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...

Rose Garden   4:15 P.M. EDT  THE PRESIDENT:  We’re here today to provide an update on the unprecedented testing capacity developed by the United States — the most advanced and robust testing system anywhere in the world, by far.  This afternoon, I’ll also announce new steps that we’re taking to make tests even more widely available.To battle a virus, my administration marshaled every resource at our nation’s disposal: public, private, military, economic, scientific, and industrial — all at your disposal.  We launched the largest manufacturing ramp-up since the Second World War.  There’s been nothing like it since.At the center...

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...

Rose Garden4:04 P.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT:  Thank you very much.  Please.  Thank you.  Be seated, please.  And, Melania, thank you very much, on the second anniversary of the BE BEST Initiative.  You’ve done a fantastic job.  And everybody appreciates it.  But I want to — (applause) — thank you.  And I want to thank you, on behalf of the entire nation, for all that you do for America’s children and on fighting the drug addiction problem that we have in this country.  It’s all over the world.  But I want to thank you very much.  Great job you do.  You...

RUSH: This guy, you know, he’s a joke. He’s a charlatan. He’s been sending out phony data as part of his models, and that data has been used by American health experts and officials to dictate American behavior. Now, we’re learning a lot more about this guy as the days go on. “The scientist whose advice prompted Boris Johnson to lock down Britain resigned from his Government advisory position on Tuesday night as The Telegraph can reveal he broke social distancing rules to meet his married lover.” The guy was having an affair! And he broke his own social distancing...

RUSH: Meanwhile, you’re not gonna see this stat in the media today. What you’re seeing in the media today is an all-out effort at creating — in your mind — the apocalypse. They are going full tilt trying to convince you that the number of cases is multiplying geometrically, the number of deaths is multiplying geometrically, that all of these states opening up are irresponsible. Red state governors are gonna get you killed! It is the biggest… They’re in a full tilt effort here to try to get these governors to re-shut down the states that have opened. They are...

RUSH: A quick question. Are you a health care worker? Are you a nurse? Are you an EMT? Are you anybody who does anything in health care? Did you volunteer, for example, to go to New York during the peak period? Did you volunteer as a health care worker to go to New York to help out? Did you do more than was asked of you? Did you go above and beyond? Did you knowingly put yourself at greater risk than any of your fellow citizens by volunteering to go to New York during the peak reporting period of COVID-19...

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,...

C-SPAN is publishing inaccurate transcripts of President Donald Trump’s remarks during the vitally important national coronavirus task force daily briefings. Yes, really. So Trump is being falsely attacked for what Trump never said (again). The worst of it, lately, is Trump asking questions to scientists. Those questions have been transformed into statements that Trump never made. But as I endeavored to clear up the fog, I was shocked to discover that C-SPAN’s textual transcript are the source of the confusion. The quotes that Trump haters are throwing around happen to be accurate reports of the inaccurate C-SPAN transcript. Not everyone...

Rose Garden5:38 P.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Thank you. Today I’d like to provide you with an update in our war against the coronavirus.

James S. Brady Press Briefing RoomApril 24, 2020 5:39 P.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT:  Thank you very much, everyone.  Thank you.  We continue to see evidence that our aggressive strategy is working and working at a very high level.  Nationwide, the percent of tests that come back positive has declined very significantly.Last week, roughly 38 percent of the tests in New York were positive.  This week, that number is down to 28 percent.  New cases in New York are down 50 percent compared to a week ago.  And fatalities are down 40 percent over the same period.  In Louisiana, the rate...

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: Now, yesterday on this program… It’s amazing. I tell jokes about liberals. I characterize them or do things to make fun of them, and within minutes either the joke comes true or the characterization is something that they actually go out there and do, and it happened yesterday. In reviewing Governor Cuomo’s press conference yesterday, I happened to say — I characterized it as — the “I’m Governor and You’re Not Press Conference.” You remember that? “I’m governor and you’re not.” Let’s go to the audio sound bites, because last night… In fact, this is what I said. Let’s...

RUSH: We are very honored, very thrilled to have with us the vice president of the United States, carving out some time for us during what must be the most incredible schedule. Vice President Pence, welcome to the program. Great to have you back with us today. THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Rush. Good to be back. RUSH: You bet. You know, people have asked me over the course of my many years, “Are you ever gonna run for office?” and I’ve always said, “No, no, no, no desire,” because I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes right now....

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: So, I spent considerable time on yesterday’s program describing why there’s no reason we cannot return to a new normal. I spent considerable time on this program. In fact, I went and checked RushLimbaugh.com, my website, I wanted to see the way I spoke, how it appeared in print, how it looked. It was awesome, folks. It’s worth reconsulting at RushLimbaugh.com, both if you missed the program yesterday or if you heard it but haven’t yet been to the website. You don’t have to be a subscriber. It’s on the free side. You’ll be able to see the monologue...

RUSH: I want to read a headline to you. This headline is from one of my tech blogs, Ars Technica. Ready? I’m just gonna read the headline and then I’m gonna go to commercial break. I’m gonna come back from the commercial break and I’m gonna provide you the details. But I think you’re gonna need this in two phases anyway. Are you ready? “The Centers for Disease Control’s Failed Coronavirus Tests Were Actually Tainted with the Virus — Tests provided early on by the CDC, according to a federal investigation, found that CDC…” These are the best and the...
