Rush Limbaugh was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians in 2012 in Jefferson City, Mo.Credit Julie Smith/Associated Press The conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who has a substantial following among grass-roots Republicans, came to the defense of Donald J. Trump on Monday as prominent leaders in...

RUSH: As I knew we could, we've gone back to the archives, the Grooveyard of Forgotten Sound Bites, and we have from 2007 the opening of the bit that parodies exactly what's happening in the Drive-By Media this moment, today and last night. This is on the Fox News Channel's 1/2 Hour News Hour. By the way, I starred in a number of episodes of this program, as president of the United States, as myself, it was a lot of fun. But, anyway, this is from the pilot episode, episode number one. It's 2007. FEMALE ANCHOR: Six men have just...

RUSH: Sadly, ladies and gentlemen -- portions of yet another heavy, heavy portion of the program as far as what we learned yesterday about Planned Parenthood selling harvested body parts from the aborted babies that they kill. I'm shocked. I really am shocked. There's all kinds of people on our side just astounded that, A, the media hasn't covered it. They are astounded that Planned Parenthood supporters are still Planned Parenthood supporters. Really? I can't emphasize this enough. The story was such yesterday, I think a lot of people thought that this was gonna be such a story, the left...

RUSH: This is Charles in Martha's Vineyard. Welcome, sir. It's great to have you with us. CALLER: Hello. How are you? RUSH: I'm fine, sir. Thank you for the call. CALLER: Thanks. I'd like to just mention that I know you can knock down this deal as much as you want, but at the same time it does give the United States the means to at least have some check on Iran. You know, just, uhhh... The system before with no deal didn't give us anything like it. RUSH: Well, this is essentially no deal, because there's no check. I...

RUSH: Big deal about the Confederate flag coming down. It happened just... I think it was just after 10 this morning or just after 9, something like that. It's just the beginning. As I have said countless times over the course of this amazing broadcast career that spans now 26 years: A liberal solution to a problem is never the end of anything. There are never liberal solutions. A liberal solution is actually the beginning of a new problem or a continuation of an existing problem. But they never solve anything. The reason they never solve anything is because they're...

RUSH: Have you heard about MTV? Have you heard about this? MTV has hired, I guess, a renowned illegal immigrant by the name of Jose Vargas Sanchez Gutierrez, whatever. MTV is doing a documentary that essentially is devoted to the problems with white people, and this guy specifically interviews young white people and asks them what's wrong with them and how it feels to be white. What "white privilege" has meant to the country and means to them, white guilt and all this. MTV, of course, is a network... I don't know how popular it remains anymore. It was. At...

RUSH: Have you heard this? By the way, it's true. It is being said that gay marriage is superior to heterosexual marriage. I can't believe we're even using language that signifies the difference, but, anyways, we have to. The militant gay community says that gay marriage is superior because they get to pick their children via adoption. Therefore, they -- having chosen the exact kind of child they want-- have a much better chance at raising that child than a hetero couple who simply have to deal with whatever the sperm and the egg produce. Do not doubt me on...

RUSH: Donald Trump continues to dominate the news and the news cycle. He is not backing down. Yesterday we got the news. You know, it's amazing to witness cowardice. It's all over the place. Emmitt Smith was a judge in one of Trump's beauty pageants. I guess it was Miss USA. Emmitt pulled out. Says he doesn't want to be associated with any of this stuff. Trump said, "Who needs Emmitt Smith? Judges are easy. I'll go get another." (laughing) You just got to love this. (imitating Trump) "Who needs Emmitt Smith? He's a loser anyway. He isn't a big...

RUSH: Now, obviously I can't play video here. We can link to it at RushLimbaugh.com, which we will. I could play the audio, but the audio alone is not good enough because it will not supply you the pictures. I, as a highly trained broadcast specialist, can do a better job conveying this video, describing it to you, than just playing the audio. Our buddies at Campus Reform shot it. I don't know where this is. It looks like it's in a park across from the White House, but I don't really know where it took place. It doesn't matter...

Yesterday ISIS released video of their latest execution techniques. In one scene the Islamic State strapped a string of bombs around the necks of a line of prisoners – then blew them up. Today Rush Limbaugh explained how the left sees conservatives as more of a threat than the Islamic State. From the Rush Limbaugh Show: RUSH: Now, isn’t it interesting, however, what is the one thing, when you read about ISIS in news coverage in this country, ISIS can run around — the latest news of ISIS is the methods they’re now using to kill people, mass murders. For...

RUSH: I wish somebody would ban all of the stuff from Club Gitmo. Can you imagine the license merchandise sales that I could rack up? They ban the Confederate flag and everybody matches it, says, "We're not gonna sell it! We're not gonna sell it!" Walmart, everybody getting out of the Confederate flag business, NASCAR, and yet some enterprising entrepreneurs are saying, "Well, hell, we'll sell it." There's a market for it and people are buying it up left and right. I made a prediction yesterday on this program that The Politico actually writes a story about and got it...

RUSH: We have learned a little bit more about Dylann Roof, and it may mean that such venerable institutions as Budweiser and Seagram's may be called into question here, because, as you know, anything that has to do with Dylann Roof has now been labeled racist and racist, racism, and all other kinds of horrors, such as the Confederate flag and anything with the flag on it. We are in a race to rid our society of all of it, are we not? Well, it seems that the UK Daily Mail has been doing some journalism, a random act of...

RUSH: The 13th Republican to announce his running for president is Bobby Jindal. Bobby Jindal made it official. That means he's number 13. Scott Walker has not announced yet, but he will. I mean, I'm assuming so. And right on schedule, right on schedule, the Washington Post -- ready for this? -- had a story, I think it was yesterday, or maybe I read about it yesterday that it was gonna be published today, either one, the Washington Post with the story that Bobby Jindal is not any longer an authentic Indian. He's not brown enough. But he has failed...

RUSH: Okay, let's go to the audio sound bites, and that's CNN today. Again, look, I guess all this is occurring under an umbrella or a single theme today here, folks. And, you know, it was a throwaway comment yesterday, all this focus on the Confederate flag and trying to put this in perspective and tell everybody what the real focus is, which is not the flag, but everything the left wants you to think that flag represents. It's about a way of life. It's about political conservatives. It's about the Republican Party. It's about wiping them out. It is...

RUSH: We're here doing everything we can on the EIB Network to bring as much joy, pleasure, and upbeat, positive feelings to you and your day. I know you might think, "Do you really think you're doing that with the stuff you're covering here?" Yeah, I do, folks, because I think it helps to be on top of this stuff. I think it helps to know what's coming. This is gonna bottom out. At some point, I have no doubt we're gonna reach a bottom. We always have. This country's gone leftist before with FDR, with Woodrow Wilson. Now, there's...

It is stunning what is happening to the Democrat Party! There is no Democrat Party of JFK or LBJ anymore. There is no Democrat Party of the old warhorse Robert Strauss. The Democrat Party today is Bernie Sanders! Do you know Bernie Sanders is drawing bigger crowds than Hillary Clinton? Bernie Sanders has got more excitement in Hollywood than Hillary Clinton has ever had! Bernie Sanders is getting standing ovations in Colorado. I'm telling you, the Democrat Party is no longer what you often associate with the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party has gone full-on -- call it what you...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, Cardinal... I'm not even sure how to pronounce his name. I did not see the episode. We'll hear the sound bite in just a moment. Cardinal Wuerl. W-u-e-r-l. You know the Fox News people called us on Friday and asked to use a clip from this program from earlier in the week. I said, "Yeah, yeah. It's not the best clip, by the way. I mean, I said a lot of things later in the week that added to that, made it even better." They said, "No, no! this is exactly what...

Neil Peart, the drummer behind the band Rush, has made it known that, as a “bleeding-heart libertarian,” he encourages people to support Democrats. […] Rolling Stone notes that Peart's newfound beliefs appear to prioritize the “bleeding-heart” aspect over the “libertarian” one. Speaking of the libertarian-oriented Senator Rand Paul, a 2016 presidential candidate, Peart allegedly told Rolling Stone it is “very obvious” that Paul "hates women and brown people.” […] Peart, who recently became a United States citizen, told Rolling Stone, “For a person of my sensibility, you’re only left with the Democratic party.” …

The Washington Free Beacon has the story. Actually, a lot of different websites have the story. "Clinton Foundation Head Accused Clintons of 'Paranoia'." Look, I'm going to have to do this story in stages. There's no way I can do this in one segment getting all the audio sound bites in with it. But I do want to get started on this because I'm already factoring in mixing telephone calls and everything for a properly and well-balanced program, as only a highly trained broadcast specialist could execute without a producer. Oh, speaking of, folks, look. I'm sorry. This is inside...

RUSH: Well, we knew it was gonna happen, everything we knew was gonna happen, everything we predicted that was gonna happen is happening with the pope. And everything we predicted is gonna happen with Trump is happening. Some things we didn't predict about Rachel Dolezal, because who could? And they are happening, too. What an interval. What a wonderful interval. This country needs a break from the absolute sadness, depression, and downward spiral just for some laughs and we're all getting it, except there's a bunch of people out there trying to put you on a guilt trip if you're...
