RUSH: Randy, Toledo, Ohio, thanks for waiting. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure. I\u2019m actually in Toledo, Illinois.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sorry, you\u2019re right, I misread that, I didn\u2019t have my specs on.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It happens a lot. People don\u2019t know there\u2019s actually a Toledo, Illinois.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, our call screener finds the Syracuse, Indianas, the Peoria, Arizonas. I never heard of these places, and I didn\u2019t know that Illinois had a Toledo.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it\u2019s about 1,300 people, so I can understand why.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, the reason I called is because my family is supported by the pork industry. Very little right now, because of the situation, and I have to bring up something. I listen to you daily, on a daily basis. We just have talk radio here, and I just got here recently in the last six months, and I love the fact that you\u2019re on. You are such a fresh breath of air for this area that we definitely needed considering we get most of our talk radio out of WLS in Chicago. But where I have to take a little bit of, you know, umbrage with you is on the fact that you\u2019re always saying pig flu and swine flu.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I know why you say it because that\u2019s the way it\u2019s propagandized —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it\u2019s really not. I know it\u2019s N1H1. I just, as a professional highly trained broadcast specialist, I just like the way ‘pig flu\u2019 sounds.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It does roll off the tongue very well I will admit that but, you know, there are many people — I really truly believe there\u2019s a lot of educated people that listen to your program mostly —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know and you\u2019re worried that they think they\u2019re going to get this N1H1 if they eat some bacon or a pork chop.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: When I talked to your screener he\u2019s like I know that chicken is up and beef is up as far as sales and pork is down and the pork dollars are down, and it\u2019s so funny that whenever it\u2019s something bad within our history they always talk about pigs and pork and swine, you know, we talk about the Porkulus package that you talked about and all those things —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait a second, you\u2019re taking it a little too personally, but I grant you, I grant you it could be damaging to refer to the N1H1 as the pig flu. I will do my best. A habit has started here so I may slip up a couple more times. I\u2019ll do my best to refrain in the future.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I agree that pig flu is probably over the top. I can get away with swine flu. I mean, the only people who aren\u2019t going to understand that are the people in Rio Linda and Port St. Lucie. When you say ‘swine,\u2019 people in Rio Linda and Port St. Lucie think that you\u2019re talking about their spouse, and they could get swine flu from their spouse. You do have to have personal contact out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
