Five years ago, on the morning of February 17th, Rush Limbaugh entered heaven. He was more than just a man, a legend and a way of life. He was a lovable fuzzball, a prankster, the best friend you never met but listened to on the radio airwaves every day. He was a leader in the conservative movement, a proud Patriot and humble warrior. He was altruistic and incredibly generous, especially when people weren’t looking. He was a true individual, creative and curious, but also a complete goofball.

Most of all he was a Phoenix, constantly rising from the ashes throughout his life – motivating and inspiring us to do the same. Rush gave Ted Talks before there were Ted Talks. He illustrated absurdity by being absurd. He was an animal lover (especially cats) and found God in the beauty and awe of nature.

El Rushbo was a part of the American family. He cared deeply about his audience – from the home-schooling mom of six to the former ex-convict drug addict to members of the military all over the world. Like Jesus, he welcomed everyone to the table and his listeners spanned all walks of life no matter religion, politics, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, race, the list is endless.

The Maha Rushie wanted you to be the best you could be with the one life you’re given. He wanted you to recognize how lucky you are to be born in the United States of America or the product of legal immigration. Even though the left would call him names like racist, sexist, homophobe, bigot, misogynist, etc., Rush put liberal callers to the front of the line, much like Charlie Kirk invited liberals to debate him first on college campuses. Both Rush and Charlie embraced critical thinking and shunned indoctrination. One could even surmise that Turning Point USA was the byproduct of The Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.

If Rush had sons, one could imagine they’d be just like Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. There’s a bit of Rush in both and we know he’s smiling down as they carry the torch on the Clay and Buck Show. Which is why Producers Ali and Greg, longtime Rush employees, put together this special podcast in his honor and memory.

They intentionally chose clips that highlighted callers, motivational monologues, positivity, humor, and a reminder that it’s not time to panic.

Why are fewer Americans getting married—and having children? And what role should government policy play in reversing the trend?

On this episode of Wellness Unmasked, Dr. Nicole Saphier sits down with Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, to break down the growing marriage and fertility crisis in the United States—and the policy solutions aimed at addressing it.

They explore the cultural, economic, and policy-driven factors behind declining birth rates, including how federal programs may unintentionally discourage marriage. Roberts outlines bold proposals to incentivize family formation, from expanding tax credits for parents to rewarding early marriage and removing financial penalties for married couples.

The conversation also tackles the biggest criticisms:

• Can pro-family policy support both careers and parenthood?

• Do these proposals favor traditional family structures?

• And what data actually says about outcomes for children and society

Plus, they discuss bipartisan messaging, economic barriers facing young Americans, and what success would look like if these policies are implemented.

If you care about the future of the American family, economic stability, and the policies shaping the next generation—this is a must-listen conversation.

On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz open with a heartfelt remembrance of online friend John Echtel, then reflect on the strange way public grief and “parasocial” connections collide in the modern age.

From there, they dig into the biggest moments from the Munich Security Conference—including Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s widely praised speech on Western confidence, shared civilization, and why “decline is a choice.” They also break down the viral clips making the rounds: AOC’s halting answer on Taiwan and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s non-answer on Ukraine, and what those moments reveal about readiness, media expectations, and “hard-question privilege.”

The conversation then turns to two stories they say they don’t want to cover—but feel they have to:

• Candace Owens vs. Erika Kirk and why they argue the line should be drawn with real consequences, not endless engagement-bait.

• The ongoing Epstein files frenzy, including the Ro Khanna/Thomas Massie episode that swept innocent names into the discourse—and why “transparency isn’t justice.”

Finally, they hit a jaw-dropping governance story: a major wastewater pipeline failure sending sewage into the Potomac River—and why the public response (“don’t touch the river”) isn’t remotely good enough.
