Rush Limbaugh

The Missouri Republican Party held its annual Lincoln Days gathering in Kansas City over the weekend. Republicans aim to hold onto a U.S. Senate seat that Sen. Roy Blunt is vacating — and prevail in a now-open race for the state auditor’s office. They’re also trying to maintain their majorities in the General Assembly.

Limbaugh entertained millions, propelled waves of Republican politicians and rebuked the media establishment as liberal. He also trampled the boundaries of acceptable political discourse.

"This has happened, and my intention is to come here every day I can," the conservative talk show host told his listeners on Monday. He said the diagnosis was confirmed by two medical institutions.

Joining us on this week's show is former Mo. Speaker of the House Steve Tilley. The Republican-turned-lobbyist discusses his tenure in Jefferson City (including Rush Limbaugh's induction into the Hall of Famous Missourians and his Cairo comment). Tilley also discusses the upcoming veto session, tax credits, ethics reform and the revolving door of legislators to lobbyists.
