Rush Limbaugh celebrated his 30th anniversary in broadcasting today August 1, 2018. In a rare and shocking moment, President Trump called the iconic radio show host to congratulate him and discuss some of his plans going forward.
Rush asked the President a very interesting question while he had him on the air.
RUSH: I told you, any time you want to appear here, you are more than welcome. I don’t want to hound you by asking you because everybody’s doing that, trying to get you. But, man, this is great. I’m so flattered. While I have you, can I say something back at you here?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, go ahead, Rush. Go ahead.
RUSH: Are you aware…? I have to think you are when you go to your rallies.
THE PRESIDENT: Right.
RUSH: Are you aware of what you mean to everybody who voted for you and I think a bunch of who didn’t who want to the next time around? People have invested their hopes and their futures in this country being made great again and saved in you. Are you…? When you’re alone — which you may not ever be. But when you’re alone in the White House, do you think about that? Do you ponder what you’ve come to mean to people?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I love these people. And, you know, you probably saw last night I was in Florida and we had 9,000 seats in the auditorium.
RUSH: Oh, yeah.
THE PRESIDENT: That was packed, and we had thousands outside and in these rooms all over the place. I guess they had at least 15,000, 18,000 people that couldn’t get in last night — which I hate. So we’re actually starting to put up big screens. I must tell you, it’s such an honor to me to see this. This love! I don’t know if you were able to see it last night, any of them. I mean, there’s such tremendous love. I’m going to Ohio on Saturday, and tomorrow I’m going to Pennsylvania, and it’s the same thing.
It’s like the enthusiasm — and part of it is that they’ve really been mistreated for so many years by the politicians. The country’s been mistreated. The trade deals were so bad. The taxes were so high. The tax cuts are so good; they’ve been so appreciated by so many people. The cut in regulations maybe is just as important as the tax cuts because businesses are hiring like they haven’t, like they’ve never hired before. And, you know, we have a more interesting stat: We have more people working in the United States today than at any time in our history. And it’s been so many different things are happening. So there’s a tremendous amount of love in the room, and I am aware of it; there’s no question about it.
So the President had three things to say in response. First he said that he loves his supporters, second he said that he is amazed by the love and enthusiasm of his supporters, and third he acknowledges that many Americans have been mistreated by their own government. Donald Trump ran for President because he loves America, and he loves the citizens of this great country. It is obvious from his response that he is very humbled by the great trust and responsibility given to him by his people. He has promised yet again to continue to work hard to make America great again.
Congratulation Rush for thirty great years in broadcasting and thank you for all that you do.
