Free Republic

RUSH: Joe Biden has doubled down on his love for and appreciation for the segregationist senators James Eastland and Herman Talmadge. Now, this is another exercise in a point that I make. There is a host at MSNBC whose name is Kasie Hunt, and she’s talking about this. She’s reporting this story yesterday. Except when it came time to identify the party of the two segregationist senators that Joe Biden was telling everybody he loved, she called ’em Republicans. Kasie Hunt called segregationist Democrats “Republicans” yesterday when referencing Joe Biden’s remarks about civility with segregationists in the Senate. She said,...

RUSH: So Plugs Biden. We gotta move from Democrat perverts asking Hope Hicks pervy questions to Joe Biden. This guy is finished. It’s over, and you know how you know it’s over? It’s nothing to do with this segregation business, although I think that’s the trigger for it. But you want to know how this is over? Well, let’s go to audio sound bite number 10. This is ABC News. This is Good Morning America today. This is a portion of chief national affairs correspondent Tom Llamas’ report about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine and with the ChiComs. LLAMAS...

RUSH: So I got an interesting email. “Mr. Limbaugh, what do you think or who do you think is really stirring up this business with Iran?” It’s a good question, ’cause you know who’s buddy-buddy with Iran and who has been over there attempting to undermine Trump administration on policy with Iran is none other than John Kerry — the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam. I think that his daughter married some Revolutionary Guard assassin or something, some such thing. His daughter married somebody from over there. The foreign minister’s third cousin, I don’t know what, but there’s...

RUSH: Winter Haven in Florida, Kyle. How you doing, Kyle? Welcome to the program. CALLER: Rush, great to be here. Thanks so much for doing all you do, saving us and teaching us and here we are living in clown world America, honk, honk, and thank you for being the guiding light. RUSH: Thank you, sir. Thank you. I appreciate that. CALLER: Yes, sir. So I was at the rally last night, and I just want to talk on what Major Garrett had mentioned. RUSH: Yeah, go ahead. CALLER: Okay. Yeah. He was saying that, you know, some of the...

RUSH: That’s right, my friends, you are in the right place, to have everything that happened last night and all the reaction to it put in proper perspective, you are right where you need to be. And when we’re finished today, you’re not gonna need to go anywhere else. In fact, this program probably would be a gold mine of information to the liberal Democrats and the Democrat Party if they would only listen to it. But their arrogance and their conceit prevents them from learning anything, so I’m not worried about giving anything away because they will discount it...

RUSH: Okay. I think, as I pretty much always do, I have this right. The number of people that go to Disney World in Orlando on a daily basis averages out to 53,000 people. Some days it’s more, some days it’s less. That’s the average. There are more people than that lined up to get into the Trump reelection announcement rally tonight. There are more people trying to get into the Trump rally tonight than show up on average at Disney World. They’re lined up outside. It’s the Amway Center where the Trump campaign and President Trump will announce his...

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: Is anybody ticked off that Trump flip-flopped on all of this stuff? I mean, there’s CNN: Trump changes his mind saying he would call the FBI. Trump changes his mind, says if offered dirt on rivals he would tell the FBI. Trump changes his mind. Trump this, Trump that. Why did Trump change his mind? Who got to Trump? Who told him you gotta do this ’cause the media’s all over you? Trump changed his mind. Trump incorrectly says Mueller report hardly mentioned Don Jr. I mean, this cascade here is never-ending, and Victor Davis Hanson last night was...

RUSH: I’ve always told you how when the media gets in trouble, they circle the wagons and give each other awards. Dan Rather. Dan Rather gets caught making up an entire story about George W. Bush and the Texas National Guard, claims a bunch of garbage that Bush daddy’s buddies kept George W. Bush out of combat, even let him get away with skipping mandatory duty as part of the Texas National Guard. None of it was true. It was all made up. What did the Drive-By Media do after Rather was fired? Well, even before he was fired? Tom...

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: You know, the Democrats, they’re also off and harping about something now, and it’s funny. Mayor Pete. I just watched a clip of Mayor Pete out there. “I guarantee you,” said Mayor Pete, “if I become president, you won’t have me writing love letters to Kim Jong-un.” This is all because Trump said he got a lovely letter from Kim Jong-un and Kim Jong-un sees a lot of potential. Trump’s thinking of condos and ocean resorts over there trying to talk Kim Jong-un into it. He says Kim Jong-un’s getting close to liking the idea, if he can own...

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...

RUSH: We have the headlines: “Trump Slams Biden Ahead of Competing Events in Iowa.” “Trump Criticizes Biden Before Departing for Iowa.” No, no! Trump responds to Biden criticizing him 75 times! Trump’s not attacking anybody. Trump doesn’t attack. He defends himself. It’s plain as day. Trump will leave you alone. But if you go after him, he’s gonna hit back, and he’s gonna be hit back like Obama: Three times as hard. Obama says, “If they bring a knife, we bring a gun.” You know, Biden attacking Trump, mentioning Trump’s name 71 or 75 times, whatever? Is that all there...

RUSH: By the way, I think probably today they are grateful — don’t misunderstand me here — they are grateful for the helicopter crash yesterday that took attention away, ’cause John Dean bombed. The Jerry Nadler mock impeachment hearing bombed. We have the audio sound bites of that coming up. I mean stop and think about it. Going back 45 years, John Dean, who’s got nothing to do with anything happening today except attempting to stay relevant by sucking up to the media every day in any which way he knows how. That is what saved John Dean. In fact,...

Earlier today on CNN, they had sort of a quasi-town hall with Nancy Pelosi and one of the CNN info guys, Manu Raju, Raju Manu, Mamu Dabango, something like that. The guy was begging her, again, begging her to impeach. And she dropped the hammer. She made it more clear today than she has at any time that there isn’t gonna be any impeachment. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: And I think evidence of it not being good is Pelosi today. I mean, they are disappointed at CNN. The long faces after this. And Pelosi was snarky to this little guy on...

RUSH: One of the reasons that the Democrats hate Donald Trump so much is that he made promises and is keeping them. Now, you may pooh-pooh that, but I’m telling you, folks: I notice everything, and I can’t tell you the number of times in just the past two weeks that I have witnessed Drive-By Media people actually say how stupid, crazy, unusual it is for politicians to actually keep promises. They are acknowledging that promises are nothing more than campaign tricks. They are campaign lies. They are designed to be sold. “Trump did a good job of selling them,...

RUSH: Does anybody but me find it just outrageous that Nadler is calling John Dean up there and that the Drive-Bys are excited about it? (laughing) I’m sorry. Look! “John Dean to Testify on Presidential Obstruction!” What’s he gonna say? “Nixon did it!” How many times have I told you? The only thing these people have is what’s in their playbook from the past. These people on the left cannot innovate. So they’ve gotta replay Watergate here. So they’ve gotta go get John Dean, who’s 81 years old. As far as I know, he has never been in the Trump...

RUSH: It was fascinating. When the media first started reporting on it, they gave it great huzzahs. I mean, they gave it great coverage. They were very positive about it. And then it’s almost like somebody: “Wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, we can’t do this.” And the coverage turned immediately negative. I’m talking about the tariff deal with Mexico that Trump announced on Friday. You ought to go be back — I have ’em here, the original news stories, some of the greatest coverage Trump’s ever gotten. Well, maybe not some of the greatest, but...

RUSH: Sound bite number 1 is a montage of the media unable to go the full day yesterday without ripping Trump. You know, they praised his great speech at Normandy, but then he did the interview with Laura Ingraham and started calling Pelosi insane and a lunatic with the cemetery in the background, and they’re just outraged. We’ll go ahead and play it. This is the Drive-By Media criticizing Trump for ripping Pelosi and Mueller with the Normandy cemetery as the backdrop. AMANDA CARPENTER: You look at the shot (dramatic pause) and what I see, just as an American, is...
