Rush Interviews Dr. Arthur Laffer
January 21, 2022 19:40 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MBRUSH: We welcome to our program Dr. Arthur Laffer, ladies and gentlemen, who has prepared a research paper on the Obama health care plan. I’ve admired your work, Dr. Laffer, ever since I first heard of you back in the late seventies, early eighties. It’s great to have you here. LAFFER: Well, thank you very much, Rush. It’s a pleasure. RUSH: By the way, I want to share something with you. You may not know this, but you are partially responsible for Obama becoming a community organizer, from...
The Establishment Thinks They Have Their Power Back — But They Know It’s Tenuous
January 20, 2022 19:53 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBRUSH: Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill-seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain. Man, oh, man. I have such a range of emotion flowing through my arteries and veins, going to my heart and away from my heart. I’m watching these people at the Biden inauguration. They think they got it all back. They think they finally have vanquished all of their opposition. And they haven’t the slightest idea. You can hear it in the words they’re saying to each other. You can hear it in ...
America Is Unhappy Because of the Epic Failures of Liberalism
January 19, 2022 20:18 - 24 minutes - 22.9 MBRUSH: All right. So look at that headline right there: “Republicans and Democrats Clash Over Police Reform.” You know what this is about? This is about an actual piece of legislation that is being argued and debated in the United States Senate. And I did a double take because that’s not how laws are made in our country anymore. The Senate and House don’t actually do anything anymore ’cause they’re all afraid to. Our laws come from regulators, unelected bureaucrats and our judges, as has jus...
The Left is in Tizzy Over the Supreme Court Ruling on the Voting Rights Act
January 18, 2022 20:40 - 7 minutes - 7.1 MBRUSH: the Supreme Court rule today that states can no longer be judged by voting discrimination that went on decades ago. This is a decision that marks the end of a major civil rights-era reform, the Voting Rights Act. A 5-4 ruling, and it rewrites a key element of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which for 50 years has given the federal government unprecedented say in everything, from how states draw their congressional maps, to where they place polling locations. It was all rooted in the bel...
Democrats Use Ralph Northam’s Racism to Cover Up What He Said About Abortion
January 17, 2022 19:33 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBRUSH: (Northam impression) “I’ll tell you something else about old Ralph, Ralph Northam, Ralph Northam from Virginia. Ralph Northam, he doesn’t even think the Democrats really want him to quit. He thinks they’re just sayin’ it ’cause they have to. That’s what he thinks. He thinks they don’t really want him gone, and he thinks they don’t really want his lieutenant governor to sit in in the governor’s chair if they’re forcing him out. So he’s gonna hang on! “So he’s gonna hang on, ’cause ain’...
Democrats Demand You Wear a Symbol of Fear
January 14, 2022 19:27 - 6 minutes - 5.54 MBRUSH: Oh, do you know what I heard right before the program started? This is another great illustration of a point that I’ve been making for I don’t know how long. A quarterback in the National Football League — and I didn’t see it. It was not videotaped so I don’t know who it was. But a current quarterback in the NFL actually said, “Look, I don’t want to get political, but I would like to get back to work.” Now, when the hell did going to work become political? Right now — right here, righ...
Biden Trashes Hillary and Democrats
January 13, 2022 18:15 - 5 minutes - 5.48 MBRUSH: The Democrats now are admitting privately amongst themselves, they are admitting that they lost. Biden is out with a couple of doses of honesty that are going to be really challenging for his buds in the Democrat Party. Joe Biden in one story here says that he doesn’t think Hillary knew why she was running for president. “Vice President Biden believes Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election in part because she never figured why she was running for the nation’s highest office. ‘...
Happy Birthday, El Rushbo! And It’s a Big One
January 12, 2022 20:22 - 2 minutes - 2.25 MBRUSH: And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill-seekers, and conversationalists all across the fruited plain. I am back again here in the saddle at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. Three hours straight ahead. This is Friday, right? So let’s go. JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, it’s Open Line Friday! RUSH: Righto. Now, I have it on good authority that you people were really ticked off yesterday. I mean, those of you that called. I got an email: “Man, your callers t...
Clueless American Leaders Shocked by Putin’s Attempt to Reassemble Soviet Union
January 11, 2022 20:03 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBRUSH: We’re gonna get to the Ukraine business, it’s gonna be the focus here. That happens to be the soap opera story. Actually, it’s not the soap opera story. This is Putin running rings around us. There’s no question what’s going on here. Vladimir Putin’s reassembling the Soviet Union. And this is something — I’ve got the sound bite — I predicted this back in 2008. And all the smart money in Washington, inside the Beltway — we’ve got these sound bites, too — they’re shocked that Putin is tr...
I’ve Been Properly Credited for Coining the Term “Undocumented Democrats”
January 10, 2022 20:39 - 10 minutes - 9.22 MBRUSH: The Weekly Standard has a piece in it that, very, very rarely has this ever happened to me. In fact, I can’t ever remember it happening. I’m sure it has, ’cause it’s been 27 years I’ve been doing this. The headline of this — and it’s not a hit piece. It’s not a criticism. The headline’s gonna mislead you. The headline is: “No, Ted Cruz Did Not Invent the Term ‘Undocumented Democrat.'” Apparently Senator Cruz has been running around, after this spat with Marco Rubio on immigration and ...
One Wrong Word… They Want to Make You Denounce Trump and the MAGA
January 07, 2022 21:32 - 10 minutes - 9.86 MBRUSH: This is Rachel in Brooklyn. I’m glad you called, Rachel. How are you? CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for USA and we appreciate it and all the best to you. I’d like to tell you that I think President Trump has been a prince of a president, the best president the country ever, ever had. He never did anything criminal, never anything at all, and the other side has done all the criminal and illegal stuff, and it is unbelievable that they could get into all the cou...
I Warned You About What We’re Living Through Today
January 06, 2022 17:33 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MBRUSH: Hey, folks, it’s great to be back. Really great to be back, and I need to ask you a favor. I need to you to give me a few minutes here just to get my sea legs. This has been a very, very bad couple of weeks for me. I don’t want to get into any more detail about it. Those of you have been through this know exactly what I’m talking about. But it has not been a break in the sense that it hasn’t been restful or relaxing or any kind of what people would call a vacation. But I wanted to get...
Defining Deviancy Down in New York
January 05, 2022 20:52 - 8 minutes - 7.77 MBRUSH: Here’s another think piece for you. From the Associated Press out of New York: “Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday proposed cutting the penalty for public possession of a small amount of marijuana, a change in state law that would defuse some criticism of the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk policy in minority communities. With three weeks remaining in the legislative session, Cuomo said his bill to reduce the criminal misdemeanor to a violation with a fine up to $100 would save th...
Senate Dems Target Filibuster Rule
January 04, 2022 20:48 - 8 minutes - 7.62 MBRUSH: Paula in Hartland, Wisconsin, I’m glad you waited. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. CALLER: Rush, so cool to talk to you. Anyway, I’m gonna get right to my point like I was instructed. Rush, I had a thought doing some reading this morning. I understand that Harry Reid and some Democratic senators are gonna try to push through some changes in the filibuster rules. And as I got thinking about it, I said, ‘Man, I hope I can get Rush today because I need his input on this,’ and I’m t...
How Did You Come Up with the Dingy Harry Nickname, Rush?
January 03, 2022 19:31 - 2 minutes - 2.72 MBRUSH: This is Keith in Atlanta. It’s great to have you, Keith. How are you doing, sir? CALLER: I’m great, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. RUSH: You bet. CALLER: I’ve been a listener since the early nineties and I’ve always been a fan of your nicknames. I think you and Trump have a unique talent for that. And one that I’ve always gotten a chuckle out of that I almost feel like it’s a private joke because I’m not sure that everybody gets it, is Dingy Harry. I’m pretty sure I know the origi...

Chuck Barkley on Why Pro Athletes Deserve Early Vaccines
December 17, 2021 22:02 - 2 minutes - 2.05 MBRUSH: Last Thursday night TNT Inside the NBA, they’re talking about the impact of COVID-19, the pandemic, on the NBA season. And here’s what Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith had to say about it. BARKLEY: Three hundred million shots. Give a thousand to some NBA players, NFL players, hockey players. Listen, as much taxes as these players paid — let me repeat that — as much taxes as these players paid, they deserve some preferential treatment. SMITH: For life and death? BARKLEY: Yes. SMITH: ...
Elizabeth Warren Video: One of the Great Teaching Tools on Liberalism

I know them like every square inch of my gloriously naked body. Dealing with liberals is like dealing with a one-armed lunatic. They’re just gonna keep swinging. They’re gonna keep fighting no matter what you do. They never go away. And I know what they’re gonna do and why they’re gonna do it before they do it, and people marvel at this. We have an opportunity now because of the...
The 2nd Impeachment: Trump’s Popularity Still Scares Them to Death
December 15, 2021 17:50 - 13 minutes - 12.1 MBRUSH: So I’m here (in a sporadic way) able to catch some of the Democrat impeachment filing against President Trump — and that he threatened the constitutional system, and the fact that he did this in the month of January is no reason to forget about it, that he threatened and almost destroyed the U.S. constitutional system. Now, all of that is an abject lie. https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2021/02/02/the-2nd-impeachment-trumps-popularity-still-scares-them-to-death/ Learn more about y...
The Sun Controls Our Climate
December 14, 2021 18:46 - 16 minutes - 15.5 MBRUSH: We had a call and the caller chickened out, the caller hung up, the caller did not have the guts to ask the question directly. I get a one-line advisory about whatever the caller wants to talk about, and this guy wanted to know how can you square pollution with global warming or something. Snerdley said he said, ‘Well look, big fan of yours, listens to you all the time –‘ of course; who doesn’t? ‘– he’s got a problem with your stand on global warming. He lives in Boston. Since the 190...
It Only Took Five Minutes for Democrats to Politicize the Oklahoma Tornado
December 13, 2021 17:20 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBRUSH: It took five minutes. Five minutes. It only took five minutes before the Democrat Party politicized the tornado in Oklahoma. They politicize everything, folks. They rub their hands together in glee when there is a natural disaster that they think they can spin in such a way as to advance their political agenda. If any of you doubt that global warming is a political issue and not a science issue, then you must open your mind and consider why in the world, ask yourself, why in the world,...
The Drive-Bys Didn’t Fall for the Smollett Hoax — They Were Advancing an Agenda!
December 10, 2021 17:52 - 18 minutes - 16.6 MBRUSH: This Jussie Smollett business or Smollett. Does anybody know what the real pronunciation is? I still have not heard the name pronounced. I guess you’re just gonna have to forgive me if I get it wrong here. You know what I find funny about this? You know what this is. This is this Empire actor, who’s gay and black and hates Trump. And, apparently, his first hoax — and I can’t understand this either. Forgive me. I’ve gone to three different media sources on this, and I still can’t deciph...

We're sorry we missed you on Friday, but you're going all out and I'm telling you, Senator, there's optimism out there.

Rush Interviews Vice President Dick Cheney
December 03, 2021 20:00 - 12 minutes - 11.2 MBRUSH: Once again, Mr. Vice President, it’s a thrill and an honor to have you with us, sir. VICE PRESIDENT RICHARD B. CHENEY: Well, good afternoon, Rush. RUSH: All right. First thing. We just had a call that leads me into my first question for you about the economy. The caller was frustrated that the party at large doesn’t seem to be getting the news out about how good the economy is, and indeed the economic statistics are fabulous — unemployment, middle-class wage growth, Dow Jones Industr...
Chuck Barkley Brings Back Late-Night Comedy
December 02, 2021 21:01 - 5 minutes - 4.83 MBRUSH: Grab audio sound bite number three. The TNT network does television coverage of the NBA. Now, we all know what’s happened to late-night comedy. It doesn’t exist anymore. There isn’t any. Late-night comedy has become left-wing agenda-driven anger and hate. Rather than looking for laughs from their audiences, late-night comics and stand-up comics are seeking applause for when they themselves endeavor to start getting into the hate game. The hatred of Donald Trump, the hatred of Republic...
White Flight and Abortion Could Spell Doom for Democrats’ Future
December 01, 2021 19:59 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBRUSH: Ronald Brownstein (former Los Angeles Times and now with the National Journal; that’s the Hotline crew) with a long story entitled, ‘White Flight — President Obama’s path to a second term may rely on states shaped by the same social forces he embodies,’ and what this story does quite graphically is illustrate that our man-child president of color not only has failed to bring us together, he has driven us further apart by race — and, more specifically, in the Democrat Party. It is white...
Leftist Privilege Saves Jussie Smollett
November 30, 2021 19:59 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MBRUSH: The police chief in Chicago is furious. The police superintendent, Eddie Johnson, who announced these charges against Smollett in the first place. If you’re just turning on the radio, the Chicago DA, the state attorney, Kim Foxx, who had recused herself from this case, has announced that charges against Jussie Smollett have been dropped, and the police were not consulted.

Why I Haven’t Mentioned Jussie Smollett Until Now
November 29, 2021 19:20 - 4 minutes - 3.81 MBRUSH: Okay. The Jussie Smollett (or Smollett, however he pronounces it) case. When this whole thing happened, you’ll notice (if you are a regular, careful listener) that I didn’t go to there. To me, there was something that didn’t look right or smell right. And when I saw all of these Hollywood people immediately jump on this thing and start claiming that it was a bunch of deranged Trump people attacking a poor black guy in Chicago, I said, “Waaaaaait a minute.

Brinkley: Trump Will Run Shadow Government with Rush Limbaugh
November 24, 2021 17:00 - 6 minutes - 5.72 MBRUSH: Douglas Brinkley is a Frank Luntz kind of guy. He’s a pollster, he’s a presidential historian, he’s at Rice University, and he was on CNN Saturday as the Drive-By Media continues to discuss what Trump is going to do when he leaves the White House. For example, here’s a Politico headline: “Trump Threatens to Wreak Havoc on GOP From Beyond the White House — His attacks on Republican governors since his loss offer a sample of what’s in store. President Donald Trump has spent the three we...
