RUSH: Man, oh, man. How do we outdo yesterday’s program? I’m not sure I can top it. And, folks, I have to tell you, I was… I shouldn’t admit this, but I had more butterflies than usual starting about two hours before the program because I’m so uncomfortable. I really am. I’m uncomfortable bringing the focus on me. I have no problem when other people do it, I just… (sigh) Yet I’m aware what a lot of people think. Thirty years is a significant achievement. So it was… (exhale) It was pressure packed, and it turned out better than I...

RUSH: The big news of the day today, I think, is two things. One is the president and his urging of the attorney general to end the Russia probe, to basically tell Mueller to shut it up. Now, what’s interesting about this is the president could do this himself in a sense. I’m not talking about firing Mueller. But he could declassify everything that we still don’t know about the origins of this investigation and the details. He still chooses not to do it, and the best-guess reason for that is the avoidance of a charge of obstruction of justice....

In honor of the Rush Limbaugh Show reaching 30 years old today, I would like Freepers to post and collect their memories. Memories of when they first listened to the Rush Limbaugh Show, and why you kept on listening to it. I'll start... It was 1993. Bill Clinton was elected and he was on television, and the radio discussing his budget. He was talking about all the great plans that he had to remove man from space, end the "boondoggle" of the "Freedom " space station, and mothball the space shuttles so the money could be used "for the children"....

RUSH: So I have this note on the call screener computer: “On the hotline…” We don’t have a hotline. “On the hotline, you’re receiving a phone call in recognition of your anniversary broadcast. You’ll want to take this immediately.” Okay. So we’re going to the phones and we have a special guest. Who is it? THE PRESIDENT: So, Rush, I just wanted to congratulate you on 30 years.RUSH: (laughing)THE PRESIDENT: This is your favorite president, and I think you are fantastic.RUSH: (laughing)THE PRESIDENT: I heard about it, and today’s the big day, 30 years. I wanted to call personally and...

President Trump made an unexpected phone call into conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh's show on Wednesday, where the two men focused almost exclusively on Trump's accomplishments in the face of some opposition. "You have a lot of bad people in Washington," Trump said. "You knew that a long time ago. Frankly, before I knew it. "I had no idea how evil some of them are, but you have a lot of great people too," he continued. "And outside of Washington you have the greatest people in the world." Trump called into Limbaugh's show to congratulate the host on his...

President Trump suggested Wednesday that a government shutdown would help Republicans ahead of the midterm elections in November, adding that he would take the step if necessary to see his plan for a border wall come to fruition. In an interview with conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the president called the issue of shutting down the government over obtaining funding for his border security program a "great campaign issue." "I actually think it would be a positive," Trump said Wednesday. "It's like pulling teeth, getting these guys [lawmakers] to get it done. And you have no idea how tough...

RUSH: Here is John in Rochester, New York. Great that you called. Glad you waited, sir. Hello. CALLER: Hello, Rush. It’s an honor and a pleasure to speak with you. I’m gonna get right to the point. It seems to me that you’re about to end the last show of your 30th year and nothing has been said about it yet. So I want to be the one who congratulates you and thanks you on behalf legions of Dittoheads and our Rush Babies like my children. You have meant so much to me. I’ve listened to you since you started,...

"Rush Limbaugh is a great guy who truly gets it!" President Trump tweeted early Tuesday morning. The president made the comment one day after Limbaugh explained to his radio listeners why Trump said in a July 29 tweet: "I would be willing to 'shut down' government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!"

Rush Limbaugh is a great guy who truly gets it! 6:50 AM - 31 Jul 2018

RUSH: I’m sorry. I’ve gotta deal with something CNN has been doing the past couple of days, CNN and the Drive-By Media. And it’s time to once again interject a little common sense here. As I’m sure you know, CNN has been breathlessly reporting that Michael Cohen, all these tapes with Trump and Trump said all these incriminating things and then that Michael Cohen said that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting that his son took with the Russian honey pot and all of that and that Trump has denied knowing anything. By the way, Cohen doesn’t have any...

Sorry for the vanity but Rush did a 180 on trade today and I am proud of him. Rush confessed he was wrong all of these decades about trade, live on air just a few minutes ago! He also admitted Perot was correct and the the one sided trade the US( and its workers ) have been subjected to was wrong and it was erroneously pawned off as 'free trade'. He said he was duped by economists. I just listened in amazement committing free trade heresy live. It was a great radio show today! Awesome! Rush is off my S...

RUSH: I’d like to remind you what happened October 19, 2016. This is from the archives of the apoplectic and failing New York Times. You remember what happened on October 19, 2016? If you don’t, I’ll remind you. It was a debate. It was a debate between Trump and Hillary. Trump was asked a question by Chris Wallace of Fox News. (paraphrased exchange) “Mr. Trump, will you accept the results of the election if you lose? Will you concede?” and Trump said, “Nope. I’m not gonna tell you tonight that I’ll concede the election. I’m not gonna tell you what...

RUSH: Many things have become self-evident since we were last together, ladies and gentlemen. I am here to point them out to you. Although many of you are very smart and have probably figured this stuff out on your own, you no doubt enjoy hearing me say it because it validates what you already think. Greetings and welcome. Another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence is up and at ’em. Telephone number, if you want to join us, is 800-282-2882. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. Okay. So on a not-much-going-on Saturday — normally document dumps occur on Friday, but this one happened...

RUSH: Mark in Fort Worth, Texas, is next, and it’s your turn. Hello. CALLER: Hello, Rush. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to make the host look good this afternoon. I wanted to take events of the last 72 hours and dovetail them with what you’ve been preaching to us for about the last two years, and that is that the media’s number one priority is separating Trump voters from Trump. In the last 72 hours, the cacophony from the left and the media has been so outrageous in part because I think the Kavanaugh decision, along...

RUSH: Okay, back to this Axios poll. It’s a poll they took with SurveyMonkey, which is a credible bunch. They have a bar, Monkey Bar in New York, SurveyMonkey, same people. You knew that, right? “Brutal poll.” No, I’m making it up. People may not know when I’m kidding. I have to admit when I’m kidding more than ever today. “Democrats’ Senate Dream Slips Away.” They never had a realistic opportunity of taking the Senate. You know, this is another illustration. Ever since election night 2016 when Trump won, the whole mantra has been illegitimate, people don’t really mean this,...

Friday on his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh advised his listens to ignore the media hype because President Donald Trump is tapping into voters concerns about immigration. Partial transcript as follows (courtesy of RushLimbaugh.com): LIMBAUGH: Let me run through these immigration numbers again. Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Tyler Houlton said in a statement, ‘Following the implementation of the administration’s zero-tolerance policy, the June 2018 Southwest Border Migration numbers declined by 18% when compared to the previous month,’ This is, of course, illegal immigrants attempting to get in the country in the southwest border down 18% because of...

Can someone post the Rush Limbaugh transcript for today’s show, 2nd hour 20 min. mark regarding the subject ‘We’re America B*tch!’? It was roughly 10 min. long and hilarious. The premise: a Trump hating journalist is asking everyone, ‘What is the Trump doctrine?’ while speculating on why there is NO doctrine. Finally he stumbles upon a WH aid who answers, We’re America B*tch! I’ve seen other articles referencing the phrase, but the way Rush built up the story with the classic punch line had me in stitches. I thought some FR would enjoy the comedy considering the heightened TDS today...

I was just listening to Rush Limbaugh, and he stated how president Trump disinvited the Eagles to the White House. I thought I heard Rush say he is sending a message that Nobody messes with the White House as long as Ronald Reagan is in there or something like that. Did I hear correctly?

I'm a (fifth year) 24/7 listener. I try to stream the show each evening when I get home from work. After three failed attempts I was forced to download the podcasts (mp3) for each hour. So I'm listening now and Rush has chirped non-stop for ten minutes at the start of the show about the greatness of today's "upgrades." I'm not impressed. I've sent a complaint with technical details but I doubt I'll get anything more than a pro-forma response. Maybe someone on Rush's staff will notice this and let him know that at least this loyal, 25+ year listener...
