<\/p>\nRUSH: Palm Bay, Florida. This is Keith. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, thank you for all the enlightenment you\u2019ve done over the years, and I hope many, many more to go, Rush.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m flattered to know that it\u2019s worthwhile, that you notice. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You know, first they\u2019re trying to recalculate the deaths after storms, you know, that they\u2019ve done the same way for a hundred years. Now on CNBC this morning, Joe and Becky and the progressive socialist ex-New York Times reporter, Andrew Ross Sorkin.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Apparently he\u2019s at a conference of all his elite buddies and they\u2019re trying to discuss how to change, how to calculate economic numbers because President Trump has had such a success, record breaking. And they were talking about the GDP being projected to be over 3% for the next two years. They claim that they want to add to that also that it\u2019s being unfairly redistributed down to the poor. They want to change these numbers just to make President Trump look bad.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And, you know, I have a great success story. I might be the first person President Trump put to work. Election night 2:40 in the morning I wrote on Facebook I was a gun-toting, Bible-thumping, uneducated redneck deplorable before it was cool. Erased it 10 minutes later and had shirts three weeks later, and now for the last year and 10 months, I\u2019m up to 31 shirts selling on the East Coast gun shows. And I hope you can stop in if you\u2019re in town. West Palm\u2019s the next one, the 13th and 14th. I\u2019d love to give you a deplorable shirt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, that\u2019s very thoughtful. I appreciate that. Revising numbers, you know, when Obama was president, GDP was puttering along, dripping along at 1.2%. They revised how it\u2019s calculated to elevate it, started including things in it that have never been included. I\u2019m not surprised to hear this.<\/p>\n
