I think this was planned, Rush needed an excuse or it would have been considered a political ad and he could be in trouble with the FCC so if he just HAD TO leave and throw this up there he can get away with it!!
I wondered about this with the first airing. The station I listen to through TuneIn and Roku just switched out of it an put on Eric Erickson (not sure if live or Memorex).
I don’t think so. I watch him every day he’s on,and right before he left the control room was trying to tell him something. He was looking in their direction but couldn’t make out what they were trying to say so he looked at his watch, stammered a bit and then said something about leaving. He appeared frustrated, not ill. He ended with announcing the replay of the radio Trump rally, and said he’d be back Monday if he could.
