RUSH: Mary in Raleigh, North Carolina. You’re next. It’s great to have you here. CALLER: Yes. Hello, Mr. Limbaugh. RUSH: Hi. CALLER: What an honor. RUSH: Thank you very much. CALLER: As you know, the left is attempting to dismantle and disengage from our country’s magnificent yet sometimes messy history. They’re tearing down Confederate monuments. In fact, just in Durham, 30 minutes away from here in Raleigh, they tore one down recently — RUSH: Yeah, you know what I found out about that? The woman that actually tore that down — CALLER: Is a communist. RUSH: Communist, pro-North Korea activist....

So, essentially seven short months ago, Mr. Trump became the 45th President of the United States of America. CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, HLN, and to some extent now Fox are all trying to take President Trump down. This peculiar phenomenon that appears to be occurring however, is that with each and every attack by the media, hollywood, and leftists the President only appears to get stronger!?! President Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by winning 30 states including states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states that went for obama in 2012 but went for President Trump in 2016 and...

RUSH: Some awesome audio sound bites are coming up, including Cookie found the exchange on CNN I was talking about where some poor Republican was being challenged to condemn practically the sun coming up if it came up over Nazis. “Do you condemn…? Do you condemn…?” “Yes, I condemn, but I also…” “You do! Do you condemn…?” It’s incredible. In fact, the infobabe got so frustrated she told him to shut up and let her talk at one point. It was Kate Bolduan, one of the infobabes at CNN who was devastated that Hillary lost. You realize these people still...

RUSH: Now grab soundbite number four. I want you to listen to a montage we’ve put together of the media digging up a bunch of self-hating Republicans who have to get on this train that the Republican Party’s racist, it’s been racist, and the party had better do something fast. LAWRENCE WILKERSON: My Republican Party has racists all over it. Ever since Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” we’ve had that element to deal with. LARRY KUDLOW: William F. Buckley read the John Birchers out of the conservative movement. Everybody in the Republican Party and the conservative party has to do likewise with...

RUSH: Themes to today’s program, the media is dividing this country and tearing it apart and because of fear of the media way too many on our side are unwilling to stop or even try to explain or oppose this. Identity politics, which we have been focusing on in recent weeks, intensely in recent days, is the primary weapon being used to divide the country. Nothing new about it, but it is reaching new heights. And what is going on is so far from reality that it’s tough to actually make sense of it. mean, here’s one way of looking...

RUSH: I think the mayor of Charlottesville took a page out of the book from the mayor from Baltimore. What was her name? Forget her name. Remember where she said — what was her phrase? Give them space. Give them room so they can get it out of their system, give them space. Look, the police were ordered to stand down in Charlottesville. Somebody wanted that to happen, folks. The police were told to stand down. The police are saying, “No, no, no, no. We were retreating to go get our riot gear.” Well, why didn’t you show up in...

RUSH: I get this note: “Hey, Rush, it’s not the Russia thing. That’s been debunked. It’s now just the get-Trump thing.” Well, the Russia thing has not been debunked. It may be to you and me. Remember last week, ladies and gentlemen, I shared with you this epic piece in The Nation magazine? It was written by Patrick Lawrence. Leftist. And I guarantee you reading this thing just itself was a chore just by virtue of the way the man uses the English language. But he hired an investigative team of forensics to actually look at all the evidence, the...

RUSH: I’ll tell you what else let’s do. Let’s not stop at Robert E. Lee statues. Let’s ban Gone With the Wind. Let’s ban the book, and let’s make sure the movie can no longer be purchased, rented, or exhibited anywhere. We will get rid of not just Robert E. Lee. We’ll tear down anything that tells anybody where Gettysburg is and what happened there. (interruption) Well, now wait. No, Gettysburg will stand. Gettysburg will stand ’cause that’s where they had their lunch handed to them, so Gettysburg will stand. But we’ll go all the way back to Lincoln. We’ll...

RUSH: Folks, get this, there are, today, three separate, huge exposes/stories on the entire Russia/Trump collusion bit. One of them is in The Nation. The Nation is effectively a world communist organization publication. It’s not enough to call The Nation a journal of liberal opinion. These people are extreme leftists. There is a piece at Bloomberg. There are three of them. I’ve got the stack right here. Here’s the upshot: The upshot is, . It might run to 25 pages. The upshot is they don’t believe Trump and the Russians colluded on anything. These are leftists, people who vote for...

RUSH: You’ve gotta hear this, folks, two sound bites. Fox & Friends this morning played this bite of me from yesterday’s show.BEGIN ARCHIVE CLIP RUSH: They have “been worried about Trump going off script for months — and now members of Congress are worried that his blunt and provocative warning to North Korea could lead to war.” What does this mean? It means that wimpism has taken over the Washington establishment, that wussism and wimpism and pajama boyism has taken over. North Korea is a zit on the butt of a pig and there’s no reason to be afraid of...

RUSH: In the last week, ladies and gentlemen, the past week, the United States of America Drive-By Media has spent more time trashing the United States Commander-in-Chief than they have the crazy, lunatic dictator who starves his people and has threatened to drop nukes on the United States. The Drive-By Media has spent more time criticizing and trashing and questioning the fitness for office of Donald Trump than they have the pot-bellied, ludicrous, weird haircut dictator of North Korea. Just think about that, just pause for a moment. Let’s pause for a moment and think, remember politics used to end...

RUSH: There’s a fascinating piece here by F.H. Buckley. F.H. Buckley is a professor at the Scalia Law School at George Mason University, is the author of the book The Way Back: Restoring the Promise of America. He has a great piece here –which I’m not going to get into yet. I’m just setting it up. “How Trump Won, in Two Dimensions.” Let me give you the killer conclusion here: “The sweet spot in American politics…” I love this if this is true. I’ll tell you why I love it. You know Republicans, and you know them — in fact,...

RUSH: On Tuesday afternoon, I interviewed the author and moviemaker, Dinesh D’Souza. He has a new book coming out called The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left. Provocative, obviously: “Exposing the Nazi roots of the American left.” So I chatted with him for the upcoming issue of Limbaugh Letter. What he said… He gave three examples of how his book is true, how the allegation here that the Nazis were able to take cues from the American left.I wanted to share them with you as a prelude to getting into all the rest of the content...

RUSH: Look at this! While I was just going through that riff on the fake news from the New York Times earlier this week on the supposedly shocking report that was only recently released that global warming is already happening… We find out that report’s been public. You could access it on the Web six months ago. Nothing was “suppressed.” Nothing was “secret.” Politico, with a breaking news alert to their subscribers: “2016 Broke Global Temperature Records Again.” It was “the warmest year on the earth’s surface in nearly 150 years of measuring, scientists said today, in an international report...

RUSH: But what started all of this? I want to go back to that. It was a Washington Post story. The Washington Post story genuinely shocked the world. Now, stick with me on this. The Washington Post reported that the Defense Intelligence Agency had concluded that North Korea had successfully produced miniaturized nuclear warheads that could fit inside their missiles, about 60 of them — and that report changed everything. That turned North Korea from a bumbling little potbellied fool into, “Whoa, they’ve got warheads now?” Everybody started changing their focus on this, 180 degrees. But here’s the problem with...

RUSH: We’re being manipulated with fear and fright and it’s unconscionable what’s happening. Now, my next example here is McClatchy News: “Lawmakers Fear Trump’s Tough Talk Could Trigger War.” Lawmakers, members of Congress, the peons. They’ve “been worried about Trump going off script for months, and now members of Congress are worried that his blunt and provocative warning to North Korea could lead to war.” What does this mean? It means that wimpism has taken over the Washington establishment, that wussism and wimpism and pajama boyism has taken over. North Korea is a zit on the butt of a pig...

RUSH: New York magazine. The author of the piece here is a woman named Amy Larocca. Now, based on her last name, what would you guess her hair color is? Dark hair? Now, you probably ask, “Rush, what does that matter? Come on, don’t do this stuff. We defend you all the time and now you’re going to talk about a woman’s looks because of her name?” Yeah, but I’ll tell you why. You want to hear the headline of this story? “>a href=https://www.thecut.com/2017/08/politics-of-blonde-hair-from-persephone-to-ivanka-trump.html>The Politics of Blondness — How Fox News and Donald Trump have given blonde hair a new...

RUSH: Let’s dissect some of this North Korea stuff, because the main thing here is it isn’t new. The North Koreans and their nuclear desires is an old story. For those of you who are Gen X, you might remember the nineties. For those of you who are Millennials, you won’t, and you’re just gonna have to trust me that throughout the nineties, the Clinton administration — 1993 all the way to 2000 — North Korea was, off and on, a top-tier story and precisely about their nuclear ambitions and desires. Throughout that period, throughout two terms of the Clinton...

RUSH: How about Mitch McConnell? Have you heard this? McConnell says… He’s the Senate majority leader, for those of you in Rio Linda. You know, I suspect that people in Rio Linda know this. Mitch McConnell said the reason why they’re not getting anything done is because expectations have been raised way too high, and these artificial time limits, they just don’t work. This is not how legislation gets done. You don’t impose artificial timelines, and then you don’t set these awfully too-high expectations. Senator McConnell, you know, we’ve spoken on the phone many times, and you know I respect...

RUSH: Jerry in Daytona Beach, I’m glad you waited. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello. CALLER: Rush, thank you very much, and I want to let you know that I honestly believe you are often so right so much of the time, and you made a point about the fact that the Democrats pushed Obamacare, and they didn’t have to even read it to vote for it. Because I really, truly believe that they — and I know you’ve made this point. They just wanted the system to implode, so that the next logical step would be everybody throw up...
