Free Republic

RUSH: For starters, you know, they had in impeachment resolution yesterday that was moved forward by Al Green. Now, it got 95 Democrat votes, but 137 Democrats voted against it. Not one Republican voted for it. Even though the Democrats and the media have told us that everybody except Pelosi wants to impeach Trump. That’s what they’ve been telling us. “Oh, the fever, the desire to impeach Trump! We can barely hold the House back.” Well, 137 Democrats voted against it. Now, there’s some people say, “Hey, Rush, don’t sneeze at the fact that 95 voted for it.” There’s a...

RUSH: Okay. A little pop quiz-type question for you, folks, here just to build on the brilliant and salient points advanced by me, your host today. The Democrats and the Drive-By Media are attempting to brand us as racists. Trump is attempting to brand the Squad and the Democrats as anti-American. (interruption) Who is going to win that branding battle, do you think? (interruption) Oh, you think Trump is going to win that branding battle? (interruption) You think…? (interruption) You think Trump has already won the branding battle? You think Trump has won the branding battle big time? Well, I...

RUSH: All right. We’re gonna get straight into this here, the “send her back” business. We’re gonna have wide-ranging set of comments about this. I want to start, grab audio sound bite number 9. This is David “Rodham” Gergen, who was on CNN last night, Anderson Cooper, and the question was: “I’m wondering, as someone who’s worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations, what is it like to see the president on that stage tonight encouraging, or at least allowing the ‘send her home’ chant to grow?” GERGEN: Listen, I think that this may work in a short term for...

RUSH: I want to go back to this program, sound bite number 1. You’ve gotta listen to this. This is me on this program on Monday talking about Trump’s effort to make the squad the face of the Democrat Party. Listen… RUSH ARCHIVE: He wants Pelosi to be forced to accommodate these people. He wants them to become the face of the Democrat Party, and he’s gonna force Pelosi to take action diminishing them, relegating them outsiders. She’s gotta do something or else let this happen. The worst thing in the world… Remember this Axios story with the poll from...

RUSH: Most of you can’t see it because the Drive-By Media is covering it up. Most of you can’t see it because the Drive-By Media is trying to hide it from you. Most of you can’t see it because many in the Drive-By Media don’t see it. And what’s happening out there is that Donald Trump is steamrollering the Democrat Party. Donald Trump — it’s taken four days. It’s taken four days, but everybody’s now catching up to my theory four days ago that all of these tweets about these whack jobs are purposeful, and the intent behind them was...

RUSH: I have people all over the place, “Rush, what is this all about? What is really going on here?” Sometimes the question disappoints me because I would hope that it would be obvious. I think it’s obvious to more and more people what’s going on here, but I will take the opportunity here to explain it in abbreviated form yet again. I’ve had so many people say to me, “You know, Rush, this nothing new. People have been saying ‘love it or leave it’ for I don’t know how long, my whole life.” Remember there used to be all...

RUSH: If Republicans… If Donald Trump, if Republicans follow the advice of the Never Trumpers out there today — if they follow the advice of the Drive-By Media — apologizing for Trump, distancing themselves from Trump, throwing Trump overboard, condemning Trump… If they do any of that, they’re gonna all end up like John Kasich. They’re gonna all end up marginalized like Kasich or McCain or Mitt Romney. Republicans have long pretended that politeness could act as a cover for being afraid, and it still survives to this day. The primary identity of the Never Trumpers is that they are...

RUSH: Okay. It’s time to give you the audio sound bites here. We’re gonna start with some of the sound from the press conference from the four yesterday, The Squad. We’re talking about freshman representative Ilhan Omar, who married her brother illegally to arrive in the United States. But we’re not supposed to mention that because, see, she’s a minority and a woman and they have it so tough anyway. If she had to marry her brother to get in here, it just shows how rotten the country is! See? This is how this works. You can’t criticize that. Plus...

RUSH: Boy, I’ll bet you’ve been waiting for this hour, folks, to find out what’s going on, what to think of things, and how to feel about it, and your patience is about to be rewarded. Great to have you with us as always. It’s a brand-new week of broadcast excellence hosted by me, Rush Limbaugh, a household name in all four corners of the world. It’s a delight to have you here. Our telephone number, 800-282-2882. The e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. It’s going to be real interesting for me today to find out how many of you are mad at...

RUSH: We have audio sound bites coming up — an amazing press conference, impromptu. The president on the White House lawn with more media people than I’ve ever seen at one of these things, and it just went on and on and on. And Trump was even more outrageous and on point than he usually is in this press conference. Acosta was standing right next to him for the entire thing. And the point here was to make it plane that Acosta had made the decision to resign, that Acosta was a great labor secretary, Trump really hates to see...

RUSH: The riff between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pelosi. Trump defended Pelosi today. I defended Pelosi — well, I didn’t actually defend her, but when I was on Fox & Friends I said it’s mildly amusing to watch this internecine battle going on in the Democrat Party. We generally don’t see one Democrat accusing another of being a racist, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did accuse Pelosi of having a bias against newly elected women of color. And Trump came out and defended Pelosi while trashing Paul Ryan. He ripped Paul Ryan apart limb by limb, praised Pelosi as somebody who is not...

RUSH: Holy smokes, folks, Nancy Pelosi’s getting a dose. She is getting some treatment, the kind of treatment we usually get. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is accusing Pelosi of racism. She says Pelosi has a bias and is singling out freshman women of color. And, of course, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes that she is a person of color and that Pelosi is singling her out. The Drive-By Media doesn’t know what to make of this. The Drive-By Media desperately wants Democrat unity. The Drive-By Media has been running the Democrat Party. Do not doubt me on this, folks. The Drive-By Media, I really...

RUSH: Have you seen this story? “Metal Drinking Straw Fatally Impales Women Through Her Eye After a Fall — A retired jockey –” What are you laughing at in there? This is not a laughing matter. There’s a serious effort to save the planet by getting rid of plastic straws. And this woman was only trying to follow the dictates of the climate change crowd. No plastic straws for her. She went out there and got a metal drinking straw to save the planet. This was a noble effort. This woman had bought hook, line, and sinker everything she had...

RUSH: “Christine Blasey Ford scrubbed social media profile before sending letter detailing alleged sexual assault.” As we all knew, there was nothing genuine or real about anything involving Christine Blasey Ford. The whole thing was a manufactured setup that was executed after immense detailed planning and coordination with the Democrat Party. And the truth has been revealed. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So let’s go to from there to America’s number one victim of men, Christine Blasey Ford. The universe the left asks us to occupy with them, on the same day, on one hand we have all of these great female...

RUSH: And so the left has created another victim, converting a genuine champion into a victim, with the willing participation of the victim. And now we got another Trump slayer on the come. Another person the Democrats hope can bring down Donald Trump after an endless parade of people who failed led by Comey and Mueller and you name it, now it’s Megan Rapinoe of the U.S. women’s soccer team who’s gonna bring down Donald Trump. Yes, sir! BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Then I find out here that they have this parade from the Canyon of Heroes in New York for...

RUSH: Man, oh, man, the cynicism is alive and well. I understand it. I understand it. Cynicism may, in fact, make common sense. Snerdley walked in today, “You don’t really think anything is gonna happen to this Epstein guy, do you?” I said, “I don’t know. They seem pretty serious about getting him.” “Come on, Rush, the guy’s a Democrat. It’s the #MeToo movement.” And I said, “Yeah, and look there’s Harvey Weinstein out there.” And Snerdley said, “Yeah, Harvey Weinstein’s still roaming the prairies. Nothing’s really happened to Weinstein yet except a bunch of stuff in the media.” understand...

RUSH: The attorney general William Barr says the Trump administration can legally add a citizenship question to the census. Barr says the Trump administration can legally do that, said he believes the Trump administration can legally add a citizenship question. Three times this is mentioned in the first paragraph of the story. I’ve told you three times ’cause I’m reading right from it. Anyway, despite the fact the Supreme Court ruled against it, “In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said he has been in regular contact with President Trump about the question, which the president is determined to...

RUSH: And here we are, back at it, folks. Great to be with you. After a long Independence Day weekend, Rush Limbaugh back at it here behind the Golden EIB Microphone at the distinguished and prestigious, one-of-a-kind Limbaugh Institute where there are no graduates and no degrees because the learning never ends. Telephone number, 800-282-2882. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. Man, a lot has happened. There was no downtime. The news — and life — does not take any time off anymore, no matter what the week, no matter the weekend, no matter the holiday. And, of course, Americans, as Newt...

RUSH: Let’s go to the audio sound bites. I want to start with me, audio sound bite number 1, June 19th, basically two weeks ago or 2-1/2 weeks ago on this program, talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez… RUSH ARCHIVE: I think this woman gets off on attention. I think this woman gets off tweaking people on our side. I don’t think she means this for a minute. I think she’s just having fun watching people blow up. If she does believe it, then she’s so stupid that there’s nothing to do about it. … I think there is a part of...

RUSH: I have learned since the Democrat debate last week that there’s a lot of people that don’t know what busing was, and it’s, in part, because the Democrats are trying to create a false illusion or a false premise about what busing was. Leading the effort to create a new narrative about it is Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris did not grow up poor. She did not grow up bused to a better school district because where she had to grow up was horrible. She’s the daughter of two PhDs, folks. She is not a child born on the wrong...
