RUSH: A little news here about the White House staffer, Stephen Miller, who we very much admire here. Stephen Miller is the focus of a hit piece here in the Washington Post in, I guess, one of their gossip sections. Apparently, Stephen Miller has had the audacity to buy a $1 million condominium in a stylish, sophisticated Washington area called City Center — and this is unacceptable to the Washington Post. They find blatant hypocrisy. Trump is the man of blue-collar middle class, Donald Trump’s a nationalist and the populist, and here one of Trump’s guys living in a $1...

RUSH: It’s 36 pages. It prints out, on my printer (12-point font) to 36 pages. In a newspaper, 36 pages, and there’s nothing new in it! It’s incredible! It used to take me 25 minutes to mark this up. I finally, for the first time, used side by side on my laptop to do the markup instead of copy and paste. Well, I copied and pasted it but was side by side looking at… (interruption) No, the Washington Post has this incredible story: Obama’s Brave Struggle to Stop Russia from Tampering with Our Election. Not a thing new in it!...

RUSH: Man, oh, man. Rex Tillerson arrives today in Russia on a tiny jet. I couldn’t believe this when I saw it. He shows up in a Boeing 737. Now, I realize he didn’t fly all the way from Washington. There was a G20 meeting somewhere. So it was a short hop to Moscow. But I can’t believe it, a U.S. secretary of state shows up in a puddle jumper jet. Probably to avoid the appearances of grandiosity. There’s nothing wrong with the Boeing 737, but they normally use Boeing 757 or 767s for cabinet officials and the veep. Anyway,...

RUSH: In the LA Times today, how predictable is this? How often have we seen this? The LA Times has a story which purports to be written from the opinion-free middle. It’s a piece of consternation and hand-wringing over the wide gap between the mainstream media and conservative media and their audiences. They’re practically crying in frustration over this division. And the focus of the story is the Susan Rice story. The LA Times says on CNN and CBS and ABC what you have is the entire premise being ridiculed and CNN proudly refusing to even cover it and telling...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There is a bombshell in the WikiLeaks document dump that has been discovered. It has just been made available. Now, to you and me it's a bombshell. I need to qualify. It's not gonna be a bombshell to anybody else. It's not, by the way, anything that you haven't considered. It's just that this is confirmation. What the WikiLeak email dump -- these are the leaked emails of Podesta from the Hillary campaign -- actually via email chains shows the Clinton campaign openly debating in emails how to cover-up the Benghazi emails. It shows them talking about...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: In case you're wondering, I spent a considerable amount of time on the program yesterday reading and analyzing a very long op-ed opinion piece from the Claremont website. It was a piece written anonymously. And I didn't know what to expect. I mean, it was a hard-hitting piece. It was a piece that basically savaged Never Trump conservative intellectuals for not realizing the stakes of this election. How anybody could do anything that would support Hillary had this author beside himself. And he was just lobbing grenades at these people with every paragraph. There hasn't been a...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay. So Huma Abedin has announced that she is separating from the husband, Carlos Danger. Carlos Danger tweeting out photos of himself with a swollen crotch with a child next to him. So Huma says that's enough. Did Huma Abedin Weiner really not know she had a deviant taking care of her child? She may not know what's best for herself, but she apparently knows what's best for Hillary Clinton. I mean, she's in line, she's chief aide now. She's presumably gonna be Hillary's chief of staff. But she has not been chief of her husband's staff,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You remember one of the themes from last week. We had the Trump acceptance speech. That night and the next day there was total unison throughout the media. Is it not fascinating, is it not illustrative how every Drive-By Media outlet -- print, internet, broadcast, radio and television -- every one of them used the same exact terms to describe Trump's speech: dark, foreboding, scary. Every day they illustrate how they are not news. But, more importantly, they are the ones, the left owns dark. The left owns scary. Those are techniques. The left has frightened young...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay, we lit 'em up here on Friday. If you pay any attention to the TV or internet on Saturday, Friday night, all weekend, you know we lit 'em up. Let me ask you a question here, folks. Greetings, by the way, great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, brand-new week, broadcast excellence. It is 800-282-2882. We know that Barack Obama often speculates what kind of man a son of his would be. For example, Barack Obama at one point said that, if he had a son, he would look like the Trayvon Martin, right? We all remember...

RUSH: I'll tell you something else. In addition to all this Trump stuff, it appears like the bottom is falling out of the Hillary Clinton campaign, and there's an ABC News/Washington Post poll that has really, really bad news for Hillary and that they are not reporting. They're trying to mask it and cover it up, so you gotta go out there and you gotta get the actual poll and the cross tabs to see it. 'Cause it's Panic City in a lot of places That's why all this talk about Biden getting in the race is getting some momentum...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, for all of you Democrats who are back on your gun control high horse, I have one word for you: Colorado. You remember what happened in Colorado. Two Democrats thought to be in safe districts were recalled in Colorado over their efforts at renewed gun control on the innocent and the law-abiding. Greetings, my friends, and welcome. Here we are, back at it as promised yesterday, another three hours of broadcast excellence, Rush Limbaugh, behind the Golden EIB Microphone here at the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. The shooting in Washington is...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Tom Brokaw this morning on the Today Show. Savannah Guthrie: "We've been known to hype things in the past here in the media, but this is a very high-stakes moment." What we have here is the media advising Obama on how to bring up Romney's 47% comment. BROKAW: The president can take a playbook page from what Vice President Biden did the other night in one answer talking about 47%. Where are your tax returns? We're gonna cut taxes for middle class, and if you're making more than a million dollars a year you're gonna raise taxes....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: A little statistic for you. Since the beginning of 2012 -- we're almost now to August, so we've got seven months in, pretty much seven months in. Since the start of 2012, the death count in Chicago is 274. In seven months, the death count in Chicago, 274. They have some of the strictest gun laws in the country, just as they do in Colorado. You know, all of us have certain traits that reflect upon our character, and when those characteristics, when those traits cluster in a manner that causes a person to function in a...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Have you heard this new movie, the Batman movie, what is it, The Dark Knight Lights Up or whatever the name is. That's right, Dark Knight Rises. Lights Up, same thing. Do you know the name of the villain in this movie? Bane. The villain in The Dark Knight Rises is named Bane, B-a-n-e. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran and around which there's now this make-believe controversy? Bain. The movie has been in the works for a long time. The release date's been known, summer 2012 for a long time....

RUSH: Tax returns, is Romney a felon, and, you know, the interesting thing is that out there, where you live, nobody cares. Nobody cares about Romney and Bain Capital, at least in terms of whether or not he was a felon. Nobody cares about the villain in the movie Batman being named Bane. Nobody cares about Romney's tax returns. Nobody cares what Obamacare is about. In fact, this country is standing up in outrage over what Obama said. And by the way, you Democrats are trying to tell us that we took him out of context. They're doubling down on...

>BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, a friend of this program passed away, William Raspberry. He was a longtime columnist for the Washington Post. He passed away at age 76, and he's survived by his mother, who is 104. He also has a couple kids and his wife of 45 years. But he's survived by his mother, 104 years old. William Raspberry in 1993, very famous columnist for the Washington Post and very famous, highly respected liberal, he was one of the last of the breed of liberals that could still be reasoned with. You can't reason with liberals....

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here's Stevie in Birmingham, Michigan. Stevie, I'm glad you called. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello. CALLER: Hello, Mr. Limbaugh! Thank you. So, I heard you talking about how the public schools are brainwashing kids. And an example is we had a speaker come in a few months ago, and he was talking about how coal is evil and dirty. RUSH: Stevie? CALLER: So -- RUSH: Stevie, how old are you? CALLER: I'm 12. RUSH: You're 12 years old. Well, welcome to the program. It's nice to have you listen today. CALLER: Thank you, sir. RUSH: Who...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Barack Obama yesterday or the day before maybe (the days run together) gutted warfare reform. He just wrote it out of existence. He wrote out the work requirements for welfare. It's gone, with an executive command to Health and Human Services, Department of Labor, and whatever departments. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yesterday the Obama administration issued a new directive stating that the traditional work requirements of the new welfare reform law back in 1996, those new work requirements, can be waived or overridden by a legal device called a waiver authority under the Social Security law. Welfare reform...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Hey, folks, have you seen the economic news today? Have you heard about the unemployment numbers today? (laughing) Gross domestic product, have you heard about any of that? Because I have it here, and it sucks. It's a disaster. The economy of this country remains a disaster. And we, the American people, have just been deceived in ways that nobody contemplated. And what we now have is the biggest tax increase in the history of the world. What we have been told by the chief justice of the Supreme Court and four liberals on the court: Obamacare...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Jerry Sandusky guilty on Friday night. They took him to jail. Did you hear what happened in jail? They sequestered him in the sexual pervert wing, but it was within earshot of the rest of the prisoners. And the rest of the prisoners had a song for him. In fact, I'm not gonna tell you what the song is. I'm gonna see if we have it on the Prophet System. We'll take a break and if we have it I'll come back and play it, 'cause the inmates sang a song for him once he got there....
