WEBVTT - Remembering Rush - October 27th, Hour 2

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, come to see his information on breaking news and

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>more bold inspired solutions for America. Our too, Sean Hannity

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Show from Florida. You don't want to miss our town

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>hall tonight Ronda Santis, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rick Scott.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Should be a lot of fun as we continue our

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>lead up to the election, which is now only twelve

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>days away. That's it, twelve days from now. We'll be

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>going over the results, I'm sure twelve days from now,

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>but um, you know this time in two weeks. But

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>hopefully it'll work out the way we want. Look, we're

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>following very very closely a lot of Senate races all

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>around the country, and to the surprise of the mob

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and the media, to the surprise of the day Democratic Party,

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>there are states now that are in play that they

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>never thought they'd have to worry about. One of them

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>is in the great state, the live, free or die

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>state of New Hampshire, where it's now between one pole

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>of one point race, another pole, three point race, all

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>within the margin of era are all achievable. And that's

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>with General Bullduck versus his opponent, Senator Hassan. Now, Senator

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Hassan had to admit recently that in fact, Joe Biden's

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>energy policies now not exactly working for the people in

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire. Now, last week, you may recall I told

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you about the story that there is a real fear

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of blackouts, meaning no heat for people in all of

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>New England because of the lack of supply of natural gas.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a real problem. Never mind the

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>fact that or the early indication as the prices are

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>going to go up anywhere between thirty and forty percent

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>all throughout New England to heat your homes, whether you

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>heat it with oil or gas or electricity, it's going

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>through the roof and it's going to have an even

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>greater impact this winner because the average family is now

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>paying seventy two hundred dollars more than they were paying

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>for the same items when Donald Trump was president. Anyway,

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>here's what Senator hasn't said in this interview. The President

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend said the economy is quote strong as hell.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with that? I think there is much

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>more the administration needs to do, especially around energy costs.

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>She didn't really want to answer the question. Now, so far,

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the mob of the media in every single state they've

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>given all of these Democratic Senate candidates a pass why,

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Anyway, her opponent in this race is

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>making great inroads into winning. He's been campaigning all over

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the Granite State and doing very very well. General Don

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Bullduck is back with us. So you're now within the

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>margin of error. You're in striking distance here. And we

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>now see polls that show Governor SONOONU who's you know,

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the sonon new name is synonymous with New Hampshire. Uh.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>He is now on the ticket running for governor again.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>He's been on the show supporting you and supporting your

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>candidacy and you really can win this phrase. But my

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>fear is that Republicans on the national level and Mitch

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>McConnell and company, they're not putting enough money behind your campaign.

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>Is that true? Well, you know, Mitch McConnell did remove

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>about a little over five million dollars. Why he did this,

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exactly sure, but he went ahead and did it.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>And but you know, the National Republican Senate Committee, Rick

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Scott and uh, the RNC under Rona McDaniel and others

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>came in to, uh, you know, fill the gap. We've

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>been working hard to do that, and we're getting pretty

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>close to making up the deficit that was caused by

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the you know, unplanned, unscheduled reversal of Mitch McConnell's funds.

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to understand why would take away money from

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you and this is a race that's winnable and give

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>it to Lisa Murkowski. He's given now over ten million

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>dollars to Lisa Murkowski and she's battling a Republican and

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Kelly Chewbacca is in the lead, and it seems like

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell is afraid of Kelly Chebacca maybe winning because

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>if she wins, that would mean that probably she's not

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 1>going to vote for Mitch McConnell, especially after this. Well,

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, I'm on the record in the primary.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna give it to you straight here. I'm

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>on the record in the primary and in the general

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>election as a no vote for Mitch McConnell as a leader.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>That's just a fact, and that's exactly what I am

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>sticking to and what I will do in the United

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>States Senate. But you know, Maggie Hasson's not going to

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>vote for a month, So you know, you want a

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Republican down there, a conservative Republican, someone who's going to

0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 1>work to improve this economy, stop out of control spending,

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>secure this country, make our foreign policy stronger than you

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>should be investing in me. I have come up eleven

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>points since the primary. We're neck and neck right now,

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna be bold and audacious here, Shana. I'm

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you I think the next poll was going

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to have us ahead. I don't know by how much,

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>but I think we're going to do it. And that

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 1>is going to really shake the timbers across this nation,

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>particularly in Washington, DC with all the pundits who sit

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>behind their desk and think they know what's going on

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in New Hampshire. When I've been doing this for two years,

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 1>every town in city, talking to granted status, and you know,

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Maggie asked. We just finished an NHPR debate and the

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>place was loaded with you know, her supporters, My supporters

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even get in, and you know, all the questions were,

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, favored for her. It was a lions den,

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>but hey, I went in there and I slaughtered. I

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>slaughtered the lions Den, right it was. And she denies.

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, continues Ton't I the energy is the problem.

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>She continues, deny that granted status are hurting. She thinks

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>that depleting our strategic or reserve is a good idea.

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Suspending the gas tax is going to be a good idea.

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, she's got a scooby Doo band aid and

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>she's trying to put it on a compound fracture. The

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>bone is through the skin up here. People are not

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to afford food. It is a

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>choice between heating and eating. They're not going to be

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>able to pay their bills. We're going to have blackouts.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 1>And that is what is happening up here. So I

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>need people's help at Don Baldock dot com. We can

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>win this, John, and this will be a victory for

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>granted status and the American people. Let me tell you

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>about an article on the Bloomberg News today and it

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>talks about, you know, the impact that Joe Biden's war

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>on domestic energy production, and they say, with two weeks

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to go until the midterm elections, the US is now

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>facing the prospect of higher fuel prices amid the escalating

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 1>supply crunch. And then it goes on to say beyond

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the gas inventories are at an eight year seasonal low.

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>All supplies a diesel, we're at like twenty four days

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>worth of supply. That's all we have. That is an

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>unmitigated danger and disaster. That's a clear and present danger

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to me. And on the East Coast, the situation is

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>getting more dire with infrastructure constraints limiting fuel shipments and

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>prompting suppliers to start rationing fuel. I mean, this is

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the United States of America. Now we're going to ration

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 1>fuel and they're talking about the entire power grid having

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the possibility of going out all throughout New England. Now,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>my understanding is is that the usual amount or supply

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of natural gas is down by it's ten percent of

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>what it's normal levels should be. Have you looked into

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that eighteen billion cubic feet is what we normally get

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>of natural gas, we're only getting two And you know,

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>as you say, we're at a national crisis with our

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>fossil fuel energy and people are you going to pay

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the price for this? And they just sit there and

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>dismiss it, you know, out of hand over some green

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>new deal that requires you know, fossil fuel to make

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>possibility anyways. The country's not ready for it infrastructure wise,

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>we know that. But Sean, you know, we're doing our

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>enemy's job for us. You know, one of the things

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that you want to do is take out critical infrastructure.

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're the enemy, well, geez, you don't have to

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>spend any time on that because Biden and Hassan are

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>doing it for you. You know, they're depleting our energy.

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I wish the election we're in the middle of January,

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:45.839
<v Speaker 1>because then you'd win by fifteen points easily. Here this

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>article goes on to say that home heating oil suppliers

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>are now rationing deliveries to cope with the Biden oil

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>shortage that he's created. Here. I mean that means we're

0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>going to have many American homes, by every indication, not

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 1>being able to heat their homes at the level that

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>they would like to heat it the comfort level that

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>they prefer and desire. And on top of that, there's

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>not going to be enough supply to do so. And

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>then add to you know, insult to injury here, we

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>may have literally people freezing to death this winter. That's

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.439
<v Speaker 1>absolutely right, We're going to have We're gonna have our

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>elderly who are who are going to be uh, you know,

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>freezing cold. We're gonna have children that are cold. We're

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>going to have school closures because they don't have any power.

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>They can't keep properly. Children are going to be sitting

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in classrooms with you know, gloves, hats and jackets on

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, uh, you know layering. It's it's

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>just going to be unbelievable. And it's completely unnecessary because

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>we have the resources here to be able to provide

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Americans with the necessities that they need at a very

0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:00.040
<v Speaker 1>affordable price. But they're not allowing that to happen. And

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I got to tell you they need to be held

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>accountable at the polls on eighth November. And I could

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.560
<v Speaker 1>sure use people's help at don Baldi dot com. Well,

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll watching this race very closely. You are now neck

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and neck with Maggie Hassan. You can win this race,

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and I hope you. I hope you do. I hope

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>people remember your service to your country. Two purple Hearts,

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>five bronze stars, many with valor, and so many other

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>military decorations. I can't even begin to list them. Anyway,

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>we really appreciate you being with us. We're not going

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.959
<v Speaker 1>to give up on your campaign. I think you can

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 1>win this race, and it would be a huge victory

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>for Republicans to have this pickup. She is one of

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the most vulnerable Democrats out there, not particularly well liked

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>in the by the people in New Hampshire. She's done

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.439
<v Speaker 1>nothing except for your rubber stamp for everything Biden and

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Schumer and all the problems we're having in part

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.319
<v Speaker 1>because she's going along with her party on every radical

0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>position they've now taken. But anyway, Bull Duck, thank you.

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll continue to stay in touch with you. Thank you

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>so much. God bless you, and God bless you listeners.

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate it, John, God bless you. All Right,

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.719
<v Speaker 1>general appreciate it. Quick break. We'll hit the phones when

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we get back toll free. It's eight hundred and nine

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>four one sewn. You want to be a part of

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the program, We'll check in with Ted budd Coming up

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>a little later in the program. At the bottom of

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>this half hour, Catherine Limbaugh will join us. We'll talk

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>about the late great Rush Limbaugh, who we all miss

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 1>so dearly. Hey, listen, let's not forget September eleven, two

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand and one, two thousand, nine hundred and seventy seven

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>people killed, and today there are still people and families

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>suffering and losing their lives because of nine to eleven

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>related illnesses. You know, a whole generation of kids know

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>little to nothing about it. My own daughter was born

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>thirteen days before nine to eleven. Only Tennessee and Arizona

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>actually mandate K through twelve learning about nine to eleven.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a national disgrace. But the Tunnel to

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Towers nine to eleven Institute is essential now. It's giving

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>educators access to nonfiction nine to eleven resources for K

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.959
<v Speaker 1>through twelve, full curriculum units built around first person accounts.

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>They have scripted social studies, lessons, activities, background for teachers,

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>ensuring ease of use. They have nonfiction Discovering Heroes, a

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>series of books, and they're accompanying curriculum units, a speaker's

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>bureau with access to nine to eleven first responders, survivors

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and loved ones. Don't forget their mobile exhibit. It's a

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>high tech, eighty three foot tractor trailer that transforms into

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.839
<v Speaker 1>an eleven hundred square foot interactive museum with nine to

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>eleven artifacts and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Don't forget

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>they're granting the Russell F. Siller Memorial Scholarships financial scholarships

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.839
<v Speaker 1>to the children of their program recipients who are exemplary

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>high school students preparing for college. Now to never forget.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>They're asking all of us, all of Team Hannity is

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>on board. Donate eleven bucks a month. Go to their website,

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.559
<v Speaker 1>the letter T number two, the letter T dot org.

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.559
<v Speaker 1>The letter T the number two, the letter T dot

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 1>org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Come on, man,

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>it's taken me forty seven years to perfect doing nothing.

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I had to become president to show yeah, I could

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>do that better than anybody. Joe Biden, the most dangerous

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>man in America. This is the Sean Hannity Show. Let's

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>go to Tina, great state of Ohio, the Buckeye State.

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>What's going on, Tina? How are you good? How are you? Sean? Well,

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm in sunny Florida and I'm I'm sitting here looking

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>at a beautiful site. You go outside in a T

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>shirt and it feels pretty good, pretty good down here.

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you, I'm sitting out on my porch

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>right now, and the sun is shining and the trees

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>are turning. So getting ready for that election day. But

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I love to hear a little more shout out for

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>JD out here, because UM kind of feeling Tim's quite

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a bit. So I called. I called Bill Cunningham. I mean,

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the guru, the political guru of all gurus when it

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 1>comes to the great state of Ohio, is Billy Cunningham.

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Sean Hannity, you're a great American. I know you call

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>for a full report on JD. Vance I did, and

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I've now reached out to him three times in the

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>last week. And I said j D. I said, Billy Willie,

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>tell me if I need to go there, would it

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>help if I went there? He said, No, JD is

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna win by a lion slide. He's confident, he says,

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Tim Ryan is imploading. He's lying, He's getting exposed as lying.

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>He's pretending. But I don't know if the exposure is

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>really kind of coming through. It's uh, you know. And

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 1>then then Oz gets touted for drinking a glass of wine.

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>It is a football game, and there's Tim on TV

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>with his wife talking about every time we agree seven

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>out of ten times open a bottle of wine to

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the wait who was getting in trouble for drinking? Wind

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Oz wasn't he on at a football game? And the

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Dems were all, um, I didn't see that, but him

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>for drinking Okay, I like to have a glass of

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>wine occasionally. I prefer beer usually, to be honest. But

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what, so what you know exactly? I mean,

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you got a candidate in the in the Commonwealth of

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania that wants to moratorium on fracking, wants to open

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>up Pennsylvania's prisons and let half the people out. He

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>wants convicted. He fights for convicted murderers to get out.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 1>He wants taxpayers to pay for heroin safe injection sites.

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 1>He wants it to be a sanctuary state. And anyone

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>you're going to care about what doctor Oz is drinking

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>at a football game. Yeah, But there here is Tim

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Ryan talking about opening a bottle of wine with his wife,

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, either they're really cocktailing a lot because

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>they agree a lot, or you know, they're teetollers, one

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>of the two. But he's just what you call an

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>alter schmoozer. He's really good at schmoozing people. And he

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 1>looks good. Right, he's got presents about him, but like

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>everything coming out of his mouth doesn't sound one hundred

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>percent like he said. He one of his commercials says

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>he voted with Trump on workers, and I've what, I

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>just can't believe that. So Portman lives in my neighborhood.

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>He was well loved, and it just seems like every

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>sign I see as Ryan when I'm driving around. Well,

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>i'll tell you listen, we're fully supporting JD. We'll put

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>him on radio and TV as much as he wants.

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>He's always welcome on these airwaves. I'm enthusiastically supporting him.

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna win. But if you are nervous

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 1>about it, we'll put him on. What day is today?

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Today's Thursday. If we don't put him on tomorrow, we'll

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 1>put him on next week. Okay, that'd be great. Yeah,

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I just think he needs a little more pressed time.

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Got it? Your wishes our command. We take requests on

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>this show, all right, So don't worry about thank you,

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>quick break right back HI twenty five so the top

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of the hour. Things, So being with us toll free

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of the program. There is a

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.800
<v Speaker 1>conservative cartoonist out there, and it may be hard to

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>believe for some people, and it's Rush. At the Pearly Gates.

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Saint Peter is there and he has a golden EIB

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>microphone and he's holding it out and he says, Rush

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Limbaugh here to return the talent on loan from God,

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and without exception, the crowd's reaction to it is amazing

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:47.879
<v Speaker 1>because he was the voice of conservatism for generations. Now

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Rush's wife Catherine has come out with a new book

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 1>along with David Limbaugh as well has been a help

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.159
<v Speaker 1>with this project. David well known to this audience, and

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 1>it's called rad is Greatest of All Time and it's

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>all about Rush. I was very honored. As I went

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 1>through the book. I saw a picture of me and

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Rush from some years ago when we played golf together.

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I was never the good golfer that he was, but

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I was a good cigar smoker and Rush always had

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.639
<v Speaker 1>great cigars. And they actually had a caption of what

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.479
<v Speaker 1>I had said at the time, and I stand by

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 1>today and I said it many times when he was alive,

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and that is you can never replace Babe Ruth, and

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'd take it a step further. Rush was Babe Ruth,

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Lou Garrick, Hank, Aaron, Derek Jeter, and everyone in between.

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.439
<v Speaker 1>And if you want to talk about the greatest in

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 1>radio of all time, the goat, it was Rush. It

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>ends up being the title of this book, Radio's Greatest

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of All Time. And Catherine Adams Limbaugh joins us. Catherine,

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>great to have you on the program. Great to talk

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to you. I know this has not been an easy

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.239
<v Speaker 1>period in your life. Thank you so much. Sean. It's

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.359
<v Speaker 1>great to talk to you as well. You know, I

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>think of all of the time, and I was right

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 1>at the time. I knew that nobody could ever replace him,

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and my answer to everybody was we all just have

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to do a little bit more to try to try

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 1>and fill the gap. And you don't realize Mary Matlin

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>once said, during the Clinton years or after the Clinton years,

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how we would have survived if Russia's

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>voice wasn't out there for us encouraging us every single day.

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's still hard for me to believe that he's

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>not there for those three hours every day. That's exactly right.

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>He really is a founding father in many respects, a

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>modern day founding father. I believe he's the George Washington

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of radio. He said the standard, he was the pioneer,

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and in many ways he's still with us today. He's

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 1>working through people like you who are out there every

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.480
<v Speaker 1>single day talking to the American people and saying how

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.479
<v Speaker 1>important in our country is, how important selection is. And

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I know that through this book that we put out,

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it is his words directly, It is inspirational. It is

0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 1>very much Rush talking to Americans saying our country is

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>that special, it is worth fighting for. This election is

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 1>very important. We can never give up. It is never

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>time to panic, as he would always say. And I

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.120
<v Speaker 1>think through this book people will very much hear him.

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.880
<v Speaker 1>It is his words, it's his inspiration, and I think

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>people will be happy at a time when we need

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.399
<v Speaker 1>to hear from Rush again. He was the leader and

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 1>he still is in many ways. He very much is

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>radio's greatest of all time. Let's talk about your life.

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is the love of your life. From

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.920
<v Speaker 1>every indication I saw you guys had such a great relationship.

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.199
<v Speaker 1>You will kind enough both of you to invite me

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 1>to your very special wedding. Elton John performed at that wedding.

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.120
<v Speaker 1>That was an incredible experience for everybody that was there.

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing? You know now it's over a year,

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that's past. I'm doing well as much as possibly can be.

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Of course, there's a tremendous void every single day, as

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 1>there is for so many people who listen to Rush

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and his family and everyone who loved Rush. He was

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>deeply loved by so many. He was a friend on

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the radio, He was a family member on the radio,

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>He was a brother, He was so much to so

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 1>many that I am absolutely hurting on a daily basis.

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 1>But I am taking what he taught all of us,

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>which is we must go forward. Our best days must

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>be ahead. And if he was here, he would still

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 1>be fighting the good fight. And that's what we're supposed

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:51.719
<v Speaker 1>to be doing, and we're supposed to be appreciating every

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 1>single day that we have here, and that's what I'm

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to do. I don't know, did you ever see

0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the cartoon that I referred to a moment ago. Did

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you see it? Because I actually he sent me a

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.120
<v Speaker 1>copy of this and I was blown away by it

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 1>and he signed it Gary Varvel Dot com as his website.

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:14.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, rush limbought the pearly gates here to return

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.720
<v Speaker 1>talent on loan from God, and he's holding out the

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>golden EIB microphone. And you know, I just believe there

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.480
<v Speaker 1>is a special place for people like rush. You talk

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>about the goat, he is the goat. He's the greatest

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>of all time. And I think everybody in radio is

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>very grateful. I know I am personally because when he

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.879
<v Speaker 1>started out in syndication, nobody thought it was possible that

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 1>daytime syndicated radio would actually work. And he had to

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.200
<v Speaker 1>face he was staring at a forest of trees. There

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>was no path forged, and he had to knock down

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.880
<v Speaker 1>every one of those trees. And he took a lot

0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 1>of heat from a lot of people all throughout his career.

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I can name a lot of examples that I'd rather

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.360
<v Speaker 1>not remind you of of, you know, that were very

0:22:56.359 --> 0:23:00.080
<v Speaker 1>difficult times for him that I do remember. Well, that

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 1>is right, And I did see the cartoon. I absolutely

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>love it, and that is so true. Russia is so

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:09.879
<v Speaker 1>incredibly brilliant. He was fearless, He was the tip of

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the spear. He came out on the horizon before there

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>really was a Russia limbo of talk radio. He took

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 1>so many arrows throughout his career, but you know, he

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.439
<v Speaker 1>loved it, and everything that he said on the radio

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 1>was so true. He lived and breathed his radio careers.

0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you do as well. He absolutely loved getting

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 1>behind the mic every day and talking to the American people.

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>He loved our country with all of his heart. So

0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:43.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that although he's not with us, he is

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>in so many ways because he has taught so many

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:50.119
<v Speaker 1>people to think for themselves, to never give up, to

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 1>be passionate, to care about our country, to believe in

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the American dream, American exceptionalism. Just like you, Sean. He

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:01.159
<v Speaker 1>came from humble beginnings, or at least not what he

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:06.439
<v Speaker 1>achieved in life, and he worked so incredibly hard. He

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>wanted every American to have that opportunity. He wanted every

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 1>American said believe in the American dream because he lived

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:17.359
<v Speaker 1>it as you have and so many people have. And

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 1>he never wanted a flu side of that, never ever

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 1>give in, never downgrade our country, which is unfortunately happening

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:29.199
<v Speaker 1>every single day around us. But that's right. He was

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 1>so capable of talking in a very easy to understand

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 1>way he made the most complex issues of our day

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.479
<v Speaker 1>very funny. That was one thing about Rush. You know.

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.919
<v Speaker 1>I referred to him as the George Washington of radio.

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 1>And there's actually a part in this book where someone

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 1>had called in and was saying to him, you're the

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:54.159
<v Speaker 1>George Washington of radio, and Rush was very, very humble,

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and he said, thank you very much. I really appreciate that.

0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:00.040
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the call, he said, you

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.919
<v Speaker 1>know the difference between me and George Washington. If someone

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>offered me to be king, I'd take it. That is

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.679
<v Speaker 1>a great story. He was always so funny, you know.

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:15.159
<v Speaker 1>That was the one thing about him. Even if he

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 1>thought that the country was headed for total tim he

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 1>inspired us. He made us laugh, He made our daze better.

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 1>And I believe that's what this book does as well.

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember when I first heard him. I was in

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a radio studio out in Santa Barbara, California, where I

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:35.880
<v Speaker 1>started my radio career. And I don't know what it was, Catherine,

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 1>but the first time that light went on, my life changed.

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>That was all I ever wanted to do. And I

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>remember I was in the studio because I kind of

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>lived there, because it was my passion. I didn't last

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>very long. I wasn't very good. I deserved to get fired.

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:53.359
<v Speaker 1>But once they took the mic away from me, it

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 1>was something that I knew I wanted to pursue. And

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I remember that somebody comes up to me and says,

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>you gotta listen to this guy, Rush Limbaugh and he's

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>on KTMS in Santa Barbara. And I said, who's Rush Limbaugh?

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And he said, you got This guy's hilarious. He does

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.720
<v Speaker 1>this homeless update and homelessness was huge in Santa Barbara

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:13.640
<v Speaker 1>even at that time. And you're gonna love him when

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you hear him. And I remember hearing him for the

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:18.439
<v Speaker 1>first time and it was like instant. You could just

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:22.680
<v Speaker 1>tell that this, you know, this booming voice came out

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 1>of the speaker and just a phenomenal talent, and you know,

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and then he paved the way for so many of us.

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 1>When he started in nineteen eighty eight his syndication, there

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>were only about two hundred talk or news talk radio

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 1>stations in the country. Now we're close to five thousand,

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:42.120
<v Speaker 1>on top of all the podcasting and all of us

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that have benefited from the path that he forged. And

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't an easy path. I remember those moments, I

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 1>remember the attacks. They were unrelenting at times for him

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and he and I don't think he was somebody that

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 1>really liked to be criticized attack the way he was,

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think ever expected it, but he had

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to deal with it. That's right. You know, he really

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.359
<v Speaker 1>did what he was born to do. He knew what

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to do at eight years old. Like you,

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>he hung around a radio station. He was interning Cape Girardo,

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Missouri and ended up becoming the greatest of all time.

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 1>But he did take incredible attacks and at his core,

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Rush was very, very humble. He was fearless, but he

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 1>was humble. And nobody really liked those attacks at all,

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and they were they were very difficult, very challenging for him,

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>but he took it as a measure of success, as

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you do. He said. You know, the more

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.120
<v Speaker 1>they talk about me, the more they slander me, much

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 1>like President Trump and others, that means that I'm effective.

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:51.880
<v Speaker 1>And so he continued, he said, I really don't care

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>what they say about me, because it just means that

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm making a dents. I'm irritating them. He often said,

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm show prep for the so well well, by

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the way, there was a lot of truth that for

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, there's no doubt about it. I

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>remember the day that he announced that he had advanced.

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll never forget the words that he used because I

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>paid very close attention. M David Limbaugh called me just

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 1>minutes before he was to make the announcement and said,

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.639
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna need to listen to Rush. And

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that's all he told me because he had promised his

0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 1>brother he wouldn't tell anybody. And David's been my agent,

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 1>as you know, for all my career. And anyway, I

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>listened in and Rush used the words advanced stage four

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>lung cancer, and I remember it took my breath away,

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and I remember I called Levin right away. I talked

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to him, and then I remember I listened to every

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>word he said. And then I looked up at the

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 1>clock and it's three oh five, and I'm like, I

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>have to I have to address this in one minute.

0:28:57.320 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I had tears coming down my eyes.

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind admitting it. And then, oh my god,

0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>how do I deal with this? And then I was

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 1>just thinking what Rush had to deal with himself and

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 1>how stoic he was. And he said something that really

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 1>struck me too, that he didn't want this to be

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a cancer show or a show about sick people. And

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>he did that for the entire year. And it was

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a painful year, wasn't it. Oh? It was? And he

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 1>loved ya, Sean, and I know he's so happy that

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you're still here today. But yes, it was very very

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>hard for him, and of course for David to know this,

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 1>but he wanted to deliver it to the American people

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:40.040
<v Speaker 1>and all of his listeners, who he considered to be

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 1>extended family in the most personal way. He found out

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>about the cancer. We found out about it just a

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 1>little while prior to that, and we thought about, how

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>can this be announced? People are going to stop that

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 1>day and their lives will be changed forever. That's how

0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:00.440
<v Speaker 1>much Rush mattered to them. And he knew that. He

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 1>knew this was their fearless leader, their friends, who essentially

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>was being diagnosed with a terminal illness, and he didn't

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>want that to be the memory that they had of him.

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>He wanted to carry on right through the very end,

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's what he did. He was on the radio

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 1>just days prior to us having to go up to

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Boston where where he heard things We're going for the worst.

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>So it was a very difficult time. But I think

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>keeping normalcy, talking to his fans, talking to listeners was

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 1>what kept him going. That was so important to him. Well,

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the book is a great honor to him. I'm I'm

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>grateful that you put it together. I'm grateful that you

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 1>even included me, and that surprised me. I was very

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>touched by that. The book is already a huge bestseller.

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It's called Radio's greatest of all time, and you're going

0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.320

<v Speaker 1>and freedom, which was his life's passion and his life's

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>work and its son. He should say. One one hundred

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>thing is that proceeds from this book will benefit the
