I absolutely LOVED the fact that Rush was stunned and humbled by the award. It was one of about a half dozen times during the speech that I found my eyes welling up with tears.
Rush is an American Patriot of the First Order. For POTUS DJT to honor him in this way tells me that our President PAYS ATTENTION to what we, the unsung, unknown and overlooked hold dear. Rush has been OUR voice for decades. This was beautifully orchestrated, perfectly timed, and well-deserved.

Rush Limbaugh with his Medal of Freedom.
Keep up the good fight!👍
I wish him the best with his battle against cancer. 🙏
@redwhitebluedude @spinmaven @JohnCParnell such an honor. and folks don't typically realize Rush is deaf
@captwfcall @spinmaven @JohnCParnell
Doesn't he have a cochlear implant?? I think that allows him to hear.
@redwhitebluedude @spinmaven @JohnCParnell he does, but he hears things differently.. which he sometimes reveals on his broadcasts
@redwhitebluedude @spinmaven @JohnCParnell *someone will/should check me on this, but it wasnt like he got his hearing restored as we know. it was different...relearning how to hear entirely
@captwfcall @redwhitebluedude @spinmaven @JohnCParnell
Yes, he talked on his show about how his hearing is different since he got CI. For instance, he talked about how he can't recognize the new songs. He could only enjoy the old music he listened to growing up.
@Argentum47 @sgsterp @captwfcall @redwhitebluedude @spinmaven You will get no argument from me. 🙂
@redwhitebluedude @spinmaven @JohnCParnell think about the words he messed up, or how confused he got when callers spoke quickly. Bo was his crutch (IMO) and it worked
