00:04:20.640And that is, every show, Rush didn't know what his first words were going to be.
00:04:28.700You 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.
00:04:41.660And by noon Eastern time, he had his, what he called stacks of stuff arranged in front of him in columns.
00:04:49.280He could see the subject matter on everything he had and he could look at it.
00:05:15.840Until the on-air light went on and he said those first words into his golden microphone.
00:05:24.020It was a spontaneous coming together of his thoughts.
00:05:31.500And no one, no one except talk radio people can understand that.
00:05:40.600The greatest actors, the greatest performers, they don't write their own script.
00:05:46.360And if they do, they write it in advance.
00:05:50.580Unlike us, unlike Rush, we speak for three hours every day unscripted.
00:06:01.700Unlike most, his desk was his broadcast studio.
00:06:06.500He didn't move from an office into a studio just before the program.
00:06:10.540When he arrived every morning, it was about a mile down from his house, he worked in his studio.
00:06:19.160It 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.
00:06:28.700And my studio was next to his in Radio City.
00:06:38.620My studio didn't have all the bells and whistles that his studio had.
00:06:44.180One of them was a secret cigar smoke vent.
00:06:50.180Because you couldn't smoke in Radio City.
00:30:22.280Rush, when all odds are against us, Rush also created something different as well.
00:30:30.940The personal relationship with sponsors and bringing small companies on because nobody, nobody in the big companies are going to advertise.
01:18:58.420you're going to spend some time talking about the foundations of the show
01:19:00.780and how you know Rush Limbaugh was very intimately involved in that
01:19:04.400um going back a few years but um I remember listening to Rush Limbaugh
01:19:09.280after 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
01:19:37.680bringing 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
01:19:58.700every 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
01:20:07.620to 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
01:20:33.780anything 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
01:21:01.780wait 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
01:21:15.920but the left was also very successful in convincing half the country that he was an absolute monster monster he wasn't he wasn't
01:21:28.840this 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
