Speaker 1: Limba The Man Behind the Golden E I B Microphone,

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: we take a look at the lighter side of Russia

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Laba and the Russia Limbus Show. You're gonna hear from

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Paul Shanklin, or, as Rush would call him, White comedian

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: Paul Shanklin. Once Paul started up with the songs and everything,

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: it just I think we all know is that Paul's

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: talent was so good that they just said, Okay, we

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: gotta hire this guy. Plus anybody that's listened to Rush

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: for the full Ride remembers the early days, the humor

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: that came from the homeless updates, that came from the

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: feminist updates, the gay community rights update. My favorite was

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: the animal rights update. That was Rush and Mike Mamone

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: creatively together doing something that later would just chafe the left,

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: but we had so many laughs from it. Now did

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: Rush always have a wicked sense of humor. Yes, and

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: you can hear that that humor inside the remarks that

22
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: he was making. He was very witty, He was very funny,

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: quite naturally, would find something humorous to say on many levels.

24
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean things he used to say, politics is show

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: bus for the ugly. He talked about he talked about

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: the uglow Americans, which was just hysterical, but made a point.

27
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: It was it was he would he would find a

28
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: way to pierce sometimes serious issues with a unique sense

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: of humor. Rush would just let loose and we'd have

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, we could spend two days talking about the

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Arkansas toesucker and things like that. And it was his miracle.

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: He had a great sense of fumer about everything. Whether

33
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: you listened every day you are at the E I

Speaker 1: you do? How did this happen? The first time I

83
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: heard it? And it was in the it was in

84
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: the early nineties. I can't remember the year, but I

85
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: know who introduced it because it was the local show

86
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: host at w MC sevent in Memphis, where I'm from,

87
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: and uh, Oliver c Reid and he he basically read

88
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal every morning for three hours. Uh,

89
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: so you didn't have to. And he, uh, he got

90
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: into talking about this show that's gonna come on. Yeah,

91
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: it's discuss Russia Lumbo. I don't think it's much to it.

92
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: It's a flash the pan. He's not gonna make it,

93
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: but but give it a listen. And I listened. I

94
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: was hooked, I mean the first day. And uh, Interestingly,

95
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I always thought Rush was a lot older than he was,

96
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: not because of the way he sounded, but he was mature,

97
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: and that was a difference in talk radio. Somebody somebody

98
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: that was I don't know. He just had a had

99
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: a sense of having been and had had his own

100
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: ideas of way things were Okay, so you listened and

101
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you, like millions of us, got hooked to

102
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: the show. What made you decide to I want to contribute?

103
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of this what? What

104
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: was what was that? Like? Well, I had I had

105
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: been trying, um to to do something in local radio

106
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: for some time and uh, and I'd pretty much given

107
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: up on it. Uh. My friend Mike Ramirez, he's a

108
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: uh and I have to say, he's a two two

109
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: time so they get this right, two time Pulitzer Prize winner,

110
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: uh for being a political cartoonist. And we'd play golf

111
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: together and when he was, especially in the short game

112
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: or on tea off either way, I'd say, wait a minute,

113
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: that you ain't doing that right. Let me help and

114
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: mess him up because he's a natural athlete. I'm not.

115
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: So it was the only way I could win. And

116
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: he kept he said, you you've got to get into radio.

117
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: You gotta get in. So he introduced me to people

118
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: and I'm particularly or I used to be shy to

119
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: I'll learn it didn't pay and uh, I just uh

120
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: it just never could find anybody that would let me

121
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: on their show. And uh, it was in the September

122
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: I was at the fair with my wife and we

123
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: walked up to uh to a guy off the midway

124
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: and uh, it was Kenny Bozak with old he's ninety

125
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: eight point seven here in Memphis and he uh, he

126
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: was at this booth. It was the do year move

127
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: contest for Turner Dairy and he was stuck there recording

128
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: people doing their cowmu as they came off the midway drunk.

129
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: And then they were later going to have a move off,

130
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: which I didn't win, by the way, but I said yeah,

131
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: So he said, do you want me to he said?

132
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I asked him this, and he goes, so, what's going

133
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: on and he goes, oh, you know, the cow moving

134
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: and you know we'll have a move off. I said,

135
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: do you want me to move like ross Paro? And

136
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, whatever. So I said, look, I'm only

137
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: going to do this for the volunteer. So here goes

138
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: what I've done the volunteers. Can I start over again?

139
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: And he said, would you talk to our morning guy?

140
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: That was great? So I was on their show. And

141
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, of course local radio doesn't pay anything. You know,

142
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: you might get a free half of a steak and

143
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: a third of a baked potato with this coupon. You know,

144
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: they give me all kinds of prizes to go out

145
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: to eat and all that kind of thing. And it

146
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: was fun to do whatever I wanted to, uh for

147
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: local radio and uh but of course Ramire has had

148
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: bigger plans for him. He kept bugging me for eight

149
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: you gotta get on the Limboll Show. You gotta get

150
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: on the Limbo Show. Gotta get on the limb Show.

151
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, okay, Well I've done some songs,

152
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: and we recorded several things and and had him on

153
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: tape and uh so he put it all into it.

154
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: He was on back in the ancient days and quarter

155
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: inch shape. And I sent a tape to Johnny Donovan.

156
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: Waited a week. I didn't hear anything, and called Johnny

157
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: Donovan and went something like this, Hello. I said, oh

158
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: this isa I got. That's such a thing, and don't

159
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: didn't get it. Show me another one. So hung up

160
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: and dutifully got together the same stuff, put it in

161
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: a package FedEx all the way up to New York.

162
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: Waited a week, called again, Dope, didn't get it. Send

163
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,239
Speaker 1: me another one. Send him a third tape. I'm persistent

164
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: I might not be much of anything else, but I

165
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: am persistent. Send him a third tape. Called him and

166
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: he he said, yeah, we got it. It was great.

167
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: We'll be in touch. And I was kind of the

168
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: jack did. I kind of gave up, and Ramirez said,

169
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: you didn't. You didn't do any voices when you call.

170
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: I said, no, I didn't do any voices when I called.

171
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: He's he's real busy. He's got this big voice, scary

172
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: big voice, just like James Golden, scary, big voice. And

173
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. And I just said,

174
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: I just hung up the phone. He's a calling back

175
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: and just do Clinton. If you called back and do Clinton.

176
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: He's got it. He's got to listen to you. So

177
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: I called him back. He said, hello, Johnny, this is

178
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. And I know you and Rush are really tight,

179
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: and for some reason, he and I have really fallen

180
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: out over this gaze in the military thing. Can you

181
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: talk to him and put us back together as friends?

182
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: And he said, who is this? I said, this is

183
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: Paul Shanklin from Memphis, Tennessee. He goes, that was great. Good,

184
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: you send me a taper. Honest truth. That's the honest truth.

185
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: And I've been pulling his leg ever since. Uh, and

186
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: that's how I got started. He's he he kind of

187
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: coached me. You know, I didn't know a whole lot

188
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: about radio, and and Johnny has been my mentor and

189
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: coach and guide all along. And uh, we've had so

190
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: much fun together, although I have driven him a little

191
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: crazy from time to time. When did you start doing voices? Paul?

192
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you realize we had a talent for this? Well,

193
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: the thing was, it was something that came natural. My

194
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: my mother's family were marines and postal workers, and she

195
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: was a chemist. So you can tell that was not

196
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: the humorous side. My father was a veterinarian and uh,

197
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: his my father's side of the family, they all do that.

198
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they were known far and wide for what

199
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: they call in the country mocking folks. And people didn't

200
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: like people that mocked folks. And uh, when I worked

201
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: on the farm Tommy Swain, we used to say Paul

202
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: even me and hateful because I did his voice, you know,

203
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm not. I was pretty scrawny, so and

204
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: I was the youngest of five kids, so my best

205
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: defense was satire, chance and counters unusual circumstances and seemingly

206
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: unimportant events change the course of history every day. Let's

207
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: find out what happened on this day in history. So

208
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: you're having a good time. Oh yeah, you were right

209
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: about that steam. He puts on a real swanky party.

210
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: But he sure has a lot of kids to send

211
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: to college. Oh they're not his kids. They're massus is

212
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Who's they're paid to give massages for guests. Oh you

213
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: should get one. Oh no, I I can't imagine. I've

214
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: never We'll rely here. You don't really like it? Do

215
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: you really think I should? Absolutely? It will become a session.

216
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: And that's what happened on this day in history. Soon

217
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: the biggest tell us since Jeffrey Steele's dossier is not

218
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: hitting the shelves. Still mulling it over by Robert Mueller.

219
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: How can a story written to protect a corrupt former

220
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: FBI official by an equally corrupt former FBI official be true?

221
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Find out when it's leaked in little bitty bits leading

222
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: up to the mid term elections. Learn how quotation marks

223
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: and presidential tweets have actually possibly been used to obstruct justice.

224
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: That this isn't the only hotel bit in question, and

225
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: that Republican and Russian are both spelled with an r

226
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: if half the bias sources and the outrageous tell all

227
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: or true Donald Trump will lose House and Senate seats,

228
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: we hope unofficially leaked by Robert Mueller to the press

229
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: from now till November still Mully get over quoting anonymous

230
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: sources in Russian who sounds suspiciously like the Clintons. Over

231
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: the course of this series, we've been hearing the biographical

232
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: journey of Russia's life, narrated by some of his friends, family,

233
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: and fellow broadcasters. Today, author and former radio host and

234
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: fellow Radio Hall of Fame inductee Neil boards The Life

235
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: of Russia Limbaugh, Chapter seven, narrated by Neil Boortz. When

236
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: you think about what it means to be inducted into

237
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: the Paul of Fame, you might think first of legendary

238
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: names like Ruth Aaron, maybe Montana Marino. Here's a few

239
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: more for you, Freed, Harvey Limbaugh. That's right, members of

240
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: the Radio Hall of Fame, and Rush Limbaugh is obviously

241
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: right there a member, but unlike the others who typically

242
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: have to wait until the end of their careers, it

243
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: was clear early on that the Hall needed to make

244
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: room for Rush. After only five years of syndication and

245
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: overwhelming record breaking success, he became part of a prestigious

246
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: class of inductees in nineteene For a guy from Cape Girardo, Missouri,

247
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: fired from his first seven radio jobs before finding any

248
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: sort of success behind the microphone, the entire experience was

249
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: nothing short of humbling. So many standards of excellence have

250
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: been set by previous inductees, including tonight's, that all I

251
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: can hope to do is try to approximate them as

252
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: I go through my career, and if I am one

253
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: day judged to have done that, then I will consider

254
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: it to have been worth it. In the success, I

255
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: say what I say to the American people, and any

256
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: chance I have a chance to speak to them, I do,

257
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: and I am so grateful and so honored. Regardless what

258
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean to them, I am certain that I will

259
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: never mean as much to them as they mean to me.

260
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: After patiently waiting through a critical introductory speech from Sally

261
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: Jesse Raphael based on their political differences, Rush confidently strolled

262
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: up to the podium and delivered an acceptance speech full

263
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: of class, grace, and gratitude. In the speech, he offered

264
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: his thanks to the American people, family, and colleagues, and

265
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: ironically enough, his competition and those who disagreed with you.

266
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: When I came to New York, there was one man.

267
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: I said, here's the standard. That's what I'm up against.

268
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: Here's who I consider my competition to be. If Larry

269
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: King had not shown that syndicated talk programming would work,

270
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have had the chance. I thank Larry King

271
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: as well. I thank all of you. Thank you so

272
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: much for allowing you to run along. Thank you, no

273
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: matter if you're an athlete, a musician, or a broadcaster.

274
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: Being inducted into the Hall of Fame as usually the

275
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: crowning achievement of a long career finished as you head

276
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: off in the sunset. But for Rush Limbaugh, it was

277
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: only the beginning, with still more than twenty five years

278
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: of excellence and broadcasting to come. Hey, James Golden, here,

00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,240

Speaker 1: is is that you I. I learned a very important

301
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: lesson with that song. What did you learn? Don't quote

302
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: three Democrats in one song? I quoted the guy who

303
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: wrote the piece, Barack Obama. The magic Negro. I quoted

304
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and I quoted Al Sharpton, and I got

305
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: in more trouble than I've ever been in. And uh, well,

306
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 1: since at least seventh grade, Barack, the Magic Negro still

307
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: still remains up there. I think it may be my

308
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: number one favorite that you've ever done. And part of

309
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: it is because of the insanity that it created. The

310
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: left wind absolutely berserk, and it was. Yeah, it was

311
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: a song that was written from a piece that was

312
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: written in the Los Angeles Times and the columnist wrote, matter, Yeah, well,

313
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: what kind of flak did you get from it? I

314
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: was on vacation when it really got big. I put

315
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: it on an album and it it wound up at

316
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: a at a Republican event, and uh, somebody got wound

317
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: up and given out by a friend of mine just

318
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: giving out my album, and of course they looked down

319
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: at and some other Republican no doubt is the one

320
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: that turned him in because they were all vying for

321
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: the GOP leadership position, party party chairman, and uh, somebody

322
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: freaked out, and you know, it's it's it is what

323
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: it is. And there's a good bit of quote from

324
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: everybody that other than me that was involved in it,

325
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: and how Sharpton felt about it, Joe felt him about

326
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: him being bright and new and clean and all of that.

327
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: And Uh. I had somebody say, is there anything you uh,

328
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: if you had to do it over again, is there

329
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: anything you could do differently about the song? I said, yeah,

330
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: really there is. The base is a little tubby range.

331
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: All right, you do a wicked Lewis Farrecan the million

332
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: Man March and Louis Farrakans sort of yes, you know.

333
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: That's where I got my greatest compliment one time. The

334
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: greatest compliment I ever got was when my mother called

335
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: me and she said they played Louis Ferricon on the

336
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,680

Speaker 1: candidates trying to unseat Donald Trump, only one has proven

340
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: she can win. Hillary. Only Hillary can win over moderate liberals, progressives,

341
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: and socialists by reaching out and pretending to be whatever

342
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: you want her to be. She can be a hawk,

343
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: a dove, a sophisticated Yankee, or a diet in the

344
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: world pig riding Southern Democrat, and since she has proven

345
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 1: she can endure the physical rigors of the campaign with

346
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: some assistance and a d a compliant ramps and elevators

347
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,080

368
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: leave us with this. Your thoughts, your thoughts about Russilan Ball,

369
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: who he was, the impact, the funny, your thoughts about

370
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: working with the show and what you have gotten out

371
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: of the experience of working with Rush on the Russlan

372
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: Blood Program. Well, you know, it's it's one thing for

373
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: us to be, you know, in the background, and and

374
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: you know, we had our contributions. People knew we did things,

375
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: but he took all the arrows. And that's hard, uh

376
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: to to have personal people writing articles. And I got

377
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: a little of that on the Magic Negro and some

378
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: other stuff that I had done, but I didn't get

379
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: it for decades. And uh, to have the thick skin

380
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: and still hold your values up, that was that was amazing.

381
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: And how he's different to me than many other show

382
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: hosts was that he was interesting. Um, you know, we

383
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: all kind of knew it what the news of the

384
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: day was because we're watching Fox or we're listening to

385
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: something else. And before the show and we're thinking, what's

386
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna Russian us about that? He might he might talk

387
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: a out whatever the news of the day was for

388
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Then he would go to what he thought

389
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: was important, would be something completely different and more interesting

390
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: and more informative of behind the scenes and all that.

391
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: But he was interesting for three hours a day. I

392
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: had to do that. I mean, that's it. It seems easy.

393
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: But you've hosted, You've done some things in radio that

394
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: I haven't done. I've done a little bit hosting for

395
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: local radio here, and it wears you out. It's not

396
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: just you know, you get in front of a microphone

397
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: and talk. You gotta have something to say that people will.

398
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 1: You gotta be interesting for three hours or actually interesting

399
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: for five minutes because somebody will change the channel. So,

400
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he was. He was just amazing like that.

401
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: And again the fact that he would you know, he

402
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: would praise me, but he would let me do you

403
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: know what, I what I wanted to do. Uh, And

404
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: it didn't get in the way of that at all.

405
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: Um At one time though, kit Kitt said, yeah, is

406
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: this this girl, she's she works to the show, She's

407
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: got an idea. I'm gonna send it to you and

408
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, just do what you do, what you want

409
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: to with it, and and uh and it was actually

410
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: pretty good and I used it and and then uh

411
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: uh this time I got it. Uh, I got it

412
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: from Rush and uh. He said, you know, I want you,

413
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: I want you to do this. The same girl's name

414
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: on the on the email. Um, let me look at it,

415
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: and I might. And I emailed him back and said, well, look,

416
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: I like it. I really like it, but I might

417
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: change a rhyme or two here because I'm thinking this

418
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: and this, this, this, and I wrote it up and

419
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: kind of changed. He goes, no, don't change anything. It

420
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: was the John Edwards song I Am a Woman, and

421
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: it was written by Catherine And of course Kid had

Speaker 1: with comedy and music. A lot of people have done

Speaker 1: programs that people thought the audience would not be interested in,

482
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: pioneering stuff, and it was used to educate, to laugh,

483
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,880

499
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: made people aware of the mockery of the left and

500
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: what they really were and what things they believed in.

501

Speaker 1: getting good. It's getting good everywhere out there. I have

504
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: just about laughed myself into paralysis here about ten minutes ago,

505
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: and sturdily brought me something. It's in the New York

506
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: Daily News today that I missed on the lesbian farmers

507
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: story here. I don't know that I'm gonna be able

508
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: to explain this to you without cracking up. It's a

509
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: New York Daily news story. Rush Limball warns bomba regime

510
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: is sending government paid lesbian farmers to invade red stakes.

511
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: What they're trying to do is convince lesbians to become farmers.

512
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: He told listeners. There's a specific, sinister motive to the shift,

513
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: Limbaugh claimed, ruining conservative voting blocks. And then I said,

514
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm like you, I never before in my life knew

515
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: that lesbians wanted to be farmers. I suspect what really

516
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: ticked them off was my next line. And like I say,

517
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: I could have thrown in things like about zucchini and

518
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: and carrots in any number, but I didn't. I kept

519
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: it above board. The next line was, I never knew

520
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: that lesbians wanted to get behind the horse and the

521
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: plow and start burrowing. That's probably what took them all,

522
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: lesbian I wanted to get behind the horse. Even laughed

523
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: at my own line when I read it. My own

524
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,680
