The way Rush talks about how he would love to hear what William F. Buckley Jr would think about current events is exactly how I feel today about Rush. I would so like to hear him cover this first year under biden and the other struggles of our country currently. Rush will forever be missed by everyone that listened to him, he was a true American Patriot 🇺🇸
