RUSH: In other lighthearted news, James Comey. Did you see? These are bizarre comments James Comey made yesterday at a cyber security conference outside San Francisco. By the way, does anybody find it strange that Comey is still out there weighing in on all this? He’s been fired. He has been repudiated. He was discredited in a lot of this. Yet he’s still out there. Clapper’s still out there. Brennan’s still… Well, Brennan’s kind of gone underground. But Comey was at a cyber security conference outside San Francisco. He got a question about Barr’s comments about spying during his hearing...

RUSH: What were, ladies and gentlemen, the two big lies before the midterm elections? Let’s remember. The Drive-By Media pushed two big lies nonstop, constantly, in the weeks leading up to the midterms. One, that Mueller was about to release his report, which would show Trump was guilty of collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice. The second big lie that was repeated as news repeatedly before the midterms was that the migrant caravans coming north and the crisis at the border were part of a giant myth made up by Trump. There wasn’t any crisis at the border and...

RUSH: I honestly don’t think that what has happened today has sunk in yet. I’m watching CNN. They’ve got a graphic: “Barr: I think spying did occur on Trump campaign. But the AG says no specific evidence, only concerns so far.” I’m looking at that screen, that picture of CNN. Now, for over two years every time I looked up at CNN the chyron graphic had to do with Trump colluding with Russia, for over two years, all day, every day. Maybe they took a break and did other news, but the central focus of CNN — I’m using CNN...

RUSH: Folks, this is great. This is very, very good. It was only yesterday right here on this program we were discussing the testimony at the time of the attorney general, William Barr, before a bunch of these inflated ego congressional committees. And Mr. Snerdley asked me a question: “Do you think there will ever actually be an investigation into what happened, into who did this, who was behind this coup to get rid of a president, overturn the presidential elections, and do you think that we will ever see results from it?” And I paused, and I said to...

RUSH: It’s one of those days, folks — and there aren’t many — but when they happen, you need to stop, take stock and take notice. This is one of those days that is a bad day for leftists around the world. In Israel, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu won reelection for a fifth term. Now, leading up to it we got the same kind of news leading up to the 2016 race, Bibi was hated, he was despised, he was a criminal, he was a thug, he was corrupt, and there was no way. His own party hated his guts....

RUSH: Folks, you have to hear this. Our old buddy Jim Rutenberg. Now, you’ve heard me mention Rutenberg. When I first heard of Jim Rutenberg, he was a media columnist at the New York Times. And he was one of the few reporters at the New York Times which reported on me, Rush H. Limbaugh III, and this program not just fairly, but accurately and honestly. That is so unusual that we always note it when it happens in the Drive-By Media. And Rutenberg has always been, when I have made it into stories that he has written, I’ve always...

RUSH: You know, it amazes me what makes news that happens on this program. You know, yesterday Mr. Snerdley and I were talking about Mick Jagger and his heart valve surgery that he’s gonna get done in the U.S. instead of the U.K. national health system, whatever it is. That’s its own little interesting point. But here is Mick Jagger, who is, I have to say, he’s a health nut. He’s a vegan, he did everything right after his initial flirtation as a young rock guy with all of the temptations out there. He is rail thin. He is well...

RUSH: All right. Now, this, folks, is gonna be a real test of where we are. This is gonna be a real test of the American judiciary and our criminal, legal justice system. We’re going to find out quite a bit here. I don’t know about you, but I’m not all that confident what ought to happen here is going to happen. We’ll just have to wait and see.Greetings. Great to have you. Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. The telephone number is 800-282-2882.Folks, I have to be honest with you. I’m...

RUSH: Now, moving on to the Mueller report and the Democrats demand to see the whole thing. There is a story here in The Politico magazine by a reporter by the name of Renato Mariotti. Renato Mariotti is the legal affairs columnist for Politico magazine. He’s a former federal prosecutor. In this piece, he sounds like a raving lunatic. In a nutshell, I will summarize the piece for you as Barr summarized the Mueller report. Renato Mariotti admits that Barr can redact grand jury testimony and material involving national security.The Democrats are making a demand to see the whole...

RUSH: Victoria Toensing — and she’s not alone — believes that the real center of this effort to get rid of Trump is John Brennan. Grab sound bite 8. We’ll squeeze it in here real quick. She was on Varney & Co. the Fox Business Network. And he said, “Do you believe there was a deep state conspiracy to undermine Trump and overturn the election?”TOENSING: Oh, absolutely. It started with, of course, the dossier. But they didn’t know how to handle it, so Brennan is the mastermind. Brennan should be behind bars. Then Brennan had to launder it ’cause...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, we gotta get rid of the light-hearted stuff, and some may say that it’s all lighthearted, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She just continues to literally embarrass herself. But I don’t know if it’s impossible for her to be embarrassed by herself. So she may not know that she is embarrassing herself. Listen to this quote. She was doubling down on the fact that earth is imperiled because of the cow, well, farts. Expelation of gas, methane. She’s really trying to get people to understand the severity and seriousness of this problem, and she said. Dadelut dadelut dadelut...

RUSH: Now, we’ve heard President Trump talk about treasonous things having happened in the investigation into him and collusion with Russia, and he has pretty much acknowledged that it traces back to the Obama administration. I made the point yesterday that the counterintelligence apparatus of the United States of America, the entire counterintelligence apparatus — this would be the FBI counterintel, the CIA, the NSA, the vaunted so-called intelligence agencies — were all repositioned and retooled for one express purpose, and that was to reverse the election results of 2016. And we know that much of this began even before...

RUSH: So let me see if I understand this — and you may not have heard this. There was news out today that General Michael Flynn, a dedicated military veteran, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (that’s the defense department’s version of the CIA), back during the Obama administration, by the way — and Obama hated this guy. He didn’t like Flynn at all. Michael Flynn was one of the first endorsers of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, and he was named during the transition to head up the national security apparatus in the White House. And Director of National...

RUSH: Okay, folks, stop applauding. Stop cheering this! There’s nothing to applaud here. Well, there’s something to applaud, but you should not applaud that Robert Mueller didn’t find anything. That validates Mueller, it validates this investigation, it validates this entire waste of time. It validates a hoax to applaud the fact that Mueller found nothing. There never was anything to find! There never was any collusion! There was never, ever any evidence of collusion! Therefore, there could never, ever be any evidence of obstruction of justice. The dossier was the sole reason all of this happened, and it was created...

“If life is cheap, if life is not special, if life doesn’t have anything noteworthy about it, then nobody is going to have any appreciation for it at any stage of it. My God, this is Satanic! This is just – and they pass these bills and they end up applauding and whooping it up, and I still maintain that one of the primary reasons for that is that they are celebrating victory over us, that they are just loving cramming it down our throats. They love getting in our face and telling us to go to hell, and this...

RUSH: Man, oh, man, folks, are the liberals letting the cat out of the bag on a couple of key issues of theirs. It is stunning! It is stunning to me. I pointed that out last week when this Northam business began and the New York State Senate action on post-birth abortion, not partial birth, post-birth abortion, getting a standing ovation in New York State Senate. Ralph Northam basically saying the same thing, and now they’re not even talking about that. They’re covering that up with this blackface business and his lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax. So they’ve let the cat...

RUSH: But now something else has happened. Elizabeth Warren has apologized twice now. The first time was last week. She apologized to the Cherokee Nation for taking a DNA test. Then yesterday she apologized for ever saying that she was an Indian, for ever saying that she was a Native American. “Elizabeth Warren Apologizes for Calling Herself Native American.” This was in the Washington Post, and it’s kind of textbook. The Washington Post reported they had “uncovered a registration card for the State Bar of Texas on which Elizabeth Warren identified herself as “American Indian.'” The Washington Post says, “It...

RUSH: The media is blowing up now. There is a leak that a temporary shutdown agreement has been reached and will be announced by the president at 1 o’clock today. Let’s see, what are the…? (muttering) “Temporary… Temporarily reached … Government…” “Reopen Temporarily,” is what the headline is on Drudge. Why would that be? Why would there be a temporary reopening of the government? Doesn’t say for how long. Maybe to pay people. Maybe to see if the Democrats will come to some agreement on paying all these people that are not being paid, because there have been bills. The...

RUSH: The great deception continues. The out front, up and front misrepresentations and lies continue about Trump colluding with Russia. There is no and has not been any Trump collusion with Russia, and Mueller and his team have known about this. They’ve known this from the get-go. It’s not that they’ve known it for the past year. They have known it from the get-go. This continues to be one of the greatest frauds, one of the greatest political frauds perpetrated on the American people under the guise of a legitimate criminal investigation. JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny south Florida,...

RUSH: But one of the things that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said… She was on Colbert last night, and Colbert actually asked her, “So…” Folks, I can’t repeat this. It’s the F-word that he asked her in terms of, “So do you give a” F-word? He asked her (paraphrased), “How many f-[words] do you give a rat’s rear end about all these critics?” And her answer is… They bleeped it out. But he actually used the word in the telecast. She said so many stupid things, but chief among them was we only have 12 years… Now, this is not some...
