Senator Grassley Grills McCabe in Rarity for a Republican
RUSH: You don't see Republicans in the Senate fighting back like this. Three cheers for Grassley, of all people.

ABC Builds a New Set to Cover George Stephanopoulos’ Tiny, Short, Dangling Little Boy Legs
RUSH: On the set of Good Morning America, the four hosts there — Stephanopoulos, Lara Spencer, Robin Roberts and Strahan, they're sitting there at a table with no front on it, and three of the four are normal size or very tall.

The Big Nothingsky Won’t Distract Me From Health Care, Other Issues
RUSH: I made mention of this yesterday during the two or three minutes I wasn't talking about Trumpgate about how the fastest way Trump could move past all of this is just to get this stuff done.

RUSH: I tell you what, I didn’t ever do one, but if I had had to do a doctoral thesis to get my Ph.D., that’s what show prep today would have, or did, probably feel like.

RUSH: I think this is what passes for public education today in a lot of classrooms. On purpose. The purpose is to propagandize you or to indoctrinate you, not to teach you, and there certainly probably wasn't any critical thought taught. Sounds like you held up well, though. I appreciate the call.

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.
