RUSH: I don’t know how many of you people noticed this, but this is another great opportunity to illustrate how the weather has become so corrupt politicized in order to push this silly man-made global warming narrative. This is Tuesday. On Sunday, we started getting warnings here in south Florida. “Major tropical depression developing off the coast of Florida.” I started getting alerts on my phone from all of my weather apps. I said, “What the hell is this?” So I went and looked at it. And sure enough, it was a thunderstorm with 30-mile-an-hour winds. And the National Weather...

RUSH: You know, I just saw something here, and… Ha! I’m not sure what I saw, but I’m gonna tell you what I think it is. Devin Nunes is just completing his opening statement after Schiff, little Pencil Neck, chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He’s finished his statement. Devin Nunes just concluded his. It was just perfection. Devin Nunes nailed these guys in describing everything going on: All of the phoniness, all of the fake collusion, all of the illusions the Democrats are trying to create — collusion when there isn’t any, the timeline of how it was gonna be...

RUSH: The first thing I want to play for you is Barr. We’re gonna go back (this is sound bite 22) to May 1st. This is a big deal, folks. This is the evidence that Mueller was just lying repeatedly today when he claimed that the only reason they didn’t come to a decision on obstructing justice, charging Trump with obstruction was the guidelines from the Office of Legal Counsel which say you cannot indict a sitting president. He said, “That’s why we didn’t do it.” Democrats just drilled down on that and drilled down on that. But it’s not...

RUSH: Okay. It’s time to give you the audio sound bites here. We’re gonna start with some of the sound from the press conference from the four yesterday, The Squad. We’re talking about freshman representative Ilhan Omar, who married her brother illegally to arrive in the United States. But we’re not supposed to mention that because, see, she’s a minority and a woman and they have it so tough anyway. If she had to marry her brother to get in here, it just shows how rotten the country is! See? This is how this works. You can’t criticize that. Plus...

RUSH: Man, oh, man, the cynicism is alive and well. I understand it. I understand it. Cynicism may, in fact, make common sense. Snerdley walked in today, “You don’t really think anything is gonna happen to this Epstein guy, do you?” I said, “I don’t know. They seem pretty serious about getting him.” “Come on, Rush, the guy’s a Democrat. It’s the #MeToo movement.” And I said, “Yeah, and look there’s Harvey Weinstein out there.” And Snerdley said, “Yeah, Harvey Weinstein’s still roaming the prairies. Nothing’s really happened to Weinstein yet except a bunch of stuff in the media.” understand...

RUSH: My God, are those people mad. Trump is just creating more havoc than he even knows in this party. Anyway, folks, here we are at the end of yet another busy broadcast week. It’s Open Line Friday. And, as I said yesterday, things that you think need to be talked about and aren’t being, well, this is your day to call and bring it up. If you have a question or comment, feel free. It’s 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. Okay. No matter how you slice this last night, it was...

RUSH: Let’s go to the audio sound bites. I want to start getting some of these in. I just want to go back and get it firmly established with me on the record as being one of the early predictors of what was going to happen to Joe Biden. I want to go back to May 1st right here on this program. RUSH ARCHIVE: I’m gonna whisper this to you ’cause I don’t want — you just keep this between you and me, okay? Turn your radios up a little bit so you can hear this, ’cause I don’t want...

RUSH: Folks, I have to tell you here, the Democrat Party is not just the country’s biggest hate group now, which I have said on previous indication. ‘Cause that’s what they were. It is what they have become. They are a little self-contained hate group. They have more hate than any extreme right-wing group they claim to be afraid of or opposed to than you can count. They have more hate than any of the hate that was a Charlottesville. They’ve got more hate for us. The difference in the world is that their hatred for us is somehow justified...

RUSH: NBC News, you gotta know, they have been looking forward to this debate since the last Democrat debate. They’ve been looking forward to it. NBC News was gonna make a president last night or tonight. They got two of these. But out of these two nights, NBC News was gonna find, uncover, expose, and make the next president. That’s what they tell themselves about the power of NBC News, the influence of NBC News, that looking good, performing well on NBC News — and what happens? It was a two-hour thing, and after the first hour, the B-Team moderators...

RUSH: It was in the third hour yesterday during the segment of the program taking phone calls. A very disturbed and irate caller named Vickie had been on hold for nearly the entire program. When I connected with her, she said, “I’m about to melt down. I’ve been waiting all day for you to mention this, and you haven’t mentioned it yet, and I don’t know what to do.” She was talking about Trump canceling the ICE raids to deport all of the illegal immigrants that could be found. I spoke with her about it. I talked her off the...

RUSH: Jim in Middletown, Pennsylvania. You’re next. It’s great to have you with us, sir. Hi. CALLER: Rush, it is an absolute pleasure to talk to you. I have been a converted… I was a Democrat. Now I’ve been listening to you for the last couple years. I was elected as a Democratic mayor of Middletown, Pennsylvania. I ended up voting for Donald Trump, left the Democratic Party as quickly as possible, and I’m calling to tell you that with regard to Bernie Sanders’ plan, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. I am a Millennial, being 35 years old. I will...

RUSH: James O’Keefe, Project Veritas, found a Google insider to spill the beans. The Google insider said, “The reason why I came to Project Veritas is that you’re the only one I trust to be able to be a real investigative journalist. Investigative journalist is a dead career option, but somehow, you’ve been able to make it work.” Insider Blows Whistle & Exec Reveals Google Plan to Prevent "Trump situation" in 2020 on Hidden CamBACKUP VIDEO AVAILABLE: https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/0... Some of the things that the Google insider said on video, Google is hell-bent on never letting somebody like Donald Trump come...

RUSH: Nancy Pelosi. As you know, the president last week said that he was gonna order these massive raids by ICE personnel to track down illegal immigrants and then deport them. Then all of a sudden, he said he wasn’t gonna do it. He was gonna wait two weeks to see if Congress can get in gear, pass some kind of legislation that would accomplish the same thing. Nancy Pelosi’s out there claiming credit for this. She’s claiming credit for getting Trump to pull back on this, by claiming that she told him that he was scaring the children. From...

RUSH: Bill de Blasio, mayor New York City: “Driver’s licenses for all.” He’s also a presidential contender. He says “he supports allowing everyone, including those who are undocumented, to get a driver’s license in New York. ‘You know, when I’m in New York City traffic, I’m not thinking about whether someone is documented or undocumented. I’m thinking about whether someone drives safely, and the best way to make sure that people drive safe is if they have a driver’s license,’ de Blasio said.” Absolute… (laughing) Is this man really as obtuse as he appears to be? Is this guy as...

RUSH: I’m holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a story on how pollsters manipulate polls. How do you manufacture a lead for your chosen candidate? How do you do this? And it’s very crucial to do it. You publish a poll that shows your guy up with a 10- or 12-point lead. It can be dispiriting to your opponents’ voters. It can be dispiriting to your opponent. And it can chill, it can chill enthusiasm. “Oh, my God. My guy’s down 12. Aw, jeez. All is lost. Ah.” And that’s how it works. How do you do it? Hey,...

RUSH: They had one of these Impeach Trump Day rallies over in Naples, Florida, yesterday. The population over there in that region is about 350,000 people. You know how many people showed up at the Impeach Trump Day rally? Six. And they’re all pictured here. They are six, shall we say, older, white women who are screaming at cars passing by during the Impeach Trump rally, and they’re holding up a sign that says “Impeach” so that people will know what they’re doing. Six. Maybe only five. And nobody driving by seems to care. Some facts for you. There are...

RUSH: And here we go again, folks. Here we go again. Donald Trump sets ’em up, they haven’t figured it out yet. I’m kind of reluctant to explain it here ’cause I don’t want ’em to figure it out, but I gotta explain it so that you get it. Everybody calm down here. So Donald Trump says, “Yeah, if some foreign bad guys call me with dirt on Crooked Hillary, sure, I think about taking it.” Except the Mueller report is filled with evidence that the Russians tried to offer Trump dirt and he didn’t take it! That’s what the...

RUSH: Now, we’ll deal with this poll here when we come back in just a second. I’m gonna show you that polls taken this far out, and I’m gonna show you where Bill Clinton was gonna lose in a landslide. I’ll show you where Gary Hart was gonna be win in a landslide, where John Edwards was gonna win in a landslide. I’ve got all this polling data that I went back and looked at to make the case that you ought to be ignoring anything that says Trump is gonna lose in a landslide right now ’cause it doesn’t...

Wednesday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh slammed Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller for his statement regarding whether or not President Donald Trump had committed obstruction of justice during his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Limbaugh called such a statement an “abomination” of the U.S. justice system.

RUSH: Speaking of Hillary Clinton, folks, we had this piece yesterday from the Federalist by Mr. H. A. Goodman, and it was one of those pieces that you read it, and you say, “Yeah, yeah.” You know it all, but you get kind of frustrated that you didn’t think of it all yourself. His point basically was (without rehashing the whole thing) that every bit of everything we know or think we know — every news item, every little bit of information that fed this narrative the past two years or three now, that Trump colluded with Russia — came...
