BRETT: We have to start on a bit of a somber note as, unfortunately, we\u2019re getting this news that came through the overnight hours at the FedEx facility near the Indianapolis airport. A gunman killed eight people and wounded several others before apparently taking his own life in that late-night attack at the FedEx facility near the airport in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Now, details are still forthcoming. There was a press briefing earlier today. There\u2019s not much known — or there is much to learn. There is not much known still about a motive or any of that sort of stuff. And, really, it\u2019s a horrible, horrible tragedy on so many levels and in so many ways. And our prayers are with the people of Indianapolis, those great people in the Heartland who work to make a company like FedEx work.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s one of their biggest hubs, one of their biggest facilities in the entire world. And we will get you updated on that story as the program continues to unfold. As you\u2019ve been watching in the news, Democrats and Republicans — and some Democrats and Democrats! — are splitting on issues like defunding the police and expanding the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Those are both subjects we\u2019re also gonna dig into on today\u2019s program, along with news from the border and cancel culture and censorship. We actually had a caller yesterday ask about what being woke really means. It was a sincere question! “What does it mean to be woke? I hear this term. Where did it come from? How do we make sense of this?”<\/p>\n

Well, later in the show, you\u2019ll hear Barack Obama explain it in his own terms along with a heavy metal musician from the eighties who\u2019s got an interesting take on cancel culture. But before we get into the important issues of the day, you know, it\u2019s so important to understand that Rush had so much faith in this country and the people who make it work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things. That was his mantra. Following passions, pursuing dreams. In the very same way that Rush pursued his and taking advantage of the opportunities that being an American allows every one of us. That was something that he championed regularly. So before we welcome Kathryn Limbaugh on the other side<\/a> of the break that\u2019s gonna be coming up here, let\u2019s just listen to Rush, in his own words, describe what America is all about.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: We have a burgeoning class system where people move into and out of various income groups many times in their lives. And it\u2019s all because people are different. It\u2019s all because they have different ambitions and desires at different times in their lives. Some people don\u2019t discover until they\u2019re 40 what they love. Some people know at age 20 what they love.<\/p>\n
