Transcript from the Official Rush Limbaugh website – December of 2020
Rush…“A yearly tradition. We wrap up with Mannheim Steamroller and Silent Night, and my ongoing attempts to thank everybody in the audience – all of you – for everything you mean to me. That last call. That reminds me how much I love all of you, how much I so appreciate everything you’ve meant to me and my family.
You don’t have any idea how…I know so many people think this program has changed their lives for the better. You have no idea what you all have meant to me and my family. The day’s gonna come, folks, where I’m not gonna be able to do this. I don’t know when that is. I want to be able to do it for as long as I want to do it.”

As we gather together for the Christmas season, let’s take a moment to remember and honor the indomitable spirit of Rush Limbaugh. His voice resonated with so many, and his legacy continues to inspire. To all you Rush and MAGA friends out there, this message is for you.
Whether you’re surrounded by loved ones or spending the season in solitude, know that your presence in this movement matters. Your presence on the earth matters. To those brimming with joy and good health, may your holiday season be a time of gratitude and generosity. And to those facing struggles – be it the weight of sadness, the challenges of illness, or the trials life brings – may you find comfort in the enduring strength of community, the reason for the season, and God’s grace.
Christmas is a time to celebrate not only the joy of the season but the connections we share, whether near or far, strong or fragile. So I wish every one of you a Merry Christmas filled with peace, resilience, and the courage to face whatever comes your way. Cheers to you all, and may the new year bring brighter days and renewed strength.
