RUSH: See, I think, despite what you see and read every day in the Drive-By Media, I think Trump won big with Mueller and his hearings. I think Trump won that big time, and I think they all know it. And I think Trump has won Baltimore. I think Trump is winning big on Baltimore. It happens every time. He lures them in. I’m gonna get to this in a minute. Trump is one of the most brilliant marketing and branding agents I have ever seen. I’m gonna point it out here in a mere moment. Trump is winning this...

RUSH: This is really fascinating to watch, if you can watch this with a learned eye, guided by intelligence and experience. I’m talking about Trump and Baltimore and this whole thing. I’m listening to all of these people in the media and all of the Democrats talk about how it is outrageous to say these things that Trump is saying. It’s outrageous to talk about Baltimore the way he’s talking about Baltimore. The AP has a story today that I think is largely fake news. I think they made it up. It’s about suburban women that voted for Trump in...

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, IÂ’ve been telling people, this is what pushback looks like. Ever since Trump was elected, ever since he was inaugurated and began serving, this is what pushback looks like. And it was always going to be filled with friction. It was always going to be filled with controversy, and it always will be. ItÂ’s not gonna die down, at least not in the immediate future. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Trump and Elijah Cummings. This is what pushback is. This was always what it was gonna look like. If there were ever a Republican with the guts to actually...

RUSH: Now, Jerry Nadler has conducted a press conference where he said, “We can’t go any further now unless we see the grand jury materials from the Mueller investigation.” That’s a violation of the law. He’s asking for the law to be broken. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You know, I use metaphors, and I use real-life examples to illustrate in my ongoing efforts (which are largely successful) to persuade. Yesterday, I described the Democrats as being confounded by something they can’t change, and that is reality. The Democrats have become delusional. They’ve become so poisoned with delusion and hate — and...

[full title]DOJ’s Russia probe review focusing on 'smoking gun' tapes of meeting with Trump aide: sources The Justice Department’s internal review of the Russia investigation is zeroing in on transcripts of recordings made by at least one government source who met with former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos overseas in 2016, specifically looking at why certain "exculpatory" material from them was not presented in subsequent applications for surveillance warrants, according to two sources familiar with the review. The sources also said the review is taking a closer look at the actual start date of the original FBI investigation into potential...

RUSH: Hey, hey, folks, there’s another way to look at this debacle yesterday, and it’s this — and let’s keep everything in context. We’re now being told today from Politico and everybody that everybody’s known for a long time that Mueller’s not all there anymore, that he’s feeble, faded away, not mentally able to do what he used to be able to do. It happens to everybody. Not a criticism. My point is, “everybody’s known it.” That’s what they say. That’s what the Drive-Bys say, “Everybody’s known it!” Okay. So why was he there? The answer’s very simple. The Democrats...

RUSH: So now the Drive-By Media is saying the Democrat Party is fractured over impeachment after the Mueller testimony. Folks, they’ve been fractured over impeachment for a long time. Pelosi has never wanted to impeach. The Squad and Nadler and Pencil Neck have. The Democrats haven’t been united on this in a long time. The Mueller testimony yesterday, there are a lot of questions I want to ask based on some media things that I’ve seen. For example, CNN was asking all night and all day today if Mueller was the man for the job. Was Robert J. Mueller the...

RUSH: Now, folks, there’s a couple other things I want to do. I’m gonna go back to the archives here, because I’ve been watching cable news all day. It’s been a very frustrating thing. The Democrats know that there was a gigantic egg laid yesterday. Let’s put it this way: A gigantic Baby Ruth bar showed up in the swimming pool yesterday. They know it. Everybody knows it. So what were they doing today? They were back to the whole concept of how horrible it is that Russia is interfering with our elections and that it continues to this day,...

TODD: The fact is we are living in this twenty-first century new type of asymmetrical media warfare that we’re in. You have a propaganda machine on the right — that’s what it is, is a full-fledged propaganda machine on the right — that the Democrats haven’t figured out how to combat very well yet. ANDREA MITCHELL: And they were warned — TODD: And I think they took the Trump bait, meaning they said, “Oh, yeah? You’re good at TV spectacles? We’re gonna make a TV spectacle!” RUSH: Let me translate this. F. Chuck Todd thinks this has been a disaster...

RUSH: You know, I just saw something here, and… Ha! I’m not sure what I saw, but I’m gonna tell you what I think it is. Devin Nunes is just completing his opening statement after Schiff, little Pencil Neck, chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He’s finished his statement. Devin Nunes just concluded his. It was just perfection. Devin Nunes nailed these guys in describing everything going on: All of the phoniness, all of the fake collusion, all of the illusions the Democrats are trying to create — collusion when there isn’t any, the timeline of how it was gonna be...

RUSH: The first thing I want to play for you is Barr. We’re gonna go back (this is sound bite 22) to May 1st. This is a big deal, folks. This is the evidence that Mueller was just lying repeatedly today when he claimed that the only reason they didn’t come to a decision on obstructing justice, charging Trump with obstruction was the guidelines from the Office of Legal Counsel which say you cannot indict a sitting president. He said, “That’s why we didn’t do it.” Democrats just drilled down on that and drilled down on that. But it’s not...

RUSH: Look, folks, no matter how pathetic or feeble or weak or bad Robert Mueller appears, nobody ought to feel sorry for him. Not a single one of you, not a single person ought to feel sorry for Robert Mueller. This has been a pathetic display today. It is clear and obvious what has been going on. The Democrat Party — led by Jerry Nadler and this committee — has been attempting to maneuver Mueller into saying, essentially, “I was hamstrung by Department of Justice guidelines. I couldn’t get the guy. You have to do it.” That’s what they wanted...

RUSH: Trump is addressing a group of young conservatives. There are some teenagers in there, there’s some 20-year-olds in there. It’s in Washington, D.C. It’s a Turning Point USA event. And he just did something that is classically subtle, brilliant, and indicates that the president does have some really sharp political instincts. We all know that this lunatic — by the way, have you seen the video of Rashida Tlaib when she tried to interrupt Trump’s rally during the campaign in 2016? This was before she was elected. She was insane. She was a lunatic. She was running around in...

RUSH: I don’t know how many of you people noticed this, but this is another great opportunity to illustrate how the weather has become so corrupt politicized in order to push this silly man-made global warming narrative. This is Tuesday. On Sunday, we started getting warnings here in south Florida. “Major tropical depression developing off the coast of Florida.” I started getting alerts on my phone from all of my weather apps. I said, “What the hell is this?” So I went and looked at it. And sure enough, it was a thunderstorm with 30-mile-an-hour winds. And the National Weather...

RUSH: Bernie Sanders. “Bernie Sanders defends how little he’s paying his campaign staff after complaints that they’re not even being paid what his presidential campaign says that people should be paid.” Bernie Sanders is not paying his campaign staff the $15 minimum wage that he is advocating. So Crazy Bernie “defended the pay package on Friday after the Washington Post story highlighted the fact” that Bernie’s being a little bit of a hypocrite, and then Bernie expressed frustration that his employees took their complaints to the media! He said (impression), “It does bother me that people are going outside the...

RUSH: We have the ongoing, back and forth, “You’re a racist.” “No, you’re a racist.” “No, no, I’m not a racist, you’re a racist,” between the president and The Squad, Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In fact, I think the racism thing is actually not working as well for the Democrats as they had hoped because Spartacus is out there, Cory Booker, “Trump is worse than a racist.” Uh-oh. Worse than a racist? How can you be worse than a racist? But if you are, it must be that “racist” just doesn’t have the impact that it once had. Do...

RUSH: What we have coming up this week. Robert Mueller is testifying on Wednesday. And let me give you an idea of what this is about. Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff are on TV this weekend lying. Jerry Nadler went on TV this weekend and said that Mueller found evidence of collusion! And Adam Schiff is out saying that Mueller has named or has essentially identified Trump as an unindicted coconspirator. In what? There aren’t any charges! Nobody has been charged in the Mueller investigation with collusion. Mueller Set to Breathe New Life into the Russia Hoax Jul 22, 2019...

RUSH: All right. I think I figured it out. Well, it’s not that big a deal to figure out, but I think I figured something very important out. And that is this ongoing business of Trump is a racist and the Republicans are racists and the Moon landing was racist, this focus on race, it’s new. I mean, there’s always been the allegation running around, but this is new. This has reached a brand-new level and I think I figured out in part what’s going on. I’ll share it with you as the program unfolds today with examples of what...

RUSH: Another press gaggle at the White House. What do you think the question was? “Mr. President, what’s your reaction to the people who attended your rally who were chanting ‘send her back,’ what’s your reaction?” At some point, do you not say, “Stop this. I’ve answered this question, and you’re just trying to set me up again and again. Screw you. Next question.” How many days has this question been asked now? BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is Tina in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It’s great to have you. I really appreciate your patience, too. CALLER: Thank you...

DOOCY: Well, he joined us last Friday, and it was such a hit, Rush Limbaugh is joining us once again from his headquarters down in Palm Beach. We’re gonna talk about his runaway hit, the Betsy Ross T-shirt, in just a moment. Rush Limbaugh, good morning to you. EARHARDT: Good morning! RUSH: Hey, everybody. Welcome back. Great to be back. It’s always a thrill and an honor. You guys are the president’s favorite show, so it’s a thrill to be here. Thanks for having me back. DOOCY: All right. Well, I heard you talking on your show, Rush, about the...
