Limbaugh revolutionized the media and political&nbsp;landscape with his unprecedented combination of serious discussion&nbsp;of political, cultural and social issues along with satirical and biting humor,&nbsp;which parodies previously &#8220;untouchable&#8221; personalities and topics. His&nbsp;passion inspires millions of Americans to be the best they can be and&nbsp;keeps the country on course to a bright future.<\/p>\n<p>In 1988, Rush launched his phenomenally successful radio broadcast, <em>The Rush Limbaugh Show<sup>(R)<\/sup><\/em>, into national syndication with 56 radio stations. Now, 31 years later, the show is heard on more than 600 stations by up to 27 million people each week and is the highest-rated national radio talk show in America. On February 5, 2020, at the State of the Union Address, President Donald Trump awarded Rush the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation\u2019s highest civilian honor. Rush has also received the Marconi Radio Award five times, and has been inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians, the Radio Hall of Fame and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/AmericasAnchorman2R.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.2.2&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;]&nbsp;[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IWontStopQuote.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.23&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;]&nbsp;[\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/SpecialREcognition.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.2.2&#8243; max_width=&#8221;480px&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Donald Trump (2020)<\/li>\n<li>Five-time winner of the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi&nbsp;Award for &#8220;Excellence in Syndicated and Network Broadcasting&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Children\u2019s Choice Author of the Year,&nbsp;<em>Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims<\/em> (2014)<\/li>\n<li>Author of #1&nbsp;<em>New York Times&nbsp;<\/em>bestselling Adventures of Rush Revere&nbsp;Series, including&nbsp;<em>Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims<\/em>, <em>The First Patriots<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>The American Revolution<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>The Star-Spangled Banner<\/em>,&nbsp;and<em> The Presidency<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Author of&nbsp;<em>The Limbaugh Letter<\/em>, the most widely read political newsletter&nbsp;in the country and two #1 <em>New York Times <\/em>best-selling books,&nbsp;<em>The Way Things Ought to&nbsp;Be <\/em>and&nbsp;<em>See, I Told You So<\/em>, which have sold nearly 10 million copies.&nbsp;Additionally,&nbsp;<em>See, I Told You So&nbsp;<\/em>set an American publishing record<\/li>\n<li>Inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in Chicago in 1993<\/li>\n<li>Inducted into the&nbsp;National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1998<\/li>\n<li>Inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians on May 14, 2012 at the&nbsp;State Capitol building in Jefferson City<\/li>\n<li>Hosted <em>Rush Limbaugh &#8211; The Television Show<\/em> in New York from 1992&nbsp;through 1996<\/li>\n<li>Received a personal letter from President Ronald Reagan thanking him and naming him the &#8220;Number One voice for conservatism in our Country&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Invited to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House by President George H.

Tired of the disc jockey life, Rush briefly left broadcasting for business, joining the Kansas City Royals as Director of Group Sales, and later as Director of&nbsp;Sales and Special Events.<\/p>\n<p>Rush couldn\u2019t resist the urge to return to broadcasting. In 1983, he re-entered radio as a political commentator for KMBZ in Kansas City. A year later Rush&nbsp;hosted a daytime talk show in Sacramento, California, tripling the program\u2019s ratings in four years. From there, in 1988, he went on to New York where the&nbsp;record-breaking national show was born.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;50px|0|50px|0&#8243; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_code admin_label=&#8221;Fullwidth Code&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;background-color: #000;&#8221;] [\/et_pb_fullwidth_code][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;50px|0|50px|0&#8243; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_code admin_label=&#8221;Fullwidth Code&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;padding-top:20px;||padding-bottom:20px;||background-color: #000;&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_code][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; inner_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.2.2&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||||true|true&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-template-blank.php","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<div class=\"about_page\"><section class=\"main-content\"><div class=\"about_us\"><div class=\"about_first_grid\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row align-items-center\"><div class=\"about_top_left col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-12\"><div class=\"about_inner\"><p><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/ABout.jpg\" alt=\"ABout\"><b><span class=\"et-dropcap\" style=\"font-size: 60px; color: #ffffff;\">R<\/span>ush Limbaugh, the \"Doctor of Democracy,\" is known as the pioneer of\u00a0AM radio.
