RUSH: You know, there's so much news about Ukraine. I was sitting here telling Mr. Snerdley today, “Why don't we make it the 58th state?” For crying out loud, it seems like everything is going on Ukraine. And you know what it's all about? It's all about money. If you think ideas matter in politics,…

RUSH: We'll start in Albuquerque. This is John. Great to have you with us at the EIB Network. Hello. CALLER: Great to be here, Rush. Thank you very much. Uh, KFK from -- RUSH: You bet, sir. CALLER: KFK from ABQ, retired police officer. RUSH: (silence) CALLER: Longtime listener, first-time caller. RUSH: Wait. Did you...?…

RUSH: My friends, I do not accept, as a general rule, offers of awards. I've always had a problem accepting awards. I don't really know all the reasons why. They just seem in many cases -- well, I can't count the number of times I've been offered an award, but that I have to show…

RUSH: Snerdley, the Official Program Observer, is asking, “What would happen if enough Republicans did join Democrats and voted to remove Trump from the presidency, go ahead and convict him.” I think it'd be the end of the Republican Party, and whoever is left to pick up the pieces would be starting from scratch. But…

RUSH: Folks, here is further evidence that Stand Up for Betsy Ross isn't going away. It's only going to grow. And, by the way, Kathryn's gonna shoot me here, but we're working on so many new ideas, design ideas and so forth, that we have in the hopper now. Not ready to announce anything, but…

RUSH: Tim in Mansfield, Ohio. Hi. Great to have you here, Tim. CALLER: Hey, good afternoon. I have a little trivia question. What is the only difference between President Trump and Rush Limbaugh? Answer: "Trump was willing to take a pay cut." RUSH: (laughing) I was gonna say, "One's president and one's not." CALLER: Correct.…

RUSH: As you stand back and you objectively observe the current U.S. Drive-By Media news cycle, there's some things that stand out. Almost all of the Drive-By Media Democrats and NBA players and owners -- almost all -- are in support of Communist China and against free speech. And we're told, "Well, the ChiComs have…

RUSH: I got an email during the break, changing subjects now because once I've said something about something, there's nothing much left to be said. “Dear Mr. Limbaugh, you have not mentioned Trump and Turkey and Syria and the Kurds.” How do you know? How does anybody know I haven't mentioned that? Only somebody that…

RUSH: Okay, Jim in Bedford, Ohio. Great to have you, sir. Hello. CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I was just wondering, with this whole Biden mess, we haven't really heard from Obama. I mean, where is he? He's not gonna back his own man on this whole escapade? RUSH: No, he's not going to. CALLER: It…

RUSH: Then we go to California, the news out of California. Californians have voted for Democrats for two or three decades now, and these Democrats have passed laws and have ignored basic forest management to appease rabid, insane, lunatic environmentalist wackos, and now they're facing the prospect of their power being cut off before fires…

RUSH: I really hope, ladies and gentlemen, that you have a significant amount of appreciation for Donald Trump and the way he is dealing with this latest scam of an effort to get rid of him, this phony continuation of an original hoax impeachment move by Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. For practically the entirety…

RUSH: One way to look at this, folks, with this latest effort the Democrats are making, a continuation of the original script to reverse the election results of 2016, Democrats are killing democracy in darkness. They're doing it in darkness. They want to do this impeachment behind closed doors headed up by Pencil Neck. They…
