RUSH: We are happy to have with us today… You don’t know. The media has been trying to find you today. Vice President Mike Pence is here with us today. THE VICE PRESIDENT: (chuckling) RUSH: They have been out of their minds because they haven’t been able to find you.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: (chuckling) RUSH: We are very honored to have you here, sir. It’s a thrill. You were in town and graciously gave us...

Democrats are quick to criticize the Trump administration for any and every aspect of the government shutdown. They've been taking jabs at the White House, claiming Trump administration officials will receive a pay raise while some federal workers aren't being paid at all. Trump put an end to the rumors on Friday night when he froze pay for Vice President Mike Trump, members of the cabinet and other high-ranking political appointees. The raises were supposed to go into effect on Saturday, with some officials seeing a raise of roughly $10,000 a year, the New York Times reported. The reason the pay raises are...

RUSH: Noblesville, Indiana. Lynn, thank you. Great to hear from you. I’m glad you called. CALLER: Well, thank you so much for taking my call, Rush.

Only two of the Big Three Networks (ABC and CBS) found it fitting to report Trump’s act of charity. NBC Nightly News was the only network news show to ignore it, instead, they simply mentioned that Trump planned to visit Houston on Saturday. In addition to Trump’s pledge, Vice President Mike Pence was in Rockport, Texas to survey the damage, console the people, and personally help with...

RUSH: Vice President Pence is here. Welcome, sir, once again, back to the EIB Network. Happy to have you here. THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Rush. Great to be back on.

I know that millions of your listeners are supporting the families and communities that are affected with prayers, and supporting organizations are coming alongside.

RUSH: A bonus on the program today. We welcome back the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence. I’m so flattered you can carve some time out for us today, Mr. Vice President. I know you’ve gotta be swamped. THE VICE PRESIDENT: (chuckles) RUSH: Welcome back to the program. THE VICE PRESIDENT: Rush Limbaugh, the honor is all mine. Thanks for having me back on. RUSH: You bet. I guess the first place to start here — and there’s so many places. I could ask you about the meeting with Putin and so forth. But really, I think, in...
