RUSH: You know, folks, that election in Israel, the victory, Benjamin Netanyahu, that has really confounded Obama. Do you know what Obama did? He recorded a video address to the people of Iran and blamed the hardliners in both of our countries, he's telling the people of Iran, for all the mess that's going on in the Middle East. It's unprecedented. BREAK TRANSCRIPT President Obama has used the Nowruz statement to speak directly to the people of Iran. And what he did, he compared Iranian hardliners to Americans who are skeptical of his nuclear deal with Iran. So here's the...

RUSH: The Israeli election is today. They had kind of a shocking thing happen yesterday. Here's what's going on. Arabs are being bussed in to the polls to vote. Israel is surrounded by people that don't want it to exist. Surrounded by people that would just as soon obliterate, not just the real estate, but the people who live there. And I would think everybody in Israeli knows it. I don't see, in a sane world, how Netanyahu's opposition in any way even gets close to winning, but they might. It just goes to show -- I don't know whether...

RUSH: Boy, folks, let me tell you, when Mrs. Clinton, yoga and all, went to the United Nations last week for that ill-timed, ill-fated Pretty in Pink 2 type press conference, boy, did I nail it. And I don't mind saying so. I spent a lot of time, 'cause I know a lot of people in the audience today might not have been in this audience, simple math, dates of birth and all that, might not have been old enough or even listening back in 1994 when Hillary did the Pretty in Pink. The thing she did at the United...

RUSH: A 20-year-old guy has been charged with shooting a couple of officers, the two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, and the claim is he wasn't aiming at the cops. It just happened. If you read the AP story on this, you have to go to the end of the story to find out his race. They do not make that prominent, but he is African-American. The shooter, the two cops in Ferguson, is indeed African-American. Get this. "A Ferguson convenience store that was looted and burned after the fatal shooting of [the Gentle Giant] will be rebuilt as a...

Kanye West's next chart-topping hit is ready and waiting -- all he has to do is re-record the racist chant that got 2 University of Oklahoma frat boys expelled ... according to Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh made the suggestion during his radio show Wednesday ... claiming if Yeezy made a song out of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chant -- "You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me. There will never be a ni***r SAE" -- he could cash in on it. As Rush put it, "If this had been a song by Kim Kardashian's husband,...

RUSH: Former NBC News reporter Lisa Myers has done a Sharyl Attkisson of sorts. "In an interview published Wednesday, a former longtime member of the mainstream media took some shots at the mainstream media, contending they do not hold 'the White House or any other part of government accountable.' Lisa Myers, a former investigative correspondent for NBC News who left the network last year to work on '[her] golf game'..." I've played golf with Lisa Myers; she's good. She did a profile of me for one of the shows that was on, NBC Dateline or whatever, and part of the...

The listener's question -- even though the 22nd Amendment prevents President Obama from seeking a third term, what if he decided to remain in office after January 2017? [Rush] Let's put this in a scenario, because some of you might be thinking, all right, Rush, now this is, we're going too far now. I mean, now all you guys thinking Obama's doing this and that and he's violating the Constitution, but he would never -- well, let's construct a scenario and see if it has even the slightest bit of believability. And let's establish some things that we know to...

Talk radio veteran Darryl Parks is a harsh critic of how the format continues to lose touch with most of the radio audience who aren’t white male baby boomers. In a new post this week he takes aim at Rush Limbaugh, describing the leading conservative talk host’s “fall into oblivion.”Parks notes that Limbaugh’s program is sinking in the ratings in New York and Los Angeles and has been shuttled off to lower ranked stations. Now it’s rumored– as first reported by Robert Feder–that his Chicago affiliate is preparing to dump ol’ Rushbo, too. A spokeswoman for WLS-AM owner Culumus Media has denied that rumor, though Parks...

The Office of the Inspector General of the State Department found in its latest investigation that Clinton aides had “created an appearance of undue influence and favoritism” in a number of cases including that of Ambassador Howard Gutman. The investigation is largely a whitewash. There is no mention of the fact that one whistleblower related to the case, Richard Higbie, had his emails deleted by a hacker. Or that the main whistleblower, Aurelia Fedenisn, was harassed at home and had her law firm burgled.It goes almost without saying that Richard Nixon went down for much less than that.There is also...

Heard on Rush Limbaugh Show a few minutes ago.  Rush mentioned the ban on  SS109 and M855 ammunition being pushed by the Obama administration.  Rush said that when people began buying ammunition two years ago, the left said that they were kooks.  Now they have been proven to be correct. Rush did say that the ban was on specific ammunition, but that people should not be fooled.  They want to go after all ammunition, and they have to start someplace. Rush is not a "gun guy"; but he is a far sighted political thinker, and he can see the...

RUSH: "An Oregon Democrat believes that the fight for amnesty for illegal immigrants is the 'civil rights battle' for Millennials that will decide who controls the country for the next three decades. 'Immigration reform is probably the biggest issue of the 21st century,' Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) reportedly said at an 'Immigration Day Action' event this weekend. 'It will decide who is in charge of this country for the next 20 or 30 years.'" Now, this is no big news. What's big about this is a Democrat has let the cat slip out of the bag. Of course this is...

RUSH: It is Friday, and that means --yessiree Bob. 1-800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program and it's Open Line Friday. And now we're going to extend the Brian Williams/Bill O'Reilly option to you. Make it up if you want to. Lie about it. Have fun with it. This is the third week in a row that I've offered this opportunity and we've only had two people, unless you're not letting them through. Are you screening them? Because I know that you sometimes disagree with the way I want to do this program. Yes, I do. And sometimes...

RUSH: This is last night on The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel. Bill O'Reilly had on Juan Williams to talk about the nation's loss of Jon Stewart and The Daily Show. Yes, the nation's in mourning, and everybody's trying to figure out how we're gonna cope. (interruption) Well, I mean, depending on where you go, yeah, that's the attitude you get. The left certainly is. And Juan Williams is brought on to discuss why. O'Reilly wanted to know why. O'Reilly said to Juan Williams, "Say I get run over by a bus tomorrow. I think the media would...

RUSH: Interesting little audio sound bite here. This is Friday night, Tavis Smiley show on PBS. You know, Tavis Smiley works with Cornel West. Brother Cornel. Brother Cornel. They did that national poverty tour. I remember that I gave these guys some kudos for what they were doing, actually going out and I thought -- what I heard about what they were doing, it was positive, their message. They were not going out and trying to create dependent people. They were actually trying to reverse it. And then months later, I didn't get to it, we had a sound bite...

RUSH: Did you watch the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary show? I didn't, either, when I figured out I hadn't been invited. They wanted me on that show one time, and, boy, I must tell you, I almost did it, and had I done it, it would have been one of the biggest career mistakes I've ever made. Lorne Michaels actually called. This is back in the nineties. They wanted me to come out and play Santa Claus on their Christmas show. I learned later that the whole thing was intended as a setup for Al Franken's book. He was...

RUSH: Yes siree, Bob. Greetings, my friends, and welcome. It's always great to have you here. It's always great to be here. It's a great opportunity every day. It's a delight, and it really is great to have you here. Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. The telephone number if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882 and ElRushbo@eibnet.com. You know, every day, now it's ISIS. Now the Regime has got us talking about ISIS. Yesterday it was something else. The other day it was the growing economy. I mean, it's all...

RUSH: Did it again. Did it again, everybody. Blamed me. Blames me and Fox News. Obama does. Blames me and Fox News for the Balkanization of media. The thing about it, he's right, in a certain way. These guys are just missing their old monopoly days. They're just missing the days when they controlled every narrative, when they controlled every story. They don't control it. They haven't controlled it since 1988, when their monopoly went south, and they haven't been able to deal with it. So Obama's out there again, this time talking to the -- there's this new publication...

Does Sea Salt Threaten the Environment? February 06, 2015 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Scott in Hampton, Georgia. I'm glad you called, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello. CALLER: Hello. It's good to talk to you, Rush. Um, I wanted to make you aware, if you're not already, about an impending environmental disaster. It involves the oceans, and it's being caused by the tendency of the higher-end restaurants to use real sea salt on their tables as seasoning. It's taking too much salt out of the oceans and the result of course is gonna be a decreased salinity of the oceans....

RUSH: It's a story from the website Watchdog.org, and the headline: "Obama's Budget Targets Your Retirement Accounts." I can't recall the number of times that I have mentioned casually, forcefully, predicted directly over the course of the years that, as this government continued to expand and spend money it didn't have and print money it needed, that at some point it was gonna have to go get money. You can't just rely on fake money that's printed. They're gonna have to get more. They're gonna target money, and I warned everybody, "They're gonna they're gonna come after your pensions, and...

RUSH: Hey, did you see what Jordan did, folks? Not Michael; the nation, the country. ISIS burns to death one of Jordan's pilots. So Jordan went to their prison and they grabbed a couple of Al-Qaeda prisoners and they hanged 'em. And, by the way, that's the right way to say it. It's not correct to say they hung 'em. That's how you describe somebody's physiology. But you don't say somebody was hung unless you want to talk about the way they look. Really. Hanged is correct. I'm just telling you, if you say that Jordan went in there and...
