Good Morning/Afternoon, MEGABLESSEDMERRYCHRISTMASDITTOS!

RUSH: No. What you have to understand, the Hunter Biden laptop is actually not about Hunter Biden. None of this is about Hunter Biden. This is about Joe Biden. It isn’t about Hunter. Hunter Biden may actually be worthy of our sympathy. Now, I know some, “Come on, Rush. Don’t start getting soft.” I’m not getting soft on anybody here. In fact, folks, I’m getting harder and harder as a rock as the days go by here. Great to be here. Telephone number, 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. And the email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us. So the FBI...

RUSH: Hey, guess who’s going to Kenosha? And no, it’s not us. Guess who’s going to Kenosha? (interruption) That’s exactly right. Sleepy Joe is going to Kenosha on Thursday, after telling everybody that Trump better not go, it would be a drastic error, it would be a huge mistake, it would be a faux pas, something that shouldn’t be done. Trump’s only gonna cause the town to burn down even more. He shouldn’t go. The Democrats all said, “Trump, don’t go.” The mayor, the governor, “Please don’t come. We don’t want you here.” Trump went. It went well. It went...

RUSH: And once again, ladies and gentlemen, President Trump was right when he forecast an economic recovery starting now. He was right about the shape. It would be a V-shaped recovery. He was right about when it would begin. He was right that it would take place in the first place. And because heÂ’s been right again, the left cannot let this stand. The Democrats and the left cannot let this stand, so be ready for whatever they come up with to take this news off the news. JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, itÂ’s Open Line Friday!...

RUSH: This is also a big day. Ten years ago today, Kathryn and I walked down… Well, Kathryn walked down the aisle. I stood there and waited. I stood there and waited and waited and I kept hoping. I wanted to see the door open at the long way down at the end of the hall. I kept looking and the door didn’t open. I said, “What’s going on? I hope the door opens.” I looked for her dad; I couldn’t find her dad. I looked for her brother; I couldn’t find her brother. I said, “They gotta be with...

RUSH: Okay. I’ve been watching the Senate committee hearing with the testimony from all the CDC people and Dr. Fauci. And folks, I’m really fighting, I’m trying very hard not to be a cynic. But I think this is an exercise in nothing but a bunch of gum flapping. This is just a bunch of people trying to get themselves on the record to cover their rear ends if the worst happens down the line. I am certainly not inspired watching any of this. And by that, I mean, I haven’t heard anybody say anything remotely positive. I haven’t heard...

RUSH: This is the ongoing effort here to expose the coup and the people who ran it that attempted to overturn a duly constituted election — a legal and fair election — attempted to reverse the result, attempted to get the winner thrown out of office with a failed allegation/phony allegation of colluding with Russia. We continue to learn even more about this. I want to take you back. You may not remember this. When the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and the president of Ukraine was released, it was really noteworthy that the president asked the...

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: 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: No, it is not some newfangled, weirdo thing that ultraviolet light can do damage to viruses and bacteria. How many people in the Drive-By Media do you think have an ultraviolet light sanitizer? How many of you do? They’re selling like hotcakes out there. “Disinfect your iPhone! Put it in this little container here.” What do you think is zapping it? Ultraviolet light is being used to sanitize this stuff: Baby supplies, keys, furniture, masks. Ultraviolet light is widely known. So this is what Trump was talking about when asking if there is a way that ultraviolet light can...

This coronavirus is a gigantic teachable moment. It’s teaching everybody a whole lot of things if they would just take the time to learn it — and the biggest thing, the absolute biggest thing that you have the opportunity to learn: How in the world can anybody sane want to keep this economy shut down? How can anybody sane be anything less than scared and outraged and mortified that 22 million people have been thrown out of work over something that may end up killing fewer than 50,000 people? It is unprecedented. And yet there are people who want to...

RUSH: Last night — now, this is earth-shattering in its own way — the governor of New Jersey was on Fox with Tucker Carlson. I want you to grab sound bite number 11. His name is Phil Murphy. By the way, there are uprisings all over this country against governors and their restrictions. It’s happening. People aren’t gonna put up with this. People instinctively know we’ve gotta get back to work. We have to reopen the economy. People instinctively know now that however bad this is, it isn’t as bad as they all told us. Not one model has been...

RUSH: Barack Hussein O has tweeted! Obama has weighed in. Quote, “We’ve seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic.” Who the hell is he talking about? Pelosi? The Democrats in New York City? He said, “We can’t afford any more consequences of climate denial.” So now they’re linking climate change to this virus, to this pandemic — which started in China — and that’s just the first two lines of the tweet. There’s more to it. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here’s the rest of Obama’s tweet. Let me get back to it. In fact,...

RUSH: Well, I guess the big news now is Fredo Cuomo of CNN has tested positive for coronavirus and will be quarantining in his basement. His brother, the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, has just revealed details of all of this, continuing to speak about it. It was almost a life review here of Chris Cuomo, how he became a lawyer, then a journalist, and how the dad was a very domineering personality and told Fredo that he better become a lawyer. It’s kind of… I don’t want to characterize it. But it was strange for somebody still alive....

RUSH: I’m always interested in people’s reaction to this program. I think I have a lot of empathy, and I think one of the reasons why the relationship you and I have is good is ’cause I know how you hear this show. That, I think, is a key ingredient. It’s called empathy. I know how you hear it. So when I check emails and get questions from people, usually I’m not surprised, and I’m not surprised that I got beaucoup number of questions: “Rush, you don’t sound panicked over any of this. The last two days, you don’t sound...

RUSH: Have you noticed, by the way, have you noticed that the Democrats and the media criticism of the Trump administration on coronavirus is starting to vanish? If you havenÂ’t noticed that, pay special attention, because theyÂ’re starting to back off it. The Democrats, the media screaming about the governmentÂ’s lack of response to the coronavirus, theyÂ’re backing off of this, and IÂ’m gonna tell you why theyÂ’re backing off of it. TheyÂ’re backing off of it because itÂ’s not becoming the pandemic in this country that they were all expecting. And IÂ’ve got an audio sound bite here of...

RUSH: I don’t know. Sometimes I just have to laugh. Like Larry King. Larry King, who has never gotten over what I did to him, and I didn’t do anything to him other than wipe him out. He’s never gotten over it. Now Larry King is working at someplace called Russia Today, and he claims I’m never gonna get a Pulitzer while he’s working at Russia Today, because I start talking about things like the coronavirus and I don’t know what I’m talking about and inside the radio business nobody respects me and I’ve never gonna get a Pulitzer. Larry,...

RUSH: Once again, ladies and gentlemen, your host all over the news proving that it is the media attempting to politicize this coronavirus. There can’t be any doubt about it. I am being lied about, misunderstood on purpose, taken out of context. I got the audio sound bite roster today, and I’m all over it. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Then there’s a headline here at TheHill.com: “Limbaugh: Bernie Sanders And The Democratic Party Pose ‘Far Greater Threat To This Country’ Than Coronavirus.” There’s no doubt. Socialism, if we elect socialism we got four years of an utter disaster on our hands...

RUSH: Folks, this coronavirus thing, I want to try to put this in perspective for you. It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump. Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus. (interruption) You think I’m wrong about this? You think I’m missing it by saying that’s… (interruption) Yeah, I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks. The Drive-By Media hype of this thing as a pandemic, as the Andromeda strain, as, “Oh, my God. If you get it, you’re dead,” do you know...

RUSH: You know, I’ve been looking at all this news over the weekend about Crazy Bernie and the Democrats, and there’s people writing columns about, “Oh, my God. The whole Democrat Party has gone socialist.” Really? What was your first clue? I’ve been trying to tell people what the Democrat Party is and how long it’s been that way, and so has Ronaldus Magnus. You go back, look at Ronald Reagan’s radio commentaries that he wrote and delivered, over 300 of them, he’s been warning about Bernie Sanders for I don’t know how many years, 50 or 60 at least....
