I, like you, very much wish Rush was behind this golden microphone right now, welcoming you to another exceptional three hours of broadcasting. For over 32 years, Rush has cherished you, his loyal audience, and always looked forward to every single show. It is with profound sadness I must share with you directly that our beloved Rush, my wonderful husband, passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conservative broadcasters, who largely recognize Limbaugh as a titan of the trade who paved the way for right-wing media, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/conservative-broadcasters-pay-tribute-to-rush-limbaugh-an-icon-a-patriot\">remembered<\/a> the late host in statements and interviews, praising his courage during his fight with cancer and his legacy as the most listened to talk show host of all time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRIP Rush Limbaugh, the creator of talk radio and by extension the alternative media, an indispensable and iconic conservative voice,\u201d tweeted Ben Shapiro, editor emeritus of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn Beck, founder of the radio and television network The Blaze, said: \u201cNo words \u2026 I just got news the Rush Limbaugh has passed away. [T]hanks Rush for all you taught, gave and were. A hero to many. An icon. A patriot. A revolutionary that saved radio. Heavens [sic] gain, our loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conservative talk show hosts Mark Levin and Sean Hannity marked Limbaugh\u2019s passing in separate interviews on Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a tremendously sad day for those who love this country,\u201d Levin said, \u201ca tremendously sad day for those who salute the flag and embrace the military and law enforcement, a tremendously sad day because we\u2019ve lost Thomas Paine. We\u2019ve lost a voice like no other and like there will never be again, and particularly at a time when we need a voice like his.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no talk radio as we know it without Rush Limbaugh. It just doesn\u2019t exist, and I\u2019d even make the argument in many ways there\u2019s no Fox News or even some of these other opinionated cable networks,\u201d Hannity said. \u201cHe literally did something that nobody at the time ever thought was possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
