compliment.
You sound just like Pence on the phone anyway to me.
Remember, I'm deaf.
But you do sound like a hang up here, Mr. Snerdley.
We'll get your address, Rhodes Gold, Verizon 7 Plus.
We'll get it out today.
Be back here in just a second, folks.
You know, I take it back.
I've been reminded Trump called here on October 25th, and we did a 15 or 20-minute, no, it wasn't an interview.
We had a conversation.
It was during that conversation where I asked him about his continual reaction to critics.
And why do you just ignore them?
I mean, these people are Trump change out there.
And that's when he said, yeah, I know.
My advisors are telling me, don't waste my time.
But Rush, whenever somebody attacks me, somebody attacks my family, I'm not going to let it set in.
I'm not going to let it get planted and start growing out there.
I'm going to nuke it.
Somebody wounds me, I'm going to hit them back.
And you're right.
My advisors are telling me to forget it, but I just can't.
And it made news because the reason up to that point that people thought Trump was tweeting out all these reactions to small fry critics was that he was a narcissist and an egomaniac and just couldn't help himself.
And in fact, his answer explained the opposite.
It wasn't narcissism or ego.
It was an effort to do what he could to keep his name and his family from being destroyed and being impuged with lies.
And he has continued to do so.
The last example of this, what this little union guy up in Indiana, upset over the carrier deal, saying Trump was bragging about it too much.
And Trump reacted to him and basically told him to go get a screwdriver and put it where the sun doesn't shine.
And people, you can go president a while.
You can't start reacting to everyday citizens who criticize you.
And Trump said, hell with it.
The guy's wrong.
He's lying about me, and I'm not going to let it set in.
And that's just who he is.
But I had erred and said, last time I'd spoken to Trump was shortly after he had said of McCain that he was not impressed with military people who get captured.
And I'd forgotten that he had called here October 25th.
So I just want to set the record straight on that.
Sherry in Harrisburg, your next Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Wonderful to have you with us.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
Hello.
Merry Christmas.
Same to you.
One of our electors, one of our 20 electors, was recently on our local news, and he's receiving thousands and thousands of emails, letters, and phone calls threatening his life.
He's under state police protection right now.
And they're taking him back and forth to do this electoral college vote.
Where's the DOJ?
I know it's a federal issue.
Where are these people's protection?
Why is it falling on my tax dollars and my state police to protect this poor man?
Well, it's a good point, but I would take it even further than that, as I mentioned mere moments ago.
Why aren't these protesters being investigated for vote fraud, attempted vote fraud, and anything?
I mean, we continually hear from Democrats before elections and during campaigns that all kinds of vote fraud is out and the Republicans are going to cheat or this or that and the other thing, and they're constantly on guard for it.
And now here it is.
We have publicly viewable, witnessable voter fraud taking place right in front of our faces, and it is being applauded by the mainstream media, and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are encouraging it.
And if these people, if the roles were reversed, and if Hillary had won the Electoral College, and there were a bunch of people trying to harass and threaten electors into not voting for her, I guarantee you the New York Times would be leading the charge in personally investigating every protester and every elector.
And they would be doing everything they could to destroy these people.
And we would be hearing about how the threat to this constitutional gem should not be permitted.
The Electoral College is one of the brilliant creations of the founding fathers.
And these wanton political attacks are beneath the dignity of our country and our politics.
And they should not be permitted.
And these people's pictures should be on the front page.
And CNN would be putting them all on TV.
And they would be encouraging their neighbors to TP their houses and everything.
But since it's Trump electors that are being harassed by Hillary protesters, they're being encouraged.
The real question for me is where is the investigation into this obvious attempt at voter fraud?
And tampering.
It's tampering with the voting system by doing this.
Well, it's harassing.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
It's attempted to tamper with your vote.
It's a lie.
Yeah.
It's just horrific.
It is.
Horrific.
Anyway, okay, we're down to here in no time, Sherry.
So you tell me your preference of iPhone, iPhone 7 or 7 Plus?
A 7.
Cool.
All right.
What's your carrier?
Verizon.
Verizon.
Fine and dense.
Do you have a color preference?
White, if you have it.
I do.
Wonderful.
Well, wait a minute now.
You got three choices with white.
White on the front on the back is gold, rose gold or silver?
Silver.
It's a wise choice.
Thank you.
It's such one of my iPhones, in fact, is silver.
I've never had an iPhone.
This is a real treat.
Well, what kind of phone do you have now?
I have a generic flip phone, so I'm going to have to learn how to use it.
Oh, you're going to have more fun than a human being.
You're not going to believe what's a flip phone.
No.
The only place those are used are on TV shows now.
Hang on.
We'll have your address.
We need to get from you for Mr. Snertle.
He said, don't hang up.
And we'll be right back here, folks.
