Rush Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh shocked listeners this week by warning the Iranian government's hoped-for "12th Imam" is "equivalent to the Antichrist."
Limbaugh made the comments in a discussion about the prospect of Iran using a nuclear weapon against other Muslims. A caller protested an Iranian nuclear attack would likely kill "just as many Arabs as Israelis."
However, as Limbaugh noted, the Iranian government doesn't have any solidarity with Saudi Arabia, the Palestinians or Sunni Muslims except as a tool to use against Israel.

In Limbaugh's words: "This is Shiite versus Sunni. It's an argument within Islam."
On a less serious note, Limbaugh mocked Hillary Clinton's staffers after they warned a New York Times reporter not to use "sexist" words when writing about her: "'Polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere.' These are coded sexist words, and the Clinton campaign is gonna be calling the media out on them. And we're not through. ‘Ambitious.' Ambitious! You cannot refer to Mrs. Clinton as ambitious. That is coded sexism. Women are supposed to be like Ann Romney: Lazy and eating bonbons all day, or whatever you do with bonbons. You do eat bonbons, don't you? What are bonbons anyway? I keep hearing about them. (interruption) That's what I thought (Free audio)."
Michael Savage
This week, Savage celebrated 21 years on the air.
In a special mid-week program, he aired classic clips from "The Savage Nation," and told listeners how he got his start in radio.
"Ever since the 1970s, I'd published books about health and nutrition. When I went on tour to promote these books, talk show hosts would tell me again and again that I had a great voice and a great persona for radio.
"Finally in the early 1990s, I got so angry at the political situation, I decided to take them at their word so I could have an outlet for my ideas. I prepared a demo tape and sent it to hundreds of program directors around the country. ... Today I'm on over 250 stations all these years later (Free audio)."
Not one to rest on his laurels, Savage continued his tradition of airing provocative material by interviewing anti-Islamic activist and author Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who he called "the bravest woman in the world (Free audio)."
Aaron Klein
Now that the election is over, Obama is still trying to strong-arm Bibi – this time into forming a coalition with Israel's left-wing parties. Klein explained, then talked to a Palestinian Authority spokesman who reacted strongly to Netanyahu's decisive victory.
In a bombshell expose, Klein unveiled Hillary's specific plans to transform America if she wins in 2016. Is it any coincidence that progressives want to pass mandatory voting in the U.S.?
After tackling these serious subject, Klein welcomeed listener favorite Jackie Mason for an interview that quickly made headlines at Drudge and elsewhere.

Mark Levin
"I want to give you a little back information that's not widely available publicly," Levin said to his listeners.
Levin went on to say that while it's true that Obama finally did call Benjamin Netanyahu this week, it wasn't to congratulate him for winning the election in Israel.
Instead, "Barack Obama insisted that Benjamin Netanyahu remove his ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer. Netanyahu said he would not. Obama attacked Netanyahu, he said, for the last days of the campaign when he called out the Arabs. And he attacked Netanyahu for his statements about the two state solution.
"And so," Levin concluded, "it was a disrespectful, rude conversation on Obama's part, not a congratulatory ‘oh you won' (Free audio)."
Laura Ingraham
Ingraham's guests this week included Lt. Col. Bill Cowan, who contended that, from the Bergdahl fiasco to the Germanwings crash, the Obama administration is "in deliberate denial of terrorism, all of the time"; Sen. Ted Cruz, who told her, "I haven't seen a whole lot of success when candidates treat voters as children"; and Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke, who said, "I'm the last guy that wants to go to war. I know the consequences but not doing anything has greater consequences (Free audio)."
Elsewhere, Ingraham called out Obama's treatment of Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he treats the Israeli prime minister "the way he does the Tea Party (Free audio)."
Glenn Beck
Beck has been highly critical of veteran Republican operative Grover Norquist, especially recently, given concerns about Norquist's role on the board of the National Rifle Association.
He invited Norquist onto his show to tell his side of the story, but then revealed that, via a series of "almost psychotic" and "bizarre" emails, the GOP insider backed out of his scheduled interview.
Before Sen. Ted Cruz announced his intention to run for the 2016 Republican nomination, he reportedly telephoned Beck, described by Politico as "an old friend."
"I had a great conversation with Ted Cruz on Friday night," Beck told his listeners later. "He told me that he had spent about two hours with his children and his wife in prayer, making the final decision this week."
"I have to tell you, that means the world to me," Beck added, asking his audience to "fast and pray like you have never fasted and prayed ever before because all the guns are coming out for this guy, all of the guns."
