On his radio program Monday, Rush Limbaugh shocked the world by announcing that he was recently diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. The next day, President Trump took a moment in the middle of his State of the Union address to honor Limbaugh by awarding him with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. After a three-day hiatus, Limbaugh returned to his top-rated show on Friday and declared himself “one of the luckiest people alive.” He also told the memorable story of how Trump convinced him, last second, to come to the State of the Union address despite having his first medical treatment for cancer the same day.
“What a week. What an incredible week,” Limbaugh exclaimed at the start of his talk radio show Friday. “I mean, from beginning to end. And it’s still going. And there is still winning that’s happening today. Just incredible.”
