RUSH: This is Mike in Canton, North Carolina. You\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (static throughout) Thanks, Rush. I appreciate you taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir. Any time. Any time at all.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I have two things for you today. One is a tech question about the app, and the other is a comment about the New Deal.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Green New Deal?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The Green New Deal. Which one would you like?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, go with the tech question first.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Well, my wife and I live in one of those austere places way off the beaten path. The best internet we can get is DSL, and one of the best ways to watch or get your show on the 24\/7 would be the Apple TV, for us. But there is no app for the Apple TV.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know, and, you know (chuckles) I saw your question up there, and I debated two things: A, whether to take your call or have Snerdley thank you, and then whether or not to be truthful with you about this. (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have wanted an Apple TV version of the RushLimbaugh.com app<\/a> for I can\u2019t tell you how many months. I am not a developer, meaning I don\u2019t write code. We have to farm that out.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And I\u2019m being told something I don\u2019t believe. I\u2019m being told that it would cost $500,000 to write an app for the Apple TV, and I simply don\u2019t believe it. If that were the case, there wouldn\u2019t be as many as there are. The CARROT Weather service would not have an Apple TV app if it cost $500,000 to do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not only that, I want the RushLimbaugh.com on CarPlay so that you can listen to it on your phone via the internet driving around through your car\u2019s audio system, and I\u2019m told that costs $250,000. I know what some of you are thinking. “Rush, how can you be a prisoner to this? You are Rush Limbaugh. Just order it done!” Well, folks, it\u2019s a little bit more complicated than that, but I\u2019m really hell-bent on getting a Rush Limbaugh app on the Apple TV. What do you watch most on Apple TV?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: Actually… Well, we use our Apple TV with Plex, which serves movies up to us from our own server.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Have you purchased a streaming service like DirecTV Now or YouTube TV or any of that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I have… Uh, it\u2019s complicated.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you have cable?<\/p>\n

CALLER: We do not. We can\u2019t get cable. We are 950 feet from the nearest cable whatever you want to call it — part of the plant — and they say they can\u2019t run cable to our house without running a trunk down to somewhere near the house.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s probably true. That\u2019s how it was in all small towns when cable was getting going, until they actually got it built out. Well, so, how do you watch TV? Do you watch Fox News, for example?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>CALLER: We do, but once again, it\u2019s complicated. We have a rental that we buy cable for and that we can actually sign in to watch Fox News through the subscription for the rental.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I got you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So we got an Airbnb type of thing. It\u2019s complicated, Rush. But your Rush 24\/7, we\u2019ve been members since you first started it, and it is something that we take advantage of when we are traveling to go see the kids in the car.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, let me tell you something. I\u2019m appreciative of you saying that. It is the best way to access this program when you\u2019re on the go, right there on your device. All you need is a decent, halfway decent internet connection. If you\u2019re a subscriber, you\u2019ve got the Dittocam<\/a>, you\u2019ve got archives of all this stuff, you\u2019ve got the podcasts. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve redesigned it and built it up and we\u2019ve really tried to make the user interface as intuitive and fun as possible. But, man, you\u2019ve hit kind of a sore spot with me.<\/p>\n

Because not only do I want a RushLimbaugh.com Apple TV app, I want it on CarPlay<\/a> as well. I want it everywhere that people are accessing content. Now, you could use AirPlay on the app if you\u2019re a subscriber, video or audio. You could AirPlay<\/a> the video or audio to your Apple TV, but I would much rather have the direct app that features the live Dittocam every day and then archives of it. Someday it\u2019s gonna happen. It\u2019s just a matter of things I can\u2019t get into here. But in some cases it\u2019s priority. The same thing with the CarPlay app.<\/p>\n

I want to get on the cutting edge and the front edge of this stuff, because content is king — content, content, content — with the changes rapidly coming in distribution. It used to be people watched cable TV. Cord cutting is happening at a massive rate. These streaming services that you can buy for Apple TV or Roku or whatever service, whatever streaming box you use… I just saw that PlayStation Vue<\/a> is one of them. It\u2019s owned by Sony. PlayStation Vue just today dropped an update that allows you to watch four channels at one time on one screen.<\/p>\n

I mean, the tech here is exploding.<\/p>\n

So on your screen you could have CNN (if you wanted), then Fox over here, then PMSNBC, or you could have — during March Madness — two or three games at one time if you have a package on PlayStation Vue that covers these things. YouTube… They all have cloud DVR so you can record programs and watch \u2019em later, and it\u2019s all done in the cloud. This is what people are signing up for as they cut the cord from cable, and you\u2019ll want to be there. You want your content to be there. We\u2019re constantly striving for it. Now, the other question that you asked…? What was the other question you asked?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. It wasn\u2019t really a question. It was a comment on how we could get to the Millennials about the Green New Deal because what a lot of people don\u2019t realize is that tractors and tractor-trailers aren\u2019t the only thing involved in getting food to markets that comes from petroleum. Your fertilizers, most of your insecticides, the reality is that the world is fed by petroleum —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I have been thinking about this too. I have a lifetime, 30 years on this program, of attempting to penetrate skulls full of mush on this whole subject of climate change and global warming and all. And I have found, Mike, that in the example of the Green New Deal, your way is of course impeccable. It is incontrovertibly true how much petroleum is a factor in daily life, including eating.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But my experience has been that going down that road ends up in a bunch of foggy deer-in-the-headlight eyes, and it\u2019s not the way to persuade people who have an emotional connection to what they think is something that\u2019s going to save their lives, i.e., by saving the planet. But it\u2019s very tempting to get in the mud.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always argued with climate scientists on our side who want to take issue with some of the climate scientists on their side. I\u2019ve said, “Do you realize you\u2019re accepting their premise when you start rebutting their science. Their science is manufactured and made up! It\u2019s nothing but computer models. You\u2019re not gonna persuade anybody but trying to tell \u2019em that your science is superior to theirs because they have an emotional attachment to that science. They don\u2019t know what the science is. They just believe that the earth is being destroyed by United States of America, primarily by Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n

So how do you do it? You\u2019ve got to get out of the weeds and the minutia and you have to start trying to convince them what their life is gonna be like if they get what they want. And you can include how much they\u2019re gonna pay in tax, but you also include how their life is gonna change, that 90% of the creature comforts they come to take for granted and expect, if we actually did this Green New Deal, would vanish and would end.<\/p>\n

And then list them one by one by one. And even then, I wonder how successful anybody\u2019s gonna be at changing their minds because this is youthful, almost religious attachment, to something. It\u2019s not the result of reason. It\u2019s not the result of thinking. There\u2019s nothing intellectual about their attachment to this issue. It\u2019s all “I, me, my.” It\u2019s all about them, and it\u2019s all about the world ending before they have a chance to live their lives.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s a real challenge to get to them. The greatest thing that\u2019s gonna change their minds is age, but people who don\u2019t want to wait for that to happen still want to take their best shot at it, as do I each and every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
