Well, David Limbaugh, thank you for coming. I really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. So for folks who don't know, and this means nobody knows, because I haven't told the story before, the way that I got started in political commentary was at least partially due to David Limbaugh, who I met for the first time in person today. So we have been talking and corresponding for legitimately 17 years, and this is the first time we've ever met in person, actually. So the way that this started is I was writing a column for the UCLA paper. I applied to creator syndicate, which was your syndicator for your column, and I applied cold, and they picked me up, and then I had to get blurbs for the column so it could send it off to various newspapers and I emailed you out of the blue and I was just some random kid and I was like can you give me a blurb for my column you kindly said sure and then you said and also if you decide to write a book on college campuses then I would be happy to be the agent for it and I thought okay well then I should probably go and do that and then I wrote brainwashed. So we have been friends for 17 years now. |
| 2:20.1 | Yeah. And it thought, okay, well, then I should probably go ahead and do that. And then I wrote Brainwashed. So we have been friends for 17 years now. And it's pretty amazing. It took us |
| 2:22.1 | this long to actually meet in Percy. I don't mean to put you on the spot, but tell us the story of how |
| 2:26.7 | we met. That's more specific than I remember, but that's exactly right. And I don't remember |
| 2:33.4 | actually engaging in solicitation for your legal business, but that's exactly right. And I don't remember actually engaging in solicitation |
| 2:36.0 | for your legal business, but I, but I did, I did want to encourage you to write. Amazing prodigy. |
| 2:44.0 | And what has always amazed me, too, about you is that you didn't take off in an explosive way until maybe what the last year or two. Five years, maybe the last five years, four or five years, yeah. And maybe the Pierce Morgan thing was the cat was. Exactly, like 2013. Yeah, that's how fast time goes. But I've always, haven't I always told you that it's going to happen? Many times, many times. And so it's gratifying. I love, and I don't take any credit for it at all, but I just love having been present as this thing. Well, you should take some credit for it because David was one of the people who, when I felt crying because I wasn't actually progressing at the speed at which I was hoping to. David, you were always one of the people who was telling me that stick with it. |
| 3:26.9 | Everything is going to be okay. |
| 3:28.0 | People will eventually come around. |
| 3:29.5 | Yeah, and our mutual friend, Ann Coulter, wanted to get you on the Supreme Court. |
| 3:32.9 | I had a different path for you. |
| 3:35.3 | Okay, so let's talk about ways that the church and synagogue have screwed up. |
| 3:40.1 | Because if you look at religious |
| 3:41.0 | observation in the country, it's been markedly declining since the 1950s. The number of people |
| 3:46.4 | who are affiliated with an official religion is much lower now than it used to be. People say |
| 3:51.5 | that they are spiritual but not religious, which is the most empty phrase that I can possibly |
