Alancarp is indeed correct. After some double checking I learned that, despite Rush's first person reference, "you hear every little thing," he was referring to his friend, not himself.
I was taping the broadcast but had to flip the tape just as he was saying that his implant had yet to be "hooked up," and therefore missed the comment that made this clear.
Sorry about the misreport. The NewsMax copy and headline have been corrected to reflect those statements.
Is this 'Carl from Oyster Bay'? If so, I remember hearing your calls to the old Jay Severin show, and (if I remember correctly) Bob Grant before that. Didn't know you were a freeper, though!
