RUSH: Okay. So, now we know the evidence is clear, the evidence is in. What we have suspected all along is the case. The special counsel, Robert Mueller, wanted to nail President Trump and still wants to nail President Trump. There is no difference between Robert Mueller and any Democrat or member of the media in that town. The only problem that Robert Mueller had was there isn’t any evidence to nail the president, and so he is attempting to imply that the president committed all kinds of crimes, but, in the end, Robert Mueller says Department of Justice guidelines...

RUSH: Well, just as I told you they were gonna do, they have started doing it. The Democrats have now begun their reading of the sacred text. The Democrats are now reading the Mueller report. Ha! There’s a special hearing in the House where they are actually reading the Mueller report. They began by reading the claim from the Mueller report that the Russians interfered in the 2016 election in sweeping form. So is that why Hillary won the popular vote by three million votes, that the Russians had something to do with that? Did the Democrats ever stop to...

RUSH: It gets even better than that, because (just as I told you yesterday) James Comey… (laughing) James Comey and Brennan are continuing their feud, or what is shaping up to be a feud, as they now disagree about what the other did and said. “James Comey says that in 2006 John Brennan, Obama’s CIA director, insisted on including the dossier in their intelligence community assessment.” But Brennan says, “No, no, no, no, no. Comey wanted to use the dossier.” They know the truth is coming, and now they’re all throwing each other under the bus. And a comment made...

RUSH: You’ve gotta hear something. I don’t know about you, but one of the things that I just can’t stand in life is people that make noise when they eat. I just can’t stand it. (sigh) I have to look away. I’m really helped in this by the fact that I can’t hear as well I used to. I’m not complaining, observing. (interruption) No. Complaining, I’d be asking something to do something about it. I’m not asking anybody to do anything about it. I’m just sharing with you here that I just… I can’t stand it. I can’t stand the...

RUSH: Seattle and this is Pete. Great to have you, Pete. How are you? CALLER: I am fine, Rush. It's an honor to talk to you. RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. CALLER: The sin that those four fellows committed was not being swamp dwellers. They were probably — RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on. He's talking about the four people that were innocent that were kept in jail by Mueller so as to protect Whitey Bulger's informant status. Okay. These four, they were not swamp dwellers, you're saying. CALLER: So in that case, Mueller's crime was...

RUSH: Okay. Let me tell you the next thing to keep a sharp eye out for, folks, and that is people fleeing the country. If you see James Comey in Argentina or if you see James Clapper somewhere where they can’t be extradited, then you will know that we are getting close. When these people start leaving… I’m half joking. It hasn’t started yet, but man, are they nervous, because the attorney general has appointed a prosecutor to look into the investigation. And not only that, Fox News is reporting that their sources are telling them that John Durham —...

RUSH: It’s amazing. The Drive-By Media now understands the concept of tax cuts and tax increases, but it took tariffs and a tariff war with the ChiComs for the Drive-Bys to understand it. I’m being ironic and a little sarcastic. They know it and understand it. It’s just that since the Republicans own mantra of tax cuts, since that is a Republican owned belief… Democrats don’t believe in cutting taxes; Republicans do, and the Democrats know it. So whenever the concept of tax cuts comes up, the Democrats and the media have to destroy it, as they did the latest...

RUSH: Do you realize it may well be the Democrat primary race is over? In New Hampshire, Joe Biden is blowing out Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders was up 30 points nationally, he was up 25 or 30 points in New Hampshire, the last poll, and Biden has just launched over Bernie Sanders. This may not be bad, by the way. Don’t misunderstand. When I say “us,” meaning the Trumpster, may not be a bad thing. A bunch of mad Bernie voters might end up voting for Trump before the end of the day, but nevertheless — and Trump’s even tweeting:...

RUSH: The thing off the top to me today is Pelosi. I find this as rich as it can be. Pelosi as gathered her Democrats together to tell ’em a couple things. A, do not go down this path of impeachment, do not do it, and do not respond to exuberances in our party, and by that she means the Millennial socialists like AOC and some of the others. She says (paraphrasing), “We won the 2018 midterms by talking about mainstream media things like jobs and health care and tax cuts and all of this kind of stuff.” Of course,...

RUSH: She and Bill are out on this tour. I told you it’s gonna bomb out, and it’s bombing out. They can barely give tickets away to this thing. The Bill and Hillary Clinton on tour, on stage. They got so disturbed by seeing the crowds that Trump was drawing for his rallies that they had to get in on that. They had to show that they had the same drawing power. They had to demonstrate that there were just as many excited people to hear them as there are people that want to hear Trump. So they began this...

RUSH: The president promised to bring back manufacturing jobs. The headline from the Wall Street Journal: “U.S. Steel to Invest $1.2 Billion at Pennsylvania Mills — United States Steel Corp. outlined plans Thursday for the biggest upgrade of its steelmaking operations in decades by investing more than a $1 billion in its plants near,” the steel city. “The company also intends to build a cogeneration plant at its coking coal ovens in nearby Clairton to decrease emissions by using waste gases from the coking process to generate electricity.” Wherever you look. You want the Never Trumper take on this? I...

RUSH: During the busy broadcast today, folks, I’m gonna be going back to yesterday for audio sound bites. Attorney General Barr was spectacular later in the day yesterday when we had gone off the air, we had concluded our program, and I wanted to play also for you the second half of the Mazie Hirono slander assault on the attorney general. I want to mix that with things that happened this morning. They’re all interrelated. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, let’s go back to yesterday. Here we are starting with audio sound bite number 26. I want you to hear this....

RUSH: So let me just get to an overriding thought here. I have thought the Mueller report was bogus from before it was written. I have thought the Mueller investigation was bogus from before it began. I have thought this whole story of collusion was a trumped-up political thing hatched by the losers of the 2016 presidential election, and I don’t need to go through all that. You’ve heard me say this. I’ve made the point over and over again. Mueller got the file. He got the file from Comey on his first day on the job, opens the file;...

RUSH: Folks, this is not sour grapes, and it’s not partisan, even though it would be extremely difficult for me to convince outsiders of that. But this entire Joe Biden campaign — and, in fact, much of the left’s campaign against Trump — is a series of lies. One of the big lies that they’re telling is that the tax cut, the Trump tax cut, didn’t help anybody. Biden’s out there making the point (impression), “A $2 trillion tax cut! Did you see it? You didn’t get any of it. That’s right.” (grumbling) There’s a big story on Drudge today....

RUSH: Mayor Pete took the train to Sylvia’s in Harlem yesterday. Was it yesterday? I guess it was yesterday. (interruption) It was yesterday. Now, the reason he did that was to meet with the Reverend Sharpton. Now, I have a different take on this. The Drive-By Media look at it as, “This is Mayor Pete. This is really smart on Mayor Pete’s part. He’s going up to Harlem and he’s talking to the Reverend Sharpton about black people, and he’s trying to get knowledge on the background of black people. He’s trying to learn about black people, even after firing...

RUSH: Now, the Poway synagogue shooting. Once again, there has been a shooting by a guy who hates Trump. The shooter here hates Trump and hates conservatives and calls both of them, us and Trump, vile names. Yet the Democrats and the media still trying to blame Trump and conservatives for the shooting! Meanwhile, anti-Semitism has totally taken over the Democrat Party, and do you know how they’re disguising it? They’re using opposition to Israel as their platform for full-fledged, universal anti-Semitism, including and led by the New York Times. It’s a strange juxtaposition, because America’s left-wing Jewish population is...

RUSH: Did you watch the finale last night? Not the finale. (interruption) You didn’t…? (interruption) Do you watch Game of Thrones? (interruption) You watch it last night? (interruption) Okay. (interruption) Well, so I won’t do any spoiler alert. Oh, one thing I do want to say. For those of you who haven’t watched it yet, I’m gonna try to give you some assistance here. The entirety of the episode… It’s an hour and 22 minutes. Virtually 85% of it is battle action. Of course, “Winter is Coming,” “the Night King… It all takes place at night, and there have been...

RUSH: Hi, folks. Rush Limbaugh here and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. I’m just jumping straight into it. This report is exactly what I thought it was gonna be, and it is being reacted to exactly as I thought it would be reacted to. There is no need for a 400-page report. There’s only one reason for a 400-page report, and that is to create the news environment that is occurring right now. This report could have been issued in one page: We found no evidence of collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign, period, and we don’t have...

RUSH: There is fire at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, and it looks huge. The wooden roof appears to be on the way to becoming fully engulfed. There was originally just a small plume of smoke that came out of it from a distant photographer, but now they’ve got news cameras in there, and it is massive, this fire at Notre Dame. It has preempted coverage of the imminent release of the Mueller report on all of cable news. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Notre Dame Cathedral continues to burn. The main spire there has collapsed. That’s one of the identifying...

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 1. This is President Trump late Friday afternoon. He tweeted it first, and then he doubled down on the idea, and I just wanted you to hear him say it because we only had the tweet on Friday when I was still doing the program. But I just love this. Trump: Let's see if sanctuary cities have open armsTHE PRESIDENT: We’ll bring the illegal — really, you call them the illegals. I call them the illegals. They came across the border illegally. We’ll bring them to sanctuary city areas and let that particular area...
