RE: your exit question about Trump' meeting with someone who jails and kills people...
Do you think that a premier luxury builder in New York City, like Donald Trump, might have had to take a meeting with a mob leader at some point in his career, if he was going to be successful in New York?

Great to see you on the Rush/Roosh thread today. :-D
Yeah, I’ll take the strawberries as well. Just got some on sale. A little bit of spring up here in Connecticut where gloomy winter keeps hanging on. And on....

I switched it off when he said he was digging up past shows where he said the same thing Trump is saying now.
I found it disgusting.
We all have said the same things for years, but Rush had a mike.
Also Rush and Laura Ingrahm play consecutively on our local stations. I have to say that this host promotion of products is getting way old.
I flick off the radio when they start chatting about sheets pillows, security systems, their kids, their cats, football, and golf.
I would rather have a regular produced commercial.
They would be smart to save their voices for the important things like politics and the state of the world
narrow minded view
Perhaps I am narrow minded, but they drone...
Agree entirely but it's interesting to watch their machinations while denying they are machinating (?).
For years Rush used to wag his finger and say 'you think we've increased our commercial load but we haven't.' That was before the cheesy spoken-word commercials for various snake oil. Ironically, Rush has railed against the Fear Uncertainty & Doubt (FUD) of the leftists but is quite happy to utilize the exact same tactics when scaring (he hopes) someone into using an (overpriced) cloud backup service or whatever.
Some of these ads run 3-4 minutes. At that point you aren't selling, appealing to or convincing anyone, merely annoying them. And if a credit monitoring agency can't catch all transactions, what good is it? It only takes one transaction to cause mayhem.
Laura is less bound by the hucksterism - typically just one spot per hour and always in the same segment.
It's obvious that some entity ie an ad agency is coordinating the products advertised on all conservative radio shows (Rush, Levin, Hannity, Plante, Laura et al) since the same items are pitched across the board. I'm sure the agency is pushing desirable demographics to the broadcaster and desirable audience to the service/product providers but they grossly overestimate the demand for or interest in sheets and mattresses as you point out.
Laura's show has larger issues, namely that her TV show is inevitably trampling the consistency of her radio gig not least because she plays hooky frequently, even within the broadcast hour. Hannity's show has always been of questionable value since it's mostly a plugfest for his Fox program and Laura has fallen into the same trap. The less said about Raymond Arroyo, his Frank Sintatra clips and his constant invocation of 'You wanted to say what?' to callers the better.
Ironically, these hosts know that podcasting is a growing portion of their listener base hence the inclusion of the spoken word ads even though they know (and track) users' use of the 15 sec advance to skip them.
You didn't hear it from me but half a dozen enterprising, faithful posters make the full Rush podcast available on YouTube (simply search for the term). Some repost the radio stream but others post the premium item which has such ads removed (as well as the repetitive bumper music, which remains unchanged because they don't want to pay more rights fee$). A show without lasts less than 90 min. If it's played at 1.5x speed it lasts about an hour. Efficiency all round.
You view was not narrow minded Chickensoup. If a person can’t see how these talk show people bring their petty egos in front of the listeners, then the listeners aren’t paying attention.
I like Rush and Laura, Sean is one of the worst to need constant approval patting.
My advice to them, shut up about yourownselves, and talk. Share your content with like minded patriots without worrying who gets the credit. Quit spending air time whining and stroking your bruised egos.
Take a page from the guy you say you loved so much Ronald Reagan.
I agree and good to know. I will try to find them.
The spoken ads are insufferable. and boring.
