This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast.

Hey, folks, it's great to be back.

Really great to be back.

And I need to ask you a favor.

I need you to give me a few minutes here just to get my C legs.

This has been a very, very bad couple of weeks for me.

I don't want to get into any more detail about it.

Those have you been through this know exactly what I'm talking about.

But it has not been a break in the sense that it hasn't been restful or relaxing or any kind of what people would call

a vacation.

But I wanted to get back and here we are behind the Golden EIB microphone, the Rush Limbaugh program

where every show seems like the most important show, where every caller matters, every caller people move to the edge of their chairs to hear

what the caller says.

And every program reverberates with the truth that the country we are born in is the best.

Great to have you with us.

Telephone number is 800 282-282-282, and I'm sure that numbers of you want to weigh in,

and we'll do our best here to get to as many people on the phones today as possible.

If you want to send an email, the address is El Rushbow at EIBnet.us.

First thing I want to do, folks, I want to go back to audio soundbite.

And by the way, part of getting my C-Legs today is I'm going to be hitting this cough button a lot,

uh, not to cough, but to, um, do other bodily things that would sound rude to do on the air.
