Dennis Receives the News of Rush Limbaugh's Passing
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I was just handed very sad news.
Rush Limbaugh has passed away.
And the man was a giant in the media.
Even those who loathe him would have to acknowledge he was a giant in the media.
I knew Rush every time I saw him.
He gave me a wonderful Cuban cigar, even though I'm not a Cuban cigar fan.
But he gave me the best.
They were great.
He was unique.
I think he was a genius in political analysis.
I do believe that.
He saw what others didn't see.
I can only say, with regard to his death, that his ability to broadcast to the last week, I guess, was a gift to him and a statement, of course, of his perseverance.
It was a gift to him because it means that he didn't have a depressed, painful end as so many people do.
I hope he was accompanied by a loved one or more.
That's a major voice that is gone.
The notion that the man spread hate is only accepted and believed by the left, people who believe the left.
We were on at the same time, so I didn't hear him often.
Some days when I was off, I would hear him, but I've heard him, of course.
Hatred?
He was a hater.
His producer of all those years was a black man.
He adored.
But that's the way they label people.
Well, he went out kicking, shall we say.
Speaking, in his case.
May his soul rest in peace.
He has a legendary status in American life.
I wouldn't have been surprised, given his energy, if he had passed away during a show.
