Speaker 1 (00:00):
Did anybody else see the story about Rush was they're
having trouble selling tickets or I can believe did you
see those store just talking.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Off the air about the possibilities of Steve Perry still
being able to hear? Can you imagine Getty Lee still
hitting those notes? That's that's not going to happen, man.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Well, and I think, you know, people are just struggling
with not only do they have a different drummer, it's
a girl, and you know they're let's say, you close
your eyes and it sounds like Neil Peart back there. Yeah,
like you know, And I just think people are with
the type of money that they're charging. People are struggling
with coming up with that kind of money seeing not
(00:39):
the original Rush obviously two thirds and clearly we'll never
see Neil unless they're doing you know, holograms or something
which is kind.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Of tickets like four fifty and up or something like that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I think there may be a little less for nosebleeds,
but it's a lot, I mean a lot that they're charging.
And I thought, I read here's the thing you can't
ever tell any more if it's real. When you like
see stories on social media, I'm like, is that real?
Is that pablon bees that? Like, you know, I'm like
trying to figure it all out. But anyway, Alex Stone,
ABC News is joining us right now, and uh, Alex,
(01:12):
I know you're you're probably not a big Rush fan.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I'm guessing no.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, ye see, I thought of you as a modern
day warrior with a mean, mean stride, But I guess not.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What about what about journey? Would you?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I mean, I like to sing along after a couple
of you know, don't stop believing?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know if I don't
think he and it's just Steve can't do what he
used to do, and he he cites that as the
reason why they're never going to tour again. Think about it.
They're in Cleveland accepting the award and he's on stage
and everybody's there and nope, they're not, so.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
They can't do it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, maybe it's just him going nature ship sailed, you know. Yeah,
I don't know, man.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
The boys to do it through all those years.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So we see these stories periodically. This one ended in
a I guess in a good way because they ended
up finding him. But you know, hunters are out there
and then they go missing, and you just wonder what
exactly was there some sort of mind altering how do
you get lost? And how do you I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Know, but well, I mean in this case of the
Sierra Nevada are so remote when you get deep in there,
and I mean you can just you can get easily
turned around.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
This is a pretty incredible story though. Ron Daily.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
He went hunting over twenty days ago now and it
was supposed to have been a day trip.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
He never came back.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
There was a big Fresno County, California search and rescue.
They looked for him in the air and but they
couldn't find him. But they didn't know that he had
gone down this trail that was for rock crawling, you know,
jeep rock crawling, and that he it.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Was by mistake.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
His truck was not made to do that, and some
hunters in the Sierra Nevada came upon him in the
woods this weekend. He's doing amazingly well in the hospital
over the weekend, was getting checked out, getting out today.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I've got a.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Phone call when he was rescued. She couldn't believe that
he was calling on a satellite phone from the hunters,
telling her that he was safe and he had been rescued.
Bunny said, was I'm so sorry, honey.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I know you've been worried.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I love you so much, And.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
She says he just kept apologizing for not coming home
for twenty days and worrying her.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
He lost his tongue. He lost his truck.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I don't even know what that means, but.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
He said, I got here, I ran out of gas.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I lost my truck.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I said, I don't care about your truck. I just
was so glad your boy.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
So Now, from his hospital bed over the weekend, his
daughter recorded him for us, and we're hearing ron daily.
He says it was quite an ordeal. He ended up
on that rock crawling trail that his truck was not
made for, you know, high centerted essentially, but couldn't get
back over the trucks and get turned around.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
There was snow. He got stuck. He was unable to
get out.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I just packed up and then checked my truck up
and bade it little, took the passenger seat out and
throwed it in the back so I had to have
a place to lay down. Very uncomfortable. My hips are
killing me.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, he was there, and he thought, well, I've got
two weeks where of the food, somebody's gonna find me.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He was waiting to be rescued.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
He was slightly injured, and he was living out of
his truck until Saturday, when he decided he had been
about a week week and a half without food and water,
that he had to get out of there or he
was going to die, and that he had to make,
you know, an attempt to save his own life.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Either try to walk out, are you're gonna sit here
and die. I got on my garb, on my booty
someone and I started walking in and it was the
toughest walk I've ever done in my life.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Keep talking about losing his cell phone, but he didn't
have any cell phone connectivity anyway out there in the
middle of nowhere. But he said every time he got
over a mountain, there was another mountain, and he kept
wanting to quit, but he had to keep going. Son
went down on Saturday. He made a prayer to God
and said, hey, help me out.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I got my head down, my hands and I'm praying
to the Lord. The Lord, you got to send somebody
up here to me. I can't hardly walk anymore. Lord,
you got to help me. Father, God read through the
car with headlights on it Wow, and I go.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Oh God, thank you Lord, he says.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Those were hunters coming up the road and they spotted him.
They had binoculars out and they called his name because
everybody who was hunting up there knew that there was
this guy who went missing twenty days ago, and they
rushed him food and water. He hadn't had food and
quite some time, he says, he got a bottle of water.
They had some muffins in there and other things that
they fed him. He says that prayer was answered almost immediately,
(05:36):
and he got that call out to his wife to
say on the satellite phone, I'm alive, I'm okay, and.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I just pray you to go God. Thank you Lord
for bringing these men into my life and saving my
life today. Lord.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, he's generally okay, some injuries, is recovering from. But
thankful to those hunters in the remote wilderness who came
up that road and with their headlights on and found
them right there. I'm sure they were just as surprise
as he was that out of nowhere, this truck came
up there in the evening on Saturday night. But they
got him out of there. They notified the Sheriff's department,
they got him to medical help right away.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
But he's okay.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
And he reached the point where he hadn't eaten in
a week and thought, I'm either going to die right
here or I gotta go, And and he went and
he found help.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You know. The thing that is crazy to me, like unfortunately,
when you're you know, telling this whole story, and he
calls from a satellite fund to his wife. Of course
it's probably because he had been missing. She picked it up.
But in this day and age, you know, people don't
recognize a number and they're like voicemail or whatever. Sorry
to throw that in the middle.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Maybe well, maybe this is the answer. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Well, why was he out in the middle of nowhere
with two weeks worth of food in his truck? What
was his purpose?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah, it's a good question. I think just that being
a hunter going out and knowing that you could get stuck,
and there had been some snow in the area, and
that's why you'd bring, you know, a starlink or a
satellite phone or whatever, and probably extra food. I mean,
that's the warning that we're all given anytime we drive
into the mountains here in California, so knowing that he
was going to be alone out there, I assume it
(07:11):
was emergency supplies in case something went wrong, and thank goodness,
he did or he must have lasted that one.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And you think most people in that situation. I don't
know how many hunters are actually taking two weeks worth
of food because that seems like an like a lot,
you know, you could think.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Unless it's emergency food, you know, the stuff you can
buy a costco and whatnot, that just.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Two weeks my point, Yeah, it's like wow.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Plus you got a gun and bullets and you know,
wildlife in there. So she said he tried to do that.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
He actually had to hand over his gun to the
rescuers to say, hey, I can't I can't render this safe.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Can you take care of it?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Because his hands were so shaky and worn out and
everything else from from hiking. The other thing is we're
told here in california'd always have two weeks for earthquakes
or cavy rescued, so he could be he could have
it for that. I mean, any number of reasons why
he would have had extra food in his truck. But
luckily he did it was a good lesson to those
going out in the wilderness to be ready for a
little something extra.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Another good lesson is make that three weeks, because then
he that is true, he would have been able to have.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
All the alternative starlink with you, and you would have
been able to make a phone call right out.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Of there and maybe go hunting with a friend.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, or that too, you'll.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Go by yourself into the middle of nowhere like that, right.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, man, I I'm so happy to hear that this
ended that way. And it's so dramatic that, you know,
he asked God to help him and then boom there
it was. That's that's crazy, right there, man, crazy Alex Stone,
ABC News out of Los Angeles, Alex, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
See you man,
Did anybody else see the story about Rush was they're
