RUSH: So I’m watching CNN here, and they’ve got a banner at the bottom of the screen. They’re covering Trump over at the Department of Transportation. I mean, he was rocking it over there with his speech on infrastructure and modernizing things. At the bottom there’s a banner, and it’s just… The person sitting there creating that has to just be a little troll filled with hate. “Trump Addresses Transportation Department After Calling Comey a Liar.” That was the banner! “After Calling Comey a Liar.” That happened yesterday! They’re still seething about it. These people… I try to get a...

RUSH: He has told the Democrats and the media just enough for them to continue their narrative that Trump’s scum and a pig and violated the law, and he has given the Republicans enough ammo to take the position Trump didn’t do anything. In other words, nothing is gonna change here. When this is all over, nobody in media is gonna say, “You know what? We blew it!” Even though CNN… CNN’s gone pathological — total, total pathological — on this. And they’re gonna be pathological tomorrow, and they’re gonna be pathological tonight, because nothing today is going to result...

RUSH: I see where Senator Cruz is echoing things I said here in the first hour, folks. Do not get caught up in all this ’cause it isn’t gonna change anything. It’s fun to go through it, dissect it, and pick it apart. But don’t think any of this is gonna change anything. Comey’s out there giving red meat to all sides. In the process, though, this guy’s doing some amazing things. He’s admitting that he’s a coward. He admitted that he let Loretta Lynch shape the language used in describing the Hillary investigation. He has admitted that she pressured...

RUSH: Donald Trump is doing good things that nobody knows about. They don’t get reported on. One of the things that Trump’s keeping a promise on is reducing regulations. Washington Examiner. Have you noticed that the economy and the stock market have markedly improved since Trump’s election? Now, there are reasons for this. If the markets were monitored and worried about what’s going on with who’s testifying to what, then the markets would be in a tailspin, but the markets are not looking things like that. “President Trump is winning on one key campaign promise, cutting regulations and virtually eliminating...

RUSH: Trump sent out a tweet today, and he meant to write “network coverage” and he instead wrote network c-o-v-f-e-f-e. It was a typo later deleted. The media and Twitter went absolutely nuts. Here is one sound bite example of a montage. Cut 15 in three, two, one. AMY ROBACH: President Trump’s mysterious message overnight taking on the press in a tweet and then ending with a typo. CHRISTINE ROMANS: It appears to be an unfinished tweet with a typo. “Covfefe” is not a word. SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Let’s go back to this tweet for a minute. Does it signal any...

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number four. This was yesterday on Slay the Nation. This is kind of in line with what I’m talking about, how the media perceives America. And, of course, in the media’s eyes (which is leftist), America is unjust, America is — in many ways — illegitimate. America is the problem in the world, as Angela Merkel so proved with her incisive can comment that (paraphrased) “I guess now we’re gonna have to totally rely on ourselves ’cause this idiot Trump isn’t gonna be looking out for us anymore.” That, of course, that makes us the...

RUSH: Let’s go to the election in Montana, because this last night, I didn’t see this on TV. I’m following the results, and I’m checking various things. And I see that Nate Silver sent a tweet out that said that if Gianforte, if the Republicans don’t win Montana by at least eight points, then it’s good news for the Democrats. So the Democrats losing by four points, five points, six points, seven point, great, great news; the Democrats need to celebrate it. It’s great news. The Democrats have yet to win a special election this year. They thought that they...

RUSH: We have Joe from Billings, Montana, leading off. Great to have you, sir. What’s up? How’s it happening? CALLER: Rush, glad to talk to you. I’m on my way in a few minutes to vote out here, as a matter of fact. And I wanted to say that if every Republican candidate in the country picked up a reporter and threw him to the ground, it would increase my chances exponentially of voting for them. RUSH: No kidding. CALLER: No kidding. Absolutely. Every single Republican candidate for the House — of course, there’s no election for two years —...

RUSH: Back in April, an ISIS supporter attack in Paris, Champs-Elysees, a couple weeks before the French elections — by the way, have you heard what they have done in Paris? I don’t know if this is the mayor or if it’s this new president. Do you know what they did? This is a sign, folks. This is a comforting sign to show you how tough the French are in this fight against terrorism. You know what they’ve done? They’ve turned off the lights in the Eiffel Tower at midnight. You know how that is bound to frighten the terrorists?...

RUSH: I told you yesterday to stop watching the media, that you are not getting an accurate picture. The media’s not even doing what they’re doing… (sigh) Well, it’s a bit of a stretch to say they’re not doing it for national consumption; they, of course, are. But it is really inside-the-Beltway here, because that’s where power is in their minds and that’s where any effective change they want will take place. So the primary objective of the Drive-By Media is to flood the zone in the nation’s capital with this never-ending badgering of “Trump out of control,” “White House...

If This Politico Story Is True, the President Needs New Advisers May 11, 2017 RUSH: The Politico today… By the way, you need to be reading all of these and watching all these stories with more doubt and disbelief than you have ever mustered. As you read, or any time you see “anonymous source said,” you must disbelieve it. The evidence is much greater and much of this is made up than that it is legitimate and real. You must remember that media isn’t media. You are not reading “the news.” You are being inculcated. You’re being propagandized. You are...

How Do You Resist the Resistance ? May 11, 2017 RUSH: We’re gonna go to Worcester, Massachusetts. Debbie, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here. CALLER: Thank you, Rush, and it’s as such honor. You are on my bucket list, so I can cross that off now. RUSH: Thank you very much. CALLER: Hey, listen, when Obama became president was at the same time I was losing my husband to pancreatic cancer. So I just accepted it and went on. But life was very sad for me. And then four years when he made it again,...

RUSH: So what’s actually bigger news in terms of how it affects the country and the people who live here? Aetna insurance quitting the Obamacare exchanges next year, or no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia? Does anybody…? Can anybody tell me what this collusion is alleged to be? Can anybody? Originally they said that the Russians hacked the election, so what was the hack? There is on-the-record testimony from election officials — both parties and President Obama — saying it’s impossible to affect the vote and the counting of the vote. Not possible. Obama on down: “It’s not possible....

RUSH: Now, I want to move on yesterday on this program, many of you will recall that I got a good laugh out of Trump trolling the media and the Democrats. Why did I say Trump was trolling the Democrats? Do you recall, Mr. Snerdley? What was the reason I said this? (interruption) That’s right. He was meeting with the Soviet foreign minister. The day after he fires Comey and the Democrats and the media are obsessed with this investigation that the Russians are colluding with Trump, Trump fires Comey and has a meeting in the Oval Office with the...

RUSH: My friends, I’ve often spoke of the connection Donald Trump has with his audience, with his supporters. I understand it because… Well, I just understand it. The Democrats do not have such a connection, and I’m gonna prove it to you right now. Perhaps one of the funniest… (laughing) One of the most indicative… This is one of the top five most illustrative, indicative things in this entire past 18 hours or whatever it is. Last night on CBS Stephen Colbert had a reunion of all those clowns from Comedy Central. It was hyped. It was celebrated. It was...

RUSH: Now, talking about Comey, I’m not gonna go back to all the archives here and dig up the sound and play it for you. But I want to remind you of some of the things that Comey did and, at the time, my reaction to them. Including recently, that last appearance before… I guess it was a Senate committee. Some things he did in that just boggled my mind. But I’m gonna go back to July 5th. Comey calls a press conference and says because it’s so crucial, the American people are so tuned in… With a presidential election,...

RUSH: CNN and the Washington Post with fake news. There’s a news story that Comey requested additional money for his investigation just days before he was fired. The Department of Justice has just denied it 100%. There was no request for additional money before he was fired. CNN and the Washington Post get this fake news trail going that Comey was getting close, man! He needed some more money. He needed some more money to nail Trump! And that’s when Trump moved in and said, “Screw you! You’re not getting the money. You’re not getting me.” The DOJ says it’s...

RUSH: I’ve got a golden opportunity here. There are, I mean, millions of new people listening to this program, first time, ever. In some cases first time in a long time. I’m going to take the occasion here of the new expansive listenership to illustrate how the Democrats do not change in how they oppose things they don’t like. I want to demonstrate how they lie. I want to demonstrate how their playbook doesn’t change. I want to show you how they go about it. The reason for this, I just saw Pelosi, a tape of Pelosi on CNN, claiming...

RUSH: Well, well, well, we have the president’s first hundred days now officially in the can and now under review, and as part of that review former President Barack Hussein Obama. (BEGIN PARODY) ANNOUNCER: Now, after being voted off the island we bring you President Obama with his critique of President Trump’s first hundred days. OBAMA: For the record, I was not voted off the island. I was asked to leave. Now, Donald Trump’s first 100 days have been nothing like my first 100 days. On day one I changed the direction of America. I closed down Guantanamo, traveled and...

RUSH: Ajit Pai is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. He is a wonderful man, very, very smart, and is prepared now to roll back elements of Title II of the communication law, which is popularly known as net neutrality. Net neutrality is a total creation of left-wing politics, and it has many lies, many fraudulent notions about it, such as the internet will only be free and open when government is regulating it. There will never be full free speech on the internet unless government is regulating it. Government must regulate content so that nobody has an advantage...
