As a young man I liked Donahue and started listening to Rush around 1990. Stopped around 94 or 95, because he seemed cold hearted on some of his positions. Never the less, the logic of his conservative point of view had intrigued me so much that I couldnt shake the obvious that he had pointed out daily. That the lefts' position on almost everything was illogical and absurd. As mean spirited as I thought Rush was, I couldnt deny the absurdity of the left. Now, 30 years later, Im grateful for that man. I grew up intellectually, because of Rush. And now more than ever, I understand why it is so difficult for liberals to jump ship. But this I know, from the depths of my soul....Rush was right all along, and Donahue was just a sympathizer with a TV show. We lost a great man last week. God bless you Mr. Limbaugh.

Labelling anyone as "nazi" was frowned upon in 1992 but standard operating procedure in 2020.
I would say it was more shocking than just frowned upon, which is why donohue opened the interview with that.
And this is why when a liberal tells me that such & such a GOP candidate is a Nazi, my thought is can you try some originality, pls?
Specially when they control the media ban and censor people just like Hitler did.
Only now it seems heavily used by the Dem progressives who successfully make the label stick. Look at the creation of the alt-right where they get the FBI investigating even libertarians.
In 1992 we had no idea how far, and how deep into fascism, and Nazism, that the right wing in America would go. Today to call them Nazis is perfectly appropriate, because their actions, their speeches, and their new philosophy is as close to Nazi Germany as you can get.

"Balled" doesn't mean "cried"; it's "bawled", you fucking idiot. Yep...Trump and Rush appeal to the stupid.
@James Davenport Anybody who thinks "balled" means the same thing as "cried" is out of one's depth form an opinion or engage in meaningful discourse. My experience over the past several years on social media is that incorrect placement of homonyms and general spelling, grammar and syntax errors come from Republicans and Christ fetishists.
@@troyevitt2437 I have an ongoing battle with my phone changing what I write. People change spelling all the time with texting as well. No one is writing a term paper here that needs to be graded. One might wonder why you are so cruel over a mere comment....
@@carolmurray5799 it's not gonna change "bawled" to "balled" because both words are correctly spelled words. Most systems only spell-check; they can't context-check words with multiple homonyms.
@@troyevitt2437 I have watched my phone change all kinds of words. That still doesn't address your aggressive tone. Why so harsh?

I forgot what a prink Donahue was...lol.. I did enjoy watching Rush.. He will be missed more then Donahue for sure.
We can see here why Rush had to tie half his brain behind his back. His detractors just could not keep up.
I think he was referring to his drug addiction when he said half his brain tied behind his back.
@@rileymod2523 No. The phrase was "half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair".
Also, you seem to be resorting to the well worn trope of his addiction to pain killers. This is something used to try to attack his character or talent when you can't generate a substantive argument.
He was a horrible man.
@@charlesfoutch1132 He was a great man.
@@charlesfoutch1132 Why was he horrible? He seems to be someone who had common sense.
"Women are not helpless but when sexual harrassment comes along they're being told to act like they are." --Rush Limbaugh. If only people would listen.
You should a real book once in a while Pat. You know; set a bold precedent........

@@davidowens5898 Should what a real book?

I was never a huge Rush Limbaugh fan, as there were many other conservative voices that I listen to. Everybody from Breitbart to Shapiro to Dinesh to Levin, those were the voices that I gravitated to..... After watching him in this interview, however, he was a far more decent man than 90% of that audience.
@Aleksa Kole Oh I agree.....Rush pioneered it all. No doubt.
Antagonist.
I can’t believe people actually watched this crap. Rush was a very intelligent man, too intelligent for Donahue.
Not at all. This was a very good, enlightening exchange between two great broadcasters on opposite political sides. Wish this could still take place today.
Yes Phil played to his audience but he was no dummy.
Rush is right again. Just one woman on PMS is enough to break any hardened man's will.
Caller 2: “Rush is a symbol of rising fascism. So we should eliminate his free speech.” Lololololololol
And he called her on it! 💯🎯
Now it's RUclips and Facebook and social media doing it!
Germany outlawed the Nazi party because it fueled hate and disruption to a peaceful society. They learned some hard truths that America needs to learn.
that’s like saying you’re voting for the swamp because P45 didn’t drain it. Democrat statists don’t think things through very well, do they. you can’t even call them liberals or progressive. They’re totalitarian statists with anger mgt problems. I can’t imagine the collective cognitive dissonance when they all finally realize they’re just lowly deplorables.
The reality is that those who are acting like fascists will never believe that they are because they think that what they are doing is "for the greater good," unaware that that's exactly what fascists thought.
Truly sad this man left us
The caller saying Rush was a fascist. Ahhh glad to remember how little things have changed
Anyone who doesn't agree with them gets a label, so they don't have to debate anything. Rule #1.
@Kerry Foerster He preferred an economic model of socialist authoritarianism through corporate cronyinsm? I don't think so.
@@responsiblejerk2328 One can support both and or be both.
@FREE SPEECH There *
Learn the difference if you want to be taken seriously. Otherwise, people might think you're just an ignorant, asinine trumper. Nobody wants that.
He WAS a fascist. And if you refuse to admit to the fascism in this nation, you are too. What in the world do you think fascism is?
Wow, Rush quickly made Phil look like a fool and a rank amateur.
Phil had a talent for doing that to himself a lot. I couldn't stand to watch his lousy show 30 years ago.
@@marciadiehl5733 he should've hired people to cry and roll around on stage like Springer
@@hughbetcha436 LOL!
@@marciadiehl5733 Ashamed to say I was not so smart back then. I actually thought Phil Donahue was wise. It took the events of 9/11 to open my eyes to people like him.
Rush molded my mind of mush since 1988
Watching this in January 2024 start listening to Rush in the summer of 1988. What a legend
Donahue made no effort to introduce Rush in a respectful way.
Boohoo
Russ predicted antifa and sjw's 30 year ago
Russ who? Russ Francis?
Rush also predicted that voting would eventually become a thing of the past.
@@OOICU812 the prophecy has fulfilled. It's not about the votes anymore when you need the results "fortified" to make sure only one result is allowed.
Phil is a complete jerk. He could just as questions without trying to insult.
Donahue couldn't hold a candle to Rush.
But there is the problem, Phil and his ilk have dismissed the other side before they are PERMITTED to speak.
Don't doubt for a minute that Donahue was selected by the left to be on TV and move America's goal posts.....same as everyone on TV or media is doing today.
Was Phil attacking Rush or interviewing him,is that how you treat a guest ?Also I broke up with a girl because she hated Rush.
Bravo sir 👏
@@loadtoad714 freaks
Honest, humorous, and humble with flare was the Rush Limbaugh I listened to. He will always be Radio Gold! RIP Mr. Limbaugh.
Humble? In what world?
Personally humble, never on the air though....
Limbaugh and humility can't be shared in the same sentence
This may have only been a hour of Rush but it was still the highlight of my day. Thank you
If this happened today, the majority of the audience would not be able to endure it
All too many don't know how to LISTEN
@trollnerd From YOUR perspective! That's why they're called "opinions."
@@bradsmack1 That sounds bad ass
Rush could not endure five minutes on a treadmill so I guess him and the audience are even.
@@bradsmack1nah. J6ers would be as would the Matt Gaetz crowd
Dam..Rush was a prophet. Rush destroyed Phil one on one.
One of a kind
Phil Donahue should forever be grateful for the day that Rush Limbaugh graced his show and ashamed of the way he treated his superior.
He used Rush for ratings but Rush wiped the floor with him with class and respect
Sounds to me like if half the audience was against Rush going in only about a quarter we’re hostile by the time he was done.
He was right thirty years ago just like he was right three weeks agp. There will never be another Rush.
I was thinking the same thing, unhappy looks and then clapping towards the end.
Dito
God bless Rush!
Mega dittos
Wow, 28 years later and Rush still has a consistent moral compass, he's consistently right, and liberals are still condescending to the point that they don't listen. And when they don't listen, they don't learn and grow, i.e. "progress". Yet they call themselves "Progressive"??? Keep up the good fight Rush!
Randy Smith yea ok idiot
@@justininvestor Look at you with your leftist response. Calling someone names instead of countering their argument. Like a child on a playground.
@@justininvestor
You just proved the nature of projection.
If this is 'progress', I'll stay put. This idiot and his so-called 'wisdom' are good for one thing and one thing only: Feeding the 'Ditto-heads' a constant stream of lies and distortions.
Ditto-heads. Pretty much sums up his followers.
@@justininvestor please confirm you came up with this gem of a retort on your own, so nobody will think I put you up to it to prove my point. And thank you!
47:11 The genius and prognostic ability of Rush. He singled out Barney Frank as a particularly destructive liberal 16 years before he became one of the architects of the 2008 economic collapse. Damn Rush was good !
Rush Limbaugh has enlightened and improved the political debate in America. Over 30 years and counting and he has not changed his opinions or beliefs. Thank you Rush for trying to conserve our founding principles. A life well lived. God bless and God speed.
This guy exposed these idiots way way long ago. The country is FINALLY catching up.
Phil Donahue is still scared to debate
he really doesn't debate. he more accuses.
@@jameshudson169 And interrupts constantly so the interviewee cannot defend his or her positions. This is why Phil is no longer on TV.
@@marciadiehl5733 I’m surprised by that considering that’s how almost everyone on CNN and MSNBC (not to mention George Stephenopoulos) treats Conservative guests.
The Mayor of Realville, The Doctor of Democracy, America's real anchorman. Love you Rush R.I.P
Wow...
All with half his Brain tied behind his back !
I wish we could clone him!
Maja Rushie... for those in Rio Linda... LOL
I never watched Phil back then and it’s no wonder. He’s an absolutely terrible host. Rush handled him like a pro. RIP Rush, the greatest conservative mind of all time.
You must be a pussy if you think Donahue was attacking Rush. All talk show hosts ask the toughest questions. I've listened to Rush since 1986. Long before you ever did. It was way more entertaining from 86 to when he went national.
As a junior in high school in 1992 i really wish my parents were ditto heads. We lost a great man. Not perfect but spoke the truth. Without him I would have probably fell for the lie of Liberalism.
Me too.
Absolutely, and Conservatism is THE inherently true philosophy, the objectively superior sociopolitical brand! Yes, sir.
Ah, man lol.
Spoke the truth. There were countless verifiable lies on every episode of his radio shows. Nice to see all the sheep came out to watch this.
As a young man I liked Donahue and started listening to Rush around 1990. Stopped around 94 or 95, because he seemed cold hearted on some of his positions. Never the less, the logic of his conservative point of view had intrigued me so much that I couldnt shake the obvious that he had pointed out daily. That the lefts' position on almost everything was illogical and absurd. As mean spirited as I thought Rush was, I couldnt deny the absurdity of the left. Now, 30 years later, Im grateful for that man. I grew up intellectually, because of Rush. And now more than ever, I understand why it is so difficult for liberals to jump ship. But this I know, from the depths of my soul....Rush was right all along, and Donahue was just a sympathizer with a TV show. We lost a great man last week. God bless you Mr. Limbaugh.
As contrasting a duo as you will find. lol
R.I.P. Mr. Limbaugh
back when audiences were for the most part respectful. No jeering, no tantrums, no canceling, and little if any picketing
It wasn’t about them being respectful then as it is they are told to be rambunctious now
@John Kyle Any broken windows? Bear spray? Bullet proof vests? Deaths?
@Jack Ophelott Truth will come to light about that whole event and it won't look good for those who hired those people to dress as Trump supporters to cause this disturbance. Listen to Candace Owens take on the whole thing. She lives in DC.

Dont care what the naysayers say about Rush--he was #1 for a reason and so enjoyed the satires and 'songs' of the early years on Barney Frank, Jesse Jackson, the "Born Free" satire song..to name just a few. Oh, yes, I miss Rush! Thanks for the memories!!
I will be shedding many tears in the days ahead! Did not know him personally but he grabbed my heart right from the very start! RIP Rush!
