Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Fighting Back
RUSH: President Trump tweeted that Democrats were threatening to shut down the government and hold the military hostage over illegal immigration.

White Woman of Privilege Tells Hospitalized Black Icon to Resign

Trump’s Agenda Triumphs as the Opposition Implodes and Calls Him Delusional
RUSH: The entirety of the Drive-By Media teetering on the brink of ruin, and it is Trump who is delusional, it is Trump losing his mind. No. These people are losing theirs. Cannot impress upon you how none of them ever dreamt wildly that anything like this could ever happen, no matter who was elected president. No one could have predicted this wild year. But I predicted the Senate would end up voting for the Trump tax bill.

I don't mean Millennial female reporters. I'm talking about the Democrat Party and the American left at large.

The Left Erased Morality and Created a Culture of Depravity
RUSH: For the last 50 years, if not longer, there's been an attack on that whole premise of right and wrong and who gets to define it. And the left has lived and died with the premise that nobody but they or them get to define it, and it's an individual choice.
Why I Don’t Often Tell You to Call Congress
RUSH: I made it a point when this program started not to use activism. I was not the guy telling you to cut up your credit cards and send 'em to Mobil or Exxon.

The Democrats’ CFPB Slush Fund
RUSH: It was typical caca from the Democrat Party. What it really was: a pass-through. It was a way to get money to left-wing special interest causes. The way it did it was via fines.
“Flirty Business” Could Come Back to Bite Geraldo

Liberals Throw Up Their Hands as Moore Pulls Away in Polls
RUSH: Emerson College poll shows Roy Moore leads by six in Alabama. There's another poll that's showing Roy Moore's lead continues now. And it's fascinating to me. If you look at many political blogs, if you look at the FiveThirtyEights, if you look at the big data analyst sites, they're now almost throwing their hands up in defeat and despair, suggesting that it's impossible for Roy Moore to lose now.
Our 2017 Christmas Ornament Is a Work of Art
RUSH: We’ve gone all-in on the Christmas tree ornament this year, in honor of almost 30 incredible years on the radio. We commissioned a wonderful American company in a small town in Pennsylvania to handmake these hand-forged special edition Rush Limbaugh EIB Christmas ornaments.

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.

Establishment Gobsmacked! Lauer Joins Ash Heap of Democrat Sexual Predators — and Trump’s Still Standing!

Audio Sound Bites: Drive-Bys in Total Meltdown
RUSH: You need me to translate this for you? Ha-ha-ha-ha. "Damn it! He did it, he got away with it, and, by God, we're gonna keep bringing it up until he bites the dust!
