1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and everybody to the Thursday edition

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. There is

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: a lot going on and we'll be diving into all

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: of it with you momentarily. But we wanted to take

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: a minute or two or more for us first year

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: to have a moment of remembrance because one year ago

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: today we lost the founding father of conservative talk radio,

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. As he used to put it, he was

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: a man, a legend, a way of life, doing what

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: he was born to do with half his brain tied

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: behind his back, just to make it fair, exercise his

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: talent on loan from God for over three decades before

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: succumbing to stage four lung cancer last year, a battle

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: he fought right to the end. Behind the golden eib Mike,

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Rush was larger than life in the radio universe, but

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: he also never wanted to make it about him. He

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: was truly focused on the conservative cause while also having

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: more fun than any human beings should be allowed to have. Clay,

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: I remember when we were first told together that we

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: would have the great honor and the great responsibility of

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: just trying to take up the fight because we both

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: knew right away. We looked at each other and said,

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as replacing Rush. Lombardi's the greatest

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: that ever lived, the greatest that will be in this

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: medium of radio. But I remember you looked at me

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: and we said, we're going to do We're going to

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: do our very best. That's exactly right. And I know

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Catherine Rush's widow here in

30
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: a little bit on the show, and over the months

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: that we have been sitting behind a couple of pairs

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: of golden microphones. As you well said, nobody can fill

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Rush's shoes, but hopefully each of us can fill one

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: of them. And that was the idea that Julie Talbot,

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: who made the decision to put us in and had

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: been working with Rush for decades before, doing such a

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: fabulous job. What she knew and what Rush knew, was

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: the battles that he had been fighting were only going

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: to be accelerating in terms of their intensity. And I

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: know many of you out there listening right now are

41
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: thinking about every time you believe it can't get crazier,

42
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: it can't get wilder than it is right now. Over

43
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: the past year, it has and Rush was maybe the

44
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: foremost defender of American exceptionalism and the importance of America

45
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: as a shining city on the hill in the history

46
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: of media. And he knew that the battles were going

47
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: to go on long after he was gone. And frankly, Buck,

48
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: you and I both know that the battles will go

49
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: on long after we're gone too. And what is important

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: is that Rush raised up a generation. I'm sure you've

51
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: met so many of these people in the ten months

52
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: or so that we've been doing the show, Buck, all

53
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: over the country who say, not only I listened for

54
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: a long time, but I'm impressed by people who said,

55
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I started listening when I was a young kid, and

56
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: I grew up with Rush. I mean, there are a

57
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of people listening to us right now in their thirties,

58
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: forties and fifties, twenties two who listened with their parents

59
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: in the car, who grew up, who had Rush as

60
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: that constant voice in their ear. And we know that

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: those people out there one tremendously missing Rush, but also

62
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: the battles not stopping. And that's why it was such

63
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: an honor and a privilege for us to be bequeathed

64
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity to sit behind the golden microphone and talk

65
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: to this audience that Rush grew over the past three decades.

66
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm in talk radio because of Russi Limbo. And the

67
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: amazing thing is that there are so many other people,

68
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: other hosts that folks listening to this would know, who

69
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: publicly say the same thing, privately say the same thing

70
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: that Rush was the one who made it feel so powerful, important,

71
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: but so connected, made it feel like you could gather

72
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: together millions of like minded patriots, conservatives, friends every day

73
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: listening all across the country. There was something deeply special

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: about that. And I've always said Russia in that sense

75
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: was a force multiplier. Right. We're sitting here because of

76
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: the empire of talk radio, of course that he built,

77
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: but beyond that, the movement that he really in so

78
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: many ways was, if not the originator or the creator

79
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: of a foremost general, one of the guys who made

80
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: such a difference for so many. And so we do

81
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: want to take time today to honor Rush, his legacy

82
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: and his memory on the one year anniversary of his passing.

83
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: We want to strive to honor that legacy by continuing

84
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: to do what he would want us to do, to

85
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: pursue excellence, to be happy warriors, and to live life.

86
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: You've only got one is He would often remind all

87
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: of us when you were listening, you remember that most

88
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: of all, to have fun and laugh. You gotta never

89
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: forget to laugh. We've got a couple of special guests today,

90
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: including his wife, Catherine's Clay mentioned and fellow legendary broadcaster

91
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity. And throughout the program you'll hear some familiar

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: voices from family and former staff on the EIB. But

93
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: again we know that Rush wouldn't just want all the

94
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: attention to be on him. He would want us to

95
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: be happy warriors. He would say, there's too much work

96
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: to be done. So we'll make sure to bring you

97
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: the issues of the day to day. We'll try to

98
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: make the complex understandable. We're going to open the lines

99
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: up as well if any of you have thoughts, feelings

100
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: you want to share about Rush on the one year passing.

101
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: But Clay, we continue the mission doing the best weekend,

102
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: day in and day out, to try to tell the

103
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: folks what's going on. So with that in mind, we'll

104
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: be going back to the legacy of Rush throughout the

105
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: program today, McLay for right now on the news, what

106
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: do you got, Oh, I've fired up Buck, and you

107
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: know this because we're talking about it off air, leading

108
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: in Doctor Fauci is at this point, Buck spreading one

109
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent lies about kids in masks. He said on

110
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: CNN that it's too risky to let kids out of masks.

111
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: And I want to give a shout out because we've

112
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: been talking about this battle for a while Loudon County,

113
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Northern Virginia, which has turned into one of the battlegrounds.

114
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 1: They have gotten basically complete and total victory in Loudon County,

115
00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: and all of the anti masking strong parts here, all

116
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: of them are slowly starting to actually add up. But

117
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: I want to play this cut for you Buck of

118
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci that has me so fired up. I saw

119
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: this just before we were going to do the show.

120
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: Fauci went on CNN and he said, it's too risky

121
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: to take masks off kids. Right now. Listen to this.

122
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: We could get lucky because the trajectory right now is

123
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: going way down and it very well may be that

124
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: if you take masks off the kids in the next

125
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: week or so, it's going to keep going down. But

126
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: you've really got to be careful. You know, you don't

127
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: want to say it's an absolutely wrong decision. It's understandable

128
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: why people want to take masks off the kids, but

129
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: right now, given to the level of activity that we have,

130
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: it is risky. Is he a sociopath? I mean, is

131
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: he a sociopath? I think that's a fair question to

132
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: ask it. It's absolutely not risky. It hasn't been risky

133
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: from day one on. We see all the numbers. I mean, Clay,

134
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: you sit here and go through drowning in a bathtub,

135
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: being in a car, the actual risk data for children,

136
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: and unless you're going to have your child living in

137
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: a literal bubble where they can't go outside and they're

138
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: protected from all germs, you just need to shut this

139
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: guy out. What is wrong with him? If you Drew

140
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: drove your kid to school this morning, I did, your

141
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: kids were under more more danger of death on that

142
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: drive to school than they are from COVID. If you

143
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: take your kids to a swimming pool at any point

144
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: this spring, summer, winter, any point, they're more likely to

145
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: drown there than they are to die with COVID and

146
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: the data. At this point, Safaucci tries to keep saying,

147
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: I am the science. I'm not trying to do my

148
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Fauci voice, but you can do it better than me.

149
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: But he says, I am the science. The science is clear.

150
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Masks have had no impact in schools. To their credit.

151
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: One of the top directors in Charlotte, Carolina came out

152
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: and said, hey, Mecklenburg County, which is where Charlotte is,

153
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: that had a mask man date in place, nobody else

154
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: around them did. The rates of COVID were no different

155
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: in Charlotte as opposed to the surrounding communities where I

156
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: live here in Nashville. No difference on the rates of

157
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: COVID where they had mask mandates on kids in Davidson County, Nashville,

158
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee versus Williamson County, which is Franklin, Brentwood. Six months

159
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: of data, no difference in rate of infection for COVID.

160
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: There is no way. And we've had lots of scientific

161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: experts for the people out there said well, you're not

162
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: a doctor. We've had lots of doctors on who disagree

163
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: with Fauci. Here's what's going on. Back he is trying

164
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: to cover for the teachers unions that are still arguing

165
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: that masks need to be in place. Absolutely, that's what

166
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: this is a political statement. There is nothing scientific about

167
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: his argument that taking masks off kids is too risky.

168
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: Right now, this is Fauci as a erect political voice

169
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: trying to give cover to the teachers unions. And by

170
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: the way, this is exactly what Rachelle Wilinski and the

171
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: CDC are doing. Two. They have to be able to

172
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: look at this data. They are lying to you. The

173
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: data is clear, transparent, and anybody with a functional brain

174
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: can see it. Every kid in America who is still

175
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: wearing a mask, it's because adults failed and adults lied

176
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: to them, and it is disgraceful and shameful. Otherwise, you

177
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: can just look at the data coming out or the

178
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: data that exists in Florida, which would show everybody. I mean,

179
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: if anyone was really curious about this, look at the

180
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: data in the state of Florida, which has what about

181
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: twenty one million residents something like that, and children have

182
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: been under non mandatory masking for the entire school years,

183
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: stretching back to what is the end of August, Clay

184
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: kids go to school early September. Yep, and it's been fine.

185
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: There has not been If there was such greater risk,

186
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: I guarantee everybody listening through this right now, it would

187
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: be blasted across CNN, The New York Times would be

188
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: doing the Aha I told you so, victory dance. We've

189
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: run the experiment. Fauci, Well, Lenski and the rest were wrong.

190
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: They were wrong. They've been wrong about every throng. Yes,

191
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: and the fact that this still is allowed to continue

192
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: buck it. I mean I saw this and I wanted

193
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: to grab Fauci by his little stethoscope and drag him

194
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: right into our studios and say, sit your ass down

195
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: in this chair. I would love for somebody to be

196
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: able to depose doctor Fauci and just grill his ass, like,

197
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: sit him down under oath and make him respond to

198
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: every single question and not this kind of shadow situation

199
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: where you know, if you're at a congressional hearing, somebody

200
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: asked you a tough question and then they flip back

201
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: to the other side they're like, doctor Fauci is the

202
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: greatest doctor of all time. Right. No, I want that

203
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:12,479
Speaker 1: ten pot lunatic loser, lying fraud to get held accountable,

204
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: and I want him grilled by intelligent people. You and

205
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: I could do it. If he would sit here, and

206
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: by the time he was done, his career would be over.

207
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: If I'm not kidding, If he came in here and

208
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: spend an hour with us, his career would be over.

209
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: I think we are seeing the possibility that he is

210
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: as soon as Republicans take back control. That's why you

211
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: have to vote. Sorry to cut you off, but I'm

212
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: so fired up about you have to send a message.

213
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: If you hate Fauci, and I do, and I know

214
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: Buck does. Oh yes, you not only have to go

215
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: vote yourself, you have to get as many people as

216
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: you possibly can, your friends who may not otherwise be political.

217
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: This is a time to send a message, a monster

218
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: message against the wires and the frauds like Fouch. It's

219
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: a pretty straightforward pitch for everybody out there. Vote against

220
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: the Democrat Fauci I lunatics, or you're gonna be wearing

221
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: masks on planes for at least at least another two years,

222
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: and your kids will probably be mashed up if you

223
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: live in a blue state. Next they're gonna try to

224
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: bring it back. If they take it away. I think

225
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: your point there is really good. They're gonna try probably

226
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: to take it away in advance of the midterms, and

227
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: then they're gonna bring it back as soon as the

228
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: midterms are over. Just no, that's why you have to

229
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: send an unbelievable message. And I'm sending you a message

230
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: right now. If you're paying too much on your mortgage,

231
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: if you haven't called my friends in American financing and

232
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: right now, because of the seven point five percent inflation

233
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: out there that Biden's got, the Fed's going to be

234
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: raising rates very short order, as soon as next month.

235
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: And when they start raising rates, that means you're fifteen

236
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: and thirty year mortgage rates are going to go up too,

237
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: and that means more money out of your pocket, less

238
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: money for you and your family. So why not make

Speaker 1: people get duovers, a lot of people have false starts.

252

Speaker 1: I have my share, got this one right, thank God,

253
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:58,200

00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: And I know it's hard on her. It's got to

257
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: be hard, it's got to be devastating of her. But

258
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: I never see that. She always hides it. She's always

259
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: put me first anyway. But in the last six months

260
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: or so, I haven't known what being put first is

261
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: until these past six months. Truly blessed by God with

262
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: her in my life. That was Rush, greatest radio host

263
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: of all time. Speaking about his rock person, always there

264
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: for him, always supporting him, his wife Catherine Limbaugh, and

265
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: we are very honored as we are paying homage to

266
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: Rush today on the one year anniversary of his passing.

267
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: To have Catherine Limbaugh joining us right now. Atherine, thank

268
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: you so much, Thank you very much. I just heard

269
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: Russia's voice there and he said that I always am

270
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: able to hide it. I'm not so sure I'm going

271
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: to be able to hide it after that, but I

272
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: will try my best here. Well, we really appreciate you

273
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: being with us and everyone listening. All of Russia's friends,

274
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: really his extended family, his listeners for decades across the

275
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: country really want to hear from you. We knew that

276
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: today they would want to hear from you, So thank

277
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: you for making the time for us. And we get

278
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: so many emails from people asking, you know EiV listeners

279
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: for years, Catherine asking first off, how are you doing well?

280
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: Thank you for asking. I'm doing as well as can

281
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: be expected. It's been a very very challenging year, as

282
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: it has been for everyone listening. We lost an incredible hero,

283
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: an incredible patriot, an American icon that cannot be replaced

284
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: in any way. So I think it's been difficult, but

285
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: I have been comforted by so many wonderful prayers from

286
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: this audience, from people all over the world who have

287
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: sent wonderful gifts and letters and prayers and I'm deeply,

288
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: deeply grateful for that. They certainly have helped through a

289
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: very challenging time. Catherine, it's an honor for Buck and

290
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: Eye to get to sit in this chair where we

291
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: are every single day getting to hopefully continue your husband's legacy.

292
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: And I know that it's been a difficult year for you,

293
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: but you have been working as hard as you can

294
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: to help to preserve Russia's legacy and grow it in

295
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: so many fantastic ways. What exactly are you doing and

296
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: how can everyone out there listening help that to continue

297
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: to flourish? Well, thank you so much. As I said,

298
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Rush was just an incredible pioneer, an incredible American patriot

299
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: that will never ever be forgotten. But I wanted his

300
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: legacy to and continue in the best way that we

301
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: possibly can, and that is to live out his ideals.

302
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: And the best way that I can think of is

303
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: to provide scholarships to younger people who have worked incredibly hard,

304
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: who share a lot of the same values that Rush represented.

305
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: And we created a new website it's called official Rush

306
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Limba dot com. There there's a lot of tributes to Rush,

307
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: there's information about the scholarships. We just recently awarded the

308
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: first ever Rush Limbaugh Scholarship. It's an American Patriot Scholarship,

309
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: which of course is fitting to an incredible young man

310
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: who just represented Rush so well. He was formerly in

311
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: the military, he had been through a lot of challenges

312
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: in his life, and he said that he wants to

313
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: carry on what Rush stood for, and that to us

314
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: just stood out, and we awarded the first ever scholarship.

315
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: We planned to award many more throughout the upcoming year

316
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: and years. Want to be sure that Rush is always

317
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: revered in the highest possible light, that he remains America's

318
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Winston Churchill as we all know he is, and just

319
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: the incredible leader. He taught us all so much that

320
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: it's up to us to carry forward and to continue

321
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: in our lives as best we possibly can. Catherine Rush

322
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: was known for his insight impressions, certainly among his listeners,

323
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: but just across the media landscape, the conservative media landscape,

324
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: everyone said, wow, Rush, was he saw it coming? Are

325
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: there certain things that over the last year or so, you,

326
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: just as the person who knew him best, had to

327
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: say to yourself, Rush called it he knew it was coming. Oh,

328
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: he absolutely did. He was an incredible genius. That way,

329
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: he could tell us what was going to happen in

330
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: the weeks and months ahead. I think that he very

331
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: much thought that this was how the country was probably

332
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: going to go under unfortunately Biden's presidency. He obviously very

333
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: much wanted President Trump to be in office. I know

334
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: he was deeply disappointed and upset with everything that happened

335
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: in January while he was still here to be a

336
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: part of it and see it. But he knew that

337
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: the country was going to take a turn. The policies

338
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: were going to go south. We were going to be

339
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: facing harder days, he predicted, and knew that. He could

340
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: tell you well in advance. The economy was going to

341
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: go down as it has. The borders, We're going to

342
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: go into a complete mess. Our strength in the world

343
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: was going to take a hit. He would have said

344
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: all of those things and more, And the most important

345
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: thing is he would have brought an element of humor

346
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: to it. He would have made us all laugh about

347
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: the fact that the car was somewhat driving off the cliff.

348
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: And now he inevitably is up in heaven looking down

349
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: and saying, please, you know, get us back on the

350
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: right course. Catherine, you've talked about you heard Rush talk

351
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: about how much you meant for him. I think people

352
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: would probably like to hear when did you guys first

353
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: meet and when did you think to yourself, this is

354
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: the guy that I want to be with. I mean,

355
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: obviously people experienced so much of him on the radio,

356
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: but his personality went far beyond what he said on

357
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: the radio every day. For people out there, what was

358
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: that experience like in your private lives and what was

359
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: that moment where you knew this is the guy? Sure

360
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Russian I met almost twenty years ago. We were first

361
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: friends for several years, many years. Probably in his mind,

362
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: he would say an eternity because I implemented the Buddy

363
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: rules early on, And the reason for that was because

364
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: he loved referring to the Buddy rules and pretty much

365
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: telling everybody about it. But the reason for that was

366
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: I wanted him to get to know me, and I

367
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: wanted to get to know him without any of or clouding.

368
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: So in the early days we were friends first, we

369
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: became incredible partners. I think when I first learned of Rash,

370
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: of course I heard of a lot that was said

371
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: in the mainstream media, the negative condrontation of him or

372
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: the reputation of him that was said in the mainstream media.

373
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: And as I got to know him personally, as I

374
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: got to listen to his program day in day out,

375
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: as we became such close friends, I knew and lived

376
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: with the greatest man that I could ever have imagined.

377
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: He was an incredible gentleman. He was incredibly funny. He

378
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: pushed me to be the best possible version of myself,

379
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: and I hope that I did that for him. We

380
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: would talk for a lot of time in the evening,

381
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: well after the show and when he had a few

382
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: minutes of not being involved with show prep, and we

383
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: would talk about the events of the day. I don't

384
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: think there's anyone that I will ever speak to again

385
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: that had that kind of genius to be able to

386
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: comment on everything everywhere. He had an incredible mind. He,

387
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: as I said before, made me laugh. I think early

388
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: on I just knew how huge a heart he had,

389
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: how generous he had, how he was just one of

390
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: a kind. And he made an incredible impression on me

391
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: from the very first day we met, and that just grew.

392
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: I actually think this final year was his best year.

393
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: He was the best version of himself. He was even

394
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: stronger than he ever had been. He was more in

395
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: touch with everything around him that mattered, namely our relationship

396
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: and his relationship with his audience, with the radio program,

397
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: and of course the country. But I would say I

398
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: knew early on, but of course I didn't admit to him,

399
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: so we could implement the buddy rules for a period

400
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: of time. Katherine, we have more questions for you, if

401
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: that's all right, And really the audience has more questions

402
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: because they've been reaching out and they want us to

403
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: check in, see how you're doing and just talk to

404
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: you more. So can you give us a few more minutes?

405
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Can we bring you back? Of course, happy to We're

406
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: going to talk to Katherine Limball, Rush's wife about the

407
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: legacy of the great man himself. We are remembering him

408
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: on the one year anniversary of his passing. We're going

409
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: to come back to that in a moment. But Clay,

410
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: what have you got for us? Pure Talk Buck We've

411
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: told you how much we rely on their cell phone service,

412
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: but how about hearing from other Pure Talk customers. These

413
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: are the words of David from New York. I was

414
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: very hesitant about changing from Verizon to pure talk. But

415
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I was shocked to learn the exact same plan I

416
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: had with Verizon for one hundred and seventy dollars cost

417
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: forty nine dollars with pure Talk. Next concern was how

418
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: difficult it would be to make the change, but it

419
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: was simple. Verizon quickly gave him the code number without

420
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: trying to talk him out of it. I now enjoy

421
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: This is according to David from New York, the same

422
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: plan but him saving one hundred and twenty dollars a month.

428
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: was a He was a man who had tremendous courage,

429
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: and he had tremendous principle and to be believed in

430
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: something he talked about it, and who had an audience

431
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: like him. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

432
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: We are talking with Rush's wife, Katherine Limbaugh, and you

433
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: just heard former President Donald Trump forty five himself. We're

434
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: going to be live at Mara Lago on Tuesday. Katherine,

435
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: I think that probably queues up a good opportunity here.

436
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: What was Russia's relationship like with President Trump and what

437
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: did it mean for President Trump to honor him at

438
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: the State of the Union like he did. You know,

439
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: I see a lot of similarities between President Trump and Rush.

440
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: They both didn't need to do it. They both had

441
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: lives that in Russia's case, he could retire or President

442
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: Trump could retire and continue in the business that he

443
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: was in. But they both saw a larger purpose and

444
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: a greater purpose, and they were willing to take arrows

445
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: on behalf of the American people. And I think that

446
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: they had a very unique bond in that way because

447
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: they understood each other very well. They both knew that

448
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: they were at the tip of the spear in many ways.

449
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: They both knew that they had to take the slanders

450
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: and the arrows that were thrown at them in order

451
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: to achieve the higher purpose. President Trump, off of camera

452
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: and not as widely known, he was so incredibly thoughtful

453
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: throughout Rush's entire illness. He would call probably more than anyone,

454
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: including personal family, to check on Rush. In the evening

455
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: after giving a speech somewhere. He would call Rush just

456
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: to ask how he was doing. He wasn't looking for

457
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: feedback on the country, he wasn't looking to see how

458
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: he had done on a particular policy. He was just

459
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: checking in on Rush. And I think in many respects

460
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: they were peers in that regard. I hold President Trump

461
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: in the highest regard for the honor that he bestowed

462
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: on Rush. That Medal of Freedom presentation was second to none.

463
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Rush was one hundred percent speechless and touched. He was

464
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: deeply honored. I said earlier that into someone earlier, that

465
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 1: that was a chance for Rush to see how many

466
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: people cared for him. To be honored in such a

467
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: way so globally by President Trump meant everything to us.

468
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: And it's something that I will never forget in all

469
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: my life. Katherine, you were a driving force behind the

470
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 1: widely you claimed Rush Revere children's book series. Are you

471
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: hearing from young folks eager for you to continue with

472
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: at it? And also do you have any advice for

473
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: that next generation of young up and coming conservatives. Yes,

474
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: we hear from young Rush Revere readers all the time,

475
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: and it's really a highlight of our days to hear

476
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: from young patriots all over the country. But we have

477
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: five books right now. We are thinking about working on

478
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: book six. We're going to have to think about where

479
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: Rush Revere is going to time travel too. But there's

480
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: a lot of topics going on right now, so I'm

481
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: sure there's certainly something that we could could talk about

482
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: in current events or in history. But the Rush Revere

483
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: series came about because we wanted to make American history

484
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: fun and engaging for the younger demographic. Rush had such

485
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: an incredible ability to speak to people one on one

486
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: and break down very complex issues. We wanted that to

487
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: translate into books for children or young readers. It was

488
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: really for the fifth grade reading level, but we hear

489
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: from people of much younger age and much older. But

490
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 1: we wanted to make American history fun. So through the

491
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: magic of time travel, Rush Revere and his favorite sidekick,

492
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: Horse Liberty, who was a talking horse, would time travel

493
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: back to key events in American history, whether it be

494
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: the Mayflower or the Boston Tea Party or what have you,

495
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: and they would engage with that particular event. They would

496
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: talk to incredible patriots like George Washington. They became a

497
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: part of history, and in that way, it made American

498
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: history very fun. So yes, we hear from young readers

499
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: all over the country all of the time. We definitely

500
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: want to continue if we can, and probably will be

501
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: working on book six here in the near future. Catherine.

502
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: We get a lot of questions from long time listeners

503
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: about your animals. We know you had three dogs and

504
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: a cat. How are they doing. Yeah, yes, this is

505
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: a very very important question, because yeah, it's certainly top

506
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: top importance. But they're they're wonderful, truly, there there are

507
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: children in many respects. So we had four old English

508
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: sheep dogs and we had a cat, an Abyssinian cat. Unfortunately,

509
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: two of our our sheep dogs passed away unfortunately this year,

510
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: and they joined Rush. But we since have gotten a

511
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: new little sheepadoodle actually named Winston. So all of our

512
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: dogs have very prominent names in history, because we thought

513
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: it was kind of funny just to call out to Winston,

514
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: for example, and have him come running. But they're all

515
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: doing very well. Rush loved loved his cat Ali, probably

516
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: more than anything next to the radio and perhaps family,

517
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: but he loved this little cat, and she completely had

518
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: him wrapped around her finger. But they're all they're all

519
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: doing well, and of course we all miss Rush, and

520
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: she certainly misses Rush a lot. Catherine, what do you

521
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: think Rush would want Buck and Eye to know last

522
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: month minute for your advice for us going forward? What

523
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: would he want us to know? And thank you for

524
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: spending the time with us. I think he would just

525
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: want you to do what you're doing in terms of

526
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: continuing conservative thought, continuing to have people live their best life,

527
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: to remain engaged, to continue to say how important the

528
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: United States is, how important our founding fathers are. I

529
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: think he would want you to have people actively engaged

530
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: in politics, to remember November that's coming up here soon,

531
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: to remember twenty twenty four, and to call them out

532
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: on things that need to be called out. And I

533
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: know that you're trying to do that and carry on

534
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: in Russia's honor, and that's deeply appreciated. Catherine. Thank you

535
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: so much for the time with us. We appreciated and

536
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: we know that Russia listeners across the country sending love

537
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: and hugs to you. Thank you so much. Play Travis

538
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:54,400

Speaker 1: and we will read some of them in the near future.

545
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: They are rolling in. We appreciate all of you. If

Speaker 1: copy of my most recent book, We Are If you've

548
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: been listening for the first hour honoring the legacy of

549
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: Russian Limbaugh on the one year anniversary of his death,

550
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: just finished talking with his wife Catherine about her experiences

551
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: with Rush and the radio show and more. Was fantastic.

552
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: If you're just now starting off with us, encourage you

553
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: to go listen to that first hour on podcast. Amazing

554
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: memories and experience that we just had with her. And

555
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: we bring in now a guy who has had a

556
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: longtime relationship with Russia Limbaugh as well. He is Sean Hannity.

557
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: You might know him from his fantastic radio show that

558
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: follows us as well as his show that airs every

559
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: single night at nine Eastern on Fox News. And Sean

560
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us. And I gotta say right off

561
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: the top. When did you first meet Rush? What kind

562
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: of experience in relationship do you guys, Hat did you

563
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: guys have and what do you recall about it? Oh Man,

564
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: By the way, first congratulations to you guys, Thank you,

565
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: thank you. When you follow the greatest of all times,

566
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: it's always hard because naturally people will make comparisons. You

567
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: guys have done phenomenally well. And I know Rush was

568
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: never a zero sum game guy. He always he always

569
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: wanted everyone else to succeed. He never viewed his success

570
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: based on the failure of others. Catherine's interview was great.

571
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: She also did an interview with Ainsley on Fox and Friends. Yeah,

572
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: I think they have two hours on Fox Nation, which

573
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: was amazing the first time. He wouldn't even remember the

574
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: first time I met him. I was up. I was

575
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: a local host in Atlanta from ninety two to ninety

576
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: six before Fox even went on the air, and I

577
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: went up to New York and I just happened to

578
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: visit the studio as a w ABC. I was up

579
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: to do Phil Donahue's show, and I popped my head

580
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: into his office and I just said hello. And his

581
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: brother David, who I love, you know, he's like family

582
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: to me. He had negotiated all my contracts, so we

583
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: kind of arranged a quick hello, and he was nice.

584
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: We did a contest once when he was doing a

585
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: TV show and I brought listeners up to New York.

586
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: We stayed at the Plaza Hotel. Wasn't the greatest, but

587
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: he was very gracious to me back then, and even

588
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: during the live show called me down. He had a

589
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: he was selling Rush ties at the time and gave

590
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: me one of his ties, which were really, you know,

591
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: very very unique and designed by by him. I think

592
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: at the time, I think we all have, really, we

593
00:35:54,840 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: all owe him a debt of gratitude. When Rush started syndication,

594
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: nobody thought syndication and radio in nineteen eighty eight would work.

595
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: And here's this guy was very successful in Sacramento, California,

596
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: and he comes to New York, the number one radio

597
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: market in the entire country. He has to do a

598
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: two hour local show. He originally started a syndicated show

599
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: as a two hour show, and all of a sudden,

600
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: I had just started in radio myself a year earlier,

601
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: and I remember when somebody came up to me and

602
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: told me, hey, Rush Lombaud if you heard this guy,

603
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, who's Rush? And he was on

604
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: a local station. I was in Santa Barbara, California, just

605
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: starting my career at ucsby very rightly threw me, threw

606
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: me out of the school and out of town, ran

607
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: me out of town, which got me my first professional

608
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: gig in Huntsville, Alabama. And he got to hear this guy.

609
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: He's a riot and he would do these things like

610
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: homeless updates, and he was funny, he was smart, he

611
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: was a conservative. He just pops out of the radio.

612
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: And from that day forward, it was it was just

613
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: obvious to anybody that will listen to him how amazingly

614
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: gifted and talented he was. The thing that I always

615
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: took away from Rush is that he always had a

616
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: unique take on whatever the issue of the day was,

617
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 1: something that nobody else would ever think of. I can't

618
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: tell you how many times I'd always like to listen

619
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: to his opening monologue and whatever the topic of the

620
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: day was, he would express it and bring up a

621
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: point of view, and I'm like, why doesn't my brain

622
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: think like that? He was that gifted. And when he

623
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: passed away a year ago, look, it was rough for everybody.

624
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: And I said at the time that he's irreplaceable, and

625
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: he is. And I said at the time that those

626
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: what would Rush want us to do. He'd want us

627
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 1: all to up our game and stay in the fight.

628
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: He was a patriot. He loved this country. He believed

629
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: in the individual, he loved freedom, he loved capitalism, he

630
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: loved our constitution. And he saved the AM band. And

631
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: he also reinvigorated all things conservative. And this is at

632
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: the beginning, at the end of Ronald Reagan Conservatism. New

633
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: King Rich will tell you that nineteen ninety four, the

634
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: victory that swept the country for the first time in

635
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: forty years, Republicans took back Congress. That wouldn't have happened

636
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: without Rush Limbaugh. He led the way. I was a

637
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: local host in Atlanta. I was the MC of news

638
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: event that night at the Cobb Galleria, and that was

639
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: the night imagined. Forty years in the wilderness, Right and

640
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: Republicans got back in power. Rush played a very big

641
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: part of it, and so he was the intellectual center

642
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: of conservatism. But he also simultaneously, music moved from the

643
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: AM band to the FM band, and AM radio is

644
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: beginning to die. And all of these stations start converting

645
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: over to talk radio or news talk radio, and he

646
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: played the most pivotal role in all of that. He

647
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: only could do three hours a day, so these stations

648
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: had twenty one other hours a day that they needed

649
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: a program, and I remember filling in for him. That

650
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: was the an opportunity of a lifetime. In the I'm

651
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: in the beginning of my opening monologue and the Golden

652
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: eib Mic and it is Golden falls down right off

653
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: the hinges. It's laying on the desk. I stretched my

654
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: neck down to finish the monologue. I'm thinking, okay, six

655
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: hundred stations, this is not going particularly well. And I

656
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: finished and Rush, I remember, it comes back and he

657
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: goes Sean the nned. He indented the Golden EiV mic,

658
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, typical Rush with a great sense of humor.

659
00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: And I'm grateful to him more than anything else. I

660
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: still have a hard time understanding that he's been gone

661
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: a year. I still expect to hear him. I love

662
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: that you kept his music. And it's such a loss

663
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: for the country, for conservatism and the one thing that

664
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: we all learned about Russia. And I said it at

665
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: the time when he passed away. We now know what

666
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: Russia's bucket list was. There's when he announced that he

667
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: had advanced stage four lung cancer. I think most people

668
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: probably were like me. You've probably gotten on the internet.

669
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: You probably started googling what is the latest advancements. We know,

670
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: for example, leukemias that used to kill people thirty years ago,

671
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 1: but they have a ninety five ninety six percent chance

672
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: of saving people. What's the latest on lung cancer? I

673
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: did my reading. There was nothing good that I was

674
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: really seeing. And he would go and take these extremely

675
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: harsh treatments, and his only goal was to check off

676
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: a box on his bucket list. His only bucket list

677
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: was to get back on the microphone, behind the microphone,

678
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: back on the air and talk to his audience. And

679
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: I think that spoke volumes about him. That was his

680
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: life's mission, his life's purpose. I would even argue his

681
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: life's destiny. That was what he was born to do.

682
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: I got a political cartoon, Clay. I wish I remember

683
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: the guy's name. It's so beautiful, such a great gift,

684
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: and I have at my office and this rushed at

685
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: the pearly gates and he has in his hands talent.

686
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: It says the word talent, and he says, I'm here

687
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: to return his talent because people used to take what

688
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: he said. It was tongue in cheek with talent on

689
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: loan from God. I mean he had this booming voice

690
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: and then liberals they would like bubble and feels like

691
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: Alka Seltzer at everything he said. It cracked me out. Hey, Sean,

692
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: it's buck. I just want to know if you think

693
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: Rush could tell his audience anything today, what do you

694
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: think it would be. I think he would want look.

695
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan said, America's but one generation away. Freedom is

696
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: one generation away from extinction. The thing that drove Rush

697
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: more than anything else was the passion and the love

698
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: that he had for this country. He was God family country.

699
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: That was Rush Limbaugh, and he embodied all of that.

700
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: Radio is look, I do radio and TV. You guys

701
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: do radio and TV. They're very different mediums. And on

702
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: radio it's a heart medium and people will sense your

703
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: sincerity and they can detect a phony pretty quickly. And

704
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: Rush had that connection with his audience. He was sincere,

705
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: he was honest, he was fun, he was lively, He

706
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: should loved to share his life and the things that

707
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: he cared about. If Rush got a passion for any

708
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: one thing was he'd go all in, all on board.

709
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: I went down to his Palm Beach studios once to

710
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: interview him, and Rush had a passion for all things,

711
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: as you know, Apple and Rush hands me two up

712
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: now one iPhone, two iPhones. He goes, I want you

713
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: to try this one. It's a smaller version than try

714
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: the big one, and then write me back let me

715
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: know which one you like better. I'm like, okay, Rush,

716
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: thanks for their free phones, right, and he just would

717
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: hand them out like they were candy. I think he

718
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: gave one to everybody that was there. He had an

719
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: amazingly generous side to him. I also think there's a

720
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: potter Rush that maybe people don't know that was maybe

721
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: more shy than people think. And I think he I

722
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: think he had to go through a lot because he

723
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: forged that path that made it easier for everybody else.

724
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: But as he was knocking down those trees and forging

725
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: that path, he was taking a lot of slings and

726
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: arrows and attacks. And I don't think it was easy

727
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: on him. I think it was very difficult, but it

728
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: made it easier for people like me and people you

729
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: guys and everybody else that's in talk radio to be

730
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: able to follow him, Hanny, Sean, Um and just any

731
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: any any last thoughts for folks about the one year anniversary.

732
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm very close to to his brother David.

733
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: He's He's negotiated every contract I've ever had in my life,

734
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: and I love him and I love his family, and

735
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: I just I'm thinking of him today. I'm thinking of

736
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: Catherine today. I'm thinking of his nieces and nephews today.

737
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: And I know that that Rush would want one thing

738
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: from all of his his dedicated millions of listeners, and

739
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: that's to continue the mission that he dedicated his life too.

740
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: And we'll think he's in our prayers, our thoughts, Um,

741
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 1: and frankly, I just missed him on this day. It's

742
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough day to think about losing. You

743
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: talked about the greatest of all time. There's been a

744
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: lot of talk about Tom Brady. Well, he was the

745
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: goat of talk radio for sure. Sean Hannah, everybody. Sean,

746
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: thanks so much for speaking to us today and everyone

747
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: across the correct guy you appreciate it. Thanks. Thanks. Sean

748
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: in Hillsdale, Michigan. It's a thriving college that's been a

749
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: part of the American education system since the eighteen forties.

750
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: Their mission is clear cut, provides students with the very

751
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: best classic liberal arts education. They're also dedicated to preserving

752
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: and defending this nation's freedoms as defined in our Constitution.

753
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: To that end, they've given themselves a challenge this winter

754
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: to give away one million free copies of our US Constitution.

755
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: It comes your way in a pocket sized document, and

756
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: it's available right now at Clay and Buck fo Hillsdale

757
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: dot com. Every American should have their own copy of

758
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. These two founding

759
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 1: documents established the freest and most prosperous nation in history.

760
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: Hillsdale's premise is that if more people took the time

761
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: to read what is written, we'd have much more agreement

762
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: in this nation and less division. We know they're not wrong.

763
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: To claim your own copy, go to Clay an Buck

764
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: for Hillsdale dot com today, tell them where you'd like

765
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: your pocket Constitution mailed, and they'll send yours to you free.

766
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: That website again is Clay and Buck for Hillsdale dot com.

767
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: One thing I remember I was so excited when he

768
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: finally inaugurated his national show out of New York. I

769
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: remember driving in town. I went out in my car

770
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: to listen to the radio, and when I was so

771
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: excited when he came on, I got goosebumps. That's my brother.

818
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: to Rush. That was over. Those were the two big

819
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: ones all the time, with the college college Republicans, the

820
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,960

821
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,880

822
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: very lucky. He'd have two incidents with mister Limbaugh. That's

823
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: one was funny as blaze is. Another one kind of

824
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: almost got me in trouble. First one was in Delta's

825
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: Crown Room in Dallas. I walked in. There's a big, tall,

826
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: skinny guy stand at his table and it was old

827
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: serpent Head, and so I said, hello, mister Carvill, how

828
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: are you? And I got Asper's autograph and he he autographed.

829
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I'm the only guy I think

830
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: on the planet that has James Carvill's autograph on the

831
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: inside cover. I'll be a Russia limbab book and Carvill play.

832
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: It was cool. Carbo was great when I brought it over.

833
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: He had this little goofy smirk on his face, but

834
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: he was really great. He's a nice guy. And his wife,

835
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: his wife Mary, I believe actually one sat behind the

836
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: EIB Mike and Mary is absolutely a fantastic lady Clay.

837
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: She sent me the most detailed how to visit New

838
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: Orleans email I've ever gotten about any place in my life.

839
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: So I'm a big I've met James Carville too, and

840
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: he is funny right uh and and honestly, um, he's

841
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: got a good sense of humor. He's a huge sports fan, right,

842
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: die hard LSU guy. And uh yeah. Obviously the politics

843
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: are different from he and his wife are such a

844
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: perfect example. He's a happy warrior Democrat though you know

845
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: he's I actually wish there were more people that were

846
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: willing to get out there and engage the other side.

847
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: From the other side well, and I mean he's been

848
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: willing to call out his own party for their absurd

849
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: wokeness too. Um. If you see a lot of the

850
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: quotes that he has given in recent recent memory, Um,

851
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: he's a totally different Democrat. I mean, to your point,

852
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: unhappy warrior. I mean Bill Clinton was a happy warrior

853
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: when he ran in ninety two with Carville is the

854
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: guy who got him elected many other stuff, I don't know.

855
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,760
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton is nowhere similar at all to twenty sixteen Hillary.

882
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: As we know many of you out there are long

883
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: time Rush listeners and are joining us today in mourning

884
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: his passing. One year since it happened. Now, the battles

885
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: that Rush so often fight, as you well know, have

886
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: not only continued in many ways, they have accelerated. And

887
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: there's no better example of that, right now than what's

888
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 1: going on in Canada where the effective this is basically

889
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: the Attorney General of Canada, right Buck came out and said,

890
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: if you are a Donald Trump supporter, you could have

891
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: your bank account seized. I can't believe he said the

892
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: quiet part out loud, but this is where we are

893
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: right now in Canada. Listen to this. A lot of folks, Look,

894
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: I just don't like your vaccine mandates and I donated

895
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: to this. Now it's illegal. Should I be worried that

896
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: the bank can freeze my account? What's your answer to that? Well,

897
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: I think if you if you are a member you know,

898
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: a pro Trump movement who's donating hundreds of thousands of

899
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing.

900
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: Then if you're a member of a pro Trump movement,

901
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 1: this is the Canadian equivalent of the attorney general. Folks,

902
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: their top law enforcement officer. The truckers, all right, I'm

903
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 1: sure some of the truckers like Trump. That's the truckers

904
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,959
Speaker 1: want the mandates to end. What's amazing is to see

905
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: that the Canadian authorities won't even speak honestly about what

906
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: the dispute is. It's as though people were striking for

907
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: higher wages, and they saying, look at these climate change protesters, like, no,

908
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: that's not what's happening here. But the fact clay that

909
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: he would then say, if you're a pro Trumper, you

910
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: should be worried. We may seize your seize your bank account.

911
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 1: Think about that would do to people. I mean, we

912
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: already have the Washington Post going after folks that donated

913
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. So you donate twenty or fifty bucks or something,

914
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: Canadian government may decide to seize your bank account. That

915
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: means no more trips to the grocery store, folks, That

916
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: means no rent payments. Yeah. And we need to build

917
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: on this tomorrow as well, Buck, because we talk about

918
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: the power of big tech all the time, and big tech,

919
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 1: like big media, their power is and how they decide

920
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: to apply the rules that they see that they seek

921
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,919
Speaker 1: to allow to become a trending topic or a big story.

922
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: Let me give you an example. Twitter, as many of

923
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: you out there will remember, would not allow the story

924
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: from the New York Post about Hunter Biden to be shared.

925
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: They would not allow it to be shared on social media.

926
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: Of course, the Hunter by and laptop is one. It

927
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: appears authentic and it is a part of this Durham investigation,

928
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: among many other different angles. I saw where Hunter Biden's

929
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: baby mama testified in front of a grand jury. They

930
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: believe London, I believe is their name, London spelled with

931
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: an e. Num was the one that he initially denied

932
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: having had the relations with, and I believe she was

933
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: was this Is that? Am I getting this right? Is this?

934
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: There's so many different sorted Hunter Biden. I'm not even sure.

935
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Okay, I don't want to get the

936
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: ones the lady, don't want to get the moms. But

937
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: the baby mama confused with the side chick with the escorts,

938
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean it's hard to keep tac

939
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: tabs on all the different directions that Hunter Biden's life

940
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: has spiraled out of control. But point is the laptop

941
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: was accurate. But you'll remember that Twitter said we can't

942
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: allow this to be shared because they argued that it

943
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: was hacked. There were hacked materials. They're allowing every single

944
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 1: person who donated twenty dollars to the Canadian Truckers off

945
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: of a hacked website, They're allowing that to be distributed

946
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: widely all throughout Twitter. So Buck, it's not only people

947
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: in positions of power in Canada, it's our big tech

948
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: oligarchs who are making decisions. I mean, I would love

949
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: to get somebody from Twitter on this program and have

950
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: them explain. First of all, I don't think they were

951
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: right to ban the Hunter Biden story. But if you

952
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: are going to argue the reason why we could not

953
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: allow that story to take place was because we believe

954
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: that was stolen information, it was hacked, whatever excuse they

955
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: want to use, we know beyond a shadow of a

956
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: doubt that all of these people who donated to the

957
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:48,959
Speaker 1: Canadian Truckers their information was hacked, that was stolen. That's

958
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: not public info, and Twitter is allowing it to trend

959
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: and be shared widely, and then these people are being

960
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 1: harassed over a twenty dollars donation plan. It's not true

961
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: to say that the left has no principles. They have

962
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: one principle, the will to power, and everything else gets

963
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: pushed aside for that. You see this, whether we're talking

964
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: about the social media companies and the alleged standards that

965
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: they have, the way that these other companies that are

966
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: platforms supposedly to raise funds for people always Oh what

967
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: was it? The law defying els was suspended by Twitter.

968
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: This is a well known Twitter account accidentally, Yeah, sure,

969
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: and now the Trudeau regime engaged in outright tyranny. If

970
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: Donald Trump had done what Justin Trudeaux just did, you

971
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: would have libs marching in the streets, tears streaming down

972
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: their faces, saying that America is done, not that it's

973
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: coming to a close, that it is over. So let's

974
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: all just be clear about the fact that they have

975
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: no principles other than whatever puts them or keeps them

976
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: in power, and everything else secondary at best to that.

977
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: We want to talk to Stephen Raleigh, North Carolina for second.

978
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: Here we wanted to wanted to share someone with this

979
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: easy listening to Rush for how long? Steve? Hey, guys,

980
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: uh mega diddos um Uh yeah, I've been listening since

981
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: I got out of the militaryis in the Navy, got

982
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: out in the early nineties and found a restaurant that

983
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: had a bus out front. It said Rush Bus and

984
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: I had no idea what that was, but I decided

985
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: to eat my lunch and that's how I got introduced

986
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: to the Great Maha Rushi sat Nate lunch in a

987
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: bus with his radio show being piped through the speaker.

988
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: So that's that's my where I first met Rush. And guys,

989
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: you know what a blessing today has been. Um, I've

990
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: been in the car all day. It's just a freak accident.

991
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: I had had a lot of Winshield time in my

992
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: sales day today and I got to listen and hear

993
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: Rush and thank you, thank you. You know, it's it's

994
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: pretty it's overwhelming, but what a blessing. Thank you so much. Um,

995
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: you guys are doing a great job. I'm gonna do

996
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: my part to make the hosts look great. Um. You

997
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: played the part with Joe bar Hair Bear Hair whatever

998
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: her name is. Yeah, yes, she's saying, hey, I'm gonna

999
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: choose to wear a mask. And you know what, that's

1000
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: the great thing about this country, the freedom that we

1001
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: are given to make a choice for ourselves. If she

1002
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: wants to wear a mask while she's taking a shower,

1003
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: doing the groceries, riding a bus, which you guys point

1004
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,959
Speaker 1: out probably she never does, she's free to wear that mask.

1005
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: She made the argument for everybody else that's saying I

1006
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: just don't want to wear one. I don't want the

1007
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: government to make me do something. We hear you, Steve,

1008
