1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael 2 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: Arry Show is. 3 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: On the air. 4 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoking. I can feel a good 5 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: one coming on. 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 3: It's the Michael Berry Show. 7 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: The reason we have cemeteries is the idea of remembering. 8 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: Different cultures have different ways of burying their dead, disposing 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: of the body. The community that Freddie Mercury was a 10 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: part of the Zoroastrians. 11 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: In Bombay. 12 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: He lived in Eastern Africa, but in Bombay they have 13 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: what's called a Tower of Silence, and it's like a cylinder, 14 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: like a silo, and bodies are hung like on a 15 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: meat hook, as I understand it, inside there, and the 16 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: buzzards will come into the silo, go down into it 17 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: and eat the body. And that is the way that 18 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: they dispose of they're dead. It's an honor to the 19 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: body and the way they do it. And I'm sure 20 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: that's gross to some people. There are all sorts of 21 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: different ways that we dispose of the dead, but in 22 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: most cultures, in one way or another, we have manners 23 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: by which we remember those who died. You know, you 24 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: think of the great poets and that their words lived 25 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: on long before photography, long before we had a way 26 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: to properly memorialize. We have art where we can we 27 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: can you know, Raphael for instance, could paint a beautiful 28 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: portrait painting and we would recognize that that is what 29 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: that person looked like, and we would we would we 30 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: would remember them as such, or sculptures. Rodin's the thinker 31 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: or well, you get the point of the sculpture. And 32 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: it's an interesting thing. In the modern era. We have 33 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: so much content, so many different people, so many different 34 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: things happening so fast. I think in many ways we 35 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: remember less than more because there are so many You know, 36 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 2: when you see the immemorial, it's our im memorial of 37 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: the actors that have died the year before. 38 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: You always say, oh, I forgot about so and so, 39 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Oh I loved him. 40 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: Our appreciation and admiration for Rush Limbaugh is so great 41 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 2: that almost there's not a week, certainly not a month 42 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: that goes by that we don't say something about Rush Limbaugh. 43 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: For so many reasons, because everybody on the show grew 44 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: up listening to him. Secondly, we recognize that there would 45 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: be no talk radio but for Rush Limbaugh. I've explained 46 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: this before. That's not an exaggeration. Talk radio is the 47 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: most profitable, powerful format. 48 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: In all of radio today. 49 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: It has largely replaced the FM music dial as the 50 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: dominant force. And none of that would have happened but 51 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: for the proof of concept that Rush became. Now there 52 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: is one show in particular. Bob Grant was his name, 53 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: born Robert siro Gigonte, and he dominated New York drive 54 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: time radio. You will hear handity to his credit, tribute 55 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: to him on occasion as to how much of an 56 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: influence he had on this medium. He was on WMCAWR, 57 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: WABC powerhouse stations. Bob Brandt and Rush would say, you 58 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: know what an influence he had been. But today we 59 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: pay tribute to Rush. It's almost exactly five days since 60 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: he died. I would have loved to have done it 61 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 2: exactly five days from when he died, which was sorry, 62 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: five years, five years. What I meant, five years from 63 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 2: when he died, which was February seventeenth of twenty twenty one. 64 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: I keep a couple of things written on as a 65 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: note as important dates to me. August first, nineteen eighty eight, 66 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: national syndication with fifty six stations. That's when Rush went 67 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: nationally Syndicated August first, nineteen eighty eight January twelfth, nineteen 68 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: fifty one. Rush born February seventeenth, twenty twenty one. I 69 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: have to crean my neck because I've moved it over 70 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: to another walk, and so I just wanted to pay 71 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: tribute to Rush today. If you tuned in wanting current events, 72 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: we're not a current event show anyway. My apologies, that's 73 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: not what we're going to do today. So if that 74 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: bums you out, then then it'll just have to bum 75 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: you out, and you know, I'll catch you on the 76 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: flip side. But today we will pay tribute to Rush Limbaugh. 77 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: There will be some Rush Limbaugh audio and some commentary 78 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: on Rush Limbaugh, and we will start with Rush Limbaugh 79 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: going after Bill Clinton. Boy, I wish Rush could have 80 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: lived to see Bill Clinton in the sling over this 81 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: Epstein stuff. 82 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: Service for Ron Brown. Go ahead and roll that tape 83 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: if we have it. 84 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: This is the one where ladies laughing color the big 85 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 4: jump sees the camera.

I just I just 89 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 4: how many of you had seen this before? This program? 90 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 6: This? 91 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 4: Then, this is last Thursday, ladies, some of them haven't 92 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 4: seen it.

A 108 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 3: depression is when you lose your berry, and recovery is 109 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: when Jimmy Carter loses his. 110 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: Ramon pointed out that my choice of that first bit 111 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: of audio was not from the Rush limballa radio program, 112 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: and that's true, but let me explain why I. 113 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: Chose that particular clip. 114 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to imagine how things were before 115 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: they were the way they are. 116 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: And how different. That was the idea. 117 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: You know, in my upbringing, you didn't have a cell phone. 118 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: So you know, young people, my kids here, I say, 119 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: you know, we didn't have cell phones growing They okay, great, 120 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: didn't have cell phones, but you don't understand everything that 121 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: goes along with that. That meant that if you liked 122 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: the girl, you would get her number. That was her 123 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: home number. That was the number her brothers and sisters, 124 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: her mother, and her vo used. So when he got 125 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: home from work and his feet ached. I lived around 126 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: plant operators. But you know guys that worked at chemical plants, 127 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: they're tired, they're mean. They'd come in the house, this 128 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: was the seventies and eighties, that cracked their first beer. 129 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: That'd sit down in their lazy boy recliner. They'd turn 130 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: on the television. They have to go turn it on, 131 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: or have the kids turn it on. The put on whatever, 132 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: you know, the news or whatever five thirty news, pull 133 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: the lever and put their feet up, take their boots off. 134 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: And when the phone rang, if. 135 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: The wife wasn't home from getting the groceries, or she 136 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: was outside or whatever, and they had to go pick 137 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: it up, they're aggravated, so they'd go, ah, Chid, but 138 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: it could be anybody. You don't know who it is. 139 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: The phones ringing and that ring man that ring was 140 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: it would jar you. You wanted it to stop, and 141 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: you did get up, you know, get it yep. Smith family, 142 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: and you'd say in your little voice, that hadn't that 143 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: hadn't changed yet. 144 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: Is Jennifer there? 145 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: Because every girl was named Jennifer when I was growing up, 146 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: Jennifer or Julie. That's every girl was named Jennifer. 147 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: Julie's Jennifer there? And he'd say, no, no, she's not. 148 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: And he didn't want you call and he knew it 149 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: was a boy, even though your voice hadn't changed, your 150 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: stuff hadn't dropped. He didn't want you around his girl 151 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: because he's a man and he knows what he did 152 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: as a young man and he didn't want that done 153 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 2: to his daughter. 154 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: So he has no interest in helping you connect. No 155 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: she's not. Okay, well that's not real helpful, mister Smith. 156 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: But you didn't say that.

I'm having 159 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: a beer in my day. So he'd hang up, and 160 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: you'd sit and you want to talk to her. So 161 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: maybe maybe you'd wait an hour ring Ra'll now he'd 162 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: get up, come away Smith family, Oh hi. 163 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: Is is Jennifer? 164 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 4: No? 165 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: No, she's still not home. 166 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: I tell it, give me your name and I'll tell 167 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: her to call you when she gets home. 168 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: Okay. 169 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: And then if he didn't give her the message, you 170 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: didn't talk. Today, if somebody wants to talk to you 171 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: and they can't get a hold of you within. 172 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: One minute, they're losing their mind. 173 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: Right. 174 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: But back then, so when you say there was a 175 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: time we didn't have cell phones, it's so much bigger 176 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: than a cell phone. It's how life was different before 177 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 2: Rush Limbaugh. I want to go back to that clip 178 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: when Rush Limbaugh is talking about Bill Clinton. He is 179 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: making fun of something that happened at a funeral that 180 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: would have never happened before. But he's exposing the hypocrisy 181 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: that is Clinton, who can cry on command. There were 182 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 2: a lot of theories out there about Ron Brown's death 183 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: in that plane crash and what he was up to 184 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 2: and who was involved, and who was on the plane 185 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: and who whether it was intentional, But there's Bill Clinton 186 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: yucking it up. And you would have never known that ABC, CBS. 187 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: That's all you had. 188 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,479 Speaker 2: You didn't have intrepid reporters or citizen journalists or various networks, 189 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: and so you would have just all you would have 190 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: seen on the evening news was President Clinton today was 191 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: distraught at the funeral for his Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. 192 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: Let's go now, just Susie, but Tussie, who's there on 193 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: the scene. Thank you, John. A very somber moment at 194 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 2: Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown's funeral. His widow said, this 195 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 2: is a dark, dark day, his children wearing all black, 196 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: and President Clinton leading the nation in a prayer of 197 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: solemn sadness. Now back to you, John, and you'd go out. 198 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: And then Rush came in. And again he has the 199 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: benefit of video here which he never has any other time. 200 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: But Rush is exposing these people are clowns. It is 201 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: hard to understand. It is hard for me to explain 202 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: how groundbreaking this was to the world we live in now, 203 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: where every time you see something you assume that's not 204 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: what's really happening. There's more to Rush taught us that 205 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: Rush pool back the curtain. He explained what was happening. 206 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: So now when you see Bill Clinton boohooing at a 207 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: funeral for his commerce secretary. You always wonder, Oh, I 208 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 2: bet he's grabbing some girls skirt ten. 209 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: Seconds before that. 210 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: So just the audio of his TV show, now you 211 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: can really appreciate how groundbreaking that was at that moment. 212 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 4: Turvice for Ron Brown. 213 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: Go ahead and roll that tape if we have it. 214 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 4: This is the one weird ladies laughing coming the big 215 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 4: joke sees the camera. Oh no, let's cry. 216 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: Have you seen this? Is this not incredible? Have you 217 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: all seen that before? 218 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 4: I just how many of you had seen this before 219 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 4: this program? 220 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 5: Oh? 221 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 4: Then this is last Thursday, ladies, some of them haven't 222 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 4: seen it. I met many of you haven't. Here last Thursday, 223 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 4: there's a memorial service to Ron Brown. Bill Clinton is 224 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 4: leaving it and he's laughing about selling big time jokes 225 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: with his secret service person whoever is standing next to him. 226 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: And spots a camera way over there. 227 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: And watch it the slow motioning. 228 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: You'll see it here. 229 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 4: It is once again, write sunny day. 230 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Look at everybody's smiling. Here see the president. 231 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 4: You'll see him just a moment laughing, telling a joke. 232 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 4: Spots the camera watched the face. 233 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: Watch this now here comes a tear. We got a 234 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: tear here. 235 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 4: And the other guy's still laughing, if you know, I mean, 236 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: he don't even know what's going on. 237 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: It's been five years since we lost Russell Lombaugh. He 238 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: taught us not to trust whatever they put on our 239 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: evening news. He taught us not to trust what they said. Intuitively, 240 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: we all had a little trepidation and skepticism, but he 241 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: laid it all bare. He is the reason we had 242 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: a revolution in ninety four. He is the reason for 243 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: the Tea Party. He is the reason for Maga. It 244 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: all flows from Russe Limba. I think about Machiavelli. I 245 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: think about how seminal his words and ideas were to 246 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: where we are today. American politics, particularly on the right, 247 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: was stodgy. The Republican Party of Wilkie and Hoover and 248 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: gold Water. That was a Republican party of blue blood 249 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: country club uptight, purely white people, and it was devoid 250 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: of any sense of populism, in any real sense of nationalism. 251 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: It was a neo con pro war false. 252 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: Patriotism of flag waving that wasn't really true to our country. 253 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: What Rush ushered in which, to his credit, Nixon had 254 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: capitalized on before that. But what Rush really ushered in 255 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: was what came to be the Trump Coalition, and it's 256 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: much more accessible. Every American can be part of it. 257 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 2: And in that sense, Rush became the professor that a 258 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: lot of people who never went to college looked to. 259 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: This past weekend, there was a memorial for my favorite professor, 260 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: Lawrence Curry, and he estimated that he had taught twenty 261 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: thousand kids. 262 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: Over the years. You think about that. 263 00:16:59,560 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 5: Wow. 264 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 2: And he married later in life, and the woman he married, 265 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: her son came up and said that Professor Curry had 266 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: told him that I was his best student ever. I said, well, 267 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: that doesn't mean favorite, but okay, whatever that means. I 268 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: was so proud of myself. What a silly thing to 269 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 2: be somehow, but I was. I was because he was 270 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: my favorite and I wanted to be his favorite. Rush 271 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: was everybody's professor. He was more than some talking hand, 272 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: some yapping shock job. 273 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: He was everybody's professor. We learned from him. 274 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: He taught us things that we didn't know that were 275 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 2: beyond just civics. There were psychology, they were self improvement, 276 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: They were how the real world works. This is Russia's 277 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 2: this is Russia's position on what America's immigration policy ought 278 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: to be. 279 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 4: Everybody's making immigration proposals these days. Let me add mine 280 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 4: to the mix. Call it the Limball laws. First, you 281 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 4: immigrate to our country, you have to speak the native language. 282 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 4: You have to be a professional or an investor. No 283 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 4: unskilled workers allowed. Also, there'll be no special bilingual programs 284 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 4: in the schools with the Limball laws, no special ballots 285 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: for elections. No government business will be conducted in your language. 286 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 4: Foreigners will not have the right to vote or hold 287 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 4: political office. If you're in our country, you cannot be 288 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 4: a burden to taxpayers. You are not entitled to welfare 289 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 4: or food stamps or other government goodies. You can come 290 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 4: if you invest here an amount equal to forty thousand 291 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 4: times a daily minimum wage. If not, stay home, But 292 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 4: if you want to buy land, it'll be restricted. 293 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: No waterfront, for instance. 294 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 4: And as a foreigner, you have to relinquish individual rights 295 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 4: to the property. 296 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: And another thing, you don't have the right to protest. 297 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 4: You're allowed no demonstrations, no foreign flag waving, no political organizing, 298 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 4: no bad mouthing our president or his policies. Foreigner, shut 299 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 4: your mouth or get out. And if you come here illegally, 300 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 4: You're going to jail. Now you think the limbo laws 301 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 4: are harsh, Well, every one of the laws I just 302 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 4: mentioned are actual laws of Mexico today. That's how the 303 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 4: Mexican government handles immigrants to their country. Yet Mexicans come 304 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 4: here illegally and protest in our streets. How do you 305 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 4: say double standard in Spanish? How about no moss? 306 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: The boldness to say things that would be offensive to 307 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: the left, But it was so much more than just 308 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: being a contrarian or just being fearless. Is that here's 309 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: a man who himself had not gone to college, who 310 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: was really an autodidact, self taught. Now, his father was 311 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 2: a lawyer and apparently a very well read man. His 312 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: brother David is a very well read man who has 313 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: written quite a bit. Rush After his second book, I 314 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 2: remember a caller asked, you know, will you write another book? 315 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 2: And he said, no, I don't have an iron butt. 316 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: And the writer's life was not for him. 317 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: He wanted to do the. 318 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: Show, engage with listeners, and go play golf and watch football, 319 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: and those were his passions and he understood that. But 320 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: the fact that he was able to structure in such 321 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: a concise manner, a policy that is a real policy. 322 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: The fact that he was able to root that in, 323 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 2: you know, the kind of Paul Harvey delivery where you 324 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: learn the rest of the story.

They just get up and do what 499 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 6: they do every day, and they and in the process 500 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 6: make this all work. And then they use everything God 501 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 6: given that they have that is fueled by their freedom. 502 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 6: And that's what sets this country apart. It's what's always 503 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 6: set this country apart. It's the it's the root of 504 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 6: American exceptionalism. So that's very kind of you, Bernie, and 505 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 6: you're and your wife sitting around thinking about it. 506 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: I thought of about that call a lot, first hearted. 507 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: I don't know a week or so ago when we 508 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 2: were going through clips and listening to we have so many, 509 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 2: probably hundreds, and Jim Mudd suggested, well, you're always talking 510 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: about him as a professor, what about this one? 511 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: And it's perfect for that. 512 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: But what's amazing about that is the there is no 513 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 2: French dream or Ugan, it's the American dream. 514 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: That concept doesn't exist where else. Think about that for 515 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: a moment. 516 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: The idea of social mobility, the rags to riches, the opportunity, 517 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 2: and how many people came to this country for the 518 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 2: American dream and wish to transform this country into the 519 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 2: country they came from because that's where they're comfortable, and 520 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 2: that would destroy the American dream.
