RUSH: All right, sir. Lets see how many of you remember. Pretty much this entire busy broadcast week when the subject of Judiciary Committee hearings for the next Supreme Court nominee have come up, many of you have said, We need to do it, Rush, we need to have the hearings so that the Democrats do their usual, predictable meltdown and that everybody can see it, everybody can see what the Democrats are doing right before the election. We need to do it.
And by extension you are saying, Screw our nominee. Our nominee needs to have a spine of steel. Our nominee needs to be able to take this kind of stuff, our nominee will be able to. Okay. Fine and dandy. So we need to do things to let the Democrats demonstrate to everybody who they are, as though nobody knows who the Democrats are. Weve forgotten that the Democrats tried to destroy Kavanaugh. That was just two years ago, not even two. It was 2018.
The rioting in Louisville. Folks, who do you thinks doing that? The Democrats demonstrate every day who they are. One of the real shocking things here is the reality (interruption) hang on. My watch is going nuts, shelter-in-place has been lifted. Turnpike and Lake all right, fine. Sorry, folks. My phones are going nuts. We got a public safety alert here on my phone. Let me deal with these here. There. Its a good thing that Im technologically competent and dont panic when this stuff hits.
All right. So the Democrats show us every day who they are. If you want to get down in the not depressing, but the fact that this party will automatically get 40 to 45% of the vote in any nationwide election, people know who they are. People know what theyre capable of. They are now burning down Louisville. They are doing everything they can, doing everything in Louisville that they did in Portland, that they did in Seattle.
And in the process theyre even taking RBG off the front page. Theyre taking the whole Supreme Court thing off the front page. Do you believe this? They are actually demonstrating, they are rioting, they are burning, and they are looting, and they are attempting to kill. They are damaging, they are wounding, they are injuring people, everybody can see it. In the process they have taken everything that was planned for the rest of this week about Ruth Bader Ginsburg off the front page. Its not above the fold.
If it hadnt been for Trump going up to the Supreme Court to pay his respects, she wouldnt be in the news today. Now, how smart is that? And the Democrats are obviously are not worried. One of the reasons theyre not worried about it is the media is blaming the rioting on us. The media is trying to blame all of whats going on in Louisville on us because theyre saying this is justified based on what happened to Breonna Taylor.
Well, what happened to Breonna Taylor is not what you think happened to Breonna Taylor. Its as big a miscarriage of media malpractice as was Ferguson and Michael Brown and any of these other the George Zimmerman story. The people of this country have been lied to from top to bottom, beginning to end about Breonna Taylor. So, anyway, Im not trying to be snarky. But I just want to bring it to your attention.
There is one time that I will concede, one time where I think the Democrats behaving very near an election, exactly as who they are, came back and bit them, and that was the Wellstone memorial, and that was in 2002. Now, many of you, thats 18 years ago so you may not have been old enough or in some cases not even born yet. But the Wellstone memorial was a memorial service for a beloved Democrat senator from Minnesota, Paul Wellstone, who perished in a plane crash.
So they did the Wellstone memorial. And it was very close to the 2002 midterms. This is the first midterm election after George W. Bush had been elected. And as in all midterm elections, the party in power i.e., the Republicans lose significant numbers of seats in the first midterms. Its just the way its always happened. You elect a president, new president, and two years later, people are fed up with some things that hes done so they take it out on him by voting for the other party in the midterms
Well, the Democrats had a meltdown at the Wellstone memorial. And Cookie, I dont need any sound bites of it. Ive got more sound bites than I can use today. They literally had a meltdown in the way they handled that whole thing. Republican senators knew Wellstone, they showed up, a lot, to show their respects. They were hounded and harassed out of the arena. The Republicans had to leave for their own safety. It was absolutely incredible. The Republican colleagues of Wellstone had to leave.
I mean, Tom Harkin from Iowa turned the death of Paul Wellstone into the cheapest, rankest, most disrespectful attempt to advance the liberal agenda that Ive ever seen. And they lost seats. The quick version of the story is the 2002 midterms, Republicans gained seats. And it stunned everybody. It never happens. And so thats one instance, only one, where I will acknowledge that the Democrats behavior in other words, taking the masks off and telling everybody who they were so close to an election actually came back and bit em.
In this case you would hope this would be the case. But the Democrats actually think that if they put on a good showing and destroy the presidents nominee, that it will increase enthusiasm on their side. They really believe that if they do an all-out, better than ever or worse than ever hit job on whoever the nominee is, they think that theyre gonna spark enthusiasm and turnout on their side. Thats what they think their base wants.
If our nominee is literally bloodied and can barely walk out of the hearing room, the Democrats think that thats gonna be a home run. Whereas many of you think, Ah, thats all its gonna take, Rush. The American people will find out who the Democrats are. How can the American people not know who they are? I know youre gonna shout at me, Media!
The medias not telling them the truth. Folks, maybe. But the Democrats are flooding the zone. The Democrats are everywhere doing whatever they can, and theyve been doing it for months. Do you think the American people really think Republicans are rioting and burning down Portland? Do you think the American people really believe Republicans are causing all these problems in Minneapolis and all these Democrat cities and states like New York, Chicago, and Illinois?
As I say, the Democrats are still gonna get automatically cause Plugs has a D next to his name, thats automatically gonna be 40 to 45% of the vote no matter what they do. More on this as the program unfolds today, cause Ive been doing a lot of thinking about it. Ive had make sure that I dont substitute what I wish and what I think should be happening i.e., I think the American people by now ought to have no question, no doubt whatsoever who the Democrats are, what the Democrat Party is.
But thats probably unrealistic, probably wishful thinking on my part, probably not taking into account how the media has lied through their teeth and has done a great job of covering up for the Democrats and hiding who they are even when the Democrats are doing their level best to show everybody who they are.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I, for one, find it fascinating that these Democrats in Louisville have now taken Ruth Bader Ginsburg off the front pages. She is gone from above the fold in newspapers. They have sabotaged their own efforts to undermine Trumps SCOTUS choice, Supreme Court pick, because everybodys now focused on what the Democrats are doing in Louisville.
If they try and remove TV coverage of the rioting, Black Lives Matter will have a fit. Meanwhile, Ruth Bader Ginsburg lies in state at the top of the steps at the Supreme Court. And had President Trump not gone up there today, nobody would know. Grab audio sound bite number 1 and 1A. The president and the first lady did show up on the top steps of the Supreme Court, and they were greeted with a bunch of chanting, rude, insufferable protesters.
PROTESTERS: (outdoor noise) Honor her wish! Honor her wish! Honor her wish! Honor her wish! Honor her wish! Honor her wish! Honor her wish! Honor her wish! Honor her wish!
RUSH: Honor her wish. What are they talking about? Honor her wish? Well get to that in just a moment. They were also booing and chanting Vote him out. Listen to this.
PROTESTERS: (outdoor noise) Booooo! Vote him out! Vote him out!
RUSH: Man, this is incredible.
PROTESTERS: Vote him out! Vote him out! Vote him out! Vote him out!
RUSH: All right. These people cant even have a wake. They cannot have a funeral. They cant have a memorial without acting out, without politicizing virtually everything. And people on our side, We need to make sure that the Democrats show people who they really are. They do every day. Dont you think the American people ought to know by now who the Democrats are? Dont you think by now the Democrats ought to barely be struggling to get 30% of the vote based on who they are? But no. Theyre guaranteed to get 40 to 45 just cause theres a D next to somebodys name on any ballot. (interruption) No, no. Ill get to honor her wish. This is a story from Ruth Bader Ginsburgs granddaughter about why she hung in there.
And it has to do with Mrs. Clinton, it has to do with the fact that she wanted to wait, she wanted to have Hillary announce her replacement. She wanted to give Hillary Rodham, the first woman president, Ruth Bader Ginsburg supposedly wanted the first woman president to name her replacement. So Justice Ginsburg hung in there and hung in there and hung in there. And we know how it turned out. Hillary was not elected. The Democrats have refused to engage in a peaceful transfer of power since 2016.
And these spoiled-brat kid protesters who dont even know what theyre talking about are running around, Honor her wish. Honor her wish. Its not her seat, you people. It is not Justice Ginsburgs seat. Justice Ginsburg doesnt get to determine who her replacement is. She doesnt get to determine who names the replacement. She could have resigned. She could have retired when Obama was president and spared everybody all this. But no. The granddaughter says she wanted to make sure that the first woman president got to name her replacement.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The Democrats in the media and a bunch of Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee are really worried that Dianne Feinstein is too old to lead the effort to destroy Trumps judicial pick.
Shes too old. Shes too out of it. Shes lost it. Shes lost the fire. Shes lost the brimstone. They asked her about it. Are you too old to do this? She said, I dont think so. I No. I Im raring and ready to go here. (Snort!) Do you believe this? Their nominee is a mummy. Their presidential nominee is a mummy that they have to hide starting at 9:30 every morning, and theyre worried about Dianne Feinstein being too old to run the destroy mission against Trumps judicial pick?
You know who would be next in line if they somehow edge her out? It would be Pat Leaky Leahy. Thats the nickname we gave him (also Senator Depends) because this guy used to leak government secrets like you cant believe, except he cannot become the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee cause hes already got that position on another committee.
So then it would go to Dick Durbin. So they went to Dick Durbin and they said, Hey, do you think Senator Feinstein is too old for this? Do you think you should move in? He very wisely said, I havent heard anything about this. I have no idea what youre talking about. I think Senator Feinsteins up to it. Whatever she wants is fine. Not gonna go there.
But I just find it ironic and funny that theyre worried that Feinstein is too old to lead the effort to destroy whoever it is, Amy Coney Barrett or Barbara Lagoa.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I got a couple of emails during the break. Why do you keep harping on this? Why do you ?
Let me tell you why. Because I dont think there ought to be five minutes of hearings into Trumps nominee. There dont have to be, and there shouldnt be. Why should we give the Democrats the chance? Everybody knows this. This is the amazing thing. Even Senator Graham. He knows whats gonna happen, and hes openly saying, We need to be fair and give them a chance to register their opposition.
Ill tell you whats going on. Everybody thinks the Democrats are gonna blow it up. Theyre gonna self-immolate. Theyre gonna start themselves on fire. Theyre gonna just blow it, on the basis that the American people are gonna see who the Democrats really are. How do they not already know? Why? We know what theyre gonna do.
They know what theyre gonna do. Theyre openly bragging about how theyre gonna do it, and were knowingly going to send a perfectly fine, great woman into this? She can handle it, Rush! Shes a tough cookie. Shes been through this. She been vetted before. Folks, I dont care. You think Kavanaugh enjoyed it?
Kavanaugh, he was prepared, too, Ill guaran-damn-tee you. You think these people enjoy this? Ill guarantee you that Sonia Sotomayor doesnt know what this is like and Elena Kagan doesnt know what this is like. No other Democrat nominee knows what this is like because theyre never put through it. And theyre always confirmed 96 to 3, 98 to 2, whatever it is.
The Republicans always showed deference. Okay, Democrats won. They get to pick who they want. Well go through the hearings. Well try to keep our base satisfied with some tough questions. But the Republicans dont try to destroy anybodys life, their career, their resume.
Everybody here knows whats gonna happen, and they still, Bring it on, let it happen. And it must be, folks, because the Republicans on the committee and the Republicans here or there think that its gonna be really beneficial if the Democrats blow up, if the Democrats lose it, if they savagely mistreat whoever the nominee is, the American people are not gonna be tolerant of it, the American people arent gonna put up with it, the American people are gonna see it and its gonna really hurt the Democrats.
You mean theyve forgotten what Kavanaugh went through? Theyve forgotten who did that to Kavanaugh? Theyve forgotten what Dianne Feinstein did and Blasey Ford and all the rest of them? So I dont think there should be a day of hearings. I dont think the Democrats have done anything to deserve it. In fact, after what they did to Kavanaugh, they have to right whatsoever. And when everybody knows what theyre going to do.
So thats why Ive got this bug that Im not letting go of this. The idea that weve got to continually subject people on our team to search-and-destroy missions like this just so we can illustrate to the American people who the Democrats really are.
Lets see. Theres one sound bite that I want here. This was this morning on NPR Morning Edition. The host is Steve Inskeep. Hes talking to Delaware Senator Chris Coons about this open Supreme Court seat.
INSKEEP: Rush Limbaugh, conservative radio host, has been suggesting to the Republicans they should move this so quickly they dont even bother with a hearing, which would be before your committee. Id like to know what the rules are, Senator Coons. Is there any rule, any law, any requirement that there must be a hearing for whoever the president nominatives?
COONS: The Constitution provides that the Senate shall give advice and consent, but there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the contours of exactly what that means.
RUSH: Answer to the question: No. Theres no requirement that there be Judiciary Committee hearings. There is tradition, but there is no constitutional or any other legal requirement. Here is the chairman of the committee, Senator Graham. He was on Fox & Friends this morning. Ainsley Earhardt said, Can you tell us more about the timeline for the hearings and the vote on the presidents nominee?
GRAHAM: Were gonna make sure that the Democrats get a chance to challenge the nominee, not abuse the nominee. I want it to be meaningful. I want it to be challenging. But were not gonna let it become destructive as it was in Kavanaugh.
RUSH: How you gonna stop it?
GRAHAM: My goal is to get the nominee through the committee process with a meaningful hearing, a probing hearing, get it to the floor in time for Mitch McConnell to process the nomination, get a final vote before the election.
RUSH: We are going to make sure the Democrats get a chance to challenge the nominee, not abuse the nominee. They dont know anything but abuse. In fact, theyre bragging about it. They are telegraphing it. They are promising it to their base. Folks, if this nominee goes through, if its Amy Coney Barrett or even Barbara Lagoa, if it goes through, then there is a minimum guaranteed 5-4 conservative majority, and depending on Roberts and how he falls on issue to, could be 6-3 now and then.
Thats ball game for Democrats. And if its Barrett, it could be the first step in getting rid of Roe v. Wade, overturning that. Theyre not gonna sit there and be polite. I dont know. Were gonna give em a chance, a chance to challenge the nominee but not abuse the nominee. I want it to be meaningful. So Senator Graham obviously does not want to be the guy that appears to be unfair and partisan by saying there arent gonna be any hearings here. I understand that, I guess.
Most people should realize Democrats are sorry bastards
Tom Harkin in revival preacher mode was hilarious at the Wellstone Memorial. I for one was LMAO the whole time!
A very good point, Mr. Limbaugh, and one which bears repeating often.
Over half the country is there, and if we had 75+% true voting (one vote per person), the DEMs would own the country.
These are not Republicans in the streets who are assaulting people, committing arson, rioting, vandalizing, looting and killing people.
These are all Democrats and Democrat supporters. Therefore I consider anyone supporting Democrats to be an enemy of this country.
Of course they aren’t and everyone knows that.
No, unfortunately not. The media covers it up. There are other sources of information other than the drive-by media, but they still impact a huge portion of the population.
Today’s RAT party is NOT the democratic party of yesteryear of our great grandparents.
Today’s RAT party has been completely taken over by insane, rabid marxists that are hellbent on destroying this country, our society, our way of life and everything we hold sacred.
They’re outright communists and MUST be dealt with as such.
Now, they’re messing with the ballot box leaving only the ammo box to address them. It’s coming.

If everyone knows the Democrats are the enemy of America, why is it big media says it’s Trump and his supporters who are at fault and are committing all this violence?
Portland Mayor Blames President Trump for the Violence in Portland
They sure are the enemy of America, without a doubt.
“If everyone knows the Democrats are the enemy of America, why is it big media says its Trump and his supporters who are at fault and are committing all this violence?”
Big Media as you put it is the Propaganda Arm of the democrat party. They have been for decades.
There hasn’t been an unbiased media in the history of this country. You can discover this by reading the writings of the Founding Fathers and Politicians from the earliest days of our country.
You must hold Republicans for really stupid? We know better than that. It is the rats in DC that are evil. Regular dems are probably okay.
I know what the media is and I certainly don’t need a lecture on that.
I was responding to a another comment here suggesting, “Everyone knows it’s the Democrats and their supporters committing all the violence”, when this is not the case according to the media, politicians etc. This is a short thread, reading back should be easy.
Regular Dems are not OK. The point of this piece is that everybody knows who and what the Dem party is. Anyone that supports them at this point (grandma too) shares in the evil.
Anyone who is still voting Democrat is lower than scum at the bottom of the septic tank.
It’s common practice to put the quote of person you’re commenting to into the comment section as I did to you. This way everyone knows the comment is directed specifically to that person regarding their comment and not a generic comment based on the article.
Its common practice to read the comments prior to responding to someone so you at least appear to have some knowledge of what the hell is being discussed.
Sorry Rush but anyone engaged in teaching knows the essence of getting your message to stick is repeating and repeating it. The public needs to see who these wild animals are and these hearings are the simplest and most compact way to do that. If there are no hearings in the halls of Congress the Democrats will hold the hearing in the media with no chance to point out their lies. Judge Barrett has been through it and knows what is coming and has proved she can take their best punch and still remain standing. We don’t know that about any other woman.
