RUSH: All right. Richard in Lima, Ohio, nice to have you here.CALLER: Yes, Rush, how are you today? My wife and I were on vacation in 1989 in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, and on the way to the department store, we picked you up on the radio in the car. We had never heard of you before. And we were so impressed, that we have listened to you all the time since. You've been on our trips and when we take our vacations, we always try to pick you up on the radio while on the road or whatever the case...

Mega dittos, Rush.RUSH: Thank you.CALLER: I'm the one listener that knows you're in Family Guy Presents: Blue Harvest.RUSH: Well, thank you for remembering that.CALLER: I stumbled on a possible mission for your Operation Chaos troops. YouTube and the DNC are teaming up again. The chairman, Howard Dean, is asking the question, "Why are you a Democrat in 2008?" He's asking you to submit...

RUSH: Let's talk about China and the ChiComs and the Olympics. Let's try to put some things here in order. As you know the Olympics start August the 8th. The Olympics start on August the 8th and many of the venues in which the Olympic games will be contested will be in the polluted city of Beijing. You have no doubt -- well, maybe you haven't -- the Drive-Bys are running pictures of a polluted, smoggy Beijing that makes Los Angeles on its worst day look like the Cayman Islands. So the ChiComs...

RUSH: This is Elizabeth in Allen Park, Michigan, I'm glad you waited. You've been on hold a long time. Thank you for waiting.CALLER: Oh, Rush congratulations for your 20th anniversary.RUSH: Thank you very much.CALLER: The reason why I'm calling, I happened to watch The View after taking my dog for a walk and Nancy Pelosi was on, and Elisabeth asked her why can't Barack Obama admit that the surge is working? And she goes, "The surge isn't working because Iraqis aren't taking control of their...

RUSH: This is from July 6. This is our old buddy Tammy May from Pleasant Gap, Pennsylvania. Bob Casey, Senator from Pennsylvania, was on the floor of the Senate, and C-SPAN, was covering this. This is during Ben Bernanke's delivery of the Semiannual Monetary Policy Report before the Banking Committee, and this is what Senator Bob Casey said about one of his constituents. CASEY: Tammy May, a single mother of two in Pleasant Gap, Pennsylvania, probably said it best in just one line. I'm quoting...

RUSH: One more comment here, ladies and gentlemen. I talked about this in the opening hour of the program today. As you know, the left is continuing its quest to find the liberal Rush Limbaugh. The latest discovery was announced by the New York Times yesterday in a piece by Jim Rutenberg. Now, apparently Jim Rutenberg went out and found three black talk show hosts whose audiences, if combined, get close to 20 million a week, although they can't be sure, but they think so. This is just the latest...

RUSH: Senator McCain is out there saying the truth about Barack Obama. One of the things that Senator McCain is saying, and he said this last week, he said it's apparent to him that Senator Obama would lose a war in order to win an election. And of course, the Drive-Bys and the Democrats are outraged by this, and they're all coming to Obama's defense. All McCain did was state the obvious. What is truly outrageous about this is it wasn't just Obama. The entire Democrat Party was invested in...

BRETT: Hi, Rush. This is your friend George Brett from Kansas City. Congratulations on 20 years of helping so many of us out here in the country. I know we go back to the late seventies, about 30 years ago when you had that very important job of who was going to throw out the first pitch and sing the National Anthem at Royal games; and every once in a while might have sold some tickets to a group. But you've come a long way. It's been great being your friend and cherish the things that you've...

RUSH: Jim Rutenberg in the New York Times: "The next liberal Limbaugh is actually three black guys. When you add up their audience, it equals 20 million," says Rutenberg. What's the black population in the country, Snerdley, 13% of 280 million people? Take the kids out of that. These three guys are going to have to pretty much have sewn up every black person in the country listening to them. Maybe some of those that aren't black enough might be tuning in as well, the less-than-authentic. What's...

RUSH: As you may know, we are commencing our 20th anniversary week today. The actual 20th anniversary of this program is August 1st, which is Friday. On that day in 1988 we started with 56 radio stations, one of which was WABC in New York, and we actually started there on the 4th of July, so we've already had our 20th anniversary at our New York flagship in New York, WABC, and there were 55 other radio stations, most of them very small, very tiny. As we go through the course of the week, we're...

Story #1: We'll Regret It: Mortgage Bailout Rivals the New DealRUSH: This mortgage bailout. Last time I looked, 95 to 96% of Americans were paying their mortgages. So now we've got a spending bill and a plan and a system behind it that rivals the New Deal in terms of government involvement in people's lives. This is going to come back and bite us in any number of ways. This bailout is an absolute mistake. Both parties are making a mistake on this, but the sad reality is that we are here for one...
