A Perfect Tribute

Thank you for making this podcast. I was on the verge of tears the entire time I was listening. I grew up listening to Rush while driving a John Deere tractor tilling the soil of wheat fields in rural Oklahoma. His words helped set me on an American-loving path at an early age. Thank you, Rush, for that. And thank you, Mr. Snerdley, for reminding me of the impact Rush had on my life.

The Way Things Ought To Be.

I just listened to the Podcast trailer. I’m in tears. I miss this voice more than I can say. The whole planet is in shambles, America is inside out. I need to hear this man’s analysis.

Thank you for sharing this.

♥️💔♥️
