Time Text
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Looking forward to chatting you up this hour.
800 28282.
In one week, be celebrating our 28th anniversary here.
And I'll tell you why we make a big deal of it, folks.
It's something that uh that I'm very proud of because it's unheard of.
The number of people, the number of radio shows in in this business that have been around, well, anywhere close to this length.
It's very rare.
And it's I mean, the standard rule of thumb in broadcasting is that there's so much change and so much turnover and so much Evolution that it there's this natural recycling of things.
Um of the badges of honor in broadcasting is being fired.
If you haven't been fired, you haven't actually done anything.
It's strange, and a lot of businesses get fired.
It's a black mark forever.
Uh in this business, it's well, it's not great, but don't misunderstand, but it's certainly it it's not limiting.
Um, as it is in in other things.
But 28 years uh with one radio show at number one for all of those years is a is a rare thing, and it's all owing to you being there.
And so that's why whenever one of these anniversaries comes up, uh we at least acknowledge it.
Um it is something that is uh unique for this business.
What is this?
Fox News is reporting that uh that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks has emails from Hillary that will be next in relation to this DNC business.
I checked the emails, by the way, always do this, and there's some people, why aren't you making a bigger deal out of that?
Maybe I'm making a mistake.
Um I'm just gonna be honest with you.
None of this is a surprise to me, folks.
That there's collusion between the media and the Democrat Party, that there is corruption in the drive-by media, that the media works hand in hand with the Democrat National Committee to achieve its objective.
Uh it's not news to me.
Yeah, but Rush, you can finally prove it.
I have I've there the proof's been there in the natural existence every day of what happens.
The proof for me is there every day.
I uh the emails are just icing on the cake.
And I'll tell you one of the bullet points to all this, or one of the exclamation points, is really how little coverage in detail this is getting.
Outside of places like this or Fox News, CNN's just doing enough of this to say they did.
But they're not going in.
I mean, they're not bringing in people from the politico and all these other places and asking, did you really submit your stories to the DNC before your editor?
They're not doing any of that.
CNN's not calling Chuck Todd, say, Chuck, will you come over for an interview and explain to us how it is that if a Democrat National Committee wanted something to happen on Meet the Press, it happened, could you come over?
They're not doing that.
But we know it does.
People chalk it up to bias.
Yeah, there's bias.
But this did look, the Democrat Party, the progressive movement, the left, has corrupted everything and politicized everything that it's touched.
And it has had as an objective to militarize all of these institutions, institutions, and and incorporate them into their drive to conquer the America, which is what they are trying to do.
They're trying to conquer this country and take it over from the forces of America's founding.
And the media is just a branch office.
The media is the is is is one of the wings of a Democrat National Committee.
Let's go to the audio sounds.
I'll show you what I mean here.
I'm just gonna go back and play some things that I have said.
You've heard some of the stuff.
Let's review some of the things that have been discovered.
And again, Julian Assange, who I think is still holed up in the Ecuadorian assembly over in uh embassy in London.
That's where he's hiding out.
He says they've they've got much more.
This is just 19,000 emails.
They've got more, and the next drop will show Hillary's involvement.
And I'm sure this the timing of this is purposeful because Hillary just made a speech to the VFW and a 60 minutes appearance where she said she didn't know anything about any of this.
She had no idea this was going on.
And so it's just so far beneath her on a day-to-day basis.
This kind of stuff is so insignificant.
I couldn't be expected to know all of this was going on.
I got I had two important stuff to do.
Well, apparently Assange heard that, and the next drop will show her intimate involvement.
Oh, it's not DNC.
It's it's emails from her server.
Okay.
Well, whatever.
It still holds.
We're not sure what Assange was talking about.
I uh well, when you told me that Assange does a drop of Hillary emails, we're talking about DNC, I thought that's what it would be of the DNC.
Hillary.
Right.
Next release is Hillary emails.
Well, I'm just telling you I thought it would be about the DNC, because that's the Hillary server stuff is old news now.
But anyway, what whatever it's going to be, she's out there saying she didn't know or she didn't think he was wrong, whatever, but he's got something that he's going to drop.
And Assange, by the way, it was maybe a month ago now, but I remember this guy saying, it may have been shortly after the Comey press conference, but he said he's got enough to get her indicted.
I remember him saying this as a as a I guess maybe a promo piece.
But Julia Nassange said that WikiLeaks, maybe it was before the Comey press conference, has enough to get her indicted.
So maybe that's what's coming.
Bernie's supporter and delegate almost wasn't allowed to attend a DNC fundraiser.
DNC Party with the Washington Post wasn't a joint fundraiser.
DNC collecting Bernie voters' data for their database.
Political reporter agrees to let DNC review article about Hillary fundraising before publishing it.
I think the collusion between reporters and the DNC and Democrat candidates and Democrats that run committees.
I think reporter collusion is happening all over the place.
DNC planned messages about Bernie being an atheist to hurt his chances of winning.
Wasserman Schultz, it's silly that Sanders thinks of these are all subjects of emails.
These are emails that have been released by WikiLeaks.
So there was a Debbie Wasserman Schultz email.
It's silly that Bernie thinks he's going to be president.
Email said the whole thing's rigged, that Bernie was never going to be president.
Which we all knew.
There was no way Bernie Sanders was ever going to get the Democrat nominee.
No matter what happened.
He was out there for a host of other reasons.
So let's go to some audio sound bites.
We will start with October 16th, 2015, talking about the Democrat presidential primary race.
Now just compare what I've told you, what you hear me saying here.
This is nine months ago.
And it's just been confirmed in this WikiLeaks email dump.
It was rigged for Hillary.
I mean, the whole purpose of that from the Democrat National Committee standpoint was to grease the skids for Hillary for the rest of the race.
Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz and her associates in the express purpose of this thing is to get Hillary the nomination finally, make sure that there's not some slick guy that comes along again like Obama did in 2008.
And that's why they rigged it.
They thought they had it rigged in 2008.
Remember, 2008 was supposed to be her coronation.
And everything was going along just fine until Obama decided he wanted to run.
And then things they couldn't control happened.
And Hillary found out that Democrats are more romantically attached to racial injustice than they are feminism.
So all it took was a young, clean, articulate black guy to come along, and the Democrats and the media and many elected Democrats said, you know, that versus feminism?
Huh.
Well, we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll take, we'll take the African American guy any day.
And they rallied behind him, and that was that.
So this, 2016, was set up so that no matter what, if any surprise popped up, that surprise wasn't going to have a snowball's chance in two hells of getting a nomination.
And the surprise was crazy Bernie.
I obviously think they were also worried about Elizabeth Warren.
But regardless, the whole thing's been rigged.
And not just with the superdelegates.
That's a big part of it.
Okay, this next is February 10th of this year.
And I said this after Bernie won New Hampshire.
And the DNC emails released by WikiLeaks revealed that it's actually true.
They were plotting an attack on Bernie's religion.
They were planning to say that he was not an authentic Jew.
Do you know that Bernie Sanders is the first Jewish candidate to win a major presidential primary?
You had heard that.
But here's the point.
Hillary Clinton tried to stop the first African American from being elected president.
Now she's trying to stop the first Jewish American from being elected president.
What a bigot!
Doesn't Mrs. Clinton realize she should get out of the way and let these minorities finally have their shot at things.
She tried to stop the first black president, he won.
Now she's trying to stop the first Jewish president, and he just mopped the floor with her.
Now I was being a little funny there, and admittedly it's funny.
I mean, here she is as a bigot denying all these minorities their chance of the big day in the sun, but it was true.
And the DNC emails reveal that they made a point, they had a strategy.
The DNC coordinating with the media and amongst themselves to do stories.
I mean, you can't do this without colluding with the media.
I mean, you can you can send out a press release if you want, but that's not how it's done.
Somebody at the DNC calls a willing and complicit reporter and whispers.
Yeah, you know what, he's not really an authentic Jew.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
He doesn't talk about it because Democrat, Jew, that ought to be a big deal, but Bernie, he doesn't care.
He's agnostic, he's atheist, whatever he is, he's not a really Jew.
So the seed's been planted.
The reporter starts out, got the premise, starts running it down.
It it amplifies because the reporter tells other people, and then you get your story.
And that's how it's done, and that's how it happened in this case.
Uh March 14th of this year.
Protests at Trump rallies.
I made it a point of telling everybody that these rallies were actually riots that were bought and paid for and planned by the DNC.
Make no mistake.
This is all on the Democrats.
I think it's unfortunate there are people trying to blame Trump for this.
This is never traditionally never been a Republican problem.
Republican protests don't happen to your chagrin.
How many of you have called me over the years wishing you would see some?
You're tired of the Democrats getting away with the protest march.
You're tired of the Democrats exclusively being able to shut down events.
And make no mistake, this was Black Lives Matter.
This was move on.org.
This was a rent a mob.
This mob had been bought and paid for.
They were there for the express purpose to shut down the Trump appearance, and they were celebrating after they succeeded in doing so.
The event had not even started.
There wasn't a Trump supporter that did a thing to any of these people.
They showed up.
This is all bought and paid for by the Democrat Party.
Now, this is one of Two places, either Southern California or Chicago.
I think it's Southern California when this was the case, but it happened in Chicago too.
But the the email dump from WikiLeaks backs up the fact that the Democrats were strategizing with various protest groups to show up at Trump rallies and shut them down.
Now you might say, well, yeah, Russia's not hard to figure out, but the Democrats were denying it all along.
The Democrats were trying to say that these were Trump protesters don't forget.
The Democrats were trying to say that Trump's protesters are a bunch of sick puppies who are going out there and spitting in people's faces and knocking them in the face and and beating them up basically.
It was Trump people doing it.
That's what the DNC was saying, when in fact the DNC bought and paid for the protesters.
Yeah, it's easy to conclude the Democrats are in collusion here.
The email dump proves it, while the DNC all along, and the media, the media, don't forget the media's right in the media and the DNC were trying to blame all of this unrest on Trump supporters.
They were trying to make everybody think that your average Trump voter was an unhinged anarchist.
When in fact they bought and paid for all of this.
April 3rd of this year.
This and we could have gotten 15 examples of this in the recent past.
These DNC emails are filled with examples of collusion between the Democrat National Committee and the drive-by media.
Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz sends orders and complaints and suggestions to F. Chupp Todd.
The DNC heaps praise on Jake Tamper.
The politico is submitting stories to the DNC in advance of submitting them to his own editor.
And the reason why none of this is a surprise to me is, again, back in April of the late last year, April 2005.
Every damned one of them, every editor, every executive, every producer, every writer, every reporter, every anchor, Democrat National Committee.
So you're not going to talk a Democrat out of being a Democrat.
You're not going to talk a Democrat into being fair.
They are living an illusion each and every day.
They have got the American people convinced that they are true journalists, that they're objective, and they're not biased, and they have no interest in the outcome.
They're just reporting the news.
There isn't even any news anymore.
All there is the daily advancement of the Democrat Party agenda, disguised as news.
So that's April 3rd, 2015.
So I could easily use these sound bites of mine to say that you learned about all this.
If you'd have had the courage to trust me and believe me, you knew this before these emails were dumped.
So these emails essentially confirm every allegation and instinct that I have about these people.
And now, my friends, another obscene profit break coming right back.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, El Rushbow would have my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Here is um Rick and Des Moines in Iowa.
Great to have you here next, sir.
Hello.
Thanks for taking my call, Rush.
The reason I was calling, I kind of was chuckling yesterday watching the DMC.
You know, obviously they couldn't hide this whole email mess, but I figured out how to blame it on Trump.
They started suggesting that Putin was behind it because he wanted to destroy uh Hillary's campaign because obviously it'd be advantageous for Trump to be in there, I guess, in her place.
My fa question about that and the fallacy I find in it is what has Putin not gotten since Obama and Hillary were in office.
That's exactly right.
That is exactly right.
What in the world would Putin be unhappy about?
Why that Obama and Hillary are not snookering Putin.
I mean, he's a good thing.
Well, look, you're right.
It's just a Democrat trick.
It is because Trump's out there.
Trump said, hey, you know, Putin said great things about me.
I like the guy.
School.
Putin understands me.
I I mean, I I was very honored, a world leader of the stature of Putin is saying great things about me.
So the Democrats are saying that Trump and Putin were acting in collusion here.
That it's not really WikiLeaks.
That is Putin who gave the emails to WikiLeaks in order to help Trump.
Because for some reason, Putin is scared of Hillary.
Hillary with the plastic red reset button.
So as uh as Rick points out here, I mean, the Democrats have given Obama has given Putin whatever he wants.
Remember it was Obama shortly before 2012 elections who told Medvedev, hey, hey, just tell Vlad to be patient.
When I win re-election, I'll have all kinds of flexibility.
We're talking about nuclear disarmament and so forth.
But the trick is that the Democrats want to deflect any attention from the contents of the emails and try to get you to believe that the substance is not what's important here.
That what's really important is how did this happen.
You are supposed to ignore all of this collusion.
You're supposed to ignore that the DNC and the media were jointly connected in an effort to destroy the Bernie Sanders campaign.
That's not important.
No.
What's important is how you found out about it.
And again, it's some dirty trickster trying, trying once again to trick the innocent and well-intentioned poor little Hillary.
What a crock.
I'm going to have to double check this.
I just glimpsed this before the break ran out.
And I can't even tell, you know, it's some Republican poll that showed Ted Cruz's approval numbers within the Republican Party have dropped by half after uh his appearance at the convention.
And when the next break comes up, I'll dig deeper into that and find out if that's actually true.
That's what I read.
That was the opening, but there were some things that followed that.
So, uh, ladies and gentlemen, as you know, as I just mentioned it, one week from today is the 28th anniversary of this program, August 1st, 1988.
So we're going to be starting our 29th here on uh on August 1st.
And I was reading one of our favorite websites today, part of the show prep, Newsbusters from the Media Research Center, and they reprinted excerpts of a blog post from Saturday that appeared at the Washington Monthly.
And here's the headline.
Unhappy anniversary blogger accuses Limbaugh of leaving a sick stain and a loathsome legacy.
And here is what it is.
The Washington Monthly has a different choice for the moment when the GOP truly lost it.
Paul Krugman, they started to say Paul Krugman thinks it's supply-side economics.
When supply side, when Reaganomics became what the GOP was known for, that began its downfall.
That led to two landslide Reagan wins.
But the Washington Monthly has a different take.
A different choice.
For the moment when the GOP truly lost it, and that was August 1st, 1988, when Rush Limbaugh's radio show went national.
By the sheer size of his audience, many millions of Americans have answered yes to Time Magazine's question on the cover in 1995, is Rush Limbaugh good for America.
Of course, liberals say no.
The 28th, this is the Washington Monthly, the blog, the 28th anniversary of that morbid moment will arrive in just a few days.
He said that syndicating, the blog said that syndicating the limbaugh program had been made possible by Reagan's elimination of the fairness doctrine a year earlier.
Limbaugh and his backers had a clear goal of Driving the GOP and America's overall political media culture as far to the right as possible, and sadly they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
Well the left continues, the Democrats, whoever they are, continue to fail to understand how this program began.
I did not have backers.
I had a broadcast executive partner who invested, took a risk in some satellite time that he had been given in his retirement package when he left ABC.
His name was Ed McLarklin.
And he was not a Republican.
I don't even know if he was a Democrat.
He was a broadcaster.
There weren't any backers.
This is a capitalist money-making enterprise.
There isn't any funding here.
Oh, I do think they really don't understand it and just persisted.
You know, they may not.
I I think they may have such a uh two things, such a hatred for capitalism, and therefore a lack of understanding of it, and uh and secondly, a belief in how they function in the real world.
Everything they do is fundraising.
Air America had backers, it was fundraising.
Everything they do is fundraising.
Every enterprise they have is with backers.
Well, this we didn't have any backers.
It was but beyond that, beyond that, th there was this this uh limbo and his backers had a clear goal of driving the GOP.
Nothing could be further from our minds.
Driving the GOP.
I wanted to be a radio guy.
I didn't want to be a party person for crying out loud.
America's overall and wanted accusing us of driving America's overall political media.
They can't to this day, after 28 years, they fail to understand what drove this program.
It was a desire to be a successful media guy.
It was simply that, it was nothing more.
I wanted to be the most popular radio show in the country.
That's all it was, and I had the opportunity to be honest, which meant I could make jokes about liberals, which just wasn't done, and I could be honest about my conservatism, but there wasn't any political agenda here.
This program took everybody by surprise, including us at how quickly it was growing and why.
But they want to make it out to be this brilliantly strategized, flawlessly executed secret plan to take over America's politics in the GOP.
Well, anyway, hang on, because it gets better.
In the view of the Washington Monthly, Limbaugh has left a sick stain and a loathsome legacy, thanks to his poisoning of the Republican Party.
America was unable to lead.
Get this now.
Because of me, America was unable to lead in a bipartisan fashion on such issues as health care reform, gun control, and climate change.
Well, thank God, if I had something to do with stopping all that from happening, then I'll take it.
But note this guy's perspective.
If I hadn't come along, the Republican Party would have gladly helped.
Erased some of the Second Amendment, would have gladly helped national health care and would have easily assisted the notion of man-made climate change.
But I came along and I poisoned everything, and I made it impossible for there to be bipartisanship.
Considering the international get this now, considering the implications of limbaugh thwarting bipartisan success on climate change, it could be argued that Rush Limbaugh largely prevented America from leading the rest of the world in transitioning away from fossil fuels, a transition that could have spared countless lives over the past 28 years.
So you understand that this clown is saying that because I prevented the Republican Party from acting in a bipartisan way to implement Democrat agenda on climate change that people have died.
I have caused people to die.
Because I stood in the way of eliminating fossil fuels.
People are dead because of me.
In this sick, perverted view.
If I hadn't had this show, and if it hadn't gone national, we'd probably have everybody in America agreeing with man-made climate change, and everybody would have agreed long ago we need government-running health care.
And we probably would not have the second amendment.
We would have had gun control, and we would be just on our way to utopia, except for Limbaugh, who came along and saw two other people died.
But he wasn't through.
This guy argued Limbaugh influenced the current GOP standard bearer.
Yes, from the blog, Donald Trump became the 2016 Republican nominee by copying Limbaugh's shtick, appealing to the worst angels of our nature, exploiting extremism, casting scorn upon common sense, prevaricating with pride.
It was limbaugh who removed all traces of logic, reason, decency, civility, and compassion from the party of Abraham Lincoln.
It was Limbaugh who led the GOP towards lunacy, and the party may never ever find its way back.
Why, you know, folks.
If I didn't know any better, these Democrats love the Republican Party.
They thought the Republican Party was the home of logic and reason and decency and civility and compassion all during the Reagan years.
Except I know that's not what they thought.
They they wrote this same kind of stuff about Reagan that they're writing about me now.
Man, look at all I have done.
Look at all the damage.
I'm just a guy on the radio.
And here's this little guy at his blog, probably wondering what it's like to have that kind of power.
Greetings, welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, exploiting extremism, casting scorn upon common sense, and preg prevaricating with pride here behind a golden EIB microphone.
Okay, the situation is worsening for Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.
Now, before I delve into the details of this, let me just opine something.
This is not a nice woman.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not a good person.
She is a mean-spirited, vindictive partisan who is rude and crude and has only gotten away with all of those character traits because she's a Democrat.
And because most of her hatred and extremism has been voiced about Republicans.
And she would still be where she is because of those characteristics had these emails not dropped and had there not been proof.
Because everybody in the DNC knew who she was when they hired her.
And everybody at the Democrat National Committee, Democrat Party, applauds her for what she does.
Sometimes she goes a little bit too far and they'll make a thing about, eh, she might want to walk that back.
But they haven't gotten rid of her for anything she said or done.
They haven't gotten rid of her for any of her partisan behavior, any of I mean, this woman is a routinely accuses people.
She libels and slanders people, not in the legal sense, but she literally is she's just a despicable human being.
And that's why she's been running the DNC.
That's the kind of people they want, talking about Republicans and conservatives.
And she would still be there if it weren't for this drop of emails.
And what is it in the emails?
It's not that she's vindictive or mean.
The reason she's out is because It's now incontrovertibly true that she helped rig the game against Bernie Sanders.
She was put in this job to do that.
She was put in this job to get Hillary Clinton nomination.
Why do you think they schedule these debates on Saturday nights?
Precisely so that nobody would see them because Hillary is so bad at them.
Why do you think they have this ongoing superdelegate arrangement?
I guarantee she was put in this job to do everything that she did.
She's gone because the mask and the camouflage have been lifted.
Most Democrats get to operate undercover like she does.
Most Democrats get the benefit of the doubt every day.
The nicest, the sweetest, the most tolerant, the most compassionate.
She's not tolerant.
She's not compassionate.
She's none of these things that people associate with liberalism in the Democrat Party.
Nice, sweet, tolerant, open-minded.
She's a vindictive, she's just not a good person.
She'd still be there.
Because this is why she was hired, except they don't want to deal with the heat of having it now known by everybody that they, not just her, by the way, the Democrat National Committee working with the Hillary organization and the media.
And she's paying the price for everybody now learning this.
That's why Hillary's hired her.
DNC cancer, Hillary hires her to be a consultant to save her, keep her receiving a paycheck.
She was going to open the convention and close it, but that was it.
But now she's not even going to open it.
They have stripped away from her the privilege of gaveling the convention to order.
And here is part of the reason why.
This morning in Philadelphia, wherever the Florida delegation's staying, whatever motel, they had their delegation breakfast.
And she tried to speak.
I look forward to continuing to represent my constituents in Florida's 23rd congressional district.
And thank all of you.
Thank all of you for your incredible support.
I'm going to continue to make sure that Florida has a strong voice to speak loud and proud on our values.
And you will see me every day between now and November 8th on the campaign trail.
And we will lock arms.
And we will not stand down.
We will make sure that the people of Florida have the priorities that we know we need to accomplish.
Thank you very much, and on to victory!
What you didn't see is that everybody in that room standing up, waving signs for Bernie Sanders and booing her and shouting her down and trying to keep her from speaking and trying to keep her from being heard.
And the Democrats didn't want the entire convention floor doing that tonight.
Because that's what would have happened.
The entire convention floor would have done what you just heard in the Florida delegation breakfast.
She was shouted down.
You should have you should see this.
The camera angle is such you can barely see her head over the podium.
And everybody's standing up and waving signs, and half the signs say something about Bernie Sanders on them.
I mean, it was real disgust.
There's more division in this party than you ever in the Republican Party right now.
But you will not hear that.
And here is this is zeroing in on what was happening in the crowd.
This is just the crowd noise microphone without the microphone from the podium where she was speaking.
That's what she was talking over.
So if you just hear that without her microphone being live, that's what she was trying to talk over.
Carol Costello, CNN is in crisis.
Very, very tough morning here today.
After seeing this, after seeing the Florida delegation delegation basically hound poor Debbie Blabbermouth offstage, off the podium.
They're worried about it all.
It's CNN.
Rather chaotic start to this Democratic convention.
Democrats were hoping that there would be...
unity would be the only word that was used during this convention.
And on the very first day, we have what's happening with Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a distraction, isn't she?
Bernie Sanders has charged throughout the campaign that the DNC was against him, and these leaked emails actually show that.
She couldn't believe it.
Here's somebody involved in the scheme.
A CNN infobabe, part of the scheme to screw Bernie Sanders.
She's not even aware it was happening.
And now she sees Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz get booed out of the Florida delegation breakfast.
Unity.
Very sad.
Oh, she should have seen her.
She was very sad.
She normally laughs, you know, at the end of every sentence, Carol.
There was no laughter here.
Very, very bad.
Very sad.
Very bad.
