Rush is gone, sadly.  First time I heard him, I was driving around Chicago, WLS on the radio, and following the shot, Roe came on with some snarky comment, "Well, that's the new guy, interesting, we'll see how long he lasts.." - it might have actually been the first day of his national syndication.  Anyhow... there's only ONE Rush.  No idea what's gonna happen next. 

If I could VOTE someone in, as the Rush replacement - I'd pick Jason Lewis.
Heard him years ago on his broadcast, before his successful congressional run, called his show several times, he was a real breath of fresh air in the evenings - this was before Mark Levin was carried locally.

For me, Jason Lewis is easy-on-the-ears too.   Something I cannot say about the other big conservative talk show guns.... you know who they are.

I would prefer  Clay Travis. He  is the Rush Limbaugh of sports talk. Very  conservative and occasionally  gets  into politics. I  listen to him in the  mornings and  its cool to get a  non leftist view  of sports. Rush got  his start  in sports.

"Before we dive into the mailbag, let me leave you with this fact: if you're under fifty years old you, were nearly as likely to be murdered in the past year as you were to die of COVID. How would you have responded if you'd invited friends out to dinner and they'd refused to go because they were afraid they might get murdered — or die in a traffic accident driving to the restaurant, which was also far more likely? You'd have thought they were insane, right? (Or maybe a Mexican drug lord with a hit out on them.) Yet we've so normalized an inability to process and analyze risk that instead of calling out your friends for idiocy, we've turned extreme safetyism into a virtue. It's madness."

Just a sample from Clay Travis

What about Dan Bongino?

Talk radio is pretty much dead to me now that Rush is gone.
When Reagan left office, I thought we'd never see another in my life span, but Trump came forward, so I have hope another Rush is just now entering the political radio spectrum.

At the moment, there isn't one I'll listen to.

That's what I was wondering, I read Bongino was taking over May 24th, TODAY - so I tuned in... curiosity.
https://www.westernjournal.com/rush-limbaughs-replacement-officially-announced/

"A news release from Westwood One said that "The Dan Bongino Show" will launch May 24 in the noon to 3 p.m. Eastern Time slot."

Jason Lewis was hosting - I couldn't listen to the entire show, missed the first 20min, and heard about 30min past that.  Since I like Jason Lewis - if he got some humorous stuff, like Rush had, meh.... could be nice background noise.

One thing I don't need while I'm trying to work, high energy, intensity talk ... just give me some conservative, funny stuff occasionally... or I gotta turn it off.

Like you, I am pretty limited, thought I AGREE with much of what they might say. 
"Sickem Mark, go get 'em!!!"  >click< radio off, I'm sorry... can't deal with it.
"Sickem Sean Hannity, go get 'em!"  >bang-bang-bang<  kills the radio... heard those 3-4 phrases repeated too many times.

Sorry, just can't listen, it's like a Cat being petted backwards!  annoying.

Yep, after 10 minutes they all sound like Mike Savage.
Rush had a gift of suspense, humor and the insider info we all tuned in for. It was 3 hrs of entertainment that won't soon be replaced.

Last time I heard *anything* about Savage... he felt Donald Trump "snubbed" him ...and was trying to claim credit for *launching* Trump's campaign into the stratosphere.  Like Trump would have gotten *nowhere* - were it not for Savage.   >click< - >bang-bang-bang<  >what?... still talking...?  >bang-bang-bang<  (sound of breaking plastic being run over by a truck...).   I got no patience for shock-jocks or whatever they're called.

Bill O'Riley and Michael Savage would make a good "Talk-show cage match"      ... I might tune in to hear that one.

Bill O'Reilly is still claiming that there was no fraud in last year's election.

Staying on the air - CYA - self-censorship - did I miss anything about O-Really O'Reilly? 
Next book ... "Killing O'Reilly's Career" or would it be "Killing O'Reilly's Audience"?

Clay is a leftist.  He's not on the woke train, so he can appear as normal, but he's a lib.

That was pretty much the case for me once Boortz retired.   I'd listen to a lot of Levin and catch Rush when I could, but there's nobody calling me back to talk radio.

Really, the only one I think I'd tune into now is probably Bannon.  I like his show and he goes to where the others fear: the battle to take back our elections.

If you're not on pushing that, I pretty much have no use for you.

I hadn't even considered him, but yeah, Hell yeah! I'd tune in every damn day!
