Free Republic

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yes, I've heard about the NBC poll. In a couple of minutes. It's right here. I'm gonna get to it in just a second. All in due time. It's a three-hour program. Of course I've heard about it. It's a joke. They sample 11% more Democrats than Republicans, and even at that they can only get Obama a six-point lead. Yesterday we were talking, Reuters was the only poll with Obama up six. We were talking about what a joke it was. My question is, what's the Wall Street Journal doing partnering with this bunch? Everybody knows...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Folks, it's working! Barack Obama said his plan is working. This is Monday night in Oakland during a campaign speech... OBAMA: (godlike reverb) Just like we've tried their plan, we've tried our plan, and it worked. FOLLOWERS: (smattering of cheers) Obama: "We Tried Our Plan -- And It Worked."OBAMA: (godlike reverb) That's the difference. That's the choice in this election. That's why I'm running for a second term. RUSH: The god reverb is back. You notice that? But he said, "Just like we've tried their plan, we've tried our plan, and it worked. That's the difference. That's...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: As I mentioned, four different stories here on Obamacare and the CBO. Let me just give you the headlines first, and in no particular order. "CBO to Employers: Obamacare has $4B More in Taxes than Expected." Next headline: "Court’s Ruling May Blunt Reach of the Health Law." That's the New York Times. From TheHill.com: "CBO: Supreme Court Decision Cuts Cost of Healthcare Reform by $84 Billion." Well, how does that work? "CBO to Employers: Obamacare has $4B More in Taxes than Expected." And yet The Hill: "CBO: Supreme Court Decision Cuts Cost of Healthcare Reform by $84...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Two Fridays ago, Barack Hussein Obama was in Roanoke, Virginia. I want you to grab audio sound bite number 17. This is hilarious, by the way, folks, what's coming up here. You've heard Obama, it's what's coming up after the Obama. I just want to repeat this, Barack Obama, Roanoke, Virginia, on July 13th, explaining to people that if they started a business, that they really didn't, that everybody else did it for 'em. OBAMA: If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. RUSH: No. OBAMA: You didn't get there on your own. I'm...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: A little statistic for you. Since the beginning of 2012 -- we're almost now to August, so we've got seven months in, pretty much seven months in. Since the start of 2012, the death count in Chicago is 274. In seven months, the death count in Chicago, 274. They have some of the strictest gun laws in the country, just as they do in Colorado. You know, all of us have certain traits that reflect upon our character, and when those characteristics, when those traits cluster in a manner that causes a person to function in a...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, I mentioned at the beginning of the program that Andrew McCarthy has a piece at PJMedia.com. Andy's a new columnist there, having moved over from National Review. Now, to refresh your memory, Andy McCarthy was the man who, along with Patrick Fitzgerald, incidentally, prosecuted Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheik, who was the first guy to engineer the first blowing up of the World Trade Center, 1993. The blind sheik and his buddies had massive plans to blow up bridges and tunnels, and many of Obama's precious roads in Manhattan and New Jersey. McCarthy prosecuted Omar...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We'll start in Chatham, New Jersey, with Greg. And I'm really glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi. CALLER: Hey, it's my honor to wait for you any time, Rush. RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. I understand that totally. CALLER: Rush, I want to preface my comments that are on the board there with a quick story. Thank you for coming to the defense of the Constitution and the NRA. I myself this weekend got into a heated Facebook discussion with two of my friends that I've known since high school. They immediately...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: It has been quite instructive. This has been very, very illustrative, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday on this program I uttered some words about the new Batman movie, and the evil villain named Bane. I made some comments about it. Doesn't matter what. I have had more reaction to that than anything, including the Fluke thing. I've had my brother telling me that Twitter is going nuts. I've been getting hateful e-mail, supportive e-mail. More people are concerned about whatever I might have said or didn't say about a Batman villain than they are about their own jobs....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT Snerdley, have you read the novel 50 Shades of Grey? (interruption) Well, let me tell you something. You need to get it. (interruption) Yeah, because... See, Snerdley thinks that he is the Dr. Ruth of men. (interruption) I'm getting there. I'm being asked questions here. I'm getting to the answers that you all want. I'd never heard of it 'til yesterday. So I'm reading Page Six in the New York Post, and I see that movie rights have been negotiated for this book. They describe a little bit of the book. It's a chick book, written by a...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Supreme Court had a couple decisions today. One of them, big whoop, the FCC didn't warn Fox and CBS early enough so the F-word was fine as it happened on TV. The F-bomb was inadvertent, the FCC didn't tell 'em soon enough not to do it or what have you. Then there was a 7-2 decision where the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals got slapped down along with the Service Employees International Union. Now, in and of itself, it's not monumental. Well, I could be wrong about that. Some of these Supreme Court decisions, it takes...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let's go to the phones before we resume on the sound bites. Crown Point, Indiana, is where we're gonna start with Frank. Great to have you here, sir. Hello. CALLER: Yes, hello. Thank you, sir. I'm calling about the Fast and Furious thing. RUSH: Yeah? CALLER: The president or his administration sent guns into Mexico and had to assume that they'd be used and kill Mexican citizens. But then the president's trying to get Latino votes, but he doesn't care if Mexican die? RUSH: Well, he didn't figure on Mexicans figuring out Fast and Furious. I know...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You know what they're asking themselves in the White House today? They're probably asking themselves a lot of things, and they're probably lying to themselves about a lot of things. I think the question that they're asking themselves today, something along the lines of, "What if all of the polling we have is wrong?" Greetings, my friends, great to have you back. Here we are, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. Great to be with you. Here's the telephone number. 800-282-2882. E-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. Like many powerful, influential members of the media,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I watched something fascinating last night. You know, my brother has got a book out. The name of the book is The Great Destroyer. And it is a compendium of virtually everything Obama has done and said that gives away who he is and what's ahead and in store for us if he's reelected. David was to appear on Hannity last night, which he did. But Hannity led off with a focus group from somewhere in Wisconsin with Frank Luntz. And I watched that with my mouth wide open. Did you see that? Any of you see...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here's Alan in Bayside, Queens, great to have you on the EIB Network, Alan. Hello. CALLER: Yes, good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh. Had a question for you, sir. RUSH: Yes, sir, fire away. CALLER: Do you think a school has any place telling our kids what secondary language to learn? RUSH: I know what you're talking about. This is about Arabic being taught, right? CALLER: Yes, in New York, in the upper part of the city. RUSH: Yeah. Well, Arabic may be new, but aren't there plenty of school districts that require a second language to be taught?...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Victor Davis Hanson: "The Power of Cool -- When Barack Obama two years ago joked at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that potential suitors of his two daughters might have to deal with Predator drones ('But boys, don’t get any ideas. Two words for you: Predator drones. You will never see it coming.'), the liberal crowd roared." So Obama telling a joke about boys that want to date his daughters, he'll shoot 'em down out of the sky. The liberal crowd roared. "That failed macabre joke would have earned George W. Bush a week of headline condemnation...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Elizabeth Warren, folks, I've been thinking about this. Why should she have to prove her heritage? Now, remember, she's a liberal. And she's asserted there's no documentation for this. There's no evidence that she is one-thirty-second Cherokee, and she makes the assertion throughout her career because somebody in her family told her that somebody in her family way-back-when was Cherokee. So her ratio is one-thirty-second Cherokee, and the proof is in the cheekbones. Remember that? I got to thinking, she's a liberal. Why should she have to provide proof of heritage. Liberals don't believe in documentation of...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You remember last week -- you may not, but I do. And I'm here to tell you and to remind you. Last week there were headlines trumpeting that jobless claims were down 1,000 and the unemployment rate fell from 8.2 to 8.1%. They were honest and said it's not because new jobs are being created; it's because people are leaving the workforce and there's a smaller universe of people working and jobs available against which to compare the unemployed and get your percentage. Jobless claims down 1,000. Big news. The trend continues. But like always, it turns...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: "House Republican leaders are quietly hatching a plan of attack as they await a historic Supreme Court ruling on President Barack Obama’s health care law. If the law is upheld, Republicans will take to the floor to tear out its most controversial pieces, such as the individual mandate and requirements that employers provide insurance or face fines." Okay, so far, so good, if the health care bill is left intact, the Republicans say they're gonna take to the floor and try to take out the individual mandate and the requirement that employers provide insurance or face fines....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I'll tell you, here's what I know. Here's what I know, and this is after only an hour of... and, by the way, you must know, I have to tell you what this feels like. Guilt. I only did an hour of show prep, but I feel like I'm skipping school today. I feel like I'm not fulfilling expectations, so we'll see. This is what I know. Mitt Romney was not at Chappaquiddick. Mitt Romney has not been accused of rape. Mitt Romney did not have an affair with a mob babe. He didn't have an affair...

>BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 24. Snerdley, listen to this. This is ABC's This Week. It's the roundtable on Sunday. Jacob Tapper was sitting in for George Stephanopoulos, who's sitting in for -- or no. Stephanopoulos, I guess, is permanent now. And Jake Tapper says to George Will, "George, is football in trouble, or is this just the media making a muck?" WILL: It's in trouble for two reasons. First of all: The human body is not built for the violence that is inherent in football at the highest level. Second: People are gonna watch football differently...
