"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."
"Beck presented the microphone during a choked-up monologue at the start of The Charlie Kirk Show, which he was guest-hosting. The veteran right-wing broadcaster placed Limbaugh's microphone, which he received after Limbaugh died in 2021, right in front of Kirk's microphone; the camera then panned to the two microphones and the empty chair that Kirk typically sat in during each episode."
Glenn Beck presented Rush Limbaugh's gold microphone to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk while guest-hosting The Charlie Kirk Show, delivering an emotional monologue. Beck placed Limbaugh's microphone in front of Kirk's mic as the camera panned to the two microphones and Kirk's empty chair. Beck recalled meeting Kirk at 17 and said Kirk had wanted to emulate Limbaugh but ultimately surpassed him across roles as broadcaster, narrowcaster, pastor, priest, rabbi, political organizer, and think tank. Beck regretted not giving the microphone in person and was visibly rocked and tearful after learning Kirk died from a gunshot wound to the neck.
