It literally pains me. But, my friends, I\u2019m not gonna be here tomorrow or Friday. And it pains me. And I\u2019m not gonna be here Monday. And it pains me. I have to be gone the next three days for professional and business reasons that are all good. They are meetings and events that do not ever occur on weekends. They only occur during the week. I had to do this last year. This may be an annual thing, by the way, this one.<\/p>\n<p>It pains me because I love being here, and this is the hottest time to be alive doing what we\u2019re doing here. I know it\u2019s gonna be here when I get back, but I just&#8230; It pains me. I&#8230; (interruption) No, it hasn\u2019t slowed down. That\u2019s my point. It\u2019s not gonna slow down. Traditionally when I\u2019m not here, things do slow down. So I wanted to make sure I got this out and told you before the very end of the program today. Who do we have? (interruption) Oh, so Mark Steyn will be filling in each of the three days.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll be here tomorrow and Friday and Monday. Monday has been forced on me. Monday, I just happened to be alluding one day to something big happening on Monday, and so the staff went out and got a guest host without my actual command to do so, and then came in and they told me they had a guest host. I said, &#8220;I don\u2019t need the day.&#8221; They said, &#8220;Too late. We\u2019ve made the financial commitment to the guest host. It\u2019s nonrefundable; so we\u2019re stuck.&#8221; Well, if that\u2019s the case, that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  I have to be gone the next three days for professional and business reasons that are all good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
