Rush Limbaugh delivers a message about perseverance, political opposition, and why he believed conservatives could not afford to give up.

Speaking at CPAC during the early Obama administration, Limbaugh discusses the limits Republicans faced in Congress and argues that their role was to slow down policies they opposed while making their case to the American people. He also predicts political overreach and points to the emerging Tea Party protests as an early sign of growing opposition.

CPAC continues to recognize Limbaugh’s role in the history of conservative media, describing its Radio Row as part of a tradition stretching “from Rush Limbaugh through today.”

CPAC hosts incredible guests and speakers including Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire, the late Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, Steve Bannon of War Room, Donald Trump Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Dan Bongino, and many more leading voices in conservative media and politics.
