1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, come to see his information on breaking news and 2 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: more bold inspired solutions for America. Our too, Sean Hannity 3 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: Show from Florida. You don't want to miss our town 4 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: hall tonight Ronda Santis, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rick Scott. 5 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: Should be a lot of fun as we continue our 6 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: lead up to the election, which is now only twelve 7 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: days away. That's it, twelve days from now. We'll be 8 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: going over the results, I'm sure twelve days from now, 9 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: but um, you know this time in two weeks. But 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: hopefully it'll work out the way we want. Look, we're 11 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: following very very closely a lot of Senate races all 12 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: around the country, and to the surprise of the mob 13 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: and the media, to the surprise of the day Democratic Party, 14 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: there are states now that are in play that they 15 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: never thought they'd have to worry about. One of them 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: is in the great state, the live, free or die 17 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: state of New Hampshire, where it's now between one pole 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: of one point race, another pole, three point race, all 19 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: within the margin of era are all achievable. And that's 20 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: with General Bullduck versus his opponent, Senator Hassan. Now, Senator 21 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Hassan had to admit recently that in fact, Joe Biden's 22 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: energy policies now not exactly working for the people in 23 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Now, last week, you may recall I told 24 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: you about the story that there is a real fear 25 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: of blackouts, meaning no heat for people in all of 26 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: New England because of the lack of supply of natural gas. 27 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a real problem. Never mind the 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: fact that or the early indication as the prices are 29 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: going to go up anywhere between thirty and forty percent 30 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: all throughout New England to heat your homes, whether you 31 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: heat it with oil or gas or electricity, it's going 32 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: through the roof and it's going to have an even 33 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: greater impact this winner because the average family is now 34 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: paying seventy two hundred dollars more than they were paying 35 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: for the same items when Donald Trump was president. Anyway, 36 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: here's what Senator hasn't said in this interview. The President 37 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: over the weekend said the economy is quote strong as hell. 38 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? I think there is much 39 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: more the administration needs to do, especially around energy costs. 40 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: She didn't really want to answer the question. Now, so far, 41 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: the mob of the media in every single state they've 42 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: given all of these Democratic Senate candidates a pass why, 43 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, her opponent in this race is 44 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: making great inroads into winning. He's been campaigning all over 45 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: the Granite State and doing very very well. General Don 46 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: Bullduck is back with us. So you're now within the 47 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: margin of error. You're in striking distance here. And we 48 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: now see polls that show Governor SONOONU who's you know, 49 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: the sonon new name is synonymous with New Hampshire. Uh. 50 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: He is now on the ticket running for governor again. 51 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: He's been on the show supporting you and supporting your 52 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: candidacy and you really can win this phrase. But my 53 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: fear is that Republicans on the national level and Mitch 54 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: McConnell and company, they're not putting enough money behind your campaign. 55 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: Is that true? Well, you know, Mitch McConnell did remove 56 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: about a little over five million dollars. Why he did this, 57 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure, but he went ahead and did it. 58 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: And but you know, the National Republican Senate Committee, Rick 59 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Scott and uh, the RNC under Rona McDaniel and others 60 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: came in to, uh, you know, fill the gap. We've 61 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: been working hard to do that, and we're getting pretty 62 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: close to making up the deficit that was caused by 63 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: the you know, unplanned, unscheduled reversal of Mitch McConnell's funds. 64 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm trying to understand why would take away money from 65 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: you and this is a race that's winnable and give 66 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: it to Lisa Murkowski. He's given now over ten million 67 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: dollars to Lisa Murkowski and she's battling a Republican and 68 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: Kelly Chewbacca is in the lead, and it seems like 69 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is afraid of Kelly Chebacca maybe winning because 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: if she wins, that would mean that probably she's not 71 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: going to vote for Mitch McConnell, especially after this. Well, 72 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I'm on the record in the primary. 73 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give it to you straight here. I'm 74 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: on the record in the primary and in the general 75 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: election as a no vote for Mitch McConnell as a leader. 76 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: That's just a fact, and that's exactly what I am 77 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: sticking to and what I will do in the United 78 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: States Senate. But you know, Maggie Hasson's not going to 79 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: vote for a month, So you know, you want a 80 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: Republican down there, a conservative Republican, someone who's going to 81 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: work to improve this economy, stop out of control spending, 82 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: secure this country, make our foreign policy stronger than you 83 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: should be investing in me. I have come up eleven 84 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: points since the primary. We're neck and neck right now, 85 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be bold and audacious here, Shana. I'm 86 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: gonna tell you I think the next poll was going 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: to have us ahead. I don't know by how much, 88 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: but I think we're going to do it. And that 89 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: is going to really shake the timbers across this nation, 90 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: particularly in Washington, DC with all the pundits who sit 91 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: behind their desk and think they know what's going on 92 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. When I've been doing this for two years, 93 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: every town in city, talking to granted status, and you know, 94 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Maggie asked. We just finished an NHPR debate and the 95 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: place was loaded with you know, her supporters, My supporters 96 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: couldn't even get in, and you know, all the questions were, 97 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, favored for her. It was a lions den, 98 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: but hey, I went in there and I slaughtered. I 99 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: slaughtered the lions Den, right it was. And she denies. 100 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: You know, continues Ton't I the energy is the problem. 101 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: She continues, deny that granted status are hurting. She thinks 102 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: that depleting our strategic or reserve is a good idea. 103 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: Suspending the gas tax is going to be a good idea. 104 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: You know, she's got a scooby Doo band aid and 105 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: she's trying to put it on a compound fracture. The 106 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: bone is through the skin up here. People are not 107 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: going to be able to afford food. It is a 108 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: choice between heating and eating. They're not going to be 109 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: able to pay their bills. We're going to have blackouts. 110 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: And that is what is happening up here. So I 111 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: need people's help at Don Baldock dot com. We can 112 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: win this, John, and this will be a victory for 113 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: granted status and the American people. Let me tell you 114 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: about an article on the Bloomberg News today and it 115 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: talks about, you know, the impact that Joe Biden's war 116 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: on domestic energy production, and they say, with two weeks 117 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: to go until the midterm elections, the US is now 118 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: facing the prospect of higher fuel prices amid the escalating 119 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: supply crunch. And then it goes on to say beyond 120 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: the gas inventories are at an eight year seasonal low. 121 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: All supplies a diesel, we're at like twenty four days 122 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: worth of supply. That's all we have. That is an 123 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: unmitigated danger and disaster. That's a clear and present danger 124 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: to me. And on the East Coast, the situation is 125 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: getting more dire with infrastructure constraints limiting fuel shipments and 126 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: prompting suppliers to start rationing fuel. I mean, this is 127 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: the United States of America. Now we're going to ration 128 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: fuel and they're talking about the entire power grid having 129 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: the possibility of going out all throughout New England. Now, 130 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: my understanding is is that the usual amount or supply 131 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: of natural gas is down by it's ten percent of 132 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: what it's normal levels should be. Have you looked into 133 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: that eighteen billion cubic feet is what we normally get 134 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: of natural gas, we're only getting two And you know, 135 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: as you say, we're at a national crisis with our 136 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: fossil fuel energy and people are you going to pay 137 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: the price for this? And they just sit there and 138 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: dismiss it, you know, out of hand over some green 139 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: new deal that requires you know, fossil fuel to make 140 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: possibility anyways. The country's not ready for it infrastructure wise, 141 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: we know that. But Sean, you know, we're doing our 142 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: enemy's job for us. You know, one of the things 143 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: that you want to do is take out critical infrastructure. 144 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: If you're the enemy, well, geez, you don't have to 145 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: spend any time on that because Biden and Hassan are 146 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: doing it for you. You know, they're depleting our energy. 147 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: I wish the election we're in the middle of January, 148 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: because then you'd win by fifteen points easily. Here this 149 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: article goes on to say that home heating oil suppliers 150 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: are now rationing deliveries to cope with the Biden oil 151 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: shortage that he's created. Here. I mean that means we're 152 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: going to have many American homes, by every indication, not 153 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: being able to heat their homes at the level that 154 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: they would like to heat it the comfort level that 155 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: they prefer and desire. And on top of that, there's 156 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: not going to be enough supply to do so. And 157 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: then add to you know, insult to injury here, we 158 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: may have literally people freezing to death this winter. That's 159 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: absolutely right, We're going to have We're gonna have our 160 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: elderly who are who are going to be uh, you know, 161 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: freezing cold. We're gonna have children that are cold. We're 162 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: going to have school closures because they don't have any power. 163 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: They can't keep properly. Children are going to be sitting 164 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: in classrooms with you know, gloves, hats and jackets on 165 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: and and you know, uh, you know layering. It's it's 166 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: just going to be unbelievable. And it's completely unnecessary because 167 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: we have the resources here to be able to provide 168 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: Americans with the necessities that they need at a very 169 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: affordable price.

You know, a whole generation of kids know 204 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: little to nothing about it. My own daughter was born 205 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: thirteen days before nine to eleven. Only Tennessee and Arizona 206 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: actually mandate K through twelve learning about nine to eleven. 207 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: I think that's a national disgrace.

There is a 298 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: conservative cartoonist out there, and it may be hard to 299 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: believe for some people, and it's Rush. At the Pearly Gates. 300 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: Saint Peter is there and he has a golden EIB 301 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: microphone and he's holding it out and he says, Rush 302 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: Limbaugh here to return the talent on loan from God, 303 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: and without exception, the crowd's reaction to it is amazing 304 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: because he was the voice of conservatism for generations. Now 305 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: Rush's wife Catherine has come out with a new book 306 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: along with David Limbaugh as well has been a help 307 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: with this project.

I was very honored. As I went 310 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: through the book. I saw a picture of me and 311 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: Rush from some years ago when we played golf together. 312 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: I was never the good golfer that he was, but 313 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: I was a good cigar smoker and Rush always had 314 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: great cigars. And they actually had a caption of what 315 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: I had said at the time, and I stand by 316 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: today and I said it many times when he was alive, 317 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: and that is you can never replace Babe Ruth, and 318 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: I'd take it a step further. Rush was Babe Ruth, 319 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: Lou Garrick, Hank, Aaron, Derek Jeter, and everyone in between. 320 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: And if you want to talk about the greatest in 321 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: radio of all time, the goat, it was Rush. It 322 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: ends up being the title of this book, Radio's Greatest 323 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: of All Time. And Catherine Adams Limbaugh joins us. Catherine, 324 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: great to have you on the program. Great to talk 325 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: to you. I know this has not been an easy 326 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,239 Speaker 1: period in your life. Thank you so much. Sean. It's 327 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: great to talk to you as well. You know, I 328 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: think of all of the time, and I was right 329 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: at the time. I knew that nobody could ever replace him, 330 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: and my answer to everybody was we all just have 331 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: to do a little bit more to try to try 332 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: and fill the gap. And you don't realize Mary Matlin 333 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: once said, during the Clinton years or after the Clinton years, 334 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how we would have survived if Russia's 335 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: voice wasn't out there for us encouraging us every single day. 336 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: And it's still hard for me to believe that he's 337 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: not there for those three hours every day. That's exactly right. 338 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: He really is a founding father in many respects, a 339 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: modern day founding father. I believe he's the George Washington 340 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: of radio. He said the standard, he was the pioneer, 341 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: and in many ways he's still with us today. He's 342 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: working through people like you who are out there every 343 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: single day talking to the American people and saying how 344 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 1: important in our country is, how important selection is. And 345 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: I know that through this book that we put out, 346 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: it is his words directly, It is inspirational. It is 347 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: very much Rush talking to Americans saying our country is 348 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: that special, it is worth fighting for. This election is 349 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: very important. We can never give up. It is never 350 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: time to panic, as he would always say. And I 351 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: think through this book people will very much hear him. 352 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: It is his words, it's his inspiration, and I think 353 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: people will be happy at a time when we need 354 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: to hear from Rush again. He was the leader and 355 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: he still is in many ways. He very much is 356 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: radio's greatest of all time. Let's talk about your life. 357 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the love of your life. From 358 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: every indication I saw you guys had such a great relationship. 359 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: You will kind enough both of you to invite me 360 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: to your very special wedding. Elton John performed at that wedding. 361 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,120 Speaker 1: That was an incredible experience for everybody that was there. 362 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: How are you doing? You know now it's over a year, 363 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: that's past. I'm doing well as much as possibly can be. 364 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: Of course, there's a tremendous void every single day, as 365 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: there is for so many people who listen to Rush 366 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: and his family and everyone who loved Rush. He was 367 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: deeply loved by so many. He was a friend on 368 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: the radio, He was a family member on the radio, 369 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: He was a brother, He was so much to so 370 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: many that I am absolutely hurting on a daily basis. 371 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: But I am taking what he taught all of us, 372 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: which is we must go forward. Our best days must 373 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: be ahead. And if he was here, he would still 374 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: be fighting the good fight. And that's what we're supposed 375 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 1: to be doing, and we're supposed to be appreciating every 376 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: single day that we have here, and that's what I'm 377 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: trying to do. I don't know, did you ever see 378 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: the cartoon that I referred to a moment ago. Did 379 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: you see it? Because I actually he sent me a 380 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: copy of this and I was blown away by it 381 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: and he signed it Gary Varvel Dot com as his website. 382 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: You know, rush limbought the pearly gates here to return 383 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: talent on loan from God, and he's holding out the 384 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: golden EIB microphone. And you know, I just believe there 385 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: is a special place for people like rush. You talk 386 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: about the goat, he is the goat. He's the greatest 387 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: of all time. And I think everybody in radio is 388 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: very grateful. I know I am personally because when he 389 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: started out in syndication, nobody thought it was possible that 390 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: daytime syndicated radio would actually work. And he had to 391 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: face he was staring at a forest of trees. There 392 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: was no path forged, and he had to knock down 393 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: every one of those trees. And he took a lot 394 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: of heat from a lot of people all throughout his career. 395 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: I can name a lot of examples that I'd rather 396 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: not remind you of of, you know, that were very 397 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: difficult times for him that I do remember. Well, that 398 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: is right, And I did see the cartoon. I absolutely 399 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: love it, and that is so true. Russia is so 400 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: incredibly brilliant. He was fearless, He was the tip of 401 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: the spear. He came out on the horizon before there 402 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: really was a Russia limbo of talk radio. He took 403 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: so many arrows throughout his career, but you know, he 404 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: loved it, and everything that he said on the radio 405 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: was so true. He lived and breathed his radio careers. 406 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure you do as well. He absolutely loved getting 407 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: behind the mic every day and talking to the American people. 408 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: He loved our country with all of his heart. So 409 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 1: I think that although he's not with us, he is 410 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: in so many ways because he has taught so many 411 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: people to think for themselves, to never give up, to 412 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: be passionate, to care about our country, to believe in 413 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: the American dream, American exceptionalism. Just like you, Sean. He 414 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: came from humble beginnings, or at least not what he 415 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: achieved in life, and he worked so incredibly hard. He 416 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: wanted every American to have that opportunity. He wanted every 417 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: American said believe in the American dream because he lived 418 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: it as you have and so many people have. And 419 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: he never wanted a flu side of that, never ever 420 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: give in, never downgrade our country, which is unfortunately happening 421 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: every single day around us. But that's right. He was 422 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: so capable of talking in a very easy to understand 423 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: way he made the most complex issues of our day 424 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: very funny. That was one thing about Rush. You know. 425 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: I referred to him as the George Washington of radio. 426 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: And there's actually a part in this book where someone 427 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: had called in and was saying to him, you're the 428 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: George Washington of radio, and Rush was very, very humble, 429 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: and he said, thank you very much. I really appreciate that. 430 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: And at the end of the call, he said, you 431 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: know the difference between me and George Washington. If someone 432 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: offered me to be king, I'd take it. That is 433 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: a great story. He was always so funny, you know. 434 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: That was the one thing about him. Even if he 435 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: thought that the country was headed for total tim he 436 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: inspired us. He made us laugh, He made our daze better. 437 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: And I believe that's what this book does as well. 438 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: I remember when I first heard him. I was in 439 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: a radio studio out in Santa Barbara, California, where I 440 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: started my radio career. And I don't know what it was, Catherine, 441 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: but the first time that light went on, my life changed. 442 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: That was all I ever wanted to do. And I 443 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: remember I was in the studio because I kind of 444 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: lived there, because it was my passion. I didn't last 445 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: very long. I wasn't very good. I deserved to get fired. 446 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: But once they took the mic away from me, it 447 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: was something that I knew I wanted to pursue. And 448 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: I remember that somebody comes up to me and says, 449 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: you gotta listen to this guy, Rush Limbaugh and he's 450 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: on KTMS in Santa Barbara. And I said, who's Rush Limbaugh? 451 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: And he said, you got This guy's hilarious. He does 452 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: this homeless update and homelessness was huge in Santa Barbara 453 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: even at that time. And you're gonna love him when 454 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: you hear him. And I remember hearing him for the 455 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: first time and it was like instant. You could just 456 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: tell that this, you know, this booming voice came out 457 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: of the speaker and just a phenomenal talent, and you know, 458 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: and then he paved the way for so many of us. 459 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: When he started in nineteen eighty eight his syndication, there 460 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: were only about two hundred talk or news talk radio 461 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: stations in the country. Now we're close to five thousand, 462 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: on top of all the podcasting and all of us 463 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: that have benefited from the path that he forged. And 464 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't an easy path. I remember those moments, I 465 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: remember the attacks. They were unrelenting at times for him 466 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: and he and I don't think he was somebody that 467 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: really liked to be criticized attack the way he was, 468 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: and I don't think ever expected it, but he had 469 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: to deal with it. That's right. You know, he really 470 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: did what he was born to do. He knew what 471 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: he wanted to do at eight years old. Like you, 472 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: he hung around a radio station. He was interning Cape Girardo, 473 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: Missouri and ended up becoming the greatest of all time. 474 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: But he did take incredible attacks and at his core, 475 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: Rush was very, very humble. He was fearless, but he 476 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: was humble. And nobody really liked those attacks at all, 477 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: and they were they were very difficult, very challenging for him, 478 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: but he took it as a measure of success, as 479 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure you do. He said. You know, the more 480 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: they talk about me, the more they slander me, much 481 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: like President Trump and others, that means that I'm effective. 482 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: And so he continued, he said, I really don't care 483 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: what they say about me, because it just means that 484 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm making a dents. I'm irritating them. He often said, 485 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm show prep for the so well well, by 486 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: the way, there was a lot of truth that for 487 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people, there's no doubt about it. I 488 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: remember the day that he announced that he had advanced. 489 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: I'll never forget the words that he used because I 490 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: paid very close attention. M David Limbaugh called me just 491 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: minutes before he was to make the announcement and said, 492 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna need to listen to Rush. And 493 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: that's all he told me because he had promised his 494 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: brother he wouldn't tell anybody. And David's been my agent, 495 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: as you know, for all my career. And anyway, I 496 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: listened in and Rush used the words advanced stage four 497 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: lung cancer, and I remember it took my breath away, 498 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: and I remember I called Levin right away. I talked 499 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: to him, and then I remember I listened to every 500 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: word he said. And then I looked up at the 501 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: clock and it's three oh five, and I'm like, I 502 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: have to I have to address this in one minute. 503 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: And you know, I had tears coming down my eyes. 504 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: I don't mind admitting it. And then, oh my god, 505 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: how do I deal with this? And then I was 506 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: just thinking what Rush had to deal with himself and 507 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: how stoic he was. And he said something that really 508 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: struck me too, that he didn't want this to be 509 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: a cancer show or a show about sick people. And 510 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: he did that for the entire year. And it was 511 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: a painful year, wasn't it. Oh? It was? And he 512 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: loved ya, Sean, and I know he's so happy that 513 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: you're still here today. But yes, it was very very 514 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: hard for him, and of course for David to know this, 515 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: but he wanted to deliver it to the American people 516 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: and all of his listeners, who he considered to be 517 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: extended family in the most personal way. He found out 518 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: about the cancer. We found out about it just a 519 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: little while prior to that, and we thought about, how 520 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: can this be announced? People are going to stop that 521 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: day and their lives will be changed forever. That's how 522 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: much Rush mattered to them. And he knew that. He 523 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: knew this was their fearless leader, their friends, who essentially 524 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: was being diagnosed with a terminal illness, and he didn't 525 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: want that to be the memory that they had of him. 526 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: He wanted to carry on right through the very end, 527 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: and that's what he did. He was on the radio 528 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: just days prior to us having to go up to 529 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: Boston where where he heard things We're going for the worst. 530 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: So it was a very difficult time. But I think 531 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: keeping normalcy, talking to his fans, talking to listeners was 532 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: what kept him going. That was so important to him. Well, 533 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: the book is a great honor to him. I'm I'm 534 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: grateful that you put it together. I'm grateful that you 535 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: even included me, and that surprised me. I was very 536 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: touched by that.
