RUSH: Well, lots of exciting stuff going on out there today, folks. The latest from this whole controversy over the pope, and words. There are some things that happen that are simply propitious, and this is one of them. The pope utters words, he quotes an old emperor from many centuries ago, and now the Muslim world is going bonkers, rioting, killing a nun in Somalia, shooting her in the back while she was praying. These Muslim extremists, Islamofascists are proving everything that the pope’s wo...

RUSH: I’m really happy to introduce to you Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who joins us from Washington. The last time I spoke to you, Madam Secretary, was during the 2000 presidential campaign, so it’s long overdue, but welcome to the program here. SECRETARY OF STATE RICE: Well, it’s great to be with you, Rush. I can’t believe it’s been that long. RUSH: Time flies when you’re having a good, good time. SECRETARY OF STATE RICE: (Laughs.) It does. It does. RUSH: Look, I want to get straight t...

RUSH: In Chicago we’ve been following the “living-wage” argument and the Big Box Resolution, trying to keep Wal-Mart stores out of the city. (story) “The so-called ‘living-wage’ ordinance that would have required mega-retailers here to pay their workers higher wages was successfully turned back Wednesday as supporters on the City Council could not muster enough votes to override Mayor Richard Daley’s veto. Daley, who vetoed the ordinance this week saying it would cost the city jobs and hurt peop...

RUSH: From the UK’s Daily Mail: “Men are More Intelligent than Women, Claims a New Study.” It’s by, let’s see… This website prints out in the weirdest way. You never know where the story starts. “It is research that is guaranteed to delight men and infuriate the women in their lives. A controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligent than women. The study, carried out by a man, of course, concluded that men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s on average. Brit...

RUSH: This next story — I’m sure you’ve seen this, heard about it. This is the kind of thing that infuriates me, and I have to tell you, when I watched The Path to 9/11. (By the way, we’re going back to audio sound bites three and four next, Ed.) When I saw all of the hesitation and all the rules and all the regulations that prevented us from taking out Bin Laden or other terrorists, my blood boiled, and now there’s this story in the New York Post today. Taliban — and there’s a picture of it. “T...

RUSH: You know, I’m sitting here, folks, and I’m watching all this self-absorbed remembrances going on in the media today about 9/11, and I promise you we’re not going to do that. I’m not going to bother telling you what I thought on 9/11. It wasn’t about me. There’s one thing that strikes me. It just hit me like a bolt of lightning this morning as I’m watching this stuff. There is one day a year where the Democratic Party and the American left admit that 9/11 happened, and it’s 9/11, it’s today...

RUSH: Well, in the trade paper Variety, the movie and television industry newspaper, the possibility has been posed that Disney will totally scrap the movie, The Path to 9/11, that Iger is not happy with it, and just may broom the whole thing. I don’t know if that will happen, but I’ll tell you what has happened here is so eye-opening and illustrative that I wish it were self-explanatory to a lot of people, but sadly it probably isn’t. What happened yesterday is that the Senate Democrats, a bunc...

He said, “By the way, they talk about this Great Recession like it fell out of the sky. Like, ‘Oh, my goodness!’ Like, ‘Where did it come from?'” and he looked over at Ryan and said, “It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card at same time, put a prescription drug plan on a credit card, and a trillion-dollar tax cut for the very wealthy!

I also told you because I am in touch — I am poor when I’m in New York — I do not have a DVD player. I don’t. My apartment’s got an old media room in it, it’s got a laser disk player in it, but it doesn’t have a DVD. Well, actually it has a DVD player in it, but the TV doesn’t work.

Now, they’re a couple of relics, but they are the leaders of the anti-war movement in Hollywood, and they’re still influencing young actors and actresses, and they are admitting they don’t like this at all. They don’t like this Syria business. They don’t like what’s going on in Libya. They don’t like Obama’s foreign policy at all. But they will not go public with it, and Asner admitted ...

A bunch of lies and a bunch of distortions out there. This historical perspective on America I thought was quite necessary also to inform you that there is a religious test.

RUSH: I have been struck by something. You know, after the 59 Tomahawks were launched into Syria, there were a bunch of Trumpists, famous Trumpists who were not happy. They began tweeting immediately: “Trump said he would never do this. This is not America first. This is not putting America first. This is not making America great again. Trump said he wouldn’t be doing these kinds of military interventions anymore.” So I began to think, is that true? Did Trump campaign frequently, reliably promis...
