RUSH: I think Pelosi and Schumer were walking in there expecting Trumps surrender. You gotta examine their frame of mind, and Im an expert in that. Im an expert in the liberal frame of mind. Im an expert in how liberals act and think. Im an expert in their psychology, and I dont have to treat a single one of them to be this expert. I have studied them more than they have studied themselves. They think they won the government back when they won the House in the midterm elections.
They think they won the power to get rid of Donald Trump via the judicial branch and the connections they have. So their agenda now is that it is just a matter of time. Trump is gone; theyre back running the show. They have, for all intents and purposes, by winning the House back. Democrats are now telling themselves that they have gotten control of Washington back after having lost it temporarily in 2016. Trump is a lame duck. Hes not even really there.
Hes not deserving of any respect. Were gonna steamroller him. He has no idea whats coming. He doesnt know what hes doing in the first place. Hes out of place. He should never been here! We won the House back, and so now we pretty much have a handle on everything. So they walk up in the meeting today, and they expect Trump to be somewhat Maybe surrender is a bit of a tough word. But they expected Trump to be accepting and malleable and hoping to try to mend fences.
Because in their world, thats what happens. When you soundly defeat somebody which they think theyve done. They think they have soundly defeated Trump, and they think they have retaken Washington. The deep state now thinks theyre back in charge, cause all the rest of this getting rid of Trump finally is now just a fait accompli. Its just a matter of the days on the calendar being marked off as we get closer and closer to that day when Trump is gone, and certainly not reelected.
So in their world when they vanquish somebody like this and particularly Republicans, they expect the Republican to be almost begging for forgiveness and acceptance and understanding. Please dont hold it against me that I tried to beat you. Im willing to admit that you won and that I lost and now want to work together, cross the aisle, shake hands, cooperate, blah, blah. They show up there expecting that kind of thing, because, folks, they have still not None of them have.
They still have not endeavored to find out who Trump is, who he really is, beyond the stereotypes theyve created of him and the cliches, and they certainly have no idea who his voters are. They just hold us all in contempt. So Trump blindsided em. He totally, totally blindsided em. A Democrat thats been paying attention, that has even a modicum of respect, should have realized a meeting in the White House with the media and cameras in the room oftentimes ends up being televised.
That didnt even cross their minds until it started happening, and then thats too late to do anything about it. All Pelosi could do was mutter that its not (muttering) We we we need to get rid of the press. We shouldnt be having these negotiations in the media. Well, what? You just said, Nancy, that the House of Representatives now with you Democrats in charge it is gonna be transparent again! The Democrat control of things is never transparent.
Democrats and liberals, by definition, hide who they are and what theyre doing from public scrutiny. They do not permit it to happen. They lie about what they believe in, what they want to happen, what their agendas gonna be, and who they are. So Trump just totally maneuvered them and took them by total surprise and laid the land for them. (paraphrased) Its gonna be border security or theres gonna be a shutdown and Im gonna be the one to do it. Ill happily do it. Ill claim the credit for it.
They didnt know what to do because Trump framed all this in terms of border security. Now, border security is something the Democrats will say they support. But when it come time to actually do something that would promote it, you cant find em. They dont want there to be any changes in how people cross the border by definition. They want amnesty for those that are already here illegally, and they dont want any limits on people coming in other than the ones they impose for their own political reasons.
But nothing about whats good for the country. Because, in their view, whats good for them is whats good for the country. Not the other way around. So it was fascinating to watch. And, you know, the media Even when the Pelosi-Schumer press conference outside the White House was had, the media kept boring in on some things, and Schumer finally held up his hand and said, Stop! Stop! No more. Now, wait a minute.
The last time that happened, Trump said that to Jim Acosta. He got thrown out of the White House and so forth. I dont see the media upset. I dont see the media upset that somebody in the Democrat Party told them to stop their basic line of inquiry. So well see where this goes. Again, just to review, theres a military budget option where Trump could take some money from the massive military budget, $5 billion. Believe me, theres $5 billion in it that he could take and have the wall built under the umbrella of national security.
Now Schumer and Pelosi are very much aware of this. So look for them to take steps to make sure Trump cant do it by trying to earmark the expenditure of every dollar in the defense budget. But they dont have that authority until January. They dont run the House of Representatives and theyre not gonna run the Senate period. They dont run the House. Pelosis not running anything right now. December 21st is the date of a potential government shutdown.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Didnt we just have a week-long celebration of George H. W. Bush, and wasnt he celebrated, at least by the Drive-By Media, for one specific thing? Let me see if anybody is picking up on what Im suggesting. What do you think the one specific thing, Dawn, was that the media highlighted nah thats an overall attitudinal thing. Im thinking of a specific thing George H. W. Bush did that he was praised to the heavens for, and it was said we need more of it, we need to have much more of this to take us back to a time when our politics was friendly, noncombative, and where everybody got along.
What was it? When he broke his promise and raised taxes! George H. W. Bush was celebrated and praised to the hilt. We had a week of it for not keeping a campaign promise. Now, here comes Donald Trump, and hes gonna put it all on the line to keep a campaign promise, build a wall, shut down the government, if necessary, and Washington thinks hes crazy for doing it.
A lot of people are ripping into Trump for having this kind of commitment to his campaign promise, and hes kept as many of them as hes made. One of the most amazing aspects of the Trump presidency is how much of what he promised he has followed through on, including getting the wall built.
See how this works? George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush broke his campaign promise, Read my lips: No new taxes, raised taxes. One of the greatest presidents ever, we need more like him, the media said. Four full days of celebrating a president who broke his promise and did what the Democrats wanted to do. This proved bipartisanship. So there goes Trumps chance to have a great, week-long funeral when he passes away.
Okay. Were gonna start on the phones in Bloomington, Indiana. This is Mike. Great to have you with us, sir. Hi.
CALLER: How you doing, Rush? First off, I think you nailed it on the head. The president has nothing to lose. He should just go ahead and shut down the government. Theyre gonna impeach him. They said it over and over again. So what does he have to lose? Really nothing. And the selection of the 21st, whoever put that in there, was pure genius because the entire government has been funded and paid by the 21st. So hes got until the next Friday to get the government reopened. And they never saw it coming.
RUSH: Im not sure what youre getting at with the 21st. The reason the 21st is chosen is because its right up against Christmas, and we cant shut down the government at Christmas. It would be mean and cruel to shut down the government at Christmas. Thats why they chose the 21st.
CALLER: Yeah, but everybodys been paid. Everybodys been paid. On the 14th the DOD and the DOE and associated are paid, and on the 21st everyone else is paid. The next payday isnt til the following Friday.
RUSH: Oh, I see. The government employees and that kind of thing. In this case, the government shutdown is going to be affecting entitlement recipients. Even though it wont, shutting down the government will mean at Christmastime all those that depend on uncle Santa Claus are going to be denied. There wont be any trips down the chimney by U.S. government Uncle Sam Claus. Isnt gonna happen because Donald Trump shut down this is why these shutdown dates always border the Christmas holiday.
Theyre intended to put pressure on Republicans not to follow through on shutting down the government. Its Christmastime, shutting down the government, what are people gonna do? People will have no idea where to go to get anything if we shut down the government. Thats what they want attitudinally created. But I agree. Trump has got to get this done. Hes got to keep his supporters with him.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: So Schumer shows up, along with Pelosi, and he says to Trump, Elections have consequences, Mr. President. He thought Trump would be back on his heels. He thought Trump would be nervous and defensive and hoping for mercy, and Trump said, Thats right, Chuck. And thats why the countrys doing so well. Elections have consequences. Countrys doing so well, Chuck, because I won. And Im gonna keep doing what I was elected to do, Chuck. Heres Nancy Pelosi as we get this parade going.
PELOSI: Were here to have a conversation in a careful way, so I dont think we should have a debate in front of the press on this. But the fact is the House Republicans could bring up this bill if they had the votes immediately and set the tone for what you want.
THE PRESIDENT: If we thought we were gonna get it passed in the Senate, Nancy, we would do it immediately. Wed get it passed very easily in the House. We would get it (interruption) Nancy, Id have it passed in two seconds. It doesnt matter, though, because we cant get it passed in the Senate because we need 10 Democrat votes.
PELOSI: Well, let us have our conversation, and then well meet with the press again.
RUSH: Pelosi realizes this meeting has started and the cameras are still in there, No, no, no, we cant do this. Lets have our meeting, lets have our conversation, meet with the press later. And Trumps pointing out, Look. The deal youre offering, I could get that in two seconds in the House. I dont need you for that. I need 10 Democrats in the Senate and theyre not gonna help. The Democrats are not interested in border security, was the theme. Trump continued.
THE PRESIDENT: Chuck, did you want to say something?
SCHUMER: Yeah. Heres what I want to say. We have a lot of disagreements here. The Washington Post today gave you a whole lot of Pinocchios because they say you constantly misstate how much of the wall is built and how much is there. But thats not the point here.
THE PRESIDENT: The Washington Post?
Trump clashes with Pelosi, Schumer in Oval Office
Dems Expected Surrender But This President Keeps His Promises

THE PRESIDENT: The Washington Post?
SCHUMER: We have a disagreement about the wall, whether its effective or not on border security, but on the wall. We do not want to shut down the government. You were called 20 times to shut down the government. You say, I want to shut down the government. We dont. We want to come to an agreement. If we cant come to an agreement, we have solutions that will pass the House and Senate right now and will not shut down the government, and thats what were urging you to do. Not threaten to shut down the government cause you (interruption) let me just finish, cause you cant get your way.
THE PRESIDENT: The last time you shut it down
SCHUMER: Yeah. Let me say something, Mr. President. You just say, my way or well shut down the government. We have a proposal that Democrats and Republicans will support to do a CR that will not shut down the government. We urge you to take it.
THE PRESIDENT: And if its not good border security, I wont take it.
SCHUMER: It is very
RUSH: Thats the bottom line. There is no border security in it. There is no wall. This is all about the wall. Trump has to do the wall. Hes got to get that done. If he cant do it with a deal with these people hes gonna take money from the defense budget and hes gonna have it built through the aegis of national security. These got to do it. These people dont want it to happen. Theyre offering another continuing resolutions. What in the name of Sam Hill are we still doing with continuing resolutions?
When is somebody gonna insist that we actually have a budget? A budget with articulated spending and limits and allocations instead of these emergency continuing resolutions with the never-ending threat of a government shutdown every six months, every three months guaranteed to have one right before Christmas. And I love seeing Trump just stand up to em and say, Ill gladly shut it down, Chuck, and Ill take the credit for it, because the American people are sick and tired of us not resolving this issue. Hes right about that.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay, heres the final bite. And remember, you know, Schumer and Pelosi, they go in there this is really important to note. They go in there, and Pelosi starts preaching to Trump about how her House of Representatives is gonna be transparent, implying that the House of Representatives under Paul Ryan has not been transparent, but we Democrats, were gonna bring transparency back. And then whats the first thing she wants to do? Kick the cameras out of the meeting with Trump.
And the reason she doesnt want the cameras in there is so that she and Schumer can then go to the cameras and microphones outside the White House when the meeting is over and lie about what happened in there and create their own narrative and their own spin.
And Trump is supposedly so stupid and so dumb that he wouldnt realize their trick strategy, blows it up on em by having the cameras stay in the room, the media continues to televise everything, and so they cant spin it when they leave, although they did try. But heres the final bite. This is Schumer. Remember, Trump is calling em out. He was yelling at Pelosi for a couple of minutes and Schumer was trying to get him to quiet down.
SCHUMER: Twenty times you have called for I will shut down the government if I dont get my wall. None of us have said
THE PRESIDENT: You want to know something?
SCHUMER: Youve said it. You.
THE PRESIDENT: Ill take it.
SCHUMER: Okay. Good.
THE PRESIDENT: You know what Ill say? Yes, if we dont get what we want one way or the other, whether its through you, through our military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government.
SCHUMER: Okay, fair enough. We disagree. We disagree.
THE PRESIDENT: I am proud. And Ill tell you what, I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of this country dont want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. Im not gonna blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didnt work. I will take the mantle of shutting down and Im gonna shut it down for border security.
SCHUMER: We believe you.
RUSH: Now, again, this is really crucial because what the president did here, what Trump did was as best he could make it look like Pelosi and Schumer are not interested in border security. He kept throwing that up and claiming I will shut down the government for border security. He was trying to maneuver them into a circumstance where they were made to look like it wasnt a concern to them. And it isnt! Border security is not a concern, not the way you and I mean it. Its not a concern to them. They dont want the flow interrupted, and they certainly dont want it reduced. They want the flow of illegal immigration to continue and expand.
And so Trump owning the shutdown, thats a pretty bold maneuver itself, because supposedly nobody benefits from that. Why, that would be silly to shut down a government and to take credit for it. Why, we usually win by blaming the Republicans for it. And heres Trump owning it. I guarantee you their heads were spinning in there.
And just one other minor little observation that doesnt really mean anything, but I just noticed something here. I dont even know if Ive told this story. Ive alluded to it, but I dont know if I told details. This has to be seven or eight years ago now. I was summoned to a meeting with two senators and the founder of a well-known conservative news network. It was a dinner in New York to discuss the latest plans on the table at that time to deal with illegal immigration.
And the reason I was summoned is that I was told by the two Senators, If you call it amnesty, you will kill it! And we wanted you to come here because what were proposing isnt amnesty! And I got the lowdown on how E-Verify was gonna work and this and that and the employer aspect of this was gonna be monitored and that whatever it was, it wasnt amnesty. And they were trying to educate me on their plan so that I would see that it wasnt amnesty so that I wouldnt call it amnesty!
Well, one of the senators was Schumer. And everybody was nice. It was a very civil occasion. It was nothing combative. It was nothing insulting. But at one point Schumer got off topic, he started talking electoral politics and treating me as though I were a Republican consultant type guy, and he was using that kind of language and how the Democrats were gonna really score big, and he started talking about demographics versus districts and states and how this was gonna happen to make the Democrats win here.
And I put my hand up, Senator, senator, hold on. I dont look at this the way you do. All that stuff youre talking about to me is irrelevant. I believe in ideas. I think all Americans will respond to good ideas. I dont care if theyre black or white or Hispanic or anything. The way I go about reaching people is with ideas.
And he threw his hands up, Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. I didnt make any particular note of being fair enough, but I hear it here, and Trump is telling him what for and giving him his lowdown, Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. I dont know what that means. I dont know if thats Schumers way of signaling, okay, conversation over, okay, were not gonna discuss it anymore or what have you.
Because everybody has ticks. Everybody has tells and as a student of the voice and a professional practitioner of the voice and the use of words, those kinds of things I notice about people. And they are unique the way people use phrases, how often they use them and in what circumstance. You can discern intent by certain phraseology if its used routinely and regularly in certain circumstances. I havent formed any conclusions yet on Schumer, and it may be nothing at all here. Im just pointing out here that I was massively disagreeing with him.
He was telling me how Democrats are gonna win everything and why because all of these demographic facts and figures and population shifts and the women vote black women, white women, suburban women. I said, Senator, I dont look at it that way. I mean, I do a radio show and Im not trying to trying to target niche audiences here and there. You know, getting votes is a much different thing than getting an audience, I told him. He said, Fair enough, fair enough, and he stopped what he was talking about.
You know, there was a moment I was worried that I have let too much out of the bag in terms of how I do what I do, cause these people think that I do whatever I do and theyre dead wrong about how and why and why it works and thats fine. Id rather keep them ignorant about it. Their arrogance is such they never admit to themselves that they dont know how I do what I do or why, and I worried for a minute that I was maybe too informative.
Because once you tell people how you operate, you can arm them to oppose you. I dont think it was the case, but I found it interesting that his view of the country was not really of people. It was of groups and skin color and as many different demographic delineations as he could make, versus my view of the country as just one giant sea of humanity and that were all human beings and we can all be reached with decent ideas, firm connections, and so forth. I found it fascinating in that regard and I still did continue to call it amnesty afterwards cause it was.

RUSH: Let me grab Joe here in Seneca, Pennsylvania. Im glad you called, sir, and glad you waited. Hi! Whats happening? Whats shaking?
CALLER: Thank you for taking the call. Merry Christmas. I just wanted to make a comment about the Pelosi-Schumer meeting. I dont understand how on both sides of our government they cant understand that the people are gonna stand up against this and theyre gonna vote in 2020, and I feel theyre gonna vote both a lot of Republicans and Democrats out of office, I hope. Do you have any comments on how we might get that across to them?
RUSH: Uhhh, yeah. I dont think they care, until four or five months of the election year, what you think when you get down to brass tacks. The last six months before an election, theyll do everything they can to make you think they care and that theyre gonna listen to you, but they dont care. You especially! (chuckles) Trumps election is proof positive. The objective here is to ignore you! The objective here is to pretend that 2016 didnt happen!
The objective here is to get rid of the winner and to overturn the results of 2016. They dont listen to you. These people dont look at the will of the people as being the directive for the nation. Youre to be tricked. Youre to be fooled. You are to be cajoled and so forth. But when the elections over They already think, by the way, that theyve won the presidency in 2020. Theyve already got themselves convinced that everybody hates Trump and the Republicans.
Theyre already thinking that way.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which was a slush fund created by Elizabeth Warren to shakedown companies for money and then send the money to democrat donors, is now fully in republican control. The CFPB could fund wall construction and no one in Congress could do anything about it.
I have to say that this is the payoff for actually passing a budget this year.
The House did accomplish something meaningful in the long term game of blocking and tackling.
That is absolutely BRILLIANT! Shake down leftist companies like Google and Facebook to get the funds. Give them a taste of their collectivist medicine! Congress will scream bloody murder but seeing as how they are going to Impeach him anyways what does he have to lose?
“The rail project, known as East Side Access, would bring the Long Island Rail Road to the East Side of Manhattan ... An investigation last year by The New York Times found that the costs for the project were likely to surpass $12 billion, or nearly $3.5 billion for each new mile of track...”
It costs $3.5 Billion for 1 mile of track in Chuck Schumer’s backyard. Yet he (and Pelosi) won’t spend a penny on securing the national border with a wall.
Schumer’s is a big mouth, Northeastern leftist politician. It’s his way or the highway. Hey Chuck, why don’t you be like that great bipartisan man that all the democraps adored last week, H.W., and break your promises to your constituents for the sake of bipartisanship. We promise we will sing praises of your bipartisanship when you pass on.
I hope we are coming to this moment of showdown, a real shutdown. It is simple. It comes down to whether border security will have include a wall or not. Big mouth Chuck will have a chance to explain when the government is shutdown how border security will work without the need for a wall. Heck, why should the Capitol funnel visitors through a secure Visitors center; just open up the front doors again, let people walk through without any metal detectors. It belongs to the people Chuck, we can ensure your safety by other means, no?
The real reason big mouth, ill-mannered Chuck is against the Wall is the democraps need to keep Trump from fulfilling his campaign promise, ... democraps need no wall to campaign against him in 2020, to peel away Trump 2020 supporters in order to defeat Trump in 2020. HW’s recent passing has some political advantages. One is a lesson. When HW broke his pledge, HW was electoral toast. The democraps want Trump to become electoral toast by breaking his promise. If Trump keeps it simple, “Border security includes a wall”, most people will understand that especially with the pictures of the caravan to Tijuana. The democraps will have a hard time explaining during the shutdown border security with no wall - what, the illegal caravan puts pesos in Tijuana’s parking meters waiting to lawfully enter the US? ROFLMAO
This cracks me up. Piglosi and Schmuckie are playing tiddly-winks and Trump is playing 3D Chess. They’re so arrogant and full of themselves that he is telegraphing his moves and they STILL don’t get it.
It reminds me of a scene in the old movie Billy Jack.
Billy is being sized up for a beatdown by the townies. The townies are being egged on by the Soros-esque town big shot Posner.
[Billy Jack is surrounded by Posner’s thugs]
Mr. Posner: You really think those Green Beret Karate tricks are gonna help you against all these boys?
Billy Jack: Well, it doesn’t look to me like I really have any choice now, does it?
Mr. Posner: [laughing] That’s right, you don’t.
Billy Jack: You know what I think I’m gonna do then? Just for the hell of it?
Mr. Posner: Tell me.
Billy Jack: I’m gonna take this right foot, and I’m gonna whop you on that side of your face...
[points to Posner’s right cheek]
Billy Jack: ...and you wanna know something? There’s not a damn thing you’re gonna be able to do about it.
Mr. Posner: Really?
Billy Jack: Really.
[kicks Posner’s right cheek, sending him to the ground]
That’s it! Thanks
Just think: If the Democrats refuse the $5 bilion and the Gov’t shuts down Trump can raise the ante to the full $25 billion. He knows that no one will notice the shutdown in their everyday lives except the media and the rats who will be squealing.

I couldn’t help imagining Schumer and Pelosi going into the White House and getting completely Khashoggi’d by rogue CIA ops, then getting delivered to the National Zoo to feed some big cats.
“they expected Trump to be accepting and malleable and hoping to try to mend fences.”
Trump does want to mend fences (and build walls).
Sure wish Trump would bring that up in public—in his tweets—and in his press bites.
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Get filthy rich leftist companies like Google and Facebook to cough up the funds.
Give them a taste of their collectivist medicine! Congress will scream bloody murder but they are bent on
Impeachment what does he have to lose?
