Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Throw The Book
RUSH: Last week, inside the Capitol as President Trump was walking to meet with Senate Republicans, a protester emerged from a group of reporters in a “secure” area. He shouted “Treason!” and threw Russian flags at Trump.
Mick Mulvaney Explains Who Really Pays Taxes — And Why Every Tax Cut Can Be Called a “Tax Cut for the Rich”
RUSH: Try this, folks. Ninety-five percent of all taxes are paid by the top 20%. That is an all-time high… There simply isn't any truth to the notion that the rich are not paying their fair share, and there isn't any truth to the notion that the middle class are paying most of the burden.
The Real Collusion: Democrats and Russia
RUSH: You knew all of this that's now in the Drive-Bys three days ago. You actually knew it before that because I've been telling you the truth about this dossier for months. Now that it's been confirmed, the rats are scurrying and trying to make sure the light of exposure does not hit them.
Leftist Executives Are Running the NFL Into the Ground
RUSH: This league doesn't get it! They do not. They're run by a bunch of left-wing execs, many of whom have never been in football before. They come from marketing and retailing. There are some women in ranking positions of marketing and so forth in the NFL. The PR department is all former Obama and Clinton. It's not surprising to me.
Young Student Gets Limbaugh Lesson on the Minimum Wage
RUSH: What happens when the minimum wage is raised arbitrarily on the command of government is that people lose their jobs. More people end up out of work, and the resulting increase in the minimum wage is not enough to counterbalance that at all.
Virginia Shock Poll: Gillespie Leads Big
RUSH: I would just say Gillespie is running as a Trumper on balance. He's not running as a Never Trumper. He's not running as what you would think an establishmentarian would be running as.
Dazzling 12-Year-Old Takes Hillsdale Course on the Constitution
RUSH: It's amazing that she is 12 years old and taking a college online course on the Constitution. That blows my mind.
Apple’s Brilliant iPhone Decoy Pricing
RUSH: I think decoy pricing is brilliant in its psychological scope. It doesn't work all the time, but in that example I gave you of magazine subscriptions, guaranteed. In fact, it's an actual example from The Economist… They started with print only — nobody buys print only unless you're 75 years old.
Are the Never Trumpers Turning on Mueller?
RUSH: Why would they want Mueller to resign? I'll tell you why. Mueller is hip deep in this uranium business, having been the director of the FBI during a portion of the Obama administration, and the whole Russian thing is a hoax. There wasn't any and hasn't been any, and there will not be any to be found regarding Trump collusion with Russia.
Kimberley Strassel Always Comes Up with a Unique Take
RUSH: Strassel here says that the Fusion GPS saga isn’t over. The Clinton-DNC funding is but a first glimpse into the shady doings of this oppo research firm. And that’s exactly what they are.
Drive-Bys Do Everything They Can to Excuse Democrat Dossier Lies
RUSH: When you hear this as opposed to read it, it becomes even more ridiculous.
Democrats Must Demonize to Survive
RUSH: They are always gonna need demons. They're gonna need devils. They're gonna need bad guys to blame everything on as a means of convincing people to vote against Republicans and conservatives, because what the Democrats ultimately admit is that they do not have enough reasons to offer people to vote for them.
Did Liberals Ruin Fantasy Football?
RUSH: Liberals don't like football to begin with. All they can do is, you know, you create it, you and your guys create it, and they look at it and they resent you enjoying it, and they resent you having a good time, so their objective is to come screw it up for you. And it sounds like you've let them get away with it.
Rush 24/7 Stack of Stuff
RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I go to prep the show.
