Kathryn Adams Limbaugh on Our Beloved Rush
Feb 17, 2021

KATHRYN: Hello, everyone. I know that I am most certainly not the Limbaugh that you tuned in to listen to today. I, like you, very much wish Rush was behind this golden microphone right now, welcoming you to another exceptional three hours of broadcasting. For over 32 years, Rush has cherished you, his loyal audience, and always looked forward to every single show.

It is with profound sadness I must share with you directly that our beloved Rush — my wonderful husband — passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer. As so many of you know, losing a loved one is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one is larger than life.

Rush will forever be the greatest of all time. Rush was an extraordinary man, a gentle giant — brilliant, quick witted, genuinely kind, extremely generous, passionate, courageous, and the hardest working person I know. Despite being one of the most recognized, powerful people in the world, Rush never let the success change his core or beliefs.

He was polite and respectful to everyone he met. Even most recently when he was not feeling well in the hospital, he was so appreciative to every single doctor and nurse and custodian and first responder. He never wanted to put anyone out, and always thanked them profusely for their help.

From today on, there will be a tremendous void in our lives — and, of course, on the radio. Rush loved our miraculous country beyond measure, an unwavering patriot, he loved our United States military, our flag, our Constitution, our Founding Fathers. He proudly fought and defended conservative values in a way that no one else can.

Rush often stood up and took arrows on his own because he knew it was the right thing to do. Rush encouraged so many of us to think for ourselves, to learn and to lead. He often said it did not matter where you started or what you look like. As Americans, we all have endless opportunities like nowhere else in the world.

Rush gave us hope that through hard work and determination, we can overcome the obstacles in our lives and be our best. Many of you started small businesses or pursued personal dreams because Rush gave you the faith that you could. He made the most complex issues simple to understand, while making that level of genius look easy. It most certainly was anything but easy. Irreplicable, remarkable talent.

On behalf of the Limbaugh family, I would like to personally thank each and every one of you that prayed for Rush and inspired him to keep going. You rallied around Rush and lifted him up when he needed you the most.



I am certain, without a shadow of a doubt, if he could be here today, he would be. He loved you and he loved this radio program with every part of his being. Instead, we know our Rush is in heaven, encouraging us in the same way he always did on earth. Rush’s love for our country and belief that our best days are ahead live on eternally.

In Rush’s honor, may we all continue Rush’s mission in our individual lives and communities. I know all of you listening are terribly sad. We all are. I’m terribly sorry to have to deliver this news to you. God bless you, Rush, and God bless our country.

I listened to Rush out of Peoria, Il. before he went nation wide syndicated.  He was excellent then and continued to get better and better.  I Even called in and got on the radio with him.  Rush struggled against the liberal establishment even back then and he even got fired a time or two, as he liked to tell.  'Like' growing up in a gang neighborhood, Rush had a hard start, but as excellent shines through, he just did better and better.  When you fight for right, you draw a lot of fire from the debris, much like Reagan and Rush did.  His tough struggle is over, may God hold him tenderly in the palm of his hand.

I'm just getting this news--it has been another busy day. I listened to Rush during the Clinton Administration, on oil rigs back before we were drilling horizontal wells, when the bartender would have stopped serving you if you had suggested what we now do in the Bakken and other formations in the Williston Basin as a matter of course. He would have stopped serving you, too, if you had suggested America would be where it is today, that a presidential election would have been stolen, that when we have the capability to be energy independent that gasoline prices would have soared 60 cents per gallon in two months since that Usurper took office, that the President of the United States would be denied the use of media platforms, or that rioters in major cities throughout the US would be backed by the Democrat Party, now largely and unapologetically Marxist, and loot and burn and even murder without consequence.

We;re just getting started on this slippery slope, folks, and I for one, do not know what will stop it. We can't wait four years and the GOP we have is an unreliable instrument for ending this headlong plunge into the abyss. I am open to suggestions...

But this wasn't to be about that, rather, about Rush, who made a lot of people who were not paying attention more fully aware what was going on then, and even now. He will be missed as a great voice for America, and though there are many more voices, none yet has the following Rush did.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Thanks for that...I have been crying all day. I loved Rush as most of you know since I posted his daily transcripts here.

God Speed El'Rushbo :crying:

Those transcripts were a perfect illustration of just how iconic Rush was.  Even just reading his words, you could hear him saying them ... you knew what tone of voice, inflection, timing, etc., he would use if you had heard it live.

I sure agree.  How many of us have said through the years....   After the morning news hit.....   How is Rush going to report and explain it?
That is why the MSM hated him so badly.  He'd wade through their muck of disinformation, and tell it like it was. 

Losing Rush on talk radio,, was like Johnny Carson leaving late night TV.....   Can not be replaced, or replicated.

For 28 years, I've had a date with Rush Limbaugh every weekday at 11 a.m. (Central). I didn't have perfect attendance, but I had excellent attendance. I felt comforted to hear the music start, knowing I was entering a place where my passions and POV were shared. I knew I'd be the beneficiary of his wisdom and information. Plus, I wanted to make sure the brilliant analyses swirling around in my own head were confirmed by Rush.

Today I dread hearing the music. I have my box of Kleenex at the ready.

I turned on the Rush Limbaugh show today as normal, but had to turn it off after less than 5 minutes after tearing up.  Memories came flooding back of listening to him through every major event that's happened in the last 20+ years and waiting to hear his take on them.

May God comfort the Limbaugh family...

Tuning in now ... it's just never going to be the same.  He impacted so many lives and gave advice.  They're playing sound clips from the past.   :crying:

I don't know who they are going to select to replace him, or even if they're going to.

RIP Rush.  RIP.  Much love to his family.

I tried listening and tearing up .... no dang it, life definitely isn't air.

I like both Steyn and Hermann; but Hermann has sat in for Rush a lot more recently. Neither can compare of course to the one and only great Rush Limbaugh.

I have read in the past that being a radio guy in a family of lawyers made Rush constantly feel like he had something to prove to his family. For David to come out and say this, I can't help thinking Rush would be incredibly pleased.

I know that feeling.  Growing up in a family involved in the oil business and here I am...the radio DJ.
