What Impeachment Is Really All About [Rush Limbaugh]

RUSH: Yeah, Bill Hemmer has been asking every guest that he’s had on Fox today a simple question, and nobody’s been able to answer it. They should have just called me. If Hemmer wants an answer to his question, I’ll be more than happy to – in fact, I’m gonna do it right here pretty soon because we’re just now underway. Here at the EIB Network, it’s Rush Limbaugh wrapping up yet another exciting and sterling busy broadcast week on Friday.

RUSH: If you happen to be one of the four or five people that we talk to today, you can talk about whatever you want to talk about. I’m sorry, I’ve been so bad not getting enough phone calls in. I’m gonna try to change that. I always try to change that on Friday. I always try to get more calls in, but there’s just been so much to say, ’cause things keep happening as the program unfolds that I, executing my responsibilities as play-by-play man of the news, must comment on.

It throws all the organization of every show out the window. I guarantee you within 10 to 20 minutes after each program starts whatever I planned on doing is out the window. I hope that’s not the case today ’cause there’s some really good stuff coming up. Plus, whatever you want to talk about on the phones. That’s the thing about Friday. It doesn’t have to be anything that is prominent in the news. It can be anything you want, if you’re passionate about it. Telephone number is 800-282-2882. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.

So Bill Hemmer today was asking every guest — he had Karl Rove on there. He had Chris Wallace. And, by the way, there’s some media reporting about Chris Wallace. He did say what is being reported, but he said a lot more too. And there’s context to what he said, so I want to make sure you all understand that.

I mean, he did say that Trump has done more to damage the press than anything he could ever possibly imagine, that Trump has conducted this full-fledged attack on the press. And I’m gonna deal with that. But he also called out CNN for the way they’ve been behaving, and that hasn’t been reported because of course it wouldn’t be.

We got the Brexit stuff. This is huge. The Brexit election, that’s what it is. The Boris Johnson election is huge. Nobody in the U.K. or in the United States can believe it. And it is a precursor. It is a forerunner. And you know why they thought that Labor was gonna win big? Because of Twitter. They all thought that Twitter in the U.K. represented majority national opinion.

They have now found out that it doesn’t. They have found out that left wing dominance of Twitter does not equal the majority of thought. In fact, the conservative party in the U.K. has more votes, they have more power in the House of Commons than they have had since Margaret Thatcher. It was such a devastating blow that the communist left-wing labor leader, a jerk by the name of Jeremy Corbyn, is gonna stand down.

It was such a total, overwhelming repudiation of the left in the U.K., and it was all about the people who voted to get out of the European Union, not letting the elites of the U.K. pretend that that vote didn’t happen. Just as the left in this country has been attempting to reverse the election results of 2016, so the left in the U.K. has been attempting to redo the election results, throw them out on the Brexit vote, get out of the European Union in the U.K. three years ago. Boris Johnson, big winner.

And now, you know what? Plugs Biden’s out there (imitating Biden), “Oh, my God, this guy, this guy, can’t remember his name, this guy, Boris Johnson, he’s a clone of Trump, oh, my God. He’s a carbon copy of Trump.” Yeah, what does that tell you, Plugs?

You know, these people, they live in their cocooned shells where they tell themselves they are universally loved, that they are the universal majority, that everybody hates their enemies as much as they do, and when confronted with direct evidence to the contrary, they don’t know how to process it.

They really have a tough time digesting it all. They have a tough time digesting that they’re not the majority. They have a tough time reacting to and digesting the fact that they are not persuading people to join them. It’s happening in the U.K. It is happening here.

The president is speaking here. Let’s JIP this. He’s in the Oval Office right now. Our microphones are there. There may be a reaction to the House vote here. Let’s hear.

THE PRESIDENT: You’re trivializing impeachment. And I tell you what. Someday there will be a Democrat president and there will be a Republican House, and I suspect they’re gonna remember it. Because when you do — when you use impeachment for absolutely nothing other than to try and get political gain. Now, with that being said, my poll numbers, as you know, have gone through the roof. Fundraising for the Republican Party has gone through the roof. We’re setting records. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it because the people are disgusted.

The people are absolutely disgusted. Nobody’s ever seen anything like this. And I watched yesterday, I got to see quite a bit of it yesterday, and I watched these Democrats on the committee make fools out of themselves, absolute fools out of themselves. And I also saw them quoting all the time incorrectly. They kept saying “me.” It wasn’t about “me.” It was about “us.” The word was “us.”

So they kept saying “me.” It said “us.” “Can you do us a favor, our country,” comma, “our country,” then I talked about seeing the attorney general of the United States. For these people to say “me,” they would say “me.” You said, “do me a favor.” No, it didn’t say that. It said, “do us a favor, our country,” talking about the past election, talking about corruption.

The other thing nobody remembers, and nobody likes to talk about, and I talk about it all the time, is why isn’t Germany, why isn’t France, why aren’t other European countries paying? Because we’re paying, the suckers. You know, for years we’ve been the suckers. But we’re not the suckers anymore. Big difference. But why isn’t Germany paying big money? They’re the ones — I mean, they have a much bigger benefit than we do because Ukraine is really a stoppage between Russian and parts of Europe, a major part of Europe.

Why aren’t European countries paying? Why isn’t France paying a lot of money? Why is it always the United States? We’re 7,000 miles away. Why is it always the suckers that pay? So we’ve changed that. But nobody brings that up. I think that the whole impeachment thing, hoax, I guess you could call it, because it is a hoax, and Nancy Pelosi knows it. By the way, they duped her yesterday. She was on an interview. And she said, “We’ve been working on this for two and a half years.”

So she was working on it, in other words, two years before we ever spoke to Ukraine. She said we’ve been working on impeachment for two and a half years. And the reporter was shocked when they got this answer because it showed she’s a liar. So it’s a very sad thing for our country, but it seems to be very good for me politically.

And again those people, ’cause I watched some of the dishonest, Fake Media, they’re saying, “Well, the polls have remained the same.” No, the polls have not remained the same. I think you understand that, John. The polls about have gone through the roof for Trump, because people, especially with independent voters, and especially in swing states. I could show you numbers that nobody’s ever seen —

THE PRESIDENT: So the impeachment is a hoax, it’s a sham, it started a long time ago, probably before I came down the escalator —

RUSH: And this stuff isn’t really about Ukraine. I finally figured what this stuff’s about.

THE PRESIDENT: — and you look at these horrible FBI people talking about “we gotta get him out, insurance policies,” you know, the insurance policy’s just in case she loses, meaning Crooked Hillary, who’s crooked as a three-dollar bill.

Just in case Crooked Hillary loses, we got an insurance policy. But we’ve been going through the insurance policy now for three years, and it’s a disgrace. Thank you very much, everybody.

RUSH: All right. That’s the president from the Oval Office. He’s meeting with a foreign leader. I think it’s Portugal. I’m not sure. But glad we got that, because that’s his reaction to what’s going on.

Folks, look. This really isn’t about Ukraine, and Russia wasn’t about Russia. Well, Russia was about Russia, the first effort here. But this is really not about Ukraine. This went on so long yesterday in the House that eventually the Democrats got tired of repeating the scripted, so-called, charges. And when Hakeem Jeffries decided to object to certain things the Republicans were saying, it all came out, everything they hate about Trump.

And then Pencil Neck was on some comedy show last night. Pencil Neck said on the comedy show last night, “What are we all gonna say when our kids grow up and ask us, ‘What did you do about the man who put children in cages?'” You realize they have been chomping at the bit, they have been irritated since June the 16th of 2015 when Trump came down the escalator.

What this is really all about, and you know it, they hate the guy, they cannot sand the way he talks, they can’t stand the politically incorrect posture that he assumes each and every day. But more importantly, they have bought into a bunch of lies. It was the Obama administration that built cages to put the children of people seeking asylum in when they came in illegally. Trump didn’t do that, but these people have got themselves convinced of this and any number of other outrages.

There’s another one. This one came out yesterday. Grab sound bite number 7. Hakeem Jeffries brought this up on his own yesterday during his time to pontificate. When they took a break at some point yesterday — no. I’m sorry, it was this morning. After the Judiciary Committee voted finally the two articles of impeachment against Trump, the House Republicans had a little presser out there. And don’t know who, an unidentified female reporter asked Republican Representative Mike Johnson from Louisiana a question, and it’s directly from what Hakeem Jeffries said during the hearings yesterday. Audio sound bite number 7. Three, two, one, hit it.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE REPORTER: This is a president who just yesterday called a teenager on the autism spectrum a person with an anger management problem. Does that make it harder to defend him this vigorously?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sixty-three million Americans voted to make him the president of the United States. He has an unorthodox style. Democrats don’t like that style. They don’t like him. They don’t like his Twitter account. They don’t like many of his staff members. They don’t like what he does in the office. But the way our system is designed, the way our Constitution is written, is the party in charge, even if you have the majority in Congress, you don’t get to remove a president because you don’t like him.

RUSH: That’s exactly what they’re doing. But there are two things about this that I want to address. Here comes this question again. “Does it make it harder to defend the president vigorously?” The answer is no. The answer for any of you Republicans who will be asked this question going forward, “No, it is not hard to defend the president at all. You don’t have any evidence. All you’ve got is disagreements and hate over personality qualms that you’ve got. You Republicans have nothing to defend. The president is not hard to defend and doesn’t even need to be if you want to get right down to it. But it isn’t hard.”

Mike Johnson’s answer here was good, don’t misunderstand. I’m just saying the answer to the question, “Does it make it harder to defend the president?” No. It’s not hard at all. And let me show you how to do it. And then they can launch into being on offense and what that sounds like.

Now, here comes the Greta Thunberg question. Trump did tweet. Let’s not forget the context here. The first thing to notice about Greta Thunberg is that she’s 16 years old; she claims she has Aspergers’s or autism, some kind of problem in that area. And so she is made the Person of the Year by TIME magazine, which is what? A political news magazine. Greta Thunberg has been introduced into the political arena by the worldwide left, including the Democrat Party. They have made her a political figure. They do this on purpose.

So she’s out tweeting and politicizing, and she is free to lie and say whatever she wants to say about climate change and who’s responsible for it, and nobody is permitted to question her, you see, because she has — what did they call it? Is in the autism spectrum. So you can’t disagree. You can’t question her because she’s not well.

This is a tactic that the Democrats use. They will go out and purposely find disabled people, they will make of them prominent political figures. And when they do that, I’m sorry, if they’re gonna put disabled people or any other kind of person in the political arena, they are converting them into a political figure. As such, they’re gonna be reacted to politically. I’m sorry, I speak for myself here. But I’m not gonna lay down and ignore just because the Democrats are trying to run a trick to make all of us do just that.

And what Trump said is not particularly mean anyway. You’re 16 years ago old, what are you doing getting all riled up about that. Chill out, go to some anger management and see a movie, enjoy your life. And here come the Democrats, “How dare he. What an ogre, what a mean guy.” And they want to impeach him for stuff like this.

You know what it really is? They can’t believe the American people aren’t rejecting him because of this. They have put speech codes, they have enforced speech codes and behavioral codes on all of us. They have been slowly but surely taking away as much freedom as they can from the way we speak, from the way we behave and even from the way we think. And they have gotten away with it because a lot of people are afraid to object to any of it.

So they go out and they find disabled people. They’ve used Michael J. Fox this way. They had him out there cutting television commercials for Democrat Senate candidates. Can’t respond, can’t react, can’t criticize because he has Parkinson’s. It’s not fair. It’s mean-spirited. Sorry. It doesn’t shut me up. I’m willing to pay the price for what they do. But it’s a time-honored trick that they use.

But it is really why they hate him. And it is really why they’re doing all this impeachment. They hate him. He gets away with violating all of their mandates and all of their codes. He is standing up to their attempts to take away, bit by bit, individual freedoms and liberties so that they can control as much of the population as possible. And the American people are not upset by it. And they’re demanding that he be thrown out of office, they’re so ticked off.

RUSH: “This is a president who just yesterday called a teenager on the autism spectrum a person with an anger management problem. Does that make it harder to defend him?” No. It does not make it hard to defend him. It is not hard to defend Donald Trump at all. It is easy to praise Donald Trump. It’s one of the easiest things in the world to sing the praises and the virtues of Donald Trump. It isn’t difficult at all.

But this time-honored trick that the Democrats have of putting disabled people, they love to focus on their disabilities, folks. They use disabled people almost as putting a gigantic shell of armor around them. You can’t touch them. You can’t react to them. You can’t be critical. You can’t disagree. That would be mean-spirited. They do this on purpose. And, see, Trump doesn’t fall for it. I don’t fall for it. It doesn’t stop me.

And you remember how they went after me for daring to treat Michael J. Fox as he was. He was a serious political spokesman for the Democrats during a Senate campaign for two different Democrats, telling things that weren’t true in the ads.

RUSH: So I just checked the email. And I’m glad I got this email. “Hey, Rush, I think you really ought to think twice about this 16-year-old Greta Thunberg thing.” No, I’m not gonna think twice about it. In fact, I’m gonna double down on it. I’m gonna ask you to think of something.

The answer to the headline’s implied question is below. Most Freepers do not need 30 minutes of Rush 101 to grasp the answer.

What impeachment is really about: “But it is really why they hate him. And it is really why they’re doing all this impeachment. They hate him. He gets away with violating all of their mandates and all of their codes. He is standing up to their attempts to take away, bit by bit, individual freedoms and liberties so that they can control as much of the population as possible. And the American people are not upset by it. And they’re demanding that he be thrown out of office, they’re so ticked off.”

FYI...

I believe FOX is reporting that both Schiff and Comey will be interviewed by warlock Wallace on this coming Sunday With Chris Wallace program.

RUSH will doubtless have a party with this Wallace interview, on his Monday radio program.

Same as in the UK, it is about the left finding any way possible to overturn an election. But you can’t call a parliamentary election here (and Pious Nan is probably happy about that).

I used to record Fox News Sunday from the Nashville Fox
Channel and than watch it After Fox and Friends was over. Now I don’t bother anymore.

I wouldn’t be caught giving Chris Wallace a click, either.

I’ll wait for another Source in order to avoid giving Fox news a rating click or hit, during Sunday’s show with Chris.
#donewithWallace

I sure like that Mike Johnson....He should go places. He gets his points across without a lot of drama. He did a great job in the Judiciary debates...

Every now and then, and all too often for me, Rush's ego gets in the way:

Bill Hemmer has been asking every guest that he’s had on Fox today a simple question, and nobody’s been able to answer it. They should have just called me. If Hemmer wants an answer to his question, I’ll be more than happy to – in fact, I’m gonna do it right here...Said before he intros himself, gives the phone number, etc. Watch his head swell up.

What Impeachment Is Really All About

Simply put, Impeachment is being used as an election ploy to cover for the weak slate of candidates the Democrats put up for 2020.

The real Impeachment reason:

Nadler shortly after Trump won,
“We cannot wait four years to vote Mr. Trump out of office...”

Rep. Al Green, “ We have to Impeach him now or he will be reelected in 2020.”

AOC said of the Impeachment “...preventing a potentially disastrous outcome in 2020.”

The entire Democrat Impeachment is a fraud on America
