Listening to Dennis Prager talk about rush........
He said rush had perfect political pitch. You can’t teach it. You either have it or you don’t and rush had it. He could foresee what was gonna happen and he had a way of explaining it in a manner everyone in his vast audience could understand. As Dennis Prager just said on his show, today is a huge loss. Huge.
