"Such peoples careers take a dive." That didn't age well...30 years later he was still on the air.
I thought the exact same thing “ That didn’t age well”🤣
.... If Limbaugh was still alive he'd still be the biggest radio personality on the air in the realm of talk radio & certainly in the current era of podcasting. Probably even bigger. Steve Croft & all the rest of the 60-Min.s crew always were (& always be) leftist POS. That's CBS.
Yeah, they couldn't stop him. Only cancer could do that.
they didn't make Rush. They couldn't destroy him. And that drove them crazy.
Wishful thinking on their behalf.
And the fake news "drive by media" are still at it. Pushing lies and propaganda 24/7
“With half my brain tied behind my back”
Just to make it fair!
He was only making it fair!
Rush Limbaugh heard Bo Snerdley (James Golden) on the phone with a creditor one day. Rush didn't have huge fame & fortune yet. He called Bo into his office, told him that he overheard that phone call & asked him how much he needed. Bo told him $5,000 & Rush wrote him a check, a gift, not a loan. He told a speechless Bo that everyone can use a helping hand once in awhile. Rush kept his same employees for 30 years, unheard of in radio. Rush was an extremely generous man, with a great sense of humor, & loved by his 40 million former listeners. We miss him greatly.
I watched a video about this story.
@@mikeconklin1567 Me too. Snerdly told the story after Rush died.
Yeah, you have to really be a hateful racist to do something like that.
I don't mean to contradict your statement that '30 years / unheard of in radio" but oddly enough, another hugely successful radio guy who was apparently / reportedly just the opposite as far as being free with his money goes, and who admired Rush for his talent at least, was apparently notoriously cheap, so say they, kept his staff for just as long. In fact, if not for radio they would have nothing in common, would be nonother than another notorious radio personality :
Howard Stern.
After Rush died, his reruns were still ranked number 1. No one can do it better than he did.
I listened to the Rush reruns until May, when they ended. I miss him so much. No one comes even close to him.
@@janereinhardt4715 You got that right.
Who’s here since Rush passing
Who's here after those happy news?
@@tarielkaroldan4106 never in my life did I hear Rush happy that someone had died. He had class.
@@randywl8925 really? Kinda weird he'd stop at that and not on hurracains being liberal hoaxes.
@@karljonson3287 Go find me a video or audio where Rush said he wanted someone to die.
I see, it's Friday night. Pop a cool one for me too. 😁
@@karljonson3287 wait a minute. Is this about hurricanes being caused by global warming, which is caused by mankind and his evil thirst for oil?
That ain't no hoax. Humans did not cause Katrina. Sheesh! 😔
RIP Rush! 60 mins got more views in the last week on this piece than they did when it originally aired. Everyone just wanted to remember you and where it all began.
Gloria Aldred: “he’s trying to make us s joke”
Plot twist: you’re already a joke
“With his torso as big as his voice “ why they start out like that lol
I think Rush would have liked that. Obviously he lost a lot of weight in the 2000s. He didn't really care if you ripped on him. He was somewhat psychopathic. I think he loved cash.
Followed by "this three hundred pounder" as if he was showing of a game animal he just shot lmao
...because, in case you don't see the big manipulative picture yet with the majority of shows on mainstream t.v./media, they throw their twisted slants - sometimes subtle and then again not so subtle - out there to all of you poor viewers so you and your subconscious follow their narrative like blind sheep...and you think you're making up your own mind, ha! They got you!
Start low its where they call the top
He even sounded fatter in this video compared to more recently
60 minutes probably thought that that interview would destroy his ratings...
Thimble you said facts. These people that listen to Rush wouldn’t know a fact if it slapped them in the face.
No doubt, but we all know what happened since. Kinda funny seeing how biased this was and to think this WAS how people got their "news" and formed opinions back then. Seems propaganda still works on some. ^^^^^^^^
@Thimble Really?? I'm not a fan of his but I don't wish him dead.
@Thimble We're all dying every second
@Thimble He has enough money to turn his home into a hospital and has a Gulfstream G550 that can take him anywhere. He will be fine. You, on the other hand are very miserable.
WOW. Everything was exactly the same 30 years ago.
Except now the USA is completely destroyed.
Brendan Hall lmao uhhhhhh not hardly.
Do you mean the hustler Gloria Allred is still exploiting women!
@Bill Cheney Money isn't everything.
Brendan Hall The USA is completely destroyed? Not much in the brains department are ya there, pal?
"I do not grant equal time, I AM equal time" (Rush Limbaugh)
"In his dreams"... couldnt have been a more correct statement.
🤣
Definitely. Regardless of how you feel about Rush, he was spot on by telling him "in his dreams."
What a legend
@John Thomas , lol's
Where's All_fred ????
albert , here it is 31 years later . And Rush has once again proving to be right !!!! 98.7% into immortality.
Thanks 60 minutes ,
when we ALL see what you ONCE where .
Contemporary 😂 , piled of crap
LOL at the dude who predicted "bigot" Rush would fail. "In his dreams," Rush said.
EIB still going strong 30 years later.
And his success is in part the result of others' false accusations about him.
CrateofStolenDirt Not a Limbaugh lover, but I gotta say, it’s elitist humorless pricks like you that turn off so many from the Left.
Jon Boxleitner actually rush for the past ten years lost hundred of radio stations and many advertisers refused to back his show, he was starting to sink from his previous radio sponsors, that’s why he was trying to generals money from appearances. There will always be a certain amount of stupid people who side with stupid ideas. Remember Glenn Beck and his crowd?
In case you haven't noticed, the US is full of trash. No wonder rush was so popular
In February 2021, 30 years after this 60 minutes interview, he was still on the top of his game.
Was. . .
Yes he was. No one spewed out more vile than this money grabbing zero.
Sure, if you call going deaf, being addicted to opiates, and giving yourself cancer "being on top of your game...."
@@mauriceortiz847 What radio station did you tune into to hear Rush ?
@@MisterTwister88 I listened to the good Rush on a couple of AOR stations. The waste of Limbaugh, only on retrospectiva, featured items and news ítems whenever he had to apologyze for some thughtless baseless rant that was engineered to attain ratings via sensationalism. And those malvontents that did listen to him should do hunanity a favor and use his twisted gun on his twisted self. Clear enough for you?
What's most amazing about this is how little has changed in 30 years
@@jacksonjoe9724 good one! Dipshit.
And we will all die.

Yeah….a bigot from day one
Wow! It wasn't as obvious to me how incredibly biased "news" was back then. This is simply a hit piece. Rush was way ahead of the curve. Still is.
@Doug GreenDittos!
They've ALWAYS been fake news and they will ALWAYS carry the water for THE LEFT.... There's no difference between CBS and Cuba controlled radio - The Democrats continue to gain access to free air time, and in return, theses left wing stations like 60 min. get access to those politicians for interview....
@@JackFlemingFan1 TRUMP AND YOU LOW LIFE, STUPID SUPPORTERS WON'T BE AROUND FOR LONG....GO BACK TO YOUR CAVE'S, YOU HILLBILLY RACISTS PIGS👋👋🖕
Thank God you have a lying, impeached admitted CRIMINAL in the White House! P Grabber for life!
Lock him up!
That “In his dreams” Rush Limbaugh’s ecco 9:02 must still be ringing on the guy’s ear in 2020.
And even back then, 60 minutes had no idea why was #1. We sure do miss you Rush, we need you now more than ever.
If I just watched/listened to what others SAID about Rush Limbaugh, I would hate the man. If I listen TO HIM I think he is 90% correct.
Yep. Rush has been awesome for decades. RIP to the greatest.
Lol ur gay
“The marketplace will eventually decide..”
It has. Overwhelmingly.
Feel the burn Liberals!
And the liberals hate the marketplace because it actually gets to decide. that's why we need to burn it all down like they did in Venezuela Cuba and the USSR.
Brady: The marketplace decided, all right. Rush got thrown off his parent station, WABC New York, and shunted over to low rated stations. Same story in many cities, Limbaugh couldn't carry the freight of a high station, and ends up on low rated, low transmission power stations in the same area. He's been declining for years.
@@joeschultz2 He is still number one.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-listened-to_radio_programs
Lmao just a week ago rush had over 55 million listeners during one three hour show. And he’s been averaging over 40 million listeners for over two decades
"IN HIS DREAMS" who got the better end of that stick 30 years later ? 😂
What’s that supposed to mean?
@@coltonchapman7163 What do you think it means? Rush was the most popular radio show for 30 years!
Feminism has killed more men than COVID
I am just amazed to see how biased they were in this report against Rush, wow!!
Im done trusting liberal news
Are you seriously surprised?
I actually was surprised. My family used to watch 60 minutes a lot in my childhood and early adulthood, and it seemed like a respectable news show even though you knew they had a certain bent. But I would never have suspected that so long ago that this piece would seem like it was created by MSNBC.
@@robwilliams2265 I remember the early days of Rush and the media didn't know how to handle him or his success, I think it completely caught them by surprise. It is a respectable news show when it comes to investigative journalism, which is what 60 minutes really is all about. But much of the media considers left wing political views as "middle-of-the-road", so Rush to them is/was an extremist that should have been a niche fancy, not someone getting 30-million listeners a day.
@@toucansam3 rush laughed at AIDS patients and condemned drug users while being one himself. If that’s middle of the road I’m dreaming
I’m gay and I listen to Limbaugh a few hours a week.
I agree with him on some things and disagree on some.
An open mind is key 👍
Ren·ais·sance man if you’re gay id say that’s pretty key yeah 😂
Donovan McNabb fans hate Limbaugh with a passion.
I doubt Limbaugh will ever have the balls to attend a Philadelphia Eagles game.
R McElhaney same McNabb that was all up in his feelings about T.O a few weeks ago? Lol
What are some things you agree with him on and what are some things you do not agree with him on ?
No one ever thought this man would have made it this big. I miss his voice and wisdom everyday. Theirs a big whole in my listening time at work between 11am and 2pm. God bless rush and keep him on radio in the big studio in the sky.
The internet back in 1991... newspaper clippings scattered out randomly on his desk
Aka, the good old days!
Now any idiot is “genius”
@@DSToNe19and83 Thank "Underachiever and proud of it" Bart Simpson for that
I saw and LOVED that. That's doing your job!!! No wonder he loved Tech so much!! Way easier and faster to defeat liberal ideals.
Less bias...
ok boomer
"In his dreams...in his dreams." Rush had it right back then about him being canceled. After its all said in done, he was a 100% right. He remained number 1 in radio and political commentary up till the end. Where are all the schmucks who were against him that they interviewed in this video? That's right, they are all gone by the wayside. Where was Rush when he passed? Still number 1! Rest in Peace Rush! You'll be missed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Number 1 in what!!?? Talkers magazine from 2007? Lmaaaaoooo I know tiktoks that do nothing but smash fruit with more followers. I honestly feel sorry for you people. You talk about facts vs emotions then spread lies, deciet, fake nonsense all while screaming and whining and having an overall emotional response to your own bs vague narrative. Like watching a train wreck. But it's easy to look away because nobody i care about is caught in it..😒
@@Pettysburg OK.
Gloria Allred isn’t gone…. lol.
@@ethan19942012 Fine nitpick you got there Ethan. The sentiment was correct,
Rush was and will always be the best, most honest, all factual man on radio!!!!
@James Blattner
Rush would always support republicans even when it contradicted his supposed conservative values. If a republican was bankrupting the country with debt, Rush would support it. He clearly was doing this for the money as he admitted in this video.
he lied about countless things and made racist and homophobic attacks
No he was right-wing biased lol. And an active defender of reaganism.
There's nothing factual abot that man, all he ever did was tell people what they wanted to hear to pump his numbers up.
@@fabrypetty1689 you live in la la land. Lmao
@@jamesblattner2786 Says the person who only listens to right wing media.
If you only listen and believe one side you will always lack critical thinking, making you a sheeple.
Enjoy that though its easier not to think and to believe what you want.

The term, “Feminazi” has been used in 1991?!
He coined the term. Just one of the multitude of reasons why today is a good day.
@@indieguy81 He was 100% correct in that label. 🤷🏼♂️🖕
@@indieguy81 your a virtuous fraud. He showed with humor the hypocrisy of the feminist movement that ONLY care about leftist females.
@@stevenorthenscold6313 First of all, it's "you're." You cannot be a "virtuous fraud." Engaging in fraud belies a lack of virtue, so your assertion makes no sense. I'd give you a $100 if you could properly define the word "feminism," but you'd probably donate it to Ben Shapiro's Patreon or something. Now, retreat to your information bubble.
He was spot on. There's a new class - male feminazis.
I was a life long liberal until i listened to Rush for a few months. I then realized despite being black, despite being raised in a lower income area I still have more chance to improve my lot in life in the USA than anywhere else..and I did. What I learned from Rush is America depsite its flaws in the most exceptional place on earth. Thr reason I lost my way with liberism is all they talk about it "doom and gloom" When I started to look at the positives first my life instanly improved. In this interview alone you can see Croft seething because Rush is so happy.
This! Well said!
Rush was so happy because he was so high...high as a kite from all the oxycontin, lortab, and percocet he had taken!
@@hollyw2086 I thought liberals love drugs!?!
The US ranks 27th in upwards economic mobility, far lower than many socialist countries by US standards.
@@benjaminvalenzuela3948 We just think about the end goal. Legalizeing drugs will reduce drug consumption save tax payers alot of money and greatly better society.
If you can’t see Rush’s genius shine through here, you weren’t deserving of his profoundness. Best to ever do it- a millennial who grew up on Rush
Just enough truth to keep people on the right but never enough to understand that it is all one side and slowly moving people in the same direction towards utter moral, and financial destruction. Rush helps keep the status quo or he wouldn't have a show or a mic to talk to. If you are heard on TV or radio you are controlled opposition. Go back to sleep . Evthg is fine.
You'll never be mistaken for a class act jake. A bigot, certainly; on that you may be sure.
Rush was an American hero. He knew the Demokkkrats were about to start grooming children and form the LGBTQP
The Truth Detector and Mayor of Realville lives on!!!
Still the Greatest Of All Time and will be bugging the left forever. Rush is still right.
God Bless you Spencer. He saved my life. Means a lot to hear you say that.
“With a torso as big as his voice...” Wow, Steve Croft.
Not anymore he lost a lot of weight.
Isn't that called "fat shaming" by today's left?
Fat shaming liberals
@Roaming Flank Fine, then don't recoil in horror when someone calls Jerry Nadler a useless fat f*ck.
Never knew Steve Croft was a Fatphobe..
If you listened everyday you would know why he has such a following. It would be him giving you reason not the mainstream media giving you A script such as you saw her. This is how they put their slant on everything. He was the most successful radio talk show host ever for a reason. Those who listened know why those who didn't don't know. They only understand what you tell them.
what you typed didnt even make sense🤣🤣 perfect example of his mass. all he was is fat, lazy, racist lunatic
Yeah i listened and see why hate filled americans would flock to someone spouting hatred on the radio
@@robertdegiorno8690 Sounds like what Rush referred to as a "low-information voter".
@@robertdegiorno8690 : Well said communist dupe!
Amazing showman. Left on top and left a void in radio. RIP
There's still a lots of so called "Conservative" telling layers of LIES on the radio. Just like with televangelist on TV.
It's ALL a show and BULL 💩 for YOUR money. Fools. Sheep.
Thirty years on top of radio broadcasting heap. Thank you, Rush, for your wit, insight, and fun. God has recovered his loaned talent. He is with Him now. Godspeed, Sir!
God Bless you Steve for this caring post.
But over 50 altogether!!
Rush is pushing a wheelbarrow full of Sulphur... somewhere else right now. No longer 300 lbs. either.
@@randymillhouse791 : Way wrong guess communist operative.
Since god is fiction, just no. Rush was a hateful POS who lacked any eloquence but did I fine job promoting divisiveness and normalizing hate speech. Anyone who calls that "fun" should have their property checked for missing neighborhood pets and make sure there isn't a dungeon hidden in their basement.
No bias from 60 minutes. They have the same complaints now. Liberals never change.
Kay Denenberg nor do conservatives
Everything comes to an end. And the end is near for rush
Hope not!
define "Liberals" please....If you say they are bleeding hearts and want to give all the US tax money to poor people and sick people, then hey sign me up. I could think of no one more deserving than the poor and sick. Unlike Rush Limbaugh, that man deserves the harvest he has sown
Thank you. This whole intro was so blatantly slanted, they just cannot help themselves. Then they wonder why Rush is so popular? They need to look in the mirror.
The marketplace certainly decided. Rush was right everyone else was wrong.
The marketplace can decide if something is popular, not if it is morally right or wrong. There is demand on the open market for plenty of things that most people would agree are morally wrong.
The marketplace likes Limbaugh, Kenneth Copeland and the Kardashians.
Facts.
And then he died and everyone rejoiced.
Why lefties hate the free market.
GLAAD saying they’d ruin Rush’s career is one of the most comical things I’ve ever heard. That didn’t age well at all.
Also just as funny when he claimed to have ruined Andrew Dice Clay's career even though the time Andrew Dice Clay was an upstart like Rush and is still relevant and entertaining today.
wait rush has a career? I thought he was dead? is he working a career or rotting 6 feet under? OH SHNAP! RUSH IS GOD! HE MUST HAVE RISEN TO GET BACK TO HIS CAREER! nope, wait, nevermind....HE DEED
We miss and love you Rush
Fortunately, the medium he spawned is still going strong. Charlotte's main news station is 9-6 political talk radio every weekday.
He closed his segment with, “The market place will decide” I think we know the answer to that!
MSM would rather THEY decide, not we the people.
Hoosier Garage - who’s “we the people”? A loud minority of the people?
@@GloogleGloigle Certainly not the msm which is the loudest minority of elites.
Yep, the market decided. Lost most of his premium radio stations, he's now down to the lower rated stations in many cities.
@Daniel Stetson : He's lost the major stations in many markets and had to move to smaller, weaker stations in the market which can't broadcast that far.
Well, the market place did decide. Rush won.
Stephen Kneller no I think his cancer will
win, sorry he goes six feet under then without his microphone and his medal. Millions of people get a sigh of relief.
You know what won it for him? Same thing that makes Fox News the #1 most watched news media in the US. More than CNN and MSNBC combined. It's called a deathgrip of Conservative stations owning the TV and airwaves and everyone listening to the same damn sources that spout the same old debunked nonsense. I lived in Texas for 4 years and family in Louisana...It's everywhere down there especially on the radio filling the best hours for listeners.
@@swirvinbirds1971 people seek what they want to hear... THE TRUTH. The lies are told all the time as well, but they don't have the business staying power
Who listens to radio or watches cable news who isn’t 100 years old?
Fox doesn’t have as high a viewership as CNN globally. Fox is not even available in most countries. More people in the world watch CNN by accident than watch Fox.

@@whowawoo HATE MONGERING? You have OBVIOUSLY never listened to him b/c if you had, you wouldn't have made such an asinine statement. Look no further than your leftist pals for hatefulness. Rush doesn't preach hate, and you're just parroting what you've heard about him from the liberal media.

@@newbloomwon Interesting how WHAT corresponds w/ educational decline?
Been about 4-5 months since Rush passed away. Listened to his show since 1988. Miss him more than ever.
It feels like a father figure died
I miss him as much as a favorite brain tumor or persistent case of gonorrhea.
@spiritof_76, that’s likely because of the evil living inside of you and your low IQ
Oh how I miss Rush!
I also miss Don Imus and Imus in the morning show. Imus didn't hold back.
Gloria calling anyone else a liar - Bwaaahaaahaaa!
The marketplace did decide, Rush has been crushing it for 31 years and counting.
He’s an entertainer, pure and simple. His objective is to get viewers and in the process he spits more vile BS than anyone I’ve ever heard. Just the other week I heard him say “it’s COVID-19 folks, the 19 means there’s already been 18 so what’s the big deal”. Yeah.....wrong again doofus, it came out in 2019, hence the 19. He says like 20 things like that every episode and his mindless low IQ sheep viewers will keep guzzling it down like Mountain Dew and keep pretending that CNN is the only liar in the news
@@andrewmowbray7035 Rush readily admits hes right only 99.97% of the time.

@Glenn Beck Bwaa hahhha hahahahahahahhahhaa
Rush helped hold the line to maintain traditional American culture.
Who knows how much faster the decay would have been without him.
I don't agree. He was just a guy on the radio. It was the people listening who chose to make the decisions to live their lives how they saw fit. Rush gave people ideas to consider. He never told anyone how to think. He did use a lot of generalizations and that was probably the most "damage" he did. But that's no more or less damage than any other mouthpiece or network. It's up to us now to move beyond generalized arguments.
Rest In Peace Rush. He will be missed.
Not by me

Where would we be without ole Rush. Thank you Rush Limbaugh.
AMEN TO THAT!
Average x a pioneer in giving true credibility that facts reside in one’s rectum, unless you’re a liberal.
All of Philadelphia hates his guts.
He had the nerve to criticize Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb back in 2003, saying racist remarks about him.
My guess is not a single McNabb fan will vote for Trump after Trump awarded him with a Medal of Honor during the State of the Union Address.
R McElhaney “I didn’t know we could tie” McNabb? It didn’t matter what color he was, the guy was dumb as a box of rocks.
In a better place. Enjoy your just desserts Rush.
He only got better as each program aired ! My God, how we are going to miss this man ! Thank you, darling Rush for all you did .
Fortunately, he left hundreds and maybe even thousands of conservative talk show hosts behind to take up the torch. I've wondered if Snerdly could give it a try. I've heard he does the show prep too. I believe the Rush followers will stick with the show for any one of the hosts he's had on.

@@unclecreepy4185 that's ironic. Never heard a liar as much as the Pathological LIAR Donald tRump. One term is ALL that MOST AMERICAN'S could stomach.
I worked as head cosmetician of a Des Moines Walgreens store in the late 90's. I didn't want to miss a show and didn't like having to listen to the music the store played all day. I needed something I could chew on, so to speak. So, I bought a hand held radio to put into the pocket of my smock and wired an ear bud through a hole I had cut into the pocket of the smock, up the back of my shirt, wrapped around my bra, through my hair, and into my ear so that I could listen to Rush every afternoon. Nobody ever caught on. My hair was long and I wore it over my ears so as to hide the listening device.
I loved Rush. He said everything that we were thinking. That's why he had such a huge following and such a great impact. He revived AM radio and pioneered the way for others in conservative talk radio.
Rush taught me everything I know about economics, conservatism, and achieving the American dream. If there were only one take away from listening to Rush for nearly 3 decades, it would be how he spoke of taking the one thing you are really passionate about and finding a way to make money doing it. Getting up each day and going into the radio station wasn't work to Rush. It was something he really enjoyed. His passion and determination was awe inspiring. Even when he went completely deaf he continued to do talk radio. Mr. Snerdley would tell him when he was talking too loud, Rush being unable to hear his own voice, and the calls were captioned for him, which caused a little delay in his response to callers as he had to read their words off the screen. He never quit.
He took a few days off when he got his cochlear implants, something that made his life for the most part normal again. The only thing that wasn't was his love of music. He loved Manheim Steamroller, especially at Christmas time, but music just wasn't the same with the implants.
My children grew up listening to Rush... my Rush babies... and they are all conservatives as adults. Two served in the Marine Corps.
Rush was an American hero, and his message will live on forever. He will live in our hearts forever.
Joleen, now THAT's some serious dedication. Love the story!
We will never forget you sir!
Who?
Sorry, we've already forgotten!
To Sir with Love comes to mind, RIP Rush, and hug Jesus for me!

“In his dreams”. Rush was right.
@dale stephen Family Guy says otherwise
@dale stephen leftists just don’t get it. This was supposed to be a “hit piece” by 60 minutes.. I’m pretty sure it only won Rush more fans. Democrats will never learn and always be miserable.
@@joeybanez310 you got that right.
@@joeybanez310 ya, lots of bigots about.
The Dems won the election. And Rush is dead...
Looks like Trump and Rush are REJECTS!
Rush showed them all right up till the end. He didn't fall, he exposed liberalism for what it is and he maintained his humility the entire time. I miss hearing his voice.
THANK YOU RUSH! Thanks for the many years of informative and entertaining shows you gave everyone.
You were a one-of-a-kind, there can never be another to fill your shoes. I only hope we can find someone who can come close.
Mans was cracked out half the time lmao your ganna take information from a drug addict ?
I love El Rushbo. He actually spoke what I believed and I have 30 years of listening to him now.
Wow... flashback.... i started listening to Rush in 89 while i was in college. Thanks to a good friend. 31 years Cant believe it has been that long... but we always knew Rush was not ever going to be knocked off the radio... too many people were thinking what he was saying
I love listening to talk radio. When someone is good at doing it I will listen even when I don’t agree with what they say. It’s a shame that snowflakes could never get over the content and just appreciate his talent.
Wat r good talk radio shows now??
@@gomezgomez7759 Theres only 1. RedBar. Discovered him on Christmas and haven't listened to another since.
Boy that ending jingle brings me back. I grew up listening to Rush with my Dad on road trips. Rest In Peace, Mr Limbaugh.
Smoking on that Limbaugh pack
Yep my dad listened to him too. Had some of his books.
@@colinj5291 A Limbaugh follower knows how to read?
@@larryhutchens7593 Yeah my step dad was super far right and my mom was a liberal back in the 90s. They were both college educated, just polar opposites politically.
When he passed my youngest daughter told she remembers traveling with her mom and I and had to listen to the tapes of Rush...I ask her “ did you die.”, she laughed and said but had to say she now agrees with what Rush was saying.
Rush's impact on the terrestrial landscape alone is unimaginable. He saved AM radio from near extinction. Before Rush, conservative commentary was done by the elitists who weren't the easiest to follow. He was William F Buckley for dummies. Me, being one of them. Rush didn't change me... he woke me up and made myself ask me, "What do I believe, and why?" I cannot thank him enough. Rush isn't going anywhere. He will always be here.
Stormbringer Coming he saved talk radio for sure
He is with us. Don't ever doubt him. 👍
At least you're willing to own your stupidity and obtuseness. To your credit.
"Rush didn't change me... he woke me up..." . Nailed it.
Please tell me about his impact on the extraterrestrial landscape.

There is not a day go by that I don't think of Rush, I miss him so much
Rest in Peace Rush 🙏
From a salary of 1 mill per year to 85 mill. So much for going off the air.
It was only 70 million. Lol
75 Millions
....,and the point was?
I think you're trying to say that Rush was an excellent businessman. He was. He earned every single penny of it. Nothing was given to him.
@@randywl8925 My point was when Rush first started in syndication, someone in the 60 minutes piece said he wouldn't last on the radio. That is from where my comment came. He mellowed with age which only grew his audience.
@@americanmanstan2381 That's very true.
thank you for the memories. They never laid a glove on him. Rush is the GOAT
Well, he was good at what he did for sure...BUT, he controlled his own little world. He did not debate anyone, he rarely did interviews and when he did it’d often be friendly appearances on Fox, he was able to blabber into his mic hour after hour with no one there to challenge anything that he said, his callers would typically be “Dittoheads” and anyone who did challenge them would be cut off and made fun of...
Like a casino, the odds were always stacked in his favor and he knew it. There’s a reason he never ran for office himself. He’d have been forced to leave his friendly, controlled bubble.
@@TravelinBand747 Right on! Couldn't have said it better myself. Lots of smashing points there. I never thought of it that way, but yeah. The guy was a coward. He was great at yelling in a microphone, but clearly didn't have enough confidence in what he believed to let on people to challenge him. Like he said, it was really all about the money at the end of the day. That's clearly all he cared about. He couldn't have cared less about making the world a better place. He was an empty suit who just espoused controversial opinions because it was outrageous, thus would give him name recognition, and make him money.
RIP Rush, you are still relevant after all these years and loved by millions!
He’s a POS
@@IndoorHydroponix lol you must be a liberal
Rush was awesome.
@@apieceofdirt4681 he was racist though, I don't hate people but he was very racist
@@apieceofdirt4681 I never hated rush, disliked some of his views as a conservative myself but I will not judge and let God do it himself, may his soul rest

Wow. Talk about a hit piece lol. Someone should dig into Mr. 60 Minutes' Past
After decades, people ASSUMED they knew who Rush was and what he really believed in. I would wager my next paycheck that none of them actually read any of his books, watched his TV show or even listened to his radio show. Rest in Peace, good sir. You will be missed by millions of DittoHeads.
Did people assume when he directly disparaged gay people
You got that right, Jill
@@ku3325ku How
@@hunterburnette1902 You never heard him do this. If you heard him criticizing someone for how they treated others, he was not disparaging them, he was mocking their insensitve acts which proved that they were the haters. Listen to whichever clip in its entirety before you assume he did this.
I had figured out who he really was and what he believed even before I talked to his producer Kit Carson and before I worked with Alex Jones. Mainly becaused I listened to Rush in the earliest days before *he* had figured out who he was and what he believed...
In 91 my dad was 42 and listened to Rush daily.....today I am 42 and listen to Rush daily....

Rush held that audience all the way till the end. RIP Rush, the guy made a fortune off political satire while being entertaining and fun.
@Zero Cool corrections will be made. 👍🏼
Listening to him for 30 years some of the first words I ever heard him say are so true.
"Listen to the words they use"
I started listening to Rush and when he said that I did start listening more carefully to the words they use.
He was referring to the media. In there carefully controlled questions that are carefully controlled stories they don't just ask questions they show you or point you or persuade you to the point of view or that yours is wrong.
The media does this with the words they use.
We don't have a meeting anymore I've been investigate stories or instances of whatever.
Today's news tells you what they want you to hear it. Not that they loved my dream, but they hated Trump.
For 4 years they spoke 99% of the time about their hatred for Trump. I'm talking the mainstream media ABC NBC CBS... With four years of anti Trump indoctrination, why is it a surprise to anyone that the guy in the basement somehow is president?
Every member of the mass media needs to register as a DNC PAC.
Agree he was actually funny unlike those awful late night tv host’s
@@Joshua-ch2ij I think you meant trolls. Letterman was actually funny early on. He went political and the sheep followed. So sad. Late night TV is supposed to be relaxing, funny and stupid. It's become a late night political event. So sad.
