(laughing) I just love this because they\u2019re typical young whippersnappers.&nbsp; They think they know everything and that Trump is this raging idiot.&nbsp; And so they recruit all the stats of what a Boeing 747 costs without factoring in the modifications necessary to make it an Air Force One.&nbsp; They don\u2019t know that there are two of them that are being bought.&nbsp; I mean, it\u2019s just funny.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">So here\u2019s the deal as it\u2019s currently understood.&nbsp; We\u2019re talking about the Boeing 747-8.&nbsp; That is the largest version of the Boeing 747.&nbsp; They are not selling well.&nbsp; Boeing has had to reduce production because orders for this plane are not what they had hoped.&nbsp; As with all Air Force Ones, there are two, and both travel on every presidential trip.&nbsp; One is either a decoy or a backup and the other is the primary.&nbsp; <\/line><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">But they both fly, because if one of them has a mechanical, you can\u2019t put the president on anything other than this airplane.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/line>\n<p>Trump cannot fly his own plane as president.&nbsp; He may try, but it doesn\u2019t have anywhere near the security, the avoidance technology for attacks, missile attacks and so forth, shielding for various kinds of other attacks to disrupt communications.&nbsp; Air Force One has a legitimate, fully outfitted operating room on board.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If the president is shot, rather than take him to a hospital, if it\u2019s close by they\u2019ll take him back to Air Force One. And they could even do some surgery, they wouldn\u2019t want to, in flight. But if they had to get out of there real quick and go someplace they could. I mean, Trump\u2019s plane simply doesn\u2019t have what the law requires for the president to be kept safe and secure, plus it\u2019s not big enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, some of the naysayers here say, &#8220;Well, Trump\u2019s just mad because he\u2019s not gonna get to fly on it because these two 747-8\u2019s are not gonna be ready for service \u2019til 2024.&#8221;&nbsp; So the tech blogs think Trump is just mad because they\u2019re not gonna get \u2019em built soon enough for him to use.&nbsp; That\u2019s not what\u2019s going on here.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_131589\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/TRUMPFORCE1_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">Now, the actual money involved, Trump says that the contract is $4 billion and that\u2019s just out of control, that\u2019s just irresponsible.&nbsp; We\u2019re wasting money here.&nbsp; Well, the actual contract details as best I\u2019ve been able to come up with are these.&nbsp; There are three contracts to get this whole production going, and the first three, which are the down payment, totals $169 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>The two brand-new Air Force Ones, according to Pentagon estimates that have been made public &#8212; now, there could be hidden costs, other things that haven\u2019t been made public, but the public cost of the brand-new two Air Force Ones is $165 billion. &nbsp;That\u2019s two-and-a-half billion short of Trump\u2019s four billion that he says Boeing is going to be paid.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Air Force announced this plan two years ago.&nbsp; They promised to use the most proven and advanced technologies and commercially certified equipment to keep costs under control.&nbsp; Remember, now, this is for two airplanes, not just one, and $165 billion is the published cost.&nbsp; However, there\u2019s much, much more going on here, ladies and gentlemen, than meets the eye.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The first item of interest is that the Pentagon, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/investigations\/pentagon-buries-evidence-of-125-billion-in-bureaucratic-waste\/2016\/12\/05\/e0668c76-9af6-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5_story.html?utm_term=.ea3b1786abdf\">Bob Woodward at the Washington Post<\/a> has an exclusive that the Pentagon has buried evidence of $125 billion in bureaucratic waste.&nbsp; This is not the $600 toilet seats.&nbsp; This is $125 billion being given to people and payments to support the existence of a bureaucracy that really has nothing to do with the defense of the country.&nbsp; It\u2019s just a bureaucracy supposedly out of control.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, we\u2019ve gotta take this under advisement, too, because it\u2019s the Washington Post, it\u2019s Bob Woodward, and the left automatically hates the Department of Defense.&nbsp; They despise \u2019em \u2019cause that\u2019s where we go to war. That\u2019s where the weapons of war are.&nbsp; And you know leftists and weapons of war, from guns on up to nuclear missiles, they just hate it all. They don\u2019t like it and they\u2019ve been trying to cut the Pentagon budget for years.&nbsp; It\u2019s interesting that this story comes out as Obama is on the way out even though it\u2019s been researched for a year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it interesting the Washington Post never published a story about bureaucratic waste at all for eight years under Obama and here we are on the verge of Trump being inaugurated and here comes this massive story of Pentagon waste. But we\u2019ll throw it in the mix because Trump is making the same case, $4 billion for two airplanes, it\u2019s ridiculous, we can\u2019t pay Boeing that much.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also, ladies and gentlemen, additional information. In addition to the Pentagon and this $125 billion, are you aware that Boeing donated one million &#8212; whoa.&nbsp; Boeing were huge underwriters of the Clinton Foundation.&nbsp; Boeing paid Bill Clinton a number of millions of dollars to go out there and do speeches.&nbsp; It could well be that Boeing is engaging in business overseas that Trump doesn\u2019t approve of, that he doesn\u2019t like.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He thinks Boeing ought to bring some of that business, some of those jobs back.&nbsp; It could also be that Trump is simply negotiating.&nbsp; This is what he does.&nbsp; If you\u2019ve read The Art of the Deal, you know that he will publicly negotiate. He will call out the people he\u2019s negotiating against, and it could well be that by calling Boeing out and claiming they\u2019re charging $4 billion, he\u2019s negotiating with them in public.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a whole lot here and the Drive-Bys are just treating this as the tweet and the tweet alone.&nbsp; &#8220;Look at Trump.&nbsp; He\u2019s out there ripping Boeing, $4 billion, Air Force One.&#8221;&nbsp; These are the kinds of things that experts are brought on TV to say, &#8220;This isn\u2019t done. This is not what happens in transitions. This is not presidential at all. This is embarrassing, got a president that doesn\u2019t even know what he\u2019s doing. These kind of discussions of contracts should be kept behind closed doors in private matters and so forth, not airing in public like this.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think you can rule out the fact that Boeing was dancing big and riding hard with the Clintons.&nbsp; The amount of money that Boeing donated to the Clintons &#8212; I had it right here in my Stack, and I must have thrown it away thinking it was a dupe of something that wasn\u2019t. I\u2019ll find it during the break here, but Boeing and the Clintons have been inseparable.&nbsp; A humongous amount of money that Boeing donated and expected Hillary to win.&nbsp; That\u2019s part and parcel.&nbsp; Boeing underwrote the Hillary presidential campaign by virtue of this campaign donation.&nbsp; Well, I don\u2019t know, charitable donation, whatever, to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation and hiring Bill to do speeches all over the world for 200 grand a pop.&nbsp; So it\u2019s much more going on here than anybody knows.&nbsp; Other people are accusing Trump in his ignorance of attacking Boeing\u2019s stock price and it\u2019s just unseemly, it\u2019s not right, it\u2019s not fair.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_131591\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Trump-Thoughts-Boeing-Clinton-Crime.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">One thing people are gonna have to understand about Trump:&nbsp; He\u2019s not stupid; he\u2019s not a bull in a china shop.&nbsp; You may end up disagreeing with him profoundly.&nbsp; You may not end up not liking him at all before this is over.&nbsp; I don\u2019t know.&nbsp; But he\u2019s not dumb, and he\u2019s not ignorant, and it\u2019s not that he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing.&nbsp; He knows exactly what he\u2019s doing and is doing it for a reason.&nbsp; He\u2019s doing this on purpose.&nbsp; There is an objective to this.&nbsp; The left just can\u2019t help themselves, though.&nbsp; They have to cast this guy&#8230;&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They have to portray him as somebody that\u2019s a walking mental midget, that literally has no idea what he\u2019s done here by winning the presidency, that has no idea how to talk, has no idea how to behave. They continue to make the mistake of plugging him into their model. They\u2019re plugging him into what they think an accomplished politician is, and he\u2019s not that, he\u2019s never been that, and he\u2019s not going to be that.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t want to a politician, successful or not. &nbsp;He is president and he\u2019s going to lead this country in the ways that he\u2019s being very open and honest about.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, let me take a brief time-out here.&nbsp; I\u2019ll find these exact Clinton numbers and get back to you we\u2019ll get started on the phones here fairly quickly as well.&nbsp; Sit tight.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here are the numbers, the Boeing numbers with the Clintons.&nbsp; By the way, also keep in mind, Boeing is in the middle of selling planes to Iran.&nbsp; Let me remind you about this.&nbsp; Remember the Corker Bill, folks.&nbsp; Senator Corker, Tennessee, came up with a bill during the time Obama was negotiating the nuclear deal with the Iranians, and the Corker Bill was presented to us as the way the Republicans in the Senate were going to be keep Obama honest and make sure that he didn\u2019t do anything nefarious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was a way of getting around the Senate having to vote on this as a treaty. It actually green-lighted Obama to do whatever kind of deal he wanted without the Senate being involved.&nbsp; That\u2019s what ticked everybody off.&nbsp; The Republicans told us that the Senate was not going to invoke the treaty clause and therefore require 60-some-odd votes in the Senate for passage of the Obama\u2019s deal.&nbsp; Instead, they did the Corker deal, and the Corker Bill was going to be a substitute way of the Republicans making sure Obama dotted all the T\u2019s and crossed all the I\u2019s.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was a&#8230; It was a&#8230; (sigh) Well, I\u2019m trying to think of another word for &#8220;lie.&#8221;&nbsp; We were misled.&nbsp; The Corker Bill and the deal was actually a green light for Obama, and we later came to find out why.&nbsp; We know that the Republican Party has become a pro-amnesty party because of donors. The Republican Party, as we discussed for the past number of years and really intensely during last year\u2019s campaign &#8212; the Republican Party &#8212; became more devoted to its donors, i.e., money than to its voters and their desires and ideas.&nbsp; And we couldn\u2019t figure out, &#8220;Why are the Republicans of all people facilitating nuclear deal with Iran?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why would the Republicans want their fingerprints on a deal that allows the world\u2019s state sponsor of terrorism to nuke up?&#8221;&nbsp; Well, it turns out it was Boeing.&nbsp; Not totally, but one of the reasons. Remember this, Mr. Snerdley?&nbsp; The Iranian national airline is essentially falling apart, and because of sanctions and freezing of their money in our banks, they haven\u2019t been able to modernize enough their infrastructure, including purchase new aircraft.&nbsp; So the Corker Bill was about getting the sanctions lifted and approving Obama\u2019s deal because Boeing wanted to go sell the Iranians new commercial airliners.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/06\/15\/see_i_told_you_so_1_the_republican_establishment_boeing_iran_nuke_deal\"><img id=\"eZObject_131590\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/sitys-Corker-Boeing.jpg\"\/><\/a>And they couldn\u2019t do that with sanctions in place.&nbsp; They couldn\u2019t make a deal.&nbsp; And so the Republicans were instrumental here in making it possible for Boeing, and Boeing had donated to Republicans to make this possible.&nbsp; You can\u2019t throw this here&#8230; You know how Trump is talking about the Iranian deal. He hates it!&nbsp; And don\u2019t think he doesn\u2019t know about all this.&nbsp; You know, Trump going out tweeting about $4 billion and Boeing and a new Air Force One? There\u2019s so much more behind this than what it\u2019s being portrayed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s a possibility here that Trump is really irritated at Boeing for helping facilitate the Iranian nuclear deal &#8212; or not.&nbsp; I mean, I\u2019m throwing out possibilities here. But I\u2019m telling you, something is going on.&nbsp; Here\u2019s the story of Boeing and the Clintons.&nbsp; Ready for this? In 2010, two months after Hillary went to Moscow to broker a $3.7 billion trade deal with Russia, &#8220;Boeing donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation&#8230; Then in July 2012, just months after the State Department helped it secure major deals in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, Boeing said it wanted to sponsor a speech by Bill Clinton&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bill Clinton was paid $250,000,&#8221; and Boeing also gave Hillary $166,735 in 2016 for her campaign.&nbsp; So Hillary Clinton as secretary of state had helped Boeing broker two deals, one in Russia (a $3.7 billion deal) which got them a $900,000 contribution to the Clinton Foundation, and in 2012 Boeing hired Bill to do a speech for a quarter mill &#8212; chump change compared to what they\u2019ve been sending Hilary. Plus, they sent about $170,000 in campaign donations.&nbsp; Trump knows all this.&nbsp; He\u2019s very much aware of the cronyism that\u2019s been going on.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now he\u2019s out saying&#8230; (telephone ringing) Hang on, folks.&nbsp; Somebody\u2019s calling me here.&nbsp; It\u2019s a wrong number.&nbsp; I heard something and said, &#8220;What the heck is that?&#8221;&nbsp; It sounded like a tech malfunction. I looked over and saw it was my phone.&nbsp; Did that sound like a phone ringing to you? (interruption) Okay.&nbsp; I did not lose my place.&nbsp; You thought it was some tech snafu, too, and were wondering what the hell was going on.&nbsp; I\u2019m sure you thought what are you doing wrong in there that I\u2019m gonna get mad at.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So Trump is very much aware of all this and goes out and publicly says, &#8220;We\u2019re throwing $4 billion away on this Air Force One plane.&#8221; He said, &#8220;Tear it up. Cancel the order.&#8221;&nbsp; Well, it\u2019s a little late to cancel the order, but I\u2019m telling you, folks, there is much, much more going on here than one little Trump tweet would indicate.&nbsp; I think you should use this as, eh, a little bit of a teachable moment.&nbsp; Trump is not the dummy.&nbsp; He\u2019s not ignorant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not the inexperienced bull in a china shop that they want you to believe he is.&nbsp; And as we\u2019ve just demonstrated here with this one little 140-character tweet about canceling the order for the new Air Force Ones because Boeing is charging too much, look at what all the backstory is.&nbsp; Boeing in Iran. Boeing in Russia. Boeing with the Clintons. This may not sit well with Trump.&nbsp; So the point is, there\u2019s always stuff going on behind a Trump tweet or a Trump story that you don\u2019t know.&nbsp; Trump is not a surface individual.&nbsp; There\u2019s more depth to him than anybody wants to acknowledge here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; You could buy sixty-five EIB One aircraft &#8212; sixty-five of \u2019em &#8212; for $4 billion.&nbsp; Ah, they\u2019re about 60, 65, depending on&#8230; Well, actually that would be a G650, but you could buy between 61 and 65 of \u2019em, depending on how you chose to outfit them and paint them and so on.&nbsp; A lot of money. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s much more to this than meets the eye when it comes to Trump and Boeing.&nbsp; He\u2019s just not out there tweeting for the hell of it.&nbsp; If you put it all together, folks, it makes perfect sense.&nbsp; Trump is not happy with the things that have been going on in this country, domestically, foreign policy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t like the Iranian nuke deal. He doesn\u2019t like any of Obama\u2019s trade deals. He doesn\u2019t like much of our foreign policy, and Boeing is in the thick of it.&nbsp; Boeing is right smack dab in the middle of many things.&nbsp; And so this tweet that Trump has put out there today is not just an idle Trump\u2019s gotta say something, he\u2019s bored kind of thing.&nbsp; There\u2019s obviously something very meaningful behind it. I tried to explain the details in the previous hour.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_131631\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Clinton-Boeing.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Here Bill\u2019s in Atlanta.&nbsp; You\u2019re next, sir.&nbsp; It\u2019s a delight to have you with us.&nbsp; Hi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Rush, it\u2019s a delight to be on.&nbsp; It\u2019s 27 years of dittos with you, so thank you very much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Wow.&nbsp; You\u2019ve been a long time.&nbsp; I appreciate that.&nbsp; I really do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; Oh, yes.&nbsp; I think it\u2019s absolute insanity what we\u2019re spending for the Secret Service and the budget in its entirety.

Whatever you got the most of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Okay, fine and dandy.&nbsp; We\u2019ll surprise you.&nbsp; But it\u2019s either gonna have a T-Mobile or an AT&#038;T SIM card in it, but it\u2019s unlocked.&nbsp; It\u2019ll work on T-Mobile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_131633\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/511713586_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER:&nbsp; Awesome.&nbsp; I mean, that\u2019s obviously very generous.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; You\u2019re more than welcome to it, and if you take it to their store, tell \u2019em it\u2019s unlocked. Well, tell \u2019em it\u2019s gift and take it in the box and that you want to move your T-Mobile number to it, and they\u2019ll happily take care of you.&nbsp; Hang on so we can get your address.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>All the networks are now doing in-depth reports on what-all goes into manufacturing Air Force One.&nbsp; Folks, I\u2019m gonna tell you, I think&#8230; (long pause) Well, let me&#8230; I\u2019m gonna hold it in reserve.&nbsp; I was gonna give Trump credit for a lot of stuff, but that may rub some people wrong so let me just hold it back.&nbsp; Ari Fleischer is out there.&nbsp; Now, see, this is what happens.&nbsp; Ari Fleischer says, &#8220;Hey, people tell me that there\u2019s no price tag on this contract yet, so Trump may not know what he\u2019s talking about.&#8221;&nbsp; They\u2019re making the mistake once again of&#8230; (sigh)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m trying to maintain any composure, because to me this is so easy.&nbsp; Who was it? Salena Zito said that Trump critics make the mistake of not taking him seriously but taking him literally.&nbsp; Trump supporters do take him seriously but not literally.&nbsp; Trump is a provocateur.&nbsp; Trump has all kinds of reasons for throwing that tweet out there by Air Force One and the contract cost at $4 billion.&nbsp; That\u2019s why I spent 20 minutes explaining the backstory here, that Boeing has times to Obama&#8230; You know Boeing relocated from Seattle to Chicago after Obama\u2019s election?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why the hell would Boeing move from Seattle?&nbsp; So they move to Chicago, they get in bed with the Obama administration, they donate money left and right to the Clintons. They\u2019re involved in the Iranian nuke deal.&nbsp; And look, that\u2019s fine, don\u2019t misunderstand.&nbsp; I\u2019ve taken a tour of Boeing, the jumbo jet factory out in Seattle when we were doing our program out there one time.&nbsp; I\u2019m fascinated by airplanes, aviation, the whole thing, and I have admiration for just the people that work at Boeing and the whole manufacturing process, the design, everything about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And Boeing is free to sidle up to whoever they want to politically. But it\u2019s obvious that the way Trump looks at the world, Boeing made some bad decisions, sidling up and assisting the Iranians? Trump doesn\u2019t think that\u2019s a good deal.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t think it was wise for&#8230; Hillary Clinton greased the skids for Boeing to go to a deal in Russia, and that\u2019s fine and dandy, except Boeing paid her back.&nbsp; Boeing was donating to her and her husband left and right.&nbsp; But there\u2019s much more going on here.&nbsp; They can do their exposes on what it casts to make Air Force One.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I guarantee you what the media is gonna be doing now is looking into the cost of Air Force One and the manufacturing, what all goes into it and asking how we\u2019re being ripped off and what does Trump that we don\u2019t know.&nbsp; And they\u2019re gonna miss what his real point with this is.&nbsp; They\u2019re gonna miss what he\u2019s doing, which I think they\u2019re gonna continue to do.&nbsp; Even friendly media at Fox is gonna miss this because they\u2019re not gonna interpret it properly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you know that Air Force One actually came in to being with JFK? He was the first president&#8230; In fact, the first plane JFK threw on when it was designated as a presidential plane was a Lockheed JetStar.&nbsp; And if you want to know who those were like, Auric Goldfinger owned one in the Bond movie.&nbsp; At the end of the movie when Goldfinger\u2019s jet\u2019s going down with Pussy Galore in there and they\u2019re all parachuting out and Bond is trying to save the day, that\u2019s a Lockheed JetStar.&nbsp; And it was deemed&#8230; You know, Eisenhower flew on one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_131634\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/627024940_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">It was deemed just for whatever reason, insignificant, not safe enough, large enough. So they defined a Boeing 707, and that lasted through Reagan, from 1960 some odd all the way to 1989. I mean, George H. W. Bush was the first president that got the Boeing 747s that are currently being flown as Air Force One.&nbsp; So now they\u2019re in the process of upgrading.&nbsp; These are 30 years old.&nbsp; They\u2019re completely air worthy.&nbsp; But the line is that it now takes so much time and money to keep them maintained in tip-top shape, and there are two of them, and they go on every trip.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>One is a backup in case of a mechanical, and the other sometimes is used as a decoy.&nbsp; They\u2019re both equally outfitted, and they\u2019ve got 30 years on \u2019em, and they\u2019re nearing their life span, so this new Boeing deal delivers these two new planes in 2024.&nbsp; Trump\u2019s not even gonna fly on \u2019em.&nbsp; But there\u2019s so much more going on with this little tweet of his, and we\u2019ve done our best to help you understand all the possibilities and all of the vagaries.&nbsp; But now they\u2019re gonna be doing stories on why does it cost so much and the systems, and they can\u2019t tell you half of it because of security concerns and privacy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, trust me.&nbsp; They have shielding from electromagnetic pulse; they have technology that would protect the plane as best it could, anyway, from surface-to-air missiles, because the airplane itself cannot take evasive action and stay put together.&nbsp; The G-forces would destroy it; it doesn\u2019t have the maneuverability to do it anyway. So they have to have some other method.&nbsp; The communication system, worldwide satellite, infrared, all kinds of&#8230; The president cannot ever be out of communication and has to be able to survive a nuclear attack.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Air Force One is shielded in case a nuclear detonation occurs somewhere.&nbsp; Passengers would survive the radiation.&nbsp; If it was in the middle of an explosion, no, but it would survive the radiation. If it were not near the explosion but the radiation cloud spread, it would survive. The passengers could survive inside because of the radiation shield.&nbsp; It\u2019s phenomenal what is in these airplanes and the technology that\u2019s there.&nbsp; And a lot of it\u2019s still classified that we don\u2019t even know exists.&nbsp; There\u2019s a full-fledged operating room on Air Force One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I mean, a genuine hospital-type operating room.&nbsp; You\u2019ve gotta have doctors and nurses on board if you\u2019re gonna have an operating room.&nbsp; It\u2019s massive. (interruption) Kitchen? The galley you mean?&nbsp; I mean, there\u2019s two or three of them. There\u2019s three or four levels in these planes.&nbsp; That\u2019s why it fascinates me.&nbsp; You know what fascinates me about technology, both this and anything is the brainpower that has to exist &#8212; like writing software or designing something to anticipate problems that haven\u2019t happened &#8212; and to build in solutions to those problems that haven\u2019t happened.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You have to anticipate what the problems might be.&nbsp; For example, bear with me.&nbsp; I\u2019ll give you one example of what I\u2019m talking about here.&nbsp; It\u2019s not the best, but the space shuttle, or any rocket launch.&nbsp; We used to have two different launch pads.&nbsp; One was at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and of course, Cape Canaveral. Do you know that it took much more thrust and power to launch from Vandenberg than Cape Canaveral? (interruption) You did?&nbsp; Do you know why?&nbsp; The earth is rotating. It\u2019d take more thrust at Vandenberg.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_131635\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/624133456_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">The earth is rotating faster at the quarter as you get close to the equator, faster in Florida than it is in California and in Nevada.&nbsp; And the rotation of the earth is its own boost. Before you even add power, there\u2019s a degree of boost.&nbsp; And the von Brauns of the world and the Oppenheimers had to figure this all out.&nbsp; It takes much more power to get a rocket into space the farther north you go, because the earth rotating around its axis is going slower.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>You might say, &#8220;Wait a minute, the earth is one thing. It\u2019s one ball, and it\u2019s all rotating.&#8221;&nbsp; Yes, but at equator, for example, for the earth to travel the same distance that, say, it travels up in the latitude, longitude of New York. The equator has to go a lot farther, so it\u2019s going faster.&nbsp; And that speed gives rocket launches a bigger boost, so it takes less rocket fuel.&nbsp; That\u2019s why the launches occurred in Florida and not further north.&nbsp; Well, there\u2019s no way under the sun I would ever&#8230; I wouldn\u2019t even conceive of a possibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I had to read that and learn that somewhere.&nbsp; Those are the kinds of things that dazzle me that you\u2019ll find in your iPhone or that you\u2019ll find in your computer or whatever high-tech gadget you use, or a modern-day fully loaded airplane, like Air Force One, and it\u2019s just amazing.&nbsp; And these things cost.&nbsp; It costs money to figure these out and plan for them, to incorporate them. So this $4 billion price tag\u2019s probably high, but Trump\u2019s reason for doing this&#8230; Oh, they\u2019re also saying, &#8220;Trump\u2019s trying to destroy the Boeing stock price!&#8221; Boeing stock price is down pennies.&nbsp; That\u2019s not what this is about. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &nbsp;Let\u2019s now head to the Donald Trump Air Force One tweet.
