RUSH: Folks, do not doubt me. They think they have won the House in 2018. They hate Trump and so they think everybody else does. The reasons they hate Trump, they think, are the reasons everybody else hates Trump. They hate Republicans and they think they have succeeded with their buddies in the media in making everybody else hate Republicans.
They think the Virginia gubernatorial election is the sign that the country has admitted its mistake and is ready now to get back to normal and elect Democrats to run Washington, D.C. So they have made this assumption. They want it to be true so badly that they actually think that they are there. And they arent. I dont think the Democrats I really dont. The evidence is all around them, but I think theyre in denial. The DNC cant raise any money.
The RNC, as unpopular as it is among rank-and-file Republicans, is outraising the Democrats. The Democrats, the amount of money theyre raising is not worth much more than an asterisk in the most recent reporting. Theyre having all kinds of trouble raising money of the $10, $20, $50 variety from average, ordinary Democrats. I mean, theyve still got their Hollywood, the usual wealthy donors from all the different Democrat groups.
But they do not have donations of average, run-of-the-mill Democrat voters the base, if you will. And so they know this, but I dont think they tell themselves the truth about what it means. They have shown the ability to lie to themselves over and over again for the express purpose of shielding the pain and making themselves feel better. And because they think that theyve come back, theyre looking at Franken and all these other as a liability.
Theyve won it; 2018, its in the bank. But not if Franken stays. So Frankens gotta go. And then theres also the Roy Moore calculation that they are making here. But when you look at the news today from ADP Services You know what ADP is, Automatic Data Processing? Its the payroll people. Yesterday ADP Services reported Are you ready for this? the largest number of new manufacturing jobs in history. It says here in history. I dont know what period of time.
Its 40,000 new manufacturing jobs in 10 months. Donald Trump campaigned on bringing manufacturing jobs back. Barack Hussein Obama presided over them being lost, and it wasnt just Obama presiding over them being lost. When Obama was asked about the jobs, the manufacturing jobs that had been lost, Obama told the nation and Democrats (paraphrased), Theyre not comin back, because were modernizing and were transforming. And those jobs, theyre never coming back because those jobs are not jobs that are gonna be needed anymore.
In June of 2016, Barack Obama was asked about jobs for the Carrier corporation in Indiana. And heres what Obamas answer was: When somebody says, like the person you just mentioned, who Im not gonna advertise for hes talking about Trump here. When somebody says, like the person you just mentioned, that hes gonna bring all these jobs back, well, how exactly are you gonna do that? What are you gonna do? Theres, uh, uh, uh, no answer to it. Trump just says, Im gonna negotiate a better deal. Well, how? How exactly are you gonna negotiate that? What magic wand does Trump have? And usually the answer is, he doesnt have an answer.
Obama was at the Carrier corporation. He was asked a question about manufacturing jobs being lost. And he chose to castigate Trump for misleading people and lying (imitating Obama), You cant bring these jobs back. Theyre not coming back. Forty thousand new manufacturing jobs in 10 months. The people that hold those jobs and the communities in which those jobs have been recreated know it. They live it, its a part of their life.
Look at this. Trumps agenda and policies, as I previously mentioned, are more conservative than either President Bushes. Trumps foreign policy is solid. We have a president who is actually dealing with North Korea rather than kicking it down the road. We have a president who is dealing with China, who is dealing with Japan, rather than status quo and dont make any waves.
Deregulation. Trump and his administration have gotten rid of more regulations in 10 months than any previous president ever tried to get rid of, which is zero. Trumps judicial appointments are game changing. Its not just Gorsuch. The judges that Trump has appointed to the district court bench and the appellate court, they are better and larger, theyre greater in number than any previous so-called conservative Republican president. And on that score, it isnt even close.
And the more Trump speaks, whether he knows it or not or intends it or not, the more conservative hes sounding and the more conservatism hes promoting. And the more he speaks it and the more he promotes it and the more of it in his agenda that happens, the more they attack him. Im talking about the Never Trumpers.
Trump gets attacked by the Never Trumpers with each success. We just dont like his personality. Hes embarrassing. We cant go anywhere and admit that we like what Trump is doing because Trump is such a horrible man, and we cant be seen by our sophisticated friends to be approving of what Trumps doing. And thats what bugs em.
But on the things that we all thought mattered, we all thought these conservatives who are Never Trumpers, we thought they were conservative. But they dont seem to be happy or satisfied with this overwhelming amount of conservatism that Trump is dishing up. Hes aking em look kind of weak. Hes making em look dead wrong in their predictions with him and his so-called incompetence and what he was not gonna be able to get done.
Hes gotten done more than any of them would have gotten done had they been elected. The job market, two consecutive quarters of over 3% economic growth, when the media and Obama said that that would never be possible again. And it was a pipe dream and very, very disingenuous to promise people that because it was not true and it was gonna lead them into massive disappointment.
The number of deportations is way up. The number of illegals coming into the country is way down. The number of prosecutions and deportations of MS-13, the gang, is way up. All these people have is the Trump dossier and Mueller and his stupid investigation and collusion and Trumps dishonesty and all whatever it is they want to try to chalk it up to. But on the substance of what Trump is accomplishing here, it infuriates them, both sides, conservative and liberal Never Trumpers.
And to show you how upset and how mind boggled they are, remember, they thought by now they would have gotten rid of Trump and Pence would be president and theyd be hassling him so much that he would quit. But Trump is still standing. They cant believe it. Theyve fired everything theyve got. Theyve made up a dossier. Theyve had all these phony claims from the deep state. You know it all.
The FBI rigged for Hillary Clinton. The FBI rigged against Donald Trump. He survived it all. He still won the election despite all that was arrayed against him. He still continues to implement an agenda despite all thats arrayed against him. They cant believe it. And its been so effective that Barack Obama has been reduced to claiming that if we dont stop Trump, were headed for Nazi Germany.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Weve got Obama from back in June of 2016. PBS special questions for Obama. This is a NewsHour special. Town hall event in Elkhart, Indiana, where he got a question about the carrier corporation from a Carrier employee. He said, You know, I see where youre trying to do a lot of things, but in Indianapolis theres nothing there for us anymore. I mean, whats next? What can we look forward to in the future as far as jobs, employment, whatever, cause all of our jobs have left or are in the process leaving. This is smack-dab in the middle of the campaign, folks, and heres Obamas answer.
Obama: Some jobs 'are just not going to come back'
OBAMA: Some of those jobs of the past are just not gonna come back. And when somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who Im not gonna advertise for, that hes gonna bring all these jobs back, well, how exactly are you gonna do that? What are you gonna do? Theres no answer to it. He just says, Im gonna negotiate a better deal. Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesnt have an answer.
RUSH: The guy that didnt have an answer was you. The guy that had no experience in this kind of thing is you. The guy that didnt know how to negotiate is you! Forty thousand new manufacturing jobs in America in the first 10 months of the Trump administration. Theres Obama saying (imitating Obama), You can listen to what Trumps saying. He doesnt know what hes talking about. Hes lying to you. Hes just incompetent.
According to Obama his very self - We ALL should thank HIM for the "Trump Economy". (Obama at the Economic Club of Chicago, 12/7/2017 link)
Even 20, 40 years from now, every positive uptick (and none of the negatives) will still ALL about Obama "I, I, I, me, me, me, my, and mine......"
You were saying?
I was for Cruz before Trump started speaking, and could have backed him, but Cruz couldn’t have beaten the machine like Trump did.
Dont let the Left tell you have no right to your beliefs. Dont let the Left tell you that you dont have the right to defend yourself with deadly force if necessary. That is the path of fascism and tyranny.
What was that bumper music near the bottom of the second hour today?
President Trump stars in the 50 State (not 57) Chainsaw Massacre of the so-called Obama legacy, which will be playing 24/7 for more than seven more years. Thanks Kaslin.
Thanks Ernest. Yeah, that’s some media FUD, right there. Been some topics on it:
The fact is, Trump’s been around for a long while, in and out of businesses, in and out of relationships with various politicians of all locations and affiliations, and y’know, there’s no way to survive that without having PILES of dirt on everyone he ever did business with, along with lots of celebrity crap-heads and other entertainment industry nitwits. That includes the so-called news media and pro sports, btw.
I’ve been quietly laughing about how the what-took-you-so-long Hollywood predation scandal, which has now spilled over into Washington and some local politics, is being attributed to the brain-dead Hitlery supporters’ deferred outrage. Makes them look bad, though, doesn’t it?
And Mueller — what if the real target of whole Mueller operation, from the beginning, was Mueller himself?
One of the great assets of the POTUS is, so many people thing he’s a dumb blowhard. That’s what every one of his supposedly more able and more experienced opponents in 2015 through to the present seems to have believed, or had others believe on their behalf.
Over the past year, I've not seen or heard conservatives using a number so often used, especially from 2014-2016.
How can Rush talk about a story about bringing back manufacturing and not mentioning tariffs? How is that possible? Rush is still a globalist but he may be comping around however slowly to the nationalist side.

Free trade is good for the economy long term, the problem is as Trump pointed out a lot of our past leaders like Obama, Clinton, and even Bush made terrible trade deals with other countries that let them in effect rip us off.
Part of this was their effort to leverage our economic strength to help them make military and ideological alliances. While there is certainly a time and place for paying for alliances many of theses alliances are not worth the money, not anymore at least.
