![]() He didn’t do a voice or anything, though, like he might have in the Clinton era: He just said it. They’re not a factor,” Limbaugh said, affecting the persona of a Democrat trying to downplay Trump’s chances for reelection. “These gigantic crowds for Trump, which are larger than they were four years ago, don’t matter. After a few weeks of tuning into Limbaugh, you really will start to think these partisan outlets are indeed just the news.Īfter the intro, Limbaugh segued into mocking Kamala Harris for allegedly drawing a light crowd at a recent “car horn rally” in Arizona, comparing the “one, two, three, four, five, six cars” at Harris’ event with the robust attendance at Trump’s own Arizona rally. Every day, Limbaugh flips through stories from right-leaning news organizations like Breitbart, PJ Media,, and a site called Just the News. “The learning never stops,” he said, at the “Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, and all other studies that matter.” But the syllabus isn’t very dynamic anymore. Told you we’d be here today, and we are,” Rush said at the top of his show on Thursday, as though it was all muscle memory. “Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, right back at it. Rather than a roaring iconoclast, he is a creaky, grumbling patriarch amid the din of his own un-shut-up-able progeny. These days, Limbaugh’s show just isn’t very good, both by the standards of talk radio and by the heights he himself once set. It’s not just because, like his peers in the far-right media, he can’t stop talking about deep-state corruption, and it’s not just because that elastic grin of a voice now sags a bit with age and illness. Limbaugh still broadcasts to an audience of millions every day, but he doesn’t quite sound like himself anymore. He succeeded beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, but I still do not know whether Limbaugh is a true believer, or just an errant shock jock who stuck with the one gimmick that worked. (Not in the hyperliterate Dennis Miller sense, to be clear more like the kid who gets detention for mocking the substitute teacher’s last name.) But it has never been exactly clear just how much Rush means it and how much of his shtick is a put-on. If Ronald Reagan had concealed the greed and cruelty of his administration’s policies behind his own genial, reassuring personality, then Limbaugh sold conservatism by relentlessly smart-alecking liberalism. Amid the exhaustion of treatment, Limbaugh has but one final mission in his theater of the culture wars: ensure Trump’s reelection. By late October, Limbaugh revealed to his listeners that his cancer is, in fact, terminal. It was a very public curtain call for the leading light of American cesspool conservatism. The award was more than an expression of sympathy for a sick man. Trump thanked Limbaugh for his “decades of tireless devotion to our country,” and half the chamber broke out into applause. A dusting of white hair encircled his round face. Wires from his cochlear implants-Limbaugh cannot hear without them-ran from his ears to his temples. In his balcony seat, the 69-year-old host looked frail and somewhat unsteady. Two weeks later, he attended Trump’s State of the Union address as a guest of the president and surprise recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor. In January, Limbaugh was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. With the help of mass mail-in ballots, the illegal ballot harvesting operation could harvest 700,000 ballots.”Īnd now Rush Limbaugh is running out of time. ![]() “A Biden campaign operative in Texas is attempting to rig the 2020 election with the help of others and a massive ballot-harvesting scheme, according to two private investigators who testified under oath that they have video evidence, documentation, and witnesses to prove it. “Now these are explosive charges in this story … and it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters,” Limbaugh told his listeners. First he read the headline: “Biden’s Texas Political Director Implicated in Massive Mail-In Ballot Harvesting Scheme in Harris County.” To hear him tell it, the story was yet another blockbuster that the pro-Biden media was suppressing. 29, the day of the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Rush Limbaugh had a shocking story to share on his daily radio show. In October, Justin Peters reflected on the conservative radio host’s final mission: helping reelect President Donald Trump. Rush Limbaugh died on Wednesday from complications of lung cancer. ![]()
