and exploded. The way you dream about the flagship station of the rush Limbaugh programme was seventy seven W Abc in New York in
beginning rush, also hosted a local show from ten till noon, and then is national radio programme from noon to Pm Eastern every day on the inaugural, affiliates, scattered all across Amerika. The reason I have to do that was that we started with fifty six stations: that's not enough stations for national advertisers to care.
and I face for a year and a half derision and criticism and mockery, and all that from what I was trying to do,
and the way we did and the reason I have to do that New York Shaw is because that's where we were given three minutes an hour to sell national advertising, so we were able to tell advertisers their commercials would be heard in New York. City is, if you couldn't do that back, then you couldn't have a nationally syndicated programme. In a matter of months, the programme expanded to three hours of daily nationals, indication airing noon to three and the programmes.

Ninety three for a guy from Cape, Gerardo Missouri, fired from his first seven radio jobs before finding any sort of success bind microphone. The entire experience was nothing short of humbling, so many standards of excellence have been sent by previous induct these, including tonight's, that all I can hope to do is try to approximate them as I go through my career and if I am one day judged to have done that, and I will consider to have been worth it in a success. I say what I say to the american people in any chance. I have a chance to speak to them. I do, and I am so grateful and so honoured regardless what I mean to them. I am certain that I will never mean as much to them as they mean to me after patiently waiting you through a critical introductory speech from Sally Jesse reveal, based on their political differences, rush, confidently strolled up to the podium and delivered in accepting speech full of class grace and gratitude. In the speech he offered his thanks to the american people, family and colleagues, and ironically enough is competition and those who disagreed with it. When I came to New York, there was one man I said here is the standard. That's what I'm up against here. So I consider my competition to be. If Larry King had not shown that syndicated talk, programming would work, I wouldn't have had the chance. I think Larry King is well. I thank all of you. Thank you so much for allowing me to run no matter if you're, an athlete a musician or a broadcaster being conducted into the hall of Fame is usually the crowning achievement of a long career finished as you head off the sunset, but for Russia Limbaugh, it was only the beginning, with still more than twenty five years of excellence and broadcasting to come.

narrated by Mary Madeline.
You wouldn't out at the time, but in the nineteen ninety two election, a battle for the ages, is born and not between incumbent President, George H, W Bush and his challenger by young smooth, talking democratic governor from Arkansas that election was over. Now. At this point, a political chess match for the ages began between that very governor. Now, President Elect Clinton and the hero of this story talk, radio, icon, brush lend. It is its fundamental to remember that you're, the Clinton's admitting their paranoia because they didn't know how to deal with a non supporters, media and all it was just me on the radio. It's. What a lot of talk shows the worst regional drawbridge a mere acting like it is the biggest threat to their existence. Ever in the process. Rush became the number one voice of conservatives, a mantle literally passed on by none other than President Ronald Reagan himself. In a treasure written letter, Russia's political savvy, combined with an uncanny reality based ability to make the complex, understandable help

Fourthly, it's no coincidence that the rush limber programme is, you know, actually began during the Reagan administration and, though the Clinton years more filled to the brim with easy fighter for rush to feast, and he spent two years after battling misperception that this shows success is primarily built on the daily melodrama dished up by the clinics. In reality, the shells popularity exploded long before the presidency was even a twinkle in buildings. I cant do the number of people who believe that this programme, a road towards common Heritage Canton, won the elections. This programme got off the ground and became the most listen to radio talk show in three years before Bill Clinton ever thought about running in the end rush reminded his listeners that his programme never depended on the party that was in power. I have often had a phrase. My success doesn't depend on who wins alleged. I can't control is gonna win elections anyway, regardless is in the White House or not by the way. Just because your team, where this doesn't mean they owed screw up whole objective, appears to have a good show. Rush Limbaugh hosted far more than a good show. In fact, for decades after the Clinton administration had come and gone, he proudly carried the conservative torch forward both on the air and off the air on the air.
life of rush, Limbaugh chapter nine narrated by George Noory,
The nineties drew new lines in the political battle field, ultimately leading to a hotly contested two thousand presidential election, but by the time George W Bush was inaugurated and the dust began to settle the ear of compassionate conservatism seemed poised for smooth sailing. The Clinton presidency was, in the rear view, mirror the house had a republican majority and because conservatives were riding high, Russia's critics predicted without anyone to complain about his show would soon be on the decline and then on a clear Tuesday morning. Everything to betray power that we really do all in its September, eleven two thousand one profoundly impacted America, the Bush presidency and russian different sets of emotions start taking over. Then in the course of the next few weeks, learned that I knew people lost, deepen family

politics changed on a dime and Russia's audience rude dramatically, as Americans turned to a familiar soothing voice to calm the chaos pick up the pieces and move Amerika. The Bush White House also recognise the breach of this programme, as both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney became regular, contribute looking back to the programme, the vice President's Dick Cheney, Mr Vice President, thank you. As always, it is an honour and a delight to have you here with us. Well, russian, greek doktor. After to successful terms, and despite expertly guiding America through an unprecedented crisis early and his administration, President Bush left Washington with waning popular animist harsh criticism in the years that followed rush tried to set the record straight. Bush was a solid leader dealing with nine eleven about how in the world are you go from that perception to go to being thirty percent approval, hated and revive you do that by letting the media destroy you and not fighting back and not giving political, because you know somebody officer to the end. Russia Limbaugh have profound respect for his friend President George W Bush and his story of the american president. Bush has been rehabilitated in the eyes of the drive by media. Wishes gracious now what's missing in this transformation, of course, Bush the evil to boost the gracious is the acknowledgement that he has always contorted itself. This way, despite the limitless attacks these past eight years, George W Bush has been a class act. He considered bushes, strong leader, who was unfairly defined by his opponents and for his part, George W Bush had a mutual respect from rush

on November. Fourth, two thousand eight American made history by lightning is first black president and known for his signature, cutting edge analysis and insight. Rush limbo was quick to explain. Have Iraq Obama was able to convince so many Americans devotion in fact, rush was very detail as to why a bomb as election victory was so decisive. The main reason Obama was elected was a bunch of people in this country very distressed and set up, but the ongoing allegation that they and the rest of the country, where a bunch of racists and bigots- and they believed that if they participated in electing the first african american president that they could do away with that charge, they can do away with that notion. That idea, I firmly believe that the vast majority outside of Democrats for the vast majority of white votes for a bomb were made with that hope. After eight years of conservative leader should whether President George W Bush rush was eager, willing and ready resume his role as chief conservative critic and opposition to the bomb regime, as he frequently label fix what they hear well says it, but not a regime didn't take long for us to start making waves with only four little words just before no duration night. I hope he fails. I wanted Obama to fail so that my country would not. I wanted a bomb as liberal agenda. His socialist community organizer agenda too failed. I did not and never have never will want. America failed, never no way. I wanted American to be saved rush. You found plenty more to criticise. More became the signatures of the Obama administration from vomit care to the closing of get mom.

That's just not how it happens in Washington and he's leaving office having failed to remove one of his main impediments from his equation, and that would be me shudder,
years Obama. He comes into office with me, living rent free in his hand, and I'm still there can be said today that during the Obama Administration rush, limbo was at his best staunchly defending conservative principles and standing up for America and its exceptionalism. But in the end the rat has burst through a bad day. You could touch wrestling by the Obama chapter is, but just eight years of more than thirty of unprecedented broadcast excellence

to the election of Barack Obama. Two thousand eight rustling ball was immediately concerned for the direction America was headed, as he intuitively sends the growing loss of freedoms and liberty to come over the next eight years and as the end of the Obama regime neared, Russia's listeners trusted him more than ever, as conservatism most vocal champion and opinion maker. As a well known business man, a non political outsider, started gaining steal. A longshot bid for the republican presidential nomination rush made clear where his priority stood. Whatever you think, I'm advocating it's not because I care what happens the Republican Party. I care about what happens to America, and I know that any more of what we had the last eight years. It's gotta be America, but it's not gonna. Be America you and I know, as then, candidate Donald Trump took off on a meteoric rise, the mainstream media and political pundits, we're dumbfounded by his success and his refusal to play by the usual tired set of rules, but rush you early on that tromp was different and why he connected with the american people he's real. He
funding is not politically correct to his fearless he's, not afraid to tell people what he actually thinks about other people or things trumpet is showing that the things the Republican Party is afraid of baseless. They don't need to be afraid. With his signature, insight Limbaugh told his listeners why the experts were failing to understand the man who is promising to make Amerika great again, despite the scores of critics and doubters Trump, never gave up any campaign relentlessly right until the early morning, hours of election day November, eight two thousand sixty always choose November maze. You see like it around, plus one o clock. In the morning we re and as America came alive the next morning he discovered tromp have shocked the world with a decisive win over Hillary Clinton. For his part, rushed became one of president trumps, most vocal advocates throughout his presidency and the twenty twenty election he saw Tromp as a united who would be good for America in the long run. It is trying to get as many people in this country as he can to join his movement, he's not trying to lose he's not trying to clean things up and make the party something that it isn't he's trying to rename it reshaping. So there is a party of victory and once the slogan make American right again, America first everything he's talking about is real. The outcome of the last presidential election of Russia's lifetime didn't produce the results for which he had hoped and if the world ever needed his insight and commentary it does today more than ever. But if you listen close, even though the golden key I'd be microphone, sits empty through two speakers of radio stations across the country, you can still hear the man we knew in love. For more than thirty years, the voices offering their opinion on the radio now may be different, but the footsteps in which they follow undoubted belong to rush limbo.
