Florida will honor the late Rush Limbaugh.
Governor Ron DeSantis, on Friday, visited Palm Beach with the longtime producer for the legendary radio host by his side.
"Once the date of interment for Rush is announced we're going to be lowering the flags to half-staff."
A request to do so had previously been made in a letter from a Florida state representative out of Lake County. Republican Anthony Sabatini is the same lawmaker who has proposed U.S. Highway 27 be renamed in honor of former President Donald Trump.
The governor made the announcement after a crowd at the Palm Beach Airport Hilton heard from the man known as "Bo Snerdley" to listeners of the Rush Limbaugh Show. They never heard his voice on the show, but Rush would reply to him on-air from time to time.
Limbaugh's longtime producer, whose real name is James Golden, thanked the listeners who have reached out since Limbaugh's death to lung cancer on Wednesday.
He referred to the legendary host as a "second generation founding father."
"The seeds that he planted are going to sprout in America and continue to grow for generations and generations to come."
Golden added that "America will be great again not just because of Rush" but because of men like Gov. DeSantis.
As for Limbaugh, his producer heaped plenty of praise.
"I will love that man until the day I die and then some. This man was one of the most incredible human beings I ever met."
Golden said he worked with Limbaugh for most of his adult life and "this has been probably the most difficult thing that I've had to experience."
