Rush Limbaugh opens his interview with Trump
Citation From the October 9, 2020, edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show
RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): And greetings to you music lovers, thrill-seekers and conversationalists all across the fruited plain. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Mr. President, it is a distinct honor and privilege to have you with us. And I want you to do something for me sir.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Go ahead
LIMBAUGH: I want you to imagine you have just landed in a gleaming, majestic Air Force One to the largest radio rally in history. Instead of thousands cheering as you walk up to the stage, there are millions and millions of patriots out there right now anxiously awaiting to hear from you. No doubt they are waving Trump flags, wearing their bright red MAGA hats proudly. This, sir, is a mega-MAGA rally and we are all thrilled to be with you today. We are so glad you are doing better and welcome to the EIB network.
TRUMP: Well, I want to thank you Rush. You are a fantastic man, a friend of mine, but before I even really knew you as a friend you were like a supporter. I said I know that guy has got a big audience but I never even knew the importance of what you do and what you say and now I do very well and it keeps us all in the game. We just got great polls out of, you probably heard, out of Arizona. We are getting them out of Nevada -- you know, the real polls, not the fake polls. We are getting them out of North Carolina, looking really good. I think Pennsylvania is looking good, Florida is looking great. It's all a big phony deal they have going, Rush, and we are going to win this. I think it's going to be a bigger win than we had four years ago.
LIMBAUGH: Oh, that would be great.
