TODD: We played this clip twice of Ron DeSantis briefly honoring Rush at CPAC, a beautiful statement from Governor DeSantis, who's done an incredible job as governor. So, here's the Maha himself, remembering this decades-ago CPAC speech where he talked about going beyond policies to persuade and speaking about our principles. RUSH: This is my…

TODD: This just happened. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida just spoke at CPAC, and he also honored Rush just seconds ago. DESANTIS: Now, the battles ahead will be made more difficult without the voice of one of our greatest field generals, my friend Rush Limbaugh. CROWD: (applause) DESANTIS: On Wednesday, the state of Florida had…

TODD: One of my very favorite lessons from Professor Limbaugh was Rush defeated cancel culture from the actual White House, an attempt to cancel him from the White House before that was even a phrase. And it happened after Rush gave the Wall Street Journal four words about Obama's first term. Let's hear this, and…

TODD: Barack Obiden has decided to bomb Syria after Jen "Circle Back" Psaki talked about Trump's "dangerously militarized foreign policy," and, of course, there's no one from the left who's going after this. But you remember there's another story that Rush had shared with us. Now that Barack Obama controls the White House, he went…

TODD: I want to talk to Brian in north Alabama. Brian, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program as Todd Herman filling in for our departed friend. Brian, welcome to Rush's show. CALLER: Thank you for taking my call. And my condolences go out to Rush's family and the staff there and all of his listeners.…

TODD: Rush warned us what Biden would do; he's doing it. Democrats want the so-called VP, Kamala Harris, to overrule the Senate parliamentarian's guidance. By the way, that's a career public servant. We were told, "You don't overrule career public servants." They want Kamala Harris to rule that the minimum wage is in order in…

TODD: When he talked to callers -- you think about all the calls Rush took, and he still got jazzed when there was a unique idea or a hard question. In fact, anyone who ever got through to the famous phone, 800-282-2882, remembers the thrill of being greeted by the Maha... RUSH: It's Open Line…

TODD: Frank, welcome to the program you helped Rush Limbaugh build. It's Todd Herman simply filling in for the Maha. Hi, Frank. CALLER: Absolutely, man! I lived in Sacramento and heard Rush in 1986 for a week, and then I'm down in Southern California in Glendora, 1988, and my cousin tells me Rush is gonna…

TODD: We talked about his consistency of principles, and one of those was that Rush just loved the members of our military. I won't tell it again because I told it last time I was honored to fill in for Rush and I just about broke into tears then, of how he displayed that love…

TODD: Brian in Shawnee, Kansas, joins us on Rush's show. Brian, it's Todd Herman filling in. And you have a Rush and Kathryn story? CALLER: I sure do. About 10 or 11 years ago I got a phone call. The number was blocked. So I didn't want to answer it. "I don't know who you…

TODD: Just a few months ago, a caller asked Rush about the origin of one such nickname. RUSH: Mark in a tractor-trailer somewhere in Massachusetts. It's great to have you here with us, sir. Hi. CALLER: Hi. Mega dittos, Rush. My question is real simple. Why Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.? RUSH: Well, you mean why do…

TODD: Uri in Sparta, New Jersey. Uri, a quick minute. I thank you for calling Rush's show. Hi, Uri. CALLER: Hi! Hi. So, you want me to tell my story and you want me to say something Rush Limbaugh in the sky. TODD: Yeah. CALLER: Look, I was born and lived in the Soviet Union…
