RUSH: There is another story out there that CNN just can’t drop. They’re focused on this. I mean, they’re glued to it. Somebody needs to help me understand why. The story is that Jared Kushner’s clearance has been downgraded. He’s Trump’s son-in-law, married to the lovely and gracious and very tall Ivanka. Do you know how tall Ivanka is? Six feet. She’s a very tall woman. Yeah. Well, now that you know this, take a look at some pictures of her with the ChiCom guys and with the South Koreans. Just take a look at it. It doesn’t matter. She...

(snip) -- RUSH: Now, expanding on the PROMISE Program that we on this program explained to you yesterday. Here’s the upshot of the PROMISE Program. It was started in Chicago by the current superintendent in the school district in Broward. Robert Runcie was in Chicago. The premise of the PROMISE Program is federal grants. This happened under the Obama administration and Eric Holder. The money came from the Department of Justice. It originated from the premise that the Democrats hold that the prison population is disproportionately minority and African-American because of injustice in America. You have the black population, what,...

RUSH: All right. Let’s hit audio sound bite No. 3. This was yesterday at the White House business session with the governors, and Trump is talking about sheriff deputies who waited outside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the shooting on February 14th. THE PRESIDENT: You know, I really believe… You don’t know until you test it, but I think — I really believe I’d run into, even if I didn’t have a weapon and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too, because I know most of you. But the way they...

RUSH: How many are you are aware that Barack Hussein O was in Boston over the weekend and made a private speech, an off-the-record speech? Did you hear about this? MIT’s Sloan Sports Analytics Conference invited Obama to come make a speech, reflections on his presidency and thoughts on other things. And the command went out that Obama’s speech was to be off-the-record, that nobody but nobody was to record it. Nobody but nobody was to report it! Even though they invited journalists in there, nobody was supposed to leak it. Nobody was supposed to say a word about what...

I love Rush Limbaugh. He's smart, articulate and wealthy, but that last part was not always so for Rush. He grew up in a family of ambitious lawyers and storied judges. The pressure from his family was really on for Rush to hit the books, stay in college, become a Man of Letters. They wanted him to rake it in somehow, preferably in law but if not, to earn a living in some capacity that involved stable income, a necktie and not moving around the country like an overfed vagabond. But Rush knew what he wanted to be in radio...

RUSH: I checked the email during the break. An interesting question: “Rush, you haven’t talked about the second indictments that have been handed down against Paul Manafort,” and I’m paraphrasing the email. The question basically is these things still have nothing to do with even the campaign. Everything Manafort’s being indicted for happened before the campaign, and then a letter writer very astutely mentioned that Mueller is changing the venue from Washington, D.C., to the Eastern District of Virginia, which is where Manafort lives. While that is an interesting aspect of this, the email says, “What is going on?” Folks,...

RUSH: So now we have learned even more about what went on at the school in Parkland, Florida. Queue up audio sound bite No. 19. This was yesterday in Ft. Lauderdale. The Broward County sheriff, Scott Israel, held a press conference and said this about one of his officers, Deputy Scot Peterson — who, as it turns out, was armed and was on duty at the school, at the time of the shooting. ISRAEL: What I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of building 12, take up a position, and he never went in. REPORTER: What should...

RUSH: So there’s another meeting at the White House. Trump is talking to state and local officials today about school safety, and during the break, I heard him. He was talking to Pam Bondi, who is the Florida attorney general, and Trump was discussing additional stimuli for kids that could not be healthy. He mentioned the possibility of video games and other things — movies on the internet and so forth — as things that could be in the mix in determining why the shooters do what they do. CNN puts a graphic up to describe this, and you just...

RUSH: Well, well, well. I certainly hope everybody watching, if you are watching, this disgrace CNN put on last night, trying to call that a town hall. I hope if you watched that, you see what I’m talking about. I hope you saw, I hope you noted how the last thing that was about last night was the safety of children. It had nothing to do with what was going on last night. Anyway, greetings, folks. As always, great to have you with us, and thank you for joining us. Telephone number, if you want to be on the program,...

RUSH: Rush Limbaugh — with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair — one of many being smeared by the Drive-By Media, and now some of the students at the high school are picking up on it and are joining in the smear mischaracterizing me as one of these conspiracy theorists accusing the students of being bought-and-paid-for actors. Oh, speaking of which, there is this guy out there that claims that CNN gave him a question. They wanted to script his question. He wanted to make a speech, extended remarks and ask a question. CNN...

RUSH: No, I wanted to make a point. The media early on was portraying Nikolas Cruz as a victim of bullying. He was portrayed as being bullied — that he was mocked, that he was laughed at — and then the media dropped that. That characterization of the shooter being bullied and mocked, laughed at, humiliated? That didn’t last in the Drive-By Media very long, because the media realized, “That’s not gonna help us here, ’cause somebody had to be doing the bullying. Somebody had to be doing the laughing. Somebody had to be making fun of the guy.” I...

RUSH: Have you seen the story about actress Jennifer Lawrence? She said she’s gonna take a year off. You haven’t seen this? “[S]he’s taking a year off from acting in order to pursue a career in activism and help ‘fix our democracy.’ … ‘I’m going to take the next year off,’ Ms. Lawrence, 27, said. ‘I’m going to be working with this organization I’m a part of: Represent.Us. It’s just trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level.’ ‘It doesn’t have anything to do with partisan [politics],’ she said of the organization.” (laughing) See? Of course not!...

The Sackler brothers represented America’s wildest dream: three Brooklyn-born sons of Jewish immigrants who became physicians and went on to found a pharmaceutical dynasty that is today worth more than $13 billion. The family used their fortune to invest in the arts and philanthropy, with Sackler wings at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Louvre in Paris – to name just a few. The Sackler name, however, is conspicuously missing from anything associated with their main source of income, Purdue Pharmaceuticals and its related companies, or its billion dollar product: OxyContin. You...

RUSH: Florida school shooting survivors to head to Tallahassee, Florida, state capital, to press lawmakers on gun control. But it’s not political, you see. It isn’t political, but they’re going up there to the state capital. It isn’t political. The students, They’re not political. They’re the ones that were shot at. That means they’re the only ones we should listen to. And they’re on their way to the state capital to talk to lawmen, lawmakers, but it isn’t political. You see, this is exactly how it happens. Greetings, my friends. Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh raring and loaded,...
