It\u2019s not an official foundation dinner. It\u2019s just a little meeting at Don Pepe\u2019s out next to JFK, great little Italian restaurant out there. Dick Torykian puts this thing on every year and Jim Kallstrom, and they invite military buddies, some Secret Service agents were there, General Peter Pace, the former chief of staff, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman sat next to me at the dais and Jim Kallstrom was on the other side. What was sort of impromptu about this was that they gave me a first-time-ever award last night, and I can\u2019t tell you what it was, and I can\u2019t show it to you. Now, see, H.R. is in there doubting the fact &#8212; I can\u2019t do this. H.R., if I put this on the Dittocam, that\u2019s &#8212; (interruption) loosely describe it? Hmm. But loosely describing it doesn\u2019t get anywhere near what it actually is. It\u2019s a guy thing, folks. It involves brass and a pair, okay? (laughing) Snerdley, I\u2019ll send you guys &#8212; I have a picture of it, took a picture of it last night when I got home with my iPhone. Can\u2019t put it on the website. I mean, we could, but we have standards to maintain here on the EIB Network, but it was a hoot, it was just a great time last night. I want to thank everybody involved. The real big MC-LEF dinner is every April. It used to be at the Plaza before they shut that down to refurbish and remodel it. So it\u2019s been at the Waldorf Hysteria the last couple years, but that\u2019s the biggie, that\u2019s the black tie. Everybody shows up in camouflage, black tie camouflage tuxedos. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mc-lef.org\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"306\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Kathy, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Nice that you called. I appreciate it. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Anytime.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I have a really, really serious question for you. Are you still with me?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, of course, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m sorry. I thought I lost you. Since you\u2019re not going to run for president, I was wondering if you knew if any of the Republican candidates have a set of brass ones like yours so they can stand up against the Democrats?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, man. What a question! That\u2019s a no-win question because, if I don\u2019t say all of them, I got big problems.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Oh. I need to know.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s see. Well, look, you have to think that you know at least a couple of them do, don\u2019t you? When you look at that field is there anybody, based on what you\u2019ve seen so far in the campaign that strikes you as having a brass pair?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, yes, I think I\u2019ve seen a couple of them with brass.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughter) Folks, if you\u2019re wondering why this has come up here, if you just joined &#8212; Kathy, I\u2019m going to have to ponder this one, because you\u2019re asking a very personal question, and I really haven\u2019t seen up-close-and-personal whether or not this could possibly be true. Last night, the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation guys had a dinner, it\u2019s not for the foundation, they just bring a bunch of supporters, and military people, and Marines, and federal law enforcement officers, and they do it every year toward the end of October, Don Pepe\u2019s, which is out near JFK. So I flew into JFK from Florida yesterday afternoon and went over there. They started at 6 p.m. I got there about 6:30, 6:45 p.m. They had a big dais. Normally they don\u2019t do a dais like this. Everybody finds a seat where they want to sit. It\u2019s a very casual, roam around, grab something to eat and leave when you want to. This was a little bit more formal. <\/p>\n<p>They gave a special prize last night, a special award, the first ever award that the MC-LEF has ever given, and I can\u2019t show it to you. It\u2019s a brass pair, but I\u2019m not going to show it to you, and, well, it\u2019s not just anatomically correct, it\u2019s graphic. I would not dare show this, even on the website. People have suggested, &#8216;Why don\u2019t you put it on the website and blue-dot it so just the&#8230;\u2019 might do that. (laughing) But folks, it\u2019s just like the other day when Snerdley put up the excrement call, we had to get rid of the call. I\u2019m bringing it up because it\u2019s &#8212; (interruption) Snerdley shouting over the IFB (laughter) I\u2019m bringing it up because I have to draw an analogy here to the decorum, the class, and the quality of the program. Anyway, I mentioned this at the top of the program. Kathy is calling to ask. That\u2019s why we didn\u2019t bleep her reference to the brass pair, because I had already broken that ground earlier in the program. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There was an impromptu dinner &#8211;well, it wasn\u2019t an impromptu dinner, the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation does this every year.
