RUSH: Jim in Middletown, Pennsylvania. You’re next. It’s great to have you with us, sir. Hi. CALLER: Rush, it is an absolute pleasure to talk to you. I have been a converted… I was a Democrat. Now I’ve been listening to you for the last couple years. I was elected as a Democratic mayor of Middletown, Pennsylvania. I ended up voting for Donald Trump, left the Democratic Party as quickly as possible, and I’m calling to tell you that with regard to Bernie Sanders’ plan, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. I am a Millennial, being 35 years old. I will...

RUSH: James O’Keefe, Project Veritas, found a Google insider to spill the beans. The Google insider said, “The reason why I came to Project Veritas is that you’re the only one I trust to be able to be a real investigative journalist. Investigative journalist is a dead career option, but somehow, you’ve been able to make it work.” Insider Blows Whistle & Exec Reveals Google Plan to Prevent "Trump situation" in 2020 on Hidden CamBACKUP VIDEO AVAILABLE: https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/0... Some of the things that the Google insider said on video, Google is hell-bent on never letting somebody like Donald Trump come...

RUSH: Nancy Pelosi. As you know, the president last week said that he was gonna order these massive raids by ICE personnel to track down illegal immigrants and then deport them. Then all of a sudden, he said he wasn’t gonna do it. He was gonna wait two weeks to see if Congress can get in gear, pass some kind of legislation that would accomplish the same thing. Nancy Pelosi’s out there claiming credit for this. She’s claiming credit for getting Trump to pull back on this, by claiming that she told him that he was scaring the children. From...

RUSH: Bill de Blasio, mayor New York City: “Driver’s licenses for all.” He’s also a presidential contender. He says “he supports allowing everyone, including those who are undocumented, to get a driver’s license in New York. ‘You know, when I’m in New York City traffic, I’m not thinking about whether someone is documented or undocumented. I’m thinking about whether someone drives safely, and the best way to make sure that people drive safe is if they have a driver’s license,’ de Blasio said.” Absolute… (laughing) Is this man really as obtuse as he appears to be? Is this guy as...

RUSH: I’m holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a story on how pollsters manipulate polls. How do you manufacture a lead for your chosen candidate? How do you do this? And it’s very crucial to do it. You publish a poll that shows your guy up with a 10- or 12-point lead. It can be dispiriting to your opponents’ voters. It can be dispiriting to your opponent. And it can chill, it can chill enthusiasm. “Oh, my God. My guy’s down 12. Aw, jeez. All is lost. Ah.” And that’s how it works. How do you do it? Hey,...

RUSH: They had one of these Impeach Trump Day rallies over in Naples, Florida, yesterday. The population over there in that region is about 350,000 people. You know how many people showed up at the Impeach Trump Day rally? Six. And they’re all pictured here. They are six, shall we say, older, white women who are screaming at cars passing by during the Impeach Trump rally, and they’re holding up a sign that says “Impeach” so that people will know what they’re doing. Six. Maybe only five. And nobody driving by seems to care. Some facts for you. There are...

RUSH: And here we go again, folks. Here we go again. Donald Trump sets ’em up, they haven’t figured it out yet. I’m kind of reluctant to explain it here ’cause I don’t want ’em to figure it out, but I gotta explain it so that you get it. Everybody calm down here. So Donald Trump says, “Yeah, if some foreign bad guys call me with dirt on Crooked Hillary, sure, I think about taking it.” Except the Mueller report is filled with evidence that the Russians tried to offer Trump dirt and he didn’t take it! That’s what the...

RUSH: Now, we’ll deal with this poll here when we come back in just a second. I’m gonna show you that polls taken this far out, and I’m gonna show you where Bill Clinton was gonna lose in a landslide. I’ll show you where Gary Hart was gonna be win in a landslide, where John Edwards was gonna win in a landslide. I’ve got all this polling data that I went back and looked at to make the case that you ought to be ignoring anything that says Trump is gonna lose in a landslide right now ’cause it doesn’t...

Wednesday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh slammed Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller for his statement regarding whether or not President Donald Trump had committed obstruction of justice during his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Limbaugh called such a statement an “abomination” of the U.S. justice system.

RUSH: Speaking of Hillary Clinton, folks, we had this piece yesterday from the Federalist by Mr. H. A. Goodman, and it was one of those pieces that you read it, and you say, “Yeah, yeah.” You know it all, but you get kind of frustrated that you didn’t think of it all yourself. His point basically was (without rehashing the whole thing) that every bit of everything we know or think we know — every news item, every little bit of information that fed this narrative the past two years or three now, that Trump colluded with Russia — came...

RUSH: Now, let me move on from some of these stories about Trump and the U.K. I think half the protests in the U.K. are bought and paid for, by the way, either by the Brits or by the Americans. I think half of it’s phony. The stupid mayor over there is writing op-eds and saying blasphemous things, comparing Trump to Hitler and the Nazis and so forth. It’s just absurd. And yet the president’s going through with this and fighting back as he always does. But back here in the United States the Democrat Party continues to not know...

RUSH: More on the California Democrat convention and the booing of John Hickenlooper. The former governor of Colorado gets booed off the stage, practically, for simply saying heading in the direction of socialism is not… Not “heading in the direction.” Socialism is not the answer. The people in California didn’t want to hear that. California’s Democrats… California, politically, is a socialist state now — and I say that in the meaning of the term ideologically. Of course, that encompasses attitudinal and behavioral and everything else. From all intents and purposes, California is a socialist state. So let’s examine just some...

RUSH: It was just last week I went through the process again of explaining how the left and how the media do not understand Donald Trump and do not make one slight effort, not the slightest effort to understand him. They persist in purposely misunderstanding and misrepresenting Donald Trump. And we’re just lucky that we have somebody in the face of all this who fires back. You know what I saw? Do you know what Trump’s approval numbers are in the U.K., which is where he is right now? It’s been kind of funny to watch these videos of Trump...

RUSH: Trump’s new hairdo. I have seen the version of Donald Trump that you saw in the news media yesterday and the day before, whatever, last night, today. Four times this year alone. And I’ll tell you when it happens. After a round of golf. Now, when I saw this yesterday, video of Trump showing up at the church, I saw he still had his golf shoes on and the slacks that he wears playing golf. He doesn’t wear a suit on the golf course, and he had on a blazer. And his hair looked the way it did. What...

RUSH: Well! Look at this, my friends: “President Trump’s job approval rating is the highest it’s been in two years.” This is just out from TheHill.com. It’s actually a polling unit, the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey. “President Trump’s job approval rating is the highest it’s been in two years, boosted by voter optimism about the economy…” Forty-eight percent job approval. This poll normally has Trump at 43 or 44. “That’s up from 45% approval in March.” The survey found 48% approve. This is just gonna drive ’em batty! It’s just gonna drive them nuts! It’s right along the lines… Mark...

RUSH: So I see that everybody’s upset — and I mean everybody, I mean people on both sides of the political dividing line — are upset that Trump is quoting the pot-bellied dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, and claiming that Joe Biden is a low-IQ individual and that the Obama/Biden administration was a disaster. Trump is agreeing with Kim Jong-un. Everybody: “I can’t believe Trump would do this! He would leave the country, he would go beyond the water’s edge and he would then insult a former president and vice president. I cannot believe it.” What do you mean,...

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...
