GOP Nominee for Governor of Iowa Recieved Shout-Out from Rush in 2009

June 3, 2026

Rush praised him in 2009 for calling out Obama at a town hall. Now, Zach Lahn is poised to be Iowa’s next governor. Clay & Buck play the clips from about 15 years ago, when El Rushbo picked out a rising Republican star.

The full clip from the Obama town hall while I was in college in 2009.

Plus commentary from one of my heroes in the conservative movement.

Listened to him every day. I still remember hearing great Grandma say “Rush is on”.

God bless Rush Limbaugh. 🇺🇸🎙️ pic.twitter.com/di2HVYzewb
