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

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and everybody to the Thursday edition

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. There is

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: a lot going on and we'll be diving into all

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: of it with you momentarily. But we wanted to take

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: a minute four two or more for us first year

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

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: today we lost the founding father of conservative talk radio,

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

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: a man, a legend, a way of life, doing what

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

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: behind his back, just to make it fair, exercise his

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: talent on loan from God for over three decades before

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: succumbing to stage four lung cancer last year, a battle

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

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Rush was larger than life in the radio universe, but

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

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

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: more fun than any human beings should be allowed to have. Clay,

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

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: would have the great honor and the great responsibility of

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: just trying to take up the fight because we both

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: knew right away. We looked at each other and said,

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as replacing Rush. Lombodi's the greatest

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: that ever lived, the greatest that will be in this

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

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

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

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Catherine Rush's widow here in

30
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: a little bit on the show, and over the months

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: that we have been sitting behind a couple of pairs

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: of golden microphones. As you well said, nobody can fill

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Rush's shoes, but hopefully each of us can fill one

34
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: of them. And that was the idea that Julie Talbot,

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

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: been working with Rush for decades before, doing such a

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

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: the battles that he had been fighting were only going

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: to be accelerating in terms of their intensity. And I

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

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: thinking about every time you believe it can't get crazier,

42
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: it can't get wilder than it is right now. Over

43
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: the past year, it has and Rush was maybe the

44
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: foremost defender of American exceptionalism and the importance of America

45
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: as a shining city on the hill in the history

46
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: of media. And he knew that the battles were going

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

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

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

50
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: is that Rush raised up a generation. I'm sure you've

51
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: met so many of these people in the ten months

52
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: or so that we've been doing the show, Buck, all

53
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: over the country who say, not only I listened for

54
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: a long time, but I'm impressed by people who said,

55
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I started listening when I was a young kid, and

56
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: I grew up with Rush. I mean, there are a

57
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of people listening to us right now in their thirties,

58
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: forties and fifties, twenties two who listened with their parents

59
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: in the car, who grew up, who had Rush as

60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: that constant voice in their ear. And we know that

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

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

63
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: an honor and a privilege for us to be bequeathed

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

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

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

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

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

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

70
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: That Rush was the one who made it feel so powerful, important,

71
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: but so connected, made it feel like you could gather

72
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: together millions of like minded patriots, conservatives, friends every day

73
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: listening all across the country. There was something deeply special

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: about that. And I've always said Russian in that sense

75
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: was a force multiplier. Right. We're sitting here because of

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

77
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: but beyond that, the movement that he really in so

78
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: many ways was, if not the originator or the creator

79
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: of a foremost general, one of the guys who made

80
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: such a difference for so many. And so we do

81
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: want to take time today to honor Rush his legacy

82
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: and his memory on the one year anniversary of his passing.

83
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: We want to strive to honor that legacy by continuing

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

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

86
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: You've only got one is he would often remind all

87
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: of us when you were listening, you remember that most

88
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: of all, to have fun and laugh. You got to

89
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: never forget to laugh. We've got a couple of special

90
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: guests today, including his wife Catherine, his Clay mentioned and

91
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: fellow legendary broadcaster Sean Hannity. And throughout the program you'll

92
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: hear some familiar voices from family and former staff on

93
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: the EIB. But again we know that Rush wouldn't just

94
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: want all the attention to be on him. He would

95
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: want us to be happy warriors. He would say, there's

96
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: too much work to be done. So we'll make sure

97
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: to bring you the issues of the day to day.

98
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: We'll try to make the complex understandable. We're going to

99
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: open the lines up as well if any of you

100
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: have thoughts, feelings you want to share about Rush on

101
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: the one year passing. But Clay continue the mission doing

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: the best weekend, day in and day out, to try

103
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: to tell the folks what's going on. So with that

104
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: in mind, we'll be going back to the legacy of

105
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: Rush throughout the program today McClay for right now on

106
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: the news, what do you got, Oh, I've fired up Buck,

107
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: and you know this because we're talking about it off air,

108
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: leading in Doctor Fauci is at this point, Buck spreading

109
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: one hundred percent lies about kids in masks. He said

110
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: on CNN that it's too risky to let kids out

111
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: of masks. And I want to give a shout out

112
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: because we've been talking about this battle for a while

113
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: Loudon County, Northern Virginia, which has turned into one of

114
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: the battlegrounds. They have gotten basically complete and total victory

115
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: in Loudon County, and all of the anti masking strong

116
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: parts here, all of them are slowly starting to actually

117
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: add up. But I want to play this cut for

118
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: you Buck of Doctor Fauci that has me so fired up.

119
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: I saw this just before we were going to do

120
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: the show. Fauci went on CNN and he said, it's

121
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: too risky to take masks off kids. Right now, listen

122
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: to this. We could get lucky because the trajectory right

123
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: now is going way down and it very well may

124
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: be that if you take masks off the kids in

125
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: the next week or so, it's going to keep going down.

126
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: But you've really got to be careful. You know, you

127
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's an absolutely wrong decision. It's

128
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: understandable why people want to take masks off the kids,

129
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: but right now, given to the level of activity that

130
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: we have, it is risky. Is a sociopath? I mean,

131
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 1: is he a sociopath? I think that's a fair question

132
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: to ask it. It's absolutely not risky. It hasn't been

133
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: risky from day one on. We see all the numbers.

134
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Clay, you sit here and go through drowning

135
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: in a bathtub, being in a car, the actual risk

136
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: data for children, and unless you're going to have your

137
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: child living in a literal bubble where they can't go

138
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: outside and they're protected from all germs, you just need

139
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: to shut this guy out. What is wrong with him?

140
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: If you Drew drove your kid to school this morning,

141
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I did, your kids were under more more danger of

142
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: death on that drive to school than they are from COVID.

143
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: If you take your kids to a swimming pool at

144
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: any point this spring, summer, winter, any point, they're more

145
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: likely to drown there than they are to die with

146
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: COVID and the data. At this point, Safaucci tries to

147
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: keep saying, I am the science. I'm not trying to

148
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: do my Fauci voice, but you can do it better

149
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: than me. But he says, I am the science. The

150
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: science is clear. Masks have had no impact in schools.

151
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: To their credit, one of the top directors in Charlotte,

152
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: Nor Carolina, came out and said, hey, Mecklenburg County, which

153
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: is where Charlotte is, that had a mask mandate in place,

154
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: nobody else around them did. The rates of COVID were

155
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: no different in Charlotte as opposed to the surrounding communities

156
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: where I live here in Nashville. No difference on the

157
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: rates of COVID where they had mask mandates on kids

158
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: in Davidson County, Nashville, Tennessee versus Williamson County, which is Franklin, Brentwood.

159
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: Six months of data, no difference in rate of infection

160
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: for COVID. There is no way. And we've had lots

161
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: of scientific experts for the people out there said well,

162
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: you're not a doctor. We've had lots of doctors on

163
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: who disagree with Fauci. Here's what's going on, buck. He

164
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: is trying to cover for the teachers unions that are

165
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: still arguing that masks need to be in place. Absolutely,

166
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: that's what this is, a political statement. There is nothing

167
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: scientific about his argument that taking masks off kids is

168
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: too risky. Right now, this is Fauci as a erect

169
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: political voice trying to give cover to the teachers unions.

170
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,479
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is exactly what Rochelle Wilinski

171
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: and the CDC are doing too. They have to be

172
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: able to look at this data they are lying to you.

173
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: The data is clear, transparent, and anybody with a functional

174
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: brain can see it. Every kid in America who is

175
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: still wearing a mask, it's because adults failed and adults

176
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: lied to them, and it is disgraceful and shameful. Otherwise,

177
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: you can just look at the data coming out or

178
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: the data that exists in Florida, which would show everybody.

179
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if anyone was really curious about this, look

180
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: at the data in the state of Florida, which has

181
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: what about twenty one million residents something like that, and

182
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: children have been under non mandatory masking for the entire

183
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: school years, stretching back to what is the end of August.

184
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: Clay kids go to school early September yep, and it's

185
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: been fine. There has not been. If there was such

186
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: greater risk, I guarantee everybody listening through this right now,

187
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: it would be blasted across CNN, The New York Times

188
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: would be doing the Aha I told you so, victory dance.

189
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: We've run the experiment. Fauci, Well, Lenski and the rest

190
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: were wrong. They were wrong. They've been wrong about every throng. Yes,

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

192
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: buck it. I mean I saw this and I wanted

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

194
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: right into our studios and say, sit your ass down

195
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: in this chair. I would love for somebody to be

196
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: able to depose doctor Fauci and just grill his ass, like,

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

198
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: every single question and not this kind of shadow situation

199
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: where you know, if you're in a congressional hearing, somebody

200
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: asked you a tough question and then they flip back

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

202
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: greatest doctor of all time. Right now, I want that

203
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: ten pot lunatic loser lying fraud to get held accountable

204
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: and I want him grilled by intelligent people. You and

205
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: I could do it. If he would sit here, and

206
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: by the time he was done, his career would be over.

207
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: If I'm not kidding, if he came in here and

208
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: spend an hour with us, his career would be over.

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

210
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: as soon as Republicans take back control. That's why you

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

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

213
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: If you hate Fauci, and I do, and I know

214
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: Buck does. Oh yes, you not only have to go

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

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

217
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: This is a time to send a message, a monster

218
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: message against the wires and the frauds like Fouch. It's

219
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: a pretty straightforward pitch for everybody out there. Vote against

220
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: the Democrat FAUCII lunatics, or you're gonna be wearing masks

221
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: on planes for at least at least another two years,

222
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: and your kids will probably be mashed up if you

223
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: live in a blue state. Next they're gonna try to

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

225
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: your point there is really good. They're gonna try probably

226
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: to take it away in advance of the mid terms,

227
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna bring it back as soon as

228
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: the midterms are over. Just no, that's why you have

229
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: to send an unbelievable message. And I'm sending you a

230
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: message right now. If you're paying too much on your mortgage,

231
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: if you haven't called my friends in American Financing and

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

233
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: out there that Biden's got, the Fed's going to be

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

235
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: And when they start raising rates, that means you're fifteen

236
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: and thirty year mortgage rates are going to go up too,

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

238
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: money for you and your family. So why not make

Speaker 1: order for us to have a uniform society and a

255
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: uniform culture. Choice is being taken away in big gult.

256
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: That is Rush Limbaugh from twenty fourteen very prescient in

257
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: terms of looking forward to where we would be today.

258
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that if Rush, we're here today, Buck,

259
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: as we roll through what feels like a never ending

260
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: democratic power grab using COVID as the excuse for everything,

261
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: it's not only in the United States, it's other countries

262
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: that we have heretofore considered to be allies. Canada has

263
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: lost its mind, Buck, I mean I look up at

264
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Canada now. We used to think of Canada as sort

265
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: of like this incredibly moderate, easygoing, you know neighbor who

266
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: never gets really that riled up and they're making us

267
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: look sane right when they're crazy. We're gonna at the

268
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: top of the next hour, we're gonna be so second

269
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: hour of the program, Clayton, are going to dive into

270
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: the latest in Canada, it really does feel like you

271
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: have two tyrants on the brink of a major in version,

272
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, a major action, Trudeau in Canada and Putin

273
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: in Russia. We're sort of sitting here wondering are they

274
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: going in And you can apply that to the situation

275
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: of the truckers in Ottawa right now? Are they going

276
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: to send in the police and the RCMP? And then

277
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: you look at Ukraine as well. Tyrants on the brin

278
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: clay two different times wild that we could end up

279
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: in a situation where we're like, hey, who is stealing

280
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: more freedom right now? Putin or Trudeau? Right Like if

281
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: you had add that debate at any point basically prior

282
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: to the last couple of years. Now, I know Trudeau,

283
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: mister blackface himself, has had all sorts of issues in

284
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: scandals associated with his leadership. But to be where they

285
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: are right now is I think the full fruition of

286
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: where left wing lunatic politics takes you if it's not checked.

287
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: Trudeau is recognizing, I think right now, that one more

288
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: wrong step and his government falls and his political epitaph

289
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: is written, and it will be that Trudeau was an incompetent,

290
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: a tyrant, and somebody just listening to him makes everyone's

291
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: testosterone on the male side drop a little bit. He's

292
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: a bad guy, a bad guy. So this is what

293
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: we're dealing with right now, and I'd love to see

294
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: more and more Canadians coming forward and supporting them. Of course,

295
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans have been supporting the trucker convoy,

296
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: and I think yesterday Clay, when the Washington Post got

297
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: caught reaching out to people making twenty dollars donations after

298
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: the gift send go hack. You sent twenty dollars to

299
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: the trucker's folks, and the Washington Post is saying, we

300
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: know who you are. Do you have any comment on this?

301
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: The comments should be a lot of things that we'd

302
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: have to bleep out on the radio. That's what the

303
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: comments should be. How about the fact that the Washington

304
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: Post went so far. I was retweeting Congresswoman Iohan Omar saying,

305
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: you know, she makes a really good boy here, and

306
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: she did I mean about the fact that the media

307
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: going after these donors was absurdly disgrace, total disgrace. Even

308
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: ilhan Omar she can be right too. It is possible

309
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: even it brought us together. So we're gonna talk. By

310
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: the way, as we said, we're paying homage today to

311
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: Rush on his one year passing. And we're gonna be

312
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: talking to Rush's widow, Catherine in just a few minutes

313
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: just about awf how she's doing a legacy of Rush,

314
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: what the audience meant to Rush. We're gonna get into

315
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: at the moment. Gold in this day and age makes

316
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: good sense. It's the way we protect the overall value

317
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: of our savings accounts. You invest some of your saved

318
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: dollars into gold, proven to hold its value in times

319
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: of inflation and uncertainties. Take action today. Inflation is eating

320
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: away at your savings. Gold is a safe haven. It's

321
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: something you can count on. Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

322
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: You can get them from the Oxford Gold Group. All

323
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: you have to do right now is dial pound two

324
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: fifty on your cell phone and say the keywords gold IRA.

325
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: Oxford Gold Group will answer all your questions. Dial pound

326
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: two fifty on your cell phone and say the keywords

327
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: gold Ira. I have to tell you, you you know, a

328
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: lot of people get duovers, a lot of people have

329
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: false starts. I had my share, got this one right,

330
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: thank God, not this one right. She has just been

331
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: a gigantic pillar of strength and does everything imaginable and

332
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: possible to keep things as upbeat and positive as they

333
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: can be. And I know it's hard on her. It's

334
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: got to be hard, it's got to be devastating of her.

335
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: But I never see that. She always hides it. She's

336
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: always put me first anyway. But in the last six

337
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: months or so, I haven't known what being put first

338
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: is until these past six months. Truly blessed by God

339
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: with her in my life. That was Rush, greatest radio

340
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: host of all time, speaking about his rock person, always

341
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: there for him, always supporting him, his wife, Catherine Limbaugh.

342
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: And we are very honored as we are paying homage

343
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: to Rush today on the one year anniversary of his passing,

344
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: to have Catherine Limbaugh joining us right now. Catherine, thank

345
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: you so much, Thank you very much. I just heard

346
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: Rush's voice there and he said that I always am

347
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: able to hide it. I'm not so sure. I'm going

348
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: to be able to hide it after that, but I

349
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: will I will try my best here. Well, we really

350
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: appreciate you being with us and everyone listening, all of

351
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: Rush's friends, really his extended family, his listeners for decades

352
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: across the country really want to hear from you. We

353
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: knew that today they would want to hear from you,

354
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: So thank you for making the time for us. And

355
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: we get so many emails from people asking, you know

356
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: EiV listeners for years. Catherine asked, first off, how are

357
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: you doing well? Thank you for asking. I'm doing as

358
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: well as can be expected. It's been a very very

359
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: challenging year, as it has been for everyone listening. We

360
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: lost an incredible hero, an incredible patriot, an American icon

361
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: that cannot be replaced in any way. So I think

362
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: it's been difficult. But I have been comforted by so

363
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: many wonderful prayers from this audience, from people all over

364
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: the world who have sent wonderful gifts and letters and prayers,

365
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: and I'm deeply, deeply grateful for that. They certainly have

366
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: helped through a very challenging time. Catherine. It's an honor

367
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: for Buck and Eye to get to sit in this

368
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: chair where we are every single day getting to hopefully

369
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: continue your husband's legacy. And I know that it's been

370
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: a difficult year for you, but you have been working

371
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: as hard as you can to help to preserve Russia's

372
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: legacy and grow it in so many fantastic ways. What

373
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: exactly are you doing and how can everyone out there

374
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: listening help that to continue to flourish? Well, thank you

375
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: so much. As I said, Rush was just an incredible pioneer,

376
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: an incredible American patriot that will never ever be forgotten.

377
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: But I wanted his legacy to continue in the best

378
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: way that we possibly can, and that is to live

379
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: out his ideals. And the best way that I can

380
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: think of is to provide scholarships to younger people who

381
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: have worked incredibly hard, who share a lot of the

382
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: same values that Rush represented. And we created a new

383
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: website it's called official Rush Limba dot com. There there's

384
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: a lot of tributes to Rush, there's information about the scholarships.

385
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: We just recently awarded the first ever Rush Limbaugh Scholarship.

386
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: It's an American Patriot scholarship, which of courses, is fitting

387
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: to an incredible young man who just represented Rush so well.

388
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: He was formerly in the military. He had been through

389
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot of challenges in his life, and he said

390
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: that he wants to carry on what Rush stood for,

391
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: and that to us just stood out, and we awarded

392
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: the first ever scholarship. We planned to award many more

393
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: throughout the upcoming year and years. We want to be

394
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: sure that Rush is always revered in the highest possible light,

395
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: that he remains America's Winston Churchill as we all know

396
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: he is, and just the incredible leader he taught us

397
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: all so much that it's up to us to carry

398
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: forward and to continue in our lives as best we

399
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: possibly can. Catherine Rush was known for his insight impressions,

400
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: certainly among his listeners, but just across the media landscape,

401
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: the conservative media landscape, everyone said, wow, Rush was he

402
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: saw it coming? Are there certain things that over the

403
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: last year or so you, just as the person who

404
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: knew him best had to say to yourself, Rush called it.

405
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: He knew it was coming, Oh, he absolutely did. He

406
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: was an incredible genius that way. He could tell us

407
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: what was going to happen in the weeks and months ahead.

408
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: I think that he very much thought that this was

409
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: how the country was probably going to go under unfortunately

410
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: Biden's presidency. He obviously very much wanted President Trump to

411
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: be in office. I know he was deeply disappointed and

412
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: upset with everything that happened in January while he was

413
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: still here to be a part of it and see it.

414
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: But he knew that the country was going to take

415
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: a turn. The policies were going to go south. We

416
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: were going to be facing harder days, he predicted and

417
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: knew that. He could tell you well in advance. The

418
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: economy was going to go down as it has. The borders,

419
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: We're going to go into a complete mess. Our strength

420
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: in the world was going to take a hit. He

421
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: would have said all of those things and more, And

422
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: the most important thing is he would have brought an

423
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: element of humor to it. He would have made us

424
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: all laugh about the fact that the car was somewhat

425
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: driving off the cliff. And now he inevitably is up

426
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: in heaven looking down and saying, please, you know, get

427
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: us back on the right course. Catherine, you've talked about

428
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: you heard Rush talk about how much you meant for him.

429
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: I think people would probably like to hear when did

430
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: you guys first meet and when did you think to

431
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: yourself this is the guy that I want to be with.

432
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously people experienced so much of him on

433
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: the radio, but his personality went far beyond what he

434
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: said on the radio every day. For people out there,

435
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: what was that experience like in your private lives and

436
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: what was that moment where you knew this is the guy? Sure?

437
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: Rush and I met almost twenty years ago. We were

438
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: first friends for several years, many years probably in his mind,

439
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: he would say an eternity because I implemented the Buddy

440
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: Rules early on, And the reason for that was because

441
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: he loved referring to the Buddy Rules and pretty much

442
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: telling everybody about it. But the reason for that was

443
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: I wanted him to get to know me, and I

444
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: wanted to get to know him without any other clouding.

445
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: So in the early days we were friends first, we

446
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: became incredible partners. I think when I first learned of Rush,

447
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: of course I heard of a lot that was said

448
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: in the mainstream media, that the negative condentation of him

449
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: or the reputation of him that was said in the

450
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: mainstream media. And as I got to know him personally,

451
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: as I got to listen to his program day in

452
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: day out, as we became such close friends. I knew

453
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: and lived with the greatest man that I could ever

454
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: have imagined. He was an incredible gentleman. He was incredibly funny.

455
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: He pushed me to be the best possible version of myself,

456
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: and I hope that I did that for him. We

457
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: would talk for a lot of time in the evening,

458
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: well after the show and when he had a few

459
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: minutes of not being involved with show prep, and we

460
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: would talk about the events of the day. I don't

461
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: think there's anyone that I will ever speak to again

462
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: that had that kind of genius to be able to

463
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: comment on everything everywhere. He had an incredible mind, as

464
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: I said before, made me laugh. I think early on

465
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: I just knew how huge a heart he had, how

466
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: generous he had, how he was just one of a kind.

467
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: And he made an incredible impression on me from the

468
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: very first day we met, and that just grew. I

469
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: actually think this final year was his best year. He

470
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: was the best version of himself. He was even stronger

471
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: than he ever had been. He was more in touch

472
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: with everything around him that mattered, namely our relationship and

473
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: his relationship with his audience, with the radio program, and

474
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: of course the country but I would say I knew

475
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: early on, but of course I didn't admit to him,

476
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: so we could implement the buddy rules for a period

477
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: of time. Catherine, we have more questions for you, if

478
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: that's all right, And really the audience has more questions

479
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: because they've been reaching out and they want us to

480
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: check in, see how you're doing, and just talk to

481
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: you more. So can you give us a few more minutes?

482
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: Can we bring you back? Of course, happy to We're

483
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: going to talk to Catherine linball Rush's wife about the

484
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: legacy of the great man himself. We are remembering him

485
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: on the one year anniversary of his passing. We're going

486
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: to come back to that in a moment. But Clay,

487
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: what have you got for us? Pure Talk? Buck, We've

488
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: told you how much we rely on their cell phone service,

489
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: but how about hearing from other Pure Talk customer. These

490
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: are the words of David from New York. I was

491
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: very hesitant about changing from Verizon to Pure Talk, but

492
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: I was shocked to learn the exact same plan I

493
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: had with Verizon for one hundred and seventy dollars cost

494
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: forty nine dollars with Pure Talk. Next concern was how

495
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: difficult it would be to make the change, but it

496
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: was simple. Verizon quickly gave him the code number without

497
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: trying to talk him out of it. I now enjoy

498
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: This is according to David from New York, the same plan.

499
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: But I'm saving one hundred and twenty dollars a month.

505
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: He was a man who had tremendous courage, and he

506
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: had tremendous principle and to be believed in something he

507
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: talked about it, and who had an audience like him.

508
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We are

509
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: talking with Russia's wife Katherine Limbaugh, and you just heard

510
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: former President Donald Trump forty five himself. We are going

511
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: to be live at Mara Lago on Tuesday. Katherine, I

512
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: think that probably cues up a good opportunity here. What

513
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: was Russia's relationship like with President Trump and what did

514
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: it mean for President Trump to honor him at the

515
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: State of the Union like he did. You know, I

516
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: see a lot of similarities between President Trump and Rush.

517
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: They both didn't need to do it. They both had

518
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: lives that in Russia's case, he could retire or President

519
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: Trump could retire and continue in the business that he

520
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: was in. But they both saw a larger purpose and

521
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: a greater purpose, and they were willing to take arrows

522
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: on behalf of the American people. And I think that

523
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: they had a very unique bond in that way because

524
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: they understood each other very well. They both knew that

525
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: they were at the tip of the spear in many ways.

526
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: They both knew that they had to take the slanders

527
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: and the arrows that were thrown at them in order

528
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: to achieve the higher purpose. President Trump, off of camera

529
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: and not as widely known, he was so incredibly thoughtful

530
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: throughout Rush's entire illness. He would call probably more than anyone,

531
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: including personal family, to check on Rush. In the evening

532
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: after giving a speech somewhere, he would call Rush just

533
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: to ask how he was doing. He wasn't looking for

534
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: feedback on the country, he wasn't looking to see how

535
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: he had done on a particular policy. He was just

536
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: checking in on Rush, and I think in many respects

537
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: they were peers in that regard. I hold President Trump

538
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: in the highest regard for the honor that he bestowed

539
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: on Rush. That Medal of Freedom presentation was second to none.

540
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: Rush was one hundred percent speechless and touched. He was

541
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: deeply honored. I said earlier that into someone earlier, that

542
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: that was a chance for Rush to see how many

543
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: people cared for him. To be honored in such a

544
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: way so globally by President Trump meant everything to us,

545
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: and it's something that I will never forget in all

546
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: my life. Katherine, you were a driving force behind the

547
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: widely you claimed Rush Revere children's book series. Are you

548
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: hearing from young folks eager for you to continue with

549
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: at it? And also do you have any advice for

550
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: that next generation of young up and coming conservatives. Yes,

551
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: we hear young Rush Revere readers all the time, and

552
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: it's really a highlight of our days to hear from

553
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: young patriots all over the country. But we have five

554
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: books right now, we are thinking about working on book six.

555
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: We're going to have to think about where Rush Revere

556
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: is going to time travel too. But there's a lot

557
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: of topics going on right now, So I'm sure there's

558
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 1: certainly something that we could talk about in current events

559
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: or in history. But the Rush Revere series came about

560
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: because we wanted to make American history fun and engaging

561
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: for the younger demographic. Rush had such an incredible ability

562
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: to speak to people one on one and break down

563
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: very complex issues. We wanted that to translate into books

564
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: for children or young readers. It was really for the

565
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: fifth grade reading level, but we hear from people of

566
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: much younger age and much older. But we wanted to

567
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: make American history fun. Through the magic of time travel.

568
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Rush Revere and his favorite sidekick, horse Liberty, who is

569
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: a talking horse, would time travel back to key events

570
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: in American history, whether it be the Mayflower or the

571
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: Boston Tea Party or what have you, and they would

572
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: engage with that particular event. They would talk to incredible

573
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: patriots like George Washington. They became a part of history,

574
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: and in that way it made American history very fun. So, yes,

575
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: we hear from young readers all over the country all

576
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: of the time. We definitely want to continue if we can,

577
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: and probably will be working on book six here in

578
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: the near future. Catherine, we get a lot of questions

579
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: from long time listeners about your animals. We know you

580
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: had three dogs and a cat. How are they doing? Yeah, yes,

581
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: this is a very very important question, because yeah it's

582
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: s top top importance. But but they're they're wonderful, truly

583
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: there there are children in many respects. So we had

584
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: four old English sheep dogs and we had a cat,

585
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: an Abyssinian cat. Unfortunately, two of our our sheep dogs

586
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: passed away unfortunately this year, and they joined Rush. But

587
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: we since have gotten a new little sheepadoodle Um actually

588
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: named Winston. So all of our dogs have very prominent

589
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: names in history, because we thought it was kind of

590
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: funny just to call out to Winston, for example, and

591
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: have him come running. Um. But they're all doing very well.

592
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Rush loved loved his cat Alley, probably more than anything

593
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: next to the radio and perhaps family, But he loved

594
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: this little cat and she completely had him wrapped around

595
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: her finger. Um. But they're all they're all doing doing well.

596
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: And of course we we all miss Rush, and she

597
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: certainly misses Rush a lot. Catherine, what do you think

598
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: Rush would want Buck and Eye to know? Last Mond

599
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: minute for your advice for us going forward? What would

600
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: he want us to know and thank you for spending

601
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: the time with us. I think he would just want

602
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: you to do what you're doing in terms of continuing

603
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: conservative thought, continuing to have people live their best lives,

604
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: to remain engaged, to continue to say how important the

605
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: United States is, how important our founding fathers are. I

606
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: think he would want you to have people actively engaged

607
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: in politics, to remember November that's coming up here soon,

608
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: to remember twenty twenty four, and to call them out

609
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: on things that need to be called out. And I

610
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: know that you're trying to do that and carry on

611
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: in Russia's honor, and that's deeply appreciated. Catherine, Thank you

612
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: so much for the time with us. We appreciated, and

613
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: we know that Rush listeners across the country sending love

614
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: and hugs to you. Thank you so much. Slay Travis

615
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth
