00:00:00.000 We have, our sponsor this half hour is Bilt Bar.
00:00:03.320 Now, my wife was the, functionally, the person who brought Bilt Bar to America.
00:00:10.240 That's how I think about it.
00:00:11.480 Really?
00:00:11.900 Yeah.
00:00:12.160 You know, they actually have a mural of my wife at the Bilt Bar headquarters because
00:00:16.900 she's talked about it on Instagram so much.
00:00:20.980 And I bet that's how my wife found Bilt Bar.
00:00:24.240 I think it was originally, but she's the one that turned you onto it.
00:00:27.700 And of course, you didn't listen because you're you.
00:00:30.060 And they said it was the word healthy wasn't was included, unfortunately, in the initial
00:00:34.080 pitch.
00:00:34.740 Yeah, it's a huge mistake.
00:00:36.360 You're like, why would you call them healthy?
00:00:37.860 Yeah, it works with my wife's audience, but not really with you with me.
00:00:41.180 But it has real chocolate and a zillion different flavors.
00:00:44.480 They just had another one that showed up.
00:00:46.160 They had a new wafer bar or something that showed up at least at the house yesterday.
00:00:49.820 Okay, I'm a little pissed that she's getting all of these special deals and I don't get
00:00:54.200 them.
00:00:54.640 I don't get them until everybody gets them.
00:00:56.720 I'm a little upset.

00:01:39.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:50.420 Today, memories of Rush in 60 seconds.
00:01:56.560 All right.
00:02:02.860 Let me tell you about rough greens, rough greens.
00:02:04.940 You know, but my dog, Uno is my best friend.
00:02:09.160 I just love him.
00:02:10.080 And yes, he slobbers.
00:02:12.600 He found a he found one of the guys who are working on the house left a bag of like those,
00:02:18.840 you know, donuts you get like at 7-Eleven that are in the bag.
00:02:24.300 They come prepackaged.
00:02:25.540 They were so hard.
00:02:26.920 He was eating them and they were crunching.
00:02:28.720 I thought he was eating some giant pretzel.
00:02:31.220 And I'm like, what are you?
00:02:32.820 What are you doing?
00:02:34.220 What are you eating?
00:02:35.100 It was a bag of really old donuts that somebody had left from the construction crew.
00:02:41.200 So, you know, I love him.
00:02:43.680 He's got my kind of eating habits that, you know, when you find a bag of old donuts, you're like, I don't know.
00:02:49.720 They still look kind of good.
00:02:51.800 But I give him rough greens now.
00:02:53.340 Now, I haven't changed his dog food.
00:02:55.300 I still feed him the same stuff that I've been feeding him.
00:02:58.880 However, we add rough greens to it.
00:03:01.820 And that's because it has all of the vitamins, minerals, and the probiotics that he needs for a great and healthy life.
00:03:08.260 And he has changed as a dog.
00:03:11.120 We started feeding him, I don't know, eight months ago.
00:03:13.360 And he really has changed.
00:03:15.440 You're going to love the change you see.
00:03:17.940 Get a bag of rough greens now for your dog to try out.
00:03:20.400 Now, it's free.
00:03:21.840 It's absolutely free.
00:03:24.000 You just pay for the shipping.
00:03:25.840 They know that once you start to see the changes in your dog, they know you're going to continue with rough greens.
00:03:33.240 So, yeah, it is a little ploy.
00:03:35.300 Give away a bag for free.
00:03:37.200 Make sure that they eat it.
00:03:38.980 And then when you order your first bag, you're two months into it probably.
00:03:43.460 And you're going to start seeing the difference in your dog.
00:03:46.300 Six months into it.
00:03:47.260 It's amazing.
00:03:48.640 Rough greens.
00:03:49.160 833-GLEN-33.
00:03:51.520 833-GLEN-33.
00:03:53.140 It's like eight bucks for shipping for the bag.
00:03:55.500 You just pay for the shipping.
00:03:57.200 Rough greens.
00:03:57.840 The first one's on them.
00:03:59.700 Bag, a free bag of rough greens for your dog to try out at roughgreens.com slash Beck.
00:04:06.120 Rush Limbaugh and I have had one thing in common.
00:04:19.600 One thing in common.
00:04:20.640 And that is, every show, Rush didn't know what his first words were going to be.
00:04:28.700 You could ask him right before he went on the air and he'd prepare for hours, five or six hours the night before, four hours before every program in the morning.
00:04:41.660 And by noon Eastern time, he had his, what he called stacks of stuff arranged in front of him in columns.
00:04:49.280 He could see the subject matter on everything he had and he could look at it.
00:04:56.260 He would grab it.
00:04:57.300 And early on, before Rush Limbaugh was, Rush Limbaugh, people would come in and say, okay, Rush, what are you going to talk about today?
00:05:06.980 What do you, you know, what's the most important thing you're going to talk about today?
00:05:10.120 What is it?
00:05:10.600 And he'd always respond, I don't know.
00:05:13.600 I can't tell you.
00:05:15.840 Until the on-air light went on and he said those first words into his golden microphone.
00:05:24.020 It was a spontaneous coming together of his thoughts.
00:05:31.500 And no one, no one except talk radio people can understand that.
00:05:40.600 The greatest actors, the greatest performers, they don't write their own script.
00:05:46.360 And if they do, they write it in advance.
00:05:50.580 Unlike us, unlike Rush, we speak for three hours every day unscripted.
00:06:01.700 Unlike most, his desk was his broadcast studio.
00:06:06.500 He didn't move from an office into a studio just before the program.
00:06:10.540 When he arrived every morning, it was about a mile down from his house, he worked in his studio.
00:06:19.160 It was built to be soundproof, but also have the very best creature comforts for a person to work from seven, eight, ten hours with minimal movement.
00:06:28.700 And my studio was next to his in Radio City.
00:06:38.620 My studio didn't have all the bells and whistles that his studio had.
00:06:44.180 One of them was a secret cigar smoke vent.
00:06:50.180 Because you couldn't smoke in Radio City.
00:06:54.960 It was illegal in New York.
00:07:00.320 And nobody wanted to smell the recirculating cigar smoke.
00:07:04.620 So God only knows how he got it done on a historic building, but he had a cigar vent put into the window.
00:07:12.700 And the window put back together so it didn't disturb the historic building, and no one even knew it was there.
00:07:32.380 The mornings before his show were quiet.
00:07:37.160 He really was a man of few words.
00:07:42.700 In his studio for many years, there wasn't even a broadcast engineer.
00:07:48.920 It was just him.
00:07:54.780 Later, when he lost his hearing, he needed a broadcast engineer to help hear the audio.
00:08:01.720 His cochlear implants wouldn't pick up or discern.
00:08:04.620 I was there when they found out that Rush Limbaugh had lost his hearing.
00:08:13.160 I remember that night.
00:08:14.400 I think Stu was with me.
00:08:15.740 We were in Gabe Hobbs' office.
00:08:18.580 And we had just heard that Rush, it was still quiet.
00:08:22.640 No one was going to talk about it for at least another two weeks.
00:08:26.120 That Rush had lost his hearing.
00:08:28.520 And I remember listening to him at that time, and he was talking like this an awful lot.
00:08:37.740 From behind my golden microphone.
00:08:40.440 And he was forcing his voice down, and it sounded weird.
00:08:45.360 And I wondered what was going on with Rush.
00:08:48.020 Rush, that night I found out, he thought he was losing his lower register.
00:08:55.440 He thought his voice was getting higher.
00:08:57.980 And so he was forcing his voice down just a bit.
00:09:02.780 He wasn't losing his lower register.
00:09:04.920 He was losing his hearing.
00:09:07.360 I remember how the company did everything they could to help him through that.
00:09:21.120 I remember he came back on the air, and he had two stenographers, an oscilloscope,
00:09:26.520 and they had wired his board right where you would hear him do this.
00:09:32.760 That board was wired, so it would send vibrations.
00:09:39.340 So when someone was speaking on the phone, he could feel their voice.
00:09:44.480 He could see the voice pattern through the oscilloscope.
00:09:48.000 He could feel it through his hands.
00:09:50.540 And two stenographers were writing down everything a caller was saying.
00:09:55.340 In case one of them didn't get it right, he could compare the two.
00:09:59.040 So he could watch in real time what they were saying, watch the voice pattern of the caller,
00:10:06.540 and feel the voice with his hands while still processing what he was going to say.
00:10:17.580 Tell me the person that can do that.
00:10:21.480 Tell me the person that can do that, and you never knew.
00:10:25.560 He didn't know what his own voice sounded like anymore.
00:10:42.880 While he was talking on the air, he couldn't hear himself.
00:10:46.700 We hear ourselves on tape, and we think, that doesn't sound like me.
00:10:54.440 But it actually does.
00:10:56.660 It sounds exactly like you.
00:10:58.160 You're just not used to not hearing it from the inside.
00:11:02.000 You hear your voice different because it's coming from the inside.
00:11:05.900 So you're not hearing it without all the resonance inside of you.
00:11:14.660 Rush couldn't hear that anymore.
00:11:16.700 From behind my golden microphone.
00:11:25.540 He had that inflection because he had to remember what his muscles felt like when he was using inflection.
00:11:35.600 I didn't know Rush Limbaugh.
00:11:47.640 I guess in some ways, I'm a little like Rush.
00:11:51.720 He didn't like to take telephone calls, and after the cochlear implants, he couldn't.
00:11:56.380 But he didn't like off-air conversation.
00:12:01.520 He would email, later text message, instant message.
00:12:05.780 But when you did meet him, he listened.
00:12:12.240 For a guy who's on the air all the time, you'd think that he'd have a lot to say, and people around him would want to hear him talk.
00:12:22.580 All right, Rush, what do you really think?
00:12:26.160 What do you think really is going on?
00:12:29.040 But 90% of the conversations with Rush off-air
00:12:32.360 was your voice.
00:12:39.060 He was a profound listener.
00:12:40.960 I think that's one of the reasons why he knew the country so well.
00:12:58.920 Rush Limbaugh is responsible for saving the AM band.
00:13:03.740 RCA had invented FM radio back in the late 40s.
00:13:20.580 The guy who actually invented it, I think his name was Armstrong,
00:13:24.560 he killed himself because of RCA.
00:13:28.260 He realized he had been used by RCA.
00:13:30.980 And Sarnoff, he had invented something much better than AM radio.
00:13:37.680 But RCA and Sarnoff said,
00:13:40.160 there are too many AM radios to sell before we give up on this thing.
00:13:43.660 And they locked FM up into their vaults.
00:13:46.720 And they sold more and more AM radios until they couldn't sell anymore.
00:13:51.700 And that's when they introduced FM.
00:13:57.000 I grew up, I started on AM radio.
00:14:00.180 Before FM was really anything, it was still,
00:14:05.600 and here's another rock and roll hit,
00:14:08.480 In a Gara da Vida, man.
00:14:15.740 By the time the 1990s came,
00:14:19.640 I was programming AM radios,
00:14:22.880 AM radio stations,
00:14:23.900 and they were dying.
00:14:27.580 There was nothing.
00:14:30.160 And a guy who used to be the head of ABC,
00:14:35.420 ABC radio,
00:14:37.080 decided towards the end of his career
00:14:39.020 that he would take some of his salary
00:14:43.240 in something brand new.
00:14:48.020 Satellite time.
00:14:49.060 And ABC was like,
00:14:52.860 okay,
00:14:53.980 all right, dude,
00:14:55.440 if that's what you want,
00:14:56.580 you want X number of hours this year,
00:14:59.100 a satellite time.
00:15:00.460 Okay.
00:15:01.260 What are you going to use it for?
00:15:02.360 I don't know.
00:15:04.320 I don't know.
00:15:05.260 Just keep storing them up for me.
00:15:08.360 And by the time he left AM radio,
00:15:11.360 or I'm sorry,
00:15:12.400 ABC radio,
00:15:13.560 satellite was really starting to come into its own.
00:15:19.640 But it was still mainly television or radio news.
00:15:23.800 I remember when ABC news used to come in,
00:15:27.720 not on a satellite,
00:15:28.480 it had come in on a telephone line.
00:15:32.800 Satellite was just beginning to start to be used by radio,
00:15:36.860 but not for syndicated talk.
00:15:38.700 It didn't exist.
00:15:40.640 There was the fairness doctrine,
00:15:42.000 which made AM radio impossible.
00:15:45.440 Talk radio impossible.
00:15:47.460 Because everything I said had to be followed by a guy who was just as insane as Glenn Beck,
00:15:54.100 except on the other side.
00:15:56.300 Nobody wanted to listen to a station like that.
00:16:01.020 The fairness doctrine was dropped.
00:16:04.180 Rush Limbaugh,
00:16:05.100 who had been turned down by so many great people,
00:16:09.140 Jack Swanson from KGO,
00:16:12.820 right?
00:16:13.140 Wasn't that where Jack was?
00:16:14.400 KGO?
00:16:15.580 In San Francisco,
00:16:17.080 Jack was a guy who was one of the first to reach out to me and say,
00:16:22.700 you know,
00:16:22.880 I think you have something,
00:16:24.040 kid.
00:16:25.280 I think there's something to this talk radio thing.
00:16:27.860 Don't give up.
00:16:30.880 And I said,
00:16:32.060 wow,
00:16:32.320 that's great.
00:16:32.920 Would you hire me?
00:16:33.980 And he said,
00:16:34.700 oh,
00:16:34.920 no.
00:16:35.120 But remember,
00:16:36.400 I'm the guy who didn't hire Rush Limbaugh.
00:16:42.520 Jackie got two now.
00:16:49.400 He went to work.
00:16:50.840 Rush went to work with this little radio station in Sacramento.
00:16:54.060 And nobody thought it would work.
00:16:57.160 Nobody thought it would work.
00:16:59.440 Rush did.
00:17:01.140 He knew from his childhood,
00:17:03.640 he knew he was going to be successful.
00:17:06.340 I'm going to pick the story up there.
00:17:08.720 In one minute.

00:18:24.780 It's 10 Second Station ID.
00:18:26.420 There is something about successful people and entrepreneurs that is truly,
00:18:43.400 truly American.
00:18:45.720 These entrepreneurs that come from nothing and have no reason to believe that they can do anything better than their parents.
00:18:55.500 Rush was one of those guys.
00:18:58.400 I grew up with,
00:19:00.740 I grew up in a bakery with my dad.
00:19:02.980 He lost his bakery and
00:19:04.320 in my 30s,
00:19:06.620 I began to realize my dad was kind of a Willie Loman character,
00:19:10.860 always striving,
00:19:12.620 but never really making it.
00:19:13.920 There was no reason for him to believe that his son could make it because he never really did.
00:19:23.600 But he did.
00:19:24.600 He believed in it.
00:19:25.420 He believed you can accomplish anything.
00:19:27.380 I don't know where Rush got that belief,
00:19:32.340 but every successful entrepreneur has that understanding.
00:19:36.700 And then they're willing to apply themselves and not stand around and whine.
00:19:42.840 Rush hated school.
00:19:45.100 He hated his grade school experience.
00:19:47.900 He dropped out of college at 20.
00:19:49.460 His father was a World War II combat pilot.
00:19:54.360 And his father wasn't happy about these things.
00:19:57.560 His radio gigs failed over and over and over again.
00:20:00.840 He had to come home and live with his parents after a stint in Pittsburgh.
00:20:03.660 He grew depressed.
00:20:06.060 He was frustrated.
00:20:08.620 He said,
00:20:09.380 I knew I was going to be successful.
00:20:11.720 I just didn't know how or where.
00:20:14.840 What I would be doing.
00:20:18.360 He said,
00:20:19.040 I knew I was going to be successful,
00:20:20.160 but nothing was ever working out for me.
00:20:24.200 He said,
00:20:24.760 I can remember taking a baseball bat out in the backyard and just
00:20:27.800 beating a tree over and over and over again.
00:20:31.320 Oh my gosh.
00:20:34.840 Oh my gosh.
00:20:35.960 He was abusing trees.
00:20:37.700 Shut up.
00:20:43.620 So Ed McLaughlin was the president of ABC news.
00:20:48.140 He was the guy who had all of this satellite time.
00:20:54.480 He saw the success of this guy who everybody said would be a failure.
00:20:58.540 And Ed was smart enough to see what was really going on with the Rush
00:21:04.240 Limbaugh show in that small town of Sacramento.
00:21:09.300 And he said,
00:21:10.040 geez,
00:21:10.220 I have all this satellite time.
00:21:11.600 I don't know what else to do with it.
00:21:13.920 He called Rush Limbaugh up and said,
00:21:15.600 Hey,
00:21:15.760 I was thinking about,
00:21:17.060 I was thinking about syndicating you in a time where syndication was
00:21:22.140 unheard of.
00:21:24.060 You couldn't syndicate without satellite and satellite was so expensive.
00:21:29.800 It was,
00:21:30.320 I think at the time,
00:21:31.300 like $2,000 an hour.
00:21:32.800 And that's when $2,000 was real money.
00:21:37.260 He said,
00:21:37.860 I have all this satellite time.
00:21:39.900 Let me try putting your show on.
00:21:41.360 That was 1988.
00:21:49.020 I remember hearing Rush Limbaugh for the first time in 1989.
00:21:55.480 And I remember the Rush rooms.
00:21:59.320 I remember him talking about the first Gulf war in ways I had never heard
00:22:04.660 before.
00:22:05.080 Saying things I had never heard saying the things like abortion is wrong.
00:22:14.180 I hadn't heard that.
00:22:15.660 I hadn't heard that articulated.
00:22:18.560 Something was very different about Rush Limbaugh.
00:22:22.560 And I don't know what it is exactly.
00:22:31.480 But as an observer,
00:22:34.220 as a historian,
00:22:35.880 as a guy who loves this industry,
00:22:39.920 I've got a lot more to say about the great Rush Limbaugh.
00:22:46.720 Next.
00:22:48.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:52.560 Well,
00:22:53.200 boy,
00:22:53.860 with all this weather going on,
00:22:55.860 I'm just mad,
00:22:57.320 the aches and pains.
00:22:58.340 I can tell it's going to rain today.
00:23:00.500 My bones are hanging.
00:23:02.120 My hand,
00:23:03.100 my hand,
00:23:04.020 it starts flapping like a bird when,
00:23:06.420 when it starts to get cold outside.
00:23:09.400 And that's how I know.
00:23:10.760 Birds are going to be flying south because it's good.
00:23:14.300 You remember,
00:23:14.920 you remember when your grandparents used to say that?
00:23:16.820 Everybody would say,
00:23:17.900 I can feel the rain in my bones.
00:23:19.600 And you'd be like,
00:23:20.140 yeah,
00:23:20.420 right,
00:23:20.840 sure.
00:23:21.200 And then you get,
00:23:22.140 you get to be 50,
00:23:23.500 60 years old.
00:23:24.180 And you're like,
00:23:24.580 oh my gosh,
00:23:25.920 I can feel my hand is flapping like a bird right now.
00:23:29.780 Listen,

00:24:13.180 This is the Glenn Beck program today.
00:24:25.320 I want to spend some time just talking about Rush Limbaugh.
00:24:28.760 I think he deserves a day on the medium that he himself created.
00:24:38.220 I told you that he saved AM radio.
00:24:40.840 AM radio was over because of crystal clear stereo FM.
00:24:50.100 And AM radio didn't know what to do.
00:24:53.360 They were playing music and then they tried this horrible idea of AM stereo.
00:24:58.140 Oh, good.
00:24:58.720 So I could get the crappy sound in both channels.
00:25:02.760 No, I don't think so.
00:25:05.100 It went nowhere.
00:25:06.340 Nothing was going to save AM radio until Rush Limbaugh.
00:25:15.500 Rush Limbaugh created an industry.
00:25:20.300 Rush Limbaugh at the end of the fairness doctrine,
00:25:25.200 which was only put in because of the Democrats with JFK.
00:25:33.260 They knew the Republicans were making headway.
00:25:40.760 And JFK decided we need a fairness doctrine,
00:25:44.160 which was anything but.
00:25:45.320 But the only place after 1988 with Rush Limbaugh and after Reagan and the fair,
00:25:52.200 it kills the fairness doctrine.
00:25:54.580 Rush Limbaugh was the only place you could really go and hear a different point of view.
00:26:00.400 You could hear somebody sit down and really explain and articulate why America believes what it does.
00:26:08.720 Why, why abortion was wrong.
00:26:13.240 Why liberalism and Marxism was wrong.
00:26:17.540 Why federalism and the Republic was right.
00:26:21.940 To hear about our founding fathers.
00:26:24.100 Because all of us, all of us, all of us in radio.
00:26:33.600 And I mean, all of us, I mean, those who are in music radio today.
00:26:40.720 During COVID.
00:26:43.640 It was talk radio that saved radio.
00:26:48.080 All of the sponsors, all of the things, all of the problems that these companies have gone through.
00:26:57.020 Only talk radio was generating cash.
00:27:01.680 Everything else was down.
00:27:03.740 Only talk radio.
00:27:06.140 Talk radio during COVID saved the AM and FM band.
00:27:11.860 And in my opinion, that's two in the column for Rush Limbaugh.
00:27:21.500 He saved the AM band.
00:27:24.980 And because of what he created and because of what he led, he also saved the AM band, the FM band.
00:27:37.200 Who else has done this?
00:27:41.860 What other one man?
00:27:44.460 Not a movement.
00:27:46.040 You know, you can look at people that are individuals like JFK.
00:27:51.680 Look what, I'm not, sorry, not JFK, but Martin Luther King.
00:27:56.620 You can see what he did, but it wasn't just him.
00:28:01.740 That was labor unions.
00:28:03.880 That was churches.
00:28:06.560 That was, there were big organizations behind him.
00:28:10.480 Who was behind Rush Limbaugh?
00:28:16.260 He had more opposition than any man.
00:28:20.840 He was called the most dangerous man in America by those in power and by those in the media for three decades.
00:28:29.960 They tried everything to get Rush Limbaugh off the air.
00:28:39.740 And I, I would be, it would be a mistake for me.
00:28:50.180 I hesitate to even say this because I know the heat he will get.
00:28:58.340 But the guy who started MTV is Bob Pittman.
00:29:02.800 Bob Pittman is a, he's really, truly a genius.
00:29:07.120 Bob Pittman and I don't agree on anything politically.
00:29:12.320 I mean nothing.
00:29:13.680 And I'm sure it was the same with Rush Limbaugh.
00:29:16.600 Nothing in common politically.
00:29:18.840 When Bob Pittman became the, uh, the head of Clear Channel, I was very nervous because he is not a conservative.
00:29:33.680 What Bob Pittman is, is not just a good businessman, but a man who believes in freedom of speech.
00:29:43.980 He does not believe in a country that shuts everyone down just because you don't agree with them.
00:29:52.280 It would be a mistake to say that Rush did all of this on his own.
00:30:02.920 He did a lot of it.
00:30:05.300 But what others had to do was stand up for his right.
00:30:09.800 And Clear Channel and Bob Pittman has.
00:30:15.560 They stood up for his right.
00:30:18.260 And in extension, my right.
00:30:22.280 Rush, when all odds are against us, Rush also created something different as well.
00:30:30.940 The personal relationship with sponsors and bringing small companies on because nobody, nobody in the big companies are going to advertise.
00:30:46.580 They don't want to advertise.
00:30:48.140 They don't want to be associated with all this hate.
00:30:50.900 I can guarantee you that all those people that tweeted yesterday the hate have never listened to Rush Limbaugh.
00:30:58.860 Not once.
00:31:00.860 Never did they listen to him in context.
00:31:03.620 I've said many times before, and I think I originally got it from Rush Limbaugh.
00:31:09.180 I can't program.
00:31:11.580 I can't write my show and do my show for people who don't listen.
00:31:15.900 But it is the people who don't listen.
00:31:25.860 They are the ones who tear us apart because they don't take the time to actually even try to understand what we're saying.
00:31:35.620 Try to understand, oh, that was a comedic comment.
00:31:43.260 You can say anything on the left comedically.
00:31:47.220 But if you try to say it on the right, especially on talk radio, you're the devil.
00:31:52.880 That's okay.
00:31:53.740 You can judge a man by his friends, but you can also judge a man by his enemies.
00:32:00.720 And Rush had some of the best enemies out there.
00:32:06.880 They did everything they could to destroy him.
00:32:11.300 They've spent millions of dollars to destroy him.
00:32:15.920 It didn't work.
00:32:17.120 And you know why it didn't work?
00:32:22.520 Because of you.
00:32:28.480 Because you wouldn't sit down.
00:32:31.540 You wouldn't be bullied into not listening.
00:32:35.620 You wouldn't be bullied into being shut up.
00:32:39.640 The talk radio stations, when they were boycotted,
00:32:43.540 those listeners rallied.
00:32:48.140 When they were boycotted, the sponsors, the listeners,
00:32:51.300 they went out and bought those products even more.
00:32:55.740 I got an email from a really good friend yesterday.
00:33:02.000 Greg Nowak.
00:33:02.960 He used to be the president of Premier Talk Division.
00:33:07.300 He worked with Rush for years.
00:33:08.660 Then he went out and he did work for smaller businesses.
00:33:16.260 He wrote to me today.
00:33:17.520 He said, Glenn, I took the owners of Allen Brothers Steaks to meet Rush in Palm Beach one time.
00:33:23.800 Rush had agreed to endorse their company and their commercials were to start in a few weeks.
00:33:28.660 We entered the building, not wanting to be late, 3 p.m. sharp.
00:33:32.380 We went up to the floor where Rush's studio was.
00:33:34.680 He had just finished his show and he came out to the lobby meeting area to greet us.
00:33:40.300 As we sat down, Rush said this,
00:33:42.920 quote,
00:33:43.460 It is a true honor for you to have placed your trust in me.
00:33:48.540 I love helping privately owned small businesses like yours grow.
00:33:52.660 Think of the people that you're going to hire
00:33:54.300 and the places they will go,
00:33:58.100 the colleges their children will be able to attend.
00:34:01.880 That's why I do this program.
00:34:03.560 To attract the largest audience possible.
00:34:06.920 To tell them stories about companies like yours.
00:34:09.660 I am a capitalist.
00:34:12.320 And it gives me great pleasure to further the advancement of capitalism,
00:34:17.760 knowing how many people down the line will benefit from your ad.
00:34:23.260 Then he opened up his legal pad.
00:34:31.220 He said,
00:34:31.860 I did some research on your products.
00:34:33.420 I ordered several items.
00:34:34.560 I tasted them.
00:34:35.120 I have a few questions for you.
00:34:38.120 He then spent 30 minutes questioning the owners.
00:34:42.300 The owners' jaws dropping in amazement
00:34:44.660 when they witnessed how interested Rush was
00:34:47.200 in them as people,
00:34:49.520 in their business.
00:34:53.160 Greg wrote to me last night,
00:34:54.620 just before we left.
00:34:57.360 Rush turned and said,
00:34:58.560 How many hits per second can your website handle?
00:35:01.020 They answered.
00:35:03.540 I don't remember the number,
00:35:05.080 but Rush replied with a twinkle in his eye
00:35:07.120 and a chuckle.
00:35:08.740 Well, I'll see what I can do about that.
00:35:12.800 We all shook hands and the meeting ended.
00:35:15.380 I got into the elevator with the owners.
00:35:17.380 One said with wide eyes and a huge smile,
00:35:19.960 He's going to try to crash our website, isn't he?
00:35:23.320 I looked at him and said,
00:35:24.480 No, he's not going to try.
00:35:27.260 He will.
00:35:28.580 He knows he will.
00:35:30.260 He's Rush Limbaugh.
00:35:31.140 He knows his audience.
00:35:32.800 He knows they're going to love your product.
00:35:36.420 His first commercial,
00:35:37.520 they crashed the website.
00:35:40.040 Their business grew exponentially.
00:35:46.420 If you've ever had Snapple,
00:35:47.880 you have Rush to thank.
00:35:49.900 It was a small little brand
00:35:50.920 that nobody knew about.
00:35:51.820 He started drinking Snapple.
00:35:54.560 He started talking about it on the air.
00:35:56.400 He wasn't paid to talk about it
00:35:57.580 and Snapple became Snapple.
00:36:05.000 Rush was a kind man.
00:36:09.600 I think he was very shy
00:36:11.160 and no matter how many times he said,
00:36:13.220 With talent on loan from God.
00:36:17.300 That was a joke.
00:36:21.820 Just a few brushes with Rush Limbaugh
00:36:25.280 told me he wasn't that man.
00:36:29.880 That was an act.
00:36:31.140 That was a show.
00:36:33.020 He was a gentleman always.
00:36:36.780 He was exceptional at what he did.
00:36:39.700 I want to tell you my
00:36:47.740 personal experiences
00:36:49.500 with Rush Limbaugh
00:36:50.840 and the Mount Rushmore
00:36:57.540 of radio
00:36:59.520 in a few minutes.
00:37:02.860 Stand by.
00:37:08.240 Car Shield.
00:37:09.080 Car Shield.
00:37:09.700 You know, they say Car Shield cars
00:37:11.100 go further.
00:37:11.760 Why is that?
00:37:13.040 Well, your car doesn't go
00:37:15.480 and go and go and go
00:37:16.540 because now
00:37:17.820 with all of the chips
00:37:20.180 that are in your car,
00:37:21.620 one chip can cost you $5,000
00:37:23.320 and, you know,
00:37:24.420 at the time,
00:37:24.900 your car may be worth two.
00:37:26.360 And so they just total it
00:37:27.300 and you have to go out
00:37:27.920 and buy a new one
00:37:28.520 and then start payments over again.
00:37:30.840 You can drive your car
00:37:32.400 until the doors fall off
00:37:34.140 if you have Car Shield
00:37:35.380 because whatever goes wrong,
00:37:37.500 if it's covered repair,
00:37:39.000 you don't have to worry
00:37:39.880 about it at all.
00:37:40.720 I've had a,
00:37:41.420 I think it was a $6,000 or $7,000 chip
00:37:43.740 go down in my truck
00:37:45.780 and the last thing I wanted,
00:37:47.500 it was a new truck.
00:37:48.200 I don't need a new truck.
00:37:49.320 I like my old truck.
00:37:51.580 $6,000,
00:37:52.740 if I was going to pay for it,
00:37:53.880 I would have just bought a new truck.
00:37:56.240 I'll go buy another used truck
00:37:57.940 for, I don't know,
00:37:58.620 $15,000 and use that one
00:38:00.360 until that chip goes out.
00:38:01.820 What a waste of money.
00:38:04.320 You can design your own,
00:38:05.860 your own plan with Car Shield.
00:38:09.500 You can design the payment plan,
00:38:11.660 what's covered, what's not.

00:38:39.180 We welcome back to the program
00:38:40.760 Mr. Stu Bergeer,
00:38:43.020 who apparently is just too weenie
00:38:45.880 to actually make it
00:38:47.200 to a single broadcast
00:38:48.080 if there's a little bit
00:38:49.020 of ice or snow.
00:38:50.000 Yeah.
00:38:50.300 And also, my house
00:38:51.420 is completely filled with water.
00:38:52.960 So I thought maybe...
00:38:53.900 You're the one hoarding
00:38:54.400 all the water.
00:38:54.920 Yes, it's all in my house, guys.
00:38:56.580 All your pipe bursts
00:38:57.700 in your attic.
00:38:59.220 Yes.
00:38:59.700 Yeah.
00:39:00.000 Which is interesting
00:39:00.740 with the whole gravity thing.
00:39:02.880 Like, if it's in your attic,
00:39:04.400 it doesn't stay in your attic.
00:39:05.300 Like, it comes down
00:39:06.420 to the below floors,
00:39:09.520 which was, yeah.
00:39:10.180 Well, it's nice to have you back.
00:39:11.080 Thank you.
00:39:11.540 I appreciate it.
00:39:12.180 I was thinking,
00:39:12.740 as you were talking about this,
00:39:13.620 I remember my last job
00:39:15.260 before starting in radio
00:39:16.900 was I was working
00:39:18.380 at a furniture company,
00:39:19.700 you know,
00:39:20.080 scheduling deliveries.
00:39:22.180 And I had to go get
00:39:22.960 a drug test for this job.
00:39:24.880 Which, by the way,
00:39:25.640 I passed.
00:39:26.400 Right.
00:39:26.720 You know,
00:39:26.960 they're not all that reliable.
00:39:28.760 Anyway,
00:39:29.200 but I remember
00:39:30.280 sitting in the waiting room
00:39:31.340 and I was into radio
00:39:32.520 and I wanted to go into radio
00:39:33.740 and I remember the cover,
00:39:35.140 I can't remember
00:39:35.700 if it was Newsweek or Time
00:39:37.600 or it was one of those
00:39:38.500 types of magazines,
00:39:39.420 the big ones at the time.
00:39:41.180 And the cover was Rush Limbaugh
00:39:43.080 and it was a cartoon
00:39:44.300 and it was explaining
00:39:45.860 how it was over finally.
00:39:48.260 We finally are done
00:39:49.560 with the Rush Limbaugh era.
00:39:51.300 It was over.
00:39:52.400 This is like 1996.
00:39:55.020 I mean,
00:39:55.280 they had declared him dead
00:39:57.400 so many times
00:39:59.400 in his career.
00:40:00.320 Every time.
00:40:00.940 And every time
00:40:01.960 he fought back
00:40:02.600 to the point
00:40:03.020 where he lasted
00:40:03.760 literally until his last day
00:40:06.180 as the number one star
00:40:09.080 in all of radio
00:40:10.400 and influence
00:40:12.340 well beyond
00:40:13.320 that statement.
00:40:14.900 I mean,
00:40:15.080 it really is incredible
00:40:16.220 and he did it all
00:40:17.260 basically without social media.
00:40:19.580 I mean,
00:40:19.740 one of the things
00:40:20.400 I was amazed about
00:40:21.840 and you mentioned this
00:40:22.740 when you talked about him
00:40:23.740 years ago
00:40:24.360 for what was it
00:40:24.960 the top 100
00:40:26.000 most important people
00:40:27.160 or something
00:40:27.440 and he did something
00:40:27.940 with him.
00:40:28.640 He never tweets.
00:40:29.760 I mean,
00:40:29.940 you know,
00:40:30.100 he did a little bit
00:40:30.640 of it towards the end
00:40:31.460 but barely
00:40:31.920 it really wasn't
00:40:32.560 part of his profile
00:40:33.500 and his death
00:40:34.780 was not tweeted about
00:40:36.360 it was not leaked beforehand
00:40:37.800 it was told
00:40:39.040 at the very beginning
00:40:40.080 of his radio show
00:40:40.960 by his wife.
00:40:42.160 It doesn't happen.
00:40:42.900 It doesn't happen.
00:40:43.720 It doesn't happen.
00:40:44.280 I mean,
00:40:44.460 they just do not make
00:40:45.520 them like him anymore.
00:40:47.280 They just don't exist.
00:40:51.900 Yeah,
00:40:52.400 thank you.
00:40:52.780 That's sad,
00:40:53.360 isn't it?
00:40:53.820 Yeah,
00:40:54.200 it really is.
00:40:54.660 We'll lose him
00:40:55.700 at a critical time
00:40:57.420 but we're up
00:40:58.260 for the challenge.
00:40:59.380 More in a minute.
00:40:59.820 It's the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:01.300 All right,
00:41:01.640 let me tell you
00:41:02.840 about Rough Greens.
00:41:06.180 I'd love to hear about it.
00:41:07.760 Would you?
00:41:08.460 Yeah.
00:41:09.120 Rough Greens
00:41:09.600 is what I feed my dog,
00:41:11.100 Uno.
00:41:11.540 It's what Pat feeds his dog,
00:41:13.580 what Stu feeds his dog
00:41:15.380 and when Stu's dog
00:41:17.380 and Pat's dog
00:41:18.100 get big enough,
00:41:19.000 I'll feed their dogs
00:41:20.040 to Uno.
00:41:22.600 But I'll sprinkle
00:41:23.480 little Rough Greens
00:41:24.280 on top of them first
00:41:25.500 because that way
00:41:26.060 they get their probiotics
00:41:27.260 and all of the protein
00:41:28.680 that they might need.
00:41:29.640 That's hurtful.
00:41:30.960 Miles is not
00:41:31.940 in love with the spot.
00:41:34.820 If he could hear it,
00:41:35.940 he'd be upset.
00:41:36.780 Yeah,
00:41:36.980 it'd be,
00:41:37.980 Miles,
00:41:38.960 they're talking about you.
00:41:42.700 Rough Greens
00:41:43.440 will help your dog
00:41:45.140 be healthier
00:41:45.960 and happier.
00:41:47.200 I've seen it.
00:41:48.080 We've all seen it
00:41:48.880 with our dogs.

00:42:31.240 This
00:42:31.880 is
00:42:33.340 the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:40.660 Hello, America.
00:42:43.780 Rush Limbaugh
00:42:45.440 passed away yesterday.
00:42:49.100 It was announced on his show
00:42:50.700 by his wife
00:42:52.200 just minutes after I finished
00:42:54.420 my broadcast.
00:42:56.140 As I was finishing up,
00:42:58.360 I got an email.
00:43:01.260 Rush
00:43:01.780 passed this morning.
00:43:03.780 His wife
00:43:04.400 is going to make
00:43:05.480 the announcement.
00:43:07.920 It is,
00:43:09.060 it was a very tough day
00:43:10.740 for a lot of people.
00:43:12.080 It was a tough day
00:43:12.880 for me and
00:43:13.620 I will tell you
00:43:16.040 that I,
00:43:16.700 um,
00:43:17.600 I don't think
00:43:19.700 I've ever done this.
00:43:20.960 Maybe,
00:43:21.300 maybe except for
00:43:22.040 Ronald Reagan.
00:43:22.580 But I don't think
00:43:24.500 there's,
00:43:25.040 I think everything else
00:43:25.840 can wait.
00:43:27.220 Everything else
00:43:27.920 can wait.
00:43:29.640 Uh,
00:43:30.180 conservatives
00:43:30.680 need to take
00:43:31.840 the time
00:43:32.780 today
00:43:33.760 and just
00:43:34.980 recognize
00:43:35.680 where we are
00:43:37.020 and the freedoms
00:43:37.760 we have
00:43:38.360 and I think
00:43:38.860 in no small part
00:43:39.800 because of
00:43:41.160 Rush Limbaugh.
00:43:43.520 I'll explain that
00:43:44.800 in 60 seconds.
00:43:49.080 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:50.740 All right,
00:43:52.800 let me tell you
00:43:53.900 about American
00:43:54.920 financing.
00:43:56.920 Oh,
00:43:57.840 you tired of
00:43:58.660 me shouting
00:43:59.360 from the rooftops
00:44:00.140 about how you need
00:44:00.720 to be fiscally
00:44:01.340 responsible?
00:44:02.760 There's so much
00:44:03.820 chaos going on
00:44:04.760 in the financial
00:44:05.440 world right now
00:44:06.380 and if you don't
00:44:07.540 believe that,
00:44:08.820 uh,
00:44:09.760 have you seen
00:44:10.440 the price of
00:44:10.940 Bitcoin today?
00:44:12.520 Is it still 51,
00:44:13.680 52?
00:44:14.480 What is it at?
00:44:15.960 Uh,
00:44:16.320 51,
00:44:17.040 8.
00:44:17.440 51,
00:44:18.020 8.
00:44:18.660 Okay.
00:44:19.760 All-time high.
00:44:20.960 All-time high.
00:44:21.960 Uh,
00:44:22.200 just a couple
00:44:22.540 of weeks ago
00:44:23.000 it was 30.
00:44:24.120 Why is this
00:44:24.940 happening?
00:44:26.300 Because of the
00:44:27.600 spending that is
00:44:28.600 coming your way
00:44:29.540 and the way
00:44:30.380 the Federal Reserve
00:44:31.500 Bank and the
00:44:32.340 central banks
00:44:32.900 around the world
00:44:33.600 are treating
00:44:34.620 cash.
00:44:36.120 This is the
00:44:37.300 next generation's
00:44:38.440 gold.
00:44:39.180 Now,
00:44:39.540 unlike gold,
00:44:40.440 I don't know
00:44:41.000 if it will still
00:44:41.600 be around,
00:44:42.820 um,
00:44:43.500 but
00:44:43.980 this is what
00:44:45.800 this generation
00:44:46.480 is looking at
00:44:47.240 and they're
00:44:47.540 saying we're
00:44:48.280 going to put
00:44:48.660 it into
00:44:49.020 something that
00:44:50.680 nobody can
00:44:51.400 take because
00:44:52.180 of blockchain.
00:44:53.340 Okay.
00:44:54.480 So what does
00:44:55.280 this mean?
00:44:56.220 This means that
00:44:57.100 everything's going
00:44:57.860 to change.
00:44:58.540 You need to
00:44:59.260 get your

00:45:44.680 I'm going to
00:45:46.000 share a couple
00:45:46.420 of stories
00:45:47.060 that I
00:45:49.220 don't think
00:45:51.340 I've ever
00:45:51.720 shared before.
00:45:55.140 And you'll
00:45:55.980 understand
00:45:56.780 at the end
00:45:57.860 of this story
00:45:58.440 why I'm
00:45:59.020 starting here
00:45:59.760 as I'm
00:46:00.120 talking about
00:46:00.680 Rush Limbaugh.
00:46:02.680 I remember
00:46:03.520 sitting in
00:46:04.780 a Broadway
00:46:07.980 play.
00:46:08.660 It was a
00:46:09.020 Saturday afternoon.
00:46:10.880 My wife
00:46:11.360 and I
00:46:11.580 were going.
00:46:12.000 And
00:46:14.740 in the
00:46:17.460 middle of
00:46:17.880 the play,
00:46:19.620 a security
00:46:21.120 agent comes
00:46:21.800 up and
00:46:22.280 hands me
00:46:22.860 his phone.
00:46:24.840 And it
00:46:25.780 was on a
00:46:26.240 news story.
00:46:27.520 And it
00:46:27.860 was that
00:46:28.220 Gabby Giffords
00:46:28.940 had been
00:46:29.340 shot.
00:46:30.980 And they
00:46:31.720 of course
00:46:32.100 were blaming
00:46:32.560 it on
00:46:32.940 right-wing
00:46:33.420 extremists,
00:46:34.840 which it
00:46:35.540 wasn't.
00:46:36.960 It was a
00:46:37.340 crazy man
00:46:38.320 who was
00:46:39.460 a supporter
00:46:40.220 of the
00:46:40.740 left,
00:46:41.120 but more
00:46:41.860 importantly,
00:46:42.300 he had a
00:46:42.900 problem with
00:46:43.520 the way I
00:46:44.680 think the
00:46:45.000 alphabet or
00:46:45.920 grammar.
00:46:46.600 He had a
00:46:47.420 weird grammar
00:46:48.240 hang up.
00:46:49.000 It was very
00:46:49.520 strange.
00:46:50.320 And he was
00:46:50.680 crazy.
00:46:51.080 He was crazy.
00:46:51.620 He was
00:46:51.720 crazy.
00:46:53.080 But at
00:46:53.800 the time
00:46:54.280 they were
00:46:54.560 blaming it
00:46:55.080 on right-wing
00:46:56.340 extremists
00:46:57.300 and the
00:46:58.040 violence.
00:46:59.620 And I
00:47:00.260 looked at
00:47:00.740 my wife.
00:47:01.180 It was a
00:47:01.500 Saturday,
00:47:01.960 I think,
00:47:02.320 and I
00:47:02.560 looked at
00:47:02.820 my wife
00:47:03.220 and I
00:47:03.480 said,
00:47:04.340 this next
00:47:06.240 week is
00:47:06.620 going to
00:47:06.920 be hell.
00:47:07.480 Monday,
00:47:10.520 I got a
00:47:10.940 call from
00:47:11.780 Fox.
00:47:13.680 I got a
00:47:14.020 call from
00:47:14.620 Roger Ailes'
00:47:15.420 office,
00:47:16.020 who had
00:47:16.860 been trying
00:47:17.480 to get
00:47:18.000 his thumb
00:47:18.720 on me
00:47:19.320 for a
00:47:19.960 while.
00:47:21.380 He had
00:47:22.020 tried all
00:47:23.300 kinds of
00:47:23.800 things that
00:47:24.540 were really,
00:47:25.780 really
00:47:26.500 despicable.
00:47:28.920 One of the
00:47:29.660 things I
00:47:30.040 learned at
00:47:30.720 Fox was
00:47:31.360 everyone said
00:47:32.200 I can never
00:47:32.620 leave Fox
00:47:33.160 because,
00:47:33.780 well,
00:47:33.980 I just owe
00:47:34.540 Roger too
00:47:35.140 much.
00:47:35.460 after working
00:47:37.420 there for
00:47:37.820 a while,
00:47:38.160 I realized
00:47:38.780 some people
00:47:39.360 actually meant
00:47:40.260 that they
00:47:40.740 owed him
00:47:41.560 because they
00:47:42.680 had saved
00:47:43.720 him or
00:47:44.700 saved them
00:47:45.440 from something.
00:47:47.960 It was,
00:47:48.920 and it wasn't
00:47:49.640 Roger Ailes,
00:47:50.400 it was,
00:47:51.000 well,
00:47:52.060 I'm not going
00:47:52.400 to get into
00:47:52.760 it,
00:47:52.940 but,
00:47:53.560 and I
00:47:55.800 remember
00:47:56.080 thinking he
00:47:57.440 is going
00:47:58.880 to threaten
00:47:59.380 to fire
00:48:00.020 me because
00:48:01.180 he called
00:48:01.580 on Monday
00:48:02.040 and said,
00:48:02.440 I want to
00:48:02.660 see Glenn
00:48:02.980 in my
00:48:03.200 office,
00:48:03.960 you know,
00:48:04.900 3pm
00:48:05.980 Thursday.
00:48:08.320 That week
00:48:09.280 was a
00:48:11.080 very long
00:48:11.660 week,
00:48:12.000 and I
00:48:12.960 tried to
00:48:14.120 think how
00:48:15.060 to out
00:48:15.760 think this,
00:48:17.040 how to
00:48:17.400 not get
00:48:18.600 trapped,
00:48:19.100 because if
00:48:19.960 Roger fired
00:48:20.820 me that
00:48:21.300 week,
00:48:21.660 he would
00:48:21.940 basically be
00:48:22.720 saying Glenn
00:48:23.520 Beck was
00:48:23.940 responsible for
00:48:24.860 Gabby Giffords,
00:48:25.960 and I
00:48:27.860 would have
00:48:28.360 to bow
00:48:29.580 the knee,
00:48:30.400 and I
00:48:31.020 couldn't do
00:48:31.400 that,
00:48:31.880 but I
00:48:32.320 couldn't get
00:48:32.700 fired either.
00:48:33.400 what was
00:48:37.240 I going
00:48:37.500 to do?
00:48:42.360 I kept
00:48:42.920 my office
00:48:43.520 out,
00:48:43.900 I had
00:48:44.120 an office
00:48:44.520 at Fox,
00:48:45.080 but I
00:48:45.300 never used
00:48:45.820 it,
00:48:47.020 I think
00:48:47.860 I used
00:48:48.200 it like
00:48:48.500 twice,
00:48:49.040 and the
00:48:49.220 only reason
00:48:49.520 why I
00:48:49.780 went up
00:48:50.080 there one
00:48:50.460 time was
00:48:50.840 to show
00:48:51.140 my kids
00:48:51.600 that it
00:48:51.920 overlooked
00:48:52.360 the M&M
00:48:53.080 store in
00:48:54.860 Times Square.
00:48:55.600 I kept
00:48:57.220 my offices
00:48:57.720 separate,
00:48:58.380 because I
00:48:58.900 didn't want
00:48:59.420 to be
00:49:00.020 there,
00:49:01.120 I wanted
00:49:01.600 to retain
00:49:02.380 my own
00:49:02.940 independence,
00:49:03.980 and we
00:49:05.620 were about
00:49:05.860 three blocks
00:49:06.460 away,
00:49:06.800 and I
00:49:06.980 was walking,
00:49:08.280 and we
00:49:09.100 had war
00:49:09.500 gamed this
00:49:10.060 every way
00:49:10.740 you could
00:49:11.820 imagine,
00:49:12.880 and I
00:49:13.460 had been
00:49:13.800 told by
00:49:14.240 very wise
00:49:14.900 people,
00:49:15.600 get sick,
00:49:16.580 don't go
00:49:17.260 in,
00:49:18.080 you can't
00:49:18.620 go in,
00:49:19.040 because he
00:49:20.120 will put you
00:49:21.100 in a position
00:49:21.740 to where
00:49:22.520 you won't
00:49:23.400 win,
00:49:23.780 you won't
00:49:24.240 win,
00:49:24.620 all the
00:49:26.980 way over,
00:49:28.060 I'm saying
00:49:28.580 a prayer,
00:49:29.320 and I'm
00:49:29.500 like,
00:49:29.920 Lord,
00:49:30.280 I got
00:49:30.520 nothing,
00:49:31.620 I got
00:49:31.960 nothing,
00:49:33.860 I don't,
00:49:35.020 this is
00:49:36.000 it,
00:49:37.160 I need
00:49:38.040 some
00:49:38.500 divine
00:49:39.600 intervention,
00:49:40.580 some help,
00:49:41.740 something,
00:49:43.140 and I
00:49:45.300 remember
00:49:45.640 walking
00:49:46.140 past his
00:49:47.480 secretary's
00:49:48.620 desk,
00:49:49.260 and she
00:49:49.540 looked at
00:49:49.880 me,
00:49:50.440 she had
00:49:51.900 a weird
00:49:52.300 unspoken
00:49:53.120 communication
00:49:54.020 with me,
00:49:55.220 I could
00:49:55.560 tell what
00:49:56.760 I was
00:49:57.040 walking
00:49:57.400 into,
00:49:58.820 and she
00:49:59.500 just looked
00:49:59.960 up at
00:50:00.340 me,
00:50:00.540 and he
00:50:00.680 said,
00:50:01.060 he's
00:50:01.400 waiting
00:50:01.680 for you,
00:50:02.160 and I
00:50:02.380 thought to
00:50:02.760 myself,
00:50:03.100 I bet he
00:50:03.620 is,
00:50:04.120 and I
00:50:04.880 opened up
00:50:05.300 the door,
00:50:06.180 and the
00:50:07.020 minute I
00:50:08.680 crossed the
00:50:09.300 threshold,
00:50:10.880 I was
00:50:12.040 filled with
00:50:13.000 empathy for
00:50:14.280 him,
00:50:15.300 it wasn't a
00:50:16.740 scheme,
00:50:17.200 it wasn't a
00:50:17.700 plan,
00:50:18.160 it was
00:50:18.380 nothing,
00:50:18.960 I was
00:50:19.380 suddenly overcome
00:50:20.440 with empathy
00:50:21.620 for this
00:50:23.760 older man,
00:50:26.240 he was
00:50:27.080 sitting behind
00:50:27.620 his desk,
00:50:28.160 usually he
00:50:28.820 would get
00:50:29.200 up and
00:50:29.580 he'd come
00:50:30.320 around his
00:50:30.760 desk and
00:50:31.140 he'd go,
00:50:31.600 young man,
00:50:33.100 good to
00:50:33.580 see you,
00:50:34.920 this time
00:50:35.560 he sat
00:50:36.140 behind his
00:50:36.780 desk,
00:50:37.120 didn't move,
00:50:37.720 and he
00:50:37.920 looked up,
00:50:39.040 and I
00:50:40.880 saw him
00:50:41.640 for who
00:50:42.740 I felt he
00:50:43.580 really was
00:50:44.340 for the
00:50:44.600 first time,
00:50:45.640 an absolute
00:50:46.680 genius,
00:50:47.560 who had
00:50:49.260 lost his
00:50:49.980 way,
00:50:51.820 who now
00:50:53.600 was kind
00:50:55.840 of questioning
00:50:56.500 everything that
00:50:57.400 he did
00:50:58.180 because he
00:51:00.020 knew he
00:51:01.420 wasn't,
00:51:02.080 he wasn't
00:51:03.580 the best
00:51:04.120 man he
00:51:04.540 could be,
00:51:06.440 he was,
00:51:07.380 he was a
00:51:07.880 really interesting
00:51:08.940 guy,
00:51:09.920 and he
00:51:12.780 said,
00:51:13.200 we've got
00:51:13.860 a lot to
00:51:14.800 talk about,
00:51:16.300 and,
00:51:17.560 I said,
00:51:18.620 Roger,
00:51:19.100 before we
00:51:19.540 do,
00:51:20.520 and this
00:51:20.860 was sincere,
00:51:22.580 I didn't
00:51:22.860 know where
00:51:23.340 it came,
00:51:23.620 I know now
00:51:24.120 where it
00:51:24.340 came from,
00:51:24.620 I didn't
00:51:25.000 know where
00:51:25.420 this came
00:51:25.860 from,
00:51:27.040 but I
00:51:27.620 was so,
00:51:28.520 I was so
00:51:31.040 deeply
00:51:32.020 empathetic
00:51:33.160 for him,
00:51:34.100 and I
00:51:35.000 said,
00:51:35.340 Roger,
00:51:35.820 I have a
00:51:36.760 feeling I
00:51:37.140 know where
00:51:37.380 this is
00:51:37.740 going,
00:51:38.580 but before
00:51:39.840 we get
00:51:40.200 into any
00:51:40.640 of that,
00:51:41.220 and whatever
00:51:42.960 happens,
00:51:43.520 happens,
00:51:44.320 let me
00:51:45.940 first just
00:51:46.640 thank you
00:51:47.300 for this,
00:51:49.100 he said,
00:51:49.400 what?
00:51:50.620 And I
00:51:51.080 said,
00:51:52.200 I believe
00:51:54.560 that America
00:51:55.320 wouldn't be
00:51:56.280 America today
00:51:57.440 if you
00:51:58.840 hadn't have
00:51:59.240 started Fox
00:51:59.900 News,
00:52:01.180 Fox News
00:52:03.080 didn't save
00:52:04.080 America,
00:52:04.700 but you
00:52:04.960 gave us
00:52:05.840 extra time,
00:52:07.100 you gave us
00:52:07.640 maybe 20
00:52:08.340 years,
00:52:08.900 maybe,
00:52:09.560 maybe,
00:52:10.140 after 9-11,
00:52:11.860 imagine America
00:52:12.960 without Fox
00:52:13.960 News,
00:52:14.300 without an
00:52:15.040 opposing voice,
00:52:16.320 or a voice
00:52:17.060 standing up,
00:52:19.340 imagine what
00:52:21.380 the country
00:52:21.820 would be
00:52:22.180 like.
00:52:23.700 I said,
00:52:24.320 without you,
00:52:26.740 Ronald Reagan
00:52:27.360 may not have
00:52:27.920 won.
00:52:30.160 You advised
00:52:31.140 him and gave
00:52:31.680 him great
00:52:32.360 advice that
00:52:33.780 helped him
00:52:34.340 win.
00:52:37.100 So,
00:52:37.840 thank you.
00:52:39.000 and I
00:52:41.740 looked at
00:52:42.160 him and
00:52:43.080 he had
00:52:43.360 tears in
00:52:43.920 his eyes
00:52:44.440 and he
00:52:46.080 could tell
00:52:46.620 that I
00:52:46.980 actually meant
00:52:47.840 that,
00:52:48.040 that that
00:52:48.280 wasn't some
00:52:48.820 ploy,
00:52:49.280 I actually
00:52:49.900 meant that
00:52:50.340 and he
00:52:50.580 said,
00:52:51.140 you mean
00:52:53.280 that,
00:52:53.660 don't you?
00:52:54.740 And I
00:52:55.140 said,
00:52:56.160 yeah,
00:52:57.580 and I'm
00:52:57.860 thinking to
00:52:58.180 myself,
00:52:58.640 strangely,
00:52:59.560 I do.
00:53:01.220 I've never
00:53:01.760 even thought
00:53:02.400 of it,
00:53:03.040 but yes,
00:53:04.140 I do.
00:53:07.180 He sat
00:53:07.760 there behind
00:53:08.140 his desk
00:53:08.620 and he
00:53:08.880 kind of
00:53:10.180 patted
00:53:11.060 his desk
00:53:11.620 for a
00:53:11.920 minute.
00:53:14.340 He said,
00:53:14.920 come on
00:53:15.120 over,
00:53:15.320 sit on
00:53:15.520 the couch,
00:53:15.900 I got to
00:53:16.180 talk to
00:53:16.420 you about
00:53:16.600 something.
00:53:18.140 And we
00:53:18.640 sat there
00:53:18.980 and we
00:53:19.220 talked about
00:53:19.720 nothing for
00:53:20.840 an hour,
00:53:22.020 nothing.
00:53:22.500 and then
00:53:26.080 I said,
00:53:26.920 well,
00:53:27.880 if there
00:53:28.480 isn't
00:53:28.880 anything
00:53:29.560 else,
00:53:30.260 I got to
00:53:30.700 get to
00:53:31.480 the floor
00:53:32.640 to do
00:53:33.320 the show.
00:53:34.500 And he
00:53:35.040 said,
00:53:35.320 oh yeah,
00:53:35.760 gosh,
00:53:36.000 I'm sorry
00:53:36.380 I held you
00:53:36.840 up for
00:53:37.120 so long.
00:53:38.760 And I
00:53:39.300 walked out.
00:53:41.740 Everybody
00:53:42.140 was outside
00:53:43.020 of the
00:53:43.420 building.
00:53:43.860 All my
00:53:44.080 whole staff
00:53:44.540 was outside
00:53:44.940 of the
00:53:45.160 building
00:53:45.420 waiting.
00:53:46.000 They're
00:53:46.100 like,
00:53:46.300 well,
00:53:46.420 what happened?
00:53:46.820 What happened?
00:53:47.180 What happened?
00:53:48.280 And I'm
00:53:48.520 like,
00:53:48.920 ah,
00:53:49.560 nothing
00:53:50.200 happened.
00:53:51.100 As I
00:53:52.440 walked
00:53:52.740 out,
00:53:53.500 I heard
00:53:54.340 him say,
00:53:55.280 get that
00:53:56.420 effing
00:53:56.820 Palin
00:53:57.280 on the
00:53:57.640 phone.
00:54:01.040 And that
00:54:01.840 was the
00:54:02.200 day that
00:54:02.700 Palin
00:54:03.140 had
00:54:04.440 problems
00:54:04.960 at Fox
00:54:05.600 that we
00:54:06.400 all are
00:54:06.760 aware of.
00:54:08.220 So,
00:54:09.000 why am I
00:54:09.880 telling you
00:54:10.300 this story
00:54:11.040 in relation
00:54:12.320 to Rush
00:54:13.320 Limbaugh?
00:54:14.580 Give me
00:54:15.280 60 seconds
00:54:15.980 and I'll
00:54:16.340 explain.
00:54:20.200 Okay,
00:54:21.100 you know,
00:54:21.420 we all
00:54:21.740 regret things
00:54:22.580 in life,
00:54:23.140 all of
00:54:23.480 us,
00:54:24.140 you know,
00:54:24.520 times we
00:54:25.380 tried to
00:54:26.360 do the
00:54:26.580 right thing
00:54:27.140 and we
00:54:27.660 didn't
00:54:28.220 make it,
00:54:28.840 times that
00:54:29.360 we,
00:54:30.560 you know,
00:54:30.760 we didn't
00:54:31.140 try to
00:54:31.540 do the
00:54:31.820 right thing
00:54:32.360 and we
00:54:32.960 accomplished
00:54:33.580 whatever it
00:54:34.180 was and we
00:54:34.680 feel horrible.
00:54:35.760 There is one
00:54:36.520 success,
00:54:37.260 however,
00:54:37.540 you may have
00:54:38.120 had in your
00:54:38.540 life that
00:54:39.220 you're like,
00:54:40.960 crap,
00:54:41.780 and that's
00:54:42.360 when you
00:54:42.740 were successful
00:54:43.460 at signing
00:54:44.240 that contract
00:54:44.920 for a

00:56:08.560 So why do I
00:56:09.460 tell you about
00:56:10.080 this with
00:56:10.880 Roger Ailes?
00:56:11.560 Megan Kelly
00:56:12.880 and I had
00:56:13.380 a great
00:56:14.000 conversation
00:56:14.620 recently about
00:56:15.740 Roger and
00:56:16.680 how complex
00:56:17.440 he was and
00:56:18.720 how there
00:56:19.580 was a side
00:56:20.120 of him that
00:56:20.800 I didn't
00:56:21.420 know that
00:56:22.120 was just
00:56:22.580 really dirt
00:56:23.520 bag central
00:56:24.240 but there
00:56:26.420 was another
00:56:26.760 side that
00:56:27.420 was amazing
00:56:28.320 he was
00:56:28.940 one of
00:56:29.320 the he's
00:56:30.380 one of
00:56:31.060 the greatest
00:56:31.960 thinkers I've
00:56:34.160 ever met
00:56:34.860 and when I
00:56:35.300 say thinker
00:56:35.920 I've met
00:56:36.260 other people
00:56:36.820 who are
00:56:37.260 you know
00:56:37.640 literal rocket
00:56:38.840 scientists
00:56:39.600 I mean
00:56:40.840 somebody who
00:56:41.600 understood
00:56:42.440 America at
00:56:43.780 its core
00:56:44.420 instinctually
00:56:45.640 instinctively
00:56:46.580 he just
00:56:47.480 knew it
00:56:48.140 he would have
00:56:50.120 been the
00:56:50.500 greatest
00:56:50.840 broadcaster
00:56:51.720 of all
00:56:52.760 time
00:56:53.140 he's the
00:56:56.100 producer of
00:56:57.200 the Rush Limbaugh
00:56:57.860 television show
00:56:58.720 Roger Ailes was
00:57:00.100 before there
00:57:01.880 was Fox News
00:57:02.800 that's one of the
00:57:03.880 things he was
00:57:04.540 doing
00:57:04.840 he believed
00:57:08.700 in an
00:57:10.040 America
00:57:10.560 that he
00:57:11.160 lived
00:57:11.860 that's not
00:57:13.360 to say he
00:57:13.780 believed in
00:57:14.340 you know
00:57:14.740 he told me
00:57:15.500 one time
00:57:15.980 hey
00:57:16.420 I know
00:57:17.720 we look
00:57:18.140 we both
00:57:18.500 believe in
00:57:18.880 the Constitution
00:57:19.420 but you
00:57:20.240 know
00:57:20.440 sometimes you
00:57:21.620 got to do
00:57:21.960 what you
00:57:22.200 got to do
00:57:22.640 and I
00:57:22.940 remember
00:57:23.340 saying
00:57:23.600 no
00:57:24.480 not when
00:57:25.040 it comes
00:57:25.300 to the
00:57:25.540 Constitution
00:57:26.100 you do
00:57:27.400 what it
00:57:27.960 says
00:57:28.660 period
00:57:29.600 but he
00:57:33.980 understood
00:57:34.380 America
00:57:35.020 and he
00:57:35.780 understood
00:57:36.120 the
00:57:36.360 entrepreneur
00:57:36.840 and he
00:57:39.200 understood
00:57:39.560 people who
00:57:40.320 could come
00:57:40.800 from nothing
00:57:41.540 and I
00:57:42.040 think that's
00:57:42.520 why
00:57:42.880 I think
00:57:43.700 that's
00:57:43.920 what he
00:57:44.140 saw in
00:57:44.520 Rush Limbaugh
00:57:45.160 and I
00:57:45.520 think that's
00:57:45.860 what Rush
00:57:46.220 Limbaugh
00:57:47.000 may have
00:57:47.360 seen in
00:57:47.720 him
00:57:47.940 and what
00:57:49.020 I saw
00:57:49.400 in him
00:57:49.840 Rush
00:57:52.840 had this
00:57:53.440 instinct
00:57:54.860 of
00:57:55.720 of what
00:57:57.640 America
00:57:58.180 was
00:57:58.860 thinking
00:57:59.460 and feeling
00:58:00.440 and wasn't
00:58:02.060 afraid to
00:58:02.740 be out
00:58:03.220 of step
00:58:03.880 it just
00:58:05.460 was him
00:58:06.400 it's who
00:58:06.960 he was
00:58:07.780 I tried
00:58:09.400 to think
00:58:09.760 of somebody
00:58:10.260 that I
00:58:10.580 could put
00:58:11.000 in his
00:58:11.460 category
00:58:11.980 because he's
00:58:12.540 one man
00:58:13.320 it's not
00:58:14.220 like Roger
00:58:14.640 Ailes in
00:58:15.000 Fox News
00:58:15.760 Roger Ailes
00:58:16.860 what he
00:58:17.160 accomplished
00:58:17.580 was a lot
00:58:18.360 but he
00:58:18.720 took a lot
00:58:19.440 of talent
00:58:20.100 to do
00:58:20.780 that
00:58:21.140 this is
00:58:22.240 one man
00:58:23.180 and one
00:58:23.920 man's
00:58:24.440 talent
00:58:24.880 one show
00:58:26.300 three hours
00:58:27.560 a day
00:58:28.080 look at
00:58:30.340 how
00:58:30.600 different
00:58:31.200 we are
00:58:32.440 because of
00:58:33.500 Rush Limbaugh
00:58:34.020 think of
00:58:34.800 what we
00:58:35.280 know
00:58:35.900 because of
00:58:36.700 Rush Limbaugh
00:58:37.380 think of
00:58:38.560 the number
00:58:38.860 of jobs
00:58:39.740 saved
00:58:40.600 because of
00:58:41.420 Rush Limbaugh
00:58:42.240 can you
00:58:44.800 think of
00:58:45.220 anyone
00:58:45.700 who has
00:58:46.660 impacted
00:58:47.620 the culture
00:58:48.280 as one
00:58:49.300 man
00:58:50.200 Martin Luther
00:58:51.420 King had
00:58:51.820 a team
00:58:52.140 around him
00:58:52.740 I'm not
00:58:53.960 comparing the
00:58:54.640 two
00:58:54.920 I'm just
00:58:56.020 trying to
00:58:56.360 think who
00:58:56.820 I thought
00:58:58.520 last night
00:58:58.920 maybe Johnny
00:58:59.740 Carson
00:59:00.120 maybe
00:59:00.780 but Carson
00:59:01.580 was just
00:59:02.360 an entertainer
00:59:03.440 Carson
00:59:04.860 changed a lot
00:59:05.800 of things
00:59:06.320 but
00:59:06.820 it wasn't
00:59:08.980 fundamental
00:59:11.480 principles
00:59:12.380 of life
00:59:13.280 he impacted
00:59:15.480 the culture
00:59:16.160 but it
00:59:16.560 was
00:59:16.940 there was
00:59:19.080 no depth
00:59:19.720 to it
00:59:20.280 it was
00:59:20.660 important
00:59:21.300 but it
00:59:22.480 wasn't
00:59:22.760 essential
00:59:23.340 can you
00:59:26.800 think of
00:59:27.180 anyone
00:59:27.680 that had
00:59:28.440 this impact
00:59:29.480 as one
00:59:30.400 human being
00:59:31.200 they say
00:59:31.780 you don't
00:59:33.260 know the
00:59:33.800 impact
00:59:34.340 one person
00:59:35.140 can have
00:59:35.880 he's a
00:59:37.560 great
00:59:38.140 example
00:59:38.780 of that
00:59:39.420 I don't
00:59:53.860 think people
00:59:54.380 because
00:59:55.640 those who
00:59:56.820 didn't listen
00:59:57.520 to him
00:59:58.060 were the
00:59:59.160 ones who
00:59:59.640 had the
01:00:00.020 loudest
01:00:00.460 opinions
01:00:01.040 I don't
01:00:04.760 think people
01:00:05.180 knew who
01:00:05.720 Rush
01:00:06.080 really was
01:00:07.820 as I
01:00:09.860 said
01:00:10.300 in the
01:00:11.040 opening
01:00:11.300 monologue
01:00:11.700 last hour
01:00:12.320 that
01:00:12.620 Rush
01:00:13.220 was
01:00:13.700 a quiet
01:00:14.980 guy
01:00:15.360 he
01:00:16.920 listened
01:00:17.420 he was
01:00:19.440 a loyal
01:00:19.980 guy
01:00:20.440 most of
01:00:21.280 his staff
01:00:21.800 has been
01:00:22.180 with him
01:00:22.500 for
01:00:22.740 20 years
01:00:24.060 25 years
01:00:25.160 some of
01:00:25.560 them 30
01:00:26.080 years
01:00:26.680 he had
01:00:27.860 a 32
01:00:28.340 year career
01:00:29.140 to have
01:00:31.340 staff members
01:00:32.000 with you
01:00:32.400 for 30
01:00:33.100 of those
01:00:33.580 32
01:00:34.080 that's
01:00:34.580 pretty
01:00:34.960 remarkable
01:00:35.520 he's
01:00:39.560 the only
01:00:39.880 guy
01:00:40.220 they say
01:00:40.600 oh he
01:00:40.960 sold out
01:00:41.540 for money
01:00:42.320 he said
01:00:43.460 these things
01:00:43.860 for money
01:00:44.480 did he
01:00:44.960 you know
01:00:46.340 what he
01:00:46.560 didn't
01:00:46.820 abandon
01:00:47.200 not only
01:00:47.960 what his
01:00:48.500 core
01:00:48.840 beliefs
01:00:49.280 were
01:00:49.560 but he
01:00:49.840 never
01:00:50.060 abandoned
01:00:50.500 the
01:00:50.680 relationship
01:00:51.180 of AM
01:00:51.720 and FM
01:00:52.120 radio
01:00:52.660 satellite
01:00:55.520 radio
01:00:56.100 podcasting
01:00:57.800 all of
01:00:59.360 that stuff
01:00:59.780 was derivative
01:01:00.380 in fact
01:01:01.240 we were
01:01:01.560 just talking
01:01:02.060 about it
01:01:02.560 name the
01:01:03.840 person
01:01:04.300 who could
01:01:05.140 die
01:01:05.540 and it's
01:01:06.660 broken
01:01:07.540 kept
01:01:08.420 completely
01:01:09.300 silent
01:01:10.200 until his
01:01:11.980 own show
01:01:12.540 he was
01:01:14.020 about
01:01:14.660 his show
01:01:16.260 you know
01:01:21.760 why people
01:01:22.140 like
01:01:22.600 Rush Limbaugh
01:01:23.280 you know
01:01:24.120 why people
01:01:24.440 believe him
01:01:25.220 because
01:01:26.980 beyond all
01:01:28.120 of the
01:01:28.580 bluster
01:01:29.220 he was
01:01:33.020 genuine
01:01:33.680 he
01:01:38.260 has been
01:01:39.700 incredibly
01:01:40.640 charitable
01:01:41.280 but most
01:01:41.900 people don't
01:01:42.440 know about
01:01:42.940 it
01:01:43.120 most people
01:01:45.860 don't know
01:01:46.380 that when
01:01:47.140 you went
01:01:47.480 to lunch
01:01:48.140 or dinner
01:01:48.500 with Rush
01:01:49.120 Limbaugh
01:01:49.540 if it was
01:01:52.900 exceptional
01:01:53.440 service
01:01:54.020 or if he
01:01:55.400 found out
01:01:55.800 something about
01:01:56.380 the server
01:01:57.580 that
01:01:57.960 was
01:01:59.620 unique
01:02:00.600 special
01:02:01.200 the tip
01:02:03.340 would be
01:02:03.680 remarkable

01:10:20.760 few
01:10:20.860 weeks
01:10:21.100 ago
01:10:21.400 that he

01:10:24.880 sees
01:10:25.300 himself
01:10:25.660 as a
01:10:26.000 political
01:10:26.360 failure
01:10:26.860 he

01:10:30.580 has
01:10:30.900 been
01:10:31.460 enormously

01:10:36.980 part
01:10:37.240 of
01:10:37.360 me
01:10:37.460 that
01:10:37.640 feels
01:10:37.880 like

01:10:38.260 failed
01:10:38.700 in
01:10:38.920 such
01:10:39.160 a
01:10:39.380 major
01:10:39.700 way
01:10:40.220 in
01:10:41.720 30
01:10:42.080 years
01:10:42.620 I've
01:10:44.180 tried
01:10:44.380 to
01:10:44.540 convince
01:10:44.880 people
01:10:45.260 try
01:10:45.520 to
01:10:45.660 persuade
01:10:46.100 people
01:10:46.560 try
01:10:47.380 to
01:10:47.580 encourage
01:10:48.160 people
01:10:48.620 to
01:10:49.380 critically
01:10:49.960 think
01:10:50.600 on
01:10:50.900 their
01:10:51.060 own
01:10:51.260 to
01:10:51.440 realize
01:10:52.080 the
01:10:52.440 difference
01:10:53.060 between
01:10:54.040 a
01:10:54.500 conservative
01:10:55.040 and a
01:10:55.600 liberal
01:10:55.860 the
01:10:56.120 difference
01:10:56.600 between
01:10:56.940 republicans
01:10:57.720 and
01:10:57.900 democrats
01:10:58.340 as it
01:10:59.080 relates
01:10:59.960 to
01:11:00.560 conservative
01:11:01.100 principles
01:11:01.840 versus
01:11:02.260 liberal
01:11:02.740 principles
01:11:03.360 I think
01:11:08.140 anybody
01:11:08.460 who honestly
01:11:09.180 does their
01:11:09.760 job
01:11:10.220 feels that
01:11:11.160 way
01:11:11.440 somebody
01:11:13.100 who's
01:11:13.300 doing it
01:11:13.620 for the
01:11:13.860 money
01:11:14.120 someone
01:11:14.480 who's
01:11:14.660 doing it
01:11:14.960 for the
01:11:15.180 fame
01:11:15.520 they don't
01:11:16.800 feel that
01:11:17.180 way
01:11:17.480 I think
01:11:21.340 almost all
01:11:21.940 of us
01:11:22.340 in talk
01:11:22.920 radio
01:11:23.260 feel that
01:11:24.180 way
01:11:24.440 what else
01:11:27.560 could we
01:11:27.900 have
01:11:28.040 done
01:11:28.380 how come
01:11:31.720 this
01:11:32.000 hasn't
01:11:32.300 made
01:11:32.680 the
01:11:33.140 impact
01:11:33.600 that we
01:11:33.940 hope
01:11:34.200 but what
01:11:35.700 rush was
01:11:36.260 missing
01:11:36.620 and what
01:11:37.020 sometimes
01:11:37.480 I fail
01:11:38.100 to
01:11:38.400 see
01:11:39.520 and
01:11:39.780 others
01:11:40.380 is that
01:11:44.640 we're not
01:11:45.120 a collective
01:11:45.700 we believe
01:11:49.080 in the
01:11:49.360 individual
01:11:49.920 we believe
01:11:53.700 one
01:11:54.060 individual
01:11:54.520 can
01:11:54.840 change
01:11:55.160 the
01:11:55.320 world
01:11:55.680 and
01:12:00.320 that's
01:12:00.600 where
01:12:00.740 our
01:12:00.900 change
01:12:01.240 comes
01:12:01.560 from
01:12:01.920 somewhere
01:12:05.040 out
01:12:05.400 there
01:12:05.700 there
01:12:07.660 is
01:12:07.800 somebody
01:12:08.040 who
01:12:08.300 has
01:12:08.520 been
01:12:09.020 deeply
01:12:09.540 profoundly
01:12:10.260 changed
01:12:10.800 by
01:12:11.020 Rush Limbaugh
01:12:11.580 somebody
01:12:13.160 who's
01:12:13.460 been
01:12:13.700 deeply
01:12:14.140 and
01:12:14.360 profoundly
01:12:14.860 changed
01:12:15.560 by
01:12:16.000 Mark
01:12:16.620 Levin
01:12:17.020 Steven
01:12:19.060 Crowder
01:12:19.580 Ben
01:12:21.740 Shapiro
01:12:22.320 all of
01:12:27.380 those names
01:12:27.840 I just
01:12:28.180 gave you
01:12:28.680 owe
01:12:30.600 100%
01:12:31.880 their
01:12:33.400 career
01:12:33.880 100%
01:12:35.160 to
01:12:36.280 Rush Limbaugh
01:12:37.020 Mount Rushmore
01:12:44.280 of radio
01:12:45.120 could be
01:12:47.060 carved
01:12:47.880 today
01:12:49.040 on it
01:12:52.180 would be
01:12:55.180 Rush Limbaugh
01:12:55.840 on it
01:13:00.140 would be
01:13:02.320 Paul Harvey
01:13:03.140 on the
01:13:06.780 radio
01:13:07.140 Mount Rushmore
01:13:08.080 would be
01:13:08.480 Don Imus
01:13:09.240 and
01:13:12.460 probably
01:13:12.900 in the
01:13:13.320 Washington
01:13:13.920 position
01:13:15.200 would be
01:13:15.600 Bob Hope
01:13:16.160 those
01:13:20.840 four
01:13:21.380 men
01:13:22.140 and
01:13:22.540 really
01:13:23.420 the only
01:13:24.200 one that I
01:13:24.700 would question
01:13:25.220 would be
01:13:25.620 Paul Harvey
01:13:26.360 because
01:13:27.420 Paul Harvey
01:13:30.520 really
01:13:31.620 kind of
01:13:32.180 stepped
01:13:32.560 into
01:13:32.920 the
01:13:33.260 shoes
01:13:33.700 of
01:13:34.100 what's
01:13:35.180 his
01:13:35.300 name
01:13:35.520 good
01:13:35.720 night
01:13:35.900 good
01:13:36.080 luck
01:13:36.480 Edward R
01:13:40.020 Murrow
01:13:40.300 he did
01:13:41.820 news
01:13:42.120 and brought
01:13:42.580 news
01:13:43.440 in a
01:13:44.620 different
01:13:44.980 way
01:13:45.320 but in
01:13:45.660 my
01:13:45.920 generation
01:13:46.500 it
01:13:46.820 would
01:13:46.940 be
01:13:47.100 Paul
01:13:47.340 Harvey
01:13:47.680 I
01:13:53.320 thought
01:13:53.600 today
01:13:54.080 and
01:13:56.180 yesterday
01:13:56.600 if

01:13:58.580 old
01:13:58.800 enough
01:13:59.180 you
01:14:01.060 may
01:14:01.420 have
01:14:01.640 reached
01:14:01.900 the
01:14:02.080 point
01:14:02.320 to

01:15:19.200 knockoff
01:15:19.840 in many
01:15:20.900 ways
01:15:21.260 of

01:15:39.680 I
01:15:39.920 met
01:15:40.440 Rush

01:15:48.600 and
01:15:49.280 more

01:15:55.260 he
01:15:56.380 was
01:15:56.620 personally
01:15:57.400 responsible
01:16:00.120 for my
01:16:01.060 career
01:16:01.420 I'll
01:16:04.860 talk about
01:16:05.260 that next
01:16:05.700 hour

01:16:24.320 changed
01:16:24.940 her

01:16:28.460 think
01:16:28.760 all of
01:16:29.500 the
01:16:29.620 problems
01:16:30.060 of the
01:16:31.240 world
01:16:31.400 today
01:16:31.600 and they
01:16:31.860 are
01:16:32.000 big
01:16:32.480 they're
01:16:33.700 going to
01:16:33.820 be there
01:16:34.060 tomorrow
01:16:34.400 world
01:16:35.260 is still
01:16:35.840 going to
01:16:36.080 be on
01:16:36.380 fire
01:16:36.700 and
01:16:37.340 there's
01:16:37.660 probably
01:16:38.040 going to
01:16:38.260 be a
01:16:38.500 few
01:16:38.620 more
01:16:38.880 fires
01:16:39.340 as
01:16:39.680 well
01:16:39.960 today
01:16:42.560 I
01:16:43.400 think
01:16:43.620 we
01:16:43.760 should
01:16:43.940 focus
01:16:44.400 on
01:16:45.080 the
01:16:46.020 power
01:16:46.400 of
01:16:46.600 the
01:16:46.720 individual
01:16:47.260 the
01:16:47.880 power
01:16:48.180 of
01:16:48.380 one
01:16:48.680 man
01:16:49.080 the
01:16:49.360 power
01:16:49.640 of
01:16:49.860 one
01:16:50.120 voice
01:16:50.680 and

01:18:55.880 Rush
01:18:56.460 Limbaugh
01:18:57.000 today
01:18:57.540 I know
01:18:58.020 next hour
01:18:58.420 you're going to spend some time talking about the foundations of the show
01:19:00.780 and how you know Rush Limbaugh was very intimately involved in that
01:19:04.400 um going back a few years but um I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh
01:19:09.280 after high school and I wanted to get into radio but I really wanted to do kind of sports or you know comedy stuff and um I remember sitting on the beach in Fort Lauderdale after high school you know no money like the only thing I could do is go to a free beach and I had like a Walkman and listening to Rush Limbaugh not really ever thinking about politics all that much and I just remember him bringing up these arguments or callers
01:19:37.680 bringing up these arguments that were like liberal points and you know like when you watch like law and order where like the prosecution makes their case and you totally think that that's true and then the defense makes their case and they totally like they totally bring you back and forth and I remember him you know these points would be made by liberals and I didn't know anything about politics and they seemed like good points and he had an answer for every one of them
01:19:58.700 every single one of them he had the answer for and it always made much more sense than the initial point and he could he would he had that unique ability
01:20:07.620 to be able to within a couple of sentences show how ridiculously absurd the leftist point was on any given topic this is why they worked so hard and spent so much time and money to make him into a monster because they needed to put an electric fence around him you couldn't let anyone into his audience and listen that's why they never debated
01:20:33.780 anything he did anything he actually said yeah because he was so effective so that's why I said earlier Rush didn't do his show for the people who didn't listen you can't do that and that's the left because early on the left did listen to him and they realized this why they dubbed him the most dangerous man in America because they knew if you listen to him you'd have that experience you'd be like oh my gosh everything I thought I knew is wrong
01:21:01.780 wait a minute that works and that works and that works with this this and this and and and that's that's the biggest Rush Limbaugh was very successful in any possible way you could count it
01:21:15.920 but the left was also very successful in convincing half the country that he was an absolute monster monster he wasn't he wasn't
01:21:28.840 this is their only defense yeah was to pull him out of context and make him toxic I'm gonna give you a I'm gonna give you an honest liberal uh diehard head of the national organization of women for a while and how Rush Limbaugh changed her coming up I want to talk to you a little bit about the zebra.com insurance can be complicated and that's why the zebra was created when you see the zebra.com insurance will finally feel like it's in black and white

01:23:29.640 burnt down overnight we can wait a day i think it's important that we give rush limbaugh
01:23:35.480 the credit that rush limbaugh deserved uh he was a childlike you know christ said come to me as a child
01:23:47.160 i think in some ways rush limbaugh was like that uh every time the pretenders theme played he became
01:23:55.340 playful and childlike when meeting listeners or standing in front of an audience receiving a standing
01:24:01.880 ovation when having simple friends over for dinner always childlike never childish
01:24:10.520 it stemmed from he loved what he did he loved people and when that golden mic was turned on so was he
01:24:21.000 it was 12 p.m eastern every day where he would enter the gates of his own self-built disney world
01:24:31.880 for the very first time we honor this hour rush limbaugh in 60 seconds
01:24:42.440 the glenbeck program all right i want to talk to you a little bit about relief factor uh i used to be

01:27:26.040 they were boring as snot and i got into it because i wanted to make fun of all of it and i saw things
01:27:33.320 in a completely different way i think rush limbaugh did the same thing in a way he was making fun of
01:27:38.920 the media and he mocked all of that
01:27:47.480 most people don't know that
01:27:49.640 the roots of this show really kind of stem back to florida and and rush limbaugh
01:28:01.080 uh i knew the first time we ever did a talk radio show stew will verify that this is true because he
01:28:08.440 it was just like he was so sick of me and this is like 19 what 98 97 we did our first talk radio
01:28:16.760 show and it was just it was for like an hour two hours maybe and i took my headphones off
01:28:24.520 after the first break and i looked at him and he was running the board and helping produce and i
01:28:29.000 looked at him over the board and i said we're gonna replace dr laura and he said what and i said
01:28:37.080 this show is gonna replace dr laura and he said how about we finish our first show
01:28:44.360 and i told him i said mark my words well the first time i i was on kind of a job interview i had done
01:28:54.600 shows for wabc and i'd filled in here and there and but nobody would give me a job and uh
01:29:03.160 uh i changed my life i was really struggling in the 90s i changed my life i was an alcoholic
01:29:11.240 i was i was going on five years sober i had found a an amazing woman that loved me and uh also was
01:29:21.720 just really good for me and then i met my wife too no i'm kidding uh but i married her tanya and
01:29:30.040 my life changed but i couldn't get a job
01:29:37.880 i get baptized and the the day after my baptism i just remember this because of the i i tried for
01:29:44.600 two years to try to get somebody to to you know represent me i talked to everybody i couldn't get
01:29:50.600 anybody to represent me and uh it was a monday afternoon and my phone rings at my apartment and uh
01:29:57.800 uh guy on the other side of the phone said uh hey i understand you're looking for an agent
01:30:04.360 and i said uh yeah i have been for two years and he said uh my name is george hiltzik he was the
01:30:12.760 biggest agent of radio at the time by far by far he had done everything in his career he was an nbc
01:30:20.920 executive he was part of the original uh saturday night live legal team a legend george is a legend
01:30:28.040 he's a legend uh he's a legend but anyway he calls me up and he said uh well i uh i heard from uh
01:30:38.040 jack swanson at kgo that maybe i would i should pay attention to you uh and i said okay well thanks and he
01:30:46.520 said well jack's the guy who passed on rush limbaugh so let's not get too excited joking
01:30:54.120 and i said uh well that's great what do we do and he said well i want to check you out
01:30:59.640 i want to check you out and he said uh i've heard many things about you good and bad
01:31:04.360 he calls me back on wednesday and he said all right i'll take you on now i i'm thinking to myself
01:31:12.040 over the last couple of days i'm thinking to myself there's a chance this guy won't take ten
01:31:15.880 percent of my money and uh i said that to george he said i'll take you on i said really honestly
01:31:22.200 i've been thinking about this for a while you mean to tell me that you would pass up ten percent of
01:31:26.920 what i'm already making because you wanted to check me out and see and he said you're entering a new
01:31:33.160 territory he said you want to go into talk radio he said you can't be a fraud in talk radio and i've
01:31:40.680 heard stories about you in the past but i understand that you're trying to change your life you've
01:31:45.880 sobered up you're stable and you're a good man and i said wow well thank you yes i am and he said
01:31:56.520 well that's why i'm taking you on because no one can fake who they are for three hours without a script
01:32:04.600 every day the audience is too smart they will figure you out and you're done he said and i've wasted my time
01:32:14.920 so i take that job i i take him as a as a client i get a job at wfla in florida
01:32:22.520 and i i had to do kind of a uh kind of a job tryout before and what they decided to do was to let me do my
01:32:34.760 first network show i had never i mean i like what did we have 20 shows in our back pocket that we had done
01:32:43.720 and uh and they said we want you to do this uh this uh network show and rush limbaugh has allowed
01:32:52.520 you has allowed us to uh put you into his studio in new york city and i'm like wait wait what
01:32:59.960 so i go in to the rush limbaugh studios and stew and i'll never forget this giant oil painting there's
01:33:06.120 a picture i think i tweeted today giant oil painting of rush behind the microphone and there's the golden
01:33:13.640 microphone and stew and i look at each other like i can't believe this and i did my first show
01:33:23.960 because of his kindness of letting us use that studio two years go by i'm working in florida and
01:33:31.240 we went from worst to first actually we went from worse to a lot worse uh to first in a two-year period
01:33:40.840 and um there was this one week and i don't even know i don't even know if i've asked you this did
01:33:47.640 you know who was on that phone line that week you don't even remember this so uh one week just before
01:33:58.120 premiere offers me a position uh the phone line uh at w uh fla is tied up all week during my show
01:34:09.240 started at three o'clock was over at seven one phone line was tied up and i didn't know why
01:34:16.520 and nobody would tell me
01:34:19.320 well i find out later that rush limbaugh was listening to my show every day that week
01:34:27.960 good thing they didn't tell me that would have freaked me out
01:34:33.560 uh but he was he had been asked to listen to my show by premiere
01:34:41.240 now i find this out later
01:34:44.600 the head of premiere craig kitchen goes down to florida to meet with rush
01:34:52.440 and rush knows that the meeting is about me
01:34:56.520 and craig said to me uh later after we started to really know each other
01:35:05.240 we were talking about this bogus with talent alone from god
01:35:12.200 and how how much of an act that was how humble he really was in person how quiet he was in person
01:35:20.520 he wasn't that beat his chest guy that that part was an act but his listeners knew that
01:35:27.880 they're in on the they're in on the joke in on the joke um
01:35:32.920 and he said in fact
01:35:35.560 you know we had to ask rush for permission out of courtesy
01:35:40.200 to hire you and i said what they said yeah he listened
01:35:48.440 a few weeks ago you know when you were
01:35:51.960 when you were you know on the air before we
01:35:55.320 before we offered you this gig
01:35:57.640 he listened we asked him to listen and i remember the phone line i'm like oh my gosh that's who it was
01:36:02.360 they had him listen for a week because they had so much deference for him because i was going to be
01:36:10.840 before him on the network they wanted to make sure that rush was okay with the lead in
01:36:18.520 apparently he said yes but the point of the story is is while he was sitting there at dinner when craig
01:36:23.960 sat down the first thing he said was it's been a good run it's been a great run
01:36:31.640 craig hasn't it and craig said yeah it has it's like we've accomplished a lot
01:36:39.160 and i'm i'm comfortable so don't worry about it
01:36:45.880 you know not everybody lasts you know forever
01:36:51.560 he actually thought that he was having dinner because they were going to say to him it's over
01:36:58.680 are you kidding me most people don't last 30 years in this business but rush limbaugh didn't
01:37:07.560 know he wasn't most people he still had the excitement and he still had the humility
01:37:16.200 to go it could be over at any time that's hard for somebody who's worth 600 million dollars
01:37:26.200 that's hard for somebody who has 27 million listeners a week to put that into perspective
01:37:33.720 colbert has about 3 million a night rush had 27 million a week
01:37:40.840 do the math how humble he really was
01:37:51.000 more in a second
01:37:53.400 all right you sick twisted freak our sponsor is built bar day 49 of weight loss regime dear diary
01:38:04.520 exercising went really well today i sat on the couch and watched an aerobics video for close to an hour
01:38:10.440 i have to say my heart rate was up it was an old jane fonda exercise movie and uh boy holy cow
01:38:19.080 oof that was bad i don't know why people are always complaining about you know exercising i mean it
01:38:27.640 they're always complaining they looked like they were worn out at the end but i sat there eating some
01:38:32.840 some uh cheetos and eating some potato chips i didn't even break a sweat i had to be down 50 pounds
01:38:41.640 and i don't know a week because i'm exercising finally actually i didn't have any of the potato

01:39:29.080 now at builtbar.com 10 seconds station id
01:39:47.800 golly well we have uh spent most of the show except for the last what 38 minutes now talking about
01:39:59.080 the late and truly great rush limbaugh and uh
01:40:07.640 what's frightening is as i said earlier you remember when you were at the ones at the head
01:40:12.680 or you were at the kids table and now you find yourself at the head of the table you know if
01:40:18.280 you're 50 60 years old and all the older people are are dying off you're like oh crap i'm the next for the
01:40:25.720 the dirt vault and uh and there's there was a lot of wisdom there at the table that now is lost
01:40:35.080 and i look at i look at all of us who remain who are now
01:40:43.400 what supposed to fill his shoes nobody can fill those
01:40:46.200 i look at us and we're all bluffing all of us are bluffing no matter what anybody says
01:40:52.840 they have no idea what they're doing they have no idea what they're doing
01:40:56.760 oh maybe it's maybe it's just me maybe i'm the only one bluffing and they're all experts but i don't
01:41:01.800 think so uh and uh i feel badly for the next generation uh if there is a next generation because
01:41:13.320 you're having to you're having to learn from us good luck good luck with that so in the long run
01:41:20.280 kids what i'm saying is he was very optimistic but i don't think he paid that much attention to what was
01:41:27.640 following him so when it comes to good talk radio because now it's up to us
01:41:35.640 and it's more than just talk radio right i mean you know rush was so central to the conservative movement
01:41:42.120 i mean he was basically the head of it post reagan i mean it was basically rush limbaugh as the head of
01:41:49.640 the movement and you know he leaves a huge gap there you know i mean rush limbaugh is largely
01:41:57.000 the reason i'm a conservative i mean i coming out of high school i didn't
01:42:01.640 pay attention to politics at all reagan was for me but but limbaugh cemented things like you i knew
01:42:09.320 what i believed but i really hadn't you know the thing that was so frustrating with with rush was when
01:42:13.720 you would talk to friends before rush limbaugh was the anti-christ you'd talk to friends and you
01:42:19.560 would say you got to listen to this guy you got to listen to him yeah you'd be debating something
01:42:23.480 you'd be talking about and you're like i i can't say it like he says it i you just you have to listen
01:42:28.440 and that's the only frustrating thing is uh you know we're not all rush limbaugh no he was really
01:42:36.840 really good at this but you know he was that that approach was possible back then too you could win
01:42:42.360 people over by having people listen to rush limbaugh yeah because that's why they destroyed
01:42:46.760 him that's why they did it and of course you know partially because of things like social media where
01:42:51.080 things get taken out of context it wasn't what yeah i know you know most of the people you've
01:42:56.120 heard over the past couple days who are just dancing on rush limbaugh's grave in a grotesque ways
01:43:00.920 that i don't remember ever doing to a to a liberal um but you know the people reveal themselves in
01:43:07.800 these moments but they're dancing on his grave and most of them have literally never heard one
01:43:14.680 show not even an hour of rush limbaugh they've taken in only media matters bull crap uh sort of
01:43:21.160 clips out of context you know whatever bad joke they think he made 10 years ago that's been repeated
01:43:26.760 a thousand times and when you listen to him as a whole you realize that he was a broadcaster
01:43:33.000 entertainer a very smart person who was incredibly well read over a multitude of topics and a person
01:43:41.160 who could break down things into into little chunks that people could understand but as you point out
01:43:48.200 it's not just that it's not just a couple clever tweets that you could pull off today it's you know 15
01:43:53.800 hours a week uh without a script i mean yeah these hollywood types these even news anchors anybody that
01:44:02.120 you watch you have no idea you have no idea how few people can do what rush limbaugh did
01:44:10.360 talking without a script being able to do it for three hours uh that takes real intellectual heft
01:44:21.320 and then there's people like me that just kind of every day i'm like how the hell am i still on the

01:46:05.480 cemented in by playing all kinds of bad things that he have said that he has said uh either in
01:46:12.120 jest or in mistakes that he uh later apologized for um you know it doesn't matter to people anymore if
01:46:21.080 it's even true it doesn't matter anymore uh and he may be the last example of of somebody who's just
01:46:31.160 uh really bulletproof really bulletproof and even he had some scary times i was we were supposed to
01:46:40.280 be with him the day he lost his monday night football gig and uh that was a really weird day um and uh
01:46:50.440 and you know yet he had carved himself a place where he could you know continue to do what he did

01:47:27.080 wednesday night special on uh national suicide and what's actually killing our kids and i started
01:47:34.680 the show with christopher rue folks we started with the um non-literal suicide the national suicide
01:47:41.400 that that really comes from critical race theory christopher is the contributing editor for the
01:47:47.160 city journal and the director of center on wealth and poverty he is the guy who is really responsible for
01:47:53.400 for for rooting this out and and letting people know what critical race theory is and how deeply
01:48:00.920 embedded in the system if you missed last night's show we talked about um this curriculum that is in
01:48:07.720 public schools up in new york uh and they identify the eight white identities uh that you have and it starts
01:48:17.880 at white supremacist and then i think the i think one of them is a race trader and that's on the good
01:48:24.360 side of the scale by the way if you're a race trader if you're selling out the white race it's
01:48:28.680 it's it's crazy um i wanted to bring christopher back this is the only thing that we have done today
01:48:34.840 that is not uh related to rush limbaugh because i think this is so important chris welcome to the program
01:48:41.800 it's great to be with you thank you um first of all any thoughts on rush limbaugh did you listen to
01:48:48.440 yeah you know i i i didn't you know i i grew up actually uh i don't know if you know this glenn as
01:48:53.480 a kind of uh liberal bohemian in california that was my upbringing and really political orientation for
01:49:00.120 for most of my youth and then i started kind of questioning those assumptions it started to not
01:49:05.720 match with reality i started veering more towards the center and uh i wrote one of my first pieces for
01:49:10.520 city journal um where i was still kind of in the center maybe center right and rush read it on air
01:49:15.720 i got a flood of emails and it was very strange because i had been grown up hearing all of these
01:49:20.200 bad things about rush limbaugh and then i started listening i said oh interesting i rush limbaugh's
01:49:25.480 reading my story i started listening i said man what you heat what people in california and the people
01:49:30.680 that are spewing so much venom on twitter here is so different than what you actually hear from his words
01:49:36.840 and uh i i became a a fan uh subsequently and um you know it was very sad uh to hear the news yeah
01:49:44.040 i wanted to get tammy bruce maybe we get tammy bruce see if we can get tammy bruce on the show tomorrow
01:49:47.960 she tweeted something she was very very you know she was the head of the national organization of women
01:49:52.680 for a while and then she met rush limbaugh and uh it changed her life and she said the same thing
01:49:58.920 everything i believed and everything i had been told about him and his audience just wasn't true
01:50:04.120 um let's talk about critical race theory because i am getting uh messages from people who want to know
01:50:11.560 i have to go into a critical race theory kind of thing in my office and they'll fire me if i say
01:50:18.200 anything i saw accenture i think let a 30-year partner go because he spoke up against this and said
01:50:25.800 we shouldn't be doing any of this tell me about how critical race theory is going to be affecting
01:50:32.040 people if it hasn't already in their places of business and what they should do
01:50:37.960 yeah i mean if it if it isn't already in your workplace and your workplace is like a large
01:50:42.920 corporation a publicly owned firm it's coming and it's going to come under the guise of diversity
01:50:48.680 equity and inclusion programs which which sound great um but sometimes are really aggressive
01:50:55.480 uh propaganda and indoctrination campaigns can you can can you stay first what what the
01:51:01.880 difference between equality which our constitution talks about and equity which is critical race
01:51:08.360 theory what is the difference because they sound the same and people think ah equity equality it's
01:51:13.240 the same it's not yeah equality is the idea that we're all created uh equal under god and that we
01:51:19.880 the government uh should protect individual rights regardless of race creed color religion etc um
01:51:27.640 um and essentially it's the equal protection under the law equity is the critical race theorists
01:51:33.560 basically say hey equality hasn't worked we still have large racial disparities uh there's still kind
01:51:39.000 of systemic racism in society so they've abandoned the idea of equality treating people equally and
01:51:45.400 replaced it with equity which is treating groups as units and then trying to equalize outcomes based on
01:51:52.040 group identity um so it's a very kind of quick way to think about it is equality is something like
01:51:58.200 the equality of opportunity and equity uh is the equality of results uh which we've seen um over and
01:52:05.160 over in the 20th century lead to uh human and uh social disaster okay so i'm in my office thank god this
01:52:14.120 isn't happening at my company but i'm in i'm in my office and i get a note that says i have to attend
01:52:19.960 this racial diversity and equity class and i want nothing of it and maybe there are people in
01:52:28.200 my office but no one will say anything what do i do and what what happens if nobody does stand up against
01:52:38.600 it well there's a couple there's a couple things you can do one is if you feel confident enough and you
01:52:45.880 feel like you have the conviction to do so you can stand up you can speak out you can send a a letter
01:52:52.360 to the hr department letting them know that uh these theories don't actually lead to better outcomes in
01:52:57.640 the business literature uh they they put the firm at legal risk for lawsuits um and that they conflict
01:53:04.200 with your own deeply held beliefs how do wait wait how do how do they open up the firm for lawsuits
01:53:10.840 well you know i'm working on this uh but i think there's a strong case to be made and there's some
01:53:17.400 uh some kind of analogies in case law that if critical race theory for example traffics and
01:53:23.560 racial stereotypes they say white people can be reduced to the essence of whiteness and it's
01:53:28.840 it's analogous with oppression um you know that's a violation of the civil rights act if they compel
01:53:35.320 speech especially in public institutions um that's also a violation of the law and then if it creates
01:53:41.640 a toxic work environment which in many cases it does it's pitting people against each other
01:53:45.960 um it's it's it's creating a kind of race-based harassment which is a protected category again these
01:53:52.040 are all actual violations of the law and i think big companies are maybe the the quickest to potentially
01:53:58.920 change uh change tack because uh their legal departments if this starts becoming a cost center
01:54:05.640 if it starts becoming a legal risk if they start fearing lawsuits um they're going to probably disband
01:54:11.080 a lot of these programs pretty quickly so i i think that's one you know excellent way uh forward
01:54:16.440 that we could hopefully see unfold in the next few years you have giant companies are you you're read
01:54:21.160 up on uh the great reset chris yeah um i mean you see these uh what are called esgs uh these standards
01:54:30.520 in these big companies and that's the first red flag if you're if your company has an esg environmental
01:54:38.280 social justice and governmental standards um you're already in trouble
01:54:45.960 yeah and i think people are going to have to make a big decision if your beliefs uh your
01:54:50.520 politics your faith is important and you work at a company that is actively uh kind of mobilizing
01:54:57.080 against it um you have a tough ethical and moral choice to make do you stay and fight or do you find
01:55:03.000 employment with a company that lets you express yourself more authentically and i've talked to a
01:55:06.760 lot of people in the last six months where they say you know i i have these obligations i have a family
01:55:12.440 i have a career i have a reputation but this is just eating away at me this political indoctrination
01:55:18.840 trying to shame people trying to create collective guilt based on race or faith or identity um and i
01:55:26.280 i tell them you know you really have two options you have you're going to have to sit and take it
01:55:31.480 or you're going to have to have some courage and stand up for those convictions and in some cases
01:55:37.080 people are actually starting to fight back and in you know some cases even fewer unfortunately
01:55:41.960 they're actually having success at shutting down these programs um you um you did a great story
01:55:48.680 in the city journal on anti-racism comes to the heartland and you talk about springfield missouri how
01:55:56.360 the teachers are being forced to locate themselves on the oppression matrix which is what
01:56:04.680 the oppression matrix is a kind of graph or grid that was designed by some social justice academics that
01:56:11.400 basically said these are the the checklists that makes you an oppressor these are the checklist that
01:56:16.520 makes you an oppressed person so uh white male heterosexual english-speaking christians were the
01:56:22.680 kind of dominant oppressors and then you know the other side and and it was a middle school in
01:56:29.720 springfield missouri a place that is not a kind of progressive stronghold it's not la or new york and
01:56:35.720 they were forcing teachers to essentially locate themselves on this oppression matrix and telling
01:56:41.000 white male teachers you are an oppressor uh telling female or people of color that were teaching in
01:56:47.080 the system you are an oppressed um taking in none of the actual reality of the situation no one's
01:56:53.880 individual stories and categorizing them in this way and teachers were absolutely outraged um you know
01:56:59.800 they leaked me the documents and uh and uh hopefully the school district will think twice before doing it
01:57:04.680 again it it it it also they handed out uh flyers or some you know um uh training materials and the
01:57:13.240 handout originally listed maga as quote a form of covert white supremacy now they took that off because
01:57:21.640 people found out about it and so they went back into the hiding and they scampered under the refrigerator
01:57:27.720 like cockroaches do but uh mega this this is this should show you where we're headed when they say
01:57:36.360 hey we got to find extremists the the stuff that is being passed out to our teachers in schools
01:57:42.840 is really revealing on on who they think those dangerous extremists are and they're the people in the red
01:57:49.560 states yeah absolutely that's right and i think we've seen an evolution of language for the last four
01:57:56.520 years under uh the trump administration there was this drumbeat from the media constantly saying
01:58:02.360 making the association that white conservative christians are are by definition white supremacists
01:58:09.480 and there was a attempt to tie those two phrases together and then on january 6th and i know you
01:58:15.320 condemned it i condemned it the the violence at the capitol uh they were gleeful you could you could
01:58:21.240 those 72 years after they said this is our big opportunity we can now move from white supremacists
01:58:26.520 to white supremacist domestic terrorists and and it's a really a kind of maybe spontaneously coordinated
01:58:33.480 but clearly a a coordinated language campaign to basically create the connotation between conservative
01:58:40.200 and republican voters and white supremacists and domestic terrorists and these phrases are are dangerous i mean
01:58:47.000 it's a it's a truly you know the worst thing that can be uh and they're trying to basically annex all
01:58:54.520 conservative voters uh into that kind of linguistic umbrella um which then they could use to silence
01:59:01.480 to de-platform to uh outlaw and to marginalize um what i think is you know it's not a majority a
01:59:09.320 strong plurality of the country christopher ruffo thank you so much we'll talk again thank you for all of
