Free Republic

RUSH: So, I just checked the email during the break, and I got an interesting email from a listener, interestingly enough, out on the feces-strewn streets of San Francisco. It was, “Rush, you might be missing this. Isn’t it true, Rush, that the president probably would benefit from being impeached?” Meaning: Wouldn’t that revive and coalesce his base? “And isn’t that why the Democrats haven’t really done it, because they know that the public is opposed to it.” All the polling data shows the public is not in favor of impeachment, and additional polling data shows that most Americans want...

RUSH: You can also look for the media to create a new chorus today, and that is that the attorney general lied and misrepresented what the special counsel told him. During his press conference announcing his analysis of the Mueller report, the Attorney General Barr said that he specifically asked Mueller if the Office of Legal Counsel guidelines (i.e., you can’t indict a sitting president) played any role in your decision not to charge the president with any obstruction? Barr said that Mueller told him “no,” the guidelines had nothing to do with it. So Mueller goes out there today...

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: Quick question, ladies and gentlemen, should all the statues of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King now come down? Should all of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King boulevards throughout America be renamed? I ask this because of a story that you can’t find in the Drive-By Media. You cannot find it. It ran over the weekend, but you can’t find it. “Sealed FBI audiotapes allege the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had affairs with 40 women and watched while a friend raped a woman, according to a report.” FBI documents from the sixties… And we don’t doubt...

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: Now this impeachment, just before the program started, ladies and gentlemen, I saw a little blurb go by on the bottom of the screen on the Fox News Channel, and I don’t remember exactly what it was, but I’m paraphrasing. A couple of Democrats or Democrat groups are continuing to add pressure on Pelosi to pull the trigger on impeaching Trump. And one of the things I have been eager to point out, one of the reasons I wanted to get back here today is that the Drive-Bys and the Democrats, Pelosi, are trying to make it look like...

RUSH: Just a couple things here before we go to the break. At last count, five million people without power in Ohio. Fifty-one tornadoes I saw on the Drudge Report. Nearly half of the population of Ohio is without power early today, including a large and dangerous tornado that was northwest of Dayton. The destruction pictures are devastating. They’re shocking. This is not that difficult to relate to if you’ve been through any kind of a disaster where there has been significant damage to your home or dwelling. It is unnerving. It is disruptive like nothing else is. And in...

RUSH: So 64% of the American people know or think the FBI knew the dossier was a bunch of crap when they applied for a search warrant against the Trump campaign. Only 34% of those people know that Hillary Clinton paid for it. Now, here’s the next little bit of news that we have learned. It is from the Washington Times. Special counsel Robert… And, by the way, for those of you… And I’m using my empathy here… I know some of you are probably thinking, “Rush, could you get off of this? It’s over with. It’s done with.” No,...

RUSH: I don’t know if you’ve heard this or not. (Southern accent) “Ralph Northam, the governor of Virginia — who has admitted to posing in a yearbook for medical school in blackface, as in a minstrel show. He admitted it! “He has been cleared of doing it by an investigative board at the school. Despite him admittin’ that he had done did it, the investigating board say he didn’t do it, and so case closed. Ralph Northam free now to kill babies after they born and did not appear in blackface in the yearbook.” See how Democrat investigations get closed...

RUSH: I know it shouldn’t, but it continues to boggle my mind. To listen to the Drive-By Media go about doing their jobs every day, it still stuns to me. I’m amazed that it stuns me, and I’m a little mad at myself that it stuns me. William Barr gave an interview to Bill Hemmer at Fox News down there, I guess, in El Salvador. They’re looking at MS-13, and Barr talked about his investigation of the investigation. The Drive-By Media can’t believe that the attorney general’s talking about the investigation. Well, what the hell were they doing for two...

RUSH: How many of you have thought…? I mean if you’ve thought about it, how many of you have heard or thought that James Comey was a lifelong Republican? I have. I’ve always thought that James Comey was of a lifelong Republican. I’ve been told that James Comey is a lifelong Republican. It turns out not to be true. Are you aware that James Comey used to be a communist? “In a 2003 interview with New York Magazine, James Comey said, before voting for Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter 1980, he’d been a communist.” He admitted, “I’d moved from communist to...

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: Mr. Barr appointing Mr. Durham to go out there and look at the investigation, guess what’s happening? All of these participants in the coup are beginning to accuse each other. This is so delicious. Comey’s out there smearing Rosenstein. Rosenstein smears back. Brennan and Comey are going at it over who first put the unverified dossier into the intelligence briefing. Folks, it’s like rats scurrying amidst the ship to try to get off of it. They’re all out there trying to say, “I didn’t do it; you did it. “I had nothing to do with it. You did,” and...

RUSH: “‘It Goes After Roe Directly’: Alabama’s Abortion Bill Heads to State Senate — Nation’s strictest legislation would ban all abortions at any stage of pregnancy,” from the heartbeat on, “and backers hope it will fuel a challenge to Roe v Wade.” Now, you can’t imagine the reaction to this. The American left, the Democrat Party, and many American so-called moderates are beside themselves, and especially Democrats and moderates in Alabama. They’re already embarrassed to live there. Democrats and moderates. Now they think that Alabama is gonna be aborted because of all this. Now, we’re gonna get into this in...

RUSH: Oh! Have you heard about this? Trump is going to give a speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the Fourth of July, and the media is outraged that he is going to “politicize” Independence Day. They can’t stand it! They’re beside themselves with rage and anger that Trump is going to insert himself in Independence Day in our national celebrations. “Alisyn Camerota discussed President Donald Trump’s proposed address from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial as part of the Fourth of July celebration in Washington D.C.” She asked: Will Trump give a “foaming-at-the-mouth” speech where people...

RUSH: Okay. I’ll play devil’s advocate. I keep hearing from people in the email, “I’m not buying it, Rush. I’m not buying it. I’m not buying this resume business. We’re being set up.” I can’t tell you the number of emails I am getting. They’re not spam. You know, they’re not seminar emails. There are people who are telling me, “You better be very careful. They have appointed this guy who’s Mr. Impeccable so when he comes back and says, ‘There was nothing that went wrong here, that everything was aboveboard,’ nobody can question it, Rush. “So you better just...

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: Have you heard of that website Watts Up With That? It’s a website you go to when you ask somebody anything, and it has answers for oddball, screwy things, surveys and so forth. Back on May 6th, a week ago, here’s the headline. “Empirical Study: Indoctrinated U.S. Climate Activist Kids can Be Used to Influence their Conservative Parents.” Are you not…? Did you see this? This is a group of people that attempted to get a bunch of kids of conservative parents and propagandize them with a bunch of climate change data and then told them to go try...
