Tom in Dexter, Michigan. Greetings, welcome to the EIB Network. Nice to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, 24\/7 dittos.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, I\u2019m an architect up here by day, and I write novels at night, and I recently lost my government stimulated job. So I am going on unemployment just to make sure the president\u2019s unemployment numbers stay nice and robust.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You write novels in the daytime?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I write novels at night. Daytimes I design buildings, usually a lot of stuff for universities. So I got a NIH grant. I was helping a university around here finish up one of those NIH-funded grant projects. We finished it, so my job is no longer stimulated, so I\u2019ve been destimulated.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you need to talk to Anthony Weiner.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Uh, I don\u2019t need that kind of stimulation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, I\u2019m working on some novels. In fact, I just sent a political thriller, an election thriller off to my publisher. So we\u2019re working on that and that\u2019s what I\u2019m gonna do now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Have you been published before?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I have. I have five novels that have been published internationally &#8212; and in fact AP, who you talk about quite a bit, even certified that I was an international number one best-selling author for a hundred weeks&#8230;in Venezuela. My book was pirated by Hugo Chavez, the Spanish edition.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019re kidding.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. And they exported the book as well, so I did four months in Uruguay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hugo Chavez nationalized your book?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I have been nationalized by Hugo Chavez. The book is a about a conflict between China and the Vatican. And when he\u2019s having his own troubles with his bishop and he\u2019d yell at his bishop at home, the book\u2019s numbers would jump up.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, what do you mean when you say you\u2019ve been published internationally? Does that mean you can\u2019t get your books in America.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, they\u2019re in the United States, but I\u2019ve been in Canada, the UK, I\u2019ve been in seven different languages right now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, who are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m <a href=\"https:\/\/tomgrace.net\/\">Tom Grace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Tom Grace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0965604012?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=theofficiw0c2-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0965604012\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-193053\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushBookTon-Grace.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"585\" \/><\/a>CALLER: I wrote The Secret Cardinal.
