Free Republic

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Well, we're gonna kick off today with competing polling data. We have a surprise visit by Bill Clinton to the attorney general in a private plane on the tarmac at Phoenix. If it hadn't been for a local Phoenix ABC affiliate, we wouldn't know that it had happened. We got Obama going off on Trump in a rant supposedly against populism and so forth. And Jake Tapper, CNN, actually described it as Trump living rent free in Obama's head. So yet again, ladies and gentlemen, another unique usage of language started on this program finding its way...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, you realize this attack in Turkey at the Ataturk airport -- by the way, Ataturk is the guy Turkey was named after. He was a big, big, powerful, mean dude, something like Frank Ataturk. I don't know what his first name was. Anyway, do you know that the guy that runs Turkey now, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, although it's not pronounced that way. I've only heard Erdogan pronounced correctly once, and I don't remember how. The guy has practically implemented Sharia law throughout Turkey. This is the point. And if he hasn't completed it yet, that's the...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Did you see the stock market was up nearly 270 points yesterday? How did this happen, folks? The stock market came back, futures are up 100 points, sky isn't falling, wizards of smart said that the world's financial markets were gonna go to hell all because of the Brexit vote. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Everything happens predictably except when the doom and gloom sets in, they want you to believe it's permanent and it's all over. And, sadly, it works. It creates cumulatively this overwhelming attitude of doom and gloom that the establishment and the left predicts...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So the gun shop owner. The guy walks into the gun shop and wants to buy body armor, and there isn't any body armor. So he gets on the phone and he calls somebody and starts speaking in a foreign language. The gun shop owner is beside himself because they didn't make the sale. He didn't get the guy's name. He didn't get any ID. There was nothing to report. The guy's been talking to the media today. He feels sick. He said (paraphrased), "The guy was right in my shop. He was right here, was requesting...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: If there's anything approaching on today's program a... I kind of hate to use the word "bombshell," but this is close. If you are wondering, "Okay, how does a guy named Omar Siddiqui Mateen, with his family history and other things obviously clear, able to be learned about...? How does he pass a background check?" Well, we have to thank the Obama administration for that. I have a series of stories here that are gonna boggle your the mind. The first is from the French News Agency. The headline: "Threats Against Muslims Must Stop After Orlando Attack:...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Are you kidding me? I don't believe this. Are you kidding me? The State Department says it doesn't know if Iran is using its new cash to fund terrorism. Seriously? It's entirely possible Iran used its new cash to fund terror, State Department. What an admission. But they can't be sure that they're using their new cash, the $150 billion unfrozen with the Iranian nuclear deal once the sanctions were killed. This is unreal. The State Department, the wizards of smart, "Well, we don't know. We can't determine whether or not the Iranians are actually using this...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The first hour of the program was devoted to a discussion of what happened in Belgium and why it's happening all over Europe. It's just uncontrolled immigration of militant Islamists and terrorists, combined with multiculturalism in all of these countries, which is destroying the native cultures of all of these European nations, which is done purposefully. Left-wing multiculturalism is aimed at destroying the culture of the host country it seeks to either conquer, overthrow, damage, or what have you. And it's happening here, folks. We've got a robust multicultural movement here which is doing its best to...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I'm still sitting here not really believing what I heard yesterday from Chris Cuomo, that sound bite about communism in which he said communism has got to work to promote individual liberty and upward economic mobility for everybody. I still can't get over this. That was such an eye-opener for me, how people have been lied to by, I don't know how many years, university professors -- probably throughout the education level -- about what communism is. You know, if the truth about communism, if it's told, nobody could end up supporting it, if people actually knew...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yeah, so Obama is in Cuba. A bunch of the Drive-By Media are in Cuba and they're wearing Che Guevara shirts and other Cuban revolutionary garb. Chris Cuomo, the son of Mario "The Pious" is wearing a shirt that Castro gave Mario "The Pious," as he's there with ABC. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: As I said to open the program, President Obama has landed in Havana. One small step for man, one giant leap for Marxism. We have a montage of Drive-By Media types. This is the most excited they have been for an airplane landing since Gorbachev...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Nah, Obama doesn't even expect this judge to get a hearing. He's too old, folks. If Obama was serious about the pick, he'd have nominated somebody much younger that's gonna be on the court, I mean, decades. Merrick Garland is 63. He sounds like a nice guy. And you know the fix is in when we've got people telling us, "Hey, you know what? This guy could really satisfy a bunch of conservatives." Come on, folks, could we get real? You know, this is where it all starts to break down. I've been watching conservatives on TV,...

"Now, the theory is that a majority of votes that are currently for Cruz, for Rubio, for Kasich, a majority would go to Cruz." Sorry Rush, but I think you are dreaming if you think Cruz can beat Trump, especially in the northern states.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I got three stories here, and I don't know what to think about it. I need your help. Let me give you the headlines of these three stories: "Ohio's Dirty Little Secret: Blue-Collar Democrats for Trump -- If Donald Trump wins the Republican Party nomination, his path to the White House will run through this working-class city with a knack for picking presidents. No Republican has ever won the White House without Ohio. And nowhere better reflects the challenges and opportunities Trump faces in his 2016 presidential quest than Canton, a once-booming industrial..." It's where the Pro...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I didn't think it was possible, but the GOP establishment is panicked even further. They're now just out of their gourd. And you know what? They're getting a bunch of leftists to join them in their supposed fear of what will happen to the GOP if Donald Trump gets the nomination. We have audio sound bites of this coming up Now, one thing about this I've never understood, but I think now it's coming into focus, I have never understood, like at that now famous dinner that I had with Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham in New...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I just saw something on Fox. Let me tell you a little story: Snerdley came in here today. He and I've had a back-and-forth over Mitch McConnell, over whether McConnell's gonna cave on Obama Supreme Court's' Supreme Court choice to replace Scalia. And I told Snerdley what I've told everybody: "When McConnell first spoke up about this, he said 'should not,' 'Obama should not, and we 'should not,'" meaning the Senate, "'confirm anybody, given presidential year.'" And I pointed out: "He did not say 'would not.' He said 'should not.' That's Republican establishment wiggle room." And Snerdley,...

RUSH: Okay, Andrew, San Francisco. Great to have you. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. I want to explain the situation that happened to my wife this past Saturday. She was traveling from San Francisco International Airport to the East Coast on United Airlines, and what happened was she was in a lineup. You know how you line up into the gate? And she asked in a normal tone of voice... She was talking politics with fellow passengers as it's a very big topic these days naturally. So during the...

RUSH: Now, folks, I went through a lot of mainstream media over the weekend and this morning, and there's a theme out there, and you might have heard it bandied about in any number of places. You've heard it bandied about in the Republican establishment. You've heard it bandied about in the campaign, certain sectors. You've heard media people talk about it -- and that is that Donald Trump cannot win a general election. "He just can't. Why, his negatives are way too high. It'd be the absolute worst thing the Republican Party could do!" Who's telling us this? Once...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, remember when that happened in the Saturday night debate, a lot of people were shocked watching this. I immediately evolved a theory to explain it. Here you have the Republican front-runner -- and let's review. The Republican front-runner defended Planned Parenthood. "A great organization that does great things for women's health." It's almost a cliche! It's what left-wing, Planned Parenthood defenders say. They're an abortion mill! They are an abortion factory! The lion's share of their so-called "funding," their income, comes from performing abortion. They don't do mammograms, for example. The idea that Planned Parenthood is...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So it was Saturday afternoon, and I was immersed in a project. I did not have the television on. I was not connected online to anything that was providing me a news feed, and I do not have news alerts that bop into me. I've not set those up 'cause I have weeded out all this harassment from notifications. So I get a text from a friend says, "Our country is cursed." I said, okay. Wrote back. "Why?" "It's just unbelievable. It just seems like the decks are so stacked against us." "What's going on?" was my...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Of course I'm gonna discuss Trump. Of course I'm gonna discuss the Republican debate. Actually I think I've got that figured out, too. I think I know what happened there. I think I know what the objective was. I think I know what the game plan was. (interruption) Well, not to terrify the party. That's the end result. I don't know that was the objective. No, just wait 'til you hear it then you can start poking holes at it. Don't start poking holes at it before I've told you what I think. I know you're gonna...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Well, it's now official. Panic has set in. Panic has set in maybe in both establishments, but certainly in the Republican establishment, panic is now official. And it's all because, up until last night, everything was theoretical. But now Trump won, and he outperformed the polling. But before you get too crazy, I want to remind you of something. People are talking about a revolution going on out there, and I can understand why people might be saying so when you look at Bernie Sanders over Hillary, and Trump coming out of nowhere and dominating the Republican...
