Speaker 1: Hey, before we go tonight, listen, I want to tell
Speaker 1: you about this special podcast our very very dear friend
Speaker 1: Bostner Lee James Golden is doing all the years that
Speaker 1: he was with our friend Rush Limbaugh. And let me
Speaker 1: let me play here the trailer and you can listen
Speaker 1: to the full show on iHeart. No matter whether the
Speaker 1: news was good, this is the happiest and the most
Speaker 1: optimist activists. It is popping all kinds of things happening
Speaker 1: in the middle of your day. He would be the
Speaker 1: fastest three hours in media Russia Limball having more fun
Speaker 1: than the human being. It should be allowed to have
Speaker 1: thirty three years instructing teaching in three three years of
Speaker 1: telling the truth. I think I just have to be
Speaker 1: saying what a whole lot of people think. They don't
Speaker 1: have the chance to say themselves. Of triumph, the Presidential
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom, the State of the Union address to
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh, and now tribute the man who has literally
Speaker 1: paved the way for you icon. Rush Limbaugh died today
Speaker 1: seeing his battle with lung cancer. There is no talk
Speaker 1: radio without russilym thirty three years of excellence in broadcasting.
Speaker 1: People don't remember what you say. Too many words line
Speaker 1: around it, but they never forget how you make them feel.
Speaker 1: This is Rush from the very beginning, three hours of broadcast, excellent,
Speaker 1: straight ahead, great a head until now. So I have
Speaker 1: to tell you something today that I wish I didn't
Speaker 1: have to tell you, and it's it's a struggle for
Speaker 1: me because I had to inform my staff earlier today.
Speaker 1: I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. This podcast
Speaker 1: takes you behind the golden EIB microphone with those who
Speaker 1: knew him best and loved him the most. And then
Speaker 1: Rush being Rush apologized to us. He said, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: I let you down and I let out an invalid,
Speaker 1: volatary scream. No. Hosted by James Golden, who you might
Speaker 1: know better as bo snrdly, Rush made no secret about it,
Speaker 1: he said it, and it was jest, but it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I was born to host and you were born to listen,
Speaker 1: and until the very end, that was Rush Limbaugh, born
Speaker 1: to host with talent on loan from God. This is
Speaker 1: the definitive story of Rush, with special guests and stories
Speaker 1: never before heard. Whether it happened on the air or
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, he was simply Rush. It has been
Speaker 1: one of the biggest blessings to be able to tell
Speaker 1: you the entire story of talent online. And they are
Speaker 1: all but memories now, I mean, they really just seem
Speaker 1: like they happened yesterday. Coming soon to iHeart Radio or
Speaker 1: wherever you download your podcasts. Thanks Scott Shannon, Thanks to
Speaker 1: all of you for being with us. Write down our
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number. We'd love to have you join
Speaker 1: us in the course of this program. It is eight hundred.
Speaker 1: It is nine for one, Sean if you want to
Speaker 1: join us. Well, now that we know the CDC took
Speaker 1: dictation from the teachers unions in terms of their policies
Speaker 1: with schools, now that they've been exposed, now that flip
Speaker 1: flopping fauci has been exposed, and now based on the
Speaker 1: efforts of people like us on this show and other shows,
Speaker 1: and I give other people all the credit to those
Speaker 1: of us that were ahead of the curve. Here, the
Speaker 1: mixed messages that your government has been giving you about
Speaker 1: vaccinations seems to now be coming to a definitive end.
Speaker 1: And I'm proud to be able to announce that your
Speaker 1: CDC said this afternoon that if you are fully vaccinated,
Speaker 1: you no longer have to wear a mask indoors. CDC
Speaker 1: recommendations that masking restrict actions be relaxed would apply to
Speaker 1: most indoor and outdoor situations, but now at the point
Speaker 1: more than forty five percent of the adult population has
Speaker 1: been fully vaccinated in the US, according to the CDC.
Speaker 1: I think it's eighty five percent from people sixty five
Speaker 1: and older. The change in guidance comes as various officials
Speaker 1: have been recommending the changes in mitigation measures. Last week,
Speaker 1: doctor Scott gott Leave, the former head of the FDA
Speaker 1: under the Trump administration, said the US should lift its
Speaker 1: mask mandates indoors immediately in light of the vaccination campaign. Now,
Speaker 1: why do we have mixed messages, Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden fully vaccinated with Joe Biden hand in hand, outdoors,
Speaker 1: socially distanced with maths on going into a former president's home,
Speaker 1: ninety six year old, Jimmy Carter, former First Lady ninety
Speaker 1: three years old, taking off the mask indoor with no
Speaker 1: social distancing as a matter of fact, right on top
Speaker 1: of them, and then no mask inside and they come outside,
Speaker 1: socially distanced, fully vaccinated, and right back to the masks message.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, you know it's confusing. They made it confusing,
Speaker 1: so they're finally now saying you can ditch the mask.
Speaker 1: I guess that means that every school can now open,
Speaker 1: because Gavin Newsom is saying, well, we may just we
Speaker 1: may not lift indoor mask mandate may not lift June fifteenth,
Speaker 1: but as soon as it's safe, Well it's safe, Gavin
Speaker 1: and schools. I know your kids, precious little children have
Speaker 1: been at a private school in person learning while public
Speaker 1: school kids in your state have not been been receiving
Speaker 1: in person learning. Now, according to this, you would think, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: well now it's time. And Biden is urging parents now
Speaker 1: to get their children vaccinated after a CDC panel back
Speaker 1: the Fiser vaccine for kids twelve through fifteen. You know,
Speaker 1: I just can't believe that I have to even consider
Speaker 1: saying all of this. But I don't know why everybody
Speaker 1: thinks it's so important that I tell people what to
Speaker 1: do medically, especially when I got hammered for putting on
Speaker 1: alternative points of view when those zero therapeutics nothing and
Speaker 1: bringing reading to you the foremost expert on hydroxychloroquine, others
Speaker 1: that believed in iver mected and later Regeneron and the
Speaker 1: therapeutics we developed and Operation warp Speed worked. We never
Speaker 1: broke down the sequence of a virus this fast and
Speaker 1: not only had one, but three vaccines and doing a
Speaker 1: million a day when Donald Trump left office. So that
Speaker 1: sounds like the hope is to get back to normal.
Speaker 1: Governor of De Santis, Florida has granted clemency to Florida
Speaker 1: business owners that rested and you believe arresting business owners
Speaker 1: because they didn't enforce the masked mandate and good grief.
Speaker 1: Mike DeWine, Ohio. Two weeks from tonight, May twenty six,
Speaker 1: will announce the winner of a separate drawing for adults
Speaker 1: who have received at least their first dose of the vaccine.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be five winners in New York. They're offering
Speaker 1: free French rice. You can't make this stuff up. And
Speaker 1: you know even by the way, what did you see
Speaker 1: this bizarre article on bripe bart. Apparently India is now
Speaker 1: discouraging citizens from using cow feces to protect against coronavirus. Anyway,
Speaker 1: there's a video of it they found. Anyway, it's a
Speaker 1: school that is run by monks, which happens to be
Speaker 1: located across the street from a pharmaceutical company working on
Speaker 1: a coronavirus vaccine, shows believers smearing liquefied cow dung and
Speaker 1: urine over themselves to boost their immune systems. Who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe there's something to it. I have no idea about
Speaker 1: not recommending it, doctor Hannity. I'm not a doctor. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna play one on radio or on television. But
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've had too many people that I
Speaker 1: know that have had really really tough calls. One person
Speaker 1: more recently a friend of mine's mother, and now multiple
Speaker 1: pre existing conditions, code morbidities, etc. Just you know, the
Speaker 1: perfect candidate to be that, a textbook case of somebody
Speaker 1: that might struggle with it. In fact, was on a ventilator.
Speaker 1: We're getting very worried there for a while. Thank God,
Speaker 1: off the ventilator, back to eating, now standing and walking
Speaker 1: and soon going home. Been transferred out of the hospital
Speaker 1: to a rehab center. Well, it didn't have COVID brain,
Speaker 1: which is a phenomenon that they noticed about a year ago,
Speaker 1: where you know, people that were on ventilators, they try
Speaker 1: to get them off because the lungs are fine, and
Speaker 1: then they just don't wake up. I mean, can you
Speaker 1: imagine all the heartbreak, all the hadness, all the loss
Speaker 1: of life, God given gift of life. It's precious. It
Speaker 1: is something that we take for granted. And we've got
Speaker 1: to enjoy every second, every minute of every hour of
Speaker 1: every day because you never know when the time comes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: not trying to be morbid here, but we got to
Speaker 1: pay attention. All right, let me get to the economy
Speaker 1: and let me get to what's happening, and you need
Speaker 1: to understand how bad this is. This is really bad.
Speaker 1: We now have the US inflation rate, inflation meaning you're
Speaker 1: going to pay more for everything you purchase. Now, it's
Speaker 1: even going to get higher if this corporate tax goes through.
Speaker 1: It's already higher because of Joe's, you know, distancing himself
Speaker 1: from energy independence. It's now at a thirteen year high inflation.
Speaker 1: Many of many people probably don't even remember inflation and
Speaker 1: how out of control it is. Inflation is up four percent,
Speaker 1: the fastest pace increase in more than twelve years in
Speaker 1: this country. This is an unmitigated disaster if this gets
Speaker 1: out of control, because that means there's no amount of
Speaker 1: money that you're going to be able to make that's
Speaker 1: going to be able to keep up with rising inflation.
Speaker 1: You know, everything that we that you purchase at Lowe's
Speaker 1: Home depot, at your pharmacy, at your grocery store, at
Speaker 1: your I don't know if you still go to a market. Whatever, everything,
Speaker 1: even if you buy it on Amazon, you're going to
Speaker 1: pay more for because it costs truckers more money to
Speaker 1: fill their diesel tanks. The guys that bring us everything,
Speaker 1: that keep the economy running smooth and driving the tough
Speaker 1: roads every day, they're gonna need an increase in pay
Speaker 1: to make up for the inflation that they're going to
Speaker 1: be suffering as well. Trucking companies aren't gonna make less
Speaker 1: money per mile, and nor are drivers gonna make any
Speaker 1: less money per mile. And that means everything that we
Speaker 1: buy thanks to Joe, is going to cost us more.
Speaker 1: On top of that, Now, on top of a twenty
Speaker 1: year record last month of illegal immigrants, well even top
Speaker 1: last month's record high with a new record high one
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy eight thousand, six hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: two illegal immigrants crossing the border. And guess what, guests
Speaker 1: who's paying for their housing? Guests who's paying for their healthcare, guests,
Speaker 1: who's paying for their food and their education. That would
Speaker 1: be you the American people on top of well by
Speaker 1: the way, and then the transportation into you know, whatever
Speaker 1: state they're sending people to. I guess you hit the lotto.
Speaker 1: If you get sent to New York, New Jersey, or California,
Speaker 1: especially California's sanctuary state, you're good for life, apparently, unless
Speaker 1: Newsom gets recalled and you get a new governor out there.
Speaker 1: But they're getting checks from the state government. Now, I
Speaker 1: guess I'm so old fashioned that if you don't like
Speaker 1: the law, you don't get to pick and choose what
Speaker 1: laws you obey. States don't get to pick and choose
Speaker 1: what laws they enforce. Joe Biden doesn't get to pick
Speaker 1: and choose what laws he's willing to enforce and ignore them.
Speaker 1: You know, we're letting people in and then we're facilitating
Speaker 1: at all that would be aiding and embetting where I
Speaker 1: grew up, sanctuary state, sanctuary city, aiding and embedting illegal activity.
Speaker 1: We have nearly ten million jobs available, but if you're
Speaker 1: making what thirty two, thirty four thousand, whatever the number
Speaker 1: is a year working, you're gonna make as much stay
Speaker 1: at home. They're not taking the jobs available, which is
Speaker 1: why the unemployment rate is going up, went up to
Speaker 1: six point one percent, and that's why you have governors saying, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we don't want the money anymore. Now add to the
Speaker 1: at the gas shortage. You know what I'm trying to
Speaker 1: wrap my mind around here is we have been a
Speaker 1: victim of a cyber attack. Now, the thing that shocked
Speaker 1: me the most in terms of what I saw today
Speaker 1: is that, and I was looking at this, I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe my eyes, is that, in fact, we actually paid
Speaker 1: the hackers, were paid by colonial the pipeline they were
Speaker 1: They paid a five million dollar ransom to this Eastern
Speaker 1: European criminal enterprise that hacked the company, shuddering the largest
Speaker 1: oil pipeline in the US, spurring widespread gas shortages, panic
Speaker 1: buying all across the Southeast. They paid the hackers and
Speaker 1: the criminals apparently associated with Russia. What's Joe gonna do?
Speaker 1: Israel is taking incoming rockets, you know, thousens of them.
Speaker 1: What's Joe doing to help our number one ally in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. Finally he said something, Yeah, we support
Speaker 1: your right to defend yourself, thanks Joe. Conflicting messages again
Speaker 1: from the administration. On top of that, nobody seems to
Speaker 1: care about Iran partnering with China and Russia, Russia and
Speaker 1: China providing arms, transferring them to Iran Iran then using
Speaker 1: it to send to Yemen to fight the proxy war
Speaker 1: and the rest of the Middle East. What are you
Speaker 1: going to do on that, Joe? What do you have
Speaker 1: to say about the ransom money that was paid here?
Speaker 1: Why are we paying ransom to criminals? Because when you
Speaker 1: pay a ransom, guess what, they're gonna come back for
Speaker 1: more and they're gonna hack more. And what are you
Speaker 1: doing for cybersecurity safety so it doesn't happen at times,
Speaker 1: pointing out fifteen thousand gasoline stations are out of gas
Speaker 1: since this pipeline crisis began. By the way, just because
Speaker 1: it gets online again doesn't mean it's oh, instantly, just
Speaker 1: go to your local gas station. It's gonna take time.
Speaker 1: I mean, what about there's a storefront picture sweep Baby
Speaker 1: James handed me. The following is a list of items
Speaker 1: that we buy that are going up in price. It's
Speaker 1: a message to their customers one everything. Unfortunately, these increases
Speaker 1: will lead to a price increase on all items we sell.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the honesty, but that is a fact. And
Speaker 1: these corporate taxes and capital gains taxes, it's hurting. It's
Speaker 1: gonna hurt everybody getting rid of energy independence. Just hold
Speaker 1: onto your wallet. Watch the price of gas to fill
Speaker 1: up your tank go up significantly. It's already been going
Speaker 1: up before all of this, the price to heat and
Speaker 1: cool your home. I've been telling you about it. That
Speaker 1: the insanity is is that you have Jennifer Granholm, you know,
Speaker 1: and John Kerry. You got the two of them actually
Speaker 1: making the case that no pipelines are the best way
Speaker 1: to um to transport energy. Well, I have a question.
Speaker 1: Why did Joe then fire the people that we're building
Speaker 1: the Keystone Xcel pipeline. Maybe we can hire them back.
Speaker 1: It's like he decided, oh maybe maybe the wall is
Speaker 1: in a xenophobic and hysterical as everything else and racist is.
Speaker 1: Now he's going to build more the Trump Wall, which
Speaker 1: he never should have stopped. Right, if we roll along,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine one sean fifteen thousand stations out
Speaker 1: of gas, case you're interested, those U shortages expected will
Speaker 1: last until Memorial Day in USA today, people will likely
Speaker 1: see gas outage numbers peak forty eight hours from now,
Speaker 1: So it's only gonna be a little worse. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a crappy weekend if you're planning on driving this week,
Speaker 1: but that by Memorial Day shortly thereafter. Okay, that's the
Speaker 1: temporary issue. What about the long term issue? Now? Now
Speaker 1: we're paying ransom to the hackers that's never a good idea.
Speaker 1: Now we've got fifteen thousand stations out of gas and
Speaker 1: likely going to remain out of gas in the short
Speaker 1: term in the wake of the gas shortages. You know, well,
Speaker 1: why did they then close down the Keystone pipeline? When
Speaker 1: Senator Grant Home and it turns out even John Curry
Speaker 1: hard voted for the eighty seven billion before our motor
Speaker 1: gunstan recognizing that the fact that the best form of
Speaker 1: transportation that would be a pipeline pipe is the best
Speaker 1: way to go. Grant Home, set and carry saying the
Speaker 1: same thing. Okay, what are you going to do to
Speaker 1: prevent future cyber attacks against the country, Joe? What are
Speaker 1: you going to do to offer more support to Israel?
Speaker 1: What are you going to do to stop the emerging
Speaker 1: unholy proxy war, alliance between Iran and Russia and China.
Speaker 1: And what are you gonna say the Vladimir now that
Speaker 1: you have all the flexibility in the world as president
Speaker 1: in regards to his cyber attack from his country to
Speaker 1: this country, What are you doing, Joe? I know you,
Speaker 1: I know you. Get your sippy cup, you're warm, milky,
Speaker 1: you say night night, But what the hell are you
Speaker 1: doing yesterday? If he's confounded, confused, and utterly made no
Speaker 1: sense when he had a chance, they told me, I'm
Speaker 1: not allowed to answer questions. You're the president. Do what
Speaker 1: you want, all right, twenty five to the top of
Speaker 1: the hour, eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of this extravaganza, now,
Speaker 1: let me just point out, Oh get this pump price
Speaker 1: hit nearly seven dollars a gallon in Virginia gas station Richmond,
Speaker 1: six ninety nine a gallon not long after the governor
Speaker 1: declared a state of emergency because of the cyber attack.
Speaker 1: I had half a tank of gas I went, so
Speaker 1: when it got to twenty five bucks, I started looking
Speaker 1: to see what was going on. After I got to
Speaker 1: thirty bucks, I was like, oh my god, I spent
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars for six gallons. A gains thirty five dollars.
Speaker 1: A woman said a few minutes later. The price, by
Speaker 1: the way, I came with gas cans literally and not
Speaker 1: spent a time. I lived two blocks from here and
Speaker 1: it was only four ninety nine a gallon. Then drove
Speaker 1: up the road to get gas at a two ninety
Speaker 1: nine a gallon gas station. Came back through here. It
Speaker 1: was five ninety nine, then six fifty nine, now six
Speaker 1: ninety nine a gallon. I think, I don't know, sounds
Speaker 1: to me a little like price gouging, but I guess
Speaker 1: it's applying demand chriss crossing and dictating price. The thing is,
Speaker 1: this happened so easily, and I don't hear any talk
Speaker 1: about what are you going to do to stop it?
Speaker 1: What are you going to tell Vladimir? Joe, nobody's asking
Speaker 1: those questions. Now, this sounds just like Jimmy Carter telling
Speaker 1: you to put your thermostat down and wear a sweater
Speaker 1: in your house back in the seventies and they're in
Speaker 1: that gas shortage disaster. You know what does Joe Biden
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Carter have in common? They both project nothing
Speaker 1: but weakness. I don't like weak people. You're president of
Speaker 1: the United States. How about getting on the phone and saying, Vladimir,
Speaker 1: you better fix it or else, and then mean it.
Speaker 1: This goes back to a truth that we discussed yesterday.
Speaker 1: All of the world's bad actors, all these hostile regimes,
Speaker 1: we all know who they are, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea.
Speaker 1: We know there are plenty of others, their satellite states, etc.
Speaker 1: You know, look at you know certain their country is
Speaker 1: all over the world. A lot of evil in this world.
Speaker 1: No one likes to face up to the fact that
Speaker 1: there's evil. There's evil people evil. We see it in America.
Speaker 1: If he sees shooting of innocent police officers, four year
Speaker 1: old kids shot in Times Square, four year old, a
Speaker 1: young mother, you know, nearly killed in Time Square this weekend,
Speaker 1: fifty people total. Anyway, Joe Biden said that instead of
Speaker 1: solving the real problem, he's urging Americans to self ration
Speaker 1: their gasoline usage. He's urging rationing until service is restored.
Speaker 1: Don't panic, Number one, Don't get more gas than you
Speaker 1: need in the next few days. It's a temporary situation.
Speaker 1: Don't panic. Not doing anything nobody should be using this
Speaker 1: situation for financial gain. That's what the hackers are trying
Speaker 1: to do. Why didn't you intervene and tell this pipeline
Speaker 1: company don't pay the ransom and get to the people
Speaker 1: that are doing it. We've identified who they are. Now
Speaker 1: let's find them wherever they are. You add to that,
Speaker 1: inflation up in April consumer prices, Now, what does a
Speaker 1: consumer price mean? Consumer price is what we the people
Speaker 1: you pay for consumer items. That's inflation. That's price inflation.
Speaker 1: You pay more. It went up a whopping four point
Speaker 1: two percent, the fastest it's ever grown since two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight, accelerating at the fastest pace of more than
Speaker 1: twelve years. Consumer Price Index, which measure measures a basket
Speaker 1: of goods as well as energy, housing costs, rose four
Speaker 1: point two percent from a year earlier. Dal Jones that
Speaker 1: expected a three point six percent increase, Well, that explained,
Speaker 1: I don't know where the TAO is today. Without explained
Speaker 1: the last two days of losses, and anyway, what does
Speaker 1: that mean what they're gonna I'm telling you what's happening now.
Speaker 1: You watch what happens to interest rates. A very close attention.
Speaker 1: A lot of us treasuries to be sold. They talk
Speaker 1: about a shortage for good reason. The real problem is
Speaker 1: the surplus of money, because they're printing money and handing
Speaker 1: it out like it's candy. In other words, money is
Speaker 1: losing its value, but you're not making more money to
Speaker 1: recover from that decline in value. You know, we've not
Speaker 1: only dropped the ball here, you know, it's just you
Speaker 1: know here, it's it's not only an infrastructure plan that
Speaker 1: is really a new green deal. It's worse than that.
Speaker 1: This is not brain surgery. This is this is Joey
Speaker 1: you know, sippy Cup Carter with gas shortages, Middie's chaos, inflation,
Speaker 1: job stagnation, big bad spending. It's the same thing on steroids.
Speaker 1: He's far worse than Jimmy Carter. Federal taxes spending and
Speaker 1: deficit all setting records through April. You understand that federal
Speaker 1: taxes spend, federal deficits all setting records through the first
Speaker 1: seven months of fiscal years twenty twenty one. Federal tax
Speaker 1: revenues hit a record for the period, while while spending climbs.
Speaker 1: You know, he's already spent six trillion dollars. We've only
Speaker 1: take in three point eight, maybe four if we get lucky.
Speaker 1: None of it is any good. Pete Buddha judge America's mayor,
Speaker 1: genius that he is Americans, we understand the concerns about
Speaker 1: the high price. I guess thank you for being so understanding.
Speaker 1: Just like you told those energy workers on the Keystone
Speaker 1: XL pipeline, some of whom we interviewed, that will make
Speaker 1: in one hundred grand, two hundred grand, more than two
Speaker 1: hundred grand year. These are career jobs, specialized skills. They're
Speaker 1: not transferable to any other industry. And then you have
Speaker 1: Energy Secretary Grand home, pipe is the best way to
Speaker 1: transport fuel. After Joe Biden canceled the key Stone XL pipeline,
Speaker 1: put it back online. So this particular area of the
Speaker 1: country there, this is why we have doubled down on
Speaker 1: ensuring that there's an ability to truck oil in gas in.
Speaker 1: But it's it's the pipe is the best way to go.
Speaker 1: And so that's why hopefully this company Colonial will in
Speaker 1: fact be able to restore operations by the end of
Speaker 1: the week, as they have said, well, they're going to
Speaker 1: fix the fundamental problem that they were hack a bowl
Speaker 1: And I brought this up the other day. I mean,
Speaker 1: you had these these crazy, brilliant genius computer whizzes teenagers
Speaker 1: like Julian Osanji and others. They were able to hack in.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying specifically him. I asked him. He neither
Speaker 1: confirmed nor denied. And the interviews we've had with him,
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we bring Christopher Steel and extradite him.
Speaker 1: That's the guy that I want to talk to from England.
Speaker 1: Good grief. John Kerry believes pipelines are more efficient. Why
Speaker 1: is Joe canceling eliminating jobs? Oh? No, we want you
Speaker 1: to get other good union paying jobs. There aren't good
Speaker 1: union paying jobs out there. They don't exist. With that said,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of job openings, but career jobs in the
Speaker 1: energy sector. You're blowing them away. We need them people.
Speaker 1: You know, they're now suffering and selling homes and having
Speaker 1: to get rid of their cars and trucks and hit
Speaker 1: their retirement money and the money they put away for
Speaker 1: their kids school because you just decide you want this
Speaker 1: new green energy madness. Here, you got all these crisises
Speaker 1: converging on Biden. Yeah, okay, and what's he doing? You
Speaker 1: don't see him? This is we have the tape of
Speaker 1: Joe yesterday, when he says, I'm not allowed to answer questions,
Speaker 1: they tell me I'm not allowed otistic coming out of
Speaker 1: it today different and in particularizer bad. I'm not supposed
Speaker 1: to be answering all these questions. I supposed to be
Speaker 1: resist your questions. I'm not supposed to. You're the president.
Speaker 1: We don't recommend it. Circle back, Saki says, And when
Speaker 1: he finally answers the question, we played it on TV
Speaker 1: last night. See does this make any sense to you, President,
Speaker 1: Americans who were worried about the supply of gass advising
Speaker 1: prices right now. I think what this shows is that
Speaker 1: I think we have to make a greater investment in
Speaker 1: education as it relates to being able to train and
Speaker 1: graduate more people proficient in cybersecurity. People. Look, what's the
Speaker 1: one thing people are concerned about when the gas gasoline
Speaker 1: prices going up? Exactly right? And it matters if you
Speaker 1: make forty thousand dollars year, It matters if you're two
Speaker 1: family persons been making eighty ninety thousand dollars, two fam
Speaker 1: two wage earners, it matters. It matters. Joe and you
Speaker 1: artificially reducing the world's supply of energies driving up prices.
Speaker 1: Joe Joey, come on, put down your sippy cup with
Speaker 1: warmy milk and stop saying night night, Wake up. It's
Speaker 1: your policies, just like at the border, you're causing all
Speaker 1: of this unbelievable. You know, I talk about the power
Speaker 1: of the squad. How often have we talked about the squad?
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about them. Democratic Socialists, right, you know,
Speaker 1: AOC criticizing Biden's statement is late, by the way, support
Speaker 1: for Israel siding with the occupation really whom Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 1: Green apparently had to run in with the Coastio Cortes
Speaker 1: and she reported her to security. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but when you look at what's
Speaker 1: happening with Israel, you gotta understand something. Here they're fired.
Speaker 1: I've been there numerous times. I've been to Gaza. I've
Speaker 1: been the border cities. You know, you can't even let
Speaker 1: kids play outside in a playground because there's not enough
Speaker 1: time to get to a bunker because of the close
Speaker 1: proximity to where these rockets are being fired from. You
Speaker 1: can see Gaza off in the distance. Joe's now funding
Speaker 1: that bringing back the funding that Donald Trump stopped two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five million. Forty days later, rockets are
Speaker 1: being fired, and of course the Iranians have their fingerprints
Speaker 1: all over hamas Amasa's charter calls for the destruction of Israel.
Speaker 1: You want to know the power of the squad? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Andrew Yang, mayoral candidate mayor New York. He apologized after
Speaker 1: pressure from Acasio Cortez for his overly simplistic pro Israel tweet. No,
Speaker 1: he apologized because he's a f He's gonna lose a
Speaker 1: Casio Cortez's support. I mean, I've been telling you she
Speaker 1: is the Speaker of the House, the New Green Deal
Speaker 1: madness that is hers, that's her signature, the squad signature.
Speaker 1: Schumer's afraid of her. He doesn't want to have to
Speaker 1: run against her in a primary. Pelosi scared to death
Speaker 1: you'll lose her speakership. And Biden is oblivious, and he
Speaker 1: signed onto the Biden Bernie AOC manifesto. Unbelievable, you know,
Speaker 1: saying to Israel that you have we support your right
Speaker 1: to defend yourself. Oh gee, thanks, Joe. How supportive of you?
Speaker 1: What would you do if a rockets. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what he'd do if a rocket was fired in here.
Speaker 1: By the way, this colonial pipeline shut down. Hacker group
Speaker 1: Dark Side, They're just getting started. They got five million bucks.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they keep going? They're gonna keep going. After
Speaker 1: AOC criticizes Biden's statement of support of Israel and supporting
Speaker 1: and siding with the occupation, watch what Joe does? Net
Speaker 1: and Yahoo rejected Hamassas cease fire plea, No, he shouldn't stop.
Speaker 1: I'd get every hamass leader they can. We had the
Speaker 1: IDEA spokesperson on yesterday say, and they've gotten over forty
Speaker 1: of the leaders. I wouldn't mess with. Israel got the
Speaker 1: toughest fighting defense forces. You know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: I showed last night the power of the Iron Dome.
Speaker 1: Thank God, we help create that in conjunction with our
Speaker 1: friends and is Without that, how many Israelis would be
Speaker 1: dead today? What happens if Iran gets a nuclear weapon?
Speaker 1: You don't think they'd be willing to fire one into Israel?
Speaker 1: Then your naive you marry radicalism with weapons of mass destruction,
Speaker 1: and you're looking at mass death. A modern day Holocaust.
Speaker 1: They've already sworn themselves to the destruction of Israel, the
Speaker 1: little Satan. The US is the big Satan. Death to Israel,
Speaker 1: death to America. Burn American flags, burn Israeli flags. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden says two hundred and thirty five million to the Palestinians.
Speaker 1: Now he's trying to negotiate again with the Iranians that
Speaker 1: are fighting proxy wars all over the world. Tell me
Speaker 1: how much sense that makes it to you. FBI Director
Speaker 1: Chris Ray apparently continue to demonstrate that his bureau remains
Speaker 1: wholly a subsidiary of all things Democratic Party, with his
Speaker 1: full approval. They refused to categorize the attempted assassination of
Speaker 1: Steve Scalisee and other Republicans on the ballfield as an
Speaker 1: act of terrorism. Oh okay, that sounds about right right. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: By the way, fake news CNN spent three times more
Speaker 1: time in twelve hours on Liz Cheney than the economic crisis.
Speaker 1: That's a surprise. That's a shocker. With the wheels coming off,
Speaker 1: Biden resumed the construction of the border wall. The walls
Speaker 1: were racist and xenophobic and hysterical. Biden's deputies had bit
Speaker 1: put more people from other countries and ever before twenty
Speaker 1: year record two months in a row, more this month
Speaker 1: of April than last month, meaning last month's numbers coming
Speaker 1: out just this week. All right? Eight oh, and the
Speaker 1: CDC we're gonna get to this later, Rampaul will join us.
Speaker 1: Fully vaccinated people don't need to wear masks indoors. Yeay,
Speaker 1: they finally got it right. Finally. I don't know, with
Speaker 1: the mixed messages and the absolute faulty data and the unmitigated,
Speaker 1: unprecedented mistakes made at every level, maybe it's time person
Speaker 1: that got it right the most is Donald Trump. I
Speaker 1: guess he can't say that warp speed travel band. He's
Speaker 1: the guy that provided the ppe. He made the ventilators.
Speaker 1: We never ran out built the hospitals that Cuomo Wolf
Speaker 1: Murphy never used. They stayed empty because they all sent
Speaker 1: elderly patients back to nursing homes. All right, an hour
Speaker 1: two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred nine for one, Shawn
Speaker 1: our number. You want to be a part of the program. Well,
Speaker 1: the CDC says fully vaccinated people do not need to
Speaker 1: wear masks indoors. Ah. Maybe now our children can go
Speaker 1: back to school like they've been in Florida since last August.
Speaker 1: Maybe that I'll put an end to the conflicting messages
Speaker 1: now that we know the CDC was actually taking dictation
Speaker 1: from the teachers unions and what the teachers unions wanted. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the Great Anthony Fauci I told you earlier this week,
Speaker 1: we played some of the exchange with rand Paul about
Speaker 1: whether or not there's been gain of function research monies
Speaker 1: from the US going to this Wuhan lab. The next
Speaker 1: day Rampaul saying that in fact, Fauci's lying. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to Rampaul in a second, but this is what happened
Speaker 1: earlier this week. We have eleven labs doing it, and
Speaker 1: you have a out at here. We have a committee
Speaker 1: to do it, but the committee has granted every exemption.
Speaker 1: You're fooling with mother nature here. You're allowing superviruses to
Speaker 1: be created with a fifteen percent mortality. It's very dangerous
Speaker 1: and gives a huge mistake to share this with China.
Speaker 1: But again, we have not funded gain of function research
Speaker 1: on this virus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. A
Speaker 1: matter of parsing words, you're pro say it there was research.
Speaker 1: There was research done with doctor she and doctor Barrick.
Speaker 1: They have collaborated on gain of function research where they
Speaker 1: enhanced the stars virus to infect human airway sales and
Speaker 1: they did it by merging a new spike protein on it.
Speaker 1: That is gain of function. That was joint research between
Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute and doctor Barrick. You can't deny all right?
Speaker 1: Joining us now Senator Ram Paul, Great State of Kentucky,
Speaker 1: also a doctor. Well, I mean we have a lot
Speaker 1: of issues to get to here. Why don't you explain
Speaker 1: to people? I gave my best layman's expo nation of
Speaker 1: gain of function. But the research and one thing that
Speaker 1: Fauci flip flop Fauci said during your grilling and during
Speaker 1: that hearing was in fact, well may very well have
Speaker 1: originated in the Wuhan lap. Yeah, we've only been reporting
Speaker 1: that for a year. But let's talk about gain of function.
Speaker 1: Explain to people what it is because even I can't
Speaker 1: explain it well. So gain of function is when you
Speaker 1: take a relatively benign virus that occurs in animals and
Speaker 1: you adapt it in multiple different ways to make it
Speaker 1: infect humans. So there are thousands and thousands of animal
Speaker 1: viruses that never infect humans. Fortunately, occasionally one will evolve
Speaker 1: and transfer over and it becomes a human disease. This
Speaker 1: is unusual, but it's a problem. What they're doing is
Speaker 1: actually taking these benign animal viruses and then they're adapting
Speaker 1: them either through passing them through cell culture. They start
Speaker 1: out with a like a broth, and the broth is
Speaker 1: mostly mouth and a little bit human, and then what
Speaker 1: they gradually do is decrease the mouse cells in the
Speaker 1: broth and increase the human cells. And they do this
Speaker 1: over and over again until they can sort of accelerate
Speaker 1: natural selection to get viruses that would know originally would
Speaker 1: not infect a human, to infect a human. But some
Speaker 1: of the viruses they're doing this too are already deadly.
Speaker 1: So SAWS was an early coronavirus. In two thousand and form,
Speaker 1: this virus had a fifteen percent mortality. The current pandemic
Speaker 1: that's killed three million people has a one percent mortality,
Speaker 1: So a fifteen percent mortality would be forty five million
Speaker 1: people dying. They're experimenting with viruses that dangerous, and so yes,
Speaker 1: there is a real danger in these labs. There's eleven
Speaker 1: labs like this in the US doctor Fauci's on record
Speaker 1: on record in a Washington Post and all other places
Speaker 1: saying that he is in favor of gain of function research.
Speaker 1: He's been a long time proponent of it. He's worried
Speaker 1: to death though, that somebody's going to prove that this
Speaker 1: came out of the Chinese lab and that he will
Speaker 1: be guilty of having funded the pandemic. Nobody has proof
Speaker 1: of that, but there are tantalizing clues that say that
Speaker 1: maybe this virus came from the lab. Clue number one
Speaker 1: is this, Usually they find an intermediate host from bats
Speaker 1: to ferrets to humans, or bats to camels to humans.
Speaker 1: What they haven't found in the last year is they
Speaker 1: have not found an animal host for COVID nineteen. They
Speaker 1: don't find an intermediate host. But it's worse than that.
Speaker 1: When they try to infect bats with COVID nineteen. If
Speaker 1: you say this came from bats, it should readily infect bats.
Speaker 1: It turns out it doesn't infect bats very well. So
Speaker 1: there's this question of where did it come from. It
Speaker 1: turns out that the animal that COVID nineteen best adapts
Speaker 1: to and best infects is humans. How did that happen?
Speaker 1: It's an animal virus. How did it start out in humans?
Speaker 1: It didn't start in humans. How did it become so
Speaker 1: good at infecting humans that you could say this happened randomly,
Speaker 1: and that's possibly through nature. But there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things that don't add up. But the one thing's for
Speaker 1: sure is Anthony Fauci personal only approved of the money
Speaker 1: going to this lab. Now he's saying it wasn't gaining
Speaker 1: a function research. He says it's some other kind of research.
Speaker 1: But he's really parsing his words because he's acting as
Speaker 1: if he didn't send the money. The money went through
Speaker 1: an intermediary and got to this Wuhan lab, and then
Speaker 1: when people got mad in this country, and so we
Speaker 1: need to investigate the lab. Do you know who Tony
Speaker 1: Fauci appointed to do the investigation? The guy that was
Speaker 1: head of the third party that gave the money to
Speaker 1: the Wuhan lab. So the NIH gave it to this
Speaker 1: group called eco Health, and eco Health gave it to
Speaker 1: the Wuhan lab. So they appointed the head of eco
Speaker 1: Health to be the one to investigate whether there was
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, it is a terrible circling of wagons,
Speaker 1: and we should all be curious as to how this
Speaker 1: really happened, how the virus got into the world, and
Speaker 1: how this pandemic started. Oh it really annoys me. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Senator. I mean, you know, that's just spend
Speaker 1: six trillion dollars under Joe Biden, and this is just
Speaker 1: a down payment as we understand it, Blue state bailout
Speaker 1: submergency COVID relief. That's not a COVID relief infrastructure that
Speaker 1: includes childcare for newborn babies and pre k and every
Speaker 1: other New Green Deal wish list item. You know, all
Speaker 1: we got pretty much a big down payment of billions
Speaker 1: of taxpair of dollars, I'm sorry, trillions that we can
Speaker 1: no longer afford. Why the hell are we funding any
Speaker 1: laboratory in Wuhan Province in China. That doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: to me, Senator, I wouldn't send one penny to China. Look,
Speaker 1: they're a rich country. They're kicking our butt in a
Speaker 1: lot of trade areas. They steal our stuff. Why the
Speaker 1: world will be sending money to fund their research? Are
Speaker 1: they not a rich enough country to fund their own research?
Speaker 1: And a lot of the collaboration that they're doing with
Speaker 1: that Wuhan lab we're sharing techniques for making superviruses. Do
Speaker 1: we really trust the Chinese enough that we want to
Speaker 1: share with them how to create pandemics in a lab? No?
Speaker 1: I mean it's insane. It was a bad idea. See.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Tony Fauci goes on one of
Speaker 1: these shows this morning, one of the mainstream networks, and
Speaker 1: what do they do. They're like, Oh, Tony, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do about this rainfall? And it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's crazy. It's all conspiracy theory. Nobody's addressing
Speaker 1: the facts. No one asked him. Did your institute give
Speaker 1: money to the Wuhan Institute? And was it gain a function.
Speaker 1: There's about two hundred scientists. We've talked to a handful
Speaker 1: of them so far. They're not Republicans by and large,
Speaker 1: they're not conservative activists, they're not listeners of the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity program. They probably lean left, and yet they are
Speaker 1: very worried about these superviruses being created in the lab
Speaker 1: and they think we shouldn't be doing it. So there
Speaker 1: was a halt to this in twenty fourteen, but then
Speaker 1: Tony Fauci and all the higher ups gave exemptions to
Speaker 1: the different labs to get started again. So very quietly
Speaker 1: they all started getting started. Now they're getting smarter. They're
Speaker 1: not calling it gain of function. They just say, oh,
Speaker 1: we're funding the research book. It isn't gain of function.
Speaker 1: But the other scientists say, but it's in the greatest
Speaker 1: evidence that the Chinese government knew that this could be
Speaker 1: very bad. You know, when did they put in their
Speaker 1: travel ban? Everyone seems to forget. I don't remember Joe
Speaker 1: Biden criticizing China for China's travel ban that prevented people
Speaker 1: from Wuhan Province from traveling to the rest of China
Speaker 1: or people from the rest of China traveling to Wuhan Province,
Speaker 1: while meanwhile they allowed people in Wuhan to travel to
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. So they were protecting themselves
Speaker 1: and infecting all the rest of the world. So when
Speaker 1: these people look at us and they say, oh, it's
Speaker 1: just a conspiracy theory that it could have come out
Speaker 1: of the lab, here's my response. The doctor in the
Speaker 1: lab of his name is doctor She She was interviewed
Speaker 1: after this and she said she couldn't sleep at night
Speaker 1: and she was scared to death that this came from
Speaker 1: her lab. Now she looked up the different viruses and
Speaker 1: swears that it didn't come from her lab. But it's
Speaker 1: sort of revealing to say that she was scared to death.
Speaker 1: That means she very much believed that it could have
Speaker 1: come from her lab. And so all of these people
Speaker 1: fouching others dismissing there's no way it came from a lab,
Speaker 1: there's no way it's man created. They're sweeping under the
Speaker 1: rug without even considering something that the inventor of these
Speaker 1: superviruses fully believed that it might have come from her lab. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that this bears investigation. The Chinese
Speaker 1: will never come forward in an honest way. They don't
Speaker 1: want to be responsible for creating this large epidemic of pandemic.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, the reason we have to discuss
Speaker 1: this is we have eleven labs like this in the US.
Speaker 1: There still is an open funding source for this lab.
Speaker 1: In China. We don't know if any money is going
Speaker 1: because we don't think they're going to be forthcoming with us.
Speaker 1: We've asked for documents to see if any money is
Speaker 1: still flowing to China. But even if it didn't go
Speaker 1: to China, we have eleven labs in our country creating superviruses,
Speaker 1: and I'm not so sure they need to be toying
Speaker 1: with the nineteen eighty Spanish flu bug and seeing that
Speaker 1: they can make it even more dangerous with the possibility
Speaker 1: it could be released. I really don't think it should
Speaker 1: be monkeyed with. So Ohio Representative Warren Davidson proposed to
Speaker 1: build to fire Anthony Fauci. Do you agree with them? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he's come to Congress have
Speaker 1: been dishonest. Now he's really the end of the rope
Speaker 1: because Senator wait, one thing, what a fightlight to Congress?
Speaker 1: I remember, wasn't that the crime, that a big crime
Speaker 1: that allowed to send twenty armed tactical geared up UH
Speaker 1: men to arrest Roger Stone and put Frogman and the
Speaker 1: CNN camera's just happened to show up at the same time.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it for a process crime call lying to Congress? Yep,
Speaker 1: you're right, we ought to enforce it, and nobody ever does.
Speaker 1: James Clapper came, no, no, no, we do. I beg
Speaker 1: to differ if you're a Republican or if you're a conservative.
Speaker 1: He gets enforced selective enforcement. That's a definition of arbitrary government.
Speaker 1: You know, it's this definition of injustice is arbitrary and
Speaker 1: selective enforcement. You're right, I mean, you're exactly right. But
Speaker 1: do I think Fauci how to be fired? Yes, I
Speaker 1: mean you can't come to Congress end lie. Now, he
Speaker 1: was trying to specifically say only didn't fun gain a function,
Speaker 1: But he hasn't gone on to be explicit to anybody
Speaker 1: that yes, we were funding the lab, we just didn't
Speaker 1: think they were doing gain of function. He goes on
Speaker 1: television about every twenty minutes and just you know, yucks
Speaker 1: it up with people and act like this is all
Speaker 1: you know, there is no truth to this, but absolutely true.
Speaker 1: We know the number of the grant. We've we sent
Speaker 1: out a tweet that has the number of the grant,
Speaker 1: you know, ten digit numeral that lists the grant that
Speaker 1: he got from from from Tony Fauci. And there's no
Speaker 1: way he didn't know about this either. Because this is
Speaker 1: a highly controversial research. He's just now saying it isn't
Speaker 1: what it is. But you know, we have a statement
Speaker 1: from an MIT biologist who's read the paper, who understands
Speaker 1: the paper, and he says that without question, this was
Speaker 1: gain of function. This was juicing up and making suits.
Speaker 1: It needs to be defunded. Congress controls the purse strings.
Speaker 1: That needs to happen. First and foremost. Let me ask
Speaker 1: you about the vaccinations. I explained the story. I hope
Speaker 1: you heard me talking about Joe and Joe Biden wearing
Speaker 1: the masks outdoors, fully vaccinated, socially distanced, go inside at
Speaker 1: ninety six year old former president, ninety three year old
Speaker 1: first lady, no mask right on top of them, no
Speaker 1: social distancing, no mask. Then they come out then again,
Speaker 1: socially distanced, fully vaccinated, mask on. So we hear this term.
Speaker 1: Now vaccine hesitancy, didn't they cause that? And now that
Speaker 1: the CDC says fully vaccinated people don't need to wear
Speaker 1: masks indoors, does that mean every restaurant should be able
Speaker 1: to open today and every school should open tomorrow? Without question?
Speaker 1: Every restaurant in school should be open, and individuals in
Speaker 1: a free society make their own decisions concerning risk. But
Speaker 1: when you look at the bidens, their vaccine theater or
Speaker 1: their mask theater is a deterrent because when you're dishonest
Speaker 1: with people, they don't believe the rest of your statements.
Speaker 1: So they're saying the vaccine works, but then they're acting
Speaker 1: like it doesn't work by still wearing a mask. So
Speaker 1: they are doing a direct disservice to further in the vaccine.
Speaker 1: But realize the DC changing these things only came about
Speaker 1: because they were mocked by the whole world, including those
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill who said, oh, less than ten percent
Speaker 1: of people are getting infected outdoors, Well maybe it's point
Speaker 1: one percent. And then somebody else looked into it says
Speaker 1: maybe no one has been infected outdoors, and the CDC
Speaker 1: came back embarrassed and changed it. But this is a
Speaker 1: real problem because these people are not catering and giving
Speaker 1: you science. The directors aren't coming from science, are coming
Speaker 1: from the opinions of sort of the busy bodies of
Speaker 1: the world, the nanny state, people who really have no
Speaker 1: idea of what freedom's about, and have no idea. I
Speaker 1: am very pro science. I am very pro vaccination. I
Speaker 1: believe in our medical researchers. I believe in the science.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of pressure put on me, Hannaday,
Speaker 1: you must use your powerful platforms and tell people they've
Speaker 1: got to get vaccinated. Well, I'm not going to be
Speaker 1: practicing medicine without a license. But this is what I
Speaker 1: recommend to my audience. Please do your research. This is
Speaker 1: a deadly virus. You don't want to ever be in
Speaker 1: a position of infecting somebody that is older, comorbidities, compromise
Speaker 1: immune systems, underlying conditions, And I'm asking people to please
Speaker 1: read the research. It's everywhere, and then to talk to
Speaker 1: your doctor or doctors or medical professionals that you know
Speaker 1: and trust, and then make the decision based on your
Speaker 1: specific medical condition, of which I know nothing about, and
Speaker 1: then make the right decision to keep yourself and your
Speaker 1: family alive and safe. Now am I giving responsible advice
Speaker 1: or should I be out there telling people what to do? Now?
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. And I think the elitist
Speaker 1: on the left they think that people are stupid. They
Speaker 1: think that people need to be told what to do
Speaker 1: because people can't figure out the truth of things. But
Speaker 1: look at the statistics. Eighty five percent of people over
Speaker 1: sixty five, the high risk people, have gotten vaccinated. So
Speaker 1: eighty five percent of anybody choosing to do something is
Speaker 1: an overwhelming success. The next category, and this is something
Speaker 1: the government hasn't been very good, is over sixty five
Speaker 1: is absolutely a risk category, but probably over forty and
Speaker 1: overweight is a risk category as well. And you're a
Speaker 1: medical doctor, and I urge people at eighty percent of
Speaker 1: people dying or overweight, make your decision. Talk to your doctors,
Speaker 1: do your research, pay attention. We really appreciate your time, Senator.
Speaker 1: You've been doing a great job and we appreciate you
Speaker 1: always sharing your time with us. Thank you, all right,
Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour, eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety four one. Sean, if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program, I have contacts. Linda has
Speaker 1: contacts in Arizona. We've been we've been watching closely. We
Speaker 1: haven't really spent a lot of time talking about it.
Speaker 1: I want to see what they come up with. And
Speaker 1: but the Arizona State Senate and the audit of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, and they were given the green light
Speaker 1: by a court now a number of occasions that this
Speaker 1: audit is right, it's right to be done, it's legal
Speaker 1: and accorded directly specifically given direction from Maricopa County out
Speaker 1: in Arizona to partake in this legal process of the
Speaker 1: Arizona State Senate. Last night Karen Finn the state. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry the Senate President sent a letter to the Maricopa
Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors. I've read the entire thing, and if
Speaker 1: I had to sum it up, I would argue, they're
Speaker 1: showing that they have observed anomalies in the entire audit process.
Speaker 1: On nothing is definitive yet and there are serious and
Speaker 1: legitimate questions they believe about specific issues about the vote
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, as it relates to chain of custody.
Speaker 1: You hear me talking a lot about that, why files
Speaker 1: were deleted, why the handling of the ballots contradictory numbers,
Speaker 1: and why access specific typically granted by the courts in
Speaker 1: a court order continues to be defied and denied. In
Speaker 1: other words, if they have a forensic gout it, but
Speaker 1: they won't allow and won't comply with the judges ruling
Speaker 1: in this case, that allows them to in fact get
Speaker 1: the hardware that would would give them the information that
Speaker 1: they're looking for, so that they can see if this
Speaker 1: was done with integrity and the people of Arizona can
Speaker 1: have confidence in the results as currently counted. And so
Speaker 1: the Senate President Karen Finn tried to offer, for example,
Speaker 1: they want these routers, and it's been they've been denied
Speaker 1: even though the court ordered them to have it. And
Speaker 1: he said, well, okay, well we'll just we'll have your
Speaker 1: people in Maricopa stay with us the whole time. We
Speaker 1: don't want to see other things that may be on
Speaker 1: the router. We have no interest in that. We just
Speaker 1: have an interest in specifically what we're looking for, which
Speaker 1: is an audit of the election. Um. Pretty bizarre. Now
Speaker 1: you know we have this history. Some people say, wew,
Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams still to this day thinks that she was
Speaker 1: elected governor what was that three years ago? Nobody ever
Speaker 1: criticizes Stacey Abrams. She's praised constantly in the media, constantly
Speaker 1: by Democrats. You wouldn't think that Democrats ever in the
Speaker 1: media ever criticized Donald Trump on the election. No, they
Speaker 1: went through efforts to delegitimize his win in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: and that never stopped through twenty twenty. Listen, do you
Speaker 1: think Donald Trump's win with legitimate election legit the election
Speaker 1: is by this intrusion? I don't see it is President
Speaker 1: elect as a legitimate president. You do not consider an
Speaker 1: a legitimate president. Does he think that Democrats should put
Speaker 1: this away. This whole idea of legitimate illegitimate president's not
Speaker 1: going to get in the middle of this right now.
Speaker 1: I get it, But you didn't answer the question is
Speaker 1: Donald Trump legitimate? I think there's a cloud of questions
Speaker 1: around what happened, the clouds of questions, and we disagree
Speaker 1: on things. But but honestly, I mean yes or no?
Speaker 1: Is he the legitimately elected president United States? When he
Speaker 1: raises his hand, we're counting on our law enforcement community
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of these questions. He also won't.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with John Lewis? Do you agree that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is in effect not a legitimate president. I
Speaker 1: think that there's no question that the process that elected
Speaker 1: him was not a legitimate agree with John Lewis on point, elected,
Speaker 1: though legally elected, is not legitimate for all the recond
Speaker 1: Isn't it more difficult now to work together when you've
Speaker 1: said flatly he's not even a legitimate president. I don't
Speaker 1: recognize this legitimacy. John Lewis said that you believe he's
Speaker 1: a legitimate president. Well, he was elected on the fact
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump can't stand he's not a legitimate president
Speaker 1: that he won't bear to tell him the truth now
Speaker 1: the legitimization of the presidency is taking hold within the country.
Speaker 1: Do you think it was a legitimate election? I think
Speaker 1: that there are lots of questions about its legitimacy. The
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election wasn't legitimate. What does it mean to
Speaker 1: say it's not legitimate? It was not a legitimate election.
Speaker 1: But do you think it was a legitimate election the time? Here? Donna?
Speaker 1: My question was it a legitimate election? Does it count?
Speaker 1: My personal view is that it was not a legitimate election,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't count, all right? So what is the
Speaker 1: truth now out? Why are why do we have Maricopa
Speaker 1: County not cooperating with a court order? Why an early
Speaker 1: perusal and red flags about the chain of custody issues,
Speaker 1: Why were in ballot bags sealed properly the significant discrepancies
Speaker 1: that were laid out in the Senate President's letter to
Speaker 1: Maricopa officials and the board of supervisors yesterday, And why,
Speaker 1: very specifically are they unwilling to turn over the routers?
Speaker 1: And why were there major deletions of the main database
Speaker 1: and is that something that's recoverable. Jay Kaufman is with
Speaker 1: US member Arizona House of Representatives twelfth district. So I've
Speaker 1: read this thing covered a cover, and I'm the first
Speaker 1: thing I'm shocked about is now that this has already
Speaker 1: been before our judge a number of times. Is my understanding,
Speaker 1: the judge has been very firm that this this information
Speaker 1: needs to be turned over, and they're defying a court order.
Speaker 1: That's right, Sean, That's exactly what's happening. And the Maricopa
Speaker 1: County Board of Supervisors, which I will add is a
Speaker 1: majority Republican, has been nothing but obstructionists since day one,
Speaker 1: since the election day, right, they have obstructed every effort
Speaker 1: and every opportunity that conservative Republicans and quite honestly Republicans
Speaker 1: across the spectrum have taken to understand exactly what happened
Speaker 1: in the last election so that we can secure our
Speaker 1: elections in sure voter confidence and legislate properly when it
Speaker 1: comes to election integrity. Moving forward. Okay, so let's look
Speaker 1: at why they're unwilling to hand over the routers and
Speaker 1: Karen Fan I guess, as the Senate President, I think
Speaker 1: came up with a fair solution. She was very clear
Speaker 1: that she has no desire to find anything else that
Speaker 1: might be on the router or in the data whatsoever,
Speaker 1: and she is willing to allow the Maricopa Board of
Speaker 1: Supervisors to be there the entire time to make sure
Speaker 1: that that integrity is upheld. That seems like a fair compromise.
Speaker 1: It does seem reasonable, And indeed, the Senate has been
Speaker 1: reasonable throughout the entire subpoena process. In fact, the Senate
Speaker 1: didn't actually want to issue subpoena. They asked in good
Speaker 1: faith for the Board of Supervisors to team with them
Speaker 1: to conduct this audit. And the Board of Supervisors snubbed
Speaker 1: their nose at even the mention that the election wasn't
Speaker 1: perfectly one hundred percent and inextricably well runned from start
Speaker 1: to finish. You know, I mean, look, this is political
Speaker 1: double talk. It's the same stuff that the American people
Speaker 1: and the people of Arizona are ticked off about in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: You know, one party controlled DC right now. They're ticked
Speaker 1: off about it there, and they're ticked off about it
Speaker 1: when their county board does it here. Okay, so let's
Speaker 1: let's go to, for example, the things that you they're discovering,
Speaker 1: at least at first sight here, because I think this
Speaker 1: is pretty important Let's let's go to the issue of
Speaker 1: chain of custody because I think, and I've been saying Jake,
Speaker 1: that I think we need five things to ensure election
Speaker 1: integrity and confidence and results in elections moving forward. One
Speaker 1: obvious is voter ID two, signature verification. Three, I always
Speaker 1: says chain of custody. Four. I think you always got
Speaker 1: to clean up the voter rolls before every election, make
Speaker 1: sure it's up to date and accurate. And last, but
Speaker 1: certainly not least, there's statutory language in almost every state
Speaker 1: that allows partisan observers from all sides to be able
Speaker 1: to watch the vote count start to finish. I think
Speaker 1: that just ensures integrity and competence and elections moving forward.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the chain of custody issues that they've
Speaker 1: already discovered that are questionable here. Yeah. Absolutely, so, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you're five things are correct, and so what we're talking
Speaker 1: about in chain of custody issues here is that there's
Speaker 1: zero chain of custody documentation for the ballots that's been
Speaker 1: provided from the county. Right, we have what is the
Speaker 1: law require currently? So the law requires that they certify
Speaker 1: that there was a chain of custody process in place,
Speaker 1: they have provided zero evidence to the fact. You know,
Speaker 1: there's another issue, and that comes to chain of custody,
Speaker 1: which is unsealed ballot bags. Now they've found they're supposed
Speaker 1: to have tamper proof tape on the ballot and that's
Speaker 1: written into the law as well. It's written into the
Speaker 1: into the Election Procedures Manual, which will be codified with
Speaker 1: the legislature is doing a wholesale look at the Election
Speaker 1: Procedures Manual and codifying things like that so that there
Speaker 1: isn't any regulatory ambiguity in the process. But yeah, they're
Speaker 1: supposed to have that type of tape on there under
Speaker 1: the current regulations when it comes to running an election,
Speaker 1: and they're not. They simply aren't doing it. There's ballot
Speaker 1: batches that are co mingled together, so they're suppose to
Speaker 1: separate ballot batches and have documentation for what's in each batch.
Speaker 1: And in some cases we're finding that one they're using
Speaker 1: flimsy dividers, and in many cases there aren't even dividers.
Speaker 1: The ballots are simply commingled together. And probably most concerning
Speaker 1: is that we found a significant number of instances in
Speaker 1: which there is a disparity between the actual number of
Speaker 1: ballots contained in a batch and the total that was
Speaker 1: denoted on the pink report slip accompanying that batch. Now,
Speaker 1: those pink slips many in many cases have come out
Speaker 1: with greater numbers of ballots than what are actually in
Speaker 1: the batches of ballots. So they're reporting higher numbers than
Speaker 1: the ballots that actually exist. Okay, that would be a
Speaker 1: pretty big significant issue. There shouldn't be one discrepancy as
Speaker 1: we continue, Jay Coffman, member of the Arizona House of
Speaker 1: Representatives twelve District, as well us explain this router thing.
Speaker 1: And by the way, understand you're talking to a technical
Speaker 1: idiot here that I know nothing about, you know, anything technical,
Speaker 1: But tell me what it means. Well, look, so on
Speaker 1: the routers, what they're doing is they're refusing to produce
Speaker 1: the virtual images of the routers. And as you noted,
Speaker 1: the Senate has been reasonable and said, hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: we understand that you may have other things contained on
Speaker 1: these server systems, and so we're willing to come in
Speaker 1: and in the county offices actually conduct our analysis so
Speaker 1: that you can observe and maintain you know, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the maximum amount of integrity in that process, and they've
Speaker 1: denied that. The other thing that they're refusing to remit
Speaker 1: regarding the routers is some of the administrative passwords needed
Speaker 1: to access the data on the machines that have been
Speaker 1: turned over and the routers that have been turned over,
Speaker 1: and that's again, they should have a contractual opportunity with
Speaker 1: their vendor to provide those Can you imagine paying millions
Speaker 1: upon millions of dollars as a government and not having
Speaker 1: access to the administrative passwords from the vendor that you
Speaker 1: purchased the equipment from. That's just it. It's insane. But unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we're really seeing that politics is becoming the land of
Speaker 1: the insane today. And this is the case in point.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I'm listening to all of this
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't fully completely understand why. You know,
Speaker 1: it's now May thirteenth, and I know, I know you're
Speaker 1: a state representative, You're but one person, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, how is it possible in this day, in
Speaker 1: the age, that you know, we find ourselves in this position.
Speaker 1: It's it's somewhat frustrating to me because the five things
Speaker 1: that I mentioned. It's not particularly complicated. You know, for example,
Speaker 1: we had voting problems in Florida in two thousand with
Speaker 1: swinging pimpled dimpled hanging you know, perforated chads, and that
Speaker 1: got fixed. Then we had problems in twenty sixteen in Florida.
Speaker 1: Those problems in Broward and Palm Aage County got fixed.
Speaker 1: And the one thing that we've got to ensure is
Speaker 1: election integrity. And you know, it's funny how all these
Speaker 1: other countries they don't allow any early voting whatsoever. I
Speaker 1: know Arizona has a lot of it. And but this
Speaker 1: got it. If we're going to have it, we have
Speaker 1: to ensure that we have integrity in the system with
Speaker 1: checks and balances, nothing to burdens them. The same checks
Speaker 1: and balances you need to buy a six pack of
Speaker 1: beer or a pack of cigarettes, or a jewel pot,
Speaker 1: or visit Joe Biden in the White House, or to
Speaker 1: go to a Democratic National convention. And yet there's this
Speaker 1: mysterious reluctance and resistance Jake to these simple reforms, especially
Speaker 1: voter ID. Why voter ID, Why are they targeting that
Speaker 1: so hard? Well, thankfully we have common sense reforms like
Speaker 1: voter ID for in person voting here now, we're having
Speaker 1: quite the hard time getting additional ID requirements for our
Speaker 1: early ballots, which, as you know, approximately eighty percent of
Speaker 1: our ballots in elections. Our cast to be an early
Speaker 1: ballot process has been that way for years and so
Speaker 1: you know why is there pushback to that? You know,
Speaker 1: it's because right now, look at HR one and S one.
Speaker 1: They just did the markup on it this week. Democrats
Speaker 1: have abandoned any any attempt at common sense and are
Speaker 1: instead trying to actively put their finger on the scale
Speaker 1: to rig the system in their favor. Right, I mean,
Speaker 1: election integrity has become the civil rights issue of our day.
Speaker 1: If people can't have trust in the process, if people
Speaker 1: can't have trust that their vote counts, why vote? What's
Speaker 1: the point of being in a civilized society. And so
Speaker 1: this is something that I will tell you Arizona. While
Speaker 1: we're fighting with our own Board of supervisors right now
Speaker 1: to get all of this what should be common sense
Speaker 1: information from them, Arizona is stepping up and is leading
Speaker 1: when it comes to election integrity. And we're fighting like
Speaker 1: heck here in the House and in the Senate, and
Speaker 1: thankfully the governor's son in our builds so far, and
Speaker 1: we've put through a number of good reforms. We've banned
Speaker 1: the Zuckerberg money, the half a billion dollars that Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: gave to try and influence the twenty twenty election. We've
Speaker 1: banned that practice. We just did a big cleanup on
Speaker 1: our voter rolls, opening in states, thankfully, all across the country.
Speaker 1: And all I know is if I'd defied a court order,
Speaker 1: why do I think I'd be in jail. I'm beginning
Speaker 1: to think I'm like the only one that actually obeys
Speaker 1: laws anymore. Stupid me. I don't know. I just if
Speaker 1: I don't like the law, I abide by it anyway,
Speaker 1: and I just Trump try and fight to change it,
Speaker 1: which is the way he's supposed to do it. Jake
Speaker 1: will watch it closely. Thank you for being with us.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn
Speaker 1: is our number. Quick break right back, all right, Dud's
Speaker 1: round up end Information Overload hours Sean Hannity Show, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one, Shawn, if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program, we'll get to your

Speaker 1: been friends with Bo Snerdley, better known as well James
Speaker 1: Golden is his real name, and bo Snerdley was the
Speaker 1: name that Rush gave him on air. He was with
Speaker 1: Russia Limbaugh for nearly all thirty three years of the
Speaker 1: Russia limboch Show. Now are syndicated our partners in Radio
Speaker 1: or Premiere Radio Networks and iHeart and They, along with
Speaker 1: the EIB Network, they are now launching a new original,
Speaker 1: limited original podcast series, Rush Limbaugh, The Man behind the
Speaker 1: Golden the IB Microphone. It's a twelve episode series. It's
Speaker 1: narrated by my good friend, and he's been a good
Speaker 1: friend all these years. James Golden aka boast Nerdly. It launches.
Speaker 1: It launched yesterday. It's on demand. You can take it
Speaker 1: anytime you want. And it is the behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: Here's the trailer. Whether the news was good. This is
Speaker 1: the happiest and the most optimust Optimus presents popping all
Speaker 1: kinds of things happening in the middle of your day.
Speaker 1: He would be the fastest three hours in media. Rush
Speaker 1: Linball having more fun than the human being which should
Speaker 1: be allowed to have. Thirty three years, three three years
Speaker 1: of telling the truth. I think I just have to
Speaker 1: be saying what a whole lot of people think they
Speaker 1: don't have a chance to say themselves. Of triumph, the
Speaker 1: Presidential Medal of Freedom, the State of the Union address
Speaker 1: to Rush Limbough, and now tribute the man who has
Speaker 1: literally paved the way for you. Rush Limbaugh died today
Speaker 1: using his battle with lung can. There is no talk
Speaker 1: radio without Russia limb thirty three years of excellence in broadcasting.
Speaker 1: People don't remember what you say, too many words lined
Speaker 1: around it, but they never forget how you make them feel.
Speaker 1: This is Rush from the very beginning, three hours of broadcast, excellent,
Speaker 1: straight ahead, great a head until now. So I have
Speaker 1: to tell you something today, but I wish I didn't
Speaker 1: have to tell you, and it's it's a struggle for
Speaker 1: me because I had to inform my staff earlier. Today
Speaker 1: I have been diagnosed with advanced lunk. This podcast takes
Speaker 1: you behind the golden EIB microphone with those who knew
Speaker 1: him best and loved him the most, and then Rush
Speaker 1: being Rush apologized to us. He said, I'm sorry I
Speaker 1: let you down, and I let out an involuntary scream. No.
Speaker 1: Hosted by James Golden, who you might know better as
Speaker 1: Bo s Nerdly. Rush made no secret about it. He
Speaker 1: said it, and it was jest, but it wasn't. I
Speaker 1: was born to host, and you were born to listen.
Speaker 1: And until the very end, that was Rush Numbaugh, born
Speaker 1: to host with Talent on Loan from God. This is
Speaker 1: the definitive story of Rush with special guests and stories
Speaker 1: never before heard. Whether it happened on the air or
Speaker 1: behind the scene, he was simply Rush. It has been
Speaker 1: one of the biggest blessings to be able to tell
Speaker 1: you the entire story of Talent on Loan. And they're
Speaker 1: all button memories now, I mean, they really just seem
Speaker 1: like they happened yesterday. Coming soon to iHeartRadio or wherever
Speaker 1: you download your podcasts, and that podcast now you can
Speaker 1: download it we go. It's right on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1: It's iHeart dot com slash apps on iHeartRadio. Russ Lumbaugh
Speaker 1: the man behind the Golden EIB microphone, hosted by the
Speaker 1: dear friend of mine for many, many years, James Golden
Speaker 1: aka Bo Snerdley. I know it's hard for me. I'm
Speaker 1: just listening to all of that and it's it's like
Speaker 1: I still haven't fully grasped that he's not with us anymore.
Speaker 1: Does that make any sense? Of course it does, Sean.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to it with you, and believe it or not,
Speaker 1: my eyes a cheery again. Even though ever, I've heard
Speaker 1: of this trailer, you know, at this point dozens of times,
Speaker 1: but it just still hurts and still seems to be
Speaker 1: quite unreal. You know, it was a particularly hard time
Speaker 1: in your life. And I don't know if you want
Speaker 1: me to share this or not, but you lost your
Speaker 1: mom within a week after losing Rush three days later,
Speaker 1: and just say something too, because you said you tell
Speaker 1: people you're good friends, Nate and people, yeah, yeah, good friends.
Speaker 1: People say those words all the time. No, Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: is not just a good friend, He's a dear friend.
Speaker 1: He's an everything friend. Because throughout this whole process, from
Speaker 1: the time they Rush made his announcement till the time
Speaker 1: that Rush passed and then, as Sean just mentioned, my
Speaker 1: mom passed three days later. Sean, Hanny was on the
Speaker 1: phone with me so much, just making sure I was okay,
Speaker 1: checking to see not just to me, how the rest
Speaker 1: of our staff was. When he called other members of
Speaker 1: our staff show and showing I guess you will never
Speaker 1: know how much all of that meant to me and
Speaker 1: how much it means to all of us two for
Speaker 1: the love coming from you, and it was all through
Speaker 1: the process and showing it just meant so much. You
Speaker 1: know what the amazing thing is is that when when
Speaker 1: I came to New York to work on Fox in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six and then worked at WABC in New York,
Speaker 1: we referred to it affectionately here as the ex Wife
Speaker 1: at this point, But that's a fun just a side
Speaker 1: note from an old points. But anyway, you know, I
Speaker 1: remember going into for the first time the control room.
Speaker 1: Rush was doing this show, and I knew you, and
Speaker 1: I knew Mike Mamon, and I knew Kick Carson and Ki.
Speaker 1: If Kit wanted to throw you out, he throw you
Speaker 1: out in two seconds. But we all seemed to get
Speaker 1: along pretty well. That was like the smoking center for
Speaker 1: cigars and everybody and all things going on that you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to do any way. But and I realized
Speaker 1: very quickly that there was always a show going on
Speaker 1: behind the show, and that was you basically telling people
Speaker 1: to go f off and arguing with people at the
Speaker 1: top of your lungs that you were screening calls with
Speaker 1: I'd never seen anything like it because I was kind
Speaker 1: of always brought up in the tradition that our listeners,
Speaker 1: it's like your customers. You got to serve them. I meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you're slamming down phones telling them to drop dead. I
Speaker 1: mean it was if I could ever run those shows,
Speaker 1: it would be that would be a story in and
Speaker 1: of itself. Well, you know what, I've mellowed over the years.
Speaker 1: But by the way, no, you have not. You haven't
Speaker 1: mellowed at all. That's not true. Oh well, let me
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, okay. So, this incredible journey
Speaker 1: with this unique, incredible performer, passionate patriot, unbelievable human and
Speaker 1: being generosity beyond comprehension, you know, to talk about the
Speaker 1: big picture. And you also, you say in this because
Speaker 1: I've had a sneak peek of it, the only blessing
Speaker 1: greater than working with Rush was knowing the man that
Speaker 1: he truly was. It was not only my honor but
Speaker 1: my duty to help ensure his legacy is properly acknowledged.
Speaker 1: And and that's why, you know, I'm so glad you
Speaker 1: got to do this. And I mean every word of that.
Speaker 1: You know, Rush, all the things that you just mentioned,
Speaker 1: his generosity, his incredible professionalism is with his intellect. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: all that is great. All that is wonderful. And the
Speaker 1: whole professional life that he had is something that most
Speaker 1: of us in this industry whish we could aspire to
Speaker 1: to have. And Sean you, you know, you you're having
Speaker 1: a great ride yourself there buddy in radios, waiting for
Speaker 1: somebody to wake up and realize they screwed up and
Speaker 1: made the mistakes. You know, but that was Rush was
Speaker 1: a gentleman. And you know this because you were in
Speaker 1: there with us. You know, somebody brings him up a
Speaker 1: cup of coffee. What does he say? Thank you sir,
Speaker 1: thank you ma'am off the air, Very quiet off the air,
Speaker 1: always extremely polite, always so much of a gentleman, so
Speaker 1: much of a nice guy with respect for everybody that
Speaker 1: he comes in contact or came in contact with. I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy, Rush Lamba was just as a larger than
Speaker 1: life figure off the air for being a great person,
Speaker 1: a good guy that treated others the way that they
Speaker 1: should be treated as he was. For everything that he
Speaker 1: did in radio, which will live on and on for generations.
Speaker 1: As he made that announcement that day, and I want
Speaker 1: to talk about that day in a minute. But one
Speaker 1: of the things as after the announcement that he had
Speaker 1: advanced stage four lung cancer. You know, I started reading
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did too, right, we all we all
Speaker 1: go to the internet and we think, you know, chuck
Speaker 1: out with doctor Google had to say. And there was
Speaker 1: there was not much good at all in that diagnosis. Um,
Speaker 1: And there was little hope. There was a little you know,
Speaker 1: I tried to pull out whatever I could find that
Speaker 1: that gave me some hope. Um, as I'm sure you did, um.
Speaker 1: But what was the amazing thing to me is, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen the movie The bucket
Speaker 1: List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman's and here's rush.
Speaker 1: When they when you get chemo the way he was
Speaker 1: getting it, they they half kill you in the hopes
Speaker 1: to either save you or buy you more time than
Speaker 1: you otherwise would have had. That's what that's what chemo does.
Speaker 1: And I think one day we'll look back as our
Speaker 1: treatments of cancer as barbaric and we'll have it advanced
Speaker 1: so far medically, that's what I believe. But he's going
Speaker 1: through it. What was Russia's bucket list? It wasn't wasn't
Speaker 1: to travel the world. He knew that his time was
Speaker 1: likely over and it's just a matter of how much
Speaker 1: time and many days sick as a dog after being treated,
Speaker 1: his bucket list was to get back up behind the
Speaker 1: golden aib mic and be with his audience. That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Rush's bucket list this final year, the final year that
Speaker 1: he spent with us and Sean, it was as difficult
Speaker 1: as you say, and even more they were. And here's
Speaker 1: the amazing thing about it. When the mic came on,
Speaker 1: even after he came back from his treatments and he
Speaker 1: was going through it, he was going through all of
Speaker 1: the effects of the came off. When the microphone came on,
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell. His energy was the same level as
Speaker 1: if he were just having a normal show. His enthusiasm,
Speaker 1: his drive, all of that was the same. It was
Speaker 1: he was robusted. Was just if you were listening, you
Speaker 1: could not tell that you were listening to someone that
Speaker 1: was fighting and having the major fight of his life
Speaker 1: to stay alive. What you heard was someone that was
Speaker 1: just giving it all to his radio show, like he
Speaker 1: did for the entire thirty three years this national show
Speaker 1: was syndicated, and before that to even get there. But
Speaker 1: after the show, Sean, there were days when we were
Speaker 1: the three of us in there, Brian Darner myself after
Speaker 1: the show, when he could barely get up. Some days
Speaker 1: after the show he was so weak, he was so
Speaker 1: exhausted from the energy. And you know this, I mean,
Speaker 1: if people don't think, and I'm not saying that they should,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of energy in doing a radio show.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of focus, there's a lot of energy,
Speaker 1: and the prep work that it takes to be able
Speaker 1: to even perform is demanding. And so by the time
Speaker 1: the show was over, my goodness, he had expended the
Speaker 1: energy that he had and that he gave it. He
Speaker 1: left nothing off the field. He gave it his all,
Speaker 1: and that's what he wanted to do, to be with
Speaker 1: his audience as long as he could, for as many
Speaker 1: days as he could. Take us back to the day
Speaker 1: that he told you, Brian and Dawn and the staff
Speaker 1: and Mike Mamone and I'm gonna forget everyone's name here,
Speaker 1: forgive me that he told you what was going on
Speaker 1: well and told America, Yeah, it was an all hand
Speaker 1: staff meeting, and we knew immediately. I was on my
Speaker 1: way to work when I got the call and we
Speaker 1: were going to have a meeting, and I knew something
Speaker 1: was wrong, and my stomach immediately got I had butterflies immediately,
Speaker 1: because we didn't have meetings, We didn't have an all
Speaker 1: we had maybe one or two in the entire three
Speaker 1: decades meetings of the entire staff, and those that weren't
Speaker 1: in Florida were on the phone lines, were on conference lines,
Speaker 1: and um, so we all knew that something was wrong. Dawn,
Speaker 1: in fact, came back. She was on a schedule of
Speaker 1: vacation day and they Craig had reached out to her
Speaker 1: Craig Kitchen and asked her to come back in early
Speaker 1: from her vacation. So she knew something was wrong, but
Speaker 1: but everyone was trying not to panic. And then, as
Speaker 1: I say, and I talked about this on the podcast,
Speaker 1: Rush came in and and at first you couldn't tell.
Speaker 1: He didn't look like anything was wrong. He was just stoic.
Speaker 1: He looked like he had no anxiety. But within minutes
Speaker 1: we all knew, because that's when he broke the news
Speaker 1: to us that he'd had this advanced lung cancer and
Speaker 1: he did apologize to us, which I still to this day.
Speaker 1: It's every time I think about that. It still it
Speaker 1: still hits me emotionally that he felt to me to
Speaker 1: do that. Um, and I wish you know, but that's
Speaker 1: just who he was. I mean, he always felt like
Speaker 1: like he was responsible for all of us on this
Speaker 1: staff and it was just an amazing thing. My gun
Speaker 1: instinct is to hold you over, but I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you why I'm not going to do that, And I mean,
Speaker 1: this is because I want to hear the rest of
Speaker 1: the story. And that's what this whole series is about.

Speaker 1: a woman if you happen to be African American, and
Speaker 1: she was passionate. She gave this speech in the Loudon
Speaker 1: County Public School District in Virginia and it was amazing,
Speaker 1: really strong and powerful. Anyway, it caught our eye and
Speaker 1: I wanted to have her on. I had her on
Speaker 1: with our friend Larry Elder and so she comes on
Speaker 1: TV and I and this is very common. She was.
Speaker 1: She doesn't do TV. She's a mom. She did a
Speaker 1: great job challenging the school district. Remember, we can't even
Speaker 1: our kids can't even read, write and do maths anymore.
Speaker 1: Never mind what history our kids are learning and what
Speaker 1: wokeness they're being taught every hour of every day. We
Speaker 1: got to get back to fundamentals. We got to get
Speaker 1: back to basics. And she very passionately and articulately made
Speaker 1: the case before the school board. So we were glad
Speaker 1: to have her on the air last night. And she
Speaker 1: in the beginning she was a little bit nervous, and
Speaker 1: I could tell, and she was reading. And meanwhile I
Speaker 1: had already watched her presentation before the school board, and
Speaker 1: I knew she knew the material. And I just try
Speaker 1: to say. I said, Sean, tell to speak from your heart.
Speaker 1: You will understand this. And then she clicked in and
Speaker 1: just killed it. She did great. May play a little
Speaker 1: bit of it. CRT is racist, it is abusive, It
Speaker 1: discriminates against one's color. Let me educate you. An honest
Speaker 1: dialog does not impress oppress. An honest dialogue does not
Speaker 1: implement hatred or injustice is to communicate with deceiving without
Speaker 1: deceiving people. Today, we don't need your agreement. We want
Speaker 1: action in a backbone for what we ask for today
Speaker 1: to ban CRT. We don't want your political advertisement to
Speaker 1: divide our children or belittle them. Think twice before you
Speaker 1: indoctrinate such racist theories. You cannot tell me what is
Speaker 1: or is not racists look at me. I have a
Speaker 1: biracial family. So does this mean they should resent their
Speaker 1: white ethnicity and take advantage of the current narrative? Perhaps
Speaker 1: the white half of my children should reflect on their
Speaker 1: guilt and shame for something that they have no control over.
Speaker 1: I think not. So I'm fighting against this prejudice. I
Speaker 1: encourage parents to research CRT keyword to look out for
Speaker 1: his equity. I mean it so powerful. And she did
Speaker 1: such a great job on TV. You know, it's Linda.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this a lot. I have friends of
Speaker 1: mine they're either like, how do you do it? Like
Speaker 1: they start trembling at the thought if they have to
Speaker 1: give a presentation or a speech of any kind, and
Speaker 1: they're like, you're on the radio shooting your mouth ball
Speaker 1: three hours a day, at on TV an hour a night.
Speaker 1: And you know, I remember when I started, I had
Speaker 1: you know, I got nervous sometimes. I remember with those days.
Speaker 1: But it's the number one fear. Public speaking is the
Speaker 1: number one fear people have. And I am I'm very
Speaker 1: proud of the fact that I have I am able
Speaker 1: to and have helped people that don't like public speaking.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you and I really learned a very
Speaker 1: valuable lesson. Do you remember the case of Terry Shivo, Linda,
Speaker 1: Remember we were down there for like a whole week
Speaker 1: and back in the day and broadcasting on TV. It
Speaker 1: was this lovely woman and she was a nurse and
Speaker 1: she had taken care of Terry Shivo, and she believed
Speaker 1: that Terry did at times seem to be aware and
Speaker 1: showed a response. Remember you might remember the balloons and
Speaker 1: her eyes following the balloons, etc. That was just a
Speaker 1: was just a terrible case. You have these parents that
Speaker 1: they want to take care of their daughter, her husband
Speaker 1: that doesn't want her on a machine the rest of
Speaker 1: her life, and a conflict look at and they were saying,
Speaker 1: we don't want anything from you, just let us take
Speaker 1: care of our daughter. Now. If it was me and
Speaker 1: I had parents begging and pleading and they really wanted
Speaker 1: to do it, and the doctors were telling me that
Speaker 1: the odds are, like, you know, negligible at best, there's
Speaker 1: no chance. I probably would concede to the wishes of
Speaker 1: the parents because I would want to honor them and
Speaker 1: maybe even pray for a miracle too. But he was
Speaker 1: free to go on with his life. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: why he pushed it that hard. There are all sorts
Speaker 1: of theories about it. At the time, I don't I
Speaker 1: have no idea what really happened. Anyway, So this nurse
Speaker 1: comes on and I could see she was so nervous,
Speaker 1: she was visibly shaking. And what happens. You know, the
Speaker 1: mind can mess with you. And what happens You get
Speaker 1: into this like cycle and you start spinning, spiraling downwards
Speaker 1: where your thoughts create these feelings of fear, and then
Speaker 1: then you feel the fear and that just you know,
Speaker 1: creates more of the thoughts that are creating the fear.
Speaker 1: So the feelings create more thoughts. The thoughts create more
Speaker 1: feelings and sicker feelings in your stomach, and then to
Speaker 1: the point where you're so locked into your fear you
Speaker 1: can't get out of it. And that's why some the
Speaker 1: best athletes are are able to get in the zone,
Speaker 1: as they call it. Anyway, I did something. It's gonna
Speaker 1: sound a little mean, I promise it wasn't, but I
Speaker 1: kind of like like put my arm on her and
Speaker 1: I put a little tiny extra pressure so she would
Speaker 1: notice it. Not a lot, I believe me. It was
Speaker 1: very gentle, and I saw her eyes like looked, WHOA,
Speaker 1: this guy's strong or something like that. She was thinking.
Speaker 1: But I did it just it took her right out
Speaker 1: of her head. And then I said, hold my hand.
Speaker 1: I guess, give me your hand. I held her hand
Speaker 1: and I held it tightly, a little bit, a little
Speaker 1: tighter than a normal handshake. And she noticed that too.
Speaker 1: Now she's not thinking, and now she's not in the
Speaker 1: in the spiral, she's not thinking about it. She said,
Speaker 1: what is he doing? Shakespan. He's got a hard hand,
Speaker 1: chick that kind of thing, and you can snap people
Speaker 1: and shock people out of that state. She ended up
Speaker 1: doing a great job. She started out shaking it does
Speaker 1: Now does that make sense? Because you've got to break
Speaker 1: that cycle, Linda, Does that make any sense to you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think what you're trying to
Speaker 1: say and not so many words, is that we use
Speaker 1: pressure points, right, so like it's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: you put a paper clip in your hand, or some
Speaker 1: people like they cross the legs or they you know,
Speaker 1: do something with their hand, anything to distract your mind
Speaker 1: from being nervous from what you're about to do. And
Speaker 1: so that will be a great point, like like tennis player.
Speaker 1: You know Nadal, it's I mean, it's so exaggerated, or
Speaker 1: Maria Scherer Poviv so exaggerated their rituals. And the reason
Speaker 1: Nadal does he takes one side of his hand and
Speaker 1: pushes back his hair, then he touches his nose, then
Speaker 1: he does the other side of his hair, touches his
Speaker 1: nose again, and then grabs his backside and he bounces
Speaker 1: the ball the exact number of times, and then he serves.
Speaker 1: The reason is is that he does not want to
Speaker 1: think at that moment, so he's thinking about only doing
Speaker 1: his rituals. And then when he sits down, he sits
Speaker 1: there and his bottles are put one here, one here,
Speaker 1: one here, exact same spot. I mean, it became a
Speaker 1: big deal when one of the players walked by and
Speaker 1: purposely knocked it over to get to mess him up.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy. But the mind is so powerful
Speaker 1: and we don't pay attention to it. And I've been
Speaker 1: able to over time, like friends of mine when they're
Speaker 1: going to give presentations, I said, a right, let's come
Speaker 1: on over and I'll show you how to do it,
Speaker 1: and you give them little techniques. There are people that
Speaker 1: some of the best speakers I know, I can pick
Speaker 1: up their techniques of staying relaxed and in the zone.
Speaker 1: New Gamerige is an example. He often keeps his hands
Speaker 1: together and he rolls his thumbs. Why because that puts
Speaker 1: him in the zone. If you know your material, you
Speaker 1: don't really have to refer to your notes as much
Speaker 1: as you think. You might just want to have a
Speaker 1: list of bullet points that you want to touch. And
Speaker 1: I know it's so funny. Maybe we should do like
Speaker 1: an online class one day overcoming your fear of public speaking.
Speaker 1: Do you like that idea? Yeah, except that they'll all
Speaker 1: have their cameras and their Microsoft and we won't know
Speaker 1: if they're there because it'll be too scared. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna work. I mean, Katie's Katie
Speaker 1: who works on our team is Oh, she's super scared.
Speaker 1: Put it on right now. Okay, Yes, it's terrifying. I
Speaker 1: hate it? Why do you hate it? Like what I'm
Speaker 1: about to say, if I go to Linda and Ethan
Speaker 1: and Sweet Baby or Jacone and I got then I
Speaker 1: go to you, You're like if I don't go to
Speaker 1: you first, you're a wreck, right. I shake like I'm terrified.
Speaker 1: I hate it, Like your kid, this is killing you
Speaker 1: right now, right, it's killing me. And same in school,
Speaker 1: Like when I was in school and had to do presentations,
Speaker 1: I hated it. Listen, I had to show my own
Speaker 1: kids stuff. But of course then my kids so they're
Speaker 1: not gonna listen to anything that so it does not
Speaker 1: don't even think they know what I do for a living.
Speaker 1: And so, now did you now what I just said?
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Can you relate to that? Yes,
Speaker 1: the twiddling of the thumbs, that's definitely me like just
Speaker 1: trying to distract myself from overthinking it or I don't know,
Speaker 1: the anxiety that just builds up, like you can't really
Speaker 1: control it. I don't know how, you'll say, Katie, make
Speaker 1: sure you tell them. So Katie does this walk off
Speaker 1: the ledge thing with a lot of the callers in
Speaker 1: and they get and they get nervous. They go, oh,
Speaker 1: never mind you. I don't want to go in there.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go there in case like, no, no,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it. Yeah, it's gonna be fantastic. Your
Speaker 1: point is great, you know she doesn't the opposite of
Speaker 1: James Golden right, the opposite, correct, Kay, and Paul screen
Speaker 1: or back in the day. I like some people. So
Speaker 1: I would go in there and I'd be like, can
Speaker 1: you please be nice to our customers? Please? And what
Speaker 1: would I always say? I forget? Maybe maybe? Yeah, it depends.
Speaker 1: Such a great employee, you always listen to the boss,
Speaker 1: so I'll always listen to the I'm like, I'm giving
Speaker 1: out bonuses during coronavirus. Boss, I'm not taking it. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna catch me bonus. I don't need the bonun
Speaker 1: I might see that bonus. I'm giving the bonus to
Speaker 1: everybody that's a faithful employee. And no, it's not if
Speaker 1: your boss offers your money, take it and kenn back
Speaker 1: quickly back to the public speaking. So, yeah, so Katie,
Speaker 1: talk about your weak points. Listen. I didn't say that
Speaker 1: I did or I didn't. I just said, let's talk
Speaker 1: about Katie. You can divide from that whatever you like.
Speaker 1: So all right, look, any quick survey here, Robert in
Speaker 1: Long Island, you have a fear of public speaking at all? Robert? Oh,
Speaker 1: maybe Robert's not that he's scared on Arizona. Do you
Speaker 1: have a fear of public speaking? No, but I'm getting
Speaker 1: one after listening to you guys, hang on there, right,
Speaker 1: We'll go right back to Heather in Oklahoma. Do you
Speaker 1: have a fear of public speaking? Not really until right now?
Speaker 1: What am I doing? I'm like ruining my whole show.
Speaker 1: Corey in New York. Do you have a fear of
Speaker 1: public speaking? Absolutely not, Sean. I've been in the military
Speaker 1: for a long time, so public speaking is kind of thing.
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, Heather, and Corey. We're gonna put you
Speaker 1: all on at one time because we don't have enough
Speaker 1: time for individual calls. Thank you all. Brian will start
Speaker 1: with you. You can say hi to Heather and Corey
Speaker 1: and what's on your mind, Jeremy, Yes, sir, I can
Speaker 1: hear you all right, Hey, Sean, So on a regular basis,
Speaker 1: I hear you say that the DNC has been taken
Speaker 1: over in control now by the radical left, with you know,
Speaker 1: being let by AOC in the squad. What I've yet
Speaker 1: to hear you here, though, is kind of an explanation
Speaker 1: as to how that's possible. It just doesn't seem practical too.
Speaker 1: You know, everything Joe is doing, everything Pelosi is doing,
Speaker 1: everything Choomer's doing is in accordance with their new Green deal. Okay,
Speaker 1: but a bartender just becomes you know, they elected to Congress,
Speaker 1: and then everyone's suddenly scared of her. I don't understand
Speaker 1: this is that I'm a bartender at that became a
Speaker 1: talk show host. Anything can happen. It's the greatest country
Speaker 1: in the world. Now, I was seventeen when I was
Speaker 1: tending barr head there. Where's your thoughts on this? Well?
Speaker 1: My thought is, where are Republicans in Congress? Why have
Speaker 1: they not invoked the twenty fifth Amendment or impeachment for
Speaker 1: this has beenstration. If I'm right in my suspicions, they've
Speaker 1: got a big problem. Who knew what? Whatever? If I'm
Speaker 1: right that Joe is really really struggling cognitively, and you know,
Speaker 1: that would be a degenerative condition, and in fact, the
Speaker 1: pressures of the office would probably make it worse. And
Speaker 1: but they would have to they would have to create
Speaker 1: an event to justify that, and most people are afraid
Speaker 1: to just state the obvious. My problem with all that
Speaker 1: is our enemies can see exactly what you see, and
Speaker 1: I see and Brian sees and Corey do you see
Speaker 1: a cognitively struggling Joe? Oh for sure, I mean he's
Speaker 1: been struggling. But if you involve the twenty fifth Amendment,
Speaker 1: then you have your other choice, which would be Commo,
Speaker 1: which I really personally don't want. I think he's the
Speaker 1: last of the two evils. Rick Renel thinks that Susan Rice,
Speaker 1: I believe is running the show. He said that yesterday.
Speaker 1: What are you think somebody's running the show. He's definitely not.
Speaker 1: Susan right to be a big one. And well, she's
Speaker 1: got her two cents in there, and then you know
Speaker 1: Schumer and them, so they're all corrupt anyway. But Joe
Speaker 1: has this little sippy cup of warm milk every night
Speaker 1: around seven in bed at seven thirty and it's night
Speaker 1: night time. Is that going overboard, Heather? Or is that
Speaker 1: pretty fair? I think that's more than fair. And if
Speaker 1: they would invote the twenty fifth Amendment, then perhaps we
Speaker 1: could get Kamala impeached for her dereliction of duty and
Speaker 1: ignoring the human trafficking that is happening at the southern border.
Speaker 1: There is a case to be made about the fact
Speaker 1: that they just ignore the laws they don't like. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Brian, maybe I'm paranoid if if you break
Speaker 1: the law, Heather breaks the law. Corey breaks the laps.
Speaker 1: I break the law. I'm going to jail. I don't
Speaker 1: get to pick and choose what laws I obey, do you.
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of the hypocracy. No I don't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well you're all amazing and none of you. You all
Speaker 1: get an A plus for public speaking today. Okay, Brian,
Speaker 1: thank you, Heather, thank you, Corey, thank you, and thanks
Speaker 1: for listening. And uh we hope we'll call and we'll
Speaker 1: do this again soon. Okay, definitely, thank thank you guys,
