RUSH: This is another big story today. “The Trump administration on Monday issued a long-awaited rule strengthening the ability of federal officials to deny green cards to immigrants deemed likely to rely on government aid.” This is going to save somebody that’s never considered in any of this when we talk about illegal immigration, health care for illegals, welfare, education, you name it, the one entity that is never discussed and never talked about is the taxpayer, the American citizen responsible for paying for all of this irresponsibility the Democrats are proposing. And Donald Trump finally is, $57 billion a...

RUSH: Well, the actress Rosanna Arquette tweeted that she’s ashamed to be white, and the singer Taylor Swift is explaining why she didn’t endorse Hillary. Celebrity news ’cause it’s wacko, coming up. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay, let’s look at some of the craziness that is out there. (muttering) And what did I do with…? Have you seen this tweet from Tommy Lee, the drummer for Motley Crue? I got it here. The Rosanna Arquette stuff that I just talked about and something from the HuffPo here. Hang on. Okay, here we go. Now, the headline (this is from PJ Media):...

RUSH: Okay. Let’s get to the audio sound bites of Trump’s impromptu, 38-minute little confab with the Drive-By Media. Again, he was on the way to the Hamptons. He’s got two fundraisers. He was gonna get up there and attend a breakfast at the home of Steve Ross (the owner of the Miami Dolphins) and the other places that came under protest today, SoulCycle and Equinox. They were trying to shame Ross into canceling it because who wants to host a fundraiser for a neo-Nazi white supremacist, and everybody told everybody to go pound sand. Later on, there’s something later...

RUSH: You know, I’ve noticed something that Trump does with these press conferences, and it was hot. It was like 86 degrees when he started. He was out there 38 or 40 minutes. It was 90 degrees when he’s wrapped up and headed to the helicopter. He was sweating profusely but not nervously. Just hot out there. He had sweat dripping down the face; you could see it starting to sweat-stain the dress shirt the president was wearing. But the hair remained intact and did not become helmet hair. It didn’t get wet. The president has that down pat. But...

RUSH: It is upon us. I’ll tell you what. I’m gonna continue the theme that I began yesterday at this very moment, 24 hours ago, essentially saying that — because I’ve got backup now — the support for Donald Trump is actually growing out there, and much of it because of this insanity and lunacy that has taken over. I actually believe… When I see Joe Biden say what he’s saying about Trump doesn’t denounce the KKK when Trump has denounced the KKK, I think… When I see Tim Ryan marching at the Turtle’s house… Get this. These violent protesters...

RUSH: Hey, folks, and welcome to your oasis of sanity. Welcome to your oasis of normalcy. It is the EIB Network and the Rush Limbaugh program, and off we are — off and running, yet another excursion into broadcast excellence. For the next three hours, a respite from the sheer insanity that seems to be taking over and has taken over the Drive-By Media and the entirety of the Democrat Party. The telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882. And the email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. There is a newspaper column today by Michael Goodwin in the...

RUSH: On this program yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, your beloved host issued a prediction. The prediction was, quote, “You watch. Somebody’s gonna suggest Trump’s rallies not be allowed to happen anymore because that’s where all of this white supremacy is coming from. Never mind the fact that if you look at the manifesto of the shooter in Dayton, you find a total deranged leftist progressive.” Even CNN is reporting this today, the derangement of this guy, and they’re not happy having to do it. This guy was in a “porno brand.” (interruption) You didn’t…? He’s just a total, total sicko,...

RUSH: Grab sound bite number 3. This is CNN New Day today. CNN was shamed into reporting the truth about the left-wing views of the Dayton shooter. They sent a reporter to Dayton whose name is Polo Sandoval. Polo Sandoval, they’ve sent to Dayton, Ohio, to basically find out what I told everybody yesterday. All you have to do is look at this guy’s Twitter feed and you find out he’s a left-wing radical wacko. But, see, that didn’t fit the media narrative. (impression) “No, no! This guy, like El Paso, this guy’s a rock-ribbed conservative white supremacist, white nationalist.”...

RUSH: By now you probably have heard about the New York Times headline conspiracy/controversy. If you haven’t, let me bring you up to speed on this. The New York Times, both website and print edition of the paper… I guess… No. This may be web versions. I’ve got screenshots here. I don’t read the printed version of the New York Times, so I’m not sure. Let’s just stick with web version here for this, because it’s for certain. They released a story on Trump’s speech yesterday in which the president condemned white supremacy, he condemned white nationalism, condemned racism in...

RUSH: I have been dreading this today like I dread every such day, but I’m looking at media and I get the impression that there are some that are actually looking forward to this or having — I don’t want to say fun with it, but I get the impression that there are a lot of people really energized by this, and that, of course, is because they think it’s going to help them mobilize their political agenda. And I’m just sick of it. I have to tell you, I’m just sick of it. I’m sick every time one of...

RUSH: We’re gonna be having a little bit more exploration today on Tulsi Gabbard versus Kamala Harris. But just a little teaser here. The state of California has begun to hide the official record of Kamala Harris as attorney general so people cannot go look it up and find out that Tulsi Gabbard is right. Now, folks, these are people that have been turning over every stone and rock looking for mythical information that Trump cheated with Russia. Now the same people demanding all of this transparency are hiding and covering up the official record of Kamala Harris because, despite...

RUSH: Frank Luntz was on Fox after my appearance on Hannity last night. Grab audio sound bite number nine. This is what Frank Luntz had to say. He was on with Laura Ingraham. You know, Frank is a consultant. You may not know this, but a lot of CEOs hire Frank Luntz to come out and tell ’em about marketing strategy and advertising strategy and stuff. Frank goes. He puts his tennis on and goes out there and talks to ’em, and he was reporting to Laura Ingraham’s question on what he’s been telling these CEOs about what he’s been...

RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, I got a note last night. I was not watching the rally. When Fox comes in here to set up, it’s impossible — I mean, the TVs are off, stuff’s in the way of the TVs. I had to say, “Can we put one of the TVs back on?” And so we got it finally back on up there, but it was after most of the coverage of Trump’s rally was over. But that’s okay. No big deal. I got a note while this is going on from a very dear friend who said, “This...

RUSH: I got a couple of emails today and one just now in the break, and it… (sigh) I sensed in Sean Hannity last night… It’s really tough for me because my hearing is what it is, and I can’t see who I’m speaking to. When you’re doing a remote, you can’t. So I don’t see facial expressions. So I might misinterpret. But I think in one of my answers to his question about how to deal with ongoing criticism or how does Trump deal with it or how does Trump break through all this noise, I got the impression...

RUSH: Climate change was a big, big deal last night. I want to go back to January 7, 1992. This is in the days before Fox News, before cable news became something other than CNN. It’s really before massive amounts of conservative talk radio existed. So this is back in the days where I used to be invited on shows like PBS Charlie Rose and so forth, ’cause I was the only national conservative voice they could bring on to try to expose as a kook or humiliate or what have you. Those days are over now. But the reason...

RUSH: You know, you can tell CNN knows that last night was a disaster. You know how I know that? They’re not saying a word about it. They are doing nothing but promoting tonight’s version of the debate with the A-Team. You got Kamala Harris, you’ve got Plugs. Who else we got up there? We got, uh, we got, uh, well, I say the A-Team. It actually isn’t. You got Plugs, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, de Blasio. This is not the A-Team. I’m sorry. There isn’t an A-Team! Last night wasn’t the A-Team either! There isn’t an A-Team. But they’re...

RUSH: We’ll get to the Democrats in a minute. Yeah, I watched it. And, folks, I have to tell you, I sit there and I watch this stuff and I alternately laugh, sometimes uproariously, other times I’m incredulous. I cannot believe it. And then I catch myself and I have to tell myself that 30% of this country believes this garbage that they’re hearing. And that sobers you up. So we’ll get to all of this in a minute. Now, a lot of people have, without credit, of course, picked up on my observation yesterday that Trump could end up...

RUSH: You know who didn’t get mentioned last night? Robert J. Mueller III. The Mueller report? Not a syllable was mentioned of the Mueller report. Robert Mueller himself did not get mentioned. Now, don’t be disappointed. I mean, they’ve got plenty of video for campaign ads. But in the debate where candidates are trying to get the Democrat nomination, the number one issue as far as the Drive-Bys have been concerned the last 2-1/2 years, didn’t even make the debate. Bottom Falls Out of MSNBC Ratings After Mueller Fails to Put Trump in Jail Jul 31, 2019 RUSH: You know...

RUSH: I had a sound bite yesterday and I didn’t get to it and I want to get it done now because it has nothing to do with the debate, but it’s tremendous. Monday night on Fox there was a fill-in host in there, Sandra Smith, and she was talking to a woman named Lynne Patton. Lynne Patton is the regional administrator for HUD, the department of Housing and Urban Development. She is in the Trump administration, and she is African-American, and she is also from the district represented by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The question: “The case is obviously being made...

RUSH: Megan in Baltimore. Great to have you with us. Hi. CALLER: Hi. Thank you so much, Rush, for taking my call. I appreciate it. RUSH: You bet. CALLER: I just wanted to talk to you about the fact that I really hope you’re right that, you know, all this that’s going on between Elijah Cummings and the president results in Baltimore getting cleaned up because it really is… It’s full of really great people, but it is rat infested, like, even the nice parts. I think a lot of people here actually have lived here their whole lives and...
