I disagree with the premise.

Rush was a rare talent. Having several commentators in the Conservative sphere is not hurting us.

I particularly like Dan Bongino, who has an excellent command of the facts both on firearms and federal law enforcement.

Those were weak areas for Rush.

I miss Rush terribly. I haven’t listened to talk radio since he passed.

I would say Rush planted, and gave example of success.

It is quite Possible that his era was necessary formation for many the future generation of conservatives.

Hard to tell yet, because these things are seen by the fruits.

The gift that Rush left behind is millions of us who can see the stiches on a fast ball.

Although I know that Rush can never be replaced I ask about Dr Steve Turley?

I have been watching his videos on You Tube and he seems loke a rational voice worth hearing?

What say others?

Looking at the state of affairs in the U.S., where in hell have these “Conservatives” been for 40+ years?

Beside trying to undermine, compromise and overthrow Trump, what have they done?

I think a lot of the conservative media went slack not long after Rush left, and it could be because they don’t necessarily want to have to listen to a voice like his. What they have now is nothing but their own instincts and intuitions, and without Rush’s great guidance, they know they’re on their own. Not only is he gone too soon, but his influence may also have gone too soon as well.

I started listening to Rush when he was a local show on KFBK in Sacramento. Scrolling through the wasteland that was the AM dial one day that booming, confident voice grabbed me immediately. He was sooo funny, his show was something like Firesign Theater for conservatives.
He changed AM radio. Conservative talk radio became a more widespread format for a lot of stations after he showed the way.
Maybe what I liked best about him is that he loved radio. He loved the work.
And he knew what all the radio greats know, no matter how large the audience, for the listener, it’s a one-on-one experience. Whoever is behind the mic is talking only to you.

Rush made me think. The closest host for me is Mark Levin.

Andrew Wilkow does a great job. He’s on satellite radio in the same time slot as Rush’s. I find his show a good listen though I really do miss Rush.

Since he left 12 to 3pm hasn’t been the same.

After years of my internal alarm clock sounding off at 9:06 am Pacific time, it has faded.

Rush taught us how to think and analyze the enemy.

Advanced Conservative Studies, right?

Now we know how to ‘follow the money trail’, ‘know them like the back of my nicotine stained hand’, etc.

So we can do a lot of the work on our own now.

Backed up by ‘alternate’ sources like FR, InfoWars, multiple talk shows, Tucker (for now), blogs, etc.

And I believe Rush’s show started all the alternate sources we now have.

Thanks Rush.

I couldn’t bring myself to listen’s Rush’s last week and his goodbye. I always listened at work and would have been a mess. Like many of you, I have not gone back to talk radio. This forum is all that fills the void left by Rush.
I did see Jordan Peterson here in Cincinnati and was impressed. I had never heard of him and didn’t do any research before going. I had no idea what to expect. An hour monologue without taking a break or getting a drink of water. I told my friend, Rush is the only person I know who could pull this off.

Clay & Buck are alright but no substitute for Rush. And I’ve cared for the co-host format.

‘All truth is God’s truth.’

the author deals in hubris; correctly stated, the line should have read “I believe all truth is God’s truth...’

are truisms expounded by those who don’t adhere to the author’s preferred divinity proclivities nothing but a pack of lies...?

One of Rush’s greatest strengths was his ability to play skillfully with ideas. He’d acquired what Oscar Wilde described as the “Oxford temper.”

This is important. It's a huge thing, not a minor thing. The ability to rely at the truth, unless you have the gift of divine inspiration, is that you have to test ideas against reality unitl you find the best fit. This requires picking them up, trying them out, seeing what they can do, modifying them to fit and discarding them when they do not serve.
