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 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. One year ago today, millions of Americans 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: faithfully tuned into the Rush Limboss Show as they did 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: any other day for more than thirty years. To their surprise, 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: they heard the voice of his beloved wife Kats instead 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: of Russ himself. In the years since, though not much 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: has actually changed the world, somehow still feels different without him. 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: But through the speakers of radios around the country, though 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: the golden EIB microphones sits silent, the memory and voice 10 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: of our friend, companion and radio's greatest of all time 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: is still with us and always will be. Over the years, 12 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people have been very nice telling me 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: how much this program is meant to them. But whatever 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: that is, it pales in comparison to what you all 15 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: have met to me. All have met to me. The 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: official program observer James Golden, also known as bo Snerdley. 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: It has been a year since RUSSI Lamball left his 18 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: role as the Doctor of Democracy, America's innchorman, and became 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: an immortal, And during that year I've heard almost every 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: single day from somebody in his vast audience with stories 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: about how much he meant to them, how he impacted 22 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: their lives, and how much they miss him, how much 23 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: they miss his insights, how much they miss his humor, 24 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: just how much they miss Rush. We all miss Rush. 25 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: But you know something, Rush left us with a legacy 26 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: that is unequaled. He changed American media, He changed the 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: way that Americans think and Russ Lamball enjoying your eternal life. 28 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: You will never ever be forgotten. God bless you Rush. 29 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: Frequent guest toast daught Her. Anytime you turn on a 30 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: radio station and you hear an opinion based show, you 31 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: will be hearing the legacy of Rush Limbaugh. Opinion radio 32 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't have survived without Rush. It simply wouldn't have. There 33 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: are people who understand their country now, children who will 34 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: read Russia's books. That's his legacy. And in the last 35 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: few months of his life he shared with us his faith, 36 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: his status as a christ fallower, and of course that's 37 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: hisn't during legacy. Long time guest host Mark Steyn. The 38 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: first time I was asked a guest host for Rush, 39 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: I happened to be down in Australia and then Prime 40 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: Minister John Howard asked me to some event and I said, 41 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: I'd love to go, but I had to get back 42 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: to America to guest host the Rush Limbull Show. And 43 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: the PM said, oh, I hear that's a pretty big 44 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: show and I said, yeah, thirty million listeners and he said, crikey, 45 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: Rush has more listeners than we have Australians. And that's true. 46 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: If rush Land were country, it would be a pretty 47 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: big one, bigger than Australia, four times the size of Switzerland, 48 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: six times the size of New Zealand. And it would 49 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: be a well governed country where people could live their 50 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: lives to their fullest potential, as Rush did and as 51 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: he wanted everyone else to be able to do. A 52 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: country where children know their history as opposed to knowing 53 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: nothing but being taught to despise it all anyway, And 54 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: most of all, it would be a country with a 55 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: lot of laughs, because Rush took politics seriously but not solemnly, 56 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: which is how he came to have more listeners than 57 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: Australia has. Australians. Joe Biden will always be plugs to me. 58 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: Even though all the plugs seemed to have fallen out. 59 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: Rush was totally secure and he expected the guest hosts 60 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: to be too. He would put us down mercilessly. If 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: a listener asked why there was no ditto cam on 62 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: guest host days, he would explain that it was because 63 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: of our woeful physical appearance, etc. One day in that 64 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: last year, I said something on air sincere and heartfelt 65 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: and true about Rush, and Catherine passed it on to him, 66 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: and on his next show, he said how touched and 67 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: moved he'd been by it. And I was horrified because 68 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: the old Rush would never have done that. And I 69 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: said I wanted him to return to scoffing at the 70 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: guest host and that made him laugh, and he said 71 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: he'd go back to putting us down again. Alas that 72 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: was not to be. It was one of the great 73 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: privileges of my life to be put down by Rush, 74 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: and I only wish he were here to do it today. 75 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: Thank you Rush for everything. Rush's brother, David Limbaugh, I'll 76 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: tell you what has kind of surprised me. I always 77 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: new I'm as Rush's biggest supporter, and I knew he 78 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: was loved, but I had no idea until after he died, 79 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: the depth, the actual intimacy that people felt. I mean, 80 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: so many people have expressed to me that they feel profound, 81 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,239 Speaker 1: deep personal loss and that they lost the best friend 82 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: they never had, their surrogate brother or father figure. They 83 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: felt like he was such a good friend, such a 84 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: close confidant, and that has been really touching to me 85 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: because his big love, besides his wife and his family 86 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: and his friends, was his audience. I would bet a 87 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: day doesn't go by where at least three to five 88 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: times a day I think of sharing something with Rush 89 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: without realizing in that nanosecond that he's no longer here. 90 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: When I would talk to Rush, I didn't talk to 91 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: him as a talk show host. I didn't put him 92 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: on a pedestal. I mean, he was my brother, although 93 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: I have to say I did really look up to him, 94 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: and I marveled at his talent. When the mic went on, 95 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: he went into another world, another level. He was uniquely talented, 96 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: and I'm just proud to be his brother and proud 97 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: to see that he did everything he could with his 98 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: God given talent. And more. While Russia's work on Earth 99 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: is finished, may he rest in peace, knowing his legacy 100 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: and the lessons he taught over more than thirty years 101 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 1: of excellence in broadcasting. We'll keep on doing the work 102 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: for him for generations to come. Greatest of all time, 103 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: Clay honored to even be able to sit here and 104 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: speak to his audience in the house that he built. 105 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: We're all going to miss him, no doubt, and that 106 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: was a fantastic tribute from so many different people. You 107 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: just heard. If you're just getting in your car right now. 108 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: The one year anniversary of Russian Limbaugh's passing, we had 109 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: his wife Catherine on with us in the first hour. 110 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: She was absolutely fantastic. If you miss that, I would 111 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: encourage you to go listen to it on the podcast. 112 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: And then we had Sean Hannity, a guy that many 113 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: of you will be listening to after this show and 114 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: or watching as well on Fox News tonight, talking about 115 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: the legacy of Russian Limbaugh in his mind, in his 116 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: experience with Rush as well, and certainly every single day 117 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: that Buck and I get to sit down and do 118 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: this show, it's done in the honor and the legacy 119 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: of what Rush accomplished as the greatest and most influential 120 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: voice in the history of radio. And we just hope 121 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: that we can continue to fight the battles that he'd 122 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: be fighting if he was still with us today. There's 123 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: a lot more of our honoring of Rush that you 124 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: can read and here atclaanbuck dot com.

For a long time people 173 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: went America, they would look to Canada and they would 174 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: think to themselves, why can't we be more like Canada? Right? 175 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: Relatively calm? There are people politically anyway. Never really seemed 176 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: like the temperature got that high, never really seemed like 177 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: they got that fired up at each other. There was 178 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: just kind of a moderate normalcy everything, okay. A that 179 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: would come from Canada. And I remember hearing that the 180 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: analogy somebody made is like America was like, you know, 181 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 1: trying to make meth in an apartment, and the Canadians 182 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: who lived above us were like, what's going on downstairs 183 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: all the time. Right. If you've ever lived in an 184 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: apartment or a condo and had a crazy lower level 185 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: or upper level neighbor, you know how that can be. 186 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: Canada was the calm ones. They were in bed early hours, 187 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: they were easy going. You never really paid much attention 188 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: to them. And I don't think we can understate how 189 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: crazy Canada is right now, buck. I just saw Ottawa 190 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: put out the City of Ottawa did a statement letting 191 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: it be known that if you were with the protesters 192 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: and you had an animal, and you were arrested after 193 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: eight days, you would relinquish possession of your animal and 194 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: it would be either taken by someone else or on 195 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: the pathway towards that animal being an estasized, rightuthanized euthanized. 196 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: That is pretty crazy that we would be talking about that. 197 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: And while we were on the we have now one 198 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: of the top officials in Canada officially announcing that if 199 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: you donated money to the Canadian truckers, they have begun 200 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: the process of freezing the bank accounts, the bank accounts 201 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: of people who made those donations. The names of both 202 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: individuals and entities, as well as crypto wallets have been 203 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: shared by the RCMP with financial institutions and accounts have 204 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: been frozen, and more accounts will be frozen. In terms 205 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: of the specifics on whose accounts are being frozen, you 206 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: now have the regulations. The financial service providers have those 207 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: regulations as well, and they, working with law enforcement, will 208 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: be making the operational decisions. Can I just say, Clay, 209 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: because I worked in some domestic counter terrorism operations as 210 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: well as before that in the CIA. Obviously, terrorism finance 211 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: is something that the US Treasury Department, the Intel community 212 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: looks at. They're effectively in Canada treating the truckers as 213 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: a domestic terror organization, and in fact, if anything, they're 214 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: being even more aggressive than we would in this country 215 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: in dealing with insurgencies and terrorism abroad. When it comes 216 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: to they're not even taking this to a court. There's 217 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: no court order. They're just they're freezing accounts that they 218 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: think might have donated money to truckers. On what basis 219 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: are all the truckers breaking laws? What laws are they breaking? 220 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: Is it terrorism they're engaged in or protests? The fact 221 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: that the media in this country does not get up 222 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: in arms about this proves beyond any doubt as if 223 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: there was any doubt these people are toadies for those 224 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: in power. They don't care about freedom, free speech, or protest. Yes, 225 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: and you talked about, and we talked about on this program. 226 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: If you're saying, Okay, well I don't really care what's 227 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: going on about the Canadian truckers right now, well, first 228 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: of all, I think you should care, like I think 229 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: this whole audience does care to be I hope that 230 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: they do. But every now and then, Buck and we 231 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: talk about something international, I'll get an email or something 232 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: they'll be like, you should talk about what's going on 233 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: in America more. And I'm like, okay, well, I understand that, 234 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: but what goes on in the world also impacts America 235 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: in a big way, right, So the Canadian truckers, you 236 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: should care. If you don't, you should and listen to 237 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: me in this analogy, and I think you'll understand it. 238 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: And it's one of the analogies we're making. Imagine during 239 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty twenty, when all of those mostly 240 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:46,359 Speaker 1: peaceful protesters, said obviously sarcastically, are burning down police precincts, 241 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: They're rioting, they're looting, they're pillaging all over this country, 242 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: happening everywhere. Imagine if Donald Trump had said, as Kamala 243 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: Harris remember now our vice president then the senator from California, 244 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: said hey, we're going to raise money to immediately bail 245 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: everybody out who is arrested during the BLM protest. Imagine 246 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump and there were go fund means like crazy. 247 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: They ended up raising over one hundred million dollars. They 248 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: don't know where that money went, by the way, but 249 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: they did raise over one hundred million dollars. Imagine if 250 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had said, we're expanding our definition of terrorism, 251 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm declaring martial law, and every single person who donated 252 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: money to Black Lives Matter is going to be in 253 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: danger of having their bank account shut down. Imagine what 254 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: the media in the United States would have said and done. 255 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: That's what's happening right now in Canada, and most people 256 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: in Canada are acquiescing to it, and most media in 257 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: America aren't even paying attention to this. And this is 258 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: why precedents matter, because imagine if Trump had done the 259 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: same Clay and we could even we could even expand 260 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: it a little more if you had and the analogy 261 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: is very at but if if you had Russia, Russia 262 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: Putin right, we're all supposed to be so scared. And 263 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: by the way, there's been some artillery shelling in areas 264 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: on the Ukraine Russia border, and now they're talking about 265 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: it possible. I mean, I can't even we're following this closely, folks. 266 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they're talking about possible Putin chemical weapon threat, 267 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: false flag on the Daily Mail. I mean, it's it's 268 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: just the reporting is all conflicting. It's all a mess. 269 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: We're watching this. But imagine for a moment, the international 270 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: media as well as the American media's response. If the 271 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: most well known critic of the Kremlin is Alexi Navalni 272 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: in Russia. He might have heard of him before, folks. 273 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: You know. He imagined for a moment if a Russian 274 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: opposition if the Russian opposition Putin announced that I'm freezing 275 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: all bank accounts of anyone who donates to any political 276 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: party in it now. Has Putin already done that or 277 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: something probably, but they would all they would all say 278 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: that is tyranny, universally condemnic, and they would be correct. 279 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: What they're doing in Canada is tyranny, folks. And that's 280 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: not an overstatement. It's not. They are strangling democracy while 281 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: pretending to protect it. That's what's happening right now in Canada. 282 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: Trudeau has got to go. This is now an issue 283 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: for the entire Western world. Trudeau's government must fall. These 284 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: truckers are striking a huge blow for freedom. They just 285 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: need to hold the line. Make no mistake. By the way, 286 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden would like to be able to do this. 287 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: Left wingers in this country would like to enable the 288 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: president to be able to do this for donations that 289 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: are made to protest that they don't support. It's so 290 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: funny you bring that up, Clay, because there was just 291 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: an announcement the FBI is forming a National Cryptocurrency Unit 292 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: focused on the seizure of assets like bitcoin that just 293 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: broke while we were on air. Almost like they want 294 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: to make sure they could cut off funds to people 295 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: that are like in this country. No doubt, they're not 296 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: going to let you hide funds. This audience, by the way, 297 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: knows what tunnel of the Towers does. They've been supporting 298 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: America's heroes and their family since nine eleven.

Help these heroes and their families 309 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: join Tunneled Towers on its mission to do good in 310 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: their honor. Donate eleven dollars a month. That t twot 311 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: dot org. That's t the number two t dot org. 312 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: He's a trojan horst, He's a figurehead that he's a placeholder. 313 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden doesn't know where he is half the time. 314 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: He literally has debilitating mental acuity issues. How high is 315 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: the trying rusting the thing right now? It's very high, right, 316 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: very because they have not they have not moved to 317 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: tending their church out. They moved work through pain number one. 318 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: Number two. They have reason to believe that they are 319 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: tending the gigs in a false flag operation to have 320 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: an excuse to go in every indication we have, they're 321 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: prepared to go into the train attack the train number one, 322 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: number two. I've been waiting for response to prudent for 323 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: my runner. That my response to him they've come to 324 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: that mock them to see their fact in the war, 325 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: fact in the very dependent there. I have not ready yet. 326 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: I cannot coming on. Welcome back to Clay and Buck. 327 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: You heard they are the words of Rush about Biden 328 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: that he has mental acuity issues. Absolutely true. And then 329 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: you're hearing today the commander in chief who is weighing 330 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: in on the issue of whether there's going to be 331 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: a war in Ukraine, a major Russian invasion, and the 332 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: it feels like every twelve hours play on this issue. 333 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: It feels like the momentum shifts. Their troops are moving away, 334 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: diplomacy's working, Putin's actually been shelling, and things are getting 335 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: more you know, things are getting more tense. Oh, it 336 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: looks like the diplomatic path is bearing fruit. Oh, I 337 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: mean this, it's remarkable. We've never really seen It's your point. 338 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: You may before sometimes there have been deadlines, you know, 339 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: handover to the Taliban handover been lad and we're coming. 340 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't hand him over, and you know they 341 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: got what they deserve. Saddam, you know, leave or we're 342 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: coming in. But I've I can't remember a time where 343 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: we've seen this level of invasion is imminent. Actually it's not. 344 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: Invasion is any second Actually we don't think so. It's 345 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: it's bizarre. Yeah. And when you do game theory, which 346 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: I know you guys in the CIA did all that 347 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: a lot. The CI nerds love their game theory. I 348 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: like game theory too. I mean, I think it's an 349 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: awful lot of fun. And for people out there who 350 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: haven't engaged in it, you sit around and try to 351 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: consider the most likely outcomes, what is going to happen. 352 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: It's sort of like chess in the mind associated and 353 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: Buck the thing I keep coming back to that doesn't 354 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: really make any sense to me. From the Russian perspective, 355 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: I still don't understand what Putin is gaining or losing 356 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: other than the psychological homeland related factors of Mother Russia 357 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: needs to be powerful, and he's trying to appeal to 358 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: that Russian ego. Based on everything kind of going into 359 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: the toilet for lack of a better way to describe 360 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: it in the post Cold War era, and so if 361 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: he were on the edge of Ukraine and there was 362 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: something where I could say, Okay, he's clearly negotiating for this, 363 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: But it seems to me like the only real benefit 364 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: is that Russian psychological approval of expanding the homeland and 365 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: the belief that Ukraine is a part of Russia. And 366 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't do you know what I mean? Like I 367 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: it's not a rational behavior that he seems to be 368 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: engaged in, which is why trying to strategize his motivations 369 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: and movements is so difficult to predict. You have to 370 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: think about it from a Russian perspective. What's fascinating is 371 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: we don't even You should always know what your opponents 372 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: really think. You know, in this country, I think it 373 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: took a while for people to realize that there were 374 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: jihadists in let's say Iraq who would reference battles that 375 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: had occurred or referenced the battles that had occurred in 376 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: the eighth century or the Balfour Declaration at the beginning 377 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: of the twentieth century. They'd reference things that people say, wait, 378 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: what they're doing this because of that. You know, there's 379 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: there's Sunni Shia bloodshed in southern Baghdad because of what 380 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: happened over a thousand years. The answer was yes, at 381 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: least that was the mentality. In some cases that was 382 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: part of And in Russia you have remember Putin has 383 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: presided over the creation of a Russian middle class that 384 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: did not exist before. In fact, Russia was at the 385 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: fall of the Soviet Union. The Russian people were humiliated. 386 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: Now the creation of that middle class is really just 387 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: the result of the fall of the Soviet system, and 388 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: it's most and and and of course then they did 389 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: they divvied up state resources. But they do have a 390 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: lot of fossil fuels, and you know Russia does have it. 391 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: It's very rich and natural resources. So Putin does have 392 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: a baseline of of support within his own country. And 393 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: for a lot of those people, the Russian psyche is 394 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: they've been humiliated and they feel like they have this 395 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: whole NATO alliance. That's now again, I'm not trying to 396 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: say this in any way to you know, say what 397 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: what Putin's doing would be justified or make any sense, 398 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: but to mirror image their mentality at least the people 399 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: who support Putin and around him. They're saying, why should 400 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: our country have been? You know, I'm sure you can 401 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: get a Russian to say, imagine if someone had just 402 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: taken California from you Americans, wouldn't you want it back? Now, 403 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: we could say that's crazy and everything else. But there 404 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: is you know, irredentism is the phrase, right this or 405 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: the word. There is this desire for the regaining of 406 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: lost territory and lost prestige, which to us may not 407 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: make a lot of sense, of course, but in their 408 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, with their historical sense, it's quite it's quite different. 409 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: So that's the only thing I believe you can point 410 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: to here. That and the resources. Ukraine is pretty mineral rich. 411 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: There's there's coal, there's there's a natural gas. There is 412 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: stuff beyond just the narrative of Kremlin and Putin glory here. 413 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: So you add that all together, Clay. If they think 414 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: they can they can steamroll Ukrainian military in a couple 415 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: of weeks with less than ten thousand casualties and flip 416 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: this government and control the country. They think that's a win. 417 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I think traveling is so interesting. 418 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: I love to travel, but it brings home how young 419 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: our country is. I mean, let's say you can go 420 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: to many countries in the world, certainly in Europe, and 421 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: you can walk into Let's use London for an example. 422 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: I went on a great London pub tour of all 423 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: these old English pubs. Buck. There are many, just in 424 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: London by itself, many English pubs that are older than 425 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: our country. And so the reason why I think that's 426 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: so utterly fascinating they've been serving beer there longer than 427 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: the United States has existed as a country. And our 428 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: goldfish like memory, right, very often you look at America, 429 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: it's so focused on the future. There's very little of 430 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: a recall, and there's a great deal of historical illiteracy. 431 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: But to your point, on many of these other countries 432 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: with long storied histories, there is so much enmity wrapped 433 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: up in all of that discord and everything else, and 434 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: we're seeing it a little bit here. Right. The sixteen 435 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: nineteen project is rooted in the idea that America at 436 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: inception was evil and its original sin of slavery desire 437 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: to justifies destroying basically all of the fabric and positive 438 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: things that have been created in American democracy. That's relatively rare. 439 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: However in this country compared to another's. You know, we 440 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: really have two tyrants on the brink right now. Yes, 441 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: Suton is he going into Ukraine as he sending the 442 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: Russian military and then Trudeau is he sending in the 443 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: RCMP or the Ottawa police to break the peaceful protest 444 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: in Ottawa. Clay, we need to play for everybody before 445 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: we look. We've had a busy day to day, obviously 446 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: a lot of news, but also having to hey, our 447 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: due respects to Rush and we appreciate all the voices, 448 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: all the guests who shared their remembrance of Rush with 449 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: all of us. When would come back late, we got 450 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: to get to this Canadian Justice minister crazy because if 451 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: you think this doesn't affect you, just understand the Canadian 452 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: tyrants hate Trump voters too, Okay, that Canadians are angry 453 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: at Americans who support Trump. And that's going to come 454 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: across from the equivalent of the Canadian Attorney General when 455 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: we come back, no doubt. In the meantime, lots of 456 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: you out there right now, maybe you need a little 457 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: bit of a pick me up getting into the afternoon 458 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: on the East coast coming up on noon on the 459 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: West Coast and best possible pick me up out there. 460 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: How about Black Rifle Coffee.

In 482 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: the first hour, Catherine Limbaugh, to Russia's wife, joined us 483 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: and talked about her experiences in the one year since 484 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: he has passed. We also talked with Sean Hannity. We 485 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: have interspersed throughout the course of the program many different 486 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: elements of Russia's takes and of the legacy of this show. 487 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: Encourage you to go subscribe to the podcast if you 488 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: missed any of that. As we know many of you 489 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: out there are long time Rush listeners and are joining 490 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: us today in mourning his passing. One year since it happened. Now, 491 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: the battles that Rush so often fight, as you well know, 492 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: have not only continued in many ways, they have accelerated. 493 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 1: And there's no better example of that right now than 494 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: what's going on in Canada, where the effective this is 495 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: basically the Attorney General of Canada, right Buck came out 496 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: and said, if you are a Donald Trump su order, 497 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: you could have your bank account seized. I can't believe 498 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: he said the quiet part out loud. But this is 499 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: where we are right now in Canada. Listen to this. 500 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: A lot of folks this, look, I just don't like 501 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: your vaccine mandates and I donated to this. Now it's illegal. 502 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 1: Should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account? 503 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: What's your answer to that? Well, if I think if 504 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,719 Speaker 1: you if you are a member, you know, a pro 505 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: Trump movement who's donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and 506 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to this kind of thing, then if 507 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: you're a member of a pro Trump movement, this is 508 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: the Canadian equivalent of the attorney general. Folks, their top 509 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: law enforcement officer. The truckers, all right, I'm sure some 510 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: of the truckers like Trump. That's the truckers want the 511 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: mandates to end. What's amazing is to see that the 512 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: Canadian authorities won't even speak honestly about what the dispute is. 513 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: It's as though people were striking for higher wages, and 514 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: they keep saying, look at these climate change protesters, like, no, 515 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: that's not what's happening here. What the fact clay that 516 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: he would then say, if you're a pro trumper, you 517 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: should be worried we may seize your seize your bank account. 518 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: Think about that would do to people. I mean, we 519 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: already have the Washington Post going after folks that donated 520 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: twenty dollars. So you donate twenty or fifty bucks or something, 521 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: Canadian government may decide to seize your bank account. That 522 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: means no more trips to the grocery store, folks, That 523 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: means no rent payments. Yeah, and we need to build 524 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: on this tomorrow as well, Buck, because we talk about 525 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: the power of big tech all the time, and big tech, 526 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: like big media, their power is and how they decide 527 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: to apply the rules that they seek, that they seek 528 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: to allow to become a trending topic or a big story. 529 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: Let me give you an example. Twitter, as many of 530 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: you out there will remember, would not allow the story 531 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: from the New York Post about Hunter Biden to be shared. 532 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: They would not allow it to be shared on social media. 533 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: Of course, the Hunter Biden laptop is one it appears 534 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: authentic and it is a part of this investigation. Among 535 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: many other different angles. I saw where Hunter Biden's baby 536 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: mama testified in front of a grand jury. They believe 537 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: London I believe is their name London spelled with an e. 538 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: Num was the one that he initially denied having had 539 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: the relations with, and I believe she was was this 540 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: is that? Am I getting this right? Is this? There's 541 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: so many different sorted Hunter Biden. I'm not even sure. 542 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Okay, I don't want to get the 543 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: ones the lady. I want to get the moms and 544 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: the baby mama confused with the side chick with the escorts. 545 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, it's hard to keep tacked 546 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: tabs on all the different directions that Hunter Biden's life 547 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: has spiraled out of control. But point is, the laptop 548 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: was accurate. But you'll remember that Twitter said we can't 549 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: allow this to be shared because they argued that it 550 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: was hacked. There were hacked materials. They're allowing every single 551 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: person who donated twenty dollars to the Canadian truckers off 552 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: of a hacked website, They're allowing that to be distributed 553 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: widely all throughout Twitter. So Buck, it's not only people 554 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: in positions of power in Canada, it's our big tech 555 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: oligarchs who are making decisions. I mean, I would love 556 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: to get somebody from Twitter on this program and have 557 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: them explain. First of all, I don't think they were 558 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: right to ban the Hunter Biden's story. But if you 559 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: are going to argue the reason why we could not 560 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: allow that story to take place was because we believe 561 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: that was stolen information, it was hacked, whatever excuse they 562 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: want to use, we know beyond a shadow of a 563 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: doubt that all of these people who donated to the 564 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: Canadian Truckers their information was hacked. That was stolen. That's 565 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: not public info, and Twitter is allowing it to trend 566 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: and be shared widely, and then these people are being 567 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: harassed over a twenty dollars donation plan. It's not true 568 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: to say that the left has no principles. They have 569 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: one principle, the will to power, and everything else gets 570 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: pushed aside for that. You see this, whether we're talking 571 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: about the social media companies and the alleged standards that 572 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: they have, the way that these other companies that are 573 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: platforms supposedly to raise funds for people always Oh what 574 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: was it? The law defying els was suspended by Twitter. 575 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: This is a well known Twitter account accidentally, Yeah, sure, 576 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: and now the Trudeau regime engaged in outright tyranny. If 577 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had done what Justin Trudeaux just did, you 578 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: would have libs marching in the streets, tears streaming down 579 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: their faces, saying that America is done, not that it's 580 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: coming to a close, that it is over. So let's 581 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: all just be clear about the fact that they have 582 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: no principles other than whatever puts them or keeps them 583 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: in power, and everything else secondary at best to that. 584 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: We want to talk to Stephen rolling North Carolina for 585 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: second hear we wanted to wanted to share some with 586 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: us easily listening to Rush for how long?

It said Rush Bus and I 591 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: had no idea what that was, but I decided to 592 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: eat my lunch, and that's how I got introduced to 593 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: the great Maha Rushi.

If she 609 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 1: wants to wear a mask while she's taking a shower, 610 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: doing the groceries, riding a bus, which you guys point 611 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: out probably she never does, she's free to wear that mask. 612 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: She made the argument for everybody else that's saying I 613 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: just don't want to wear one.
