Buck Sexton: 'Realization of a Dream' to Be Sitting in for Rush Limbaugh

TheBlaze’s very own Buck Sexton is filling in for “America’s anchorman” Rush Limbaugh while he is away on Friday. It will be Sexton’s first time sitting behind the “golden EIB microphone” (though, technically, he will be broadcasting from New York).

“If you told me when I started doing radio in 2013 that by 2014 I would be sitting in for Rush Limbaugh, I would have laughed,” Sexton told TheBlaze. “Today, it is happening, and what would have sounded like a joke then is the realization of a dream now. I couldn’t be more excited, or more thankful, for the opportunity.”​

TheBlaze's Buck Sexton is filling in for legendary radio host Rush Limbaugh on April 18.

A former CIA officer and NYPD Intelligence Division analyst, Sexton is TheBlaze’s national security editor. He is also the host of Buck Sexton on TheBlaze Radio Network from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET, and a co-host of Real News on TheBlaze TV at 6:00 p.m. ET.

TheBlaze Radio Network can be heard on TheBlaze.com, TheBlaze iPhone and iPad apps, and iHeartRadio, Clear Channel’s free digital radio service.

Joel Cheatwood, TheBlaze’s president and chief content officer, said he is “thrilled Buck is a part of TheBlaze team.”

“He truly is a triple threat for us – radio, web, and television – and brings great passion and energy to everything he’s involved with,” Cheatwood remarked.
