he's interviewing rush limbaugh. we will rush out and watch. sean, you are killing at. >> sean: all right, tucker, thank you. great show. that is a long list, by the way. i appreciated. welcome to "hannity." we are broadcasting live in florida, where earlier today, i sat down with the one and only rush limbaugh and his radio studio. he doesn't do a lot of tv interviews. that he interview coming up in just a few minutes. first, our opening monologue. two points that were brought up a rush, and they have to do wit, the nfl, national anthem controversy, we will cover all of that into nights florida live, very important, opening monologue. today, we traveled to florida to talk with the leading conservative voice in the country, the one and only rush limbaugh. th interview is coming up later tonight. but first, we asked rush about republicans in washington and what they must do to finally start passing you, the people's agenda, the president's agenda. let's take a look. >> this is the deal. i really believe it, if for just three months, going forwar

travel down to florida to talk with the leading conservative voice in the country the one and only rush limbaugh. first, we ask rush about republicans in washington and what they must do to finally start passing you, the people's, agenda, the president's agenda. >>this is the deal. i really believe that if for just three months going forward, just three months, gut it up for three months and work with trump on his agenda on cutting taxes seriously across the board, immigration reform, the wall, what have you, getting rid of obamacare, which is an absolute crime what has happened here and what that's going to mean to the country. just try for three months. make it look like there's unity between the president and people of his own party, and they would own washington for a generation. >>great point, three months. this isn't that difficult. and where's the republican vision and action on passing the president's agenda? in other words, where is their spine, backbone inning fighting for their conservative principles, and where's their honor and dignity to keep their words and promises? we've discuss

now is this icon bay of the eco holocaust why it should not be a law against rush limbaugh should we start with washing them out should they be taken up on nuremberg like devastated up holocaust charges this guy is a menace james well maybe you could send him up in that fleece circus you know riding his bicycle or into cheerio that would be kind of interesting. you know i think that reality has many dates of its own and it will compel us to behave in certain ways. you know when the time comes and until that until that moment arrives you know we're just going to continue doing what we're doing that is the old herb stein formulation that you know things go on until i can't and we're going to you know. one thing about what we were talking about five minutes ago about finance and and the oil companies and banking and all that you know these questions are extremely abstruse and hard to understand normally so you know when when they become. normal it's even harder for people to understand what's going on so they're not. yeah and i started jump in james but you know while we're in the middl

rush limbaugh. tonight we will ask him about the deep state, the liberal, main stream, drive-by media as he calls them. robert mueller overreaching russia investigation and so much more. also the president's son eric trump will join us in studio. and i have a special message for all of you tonight. but first, after coming under fire from president trump for disrespecting our flag, our national anthem and the military, the nfl finally appears they may be getting the message. we're going to cover all of this in tonight's very, very important opening monologue. so the president is refusing to back down in his standoff with the nfl over the national anthem protesters. if last night's game is any indication, the league may finally begin to start seeing how offensive and disrespectful the actions of some players, coaches and openers really are to many fans. now during the national anthem of the bears-packers game, players stood. they locked arms. certainly an improvement over what we saw last weekend but a

host: jim says rush limbaugh this wasd that a hope -- irma was a hoax. he said that global warming caused it was a hoax. good morning. caller: i am in east kendall, here sincehave lived 1961. i have experienced all the hurricanes, including andrew. andrew was a lot worse than this storm. storm, andry wide this may be damaging to the southwest coast and tampa because an expert was explaining that the tampa bay water could come out and come back in and rush in and have tremendous sea level rising, but the main thing is to stay in your house or wherever you are and do not be going out and do not be there cables that are loose on the road or anything like that area and host: jose -- like that. host: jose in miami. here is live coverage at this hour. [video clip] >> this has been an issue since last night but getting worse. now, the strength of the wind and water has knocked over a fence. that is not the way the fence is, that was holding up and barricading the parking lot yesterday afternoon. nowadays down and look at the there, water rips along forming wave

here is the final part of our exclusive interview with rush limbaugh.ou are a student of history, a student of politics. you live, eat, and breathe this. have you ever seen deep state leaks, about one a day. the democrats hate the president. the republicans are weak, many of them as you point out, they want him to fail. you have a never trumpers crowd. then ther media. all aligned against him. ever seen it this bad? >> rush: never. never have. people say that nixon was the object of hatred and derision and he was. but i have never seen -- trump is really exposing the people that do run or think they run this country. they are scared to death. they are angry. they feel betrayed by the election. and what they are demonstrating is, they are perfectly willing, perfectly willing to get rid of trump any way they can and overturn the results of the election simply because they don't like it. the way the mueller investigation is, it's a prelude to finding crime or misdemeanor that might beor impeachable or creating a process run. funny about the mueller investi

rush limbaugh has never been one to lead his audience.ways waits to see where they're going and then follows them as he did in his support for the trump candidacy. >> i stop and i ask myself, would trump really do this? does trump not know how he would blow up the entire support base he has by making a deal with chuck and nancy and taking the wall off the table while granting amnesty to anybody? i don't care if it's children, if it's seasoned citizens. i'm asking my -- would trump really do that? is he that -- what? fill in the blank. >> i don't care if it's children. oh, did i mention that rush limbaugh has never had any children? joining us now is tim o'brien of bloomberg view and author of "trump nation: the art of being the donald." a msnbc contributor and back with us is david fro um. i know people look at trump maneuvers and think what is he thinking? what is he up to? my first approach to trump is always, he has no idea what he's talking about and no idea what he's doing. >> he's a profoundly ill informed executive. he doesn't know

the fans agree with rush limbaugh.hey won the game to go on, the players, they want to see them y themselves at the game, and maybe president trump was pushing them into getting into a resolution to the issue.i >> i think that's exactly right, dana. there is a great line in the old play, "the music man," the line is, "you got to know the territory." i will convince these nfl owners and especially roger goodell, they don't know thee territory. they look in the stands and do they see people that came to the game because they wanted someone to preach politics? no. they wanted to eat a hot hog, down some years, they wanted to yell and scream and we are team jerseys, knowing that they never could wear one of those on that field. they are living vicariously through his players and they want to be entertained for a few hours of mayor shelling out some really nice money to be there. what they don't want is someone to disrupt what is a great american experience by disrespecting the flag and trying to bring something into it tha

he's interviewing rush limbaugh. we will rush out and watch.ing at. >> sean: all right, tucker, thank you. great show. that is a long list, by the way. i appreciated. welcome to "hannity." we are broadcasting live in florida, where earlier today, i sat down with the one and only rush limbaugh and his radio studio. he doesn't do a lot of tv interviews. that he interview coming up in just a few minutes. first, our opening monologue. two points that were brought up a rush, and they have to do wit, the nfl, national anthem controversy, we will cover all of that into nights florida live, very important, opening monologue. today, we traveled to florida to talk with the leading conservative voice in the country, the one and only rush limbaugh. th interview is coming up later tonight. but first,

>>that was rush limbaugh with sean hannity earlier tonight.oday president trump got better economic news. the economy actually grew at its fastest rate in two years during his first full quarter in office. but for the most part, if media has ignored that story. and here in the studio, juan williams, up with of my cohosts on "the five." juan, let me start with you. it's frustrating for presidents who get the economic news on the quarter. and then when the economists have time to look at it, they'll revise it. some might argue a that was h g hangover from president obama. >>in response to what limbaugh was saying, i do think there must be some context. earlier this year we learned that median income for american households was at its highest rate ever before he came in. and right now we're seeing the gdp steadily increasing. for the media to say, "all hail president trump," would be a little premature. >>the regulatory culture and how businesses starting last full when president trump won realized that they were going to get some regulatory reli

rush limbaugh. sean, you're killing it. >>thank you, and great show. and that's a long list.e it. welcome to hannity. we are live in florida where earlier today i did sit down with rush limbaugh in his radio studio. that interview coming up in just a few minutes. also, newt gingrich will be with us tonight. our opening monologue will focus on two points brought up by rush. trump's agenda, the nfl. we ever going to cover all that in tonight's florida live very important opening monologue. so today we travel down to florida to talk with the leading conservative voice in the country the one and only rush limbaugh. first, we ask

and some of that is coming from rush limbaugh. let's listen. >> look at, there isn't much conservatives in the establishment. it basically, people who are pro-government, pro-washington. this is the center of the world. they don't want trump to succeed with his agenda. they can't afford that. >> shannon: what do you make of this assertion? other people within the g.o.p. who don't want the president to win? >> i don't happen to be one of those, and i don't know where one is. here is the house, if you take the stress on the productivity on what we have passed, it is one of the most productive congresses. you look at human trafficking, getting all 12 appropriations, did you know the last time a republican majority got all 12 appropriation bills, the iphone wasn't invented. we repealed and replaced obamacare. we now have these people sitting in the senate. so i have that exact same frustration. and i want to work with this president every day. and he has been engaged. he has done everything in his power. and why would the senate to ma

if donald trump can be a divider on racial lines in particular and rush limbaugh has come by this very has donald trump. he has been discriminating against blacks in the real estate business since the 70s. he comes to this that is steeped inside him. the fact he is so animated about this nfl kneeling thing and when it came to waving the nazi flag or killing somebody in charlottesville, he kind of equivocated and was indifferent and they were good people. that's what the message is to the american people. they are kind of seeing what's really matters to him. i think it's kind of sad. >> dana: we'll get to a poll that fox news did in a moment. rueben, let me let you speak. i'll defend president trump in a way. he said this is not about race. this is about standing for the national anthem. the left immediately says it's about race. rueben, what do you think? >> good to be on with you. i think it's a winning issue for president trump. the early polling shows americans are pretty uniform in their belief that people should stand, athletes should stand for the national anthem. this is the wro

what did you make of rush limbaugh saying the g.o.p.ow and he is the only guy i know who has been ambassador to both beijing and moscow. quite an honor for your family and great he is a citizen and your mom is a citizen willing to serve the country congratulations to your family i know you are going through it, too. >> it's a complicated process. look, i think that first of all, as much as i admire russia and we have known each other many years, i think he is a half step behind what's happening. are there some never trumpers? sure, interest r. there some people who cause trouble, sure. let me give you an example. this is the postcard tax form that 85% of americans will be able to file under the new republican tax plan. literally a postcard. now, that was developed by the trump white house by the house republicans and the senate republicans as a team. they launched it this week as a team. i think that they have learned a lot of painful lessons over the last nine months. i think they recognize that all three are relying on each other. tru

heather: we will get you talking and this morning rush limbaugh says when it comes to the anthem protesters are out of their league. >> the owners and the commissioner, i don't know what their individual politics are, i don't think they understand what's happening to them. yoonk they understand what's going on. they think they are relating to the joort of their fan base. they are not. they are driving them away. i hate it i don't want the nfl to get smaller. i don't want them to become insignificant. i don't want it to be taking over by a bunch o with wit bust. use something besides the nfl sideline. use something besides the flag. use something that people use to escape everything left is trying to force on us. rob: amen. i'm so tired of talking about politics and if i go to an nfl game and see it will be such a turn off. we have a poll the head line of it, the poll is the world going to hell in a hand basket or not? and here are some of the numbers as they have come in. heather: democrats say 70% they say yes. but back in october, of 2014, only 48 percent said yes. and then republican

evacuation zone and saying i have been through hurricanes before and i will ride this out like rush limbaugh who is famous as fake news. what would you like to tell those people right now? >> no one in florida that i know have experienced a category five or for making landfall. labor day storm of 35 and then camille in 69 and andrew in 92 and andrew was a very very small compact category five appeared to what we see here in irma and even though each category five storm is different because of the maximum radius wind and the elements in brings with it, so i guarantee you i don't know anyone in florida that ever experienced a storm like this. >> so they need to get out? >> they need to get out and heed the warnings. >> can you talk about the differences and challenges between harvey and irma? >> harvey was a different storm. harvey was a rapidly intensifying the storm. number one, the intensity came up quickly. it made a impact into port author and basically moved up to the state over five days and stalled out which copious amounts of rain. list over it-- storm is different. the key is when it

. >> i want to play for you 30 seconds of sound from rush limbaugh's program on thursday.ecause it speaks to the concern that you have that he will lose his base. roll that tape. >> i'm not going to give up on trump even if he starts to move to the left to get something done with tax reform. >> i truthfully think he will drain the swamp. and he's showing people that the swamp has nothing to do with party affiliation. >> i think that he's got three sets of heads, pelosi, the democrats and the republicans. i think this is a power that he did. >> everyone i talked to from every walk of life has said pretty much the same thing if trump has to work with democrats to get some of what he wants done, so be it. >> is rush limbaugh correct when he says the sbas fine with it, if this is what it takes to get things done? >> i do think that rush was incorrect when he says that. and he's incorrect on a lot of things. on this, i would say people like mark levin, and others out there that have made a strong statement, sean hannity and others, this base is not something that he has his fin

i truly believe he was an negative influence as .ell as rush limbaugh republicans, don't fully fox newsinto thinking will all be on trump's friend. it will show you who's on whose side and watch very carefully bob corker. host: you don't put them on the list of good republicans earlier? caller: absolutely not. host: bob corker announcing his second term. congress running today. -- steve bannon introduced roy moore at his victory then last night. here is what steve bannon had to say. steve bannon: i told you last night a vote for judge roy moore is a vote for donald j. trump. thank the good folks in alabama for supporting donald trump and voting for judge more. last night come we talked about starting a revolution with judge more's victory. the senator stepped down and will not run for reelection. you will see state after state after state. people do not need to raise money from the elites, the fatcats in washington dc, and silicon valley. host: the latest effort to repeal and replace the affordable care act. the phones are yours to talk about it. independent line. caller: can you hear me? i

rush limbaugh said the nfl has now become a tool of the left. how sad is this? it's true, watch. >> we're dealing with liberalism here and we're dealing with the left. it is not how they operate. everybody knows how much i love the nfl and how bigger than life it's always seemed to me. it doesn't seem bigger than life. it just seems -- it seems like a tool now. it has become a tool. i don't mean slang for fool. it has become something being used by the political forces in the left to advance their agenda, which is an anti-american agenda. >> sean: here is what we all need to ask ourselves tonight. what are the goals of the nfl national anthem protestors? anybody know? is anyone going to talk about the nfl's inconsistencies and free speech and hypocrisy and the billions of hard-earned tax dollars that go to the nfl so they can build their stadiums and the money that the league literally was taking from the military so the league can honor the vets they are being paid to honor them? you know what? that was before they were publicly shamed. so who are the divisive

is it rush limbaugh? anne kou coulter? who has the feel for this? does the president have more of a hold on them and they will trust him? okay. trust him on daca? >> remember how the president built that base. he built it partly on a very strong sense of salesmanship in what he would do achieve. that rally, i alone can fix it. it wasn't so much about hard policy. but this is where policy kind of comes in. i don't know that, that these are an apt comparison. look at the people who get fired up at the rally. they weren't necessarily just fired up over the president's promises. they were fired up over the now president getting people to set torches and pitchforks on nbc's katy tur, for example. i will be interested to see whether this is a time he realizes, oh, i'm not quite sure how to navigate this. maybe nav -- no. well, maybe, chuck -- maybe he's figuring it out in terms of making this agenda come together. >> but every time we think this, every time. i mean, i think in some ways, it's usually trump himself who changes the narrative. no matter what

take a listen to rush limbaugh on all of this. >> we have got trump dealing with chuck and nancy.verybody appears to be honky dory and happy wit. not all of trump's voters are happy with it but apparently 67% fine and dandy with whatever trump does here. that's what the caller said yesterday. they trust trump. if trump's doing this, then there is a long range reason that we don't know yet. they have total implicit trust. >> does that match your reporting? >> with regards to his supporters? >> yeah. and the feeling inside the white house that, you know, okay, it might upset congressional republicans but they're good otherwise. >> well, in terms of the people inside the white house who are certainly not at all thrilled with regards to the supposed deal framework that the president struck with democratic leaders includes the senior policy adviser, steven miller who is an immigration hard liner and a complete hawk on these issues, and wishes daca was something that the brushed into the ash heap of history, as we reported at the daily beast, yesterday, there were other senior aides in

. >> out spoken con seb activities and culture rush limbaugh are facing backlash over comment they made by hurricane irma they sai said miami was suffering from light rain and lump baw said they were he exaggerating it was expected to make landfall as category 5 and weak heened to category 4 and causes dozens of deaths and catastrophic damage. >>> espn put out a state dedenoupsing a series of tweets by sports anchor jhamiel hill. she went on a tirade about president trump calling him white supremist sent saying he was unfit to be president. in the statement from espn he she says hill realizes her comments were not apresent and do not represent the position of espn. >> apple users can finally get their first look at the latest smart phone. the iphone x highly anticipated hope to debuted yesterday and 8 plus. the iphone 10 comes with speciality recognition technology and wireless ch charging and new tech toy will cost you $999. 1,000 bucks right. >> and the pro got ball hall of fame announce candidates of 2015 a favorite is the none other than former rave entrees lewis. he was front man f

rush limbaugh is right. who elected him were a lot of democrats in rust belt states, tired about the democrats not doing anything about real immigration reform or protecting the borders. >> let me ask you both. do you think president trump truly wants to help out these people who came here because their parents brought them here? >> i'm convinced. >> do you believe the democrats wants to help these people whose parents brought them here? >> i truly this is to do everything they can to hurt donald trump. >> they're not here to help those people? >> i think they're playing political with this. >> i don't think president trump is. >> you're hopeless. thank you. you're a good guy. at least you have a heart and a belief system. you think everything is political. >> i think those two are. >> they are ursually. >>> coming up, new reporting out this evening that president trump demanded -- you won't believe this -- that attorney general jeff sessions with him from the beginning he demanded he resigned after trump le

what is rush limbaugh talking about? >> no idea nor does rush know what he's talking about?r day says it's up to the republicans in congress to deliver this bill. i'm supposed to sign the stuff showing up. and, you know, the problem they have is, lawrence, you worked on the issues on the hill, too. this legislation's hard. it's complicated. requires presidential leadership. you know, president obama called senators and congressmen every hour to get the affordable care act. and before cassidy/graham went down, donald trump tweeted about the nfl. and they're never going to get anything done in this congress if that's the kind of presidential, quote, leadership they see from donald trump. >> and, ken, the people who are talking about going to war with the congressional leadership, the republican establishment, do they consider that that might actually lead to democratic wins in the house and the senate? >> i don't think they really care. for them it's all about -- >> can we stop you for a second, ken? here's the part. why would they not care? why would it not be at least import

. >> bret: here is how rush limbaugh characterized it today. >> what trump did today via sessions, it'slmost along the same lines as pulling out of the paris accords. they didn't think it would happen. trump is not this callous, not this coldhearted. trump knows his base and he knows the impact all of this has had on the american economy, american jobs. he is following through on one of his most predominant campaign commitments. >> bret: is this a baseplate or is it because of the lawsuit that they truly believe they couldn't uphold it or defended in court. >> i think it's both of them. jonah is right. it's -- a kind of roles a grenade into congress because it's going to be difficult for congress but that goes to show it's a lobar that we are asking of them. it's amazing to see, send to people on both sides come out and say this program is so good. we've got to do something. we want to help these people. where have you been for the past ten years? it's important to remember especially among democrats, you had barack obama saying it's cruel. you have chuck schumer talking about how it's

listen to rush limbaugh. so obvious.t is caller: -- host: james in maryland this morning.ore from mark zuckerberg, defending the political engagement that does happen on facebook and what facebook is doing in the future. [video clip] >> people had billions and billions of interactions and open discussions on facebook that may have never happened before online. candidates had direct channels to communicate with millions of citizens, and campaigns spent millions organizing and advertising online. we organized get out the vote efforts to help as many as 2 million people registered to vote might not have voted otherwise. many of these dynamics were new in this election and at a much larger scale than had ever been seencene -- ever been before in history. we are in a new world. it is a new challenge for internet communities to have to deal with nationstates attempting to subvert elections. if that is what we must do, we are committed to rising to the occasion. our sophistication and handling the stress is growing quickly. -- these threats is growing quickly. we will do our part

on thon the other hand, other fs on the populist right, rush limbaugh, have been cautiously supportiveso, you know, i think it will be very interesting to see which was the dog and which was the tail, so to speak, when trump and breitbart were working together. was it -- was breitbart popular because people like trump, or was trump popular because people like breitbart? and if it's the former, then it's breitbart that has more to lose from this than trump does. >> erica, it's not just immigration that leader mcconnell has to deal with. he's trying to move something on tax reform. how does this all play out on capitol hill this fall? >> well, it just creates an enormously complicated stew with really unpredictable outcomes on various fronts. i mean, the deal that was just last week, you know, kicking everything into december as far as spending and debt ceiling, even though the debt ceiling may end up, you know, going farther, democrats have leverage on these issues. and they want to use that leverage to get the d.r.e.a.m. act. i mean, it's because paul ryan can't go to the white house w

rush limbaugh said, and i don't usually agree with statements that mr. limbaugh makes, nobody is going to win anything by deporting a bunch of kids that we let in, whoever did or ba ma, whatever if we can't get strict enforcement of existing immigration law, he went on to say, then the dreamer thing may be an acceptable payoff, he said. i don't think this is a payoff, this is respond -- respond, that's why the overwhelming majority of the american people support the dream act. as i said -- as i say, over eight out of 10 americans. so i ask the majority leader, i know that was a relatively long statement. s that critical issue, as i have expressed in private to the majority leader, because we have but five months left to go. but hopefully we can do this in this work period and to allay the fears that these young people have who are making such positive contributions to america, to their communities, and to their families. so i'm hopeful we can resolve this issue as soon as possible. i yield to my friend the majority leader. mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentl

radio talk show host rush limbaugh sounding off against the left and growing influence in the nfl. >>wants to -- cause great damage to the nfl. they don't like displays of prism, strength, rugged individualism. that's why the players are being used. i don't want the nfl to get smaller. i don't want them to become i object significant. i don't want it to be taken over by a bunch of wusses. i don't want it to be taken over by left wing social justice causes. todd: is he right? is the left damaging professional football? here to discuss fox news contributor richard fowler and host for the blaze lawrence jones. gentlemen, great to see you here on a saturday morning. lawrence, i will kick it off with you. is rush right? >> he is trite a certain extent. i have think the original protest, a lot of the people condemn the nfl, especially with you this colin kaepernick that depicted cops as pigs. amp the president's comments became about the president and they took him on, i think they didn't expect the reaction a lot of these nfl athletes don't know the politics of things. and they overplayed

is it trump himself or is it folks like rush limbaugh, ann coulter complaining about this?that is a fascinating political test. >> chuck, you traveled to the u.s. virgin islands to see the damage firsthand. what did you see on the ground? tell us about it. >> this is what it looks like when a category 5 hits some place. irma weak weakened just before it hit. pure devastation. not a single structure on st. john was left untouched by damage. only a handful of light poles weren't broken in half. we're down there bringing a little attention. these are americans. you think about debris removal. it's not like you can truck it out. you have to find barges, put it on barges and ship it out. they need physical labor, people that can put up light poles, that's the challenge that's ahead and i think part of this is bringing more attention to texas and florida. so many more people impacted there. >> moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd, thanks for your perspective. chuck will be sitting down with senators bernie sanders and tom cotton. "meet the press" comes your way at 10:30 here
