Did you hear Rush's first 20 minutes today? Rush gave an update on his health and treatments. He was vague and cryptic and it sounded to me like he's setting us up for his eventual demise. But that's just my take on it. God Bless Rush and Catherine. I hope and pray that he pulls through but a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis is almost always a death sentence. But I'm holding out hope that he does beat this. After all I had expected Alex Trebek to be gone by now after his stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Ive known...

I was listening to him at the top of the hour. I think he said his current treatment's goal is to make the patient comfortable for as long as possible. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but perhaps he is telling us he isn't being treated for a cure. He also said we would be amazed, if we knew exactly what he had, that he is still alive. Did anyone else hear him?

Rush Limbaugh said these next four months are going to be a "veritable war" like we have not seen.... On the Tuesday broadcast of his nationally-syndicated radio program, Limbaugh said Democrats will (SNIP) blow up their own country's jobs to ensure a Trump loss in November. RUSH LIMBAUGH: I’ll tell you something else that’s starting to send red flags up. You probably have already noticed this. All these blue state governors that want to keep their states locked down, it’s purely political. But what are they depending on? They’re depending on the red states — the red states that are...

A man accused of setting a fire that destroyed an Islamic center in southeast Missouri has been charged with a federal hate crime, the U.S. Attorney’s office in St. Louis said Tuesday. A federal grand jury indicted 42-year-old Nicholas J. Proffitt in the April fire that destroyed the Cape Girardeau Islamic Center, the office said in a statement. Proffitt is charged with damaging religious property because of the property’s religious character, using fire to commit a federal felony, and damaging a building used in interstate commerce through use of fire. […] A Muslim advocacy group, which had called for a...

RUSH: Well, well, well. Getting really, really interesting out there, folks. Not that it hasn’t been. But man, oh, man, there’s some hot brewing stuff going on out there that, frankly, I’m surprised — ha-ha — is not bigger news than it is. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I am America’s Real Anchorman to tell you what the big news really is, the big news the Drive-By Media, the Democrats in the media are ignoring. Now in the news all of a sudden, Barack Hussein O. And Barack Hussein O is in the news for what? (interruption) He’s trashing...

RUSH: Finally, finally back at it here. Every time I go away to get some treatment something else happens and I get three days tacked on to the original number of days I was gonna have to miss. And it ticks me off. But nevertheless, my friends, we’re back. We are here lined up and ready to go for more broadcast excellence behind the Golden EIB Microphone. Rush Limbaugh. Really happy to be back here with you. Telephone number, 800-282-2882. And the email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. There is some value in it in that when I’m not at work every day,...

A big box arrived yesterday with a West Palm Beach return address. I thought it was probably something from a lawyer related to my mother's estate. I didn't bother to open it until just now. It's a full set of Rush's History Series featuring Liberty the talking horse. I had purchased Brave Pilgrims long ago for my granddaughter. Some months ago Rush said that one could request these books, so I did; but I completely forgot about it. I had mentioned that I didn't need another copy of Brave Pilgrims but it was in my package too. Thanks, Rush; and...

RUSH: Now, another controversy that sprung up out there that happens — I don’t know — at least once a week. The Drive-By Media is attempting to persuade and convince people that Donald Trump told people to drink Drano at the White House press briefing yesterday. That Donald Trump told people to go out and get a syringe and inject Clorox in their arms, and that this could be dangerous, that Donald Trump is killing people now in the White House press briefing. There was a reporter from the Washington Post in the briefing. He brought a guy out who...

RUSH: How many of you last night watched the NFL draft? Brian, you did? You watched it? I know Mr. Snerdley didn’t. Was it on in your house, Dawn? I didn’t even think to turn it on. I have read about the draft, however. No, I’ve never been much of a draft guy anyway. It’s never held the — even at the top, at the peak of my NFL Fanboy existence, the draft was always, eh, meh, no big deal to me. The vast majority of people chosen are never gonna make it so it’s just — but I know...

RUSH: I’m still responsible for all the protests out there. Despite never having advocated even a one of them. Oh, yeah, we’ve commented on them, but I haven’t advocated a protest. I haven’t given marching orders, because I never do. Yesterday on the New York Times website they have a podcast called The Daily, and Jim Rutenberg… This guy used to be dependable years ago when he first got the gig. This is what he had to say about the protests against the states and the governors and their stay-at-home orders. RUTENBERG: As these protests roll out, they’re becoming a...

RUSH: They’re flying drones over Palm Beach, over the beach. Did you see that? It’s the most fascinating picture. There’s a drone photo, and the drone happened to catch a pelican. My favorite bird’s the pelican, and this picture is of a pelican. The pelican’s flying just below the drone and the pelican is in the picture. It’s a picture of the Midtown Beach, and the Palm Beach police put it out, “Oh, no, no, no, no! “We are not using this to violate anybody’s rights. We’re not doing this…” It wasn’t the police. It was the city government people....

RUSH: There are growing protests all over the fruited plain, the American people demanding that their states open for business. Your host is single-handedly being blamed for these protests. Now, the difference is that most hosts being blamed for something like this would gladly accept the blame, would gladly accept the responsibility. Most hosts would like being thought of as having that kind of power. On the other hand, I, Rush Limbaugh, America’s Real Anchorman, I know that I have this kind of power and I have not utilized it. I have not urged one protest. I never do this....

Did anybody happen to catch the segment on Rush's show today where he recited two Californian studies (one in Santa Clara one in SoCal) that indicates that anywhere from 44% to 58% of Californians have been infected by covid-19 but didn't know it because so many of those people showed no symptoms.

RUSH: I’m the guy that’s been warning everybody about who the Democrats are and the modern-day leftists, but I swear, I don’t know how much more I can take of a political party and its governors actually attempting to extend this damage, to prolong the harm that is occurring to average, ordinary people. It is amazing to watch this. I’m asking myself, do they have no common sense? What are they gonna have left if they succeed with this? Governor Cuomo just said the most incredible thing, and I’ll bet you this is gonna be true of Illinois. Governor Cuomo...

RUSH: Folks, you have to hear this — and I want you to envision something. This is Plugs last night. CNN ran a special: “Coronavirus Facts and Fears: A CNN Global Town Hall.” The host was a dire and very gloomy looking Anderson Cooper along with the official medical doctor at CNN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. So on the screen from left to right as you’re looking at the screen, you had the gloomy Anderson Cooper; in the middle, you had Dr. Sanjay Gupta; and then you had Plugs, from his basement studio in Delaware. The question: “Looking at the president’s...

Three years to revive an economy, create roaring circumstances. It took less than two months to wipe it all out. Twenty-two million people filing for unemployment compensation — 22 million — and the idea that there is not an angry outcry from all over the world that this must stop? That outcry had better happen, because this… We’re beyond now saying this is unsustainable. This is untenable! This is cataclysmic! We’re in the midst of a self-created disaster that we could fix (snap, snap, snap) at the snap of our fingers.

RUSH: Holy smokes. Did you see the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing yesterday? Holy smokes. That was a throwback to the campaign of 2016. That is exactly why Donald Trump got elected. Donald Trump and the White House comms shop put together a video montage popularized by this program. We were the first to do it on Rush the TV Show and the radio program way, way, way, way back in the early nineties, a montage of leftists and Democrats in the media. And now everybody does it. The White House did their own, chronicling the media lying, chronicling...

RUSH: They owe us an explanation. Now, I touched on this yesterday. We are owed a huge explanation. So, 2.2 million deaths. “Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, 2.2. We gotta shut it down. And if we mitigate, maybe 240,000 deaths. If we social distance, we stay at home, if we shut down, if we wear masks, we do all this stuff, maybe a hundred thousand to 200,000, maybe 240,000.” Guess what? Sixty thousand. “Fauci Slashes U.S. Death Projection, Raising Hope for Reopening.” The doomsayers get to get away with everything. “Fauci Slashes U.S. Death Projection, Raising...

RUSH: Now, President Trump, it says here, “is looking into reopening parts of the U.S. economy, according to Steve Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary. Mnuchin said yesterday that Trump’s looking into reopening parts of the economy.” He was being interviewed by Maria Bartiromo on the Fox Business Network. Question: “Do you think this shutdown’s gonna go longer than eight weeks?” Mnuchin said, “Maria, I hope not. I hope we get back to the point… Everything I hear from the medical professionals and many places, we’re close. We’re close to the worst point. They’re beginning to peak, and I think then things...

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 24. Andrew Cuomo today at his daily briefing for the people in New York… CUOMO: You have projection models that have us hitting the apex, coming down from the apex. Models vary at how quickly you come down from the apex. But they all basically say you come down from the apex quickly. Models have it flattening out and continuing through the summer. How many lives lost? There’s only one model that we look at that has the number of projected deaths, which is the IHME model which is funded by the Gates Foundation....
