Dan Bangeino. Welcome to the Bangeino brief. I'm Dan Bangeino.

You know, I don't like to repeat things I said on Fox, but given the tragedy of losing

Rush Limbaugh, the Godfather, it's important I repeat again that people have asked me often,

you know, what do you think made Rush so popular? And I always give the example of the French expression,

we pulled into English, you know, the, the genus say, Quai, right? The genus say, Quai, use it all

the time. And I think the direct translation I don't speak French is I don't know what. And what

it means is it's a, it's a, it's a way to sum up the X factor like what made Rush Limbaugh so great.

And the answer is nobody could tell you if they knew it, they'd be Rush Limbaugh.

What was it that he was, you know, that he was funny? A lot of people are funny. Levin can be hilarious.

Limbaugh was funny. So it wasn't just that. A lot of radio hosts are funny and I've no

wanting it's at all. Was that he understood conservatism? We all understand conservatism.

Was it that he told cool stories? I don't know. I'd like to think we all tell cool stories.

What was it? Was he, as he said all the time, the big, lovable fuzz ball? Was that it? Remember that?

I don't know. I have no idea.

I don't know. Jenna say Qua, but Rush had the Qua. Whatever the Qua is, Rush had the Qua.

If I knew what it was, I bottle it and sell it and I'd be a trillionaire. I have no idea.

I know he was special and I know he's not replaceable. He will be replaced, but he's not replaceable.

There's a difference. All right. Just see as a quick video, this is just worth playing again

today. The great President Donald J. Trump giving the great Rush Limbaugh, the presidential medal

of freedom. This is just a minute of that. It's just worth checking out again today. Take a look. Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man, beloved by millions of Americans who just received a stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis.

This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet. Rush Limbaugh, thank you for your decades of powerless devotion to our country.

And Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and that you inspire and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity.
