What Would Rush Say Today?

I miss Rush Limbaugh. There were national voices who helped me make sense of the chaos and noise in my late teens and early 20's. Rush Limbaugh and Billy Graham had optimistic messages that resonated with people. So here is what I think his monologue would sound like today......

"My friends…

I want to speak directly to the young people tuning in—those who are trying to make sense of this chaotic, upside-down world we’re living in. And I know, I know—it feels like the center isn’t holding. Like the system is rigged. Like nobody’s listening.

And let me tell you—you’re not crazy.

But you are being lied to. You're being manipulated. You're being pushed into little ideological boxes that make you useful to someone else's agenda.

So let me give it to you straight.

America is the greatest country in the history of the world.
No footnote. No apology. The greatest. Not because of conquest. Not because of luck. But because we were built on ideas. Dangerous, revolutionary ideas: that government should be limited… that individuals are made in the image of God… that liberty matters more than control… and that truth is not a social construct.

Now, I know the cultural left wants to tell you otherwise. They’ll say capitalism is evil. The Constitution is outdated. Faith is oppressive. History is shameful. Gender is fluid. Speech is violence. And borders? Don’t even get them started.

But here's the dirty little secret, folks: they don't want to fix the system.
They want to replace it—with something darker, something top-down, something global, green, woke, and unaccountable.

And who gets hurt the most?
Not the elites in their gated compounds.
You.
You, the young person trying to buy a home. Raise a family. Speak your mind. Find your place in a country that seems to be losing its soul.

Now, don't misunderstand me—I’m not here to sugarcoat things. The Right has its problems too. Weak knees. Shallow messaging. And yes, some people who take it too far.
But the immediate danger—the clear and present threat—is coming from the radical, unhinged Left. They riot. They rewrite. They cancel. They corrupt. And they call it “progress.”

But I want you to hear this loud and clear:

You are not powerless.
You are not voiceless.
And you are not alone.

The older generation? We haven’t always listened. That’s true. You’ve been handed a heavy burden: inflated costs, digital confusion, moral chaos. We told you to work hard, and then we changed the rules mid-game.

But this country—this idea called America—still belongs to you.
And it can still be saved. Not by rage. Not by mobs. But by clear thinking. Courage. Faith. Conviction.

Look beyond the hashtags. Question the slogans. Open your mind—and guard your heart.

Because when the storm really comes—and it will—the only thing that will hold is truth. And the only thing that will matter… is who has the guts to stand for it.

And that, my friends… is the undeniable truth of life.
