BRETT: In the months since the passing of Rush, one of the things that has struck me consistently was how many people had such high regard for what it was Rush was able to do. Not just behind the Golden EIB Microphone, and not just as a trailblazer in talk radio or the accolades and achievements as a Hall of Fame broadcaster and a winner — a winner for 30-plus years behind the microphone and, of course, being honored by President Trump State of the Union Address last year. What I hear so much from so many is how charitable the force of EIB was.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Rush talking about it.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I thought it would be helpful to define conservatism for people because nobody else was. Everybody just assumed conservatism\u2019s this or that, small government, less taxes, you know, all this stuff, but it\u2019s really about people. It\u2019s about our understandings of people. It\u2019s about our faith, trust in people. It\u2019s about the knowledge that it is people that make a great nation. It\u2019s ordinary people pursuing and accomplishing extraordinary things with the freedom and the ambition to do so. And I just thought it needed to be pointed out.<\/p>\n

\"\"The reason I wanted to relive it is because we\u2019ve put together a montage that will demonstrate the love and compassion that you in this audience have shown consistently for 31 years. Despite all the attempts to impugn you and me, to criticize us, to label us improperly as racists, as sexists, or bigots. While our critics supposedly own all of the compassion and decency, these are the true tightwads that don\u2019t donate to anything. Their own cities are drug infested, feces infested, rat infested, and they sit there and attack us. For 31 years, you have proven and demonstrated time and time again my explanation of who we as conservatives are.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (10.19.07) The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation<\/a>, it\u2019s now official, is going to get in excess of $4.2 million, because I am matching Betty Casey\u2019s bid on eBay — $4.2 million.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (12.04.12) Because of you, Two If By Tea has donated over $1 million in product and monetary donations to incredible causes, including the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (04.28.03) Folks, you have done it again. You exceeded $1 million in charitable donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (04.21.08) We ended up with a total take of $2,519,643 with the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society Radiothon last week.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (04.16.12) Yes, my friends, it was a record. Leukemia-Lymphoma Society<\/a> radiothon. Excess of $3 million.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (04.11.16) It was another record amount donated — and, folks, it is phenomenal. The final number\u2019s gonna come somewhere north of $3 million.<\/p>\n
