It\u2019s great to have you on the program.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, it is an honor to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019ve been voluntarily listening to you for the past 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Voluntarily listening?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckling)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You mean as opposed to under duress?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Absolutely.  I used to have a competitor, I used to be in food sales, and we used to be sitting there and do our orders and stuff.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And one of my competitors would have you on, and this is before I became a conservative.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Ohhhh.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And it would drive me crazy!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I was like, &#8220;Dude, turn that guy off! He\u2019s driving me crazy.&#8221; Now I can\u2019t wait to turn you on during the week. So&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, welcome home. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, thank you. (chuckling)<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_97159\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushiPhone6io8.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  It\u2019s great to have you home.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It\u2019s been an honor and it\u2019s been a privilege because you\u2019ve given me so much knowledge.  You made an impact, so much so that my college student who is at Texas A&amp;M calls me sometimes and says, &#8220;What did Rush say about so-and-so today?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So you\u2019re the Rush expert, now. You\u2019re the guy that everybody that you know goes to to find out what\u2019s up?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckling) Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s power.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s power, man. That\u2019s power.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It really is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You\u2019re the authority figure.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That\u2019s cool.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It\u2019s been a blessing, so thank you.  So my question is, since you\u2019ve had a couple weeks now to play with your new iPhones, I was wondering what your thoughts were on \u2019em and what you\u2019re most excited about with the software coming out for the Macs.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I have them. You know, as a powerful, influential member of the media here, I have \u2019em both, and I have to tell you: I would have a tough time choosing, if I could only have one.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Uh huh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It would be hard, because they\u2019re both fabulous, but I think the thing that&#8230; I don\u2019t want this to be critical.  The iPhone 6 Plus is just fabulous. It\u2019s a two-hand phone.  It is not a one-hand phone.  If that matters to you, then the iPhone 6 is for you, but the iPhone 6 I think is the perfect phone.  It\u2019s beautiful.  It\u2019s wicked fast. The screen on the iPhone 6 is 4.7 inches.  That\u2019s 7\/10ths of an inch bigger than the iPhone 5 or 5S and it\u2019s the biggest seven-tenths of an inch I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Really? It makes that big a difference?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It totally changes the experience of using the phone.  Just 7\/10ths of an inch.  It\u2019s light; it\u2019s thin. You can\u2019t go wrong with either one if you like iPhones.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.  We became iPhone users about two years ago.  We were kind of shunning it a little bit and my college son and I both jumped in at the same time, and I know you\u2019ve always been an advocate for \u2019em. So&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I tell you what I\u2019m gonna do.  Since you have become the source authority for your group of friends, I\u2019m gonna make this choice of yours very simple.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019m gonna send you, if you will let me &#8212; now, you may not want it. But I\u2019m gonna send you an iPhone 6.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It would be an honor. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019ll send you an iPhone 6. Now, obviously&#8230; Do you have a cell phone now?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, sir.  I\u2019ve got the 5.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You\u2019ve got the 5.  I need to ask: With what cellular carrier are you contracted?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It\u2019s with Verizon.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Verizon?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.  I don\u2019t have any Verizon. It may be a couple of weeks, but do not give up hope.  I\u2019ve got some coming for giveaway purpose, exactly for this purpose.  What color do you prefer?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I\u2019ve got the white now, so maybe&#8230; Which one do you like better?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I don\u2019t have to make that choice, either. (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If you like&#8230; Is yours white, gold or silver?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  The white with silver on the back.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Silver. Okay, I\u2019ll send you either a silver or gold.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019ll be a Verizon iPhone 6 with 128 gigabyte.  You\u2019ll see what I\u2019m talking about, and then if you want another, if you decide you want the iPhone 6, all you have to do is go out and get one.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The 6 Plus, I mean.  But I guarantee you it\u2019 a tough decision for people.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Because the big screen is the big screen, and the iPhone 6 Plus, I\u2019ll tell you something else: It\u2019s easily a day and a half battery.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Really?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Easily a day and a half.  The iPhone 6 you\u2019ll get about three hours more with it than you do your iPhone 5 or 5S. You\u2019ll easily get the whole day with the 6.  It\u2019s not a slacker.  But the big phone has a bigger battery. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER Yeah, that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But it\u2019s a two-handed phone, and if you like one-hand use for gaming or whatever, or just using the phone then the 6 is for you.  Hang on.  Mr. Snerdley will get your address and all that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thank you, Rush! I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  &#8212; so when I get this Verizon model we can get it to you.  Don\u2019t hang up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It is Robert in Cedar Park, Texas. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hello.
