And the views expressed by the host of this program, documented to be almost always right now, 99.6% of the time.
Latest opinion audit from the prestigious Sullivan Group, opinion auditing firm.
They don't audit anybody else's opinions, but mine.
I'm the only client in Sacramento, California.
Actually, Roseville, California.
They moved up.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882.

Elena Kagan testifying again today at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
One of the best ways to understand what's going on here is conservatives, people like us, see the Constitution as an outline of our rights and a check on government intrusion upon them.
Liberals, like Kagan, like Obama, see the Constitution as a way to control us.
And that is an amazingly stark difference.
Amazing.
Here's Elena Kagan today on Capitol Hill, Orrin Hatch with a question.
According to the documents we received, you wrote a memo to your superiors in the Clinton White House.
You noted the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists were considering a statement that its experts panel found no circumstances under which partial birth abortion was the only option for saving the life or preserving the health of a woman.
The political objective of keeping partial birth abortion legal appears to have trumped what a medical organization originally wrote and left to its own scientific inquiry and that they had concluded.
Did you write that memo?
Senator, with respect, I don't think that that's what happened.
I'm happy to have you clarify it.
That's my question.
Did you write that memo?
I'm sorry, the memo which is...
The memo that basically caused them to go back to the language of medically necessary.
That was the big issue to begin with.
Yes, well, I've seen the document and the document.
But did you write it?
That's your memo.
The document is certainly in my handwriting.
It's unbelievable.
Do you think this is how her interview went to become the dean to Harvard Law?
Don't you think you need to be a little bit more forthcoming in a job interview for the Supreme Court than you do at Harvard Law?
Look at how long it took in 27 seconds.
She won't say she wrote it, but she admits in her handwriting.
She will not admit that she wrote it.
Well, a document certainly in my handwriting.
And don't forget the substance here.
This woman was arguing for the political necessity of partial birth abortion rather than listening to what medical experts were saying about it.
She's a pure 150% political animal when she was working in the Clinton administration.
Listen to this again.
Now that you know where it's going, listen to this soundbite again.
Senator, with respect, I don't think that that's what happened here.
I'm happy to have you clarify.
That's my question.
Did you write that memo?
MS. I'm sorry, the memo which is?
MR. The memo that basically caused them to go back to the language of medically necessary.
That was the big issue to begin with.
Yes, well, I've seen the document and the document.
But did you write it?
Is that your memo?
The document is certainly in my handwriting.
Now, can you imagine if this were John Roberts or Alito or Clarence Thomas?
Well, I've seen the memo, yeah.
But did you write it?
Well, I've seen it.
What memo are you talking about?
You know the memo that says X.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I've seen them, but Senator, I don't think.
No, no, no.
I'm just adding, did you write it?
Well, the document's certainly in my handwriting.
And they say she's a trailblazer.
What prey tell trail is she blazing here?
Whatever trail she's covering it up, there's no question about it.
A lot of the media reporting about Kagan the last couple days has described her as a trailblazer, folks.
She's not the first woman nominated, so it can't be that.
That was done by Republican with Reagan's nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor.
She's not the first person who's Jewish.
That was Justice Brandeis.
She's not even the first Jewish woman that was Ruth Ginsburg.
Is there some kind of token the Supreme Court was still missing that I haven't seen?
Well, what trail is she blazing here?
I'm sorry, Snerdley.
I'm at my wit's end.
Oh, okay, so she played softball.
whoop so she oh Do you see how clean and pure as the wind-driven snow my mind is?
And it's not been polluted.
Okay, so that's the trail that some of you think might be being blazed here.
Is that right?
Play softball.
Okay.
Well, the document's certainly in her handwriting.
I just want you to stop and think what would happen if any Republican nominee had tried to dodge the question and then finally given up and answered it.
Well, yeah, it's in my handwriting, but that's no proof that I wrote it.
And essentially, it's what she was saying.
She's trying to not admit that she wrote it.
That's in my handwriting.
For a little comic relief before we get back to Kagan soundbites, John Lewis, you want to know what Obamaville sounds like?
United States of America is now Obamaville.
You know, back in Herbert Hoover's days, they called places of high unemployment Hoovervilles.
The whole country is Obamaville.
On the House floor during one-minute speeches, John Lewis, Democrat Georgia, spoke and said, Mr. Speaker, it is a shame and a disgrace that we did not extend unemployment insurance.
Every single member who voted no yesterday should be ashamed of themselves.
People are suffering.
They are hurting.
They are in pain.
They cannot make ends meet.
And too many, just too many on the other side of the aisle turn a deaf ear.
I ask my Republican colleagues, can't you hear?
Can't you feel?
Can't you see?
Where is your heart?
Where is your compassion?
Where is your concern?
Extend unemployment benefit and extend it now.
John Lewis of Georgia, a Democrat member of the U.S. House of Representatives, that's the sound of Obamaville.
Obama was going to end all of this misery.
Obama was going to bring about a screeching halt to it.
Where is the end of the misery?
No, Snerdley, don't do that.
Snerdley's.
Snerdley, don't do this because you're going to cause me to start doing it.
And if I do it, we are in deep doo-doo.
Snerdley is impersonating John Lewis and the IFB.
Very effectively so.
I can also impersonate John Lewis, effectively so.
But if I do it, I'm in.
All right, let's turn now to the official Obama criticizer.
The official Obama criticizer, Bo Snerdley, with a reaction to the one-minute floor rant of Congressman John Lewis of Georgia.
Where is your heart?
Where is your compassion?
We want everybody on unemployment from now until forever and ever.
Where are your feelings?
Where?
Where?
Where is your money?
That money is ours.
And we want to give that money from Obama's stash, from my stash, from your stash to my unemployed peoples.
Where is your feelings?
Thank you.
That's official Obama criticizer, Bo Snerdley.
Could I?
I heard during the Clarence Thomas hearings, I heard Congressman Lewis say something.
I want to tell you in my voice what he said.
Would you repeat it in his voice?
He was equally passionate, energetic.
He was in the well of the House, the floor of the House, and he said, I have been beaten upside the head, but it doesn't mean that I'm qualified to be on the Supreme Court.
Would you say that in John Lewis' voice?
Three, two, here is the official Obama criticizer, Bo Snerdley.
I have been beaten upside the head, but it doesn't mean that I am qualified to be on the Supreme Court.
Gosh, you've got it.
That's exactly the way he sounds.
And back to the phones here on the EIB network.
John in Indianapolis, great to have you, sir, on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Three times in a year, bro.
Lucky me.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
I like to say to my mother and father, I love them, and they listen every day.
And if it weren't for them, I'd be on the wrong side of the dirt.
What do you think about Larry King, Larry O'Kingbo, hanging up the mic?
Me, personally?
I'm going to miss him, kind of like Ted Kennedy and all the great soundbites.
And what about his choice?
Well, he's not really going away.
He's going to...
He's going to remain CNN host emeritus and do specials around big news events and so forth.
So he's really not, he's not writing off to the big microphone in the sky.
He just is retiring, but he's going to be back like an elder statesman at CNN.
But could you stand his choice of replacements, Ryan Seacrest?
To me, that makes me think of Louis Farrakhan spending another night at the White House.
Well, I'm not sure that it's going to be Ryan Seacrest.
One of the names that's been tossed around out there is Piers Morgan, who is a presenter and an interviewer from the UK, BBC or some British channel.
And Katie Couric apparently was offered the job and turned it down.
She didn't want to be Trailblazer twice.
Although interviewing is, they say, more valuable or a suitable use of her skills.
The other names have been tossed around.
What are some of the other names been tossed around out there?
Ryan Seacrest, I've heard.
Bob Costas, I've heard name being tossed around.
I think what's interesting about this is a story today in a Politico by who?
Keech Hagee.
King to step down after 25 years.
His future at CNN in question, since a recent string of weak ratings became a symbol for the network's struggle to find its way in an increasingly ideologically divided cable landscape.
Larry King, host of the show, said he's hanging up his nightly suspenders.
King is 76, and he, along with John Klein, made the announcement after weeks of tabloid coverage about his possible successor.
In May, King scored his lowest ratings in 20 years, lagging far behind MSNBC and Sean Hannity on Fox.
Ratings bounced back a bit in June, growing 28% on the previous month, according to Nielsen.
But the movement to replace King was already well underway, according to a New York Times report last month.
Now, I guess the upshot here of the story is it's just too ideological out there for Larry to survive.
Just too, as though Larry's not ideological.
Larry King is as liberal as they come.
And he's not afraid to show it.
This is total BS.
Crossfire died.
As this program was ascending to number one, Crossfire was plummeting.
You can't get more ideological than that.
To say King is not ideological.
Air America bombed out, never got off the ground.
They were ideological.
That's not what's going on here.
CNN, here's their ratings leader.
What does it tell you?
There's big trouble over there.
And now, folks, I haven't commented on this because it's rather unseemly, but Elliot Spitzer, client number nine, a prime time show on CNN.
You know, there are people throughout this business, highly trained broadcast specialists who are talented to one degree or another.
And where does CNN go?
To a Bordello reject to find one half of an anchor team.
I mean, this is breathtakingly something.
Stupid, ignorant.
What?
Hell, Helen Thomas is available.
I mean, if King couldn't cut it during the ideological trends of cable news, why Helen Thomas is there, and we all know how telegenic she is and put her in the mix for potential substitute or replacement host for Larry King.
Chrissy in Toledo, you're next in the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
I just got a couple of things here.
I've seen firsthand now for sure how the Democrats and Liberals don't want us to succeed and do better in our lives.
Right now I'm a registered nurse.
I went back to school for my BSN, and now I'm going back to school again to become a doctor.
And I get so much grief that I've actually stopped telling people what I'm going back to school for, just telling them that I'm just, oh, I'm just going back for my master's degree of nursing.
And those who do support me are supporting.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
Well, hold it a second.
Why are you getting grief?
They're just, I don't know.
They just don't want to stay where they're at and not better improve their own lives.
Oh, you mean your peers, your coworker, your friends?
Oh, why are you?
Oh, okay.
I got it.
Coworkers and whatnot.
And those that do support me are actually other physicians, but they're scared, and other medical care providers, but they're scared that they'll fall into one of Obama's socialism programs that he's trying to pass, where the cardiologists or the family practice doctors or the anesthesiologists will get paid kind of like one flat rate across the board.
Yeah, well, look, at least you're trying to improve yourself, and that's the upshot of this.
Right, right.
But meanwhile, I'm getting no, I don't, I'm already 37 years old.
So being that I'm not a single mom or fresh out of high school, I have no extra funding that I qualify for.
So I was thinking of you guys, and remember years ago, somebody had to have a bake sale to be able to afford a subscription.
There is a guy named Dan.
He was stealing my newsletter and making copies of it.
And I said, come on, man.
He called here and said he couldn't afford a subscription because his wife wouldn't let him.
And I said, I'll do that.
Do a bake sale and raise the money because bake sales are popular.
Is that what you're thinking of doing?
Yes, I need to come up with like $200,000 for tuition.
So I think.
No, no, no, no.
You don't understand how this works.
You don't need $200,000 for tuition.
You need a $200,000 loan.
Now, the student loan program has been taken over by the Obama administration.
I got a story somewhere here in the stack.
It may be, I maybe have it for tomorrow.
Okay.
But there's a story about how most, a lot of people, if they are preferred borrowers, are really never going to have to pay it back.
That's one of the reasons why Obama's taken over the program.
He's taken the $75 billion student loan program out of the private sector, and people are going to be able to borrow money in the program from the federal government to go to school.
And if you're preferred, they're probably never going to make you pay it back.
So what you have to figure out here, Chrissy, is what are you going to have to do to qualify for a loan that'll be forgiven?
Well, it won't be forgiven.
You may not have to pay it back financially, but you have to promise to vote for Obama or Democrats because it'll be on those terms that these loans are forgiven.
Interesting.
Folks, I'm not making this up.
This is how they are going to determine who gets an education.
This is how they, why take over the student loan program to put yourself in charge of who gets in.
And when you put yourself in charge of who gets in, then you're going to have a criteria for who gets in.
You're going to want your people in there getting liberal educations, be they doctor educations, medical or what have you.
So you've got to learn to game the system.
My audience is not going to like me saying this.
But the reality is what it is.
It's like crony capitalism, in your case, crony studentism.
Yeah.
Okay.
The deal is now that the regime runs a student loan program.
You need 200 grand to go to med school.
All right?
The way it works is you've got to figure out how to get the money so that you don't have to pay it back.
Right.
Because there are people going to be able to do that.
I'm not making this up.
Now, you can top.
You can say, no, I'm going to be virtuous.
I'm not going to borrow money that I don't intend to pay back.
Well, fine and dandy.
That's cool.
But you've got a regime that fully expects to loan somebody money and not have them pay it back.
They will own them in some other way.
In the meantime, Chrissy, something else I heard you say, and this is one of my biggest pet peeves, don't worry what other people say or think about you.
Just forget it.
That's the biggest shackle and ball and chain you can put around yourself is to be concerned about what a bunch of people that don't even matter to you think.
Forget them.
All right, we have audio sounds.
Let's go back to play number five again.
This is John King on his show on CNN last night talking about my assessment of Elena Kagan, Supreme Court nominee of Barack Hussein Obama.
Rush Limbaugh says he knows what's behind this nomination.
Well, the reason there's nobody criticizing Kagan on the left is because she's exactly what they want, an Obama rubber stamp.
She is a full-fledged, far-left ideologue who believes the Constitution's unjust and immoral, needs to be rewritten, and she's going to be happy to do it.
But she can't get confirmed if she admits that.
He's right.
She can't get confirmed if she admits that.
Nobody could.
Exactly right.
That doesn't disqualify what I said.
They're laughing at nobody could.
There's very few people that would admit it.
There are very few people that would be nominated for the court, Mr. King, that hold the view she does.
She's one of them.
That's why you're getting, I mean, worse than an empty suit.
I mean, for Cray, when Arlen Specter says, my gosh, I can't get anything substitute out of you.
Hey, Mr. King, for tonight's show, did you miss it?
Last hour I said, maybe the Senate should resort to waterboarding to get answers out of her because we know that does make people talk.
See Khalid Sheikh Muhammad.
Now, there was another guest on King's show last night, Cornell Belcher, a Democrat strategist whom I have never heard of.
And John King said, well, what about Limbaugh and Kagan and all this constitution unjust and immoral stuff?
Well, that's crazy babble.
But, you know, and it's crazy by a crazy guy.
I mean, she's a remarkably well-qualified woman.
She's going to be a great justice.
To the point of why he's doing that, obviously, we're in a midterm election year.
I think the tone this year is a little sharper than it was in Sotomayor a year ago, if only for the reason that's an odd number of year, this is an even number.
Is that there?
That's a base issue.
Well, I would argue that it is.
I mean, part of that sort of energizing, the base that my friend here always likes to talk about, the energizing of their base and their base is more enthusiasm.
But you keep throwing them red meat like this.
I mean, you keep throwing them sort of red meat.
I mean, she's going to take away your, they're going to take away your guns.
They're going to, you know, do all this crazy stuff.
Meanwhile, she will not deny that the Constitution gives her the right to tell people what they can and can't eat.
Meanwhile, she won't confirm that she wrote a memo that is in her handwriting.
Mr. Belcher, I am not a political consultant.
I'm not throwing red meat to anybody.
I don't have a base.
And I'm not working with the Republican Party.
Try as you people might to make me out to be the leader of the Republican Party.
I'm not.
I may be de facto, but I am not because I seek it.
And I don't coordinate it.
I don't have a base.
I'm throwing red meat at people.
I tell people what I think.
A political consultant, I couldn't do it.
I'm too honest.
Here's, let's go to Morph Kagan.
This is, let's see, Charles Grassley.
Should judges ever look to foreign law for quote-unquote good ideas, should they get inspiration for their decisions from foreign law?
I'm in favor of good ideas coming from wherever you can get them.
So in that sense, I think for a judge to read a law review article or to read a book about legal issues or to read the decision of a state court even though there's no binding effect of that state court or to read the decision of a foreign court to the extent that you learn about how different people might approach and have thought about approaching legal issues.
But I don't think that foreign law should have independent precedential weight in any but a very, very narrow set of circumstances.
Obama is in Wisconsin reminding the audience, don't forget the people who got us in this mess in the first place.
I stopped listening to whatever babble I was getting out of Kagan there because I'm watching Obama up there in Ray C.
We had an advanced copy of his teleprompter remarks.
Let's not forget who got us into this mess in the first place.
It's a year and a half into his mess.
What did she say here?
Oh, yeah, I got to look to foreign law.
Of course, we got to look to foreign law.
Absolutely.
I'll look to anywhere as a good idea.
If Alice in Wonderland has a good idea, Judge, I'll certainly consider it, Senator.
Did you get this answer?
I think it went anywhere.
Oh, yeah.
If Al-Qaeda had a good idea, it might be senseless in somebody's view, but it's a good idea.
We might want to look at it.
I'm open to all ideas, Senator.
What is this?
You people realize the depths of depravity this bunch is taking the American judicial system.
Of all the things that they are doing, the assault on the rule of law and the populating of our judiciary with mindless theoretician ideologues who are hell-bent on rewriting the Constitution is just striking.
Lizzie Grassley said, if confirmed, would you rely on or cite international foreign law when you decide cases?
It depends.
There are some cases in which the citation of foreign law or international law might be appropriate.
We spoke earlier, I forget which of the senators, about the Hamdi opinion.
The Hamdi opinion is one in which the question was how to interpret the authorization for the use of military force.
And Justice O'Connor in that case, one of the ways that she interpreted that statute was by asking about the law of war and what the law of war usually provides, what authorities the law of war provides.
And that's a circumstance in which, in order to interpret a statute giving the president various caretakers, the court thought it appropriate to look to what the law of war is.
First grade dickens leader.
I mean, what the hell am I putting in play in this stuff for anyway?
I'm looking here at the audio soundbite roster for anything.
We got Fortney Pete Stark, greatest hits.
Forteny Pete Stark attacks another constituent.
That's probably pretty good.
Let's listen to Fortney Pete Stark, California, attack another constituent.
Typical Democratic behavior.
Last Saturday, Fremont, California.
Guy in the audience asking a question about border security.
Minutemen want to have something to say?
Yep.
Who are you going to kill today?
Who are we going to kill today?
Yeah.
Well, I just would like to know, well, actually, American citizens are being killed right now by the civil war that's going on.
That's right.
Okay, I want to know why the federal government is not doing anything or a lot more to seal our borders in this country so that we're a solvent country at the end of the day.
Oh, we can't get enough minutemen armed.
We'd like to get all the minutemen armed so that they could stop shooting people.
It's not our job.
We're just citizens.
It's the United States.
We're funny.
If you knew anything about our borders, you would know that that's not the case.
Our borders are quite secure.
Thank you.
This is a very serious battery.
You're sitting there making a fire.
I don't have to make fun of you, sir.
You do a fine job.
That's Fortney Pete Stark insulting a constituent.
Now, you know what I find amazing about this?
Is Fremont, California, and we got somebody, somebody showed up out there who's concerned about the border.
What do you think the odds of that are?
A constituent town hall in California, and somebody actually showed up who cares about the border.
The one person in California that might be concerned about it actually found his way in there and accused Fortnite Pete Stark of making fun of him.
No, no, sir.
You're doing a good enough job of that.
You want to hear some Forteny Pete Stark greatest hits?
Said we were killing Iraqis for amusement.
They sure don't care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq.
Where are you going to get that money?
You're going to tell us lies like you're telling us today?
Is that how you're going to fund the war?
You don't have money to fund the war or children, but you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement.
That was on the House floor in 2007, October the 18th.
Fortene Pete Stark.
This is during a debate on the children's health bill and how to pay for it.
And of course, back then we didn't have any money.
We didn't have any money.
We got plenty of money now.
So, yeah, here's another guy to put in the potential roster to replace Larry King.
Forteny Pete Stark, along with Seacrest.
No.
I think Seacrest has got too much to lose to go on that show.
But you could put Helen Thomas.
She's on there.
Put Harry or Katie Couric in there.
And this guy, Forteney Pete Stark, who puts the Stark in Stark Raving Mad.
You've heard the phrase Stark Raving Mad.
He's the guy that puts the Stark in the phrase.
Forteney Pete Stark raving mad.
A Girl Scout leader has been accused of stealing the identity of two scout volunteers according to Mount Olive, New Jersey Cops.
The Girl Scouts.
It's bad enough when there's cookie theft.
But now a Girl Scout leader has been accused of stealing the identity of two volunteers.
Kelly Willard of Bud Lake, the leader of DAISY Troop 4366, was arrested after a three-week investigation showed the police that she was responsible for applying for credit cards using personal information from two volunteers.
It's just, it never stops.
Over in New York, more than 30 people have been arrested for stealing millions of dollars through an identity theft scheme that stretched from Staten Island to Fort Hood, Texas.
Most of the Commission, Ray Kelly, said most of the suspects are Nigerians living on Staten Island who stole personal information from their victims to drain their checking investment and credit card accounts.
So you got Nigerians stealing from Staten Islanders.
You got Girl Scout leaders stealing from volunteers.
Identity.
This is outrageous.
It calls for lifeluck.
Look, folks, if a Girl Scout leader is going to steal somebody's identity, is any of us safe?
Are any of us safe?
Now, nobody's going to stop identity theft totally.
But when it does come to protecting your identity, don't mess with anybody but Life Lock.
They are the trusted leader.
They never sell your information.
Some of their competitors actually do that.
They have the best identity alert system in the business.
And it's ridiculously inexpensive.
So inexpensive, you should offer to pay more when you sign up.
800-440-4833.
Save 10% off your lifelock membership.
Just mention the offer code RUSH.
800-440-4833-Life Lock.
Call now, especially if your daughter is in the Girl Scouts.
You know, this town meeting up there in Racine, Wisconsin must be pretty big because Mess NBC just jumped out of it for breaking news on the Russian spy story.
Some 11th spy has vanished in Cyprus.
Big whoop.
You know, this, folks, this, this, this, this, whatever it's billed as, this town meeting up there in Racine, Wisconsin, this is psychologically not all there.
Yep, the economy is on the right direction.
The economy is doing well.
They're 14% unemployment up there.
Let's not forget, let's not forget whose policies got it where we are.
Here's Obama.
We have a couple sound bites.
The first of two here.
Even though there's plenty of challenges on our plate, nothing's more important than reversing the damage of the Great Recession and getting folks back to work.
You know, we had to take the country through some pretty tough steps to pull us out of the free fall that we faced when I took off.
When I was sworn in, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month.
The economy was shrinking at 6%.
That's faster than it had in decades.
Today it's growing again.
Today, we've added private sector jobs for five months in a row.
By the way, I want Cookie for tomorrow.
I want the sound bite where he blames Bush.
We not forget who got us in this mess.
And look at this.
When I was sworn in, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month.
And now we've added private sector jobs for five months.
Yeah, 13,000 this month.
260 jobs per state.
And folks, I'm still living rent-free in Obama's head, right?
Space between those two big ears.
Before I was even inaugurated, there were leaders on the other side of the aisle who got together and they made the calculation that if Obama fails, then we win.
That was the basic theory.
They figured if we just keep on saying no to everything and nothing gets done, then somehow people forget who got us into this mess in the first place, and we'll get more votes in November.
That'll make people pretty cynical about politics.
That's it.
That's the sound bite.
Cookie came through.
Sometimes, somehow, people forget who got us into this mess in the first place.
We are dealing with somebody who's going to be not a reality here, not in this speech.
This is a 2007, 2008 speech.
This is frightening stuff.
I'm serious, folks.
Speaking of these, this Russian spy ring in Yonkers, there were Vicki Palaez, Juan Lazaro.
She was a columnist for some newspaper, Spanish language.
Mr. Lazaro taught a course in politics in Latin America and the Caribbean at Baruch College.
His students said he was a professor like none other.
So these Russian spy, these alleged Russian spies, where'd they take their cover?
As journalists and professors, which is all the evidence you need to prove what we have been saying about the media and big education for years.
They are so comfortable in their anti-American ideology that Russian spies go into those businesses to blend in with journalists and professors because they share the same anti-American sentiment.
