RUSH: As I was saying while all this is happening, the White House today, the president gave the Rose Garden a heavy dose of Christianity. Today was the White House prayer day, and there were lots of Jewish religious leaders showing up who praised President Trump for his phone calls and reactions after the latest synagogue shooting out in San Diego. Trump was quoting from the Bible during this prayer day ceremony, using the grace of God to explain how people can recover from drugs, how they can have faith-based adoptions, how they can stop abortions, how they can recover...

RUSH: Vero Beach, Florida. Mary, great to have you. How are you? CALLER: Hi, Rush. I’m great. And so are you. I just want to say that everything President Trump has ever done or said regarding the Mueller so-called investigation was never obstruction of justice. What he was communicating at all times was his objection to injustice. Every time I hear “obstruction of justice” I substitute “objection to injustice” because that’s what it was. RUSH: You know, that is an excellent way to put this. And for those of you who think that it’s a little bit too cute by...

RUSH: (impression) Poor Robert Mueller. Poor Robert Mueller. He writes a letter to William Barr complaining that Barr’s summary letter did not capture the “context” of the probe.” There is no context! You didn’t find any collusion, and you punted on finding obstruction, and there’s nothing that’s changed, and the summary just said that. Upset it didn’t capture the context? The hell it didn’t! You had 488 pages. Barr writes a four-page summary. The media’s taken care of your context for you, Mueller. For crying out loud! You have the audacity to complain about media coverage? Robert F. Mueller III...

RUSH: All right. Let me reassure everybody, if you’re tuning in here and you’re breathlessly curious about what’s going on, I’m gonna explain it all, and it’s gonna be simple to understand because that’s what we do here. We make the complex understandable. This isn’t complex. It’s being made to look complex, but it isn’t complex. Here’s the bottom line. The attorney general is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. The Drive-Bys want you to believe that he’s up there testifying because the special counsel told the Washington Post that the attorney general is misrepresenting the Mueller report. And...

RUSH: Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist has a great piece today on Joe Biden and Anita Hill in 1998, and for her source material, she went back to the memoirs of Arlen Specter, who at the time was a Republican on the Judiciary Committee who asked Anita Hill some really, really tough questions and was beaten smithereens for doing so. Now, Biden on The View and any other places he can go in public, is out there apologizing. (impression) “Ohhhh, I’m so sorry! I mistreated Anita Hill. I didn’t do everything I could have. “I thought she was telling the...

RUSH: I want to go back to the audio sound bites here. We’ve got a lot to try squeeze in in our remaining moments. I want to go back to me from this program. I could have pulled this from any program in the past, ’cause I’ve said it constantly over and over many times. We pulled it from yesterday for a reason. Here we go. Number thee, sound bite 3… RUSH ARCHIVE: “Americans Are Some of the Most Stressed-out People in the World.” I wonder why. Could that be the Drive-By Media with all these promises? I mean, the...

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: Let’s move on to Democrat Party politics. It’s actually kind of fascinating. Last week or the week before, I don’t remember when, I was on Fox News, and every time I’m asked this question when I go on Fox News, “Who do you think the Democrat nominee is gonna be? Who do you think?” I always tell ’em “Biden,” and I do it on purpose. Also, you know, I’ll throw out, “Keep a sharp eye on Mayor Pete.” I’m trying to throw monkey wrenches into the works when I do this, ’cause I actually think Biden would be one...

RUSH: I want to share this little tweet with you before we get off into other things ’cause if I don’t do it now it may end up getting buried and it is comical. It is a tweet from the New York Times editorial board, from the New York Times opinion. And it’s the strangest thing. We already that know the New York Times is obviously populated by a bunch of anti-Semites that are setting records for anti-Semitism in the Drive-By Media. And I think all of this anti-Semitism is directed at Netanyahu and his dominance in Israeli politics. To...

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. What do you know, the Drive-By Media, the Democrat Party are starting to wake up. I don’t think they can become fully woke, but they’re starting to wake up to reality. That the Mueller report was a bomb, the Mueller report was a dud, and that they are not prepared to deal with Trump on any issue of substance. They put every weapon they have in that Mueller report, in Trump-Russia collusion, and they are slowly awakening to the fact that it has bombed out on them. You can...

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: Snerdley just asked me what was the best moment of my weekend. I had vowed not to talk about it. You know, I don’t talk about myself. All right. Let me see if I can… Look at the clock. Okay. I played golf yesterday. The people I was supposed to play with got sick and couldn’t play. So it was just me playing by myself with my caddie, which is good, because I played 27 holes in three hours, and you really get through this, and there’s no time to get down on yourself, no time to get pessimistic....

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: Are you ready for this? Are you ready for this? (interruption) No, I’m not playing any of the sound bites yet because I don’t know if I’m gonna get the entire interview in order or if we’re gonna cherry-pick it here. There’s some confusion back and forth in the email. But we’ll get to it. We’ll get to it quickly. But get this. The Wall Street Journal, just within the last I guess hour or two, published a story saying that Michael Cohen, in a recorded phone call, is now walking back parts of his guilty plea. Michael Cohen…...

RUSH: We’ll get into the interview with Martha MacCallum last night. I tell you, folks, it’s gonna be interesting. She actually did something that doesn’t happen much. She played video clips. I couldn’t see them, but she played video clips and asked me to respond to them, and so that made this somewhat different from the average television appearance. And with a compressed amount of time, I had to say a lot of things in very little time. The amount of data, amount of information, amount of commentary in this 20-minute interview was equivalent to maybe two hours of this...

RUSH: I just saw something on CNN that is funny. New York Magazine. (laughing) Everything’s striking me as funny today. New York Magazine says that Joe Biden’s campaign is beginning to look like the campaign of Jeb Bush in 2016. Now, how many delegates did Jeb Bush get? He got three. They spent a hundred million dollars. With the lead Republican consultant of all time, Mike Murphy, running the operation, they got three delegates. From New York Magazine — Biden’s campaign is resembling that of Jeb Bush. That is not a good sign. Now, here’s the truth, though. If you...

RUSH: Are you ready? We are ready, set, revved, and ready to go. Three hours broadcast excellence straight ahead right here at the EIB Southern Command behind the Golden EIB Microphone, Rush Limbaugh. 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. And email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. So Mr. Snerdley and my brother think that I ought to just replay the entire interview from Fox last night, the interview with Martha MacCallum on The Story. It was originally set up as an eight- to nine minute segment. She said, “Yeah, it’s gonna be our longest segment of the night.” I said,...

RUSH: There is an ongoing — supposedly, supposedly in the Drive-By Media, the Democrats are being walked back on their desire to impeach Trump by Pelosi. Pelosi is saying (paraphrasing), “I don’t think you got it yet. Keep digging. But we’re not there yet.” Meanwhile, all these other Democrats, Swalwell and all these other people are out there, “Oh, no, we’re gonna impeach, we’re gonna remove Trump.” Swalwell is predicting that Trump is gonna be removed from office. Now, one of the prevailing theories on this is that if they impeach Trump, they go through the motions. And impeachment is...

RUSH: Did you see where Bob Woodward is calling the Steele dossier a bunch of garbage? Bob Woodward is saying that there needs to be action taken to get to the bottom of it to find out how this garbage, how this outrage could have been so prominently used by the FBI and the CIA. Come on, Bob! You know what’s happening here, folks? First, over the weekend, we have the New York Times running the story that I highlighted prominently yesterday, where they now acknowledge that the Steele dossier could well have been (impression) “Russian disinformation. “It’s likely the...

RUSH: Mitt Romney says he is “sickened by Trump’s behavior during the Russian probe.” I guess it’s clear that Romney is never gonna forgive Trump for not making him his secretary of state. You know, the irony here is Romney claims to be “sickened” by Trump’s dishonesty while he repeats two blatant lies, maybe three. Romney is no conservative while claiming to be “a severe conservative.” See, this is what’s wrong. Romney should be sickened by the Mueller report itself, not what it says. He should be sickened by what has happened here. Romney and every other Republican should be...
