And let me tell you what some of the surprising feedback I\u2019ve gotten is. Snerdley walked in here today. He said, &#8220;You won\u2019t believe this.&#8221; I said &#8220;I bet I will.&#8221; He said, &#8220;I have a friend, African-American, who knows who you are, never listened to you on the radio \u2019cause you\u2019re all these horrible, rotten things. Saw you on Hannity, can\u2019t believe what a great guy you are, can\u2019t believe you think exactly what she thinks!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-249215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/650-100217-Rush-and-Sean-Hannity-s.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/650-100217-Rush-and-Sean-Hannity-s.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/650-100217-Rush-and-Sean-Hannity-s-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>She was blown away. She was stunned, \u2019cause it was nothing like what she had been led to believe or thought, combination of led to believe or thought on her own. Is that pretty much accurate? Did she say she was gonna start listening now? Blown away. Look, it\u2019s 29 years. I guess false impressions and images have a long life span. But I\u2019ve run into a couple of reactions, not from the actual people who had them, people like you telling me that they knew people who of course knew who I am. I\u2019m almost too famous to go on TV, to tell you the truth. And they know of me, but they don\u2019t know me, and they watched it, and they were stunned. Isn\u2019t 29 years long enough to learn the truth about anybody?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-248766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/SIZED-Rush-and-Sean-Hannity-C.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/SIZED-Rush-and-Sean-Hannity-C.jpg 605w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/SIZED-Rush-and-Sean-Hannity-C-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>RUSH: I was gonna do this first thing out of the box here, but the event and incident in Las Vegas sidetracked me, but I wanted to take a moment here and thank from the bottom of my heart Sean Hannity. He was here, his whole crew was in here last Thursday and they were here for about an hour and a half. And everybody, kind of like a reunion, the commie babe makeup artist from my TV show, Debra, was here. And my niece who is on Sean\u2019s staff and, as he says, is a &#8212; well, she\u2019s just knocking it out of the park, he says, and we\u2019re all so appreciative of that.<\/p>\n<p>But the things that he said about me during the course of that interview I didn\u2019t realize at all \u2019til I was watching it. When you\u2019re in the middle of being interviewed, you\u2019re aware of it, but your attention\u2019s all, &#8220;Okay, where is this going? What\u2019s the question from this gonna be?&#8221; And it wasn\u2019t \u2019til I watched it on <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/09\/29\/rush-on-hannity-part-two\/\">Friday night<\/a> and noted how overwhelmingly well he treated me, I\u2019m not used to it. I\u2019m not used to all of the nice things that he said, and I just wanted to take a moment here and offer a sincere thank you to Sean personally and to the whole Fox crew that were here.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/plugins\/rush-ampmedia\/views\/external-player.php\/43265\/79876?id=4255636\" width=\"650\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now, people have asked about the ratings. You know, folks, I\u2019m not the one to tell you. But they were really, really, really good. Sean\u2019s average total audience &#8212; I don\u2019t think this counts DVD replay, DVR, I\u2019m not sure. I think it\u2019s the live audience for the 9 o\u2019clock show. Might be including the midnight replay, but I don\u2019t think so. His average audience for the week was 3.4 million, and Thursday night we had 3.75 million. It was the top night of the week.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what Friday\u2019s numbers were. The week is considered Monday-<a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/09\/28\/rush-on-hannity\/\">Thursday<\/a> because <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/09\/29\/rush-on-hannity-part-two\/\">Friday<\/a> is not a school night, as they say, people are out and about, smoking weed, getting drunk, debauchery and that kind of stuff, not at home as much. But it was good. Everything about it was just first class and it was enjoyable and it was fun, and I just wanted to offer sincere thanks to Sean. He said some incredibly supportive and nice things. Yes, they had the added benefit of being true, and they are never said. Snerdley sitting here coaching me on what to say. &#8220;Yeah, nobody ever says it, either.&#8221; Except Sean did. That\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/plugins\/rush-ampmedia\/views\/external-player.php\/43265\/79899?id=4255636\" width=\"650\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So I think it exceeded &#8212; I don\u2019t know what expectations were ratings-wise, but I think it exceeded them. It was the high for the week, which everybody\u2019s gratified by it. I don\u2019t know if you can tell, but I\u2019m kind of a little nervous being the one to say so. It\u2019s been published, but in trade publications. And in the trade publications they acknowledge, they can\u2019t ignore that I was there, but that\u2019s about as far as they go, \u2019cause in the trade they\u2019re not happy with the result. They\u2019re not happy with Hannity being number one over MSNBC, and they\u2019re really not happy that I had anything to do with it, to whatever even small degree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;m not used to all of the nice things that he said, and I just wanted to take a moment here and offer a sincere thank you to Sean personally and to the whole Fox crew that were here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":249217,"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 -
