Summary
Few people on earth can say they’ve known Rush Limbaugh literally since the day they were born, but James Golden speaks with a man who certainly can: David Limbaugh, Rush’s brother. Lawyer, best-selling author and devoted younger brother, David shares stories of mischief and childhood in the Limbaugh house and gives a look behind the scenes as Rush's career progressed from the early days in Cape Girardeau, Missouri to Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Sacramento, and ultimately New York City, the original home of the nationally syndicated The Rush Limbaugh Show. This episode also contains an appearance by Mark Levin, a longtime friend of Rush, who narrates a special feature dedicated to Rush’s transition from Top 40 DJ to talk radio icon.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 4 of Rush Limbaugh, the man behind the Golden EIB microphone. |
| 0:05.2 | If you haven't heard episodes 1-3, you can always go back and listen to those exclusive stories |
| 0:11.6 | from people who knew Rush on and off the air, including Don and Brian who were with Rush |
| 0:16.9 | and me in the EIB Southern Command Studio every day for more than 20 years. |
| 0:22.0 | But today, we have a very special episode for you. We have a chance to hear from Rush's brother, |
| 0:28.3 | David Limbaugh. Now, I've known David for a very long time, decades, and David and I are friends, |
| 0:38.9 | and I want to say something about David, and this is very touching to me, and it's something that I |
| 0:46.9 | will always remember. When the day that day that Rush gave us the bad news about his diagnosis, |
| 0:55.2 | it was a very tough day. I got a call before the show ended that day from David, and David just said, |
| 1:07.2 | James, I'm just calling to see whether you're all right. We're all worried about you because we know |
| 1:12.0 | how much you love Rush. Of course, I broke down. And of course, you know, David was just as emotional as |
| 1:20.8 | David can be under those kind of circumstances. We were all just on the edge. And that's who David is, |
| 1:28.6 | and that's who this family is. I knew Rush and David's mom, Millie, and I hung out with Millie. |
| 1:38.4 | And I rocked David's, one of David's daughters, to sleep while we were all traveling somewhere with Rush |
| 1:48.7 | to one of our great traveling adventures. I don't even remember where we were going, but I just |
| 1:54.9 | remember hanging out with them. You hear this expression, the salt of the earth. The Limbaugh family, |
| 2:02.0 | I've met so many of them. These people are the people that you would want to be your neighbors. They're |
| 2:09.3 | the people you would want to be your friends. These are the people that you would want to be your family. |
| 2:16.6 | And you'd be grateful if you were in their family. Not only do they love this country, |
| 2:24.5 | not only do they love their family, they love their friends, and they create an incredibly loving |
| 2:32.4 | environment, and it is so easy for me to see where Rush came from by knowing his family. |
| 2:47.8 | You are at the EIB Network, and the Rush Limbaugh program heard on over 600 great radio stations. |
