Following the death of Rush Limbaugh, iHeartMedia plans to continue his time slot by airing "best of" clips curated to match current news events. Critics argue this is a poor strategy and suggest that a younger host should take over the three-hour live format to provide fresh commentary. The 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET time slot remains a highly valuable piece of radio real estate after Limbaugh's 30-year tenure.

The segment highlights the refusal of major American news outlets like the New York Times and NBC to show the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, contrasting this with the stance of the late editor Stéphane Charbonnier. Author Mark Stein criticizes Western media for retreating into self-censorship and failing to disperse the risk by standing with the French publication. The hosts argue that American freedom of speech is weakened by voluntary censorship regarding Islamic subjects.
