If I lose my mind again and I tell you that I'm thinking of getting married, I want you to put me in a straight jacket and take me to the beach at high tide.

I'm just wondering, folks, if I gave a speech on anti-capitalism, do you think I could be named Person of the Year by 'TIME Magazine?'

There's a part of me that thinks I'm married to the audience, that I'm married to my job, and that this is where I devote 90% of my energy.

The Republican leadership thinks the best way to avoid losing elections is to let the Democrats win every controversial issue.

Every generation thinks the cultural rot during their time is worse than it's ever been. That's not true.

The left puts a lot of faith in a lot of people in the past that were dismal failures that they think are the greatest people who ever lived.

Even when I think I'm wrong I'm right. I am all-knowing.

Barack Obama doesn't think this country should be number one. If it were number 35 it'd be fine with him.

I don't think it is deniable: whenever we, I, conservative media, are really interested in something, the mainstream media purposely avoid it.

I am convinced that, despite what you think of Obama, I don't think Obama has a person-to-person connection with people. I think people love him because of his race and feel sorry for him, object of sympathy. I think people feel he's a victim, he portrays himself as a victim of America; he gets sympathy that way.

I think a lot of people have had their eyes open, shocked that the team they thought they were on didn't exist, and that the games were not being played to win. I guess it's shocking to a lot of people.

There's a reason why young people think what they think. They are taught it. In many cases when they learn at home is erased or countered or overcome.

I just had somebody tell me, "You know, Rush, why the Republicans are so mad at you is because you're not carrying their water anymore. You know, they jealous. They look over at the Drive-By Media and they see the Drive-By Media totally fronting and carrying the water for the Democrats, and they think you used to be on their side. But now you don't carry their water anymore, and that's why they're throwing down on you," and I guess that makes sense. I hadn't considered that as a possibility.

Is it a coincidence that in 1998, Barack Obama talks about a majority coalition of welfare recipients and in 2012 we got a record number of Americans on food stamps while he's president? I don't think it's a coincidence.

In the first place, I don`t think [Donald] Trump has changed that much from what em. I never took him serious highway this [immigration policy].

When you don't behave the way liberals think you should, their effort and their intention to control you compounds.

I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team.

How could Hillary clinton not come off as human! I mean, even Nurse Ratched was human. I don't think people are interested in 30 years of the past, and I don't get this notion of change-maker.

What positive change? Why didn't we hear a word about all of Hillary Clinton's good works for the Clinton charitable foundation? I mean, you would think that's where it would all be.But we didn't hear about it.

People voting for Donald Trump are doing so for a whole lot of different reasons, but I think there is a typical Trump voter. I think they're there for specific reasons.

The media does not act like they ever lose. If Trump wins, their attitude is gonna be, "Well, it's just gonna take us a little longer to destroy him." And they will continue to try to destroy Trump. And they will do it by finding Democrats who think that he deserves to be impeached.

We keep hearing how "qualified" Hillary Clinton is to be president. I think it's kind of like if somebody has to deny they're a prostitute, then there must be some doubt about it.

How does conservatism find its way into the body politic? I think most people actually live their lives that way, but they have been poisoned into not voting that way because the brand - conservatism brand, Republican brand - has been summarily destroyed over the years.

Think of the Republican Party as the opposition to the Democrats. It doesn't exist in California!
