Glenn Beck says Charlie Kirk surpassed Rush Limbaugh by miles

Glenn Beck just honored Charlie Kirk in the most powerful way yet...by placing Rush Limbaugh’s golden microphone on the Charlie Kirk Show desk. The mic was a gift from Rush’s widow to Beck. And now, it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone. Beck then shared a story...

“I want to share a story…that I’ve never shared before and I so regret that we ran out of time.”

“It’s a story that I had hoped to tell Charlie myself in the next couple of months.”

“When I first met Charlie…and this is the kind of guy he was…he was so gracious, when I first met him, he was young.”

“And I said, so, what do you want to do? What is it you want? What? What do you want to do?”

“So gracious, he said, I want to be you. I want to do what you do.”

“Let me translate: I want to be Rush Limbaugh. He didn’t want to be me. He wanted to be Rush Limbaugh. He wanted to be one of the, as Rush said, radio’s greatest of all time.”

“And I remember thinking, well, kid, maybe someday because I think you have it.”

“I brought something with me today that I thought was appropriate while I did the show, that I would sit in front of Charlie’s microphone. It was given to me after the death of Rush Limbaugh by his wife.”

“It is Rush’s golden microphone.”

“I think it’s appropriate that it sits in front of Charlie’s microphone.”

“What I would have said to Charlie was, you were thinking too small.”

“I want to be Rush Limbaugh someday.”

“I’m a broadcaster. Rush was a broadcaster, but Charlie was a broadcaster and a narrowcaster.”

“Charlie was a pastor and a priest.”

“And listening to the way he could argue and think differently, he was a rabbi as well, and one of the best.”

“He was a political organizer.”

“He was a political think tank himself.”

“He was a compassionate friend.”

“He surpassed Rush Limbaugh…by miles.”
