| Guys, today we're mourning the loss of a true conservative icon, an incredible American, someone who has really reshaped the conservative movement over the last few decades, and that's Rush Limbaugh. | |
| We found out that Rush had cancer about a year ago and he passed away earlier today. | |
| And, you know, he's someone that I know so many of you respect, so many of the people that follow me, that follow my father, that follow sort of, you know, our rise in the political sphere. | |
| I know that he's someone that so many of you all just totally respect. | |
| I mean, there's people, you know, in my political circles that look at him like a deity, like a god, just someone who took on The establishment, but also took on the radical left. | |
| Someone who never bowed down. | |
| Someone who never gave up or gave in or succumbed to their nonsense. | |
| Someone who pushed back against cancel culture, probably before it was ever called cancel culture. | |
| Someone who just, you know, took all of those stones that were thrown at conservatives for decades | |
| and just, you know, went right back at them and never gave up. | |
| But more importantly, you know, over this year with that diagnosis, | |
| sort of never lost his spirit, was never broken by the disease, | |
| but actually lived an incredible life with it. | |
| Told his story. | |
| I think that's perhaps what made him such an incredible communicator was that you felt like you really knew him. | |
| He opened up his heart, his mind, and your eyes to everything that's going on in the world. | |
| And, you know, I think I try to do some of that a little bit myself. | |
| You know, perhaps... | |
| Everything I do isn't all that manicured. | |
| It isn't scripted. | |
| It isn't really put together. | |
| It's just sort of me in the moment. | |
| And I think Rush is probably the first guy to actually do that. | |
| He's a lot harder. I go for three minutes. | |
| He goes for three hours every day. | |
| It was truly... | |
| I've gotten to spend some time with him over the last few years. | |
| Obviously one of the early sort of supporters of my father and the things that we were doing in the movement. | |
| He got it. He understood it. | |
| He was all for it. | |
| And, you know, honestly, I think he helped create some of that and that enthusiasm for Donald Trump. | |
| I was there, obviously, when he got the Medal of Freedom at the State of the Union last year. | |
| Just absolutely incredible to see that, and you could see how much of that meant to him as an American, as a patriot, and as someone who just loves this country. | |
| So rest in peace, Rush. | |
| Thank you for all that you've done for us, for our movement, for America. |
