Now here's 31 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:37.799 James Golden. 32 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.599 Welcome, my friends to the Tuesday edition in bost Nerdly's 33 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.319 Rush Hour. We usually start with the clip we are 34 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.239 dispensing with that today. This is the fastest hour in 35 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:58.879 American media. As you may know, earlier today we got 36 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.000 the news that jeff See Jackson, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, 37 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.599 passed away, former presidential candidate, the leader of Rainbow Pushed 38 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.560 Coalition to Rainbow Push Coalition. And for those that have 39 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:17.080 followed politics, you'll remember when Jesse Jackson first emerged following 40 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.120 the death of the Reverend doctor Martin Luther King Junior 41 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:27.479 in Memphis, Tennessee, and had become a force unlike many 42 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.599 others in the civil rights industry, if I may use 43 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.280 that phrase, because that's what it turned into. President of 44 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.680 the United States Donald Trump had a long post that 45 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:48.000 began with saying that he knew Jesse Jackson well long 46 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.599 before he became president. He was a good man with 47 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.280 lots of personality, grit, and street smarts, very gregarious, somebody 48 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:02.520 who loved people, And he went on to recount how 49 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.439 he had provided office space for Jesse Jackson and the 50 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.840 Rainbow Coalition for years in the Trump Building in Wall Street, 51 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:17.520 and had passed criminal Justice Reform, which was a issued 52 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.199 deer to Jesse Jackson's heart. Also opportunities zones. You can 53 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.919 find that statement, of course, on True Social and online. 54 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:33.159 Today we have a variation. You know, we don't usually 55 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.639 have many guests. We do have guests on the program, 56 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.360 but today we're going to open the show with very 57 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:46.039 very special guests, two of them, because today is the 58 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:52.759 fifth anniversary of the passing of Rush Lombaugh, the greatest 59 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.560 force in American radio and a man that changed the 60 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.120 media landscape, not just in radio five far beyond radio, 61 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.960 changed the very landscape of American media, and a force 62 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.439 beyond that. I'd like to welcome to this program his friends. 63 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:20.079 Among his friends, Rush had many friends, his closest friends. 64 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:27.120 Many of them still, of course, are sad and grieving 65 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.439 like all the rest of us. But they knew Rush 66 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:35.040 differently because after the show was over, in many cases, 67 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.279 he'd hang out with them, He spent time with him. 68 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.360 They got to see Rush off the air and get 69 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.040 to know him. David Rossau and his wife Jeanie are 70 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.920 just incredible, incredible people. Going through their backgrounds would probably 71 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.560 take half an hour. Business successful in business and everything 72 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.959 from resorts to votings to in the financial industry and education. 73 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.480 And in fact, David ross I was the chairman of 74 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:08.839 the board of trustees at Oxbridge Academy, which is one 75 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:14.319 of the finest schools in America. Full disclaimer. I David 76 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.439 asked me to become a member of the board of 77 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.160 trustees and I have. This school is just one of 78 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.480 the most incredible schools in this country. But today we 79 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.759 want to focus on Rush and talking about Rush. David, Jenie, 80 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.560 welcome to the program. How are you? 81 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.480 We're great, Thank you. 82 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.079 Oh it's great to hear your voice and Jeanie and 83 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.439 I are honored to be on your radio show. 84 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.519 However, I've got to get my box of kleenox so 85 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.120 I don't cry for the whole time you're talking about Lush. 86 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:54.759 I know five years today and of course five years 87 00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:00.600 and it doesn't seem like five years, but it tell 88 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.759 us about your relationship with Rush. What how did you guys, 89 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.240 and not even tell us what you want us to 90 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:12.399 know about your relationship with Rush and who he was. 91 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.759 Well, I played a lot of golf with Rush, and 92 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.879 I also then Genie played with him at least every 93 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.000 Sunday when Geenie and I would go to church meet 94 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.319 the club, have lunch together, sometimes just the three of us, 95 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.160 Sometimes Geenie would have another gal there and we'd have lunch, 96 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.920 hit a couple of golf balls and go out and 97 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.800 play eighteen holes. And we always had a great time. 98 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.720 And you know, one of the endearing things about Russ 99 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.759 is people would come up to him, talk to him, 100 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.600 want a picture taken with him, want an autograph. He 101 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.040 never refused a soul. I found it at times, if 102 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.079 it were me, it would be aggravating. Rush didn't find 103 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.800 that aggravating. He found it to be, you know, important. 104 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.160 It was you know, he knew who he was, He 105 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:11.439 recognized people wanted to be So you know, I guess, 106 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.079 I guess I'll finish up by saying one thing and 107 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.120 Jemmie mate will pay echo this. He was a big 108 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.600 teddy bear, very big teddy. 109 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.680 I might have to go get my kleenex box. 110 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:24.600 But. 111 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.560 He was very special. People would say, who did you have. 112 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.120 Dinner with on Saturday night, and I would say, oh, 113 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:39.480 Russian David, and I can't remember who else was at 114 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.240 the table, but and then that person would say, well, 115 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:44.600 did you sit next to Russ? 116 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.399 I said, yes, of course I did. 117 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:48.800 I wouldn't let anybody else. 118 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.439 Sit next to him. 119 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:57.800 It went on. It was a great relationship, and he 120 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.720 shared a lot of his joys and a lot of 121 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.399 his sadness. And I felt like I really thought it was. 122 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:10.720 I was his sister. 123 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.800 Well, he recorded a genius sist all the time. And 124 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:21.720 I'll give you a great example. I spent the formative 125 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:26.199 years of my life in Minneapolis, and my brother and 126 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.040 my parents remained there. My brother stayed there, and when 127 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.639 my parents were elderly, I would go out there periodically. 128 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.440 But it was my brother who was a caregiver and 129 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.159 Rush knew that. So we had a dinner party one night. 130 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.600 My brother came to Connecticut, I mean to Florida, and 131 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.840 we invited Rush along with some other good friends who 132 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.679 knew Rush. And I will say, there's a great deal 133 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:57.440 of apprehension on my brother and his wife's part, and 134 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:02.840 Rush came sat down, we had cocktails, sat down at dinner, 135 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:08.600 and he stood up during dinner and made a toast, 136 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.759 and every you know, I was I didn't know what 137 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.360 to expect because Rush was a great guy, and if 138 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:17.559 he was going to make a toast, he was going 139 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.639 to make a toast. And he toasted my brother and 140 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.679 sister in law and thanked them for being the caring 141 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.279 people they were to take care of our parents in 142 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.240 their last years. Well, I've got to tell you, there 143 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.639 wasn't a there wasn't a dry on house. My brother 144 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.279 and his wife were stunned beyond belief, and Rush toasted them, 145 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:47.200 and from that moment on there was no hesitation about them. 146 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.799 Speaking with Russian understanding that he really is was he'd 147 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.360 say that a kind, kind man. 148 00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.919 Wow, got to get my play next. 149 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.840 Yeah, you know, talk about for a minute, David. One 150 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.080 of the things that I posted an article today. I 151 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.000 had a few minutes this morning to just remember some things. 152 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.279 And I think that one of the things that Rush 153 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:21.159 was most proud about was the fact that his audience 154 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.039 this thirty up to it was close to thirty million 155 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:29.039 people at the time that he passed away, but they 156 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:33.600 were also among the most giving people in the world. 157 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:43.080 Rush raised millions and millions of dollars to fight diseases 158 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:53.360 like leukemia, childhood leukemia, to help the families of American 159 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.840 military and law enforcement officers who were struck down while 160 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:04.759 serving the country. He'd loved the American military and did 161 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.120 all he could to extend generosity. And then there was 162 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.639 the they were the anonymous gifts to people. He would 163 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:19.720 hear about a situation and just want to help. You 164 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:25.080 knew him, talk about his spirit, who he was in 165 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:30.559 terms of this enormous success that he had, but still 166 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.279 his heart. 167 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:33.879 Well. 168 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:38.120 Rush always considered himself a child from Missouri who never 169 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.559 went to college. His parents thought he would be a failure, 170 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.799 and he wished many many times that his parents were 171 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.840 alive to see his success. His brother, he has only 172 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.080 a brother, and then he asked some cousins and an 173 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.399 uncle who were very loyal to him. I've got had 174 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.279 the pleasure of meeting over the years and spending time 175 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.799 with But Rush was just in midwestern He's from Missouri, 176 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.600 and he had values that went above and beyond the 177 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.799 values that you generally see. If Brush saw a wrong, 178 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.080 he tried to write it. He was he was determined. 179 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:19.279 He'd say, I make an obscene amount of money and 180 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.840 he shared it, and he did so, as you mentioned, 181 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:27.720 Bo discreetly. He and Catherine went out one Christmas Eve, 182 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.120 I think it was, and they had envelopes filled with 183 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.360 one hundred dollars bills and they would just stop and 184 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.360 hand them to a random people. The ups driver, the 185 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:42.360 guy at the gas station, some person just walking down 186 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.039 the street. They'd run out, handed the out en all 187 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.399 to say Merry Christmas, and then jump back in the 188 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.639 car and disappeared. You know, those were things I know 189 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.080 no one ever heard about her, and he never talked 190 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.879 about it. He just happened to mention it to Genie 191 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.759 and myself. He just was in a new usual man. 192 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.080 He was giving, he was sharing. We spent lots of 193 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.360 time on his playing, going to various places to play golf, 194 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.080 and he'd invite whoever he wanted to play with him 195 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.120 and whoever needed a ride. We came back from California 196 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.080 after what was then called the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. 197 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.720 He was stopping in Denver to watch the Denver Broncos 198 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.320 play football, and we had four or five other people 199 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.200 on the plane who needed a ride back to the 200 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.399 East Coast. And it wasn't as though he said, well, 201 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.840 we're going to Palm Beach. You got to get yourself 202 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.159 home from there. He dropped them. He had the pilots 203 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.440 dropping them at individual airports where they had cars and 204 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:47.360 so forth. One last story, I'll remember the Super Bowl 205 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.639 weekend about twenty one years ago. I can only I 206 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:56.960 can remember because when our granddaughter was born and I 207 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.879 was scheduled we're going to play golf together on Saturday morning. 208 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.039 He walked into the locker room and he looked at me. 209 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.360 He said, we're are your golf shoes. I said, I'm 210 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:06.879 not playing to it. I just want to let you know. 211 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:08.919 And by the way, Jeanie and I can't come. 212 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:09.320 To your. 213 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.559 Super Bowl party. 214 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.519 He said why, and I said, I got to call 215 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:15.879 at three this morning. We have a new granddaughter. We're 216 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.240 going to get home and see her as quickly as 217 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.360 we can. He said, well, how are you going to 218 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.639 do that. Your plane is in for service. We were 219 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.960 fortunate at that time to have a plane. And I said, 220 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.120 we're going to fly commercial. He said, no, you're not, 221 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.200 and went to the phone booth. 222 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:28.679 Came back. 223 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.320 He said, meeting my plane at ten o'clock at the airport. 224 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.440 They're finding you to Bridgeport, Connecticut, and that was that, 225 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.240 and he walked out to play golf, and sure enough, 226 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.320 that's what happened. I mean, those were you know, we 227 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.080 always thought we were being treated special, but he treated everybody. 228 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:46.120 He knew that way. 229 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:53.879 Man, I'll tell you what there's you know, it is 230 00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:02.960 five years and I don I think that people have 231 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:09.679 really heard very much what kind of person Rush was 232 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.720 besides the media caricatures. And that's one of the reasons 233 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.080 that I asked you guys to come on, and I'm 234 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.559 so grateful that you have. He was a unique man, 235 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.960 and he was a loving man, a giving man, and 236 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:27.240 a very generous person. But he was a person that 237 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:33.679 also cared a lot about people. And in his off 238 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.279 the air he could sometimes just be very quiet and 239 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:43.159 very humble and all of that. It wasn't it all 240 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.840 like the caricature that was portrayed about him in many 241 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:47.919 parts of the press. 242 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.919 Would you agree with that totally. 243 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:55.799 I've seen a doctor about something or other and my 244 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.559 appointment was about to be over and it was almost 245 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.399 noon and he said, I'm sorry, I've got to leave early. 246 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.559 I said, okay, thank you very much, and he said, 247 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:04.879 I've got to get to my car and eat my 248 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.159 lunch so I can listen to Russia. 249 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:07.279 On the air. 250 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.960 I said what he said, Yeah, I've listened to him 251 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.039 in my car. So I told Rush the next time 252 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.759 we played golf, and he looked at me. He said, 253 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.440 you're not serious. You made that up. I said, no, 254 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:20.960 I'm deadly serious. I'd love to introduce you to the guy. 255 00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.360 He said, I want to meet him someday. 256 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.399 And he was. 257 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:28.039 He was almost moved to tears. He couldn't believe a 258 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.279 doctor would go to his car eat his lunch there 259 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.159 while he was listening to Russia's show. 260 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:35.200 He was He was not. 261 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.159 He was not the guy who reveled in his success. 262 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.120 He was the man who reveled in the fact that 263 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:47.840 he was so lucky to have success and his stability 264 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:55.120 was unbelievable, totally, totally. Well you saw that too, bough. 265 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.960 I mean he the times we would come into the 266 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.080 studio and watch the show. I mean, how silly is 267 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.880 that to go watch a radio show, right, But we 268 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.839 enjoyed it because he was just on the air. He 269 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.039 was a character, the smartest man I've ever met my 270 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.200 life without a college degree. People were astonished by that. 271 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.599 But he had a recall on everything, and he was 272 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.839 just brilliant. 273 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.480 Amen to that, loving and respectful. 274 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.359 I'm about to cry now, which is hold on, let me. 275 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.039 Say goodbye to you on the other side of the break, 276 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:36.599 because the next segment is going to be sure.

She is an angry woman. 315 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.960 But I watched the other two speaking and answering basic questions. Look, 316 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.359 Gavin has destroyed California and AOC I never really got her. 317 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.799 I never heard her speak very much. Yet they started 318 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.480 answering questions. She had no idea what was happening. She 319 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.640 had no idea how to answer, you know, very important 320 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:40.599 questions concerning the world. But she can't answer questions concerning 321 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:44.279 New York City either, because New York City is got 322 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:45.279 some problems. 323 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:50.039 Yeah, that was Donald Trump on Air Force One.

God blessed the United States of America. 342 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.599 God blessed the decent citizens that live in this country 343 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.640 and all he's in the White House. 344 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:12.119 That is the political analysis of November elections from one 345 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.319 of Bill Clinton's top aides, James Carvill. Ladies and gentlemen, 346 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.279 Just so thought you'd like to know. As I mentioned 347 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.759 at the top of the program, Jesse Jackson passed away. 348 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.480 I don't. 349 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:32.079 Spend time after someone passes away that was in the 350 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.759 political opposition to many things that I felt trashing that person, 351 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.920 and I'm not going to do it here. I saw 352 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.599 some comments on social media that were totally classless, and 353 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.759 I will say this about Jesse Jackson. He fought his 354 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.400 fight what he thought his purpose was on earth, and 355 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.279 he fought it bravely. There's one thing that I do 356 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.240 remember about Jesse Jackson, and it was one of the 357 00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:01.559 moments that I felt proudest of Jesse Jackson. But what 358 00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.920 it took it was when he ran for president. He 359 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.839 did run twice, but I think it was the race 360 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:13.920 that he was running against Ducaccus. He came in second 361 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.240 and he had five I believe it was five primary 362 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.720 victories that year and he came in second to Ducaccus 363 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:27.559 and the Democrats fail bid. Then I don't remember much 364 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:31.799 about his speech that night when the Democrats held their convention, 365 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.359 but I do remember this because I have not seen it. 366 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:37.680 Before. 367 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.279 I hadn't seen it, and I hadn't seen it afterwards 368 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:48.680 when he gave his speech. At one point in the speech, 369 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.279 he mentioned, and I'm paraphrasing, I don't have the exact 370 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.920 quotes in front of me, but he mentioned that there 371 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:03.160 could be people that perceive that he had wronged them, 372 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:12.480 and he asked people to please forgive him if he 373 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:16.400 had done something or said something that brought them harm. 374 00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:26.960 He asked, very humbly, asked for people's forgiveness. And I, oh, 375 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:31.720 she's got me saying it now, and I've been saying 376 00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:37.279 it so much after Alexandria Okashio cork Tensis, and then 377 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:38.599 now I'm starting to say it. 378 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.359 And but he. 379 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.279 Begged for he asked people for forgiveness, and he did it. 380 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.240 And you could tell, at least I could tell. I 381 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:54.240 believed that it wasn't a political line, that it was 382 00:24:54.519 --> 00:25:01.160 a heart felt line. It was a heart felt, wish 383 00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:05.480 emotion that he was conveying to the audience. And it 384 00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:10.559 struck me in a way that I reacted emotionally to it. 385 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.400 I thought I'd never seen this before. I remember, I've 386 00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:18.480 never seen a politician do this before, unless, of course, 387 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.279 they got caught in some kind of sex scandal or 388 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.759 something like that, and they were just hunting for votes 389 00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:32.160 in that way. But there wasn't a scandal attached to it. 390 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:31.079 It was. 391 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:37.079 A general I'm here in front of America, and I 392 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.519 know I'm not perfect, and so if i have done 393 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:45.480 something to bring harm to you, I'm asking for your forgiveness. 394 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.319 And I thought that would stand up of Jesse Jackson, 395 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.480 and I've never forgotten it. 396 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:52.000 Now. 397 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.519 As to the politics of Jesse Jackson, I can leave 398 00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:58.599 that to another day. 399 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:01.279 This is a man that. 400 00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:05.640 Devoted his life to doing what he thought was right, 401 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:12.559
