RUSH: Let’s go to the audio sound bites. I want to start with me, audio sound bite number 1, June 19th, basically two weeks ago or 2-1/2 weeks ago on this program, talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez… RUSH ARCHIVE: I think this woman gets off on attention. I think this woman gets off tweaking people on our side. I don’t think she means this for a minute. I think she’s just having fun watching people blow up. If she does believe it, then she’s so stupid that there’s nothing to do about it. … I think there is a part of...

RUSH: Winter Haven in Florida, Kyle. How you doing, Kyle? Welcome to the program. CALLER: Rush, great to be here. Thanks so much for doing all you do, saving us and teaching us and here we are living in clown world America, honk, honk, and thank you for being the guiding light. RUSH: Thank you, sir. Thank you. I appreciate that. CALLER: Yes, sir. So I was at the rally last night, and I just want to talk on what Major Garrett had mentioned. RUSH: Yeah, go ahead. CALLER: Okay. Yeah. He was saying that, you know, some of the...

I’ll confess that when I wrote about the President’s expected immigration and border wall offer this morning I left open the idea that he might declare a national emergency just to throw everyone a curve ball. That didn’t happen. Instead, he went with Option B which I also mentioned. He’s putting a DACA/TPS offer on the table and seemingly daring Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats to turn it down. (NBC News) President Donald Trump proposed a deal to end the government shutdown that continued his demand for $5.7 billion in funding for his border wall, but contained what he...

Friday night, the Special Counsel’s office released an extremely rare statement that took a buzz saw to BuzzFeed News’s Thursday night bombshell that alleged President Trump directed former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about possible construction of a Trump Tower in Moscow. In the statement, a Mueller spokesman called it “not accurate.” Despite the fact that the BuzzFeed News story was not confirmed by — well — any news outlet from when it was first published to the statement from Mueller’s team, the broadcast networks devoted 27 minutes and 33 second on their Friday morning and...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I meant to mention this earlier. CNN has started doing something that's new. They do instant fact-check on Donald Trump. They may do it on Hillary; I haven't seen it. Here's what they do. I just saw it. They just ran a graphic -- a chyron graphic, one of those banners at the bottom of the screen -- and here's what it says verbatim: "Trump Calls Obama Founder of ISIS (He's Not)." And in a very tiny font underneath that, they make some reference to CNN's fact checker. But you don't see that. You don't see that...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, this, we'll move on to a montage of various Drive-Bys. I have a written version of this story. It's New York Times or it's AP or it's Reuters, it doesn't matter, because they're all the same. Somebody got this line of reasoning going in the Drive-By Media, and there's either a memo that's gone out or a super-secret website where they all go for talking points, because the media's getting sensitive to the fact that they're not talking about the Hillary email scandal. They're doing nothing but trying to make things up about Trump and focus...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We have Tom in Spring, Texas. You're up first, sir. Great to have you. Hi. CALLER: Good to be here. It's wonderful to talk to you today, sir. RUSH: Thank you, sir. CALLER: To me this election is not about what Donald Trump may or may not say or about what he may or may not do when he's elected president. It's about what Hillary Clinton has said she is going to and intends to do if she is elected president. The money and the ideology that drives the liberal agenda in today's Democrat Party is just...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We also have another round of 50 people, and it's many of the same people who've signed yet another letter. GOP foreign policy experts saying they will not vote for Trump. We have Maine Senator Susan Collins saying she will not vote for Trump. She's a Republican. Now, a lot of people are getting upset about this, but you ought not. I mean, if you're a genuine Trumpster, what this is is just the establishment rising up against him. That's all this is. I mean, Trump's right about these 50 in the foreign policy letter. These are...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: While all of this is going on, the latest effort to cast Trump as dangerously unsuited, incompetent, unhinged, imbalanced, whatever, look at the headlines in the news since Monday about Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party. We have a rape victim who has come out to say that Hillary is a liar. The big champion of women failed a 12-year-old rape victim when Hillary Clinton defended the rapist. This is incredible. We have Julian Assange of WikiLeaks who's come out and said, hey, the Russians were not our source. The Russians did not leak Hillary's emails to...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, folks, we're gonna get into this today, and I want to preface it by making sure that you understand something, 'cause it's the same today as it is every other day. The focus of this program is on the Democrat Party and on the American left and not letting them get away with what they get away with. Sometimes that is misunderstood as me defending crazy behavior, crazy language, and it's not. I just sit here and I watch, and I get frustrated how easily these people get away with changing focus when the bias is...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I need to ask this question. Did any of you tune in last night trying to watch the Hall of Fame game on ESPN? It was scheduled at eight o'clock, was gonna be the Packers and the Indianapolis Colts. Did you tune in to watch it? Well, I did. I remembered at about 20 minutes after eight that it was on. I said, "Whoa." I was in the middle of doing something else. So I tuned in at 20 after eight and I saw 'em interviewing a bunch of players, and it looked like it was live....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yeah, I checked in with Trump and his speech at the Economic Club of Detroit, and I gotta tell you: This audience is eating it up. He is bashing Hillary Clinton's economics. I heard him preview what his tax philosophy is, and he practically got a standing ovation on that one. He hasn't gotten into detail yet except on one thing, and in the middle of it when he started talking about only his campaign's reaching out to everybody and trying to unite everybody, some protestor started screeching like Hillary Clinton, and they had to drag her...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Remember the story that Donald Trump kicked babies out of his convention and hates babies? I go back to Mr. Rutenberg's story in the New York Times today -- or Sunday, yesterday -- where he claims that the media is so outraged over what Trump represents and the danger Trump poses, they have to throw everything they've ever learned, everything they've ever been taught out the window. And they must assume, for the first time in their careers, an "oppositional" position. Never before has the Drive-By Media opposed anyone. They have been objectively reporting on all candidacies...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, look. There's a perfect example again. CNN, with a chyron graphic: "Conservatives blame Hillary email for Iran scientist's death." Conservatives blame. This is exactly what's wrong. An Iranian scientist was killed by the Iranians, an American Iranian scientist was killed when Hillary Clinton, passing around secured emails on her unsecured server, happened to end up releasing his name. Why is this only of importance to conservatives? A man is dead because Hillary Clinton's email server was not secured and was hacked, and she's passing around classified data. The director of the FBI has openly stated how...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You know, I chuckle at the president. The president's out there, he's doing a joint press conference today with the head honcho in Singapore. You know this has to be planned, and even if it wasn't planned, it was gonna happen. Obama is using the occasion of this to bash Trump out the wazoo. One of the questions he got was about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, because that's one of the reasons for the press conference was Singapore head honcho would benefit from this, and Obama -- attempting to give that trade deal credibility -- said, "Hey, you...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Julian Assange at WikiLeaks claims that there are a whole lot more emails coming. And he says that they are about Benghazi, but not so much what you think of when you hear Benghazi. Have any of you ever stopped to ask yourself, "What were we doing there?" I mean, okay, we had just wiped out Khadafy, and terrorism rose up in that country out of control. It was a hellhole. It was a dangerous place to be. There was no reason to have to have a State Department annex anywhere near an embassy in Benghazi. There...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay. Yesterday in Carson City, Nevada, there was a Trump-Pence campaign event. Vice Presidential Nominee Mike Pence spoke. During the Q&A, Catherine Byrne -- whose son serves in the Air Force -- and Pence had this exchange, and you'll hear some other audience members pipe in to this as well. BYRNE: Time and time again, Donald Trump has disrespected our nation's Armed Forces and veterans, and his disrespect for Mr. Khan and his family is just an example of that. Will there ever be -- AUDIENCE: (booing) BYRNE: Will there ever be a point in time when...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I'm doing this now to make sure that I get this done, 'cause if I don't, I'll keep putting it off until the next day, 'cause it really doesn't have anything to do with the politics of the day. However, folks, I have a belief: I think the cultural rot that has infested our country... It's been going on for a long time; it's nothing recent. It just seems to have really begun to plunge to never-seen depths of depravity and perversion just in the last, it seem like, four to seven years. We've been on a...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This Washington Post editorial, the utter ugliness of Trump's campaign with examples cited, and that woman in Trump's audience who called Cruz a kitty cat and then Trump repeated it and so forth, the Washington Post is outraged. By the way, some people didn't know what I meant when I said "undefeated" the other day. Stop and think about it. Just... (laughing) At any rate, the editorial making this big deal about Trump's campaign being so ugly it should scare us all. In the same editorial, the Washington Post says that Bernie Sanders "means well." Now, can...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The national Democrat nomination, Clinton at 49.3 and Crazy Bernie at 36, which is only a 13-point difference, and that's a very narrow gap compared to what it was. I mean, Bernie was down there in the high teens and maybe even lower than that when this all got going. The South Carolina Democrat caucus, Clinton 62, Sanders at 32.5. The question is can Bernie make up 30 points. The Congressional Black Caucasians are all set to endorse Hillary except for their one holdout, James Clyburn says he's holding out here and not going to join the...
