Summary
Rush Limbaugh passed away five years ago, so the shows opens with a discussion of his and Charlie's relationship and how the radio legend inspired Charlie's own style. Then, they turn to the latest transgender mass shooting incident, this time in Rhode Island, and then talk to Riley Gaines about the latest evidence of a faith-based revival. What does it mean that men are more pious than women now, and that the more-educated are actually more likely to attend weekly services now than others?
