## Transcript

As I was riding to your event today I was listening to Rush Limbaugh. And he was, as he sometimes does, going after you. He was saying, he was disappointed that you refused in an interview the night before to call the President a socialist. Do you think Rush Limbaugh has too much influence on Republican politics? Do you think his role in the party is, is excessive, that he's excessive at times? You know, Rush Limbaugh has a, a, an audience that speaks a very important voice I, I, I don't begrudge him the great success he's had and the influence he has. But sometimes he's agreed with me, sometimes disagreed with me.

And, you know, so I, you know, I, I can only look with, with him, at him, and say congratulations, well done, you've built quite a following. So you don't agree with some people like Senator McCain who've said people like Rush Limbaugh, that some of the talk show radio hosts have too much influence in the party? You know, I let people choose their own course. If they want to listen to certain voices and find that to be compelling, that's their right to do so. It doesn't mean that I agree with those voices, but I, but I'm certainly not gonna suggest to the American people that they turn off their radio and not listen to someone who I may or may not agree with.

By and large Rush Limbaugh speaks a number of conservative principles that that a lot of a lot of us agree with.
