I was driving, hitting some golf balls, waiting to get on the air with you, and it\u2019s apropos for my subject matter.  You know, one of the sporting events I always would want to go to if anyone asked me which one would be the Masters.  And it\u2019s in no small part because I respect the men who have run the Masters Tournament and run that club.  And I respect \u2019em more than thinking, really, for the way that they have controlled the networks.  You know, they don\u2019t allow CBS to come to them and say what\u2019s what.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_113207\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Priebus-Green-Jacket.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  You know this&#8230; Wait a second.  Wait.  This is a brilliant point.  You are spot on here.  This is great example.  The Masters has a one-year TV contract every year, which is CBS.  CBS has to earn it every year with their performance.  How do they earn it?  By doing what Augusta tells them to do.  Augusta limits the number of commercial breaks per hour. Augusta gets the sponsors.  They work with CBS on this.  It\u2019s not a total autocratic thing, but Augusta controls every aspect.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Augusta doesn\u2019t even allow certain words to be used by commentators.  You cannot say &#8220;gallery.&#8221;  You have to call \u2019em the &#8220;patrons,&#8221; \u2019cause that\u2019s what Bobby Jones thought of them as.  And Augusta dictates entirely which holes are gonna be televised, how many can be televised. And they\u2019ve relaxed the rules over the years.  And the reason they can is because the ratings come in so high, people are gonna watch that tournament every year. And his point here, the Republicans could do the same thing with a ratings grabber like Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Weston in Philadelphia.
