Free Republic

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Right. So I just saw it. I just saw it up there on CNN. They're ballyhooing and they're promoting Meg Whitman, who was referred to as "a Republican donor," and she may well be. What did she start? Did she start eBay? What did Meg Whitman do? (interruption) She's one of the founders of eBay. Okay. Yeah, and I remember that McCain had her on his... Well, I don't know if she was on his short list, but I remember one day somebody asked him (this is back in the '08 campaign), "Is there anybody out there...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Tell me if you think this is relevant, folks, if it's meaningful or not. Hillary and Tim Kaine are not drawing crowds at all wherever they go. They literally are not. They're showing up in high school gymnasiums and they're one-third full. That's why you're not hearing about these rallies. Hillary and Kaine went on a bus tour after the Democrat convention. You didn't hear about it over the weekend because nobody showed up. And, to this day, every Trump rally is overflowing and the energy at every Trump rally is hardly containable. It's electric. You know...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Folks, today we are starting our 29th year. This is our 28th anniversary being behind the Golden EIB Microphone, and there's one thing... We're gonna play some sound bites here from the past. The theme that Cookie set up... She did this on her own, by the way. I offered no direction. I never do on these anniversary shows. She thought it would be interesting to go back and look at the number of different ways I have been characterized and portrayed in various places, by various people over -- not all but some of these --...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay, now, here's Obama. This is how this all works. I have experience with this, too. This is exactly how this works. So the Democrats find a couple that they want to put on stage to exploit and it may be the Khans are sophisticated and are in on this. It may be that they are fully aware of what's going on and they're willing participants. So the week prior, the Republicans' honor the four dead at Benghazi, including all the other fallen in the War on Terror and the war in Iraq, and they put on...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: One Hillary sound bite from yesterday will suffice for all of them. Chris Wallace says, "After a long investigation, the FBI director James Comey said none of the things that you told the American public were true," and that's exactly right. Comey laid out the case. He did everything but recommend prosecution. Under questioning, he admitted that she lied here, she lied there, and Wallace says: You know, the director of the FBI "said none of the things that you told the American public were true." HILLARY: Chris, that's not what I heard Director Comey say, and...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Every day is going to be like this. No matter what Trump does, no matter what Hillary does, every day is going to be like this. The stakes are too high, the stakes are too great. The Democrats and the media, no matter what they may look like in this episode right now, are still bamboozled, and they're not quite sure how to deal with Trump because the things that usually take out nominees have not taken him out. And yet they're continuing to try. And that's what this was starting with the selection of this couple...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You go to the media and they're just obsessed with Trump. They just are beside themselves with this. "Trump has endangered American national security. Trump is close to having committed treason." Seriously, I'm not just trying to be outrageous for the sake of it, which I never do, by the way. When all of a sudden did they start caring about this? These are the people with unsecured servers. These are the people whose servers have been hacked by the Russians. The Democrat National Committee, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, the ChiComs, the Russians,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: It's amazing. There is a joint party meltdown going on over Trump's press conference, particularly one tongue-in-cheek comment. One tongue-in-cheek comment, which has served the purpose of refocusing everybody's attention on Hillary's emails, is causing a multiple-party and multiple-movement meltdown, both on cable news and on social media. Again, just to restate -- and I have not forgotten that I sent you out to round up a bunch of Millennial women to hear. We're improv here, and we'll get to it when I get to it. I intended to be done with it by now, but things...

RUSH: I really don't believe that I have ever seen what I just saw. I've been thinking. I've been trying to dig deep into the dark crevices of my memory, and I don't think I've ever seen what I just saw. Donald Trump just hijacked the Democrat convention after the biggest night of that convention so far. Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, just concluded, right in time for this program to begin. (They got the memo.)He just concluded a freewheeling, no-holds-barred, no-controls-on-the-media, "Whatever you want to ask me, ask me," press conference the day after the supposedly biggest event...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: And you heard a story last night, by the way, that I don't believe. I don't believe much of what he said. It was a great performance. That was a fabulous performance. It wasn't a speech. It was a performance. And we would be fools to sit here and nitpick it and, you know, start asking questions about how effective it's gonna be. It was great. There was no question. It was a story, and I don't think very much of it actually happened the way he spelled it out. I think I know what happened here....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You want to talk about change? Last night the theme of the Democrat convention, the theme of the Bill Clinton speech -- and there were many in there. But one of the big themes was that Hillary's a change-maker. Why, she makes more change and better change and she changes it better -- change this, more change -- than anybody. He saw that when she was wearing Coke-bottle glasses and a cute little print white dress and so forth, standing in a registration line in Harvard or Yale or whatever. He knew the minute he looked at...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Trump got a convention bounce and it's a big one, a six-point convention bounce. Now, if you look at Real Clear Politics average of polls, you don't see six points, because those polls -- the average of those polls -- consist of a number of days before the convention added to the days of and after the convention. But if you take out the days leading up to the convention -- just look at the polling data that comes from the convention and after it -- it's a huge, six-point convention bump. Now, you might say, "Well,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You know what the biggest joke of the all of this is? The biggest joke they're trying to tell us, "Hey, nobody knew that the Democrat National Committee had rigged the game for Hillary. Nobody knew." Crazy Bernie supporters didn't know. Bernie didn't know. Come on, everybody knew. Maybe they didn't. But everybody knew this game was rigged from the get-go, on the Democrat side, before we got the email release from WikiLeaks. Who would have ever believed that Democrats have come to be defined by secret emails that have been dumped on us, emails we were...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: What a week. It had everything. And it's still not over. Donald Trump continues to surprise even when you think he can't surprise you anymore. It's great to have you with us. It's great to have you here every day. Open Line Friday. That means that you get to talk about whatever you want to talk about, and I think I have a pretty good idea what you're gonna want to talk about, so we'll make an extra effort here to make sure that you get your chance. Telephone number is 800-282-2882, and the email address is...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So I just got a sound bite here from Carl Bernstein, famous for being a part of Woodward and Bernstein, who are accredited and acclaimed for destroying Richard Nixon. Carl Bernstein was on CNN's Newsroom this afternoon with Brooke Baldwin, and they were talking about the first night of the Republican convention. Now, Bernstein is a connected leftist. I mean, he's a joke to many of us, but to them, this guy is the Guru. I mean, he goes way, way back, and his take on things is seen as representative of what the deep, dark left...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number one. I want to take you back to me on this program May 5. May 5th on this program, I warned everybody of exactly what's happening today. When Hillary Clinton is threatened by a female, then the media and her allies hop to. They get into gear and do whatever they can to take out the opposing female. RUSH ARCHIVE: My experience with wives of conservatives and wives of Republicans -- and the Democrat Party and the media -- is that usually (there are exceptions, but usually) the media and the Democrats...

Heather Mac Donald Talks About Her Essential Book: The War on Cops July 08, 2016 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: And greetings to you. Happy to have you with us, ladies and gentlemen, the Rush Limbaugh program, it is Friday. Let's commence. And I know that many of you want to weigh in on what's going on all over the place. And you shall. Whatever you want to talk about when we get to the phones, telephone number is 800‑282‑2882. And the e‑mail address is ElRushbo@eibnet.com. Okay. The war on cops has now come to Dallas, Texas. The war on police has...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: And welcome, my friends, to the Independence Day weekend version of the Rush Limbaugh program. It's great to be with you. It's also shocking to see all these man-on-the-street interviews, if we can believe them -- and I think we can. So many Americans that have no idea why we celebrate Independence Day, Fourth of July, any of that. It's also Friday, so that means... JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny south Florida, it's Open Line Friday! RUSH: Which is a golden opportunity extended -- remember, folks, I'm a benevolent dictator on this program. There is no...

Rush Limbaugh revealed something that no one else has mentioned. But first off: "Amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of email and hours before the public release of the Benghazi report, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton. The private meeting took place on the west side of Sky Harbor International Airport on board a parked private plane," that was being used by Loretta Lynch and her husband. They're traveling around doing appearances on how the Justice Department's taking over local police departments. Now, neither Clinton nor Loretta Lynch actually arrived in Phoenix...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here's a story from the Daily Signal. Let me give you the headline of this: "Obama Administration's Goal Is to Undermine Brexit Vote." How do we know this? Well, let me give you a pull quote from the story. "On Tuesday --" that be two days ago "-- secretary of state John Kerry," who served in Vietnam, "was speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival." Can you imagine what a good time that is? A bunch of people like John Kerry showing up talking about ideas. At the Aspen Ideas Festival, Kerry "was asked if Britain’s decision could...
