Free Republic

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The crux of his message throughout the 21 hours...I think it's important to point out that in all those 21 hours, he didn't say one critical or personal thing about anybody, Republican or Democrat. Despite the fact that the only opposition to him was personal, vicious, and mean, he did not sink to that level. Obviously he didn't need a teleprompter for any of it. But the points that he tried to make over and over again was this legislation, this health care reform is a disaster. It doesn't deserve to be implemented because it's so bad....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Meanwhile, now that the 2012 elections are safely past and the midterms of 2004 are still relatively far away, we have a random act of journalism here from Bloomberg. They have an article here. Headline of the article: "Women Waiting Tables Provide Most of Female Gains in US." Women waiting tables. The money that women waiting tables earn makes up most of the income gain women in America are experiencing. However you want to call these jobs. Waitresses. Women waitresses are earning more, a larger share of all income earned by women. What Bloomberg has done here,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT"snipsnipsnipCALLER: Yeah, I wanted to bring up Obamacare, and I wanted to show you more evidence that not only is Obamacare harmful to the nation, but it's also unaffordable health insurance. Now, currently I pay out of pocket. I buy my own health insurance through a major national insurance company. RUSH: Wait. No. Obama said if you like your plan, you get to keep it. CALLER: Well, Obama lied, Rush. Am I shocked? No. Obama said I could keep my plan. He lied. He said I could keep my doctors. Well, we know that's not true be with either....

Rush finally breaking open the whole setup - syrian rebels mixing chemical weapons into conflict to draw U.S. into war to take out Assad. FINALLY!!

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Folks, the Syria news today -- it was bad yesterday. It was embarrassing yesterday. Today the whole world is laughing at us, and I am not kidding. Even liberals. Even these wacko Looney Tunes pajama-clad website posters, these progressives, as they call themselves. These people think Obama and Kerry are lying to 'em. They don't want another war. They don't want a single missile launched ever. They think they're being lied to. I mean, Obama doesn't even have his base on this. And according to whip counts and head counts right now, it looks like Obama's request...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: All right. So here's the deal. Last week, Obama reverses himself and says that he's not gonna go into Syria. Remember, they're using nerve gas. John Kerry goes out there, 1,500 people, 2,400 people, a lot of kids, nerve gas, sarin gas, got the proof. Look, I'm gonna get into all the hypocrisy. Yes, Kerry dining with Bashar back in 2009 and talking about what a great guy Bashar was. The bottom line is this administration is as incompetent as Jimmy Carter. There's only one difference. If there were anybody else running this administration right now, this...

Did Valerie Jarrett Issue the Order to Stand Down in Benghazi? August 06, 2013 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There is a somewhat shocking report that I came across today at a website run by Doug Ross. It's called the Conservative Report. Doug Ross maintains here that Valerie Jarrett gave the orders to stand down in Benghazi. Valerie Jarrett, who constitutionally is not in the chain of command and cannot do that. And that's why this, if true, is a bombshell. Valerie Jarrett nixed the raid on bin Laden three separate times, remember, and the adults had to come in and basically...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So, ladies and gentlemen, I just... it hasn't even been an hour yet. I told Greta Van Susteren that I would sit down for an interview with her here in the studio for her Fox television show. She has been asking me for the past week, and I said, "No." And she kept asking, and I said, "No, I don't like television." I said, "No, I don't want to be on TV." And finally I get up at seven in the morning and there are two e-mails from Greta saying, "Please, please." I had to do it,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I want to go to the audio sound bites, 'cause this was fascinating. On C-SPAN's Washington Journal show today, the guest was the NPR correspondent Julie Rovner, and they had the viewer call-in segment, and they had a caller named Don from Cambridge, Nebraska. The caller knows more about how the regime is using the exchanges than anybody at C-SPAN or NPR. We have two sound bites, and here's the first one. This is the caller, Don from Cambridge, Nebraska. DON: I was just kind of curious about this health care deal. If it's such a good...

Get this. A provision in the Senate immigration "reform" bill has a stimulus provision for young people. Now it's not your average, run-of-the-mill Obama cash stimulus. This one would allow the kids to buy Obama-cars. The provision is a payoff -- er, accommodation to secure the vote of Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont. Sanders, it's reported, wants to "help" younger workers who've been hurt by Obama's never-ending Great Recession. So, $1.5 billion is allocated to Americans age 16 to 24 over the next two years. The money will be handed out to states by the Department of Labor....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Jay Carney. They went to White House today, the press briefing, and a reporter said, "Senator Graham said that the agreement that they've reached in the Senate that guarantees some extra Republican votes," this is the Hoeven-Corker amendment, "virtually militarizes the border here, Jay." What...? Are you kidding me? So they want us to believe that 20,000 more Border Patrol agents and the increase in technology and so forth, the biometric stuff, militarizes the border? "It adds 20,000 new agents, 18 drones," surveillance drones, "and 350 miles in fencing at a cost of more than $30 billion....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The European media is beating up our president like you can't believe, folks. The European media is laughing at our president. The European media is drawing contrasts to the Obama that showed up there during 2008 and the Obama that's showing up there today. And they are dumping all over our president. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: By the way, I heard that number was 6,000. I saw a picture. There was no way there were 6,000 people there. They barely had a full house for minor league hockey game. So they've revised the number down to 4,500 at...

The Affordable Care Act is So Unaffordable, Members of Congress and Their Aides are Quitting Because They Can't Afford It! BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, this is truly outrageous. There's a headline in The Politico today: "Obamacare? We Were Just Leaving..." And when I saw the headline, I thought it was gonna be an article about how Democrats are afraid of losing their seats because of all the skyrocketing costs of health premiums and all the other negatives associated with Obamacare. But that's not what this story is about. What this story's about is congressmen worried about themselves. In...

Can I be a little bit of a smart aleck here? Of course I can because it's my program. We're in the midst here of learning that the NSA and a lot of high-tech companies and phone companies are providing the regime with virtually every phone call we make. They have access to every e-mail we send, every photo we send, and yet there are 11 million people in the shadows? We're doing all of this sweeping. We're doing all of this Hoovering. When it comes to 10 to 11 million illegals we're told they're in the shadows and we've...

America in the Midst of a Coup d'Etat June 07, 2013 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Late yesterday afternoon I was sitting in the library at home, and I was just swamped. It seemed like every 90 seconds somebody needed something, or somebody had a question or somebody had a comment, requiring my response. It was during the period of time that I generally devote to reading my tech blogs, you know, where I abandon all of this and get away from it and start spending time on, quote, unquote, my hobby. But it was one of those days. I'm sure you...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Wow. I just checked a little bit of the White House press briefing. The spokeskid, Jay Carney, is kind of under the gun. Jessica Yellin of CNN is really having at him on this IRS business. One of the reasons why is that Jay Carney is sitting here talking about the IRS scandal, and he said, "Well, if the IRS reports are true, then the president would be outraged." What do you mean, "if" the IRS reports are true? The IRS has admitted all of this! They've already apologized for it! The IRS has confessed to a...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Associated Press: The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a ‘massive and unprecedented intrusion’ into how news organizations gather the news.” The Obama administration is spying on state-controlled reporters from the Associated Press. Don't they know that the AP would have given him this information if he just asked for it? “The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, it was just yesterday at the fundraiser in Harvey Weinstein's fashionable West Village home in Manhattan. Again, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were in the audience. This morning on Good Morning America, here is portion of Jonathan Karl, the White House correspondent's report about the IRS scandal -- and, lo and behold, I end up being in this report. KARL: That's not good enough for some conservatives, who point to past references the president has made to Tea Party groups. OBAMA: I've been a little amused over the past couple of days where people are having...

Rush Limbaugh: I live in Obama’s head By: Kevin Cirilli May 14, 2013 02:34 PM EDT Rush Limbaugh taunted President Barack Obama on Tuesday, saying he lives “rent free” in the president’s head less than a day after Obama criticized the conservative radio host at a fundraiser hosted by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. “He simply cannot get me off his mind. I live rent free in his head. And he is using me as his convenient excuse for not being able to get anything done. He really thinks the Republicans would work with him if it weren’t for me,” the...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You know, folks, on this IRS business, I think the 2010 midterms really shocked the Democrats. I think they might have expected to maybe lose some seats, although, actually, my memory -- no, no, no, no, no, my memory is that they thought with the overwhelming popularity of Obama it might be the first time that a sitting president's party increased seats. Well, it wouldn't be the first time. I think Bush did it. But they were clearly hoping for at least a draw. In the 2010 midterms they got shellacked. It's one of the reasons I...
