Open Line Friday, your turn. Thank you for calling. Hello.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: Hey, thanks, Rush. I\u2019m a helicopter pilot and I fly part time for a coal company in West Virginia.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: Flying around the executives I hear \u2019em talking about different things and one of the things that\u2019s happened now is the EPA is starting to pull permits from mines in West Virginia, and the thing I didn\u2019t realize is that we actually export coal.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: I knew that we imported it.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: No, we actually export it, too.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: So you\u2019re a helicopter pilot, you fly part time for a coal company in West Virginia, you fly the executives around and you hear \u2019em talking about&#8230;? How can you hear anything on a helicopter anyway? You hear \u2019em in the headphones?<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: Oh, yeah. We got Bose headsets. Probably not as nice as on EIB 1, but they\u2019re very nice.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: We have Bose at EIB 1, the noise-canceling headphones, the same things you\u2019ve got in your chopper.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: Yeah. So these guys know you can hear \u2019em, and they\u2019re sitting there, they\u2019re talking about the permits and so forth, EPA pulling permits from mines in West Virginia. But what is this about exporting coal?<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: Well, we actually have so much stuff in the ground, just like you were talking. I mean we got oil, we got coal, we got all sorts of things in the ground that we could get, but we just don\u2019t. We\u2019re not allowed to go get \u2019em.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: We flew by 40 windmills the other day and it was kind of funny because not one of them was turning. There was only five knots of wind and not one was turning and one of the comments they made was, you know, &#8216;If you didn\u2019t have to turn the lights on every day, windmills would be great.\u2019<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: Exactly right. And if you were deaf like I am and you couldn\u2019t hear \u2019em, why, they\u2019d be a panacea.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\"\/>CALLER: That\u2019s right. (chuckles) That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: Okay, you\u2019re right. You\u2019re right. Instant research here: We do export coal to China! (laughing) We\u2019re exporting coal to the ChiComs, and that\u2019s ticking off our environmentalist wackos.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: Yep. It just amazes me how wrong the press gets everything. If you don\u2019t mind, real quick let me tell you a quick story.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: Yeah, but the press gets it wrong because of their sources and who they believe. What is it you want to say?<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: I just want to say I was down in Katrina right after it happened. I was flying a helicopter down there. There were 300 helicopters down there. You couldn\u2019t have got more helicopters into that airspace without a midair [collision] and, you know, I used to be in the Coast Guard a long time ago, and hoisting people off of roofs takes time. You could not have got those people out of there any quicker. And when George Bush came in on Air Force One, everybody was afraid it was gonna shut down the airspace, but that man didn\u2019t do anything to shut down the airspace. I flew right by Air Force One, and when he turned to take off on runway I think it was 2-7 out of Louis Armstrong &#8212;<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: &#8212; he took off, and when that aircraft rotated after going down the runway, you couldn\u2019t even see it, there was so much debris on the runway. But he came in there anyway. I\u2019m sure the Secret Service said, &#8216;No, don\u2019t go in there,\u2019 and &#8216;don\u2019t go in there,\u2019 but I\u2019m sure that he overruled \u2019em and went in there anyway. And they did not change one thing when he came in. They didn\u2019t put up a TFR, a temporary flight restriction, for him or anything. You know, there was obviously already a TFR there for Katrina, but they didn\u2019t do anything different just \u2019cause he was there &#8212; and, you know, I have great respect for the man, and that was another thing the press didn\u2019t mention or talk about.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: Well. Tim, I\u2019m glad you called. I thank you very much. I\u2019m glad you got through.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">CALLER: Okay. Take care, Rush.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: All the best. And enjoy those Bose headphones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Tim in northwest Ohio. Open Line Friday, your turn. Thank you for calling. Hello.
