On the CBS Evening News, host Katie Couric introduced the segment, which she described as one in which “where newsmakers, opinion makers, and just plain folks tell us what’s on their minds” by stating that the topic was the “war on terror” and “there may be no one more opinionated on the subject than” Limbaugh.
