RUSH: The Democrats are trying to connect Trump to the ongoing so-called failure of getting aid and relief to Puerto Rico. And that’s gonna bomb. You know, it’s starting to happen. Actually, I think it’s been happening for a while. The left does not innovate. The Democrat Party, let me specify it. The Democrat Party does not innovate. They don’t have any innovators, and they don’t have any forward thinkers. If the Democrat Party produced a smartphone, it would still be 30 years old. And the only thing that would change in it is the numbers of people that you...

HANNITY: Welcome back to Hannity tonight reporting from Florida. Radio legend Rush Limbaugh sat down with me earlier today for an exclusive one-on-one interview from his studio in Florida. We started talking about the Republican Party. HANNITY: You don’t do a lot of TV interviews, right? RUSH: I don’t. I don’t. I’m totally satisfied with radio, and I want for nothing, I love it so much. But this is special. ‘Cause, Sean, I’ll tell you something: The reason America is still America is in this room. HANNITY: You mean the camera people and you? RUSH: All of us. But you...

RUSH: Another interesting story here from Real Clear Politics: “Political Campaigning May Be Mostly Pointless.” What do you think this story is? Snerdley, you’re highly tuned to this kind of stuff. If you see that headline, “Political Campaigning May Be Mostly Pointless,” what’s this story about? It is about the fact that Hillary Clinton spent more money than anybody spent in the campaign and it didn’t get her a single vote, that Donald Trump didn’t spend a dime, and he won. And so, again, this is the political establishment being flipped upside down. Money has always equaled victory. Whoever had...

RUSH: The earned income tax credit. I did some checking during the break. I can’t find anything on it. It’s not mentioned. USA Today says that it remains but is untouched. But other sources… The Washington Post says that top Republican officials haven’t decided to do with earned income tax credit. Do you know what that is, folks? The earned income tax credit is a way of assuming poor people earn money. You just assume they earn money and the amount is based on a formula, “the earned income.” And then they get a credit on what their taxes would...

RUSH: First is the tax plan. And I’m gonna tell you right off the bat I have watched some cable news last night and today ’cause I broke my promise to myself. I wanted to see what was said about it, and it is incredible. And I want to tell you that if you’re watching any of the three networks or CNN or MSNBC, do not believe what you’re hearing. It is not trickle-down. It doesn’t even come close to trickle-down. It does not benefit the rich. It does not punish the middle class or the poor. It doesn’t do...

RUSH: What I was done be gonna said (sic) about the NFL is that — we got the audio sound bites coming up — everybody now is saying, “This isn’t about the flag! This isn’t about the police brutality! This isn’t…” Oh, yes, it is! And if they don’t know that’s what it is, then it proves my point. They’re a bunch of tools. I’ve told everybody what this is all about from the get-go, starting with the focus on concussions. This is an effort by the American left to damage — severely damage — the NFL. The NFL is...
-
RUSH: We’ve got that. We got the Republican tax plan that was introduced. One thing about these tax plans. You know, it’s okay to have a reaction, and this clearly deserves one, but what they put forth in the early stages is never what they end up voting on. This is gonna go through a whole bunch of changes and other things. And it may never get to a vote like Obamacare. You have to realize what we’re talking about. We’re talking about people who don’t want to really do anything on taxes. They’re forced to make it look like...

RUSH: Well, this is not gonna make my buddy happy. I just had a news alert here from the Wall Street Journal: “Republican Tax Plan to Allow for Top Individual Rate Above 35%.†Right now, it’s 39.6%, and when my buddy learned that it might be lowered to 35%, he was… Ah, he was okay, but it was not what he was expecting. It’s not what he thought Trump was gonna do. Now when he finds this out, it’s not gonna be pretty. I’m gonna hear about it. “Republican Tax…†I haven’t had anything to do with it, but I’m...

RUSH: This will be a great opportunity to delve into the Walter Williams column that I referred to earlier. It’s got nothing to do with the NFL. I mean, that’s not why he wrote it. It comes from way back on September 20th, about a week ago, and the title of his column… Where did this run? The link is so tiny, I can’t read it. It looks like the Daily Signal. “The Black Family Is Struggling, and It’s Not Because of Slavery.” Now, Walter Williams is a former guest host here. He’s brilliant guy, very conservative individual. Let me...

RUSH: Here we are back at it again, folks. It’s so great to have you here. Always is, and we’re happy to welcome Mr. Snerdley back who was away at an NFL protest over the weekend. I’m just kidding. Just kidding. But we’re here. We’ve got it ready to go, locked and loaded, as they say. The telephone number is 800-282-2882. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. A famous National Football League television person sent me an email: “I share so much of your sentiment. So much of the enjoyment’s been sucked out of it. Any chance this ever ends?” That’s the...
-
RUSH: I want to share with you first the way all of this affected me, because in many ways I think that I am fairly typical. I am smack-dab in the middle of the targeted marketing the NFL does to acquire and hold an audience, right smack-dab in the middle of it. And I have to tell you, I was so sad Sunday morning when all of this started falling out. But if you’ll permit me first, I was personally saddened. I did not watch the National Football League yesterday, and it was the first time in 45 years that...

RUSH: Samantha Power has been unmasking Americans in the last year of the Obama Regime at the rate of one American every working day. Two-hundred-and-sixty different Americans unmasked by someone not even in the intelligence community. She was a U.N. ambassador. It would be the equivalent of Nikki Haley today unmasking a bunch of people that she thought not — Now, I don’t know that too many people know much about Samantha Power. Do you remember my in-depth explanation of the Washington establishment yesterday? She is it. She is a superiorist. She is a supremacist. She is a DNA socialist....

RUSH: Meanwhile, while all this is going on, Donald Trump is kicking ass. I’m sorry. Kicking butt. While all of this is going on, Donald Trump is triumphing. The Wall Street Journal has — we touched on an aspect of the poll yesterday. There are more internals in the poll out today. But, you know, there’s a bunch of favorable views now on what Trump did with Chuck and Nancy and DACA, based on what happened to Pelosi. Remember when Trump did the Chuck and Nancy deal and agreed to kick the debt limit issue down the road three months...

RUSH: “Manafort Calls On DOJ To Release His Intercepted Communications With Foreigner — Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort is calling on the Justice Department to release transcripts of any intercepted communications he may have had with foreigners. ‘Mr. Manafort requests that the Department of Justice release any intercepts involving him and any non-Americans so interested parties can come to the same conclusion as the DOJ — there is nothing there.'” You know, this whole thing, the investigation of Flynn, the investigation into collusion with Russia, the special counsel now, as I mentioned earlier in the program, people that are...

RUSH: AP: “Trump Insists on America First. Who Will Follow?” Let me tell you something about this America first. What do you think Trump means by it? (interruption) Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does. But it’s not just that. I actually heard Trump explain this and some people in Trump’s administration explain this. Fox has this analyst that appears on some of the shows. She worked in the National Security Council. She’s on the staff I think for Obama. And she was talking about this, and she had heard exactly what I heard. And what Trump means by this, America first,...

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has once again shown he is not on the 'America First' Trump train. During Trump's address to the United Nations multiple photos show John Kelly visibly distressed and upset. Meet John Kelly, the last person on planet earth who still gets surprised by Donald Trump's erratic behavior. pic.twitter.com/kvfCeMyntY — Adam Best (@adamcbest) September 19, 2017 The second of AP's Pained John Kelly photos was taken as Trump correctly said Iranian money helps prop up Assad. pic.twitter.com/nFcLy0o6vK — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 19, 2017 John Kelly Listens to Trump: A Series pic.twitter.com/iDRq8TiuVc — Tasneem...

RUSH: You know, Pelosi’s press conference, DACA press conference was overtaken, it was swarmed yesterday. Grab sound bite number 17. We have just a bit of how it — now, these are people that Pelosi thinks are on her side in this. PELOSI: For a long time we’ve been fighting the fight for the DREAMers. UNIDENTIFIED MALE PROTESTER: We’re not DREAMers! Dreamers' confront Pelosi over Trump negotiationsCROWD: We’re not DREAMers! We’re not DREAMers! We’re not DREAMers! UNIDENTIFIED MALE PROTESTER: All 11 million! UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE PROTESTER: All 11 million! PELOSI: Do you want to — do you want to hear an...

RUSH: So last night, Anderson Cooper 360 spoke with David Rodham Gergen about the New York Times report that federal agents wiretapped Manafort. And during the discussion, Cooper and Gergen have this little exchange. COOPER: I assume he could now say, “Well, look, you know, there was some wiretapping going on.” GERGEN: There… (laughing). Well, there was wiretapping under a federal court order, I mean, federal court of approval. And with top Justice Department officials and his own Justice Department it appears may be since the Obama team, that — that okay, we’ll have to — to wait and see....

RUSH: Then we go to Trump’s United Nations speech today, which was unlike any speech at the United Nations we have ever heard an American president give. John Bolton says this is the speech of Trump’s presidency. It is the speech of his political career. It was bold, and it left no doubts. He stood up for America first. And he put the United Nations in its place. I’m sitting here, and I’m diligently doing show prep. I’m totally absorbed in what I’m doing, the Trump speech is on, and I’m listening out of the corner of my ear. And...

RUSH: There is a story today in The Politico. “Teflon Don Confounds Democrats — Democrats have attacked the president every which way, but polling and focus groups show none of it’s working.” None of it! In addition, Rasmussen has just come out with a poll. I printed it out here (shuffling paper) and guess what? A majority, most voters… Not Trump supporters; they’re in this, but this is a sample of most voters. “Most Voters Welcome Trump’s Outreach to Congressional Democrats.” Now, the conventional wisdom is that Trump’s hurting himself, that Trump’s base, who are they? If you believe the...
