1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: What a week? What what an incredible week? I mean 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: from beginning to end, and it's still going and there 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: is still winning that's happening today. Just incredible. And I'm 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: gonna tell you something, folks. One thing is I'm I'm 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: gratified about it. Now. You know, I don't I don't 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: like to brag and I don't like to say notice me, 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: but everything happening to the Democrat Party today. If you 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: go back and you look at excerpts of the award 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: winning broadcast, go to the Russia Limbo dot com, you'll 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: find that I predicted this implosion of the Democrat Party. 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what it is. I mean, you get 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: people writing, well, what happened to Democrats this week is unserious. 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: It's worse than unserious. What happened to the Democrat Party 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: is that they have lost their entire moral foundation. Excuse me, 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I got a call coming on here, and uh, I'm 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: not gonna worry about hitting the cough switch as often 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: as they just just bear with me here. I mean 18 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: that they have lost their entire moral foundation, and they 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: lost it four years ago. This is what happens. Let 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: this be a lesson to you, folks. In your personal 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: life with this. What happens when you become consumed with hatred. 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Hatred is of poison. It destroys you because hatred can 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: never be requited, Hatred can never be rewarded. Hatred can 24 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: never make you happy. Hatred means you're requiring on something 25 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: painful or bad to happen to other people. And that's 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: just not the way the happiness. That's not the route 27 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: uh to success of any kind. And it's where the 28 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: Democrat Party is. And I'll break this down and I'll 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: explain it in great, great detail as the program unfolds. 30 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: Telephone number if you want to be with us, today's 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: eight eight to the email address L Rush Bowe and 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: e I v net dot us. So the last time 33 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: I was here and we were together was Monday, and 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: I have to tell you, it feels like it's been 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: two weeks with everything that has happened since then, but 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: it hasn't. It's it's just it's just been one week. 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: And the last thing that I did on Monday was 38 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: inform all of you of a medical diagnosis, advanced lung cancer. 39 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: And I told you Monday that I really wished that 40 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: I could not announce it because I don't like making 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: things about me, and I promised you that I was 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: not going to live every aspect of this on the air. 43 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: Millions of you have been through it. It's nothing that 44 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: millions of Americans aren't experiencing or haven't experienced. That you 45 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: don't need me sharing all of the details with you, 46 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: And I wouldn't want to do it anyway, because there's 47 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: a lot of factors involved, including privacy and distraction. Just no, 48 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: And by the way, folks, I don't know. Really, I'm 49 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: gonna be hopscotching through much of this first hour as 50 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: thoughts erupt in my fertile gray cells. I don't have 51 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: anything written here. I don't have any monologue scripted. I 52 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: don't I haven't made any notes to make sure that 53 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: I don't forget anything, because I'm not worried about forgetting anything. 54 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm very confident that I'm gonna get everything said here 55 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: today that I want to say. Uh. Despite living in 56 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: the public eye, I really am a private person for 57 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: just a host of reasons, most of which I'm that's 58 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: just who I am. I'm not. I want whatever I'm 59 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: known for to speak for itself during these three hours. 60 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: And uh, and some other things. But but you know, 61 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm not intra stood in being in the news all 62 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: the time for whatever reason. Of course I can't help, 63 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: but I am in the news all the time, but 64 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: it's not something I seek. Nevertheless, it has been one 65 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: of the biggest blessings. You don't understand now when what 66 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: lou Garig when he was diagnosed with a l S 67 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: in the nine twenties, he's announcing his retirement. This after 68 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: he has been the iron Man. He's played in all 69 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: these consecutive games that the record wasn't broken until cal 70 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: Ripken Jr. Came along And he's standing at home play 71 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: the Yankee Stadium, and he said, after having announced, the 72 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: world knew that he had a l S. Everybody knew 73 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: what it was, that it was fatal, and that there 74 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: was no chance of recovery. And there still isn't right away, 75 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: And lou Garig said, today, I consider myself the luckiest 76 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: man on earth. I've seen that black and white film 77 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: replayed numerous times in my life, and don't misunderstand. I 78 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: know he meant it, but the first two or three 79 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: times I heard it, I had trouble proced How in 80 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: the world can anybody feel lucky after having been told 81 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: that you have a disease from which there is no 82 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: recovery and that it's fast. And even though I there 83 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: was a part of me that, Okay, this is something 84 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: that famous people are supposed to say. He's been very 85 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: successful in life, he was uniquely talented to play baseball 86 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: and all that, and I thought, Okay, clearly there is 87 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: a portion of Lou Lou Garring that thinks he has 88 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: to say this, And now I know that's all wrong. 89 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: Now I know that there was nothing forced or phony 90 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: or public relations related about it. The because I feel 91 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: the same way, I cannot. I cannot thank all of 92 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: the people that I have heard from since Monday, and 93 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: they are still getting hold air people. I had no 94 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: idea they knew how to get hold of me. Uh. 95 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: And the the sentiments they the thoughts they are expressing 96 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: are just incredibly nice and supportive. And to have this 97 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: kind of support, uh, and to know it, to be 98 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: fully aware of it, Yeah, it does make me one 99 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: of the luckiest people alive. And I I'm trying to 100 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: respond to everybody. I haven't even made a dance in it. 101 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: I haven't had a whole lot of time too but 102 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: i've i've I'm going to try. Some people have written 103 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: excuse me three or four times, and other people are suggesting, Hey, 104 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: I know this treatment, I know this hospital, I know 105 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: this treatment place.

And it's it's really true when I sit here, 109 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: think about how lucky I am that all this has 110 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: happened to me. Now. I know many of you want 111 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: to know the story of the State of the Union 112 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: address on Tuesday night and how that all happened, and 113 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: someday I hope to be able to tell you the 114 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: entire story. I can't tell you the entire story now 115 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: without divulging uh medical details that I frankly don't want 116 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: to give people an opportunity to start investigating and writing 117 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: about and pronouncing opinions in this kind of thing. People 118 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: know enough about about what I have. It's it's late stage, 119 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: it's advanced lung cancer.

I literally agonized over what to do. 154 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: Catherine and I were both sitting in a hotel room 155 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,359 Speaker 1: as time is marching on. We're faced with the possibility 156 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: of having to ask an entire medical team to broom 157 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: their schedule and reschedule to accommodate this. But we haven't 158 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: told him yet. We're discussing the logistics. Now. There's something else. 159 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: Earlier that day, I had sent e I B one 160 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: to take my nieces from New York to Cape Girardo, 161 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: and it wasn't going to be available to me until 162 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: four thirty in the after noon. So I'm putting that 163 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: in the equation. I mean, there's no way to even 164 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: get there, even if I want to. Once we charter, 165 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: we could we could do that.

Hour 170 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: and a half later, called the President back, tried to 171 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: tell him no, Remember, I don't know what's going to happen. 172 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: I have no idea.

He has told me that 174 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: he's going to present me with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, 175 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: but a couple of weeks from now in the Oval Office. 176 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: I had no idea at this point on Tuesday morning, 177 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: this is going to happen State of the Union, and 178 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: he didn't tell me during all these phone calls. I 179 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: called him back around ten to Pty, intending to be 180 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: as persuasive as I could, to thank him and just 181 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: say that there was too much here to overcome to 182 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: get down there, including the medical schedule, loom doctors and 183 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: everything they've been and this this story. If if I could, 184 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: and some day I'm going to be able to give 185 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: you every detail here. But for people that do not 186 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: know Donald Trump, this story will explain him, his essence, 187 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: his attitude toward life. They're simply is nothing you can't do. 188 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: There's nothing that can't be done, and there's not a 189 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: single obstacle that can't be dealt with. And it's not 190 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: even hard, it's not even He didn't have to stop 191 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: and think for a moment about this. Now, granted, he's 192 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: got presidential power. If he wants to clear us into 193 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: Reagan National, if he wants to send a car for 194 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: us and get us from the airport to the way, 195 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: he can do all of that. But he was but 196 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: and he did, and he was willing. But but the 197 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: fact was that this is what he wanted. But not 198 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: for him, you see him, It was for me, and 199 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to let me talk myself out of it. 200 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: Part of me is not wanting to create any problems 201 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: for him. I mean, he's got so many more important 202 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: things to do than to deal with logistics. And I 203 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: totally may say, you think I'm gonna do it, I 204 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: got people here. What do you mean I'm gonna call 205 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: a guy here in an hour, all this will be done. 206 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: All you gotta do is just find a way to 207 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: get with and get the close. So Catherine, this was 208 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: just this was amazing too. Catherine got in gear and 209 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: again without divulging too much in about we went and 210 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: met the doctor. We kept the appointment at noon to 211 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: discuss what was going to happen, sign of papers, get 212 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: as much of the procedure out of the way as 213 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: we could, and then to tell the doctor, Hey, I 214 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: have been summoned to Washington. Can can this be moved 215 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: to tomorrow? Sure, it's not a problem. In fact, show 216 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: up at five thirty tomorrow morning before anybody else gets here. 217 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: We'll get it started. We'll get it. Everybody was just 218 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: as cooperative helpful as they could be. We get back 219 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: from the meeting with the doctors about two hours and 220 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: in our hotel room is fifteen sport coats, different sizes, 221 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: four or five different ties, a bunch of shorts, different sizes, 222 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: and all I had to do was try on various 223 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: things and find an outfit that fit. I did have 224 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: taken back. I did have a pair of slacks because 225 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: it was cold where we went, so I wasn't working 226 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: in shorts with me. But I did wear slacks and 227 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: the slacks from a suit. But I mean we were 228 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: looking at even sending the plane down the floor to 229 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: get my suit in the time, but I couldn't because 230 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: it was on the way to Missouri. So anyway, Capita 231 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: arranged for a bunch of stuff to be delivered from 232 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: local retail outlets, including for her. She had nothing either, 233 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: nothing that would be suitable for the house chamber. Pardon me, Yeah, 234 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: it was stuff off the road. When do you get it. 235 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: There's no time for a tailor. There's no time for 236 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: a seamstress. Yeah, that's why there was fifty and different 237 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: sport coats. Mr Snerdle, It's why there four or five 238 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: different church different next sizes sleeve links. I told him 239 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: what I wear, But you ever know from from manufactured 240 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: to manufacture brand debrand, nothings consistent in clothes. And there 241 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: was only one of the of the whatever it was 242 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: ten or fifties, only one fit, only one that I 243 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: could button. The slave length was perfect, but only one 244 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: that I could. But what do you mean, you're used 245 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: You're used to what over here on the other you're oh, 246 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: you're used to offer Look I don't have a tailor eater. 247 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: What do you people think I have? Somebody makes myself. 248 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: When's the last time you saw me in a suit 249 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: was in December? And that's an off the rack suit. 250 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: I haven't bought a suit in ten years because I 251 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: don't like clothes shopping, because precisic is nothing does fit 252 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: off the wreck. I get better things to do. To 253 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: sit there and be measured three or four times again? 254 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: It right? And if that was what was was somewhat 255 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: miraculous about this is that Katherine got enough delivered that 256 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: something worked. And when when I saw the ties, so 257 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: these are the dullest ties. I don't wear invisible ties 258 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: like this is, I said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but 259 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: this is this is this is how they interpreted what 260 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: you said you want turned out to be perfect. The 261 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: tie turned out to be the pre fit color for 262 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: what was to come later. Anyway, I gotta take a break. 263 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: There's still a lot to this story, and there's more 264 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: than I can tell you today about Donald Trump and 265 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: who he is and why he's unbeatable, folks, He's indomitable. 266 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: There's these these clowns, the Democrats. They still have no 267 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: idea what they're up against. They haven't the slide. There's nobody. 268 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: There's nobody in the Democrat Party, There's nobody in American politics. 269 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: It even comes close to the personality and the the 270 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: overall attitude towards life of Donald Trump. It's incredible. Now, 271 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: look in this storm, we're not even at the White 272 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: House yet. I still have a ways to go in 273 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: explaining what all happened here on on Tuesday, but there's 274 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: not enough time in this segment. I kind of went 275 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: overboard in the first one, so so bear with me here. 276 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: I just want to reiterate something. You look at what 277 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: happened in Iowa, and given I told the President there 278 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: was a meeting, I'm jumping ahead, but there was a 279 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: meeting in the Yellow Oval. Teddy Roosevelt loved the Oval 280 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: Office so much he had an exact replica built in 281 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: the Residents and it's yellow. It's the same dimensions as 282 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: the Oval Office in the West Wing. The entire Trump 283 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: family is there. And the subject of the Democrats meltdown 284 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: in Iowa, the Hawkeye cark I came up and I said, 285 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: Mr President, don't you find a little ironic these people 286 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: running around the last four years claiming you cheated with Russia. 287 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna cheat and look what happened. These people are 288 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: stillicon Valley running their operations. They can't even count votes. 289 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: When are they gonna blame Russia for this? When are 290 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: they gonna blame you for this? And he got a 291 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: big laugh out of it. What a bunch of incompetent, 292 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: arrogant More on this in a minute. Half my brain 293 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: time behind my back still just to make it fair. 294 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: The e IV network and russlan ball wrapping up. Oh, 295 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: by the way, it's all line Friday. So when we 296 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: get to the phones about a quarterinal three this afternoon, 297 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: whatever you want to talk about will be fine. No. 298 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: I hope to be able to get the phones much 299 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: much much sooner than that. Um, this experience that Katherine 300 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: and I had, And look, folks, I have Look, I've 301 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: known Donald Trump for years and I've been really fortunate 302 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: the past year played golf with him a number of 303 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: times when he's down here then in Florida. Um, and 304 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: I've gotten to know him person. I know Donald Trump 305 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: when I saw him come down the escar. I know. 306 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: I've known Donald Trump from the moment he got into 307 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: this and I knew he was gonna win two weeks 308 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: after he got into this, and I never had any 309 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: doubts about it, and I fully totally understand. The Democrats 310 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: are discombobulation with it. They have no idea what they're 311 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: up against. They still don't the deep state, all these 312 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: people that have tried to run Donald Trump out of town, 313 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: they just they have no idea. Folks they have they literally, 314 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't think, know anybody like him, which is a shame. 315 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: They don't know people like Donald Trump. They may even 316 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: have disdain for people like Donald If you look at 317 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's life, He's lived a full and complete life, 318 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: and not everything has been um what we would characterize 319 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: as exemplary, but that's the point. He's lived. He has 320 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: gotten everything life has to offer, and he's not finished, 321 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: and he attacks it each and every day. And he 322 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: has no what's the words he's got, He's got no 323 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: self doubt. He doesn't let what other people might think 324 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: of what he wants to stop him from doing it 325 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: or from saying what he wants to say. He's just 326 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: a unique personality. And the fact that the political establishment, 327 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: in fact that some of both parties don't understand it 328 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: is Uh, not hard to understand, because there is a 329 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: way of doing things, the standard operating procedure in electoral politics, 330 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: and you can see the contrast. But watch watching any 331 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: Democrat during the Hawkeye Hawk Eye, the lead up and 332 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: then that night when the vote mess happened, and listen 333 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: to any of them talk and every speech, even the 334 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: hand gestures are rehearsed, focus grouped, the words that they say, 335 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: focus grouped practiced. None of it is real, and all 336 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: of it is pandering. Every bit of it is pantmit 337 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: Romney epitomizes the pandering. Romney is pandering to other losers. 338 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: For some reason, Romney thinks this is his route to victory. 339 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: He hasn't the slightest idea what his future is, but 340 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't include victory, not even close. And he's gonna 341 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: find out sooner than later. But in this day, this 342 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: past Tuesday, there was simply no way it wasn't going 343 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: to happen. And he never made a demand. I want 344 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: to try to be clear about this so that as 345 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: many of you as possible understand the personalities. There's nothing. 346 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: There was no demanding, there was nothing offensive, there was 347 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: nothing butlittally, there was nothing it's a unique person. That 348 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: isn't that that that is able to persuade people to 349 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: do what they want and make them happy they're doing 350 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 1: it even when they don't think they can. In Donald 351 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: Trump's world, there simply is no can't, especially when it 352 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: comes to when it comes to trying. So we tell 353 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: him late in the afternoon on Tuesday that we're going 354 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: to accept the invitation. He's thrilled. He was ecstatically happy, 355 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: but as I was to learn later, not for himself. 356 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: He U pardoner the sniffles here. First I called you, 357 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: I've got a little bit of a bronchial congestion, chess 358 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: cold coming on any rate. He's he's uh, He's on 359 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: the phone and saying, look, of course, of course your 360 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: health comes first. There's no question. You gotta put your 361 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: health first. Can't the doctor take some of it out 362 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: now and then go get the rest of it tomorrow? 363 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: What's his name? It was? But there was never a 364 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: demand there was. There just wasn't any way we were 365 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: going to be able to decline it. That just wasn't 366 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen. We figured that out, and then all the 367 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: logistics fell into place, and we arrived in Washington and 368 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: were picked up and taken to the White House. We 369 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: were met by Hogan get Lee in the Communication shop. 370 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: I went to the library in the White House, which 371 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: is UH. It's off the Diplomatic entrance Area's the elevator 372 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: to the UH Residents, where the First Lady was posing 373 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: for photos with all of the people who were being 374 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: recognized in the gallery that night, and we were last 375 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: in line on purpose because after we posed for the 376 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: photo with the First Lady, we were then escorted to 377 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: the to the Residents to meet the Trump family in 378 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: the Yellow Oval. Again, that is a room in the Residents. 379 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: It's not far down the hall. If it's if you 380 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: keep walking past it, you'll run into the Lincoln Bedroom 381 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: in the Queen's bedroom, and it's the exact dimensions of 382 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: the Oval office in the West wing. Teddy Roosevelt loved 383 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: that room. He it made for the residents, exact measurements, 384 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: with the predominant color being yellow. Hang on here just 385 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: a second. Books. So we're escorted into the room by 386 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: Mrs Trump and we chat with her for two or 387 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: three minutes, and then the Trump family began to come 388 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: in Ivanka, Donald Jr. Eric, their wives, spouses, and then 389 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: the President came in and sat down and started talking 390 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: about the award and the medal and what it means 391 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: and how special it is and how uh thrilled he 392 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 1: was that we were able to make it, and Fox, Uh, 393 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if I should. I'm just gonna I'm 394 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and tell you this. I realized that 395 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: it's going to open the floodgates of a bunch of 396 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: people in the media, but at this stage, I don't care. 397 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: I never have cared, and I'm not going to start 398 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: caring now what they say. One of the reasons I 399 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: was reluctant was I just wasn't sure I deserved this. 400 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: You look at I mean, it's the highest civilian honor 401 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: that the country awards. It's the exact same award that 402 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: Congress give the Congressional Medal of Honor to Presidential Medal 403 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: of Freedom. It's exact same thing. Uh. There are different requirements. Uh. 404 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: Military people who qualify are awarded the Congressional Medal of 405 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: Honor with sometimes the ceremony at the White House. But 406 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: this is the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And there was 407 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: a part of me. I'm a radio talk show host 408 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: and I sit here behind this microphone and i'm and 409 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: I talk, and this is, by the way, nothing new. 410 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: Remember when I was at the National Review fiftieth anniversary 411 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: dinner in Washington, some of you will remember this story. 412 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm sitting at Mr Buckley's table and a man walks 413 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: up to me who has been severely wounded in battle, 414 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: and he asks if I could come over to his 415 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: table to meet others at his table who also have 416 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: been wounded. So I did, and I got over there, 417 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: and I was listening to these guys who have nearly 418 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: died defending the country, telling me how much they enjoy 419 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: listening to my program. And I said to you guys 420 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: and said, you know, I I don't know, guys, you've 421 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: faced bullets, almost died. I sit behind the microphone and 422 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: enclosed room and talk. And the leader of the wounded 423 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: warriors said, sir, we all have our role and I've 424 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: never forgotten it. And I remember when I start did questioning, gee, 425 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: is this something I really have earned or deserved? I 426 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: remembered that statement from the I mean really severely wounded. 427 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: We all have our roles. And then I said I can't. 428 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: I can't react to this in a way that diminishes 429 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: their appreciation. I can't sit here and say, oh, come on, guys, 430 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: you know I'm not worth this. They can't do that. 431 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: It means everything in the world to them that I 432 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: came over and they wanted to tell me this, and 433 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: so you can't. You can't phony up the humility and 434 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: and act. So I gutted it up and I told 435 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: him how much I appreciated it, how stunned I was, 436 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: how much it meant to me to know that they 437 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: were out there and it was a great evening. It's 438 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: the same thing. Decided, Okay, drop this, drop this business. 439 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: That the president wants to give it to you, that's 440 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: all that matters. You've you've got to do it. But 441 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: I just I'm jumping back in time because that was 442 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: one of the um items of when we're deciding whether 443 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: to do this or not. And I didn't tell Katy. 444 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: Katherine's hearing this for the first time. I think I 445 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: may have said, you think I really deserve I don't know, 446 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: but I don't think I did. So we get there, 447 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: presidents talking and we have the joke about the Democrats 448 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: in Iowa, and he's sitting on an ottoman a footstool. 449 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: We're on sofas facing each other, Mrs Trump, other family members. 450 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: He's on an ottoman by himself, no ties where. He's 451 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: got his jacket on, crisp white shirt unbuttoned. And I said, 452 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, I couldn't do this. Whenever I used to 453 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: do anything like this, like a big speech or Russia, 454 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: I had to be alone with no distractions. I couldn't 455 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: have a bunch of people around me. I said that 456 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: one of the reasons I don't None of it was scripted, 457 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: and I had lived everything so on. Need to make 458 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: sure my brain was working and not distracted. And and 459 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,479 Speaker 1: he said, no, this is this. This we love this, 460 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: We love this is this is historic. We've got such 461 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: a great story to tell. You know that Donald Trump 462 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: is not ashamed two trumpet his accomplishments and achievements because 463 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: they're real. He does have his own version of humility. 464 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: You have to know how to spot it. It happens 465 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: in every rally. Donald Trump will tell everybody in the 466 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: world how much he appreciates their support. One way or 467 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: the other. Could be thirty seconds, could take him two minutes. 468 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: But everybody at a Trump rally knows that he appreciates 469 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: them and doesn't take any of their support their presence 470 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: for granted. So then after this and the joking about 471 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats and my suggesting that maybe the Russians were 472 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: behind this disaster in Iowa, it was time to leave. 473 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: And this was something I never knew. I never knew 474 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: how all of this happened, all those guests sitting up 475 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: there with the first lady in the gallery. I never 476 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: knew how it all happened. But now I do, and 477 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: I will tell you when we get back. Okay, So 478 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: the way they get everybody over uh, and I'm I'm 479 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: truncating this. They've got a couple of busses, minivans that 480 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: they're very nice, don't misunderstand minivans. They put all the 481 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: guests in, and the guests are the tail end of 482 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: the caravan. It is a massive carabany that more SUV 483 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: has ever seen in a row. And we left the 484 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: White House about a fifteen to get over there, and 485 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: they hustle you in um to the gallery and you 486 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: sit down and I've never been in the gallery. Oh yeah, 487 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: I haven't, senate, never in the house. I have seen 488 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: the house chamber from floor level. You're not allowed to 489 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: go out there if you're not a member.

Congratulations, Thank you, Catherine. 528 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: This is not one of them. I've got to take 529 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: a break. There's one other thing about this, I have 530 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: to impart those, so stick with us. For me. The 531 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: highlight though, was Sergeant Williams, brought back from Afghanistan, hadn't 532 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: seen his kids and his wife in years. That moment 533 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: he came down those steps. You have to have been 534 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: there to understand the power of that moment. That's not 535 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: twenty one. This is Howie Carr, who was on Tucker 536 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: Carlson Show on the Fox Newest channel on Wednesday night. 537 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: And Howie Carson, why not just say why did you say? 538 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: I disagree with Russia? But why does every disagreement have 539 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 1: to have to be kind of perverted into a race conversation? Okay, 540 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: they disagree with Rush, fine, Well why do they have 541 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: to call everyone they dislike a racist? Every time? That's 542 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson asking, that's the way it is with liberals. 543 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: If they disagree with you, ergo you are a racist. 544 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter that Russia has raised millions of 545 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: dollars for charities, leukemia foundations with the Betsy Ross t 546 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: shirt more recently, he's done all that. He's a historical 547 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: figure in American politics, I would say, and in the 548 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 1: radio industry. I'll tell you one thing. He never wrote 549 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: around on Jeffrey Epstein's jet, Unlike a certain former president 550 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 1: of the United States. He never tried to cow ronan 551 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: pharaoh into stopping his expose as of Harvey Weinstein, like 552 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's people did. It's ridiculous, it's really loathsome. All 553 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 1: of that is a is A is a good point. 554 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: It's clearly clearly a two way street. Um. And then 555 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: the vice president is what I was looking for. This 556 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: is vice As I mentioned, he called me after the 557 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: State of the Union on Tuesday as we were headed 558 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: back to the airport. And let's see, he was with 559 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: this is Wednesday morning in a Fox Wait a minute, yeah, 560 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: Fox Newest Jil Fox and Friends, and Doocy said, your 561 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: longtime friend Rush Limbaugh, President awarded him the Medal of Freedom. 562 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: Rush didn't see it coming. It always happens in the 563 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: White House, not Congress, so Rush didn't see it coming. 564 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: I reached him shortly after hand Catherine left the capital, 565 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: and he was very moved and told me that he 566 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: was going to spend the rest of his life trying 567 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: to earn it. And I said, Russia, you've already earned it. 568 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: Everything you've done up hold values and ideals that have 569 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: made this country great. Rush told me last night that 570 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: his wife said that God is working in all of this, 571 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: and uh, I believe that moment which the president, we 572 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: all found out about Rush, and then the President just 573 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: had this thought to say, I want to have you 574 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: come to the State of the Union. But and he said, 575 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: I know you've got some medical procedures this week, but 576 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,439 Speaker 1: I'd like to have you there. But he didn't tell 577 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: him he was going to give him the highest civilian honor. 578 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: And so there were people when it happened, It's okay, 579 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: you've got to turn to the right, you've got to 580 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: turn away from the first lady. It's okay. And it 581 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: was special night
