Rush says every week that the Friday show is for whatever the callers want to talk about, us "rank amateurs." The Friday shows seem no different that the Monday-Thursday shows, where Rush talks, we listen and then he usually tries to squeeze in a few calls.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: A fascinating little story here, folks, a column by Chris Cillizza in the Washington Post. It is headlined: "Why No One Should be Surprised that Jay Leno Asked President Obama 'Real' Questions." Now, yesterday on this program, about 24 hours ago, I observed that I think this was the first time in my lifetime that a president of the United States had gone on a late-night comedy show to address the American people about something of potentially great consequence. Shutting down 21 embassies for a week in the Middle East is not an insignificant thing. And I...

Did Valerie Jarrett Issue the Order to Stand Down in Benghazi? August 06, 2013 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There is a somewhat shocking report that I came across today at a website run by Doug Ross. It's called the Conservative Report. Doug Ross maintains here that Valerie Jarrett gave the orders to stand down in Benghazi. Valerie Jarrett, who constitutionally is not in the chain of command and cannot do that. And that's why this, if true, is a bombshell. Valerie Jarrett nixed the raid on bin Laden three separate times, remember, and the adults had to come in and basically...

Valerie Jarrett, Commander in Chief Confidential sources close to Conservative Report have confirmed that Valerie Jarrett was the key decision-maker for the administration, the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack on 9/11/2012. The chronology of the evening of 9/11 are as follows: At approximately 5 PM Washington time, reports came in through secure-channels that Special Mission Benghazi was under attack. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey summoned the President,and briefed him on the crisis, face to face. Subsequent to that brief meeting, President Obama proceeded to the White House to...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT GRETA: Rush Limbaugh On the Record, and you'll hear Rush say things you have never heard him say before. But first, in our one-on-one interview, Rush Limbaugh tells us what he thinks of President Obama's "phony scandal" campaign. BEGIN CLIP GRETA: Let me ask you, talking about the scandals, President Obama says the scandals are phony. Why do you think he says they're phony? Because he believes it, or is there a strategy? RUSH: No, there's a strategy. You know, I've been troubled by something with Obama. You know, I playfully call it the "Regime," 'cause I know...

"Rush 'On the Record': Greta's exclusive sitdown interview with radio talk show icon Rush Limbaugh in an OTR special!.....Talk show radio icon gets personal about balancing career and family in a never-before-seen portion of Greta's interview"

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first day of the 26th year of the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, a network named after the talent and ability of the host. That comment dedicated to all 24- and 25-year-old women. The door just opened (with staff entering). I thought we'd already done everything. It's the 25th anniversary of the Excellence in Broadcasting. August 1st of 1988 is when this program began on a national scale. (Staff singing Happy Anniversary to Rush.) Thank you all very much. Ah, that is a gorgeous looking "macaroni" cake. That is gorgeous. The whole...

Rush limbaugh Greta | Rush Limbaugh joined Greta Van Susteren for the full hour Tuesday night, and Limbaugh spent the first segment of the program bashing President Obama, sharing the "Limbaugh Theorem" for how the president governs, and taking the "slavish media" to task for not holding him accountable. He also had some choice words for Republicans capitulating too much to the Democratic agenda. On the "phony scandals" controversy, Limbaugh admitted he was stunned that the president was able to survive 2012 with the bad economy on his back. He came up with the "Limbaugh theorem" to explain why so...

GRETA: Tonight, Rush Limbaugh goes On the Record. In a rare interview, Rush tells us President Obama likes scandals. Now, our one-hour interview with Rush Limbaugh. Talking about the scandals, President Obama says the scandals are phony. Why do you think he says they're phony? Because he believes it, or is there a strategy? RUSH: No, there's a strategy. You know, I've been troubled by something with Obama. You know, I playfully call it the "Regime," 'cause I know it irritates 'em. But it is, it's like a regime. And I've been troubled, I've been amazed. Here is a man...

First of all, for all of you who do not like Michael Savage, I really don’t give a damn. I like him. Many others on this website do too. You don't like Savage's politics? fine. I think he is wildly entertaining. Hell, he makes my teenagers laugh out loud all of the time. I don’t particularly like Rush or the Wall Banger. So this is not a bash Savage thread. Please do that somewhere else. So here goes....Recently we’ve noticed a bit of a difference in Savage. First, he gets on the Trayvon bandwagon. Note that he doesn’t say Trayvon...

Top Anthony Weiner aide Barbara Morgan apologized yesterday after calling a former campaign intern a “bitch” and “slutbag.” She thought the interview was off the record. Politicker reported: Anthony Weiner’s spokeswoman, Barbara Morgan, issued an apology tonight after a profanity-laced interview with Talking Points Memo, in which she described a former campaign intern as a fame hungry “bitch” and “slutbag” who “sucked” at her job. Ms. Morgan said that she believed the conversation, in which she also threatened to sue the young woman, was off the record.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So, ladies and gentlemen, I just... it hasn't even been an hour yet. I told Greta Van Susteren that I would sit down for an interview with her here in the studio for her Fox television show. She has been asking me for the past week, and I said, "No." And she kept asking, and I said, "No, I don't like television." I said, "No, I don't want to be on TV." And finally I get up at seven in the morning and there are two e-mails from Greta saying, "Please, please." I had to do it,...

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will likely remain giants in the talk-radio industry and simply move to other stations in large markets not affiliated with Cumulus Media, predicted the publisher of an online magazine about the talk-radio marketplace. "All of the hoopla about Rush and Sean's radio careers coming to an end are really coming from political opponents, not from the radio industry," says Talkers.com website editor and publisher Michael Harrison, responding to media accounts in Politico and elsewhere that the radio megastars will be dropped by Cumulus stations at the end of the year. --snip-- Harrison said Cumulus will...

Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh may be setting up shop at new radio stations in the near future. According to a report on Politico.com, Cumulus Media is planning on dropping both talk show hosts at the end of the year. If Cumulus goes through with their plans, that means the nation’s top two conservative radio personalities would be removed from more than 40 stations. The company declined comment to the political website. "Cumulus is not in a position to comment about negotiations with talent under contract, no matter what the rumor of the day might be," a rep said. Sources...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Folks, I got so scared yesterday. You know, my little cat, Punkin, is 16 years old. I got Punkin in 1997. She's Abyssinian and, for most of Punkin's life, I think the breeder that we got Punkin from bred the cats for potential show, and there might have been some inbreeding for purity's sake. I've done a lot of reading about Abyssinians. Punkin's always had urinary tract problems, kidney infections. Her kidneys produce -- as it's been explained to me -- crystals that clog up her urinary tract and make her think she's gotta go to the...

Rush Limbaugh would have sided with the confederacy during the Civil War, according to MSNBC analyst Dorian Warren. Warren, a Columbia professor and fellow at the progressive Roosevelt Institute, explained that Limbaugh “represents the Confederacy. He would have been on that side that went to war around the question of slavery.”

Trayvon Martin‘s friend and witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman trial Rachel Jeantel got an opportunity to respond directly to Rush Limbaugh during an extended interview with Marc Lamont Hill Live Wednesday morning. Despite Limbaugh’s insistence that he now his Jeantel’s permission to say “nigga” with an “a,” Jeantel said the conservative radio host’s comments did “feel racist” to her. In her first major interview since the Zimmerman trial ended, Jeantel explained to Piers Morgan Monday night the difference between “nigger” with an “-er,” which she said is a “racist” word and “nigga” with an “a,” which she...

FULL TITLE - "Nobody Will Go Near Rachel Jeantel's Revelation That Trayvon Martin Inflicted a "Whoop Ass" on George Zimmerman Because He Thought Zimmerman was Gay" BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let me go back to Piers Morgan CNN two nights ago. I keep learning things that Rachel Jeantel said. I didn't hear the interview. I just read about it. The audio sound bites that we heard yesterday are all I've heard. I didn't watch it. Apparently she said something else that's kind of entertaining. This is from Breitbart News. "Prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel, speaking to Piers Morgan on CNN last night,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here it is. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta admit a long-standing error. "There is no benefit in reducing salt." Again, from the Centers for Disease Control: "There is no benefit in reducing salt." They are correcting a long-standing error. These are the kind of stories I just eat up. I just lick these stories like a salt lick. I love these stories. I just love it when conventional wisdom is turned upside down, when the food Nazis are exposed as the deceitful frauds that they are. "A recent report commissioned by the Centers...

For some years I have listened to Rush Limbaugh, and heard him picture Medicare recipients as some sort of ungrateful leaches sucking off of the public dole. He characterizes them as resisting having to pay a dime for their medical coverage. Being a fan of Rush, I have tolerated this misguidance on his part and sent him e-mails [I am 24-7 member] trying to save him from being caught in a 'lie'. He has never responded to these e-mails - for whatever reason. Then yesterday - Monday - he mentioned a story about the Congress considering a bill to make...

My father, Rush H. Limbaugh, Jr., delivered this oft-requested address locally a number of times, but it had never before appeared in print until it was published in The Limbaugh Letter. My dad was renowned for his oratory skills and for his original mind; this speech is, I think, a superb demonstration of both. I will always be grateful to him for instilling in me a passion for the ideas and lives of America's Founders, as well as a deep appreciation for the inspirational power of words, which you will see evidenced here:

I heard Rush mention Free Republic Freepers on his show today. I am not a Rush Subscriber so I cannot post link.

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said on Tuesday that it was "quite telling" that Fox News did not want him to talk at length about his opposition to comprehensive immigration reform during his appearance on Fox and Friends. "Now I told the people at Fox that I wanted to talk about this today three or four times and they wouldn't do it," Limbaugh said on his show after his appearance. "They were not interested in bringing this subject up. I wanted to talk about this in relationship to the current state of the Republican party and they wouldn't do...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here is Bill in Gainesville, Florida.  Bill, I'm glad you waited.  It's great to have you on the program today, sir.  Hello. CALLER:  Hey, Rush, I'm honored.  I think this is a great segue, I hope.  I'm grateful for Mr. O'Keefe.  I'm 53 years old and single. I'm self-employed. I've got a big footprint. I've got six kids that I've raised here in Gainesville, Florida, and the only ability that I feel like I have is my vote, and I wanted to ask you about the birth of the Tea Party. RUSH:  Yeah? CALLER:  I think it...

“There was a group in the 1990′s that were malcontents, renegades, off the mainstream plantation of conservativism…and those are the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic– they were known as 'freepers'…”

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The media is sorta unbalanced today. They are panicking that the prosecution of George Zimmerman is imploding. The media is totally invested in George Zimmerman being convicted as a racist "white Hispanic." They are totally invested, and it looks like the prosecution's case is just imploding -- and, as such, there's panic now. So much so, ladies and gentlemen, so much so that there is now talk and agitating for race riots. Grab audio sound bite number 12. This is last night on ABC News Nightline. The anchor, Dan Abrams, is interviewing Sanford, Florida, police chief Cecil...

Rush Limbaugh just spent about 5 minutes talking about Free Republic as being the forerunner to the TEA Party and a group rejecting the progressive leadership of the Republican Party during the Clinton administration. Very positive.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh is accusing Fox News producers of trying to prevent him from talking about the damage immigration reform would cause to the Republican Party during his appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday.

Full Title: Republican Caller: We Must Sacrifice Principles and Support Amnesty So Marco Rubio Can Appeal to Low-Information Voters BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is Susan, Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello. CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. RUSH: You bet. CALLER: I'm a little nervous here because I'm calling to play the devil's advocate with you, but before I do that I think I should probably give you my credentials. My husband and I were both Goldwater Republicans. He was head of the Goldwater college effort during his presidential campaign, and we...

On Tuesday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh joined the hosts of Fox & Friends for a wide-ranging interview relating to international and domestic political issues. Limbaugh attacked President Barack Obama’s administration’s response to the turmoil in Egypt and the Middle East saying that the White House prefers shaping perception to affecting positive change. He then went after Republicans for focusing on the politics of immigration rather than the Affordable Care Act and noted that it was a real possibility that the GOP could lose the House in 2014.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: John in Westchester, New York. Great to have you on the program, sir, as we head back to the phones. Welcome. CALLER: Hi, Rush. I want to speak to you today about the immigration bill that's going through the House. RUSH: Yeah. CALLER: You've had Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and Obama all telling Republicans that it's such a bad idea for us not to pass it and that we gotta push this through, otherwise we have no shot of getting the White House in 2016. And if that doesn't set up a red flag, that these four knuckleheads...

Get this. A provision in the Senate immigration "reform" bill has a stimulus provision for young people. Now it's not your average, run-of-the-mill Obama cash stimulus. This one would allow the kids to buy Obama-cars. The provision is a payoff -- er, accommodation to secure the vote of Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont. Sanders, it's reported, wants to "help" younger workers who've been hurt by Obama's never-ending Great Recession. So, $1.5 billion is allocated to Americans age 16 to 24 over the next two years. The money will be handed out to states by the Department of Labor....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The European media is beating up our president like you can't believe, folks. The European media is laughing at our president. The European media is drawing contrasts to the Obama that showed up there during 2008 and the Obama that's showing up there today. And they are dumping all over our president. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: By the way, I heard that number was 6,000. I saw a picture. There was no way there were 6,000 people there. They barely had a full house for minor league hockey game. So they've revised the number down to 4,500 at...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We'd like to welcome to the program for the first time, freshman Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, who wants to weigh in on a number of things, including the Gang of Eight immigration bill. Senator, welcome. It's great to have you here, sir. CRUZ: Rush, it's great to be with you. Thank you for your clarion voice for liberty every single day. RUSH: Thank you, sir. We had a great interview with Senator Cruz in the Limbaugh Letter not long ago so I have spoken to him on a previous occasion and, sir, you're the real deal....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Remember Senator Graham, Lindsey Graham? I forget the exact words. We played the sound bite yesterday.  But he basically said -- correct me if I'm wrong, but he essentially said -- that we have to do this because Hispanics hate us and we've gotta show them that we don't hate them.  It's a paraphrase, but his motivation was that. It was on one of the Sunday shows.  His declared motivation for this was the fact that Hispanics hate us. They think we're racists and bigots who don't like them. We hate them, don't want them here. They don't...

On Monday, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh exposed the Republican politicians, donors, and consultants in the permanent political class that want the immigration bill to pass so they can benefit at the expense of American workers. He said "big money" has trumped politics and principles in the push for "amnesty." "I think a number of elected Republicans are taking a look at their donors, and are listening to their consultants, and they are seeing that people that are donating big amounts of money to them want amnesty," Limbaugh said on his show on Monday.

Washington, DC (LiveActionNews) — On his radio show Friday, Rush Limbaugh delivered a powerful monologue (transcript, video) asserting that in addition to its innate monstrousness, abortion is “at the root of our cultural decay” as a nation, its impact stretching from respect for life and personal responsibility to crime, immigration, and the economy: If you use the popularly accepted figure of 1.3 million abortions a year, go back to Roe vs. Wade 1973, 52 million taxpayers haven’t been born, is the way Washington looks at it. They don’t look at it morally. They don’t look at it in any kind...

During his radio show on Friday, Rush Limbaugh told his listeners, “I think abortion is at the root of so much that has and is going wrong in this country.” The conservative host went on to discuss that the reason why amnesty is essential to the liberal agenda is because abortion has, since Roe v. Wade in 1973, wiped out millions of potential taxpayers. The Democrat Party, Limbaugh said, has turned to amnesty as a means to ensure a “permanent underclass” in order to continue its image as the party of big government entitlements.

So a few a days ago Rubio comes out with a proposal for an amendment to ban Obamacare. He really gives us no credit for having any intelligence. If this immigration bill passes Obamacare will be set in stone. The electoral demographics of this country will be fundamentally altered, and in the words of Barack Obama, we will be fundamentally changed as a nation. Unless Lyndsay Graham is right and the illegals will love the Republicans if they help pass this amnesty bill...lol. These guys are so out of touch. If Mitt Romney would have made this an issue, we...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Kansas City. Betty, hi. Welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here. Hello. CALLER: Hi, Rush. I was reading the website, and I think that someone said this yesterday, but I was driving down the road, and you were saying we're just missing something on the amnesty bill, why in the world would Republicans support something that will cause their party to lose in the future. And I was just thinking, well, they'll just become the Democrats -- now, I'm probably being reactionary, but I'm thinking, they'll probably just become the Democrats that they are...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Folks, I can't tell you, I don't even want to have to say this.  This is painful.  Did you hear what Senator Rubio said?  We need to bring the illegals here so that they will pay for the border security that we need.  I know.  I can't tell you, this is painful for me. I'm paraphrasing because I don't have the exact quote, but the immigrants that we legalize, we have to have 'em because they are going to pay for border security, to pay for the fence.  I guess what is meant by that is that...

The Affordable Care Act is So Unaffordable, Members of Congress and Their Aides are Quitting Because They Can't Afford It! BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, this is truly outrageous. There's a headline in The Politico today: "Obamacare? We Were Just Leaving..." And when I saw the headline, I thought it was gonna be an article about how Democrats are afraid of losing their seats because of all the skyrocketing costs of health premiums and all the other negatives associated with Obamacare. But that's not what this story is about. What this story's about is congressmen worried about themselves. In...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is Matt from Miami and it says you are an exec in the telecommunications industry, right? CALLER: Yes, that's right, Rush. Thank you so much. It's been 15 years listening to you, and I'm thrilled that my expertise and your expertise may actually intersect and allow me to make you look good. RUSH: Well, thanks very much. That is the purpose of a caller, and let's hope you can do it. CALLER: Well, first off, I think it's important to think about motivations. Our president, like all the Democratic presidents, would love to be Bill Clinton...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We go to immigration. In a remarkable turn of events, all eight Gang of Eight members voted to table the Grassley amendment, to have control of the border for six months before the amnesty kicks in. And, by the way, don't call it amnesty. It isn't amnesty. That's the latest claim from the powers that be. The Grassley amendment to the Gang of Eight bill simply said we would gain control of the border for six months before any other aspect of the bill -- which is exactly what we were told was supported from the get-go....
