This is an I-Heart podcast.

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

And it is wonderful to be here with you, the greatest audience in all of talk radio,

an audience built person by person by the all-time greatest talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

It is amazing to be sitting here just about a week removed from the terrible news that we got

regarding the passing of a legend and icon and a great friend to so many, even to those who may have never met him or spoken

to him, but you felt like you knew him that closely. And I am so honored to have been asked to come

in today following, of course, the amazing, the amazing, amazing effort and job that Catherine did just yesterday in remembering Rush and

talking about their love for each other, his love for her, and of course his love for this

audience. And it was so touching and such a wonderful and apt tribute for a man that continues to live on and will live on forever.

And the fact of the matter is, folks, this show will continue.

This is continuing and will continue for a long, long time.

We will continue to remember what it was that Rush did.

And how many times he was right, he was prescient. He was able to see around the corner.

He was able to detect the next trend and the next angle that was coming our way, both culturally

and politically.

And so don't go anywhere because you are going to want to be here for a very, very long time still to come.

We'll be here.

And Rush will be here.

Absolutely.

roughly from late 99, 2000, I was trying out in 99. They liked me enough. Rush liked me enough
