I\u2019ve asked Joe up at the audio booth here to get me some audio. The president is announcing federal government plans to deal with the flight delays, the overcrowded planes and so forth, and to listen to him go through it and look at the facial expressions that he\u2019s using. I\u2019m going to have trouble&#8230; I\u2019m not laughing. I\u2019m just amazed at this on a number of levels. It\u2019s good and he\u2019s telling the airlines what-for: <emphasize>You people that are responsible for moving people around, you understand there are going to be consequences if you fail to do it. <\/emphasize>Now, one of the things that he\u2019s proposing: If you get bumped off a flight because it\u2019s oversold, and you have to wait more than two hours, they give you 400 bucks. With Bush\u2019s plan, we\u2019re going to make it $800. If you miss by a day it\u2019s going to go up to four figures. They\u2019re going to have to reimburse you. We need to have consensus here for these carriers who are not making due on commitments on what they\u2019re promising people, get \u2019em from point A to point B. We\u2019re going to put kiosks up. We\u2019re going to put extra baggage handlers in there. We\u2019re going to put new ticketing locations up. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"377\" height=\"259\" class=\"alignright\"\/>The president of the United States is telling the air system how the hell it\u2019s going to run! People are fed up with this. They are totally fed up with it. I hear complaints constantly, and I know that you experience them. Snerdley experiences them. Thanksgiving is what\u2019s driving all of this, the expected number of travelers. Another thing that they\u2019re going to do is order the FAA to open unused military airspace to commercial flights. That will help reduce delays caused by weather and holiday congestion. Have you ever wondered why &#8212; maybe you\u2019ve never even cared &#8212; let\u2019s say you\u2019re on your airline flight, and you\u2019re either 33 or 35 or 37 and maybe 39,000 feet, you\u2019re never at 32, you\u2019re never at 34. Some of that is military space and they require a thousand feet between flights that are intersecting. It\u2019s east to west and west to east, they determine altitudes, but the even numbered altitudes &#8212; somebody that\u2019s an expert will probably correct me on this if I\u2019m wrong &#8212; but I think even numbered altitudes are reserved for noncommercial use, military and that sort of thing. Plus certain low altitudes as well are reserved for military, and of course the commercials don\u2019t want to go down there, think you burn up too much fuel flying low. You need to get up there where the air is thin, burn less fuel and cause less global warming because it takes less energy to go through thin air, to fly through thin air. <\/p>\n<p>But it was just fascinating to me to listen to this, the detail with which the president is taking over this system that is out of control. Now, I understand the problem but I have another take on this &#8212; or an additional take, not an opposite take. Having to fly anywhere these days is not glamorous like it used to be, it\u2019s not fun. The stress, of course, is heading to the airport, not even knowing if your plane\u2019s going to be there, not even knowing if it\u2019s going to leave on time &#8212; oh, that\u2019s another thing. They\u2019re setting up a website. I want to see this work. The federal government setting up a website, the president read off the website. The feds are going to have a website that anybody can go to to determine whether their flight is on time. It\u2019s www.fly.FAA.gov. That\u2019s what it is: fly.faa.gov (interruption) No, can\u2019t crash a federal government server. But people are going to go there and I want to see that work. <\/p>\n<p>If the federal government can keep a website with flight delays updated nationwide, I have to see this happen. The airlines in their own individual websites where you can check and see if a flight\u2019s on time, and sometimes you don\u2019t trust what you see there because you don\u2019t know how often it\u2019s being updated. I want to see this work. But, however, you know, me, folks, I try to find the positive in this as much as I can. We\u2019re heading into the holidays here and we\u2019ve got the usual Drive-By hysteria about safety and congestion, and it\u2019s the biggest travel day of the year. But the fact of the matter is, why is all that a factor? It is a factor because people are spending the money to fly places! People have the money to do that, and they have and are taking the time. People want to go places, they want to see their family or friends, or in some cases get away from their family and friends, but regardless they\u2019re on the move. People are not fearful. They just want the system to work. <\/p>\n<p>So this is a testament here to the growing economy, the fact that the people want to use the air traffic system to get where they\u2019re going and have the money to do it, is what is creating some of this. And, by the way, I think you give the Bush administration some credit for this. Why are so many people flying without fear? Because there haven\u2019t been any more hijackings since 9\/11. You gotta put up with a lot of grief when you go check in and so forth, and it\u2019s kind of embarrassing to watch some 80-year-old grandmother get strip-searched, but, you know, it is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want you to hear these audio sound bites from President Bush today that happened about an hour ago announcing all these new things to try to ease the traffic crunch over Thanksgiving. We have two bites. Here is the first.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: One of the reasons we have a sense of urgency about this issue is that these problems that we\u2019ve been discussing are clear to anybody who has been traveling. Airports are very crowded, travelers are being stranded, and flights are delayed, sometimes with a full load of passengers sitting on the runway for hours. These failures carry some real costs for the country, not just in the inconvenience they cause, but in the business they obstruct and family gatherings they cause people to miss. We can do better. We can have an aviation system that is improved, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think one of the things that amazed me about this was here\u2019s the president standing in the White House today just waiving a magic wand, we\u2019re going to fix this, I\u2019m fed up with all this, I\u2019m fed up with delays, I\u2019m having all these complaints, I\u2019m tired of the news with these people stranded on airplanes on runways for four and five hours; I\u2019m just going to fix it. I will be eager to see it. I hope it does get fixed. Here\u2019s a list of some of the improvements or things that they\u2019re going to change.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: I want to announce a series of preliminary actions to help address the epidemic of aviation delays. First, the military will make available some of its airspace over the East Coast for use by civilian airliners this Thanksgiving. These new routes will help relieve air congestion from Maine to Florida for nearly five full days surrounding the holiday. Second, the FAA is taking new measures to head off delays, a holiday moratorium on all nonessential projects so that the FAA can focus its personnel and equipment exclusively on keeping flights on time. The FAA is also partnering with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to reduce bottlenecks in the New York metro area, which is the source of most chronic delays. Third, the Department of Transportation and the FAA are encouraging airlines to take their own measures to prevent delays. Airlines have agreed to make more staff available to expedite check-in and boarding, to set aside extra seats and even extra planes to help accommodate passengers affected by cancellations and delays. They agreed to bring in additional ticket kiosks and baggage handling gear, as well as rolling staircases. Fourth, the federal government is using the Internet to provide real time updates on flight delays. People in America have gotta know there\u2019s a website called fly.FAA.gov. It\u2019s where the FAA transmits information on airport backups directly to passengers and their families.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He also made a big point about the airlines facing consequences if they don\u2019t get people where they\u2019re headed on time. Right now if you miss a flight and you\u2019re bumped off a flight because you\u2019re oversold, they oversold the plane, it\u2019s two hours before you get your next flight, you are compensated with $400. They\u2019re going to double that. The proposal is to double that to $800. Of course, we\u2019re going to get more skycaps. We\u2019re going to get more skycaps, we\u2019re going to have to more ticket kiosks, more baggage handlers. Of course. I\u2019m still trying to get my arms around my reaction to this, to be able to express it to you. Because the problem\u2019s been around for a long, long time and people have been complaining about it for a long, long time. Nobody\u2019s really done anything about it. So here is the president of the United States &#8212; this is the equivalent, folks, of fixing potholes in terms of what his job is. But you know what they say about mayors who get the potholes repaired, they get reelected. <\/p>\n<p>I think that if Bush actually pulls this off, if he is able to alleviate all this travel crunch because this really bothers people, if he\u2019s able to get out in front of this and make this work this Thanksgiving, this is the kind of real, applied, visible government success that people want to see. If this works &#8212; I know he\u2019s not on the ballot, don\u2019t misunderstand &#8212; but it\u2019s going to help in a lot of ways. I know there\u2019s some other things that those who travel a lot commercially and go through these terminals would like to have that the president didn\u2019t mention. Better seats in the airport lounges, more sockets for laptops, charging stations for mobile phones, soundproof rooms for screaming kids so you can get them the hell out of there, but they can only do so much. This is not about comfort in the terminal, because the idea is to get you in and out of the terminal as quick as possible, get you on your airplane, get your airplane to where you\u2019re going as quick as possible, and if they succeed in doing this, mark my words, this is going to foster more goodwill with people than a lot of these nameless, faceless programs that get discussed on a daily basis. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right, back to the phones, to San Francisco, this is John. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Good morning, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi, John.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Or good San Francisco morning to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, are you familiar with a movie called Oklahoma Crude? It was released back in the 1960s. [sic &#8211; 1973]<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay, there was a great line in there which I think describes Senator Clinton perfectly. Jack Palance says to her, &#8216;That\u2019s just like a woman. She wants to be treated like one of the boys, and when she is, she cries.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughter) See, it\u2019s movie lines like that that gave us Eleanor Squeal and Gloria Steinem and started the feminist movement.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Be that as it may, I think it describes Senator Clinton perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wants to be treated like one of the boys, and when she is, she cries.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughter) Who else was in this movie? Do you recall?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, Faye Dunaway and Jack Palance and George C. Scott.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wow, what a cast. What\u2019s the name of this again?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oklahoma Crude.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oklahoma Crude &#8212; was it a good movie?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Fairly good. I think maybe it rates about two and a half or three stars.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Any oil spills in it?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, actually &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good, good.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; there was. Faye Dunaway\u2019s oil well struck oil, but it was just a pocket and then petered out. She was trying to be driven off her land by the big, bad oil barons which were represented by Jack Palance, and that line came up when they were physically abusing her.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Physically abusing her in a movie &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; in 1960?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And that\u2019s why she began crying.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now, wait a second.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, wait &#8212; no woman wants to be physically abused. That\u2019s not what being one of the boys is.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, back in 1905 when this was supposed to take place, you know, things like that are going to happen. It\u2019s unfortunate, but it does.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Did.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Or did.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, no, it still does, but we don\u2019t define that as being one of the boys.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, they did it to the boys, too.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, but the boys didn\u2019t cry, is the point.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, the boys didn\u2019t cry.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And her poor little oil well petered out. (laughter) I gotta get this movie. I gotta find out.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You have to. It\u2019s really very entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: John, thanks for the call.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You\u2019re welcome. Thank you very much, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ll be back after this. I\u2019m heading to the website here to see if I can find Oklahoma Crude.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I just got a note from a friend who has a whole different take on Bush trying to fix the travel system over the Thanksgiving holidays. &#8216;This is a gift to Democrats, Rush. You don\u2019t get it. Every time a flight\u2019s late it\u2019s going to be Bush\u2019s fault now, since he\u2019s put himself on the line to fix it. It\u2019s something new to blame on him if they don\u2019t have anything left. Every time Jerrold Nadler now gets a bag of stale peanuts on a Delta shuttle from New York to Washington he\u2019ll want Henry Waxman to launch an investigation into Halliburton and if Boeing or American Airlines gave Bush any money to do this.\u2019 Over a bag of stale peanuts on a Delta shuttle. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>Dick in Kuttawa, Kentucky, I hope I\u2019m pronouncing that right, welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s Kuttawa, Kentucky, Rush, and thanks for taking my call. We\u2019re just downriver from your hometown.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, so you\u2019re not far from Paducah, then.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s 35 miles southeast.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: All right. I\u2019m a retired air traffic controller.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Which means you still have your sanity.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) Oh, it was a fun job, I\u2019ll tell you. I had 35 years of fun going to work. I wanted to explain to you how the altitudes are assigned above 18,000. A thousand feet of separation up to flight level two-nine-zero. Above that it\u2019s 2,000 feet of separation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, it is? I thought they\u2019d lowered it to a thousand. Maybe they\u2019re trying to upgrade the system so they can do that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I went to work for a contractor after I retired in 1989, and just before I retired from them, they were testing going to a thousand feet of separation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. What is it now, flight level one-eight-zero, what\u2019s the separation?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: A thousand feet up to flight level two-nine-zero.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And then from there it\u2019s 2,000 feet of separation. The reason being, everybody has to use the standard altimeter, 2992.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And so at the speeds they\u2019re traveling, they\u2019re traveling over areas where there\u2019s a wide variance of the local altimeter, so their altitude is actually fluctuating. They\u2019re not flying exactly level at, say, flight level three-one-zero.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, because of the terrain.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, no, it\u2019s the local altimeter that\u2019s affecting them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, you mean so they\u2019re actually &#8212; those guys, like sine curve, they\u2019re actually going up-and-coming down within a 2,000-foot range?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, well, see, they never get closer, say, than 1800 feet, but there\u2019s a fluctuation because they\u2019re all on altimeter 2992.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right, gotcha. Now, a minor correction, that was a minor mistake of mine.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Nothing really to &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, we can\u2019t send you to jail for that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, but explain to people who owns the even-numbered altitudes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, nobody. Well, the FAA owns them in FAA-controlled airspace. It\u2019s just not used.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They don\u2019t assign anybody? Well, one of the things they\u2019re going to do on the East Coast is open up military airspace to commercial for five days. What\u2019s military airspace?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, there are a couple of military operating areas along the coast. In fact, one of the facilities I worked at, I worked down in Norfolk, Virginia, and also Washington air route air traffic control center. There are, from Virginia down, a number of military operating areas that civil aircraft cannot go into. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Are you talking about airspace?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, airspace.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So they\u2019re going to relax that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I gotcha. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And in some cases it causes dog legs or they have to go out of their way to get where they\u2019re going.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, it\u2019s like you can\u2019t flay over Cape Canaveral days before or after a launch.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. All right, look, I appreciate that, Dick. Thanks much for the phone call. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I listen to you every day.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I appreciate it. That makes my day. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I am watching something and, for some reason, I find this just amazing.
