RUSH: Yes, Im amped up. Im amped up. I have dug deep into this inspector general report. Im telling you, if the absolute detail and truth of this and its not complicated. Its one of my objectives today: Make the complex understandable. It is not complicated. If people could be made to be well versed on how outrageous, scandalous, dishonest, whatever it is unconstitutional, treasonous, whatever label you want to apply then it would cancel out everything thats followed.
(griping impression) Rush, you better be talking about impeachment today. Thats where this is going. I am talking about impeachment today. Im talking about the entire cabal, the entire effort to discredit and to remove Donald Trump and overturn the 2016 election, which continues to this day and this impeachment is as bogus as was the Trump-Russia collusion story, the attempt to peddle that. Its as made up as the Steele dossier is made up.
There is nothing legitimate. There is nothing real. Now, Trump and his people have to deal with it. They voted articles of impeachment out of the committee. Theyre gonna have a full vote in the House on Wednesday. But as is always the case, this depends on public opinion, and the Democrats are losing it. Thats not gonna stop them. It hasnt stopped them so far, but its the only way theyre gonna get punished and thats gonna be at the ballot box, and they are going to take a drubbing.
Even Pencil Neck got protested at his own town hall meeting out in California. (interruption) Yes! You hadnt heard that? (chuckles) Well, its a good thing Im here today. You know, many hosts have already cashed it in for the year, taking extended vacations. But not I. In fact, were even gonna be here on December 23rd. I wanted to be here on Christmas Eve, and the staff said, What are we, Bob Cratchits? I said, Okay, I get it. Eh, I understand it. I understand it. But were gonna be here a week from today. Were gonna be here all week this week and then next Monday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained its 10,000th point since Donald Trump was elected. Folks, we have had the stock market go up 10,000 points in three years. Well, Rush, thats just the rich people. Thats just Wall Street. Thats just the hedge funds. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you have a 401(k), if you have any kind of a savings plan or investment plan if you have any plan at all you are invested in the stock market. You may not even know it.
You may not even know what shares you own, but youre there, and it matters to you.
The stock market, under Trump, has become unstoppable. But the point is do you remember shortly after Trump was elected and even beforehand, all of the Never Trumpers and all the experts conservatives included predicting the stock market would tank, that we would have an immediate recession. The simple fact of the matter is that people who have been predicting negative things, frightening things, doom-and-gloom scenarios, do you realize not one of them has been correct or even close?
And, you know, theres something really fascinating about this all this. Success is usually infectious. For example, during the 1980s, the Republican establishment did not like Ronald Reagan, and they did everything they could to prevent him from winning the Republican nomination in 76, then again in 80, and they never thought he was gonna beat Jimmy Carter. They believed all the preelection polls that Reagan was gonna lose, until about two days before the election; then the real polls began to get published.
After Reagan was elected, it was the biggest transformation. Why, all these people that hated Reagan and wanted to be in his administration. They wanted to be in the bright lights that surrounded Ronald Reagan. All of these Republican establishment types that hated his guts wanted to stand in the glow. By the time the second term came around, they had already put in place their plan to undermine him and to make sure there wasnt gonna be another conservative Ronald Reagan.
But during those eight years, the Republican establishment wanted to be Reagans best buddy. They wanted to be on every Air Force One trip. They wanted to be at every Reagan party. They wanted every White House invitation. With Trump, that is not happening. We have unparalleled economic success. We have record-low unemployment 50-year, record-low unemployment. We have every economic indicator up and through the roof. We have African-American unemployment at a record low, Hispanic unemployment at a record low.
African-American job approval for Trump is 34%, ditto Hispanics. This is an out-of-control success train. Its an unstoppable success train. Where are all the Republicans who want to get on board? Where are all the Never Trumpers who want to get on board? Theyre not there. Theyre working even harder to undermine Trump. Theyre joining forces with the left and with the Democrats to undermine Trump because this
Folks, let me tell you something. What Trump has done on the ground in real terms in terms of transforming the American economy Go back to the years of Obama. What were we all being told? This is a new era, an era of decline. We must adjust our expectations! This may be the first generation, you were told, that your kids will not do better than you. This may be a new dawn in America where we have to admit that our best days may be behind us.
Furthermore, we were told that we deserved this because the previous great days of America might not all be justified because of the inherent racism and bigotry and colonialization and whatever other offenses America had committed along the way to becoming a superpower. This is what we were told, and the globalists were having a field day, because they were on the way to succeeding in cutting America down to size.
And then along comes this buffoon and starts talking about making America great again, and it resonates with 63 million Americans who want to live in a great country, who understand the potential for all kinds of freedom and liberty and the things that liberty and freedom make possible and so whatd the critics do? Thats just secret code for, We want to go back to slavery.' Yep, thats what the left has said: Make America Great Again means we gotta turn the clock back 200 years.
We want to go back to where white, Christian men ran the show. It was a total lie. It continues to this day. It is a gigantic blasphemy on the whole concept of making America great again. All it means is lets get back to our founding principles which, by the way, are the definition of conservatism, and theyve got nothing to do with racism or bigotry or homophobia or any of that. They have to do with individual liberty and freedom and the idea that the single citizen is the focus of this country, not the state, not the government.
The citizen and his civil liberties and freedom.
Well, we cant have that!
Donald Trump is doing so much damage, but most of the damage is what you really cant see and people dont talk about. The damage is that Donald Trump is demonstrating that all of this folderol about Americas best days being behind us, about adjusting your economic expectations lower, is all a bunch of garbage. America can continue to grow. Economic opportunity can continue to expand. Wages can go up. Lifestyles can be improved. Standard of living can rise. Life expectancy can rise. America can still lead in every facet: Technology, military, defense, projection of power.
All of these people prior to Trump, the experts, the know-everythings, are being proven wrong every day. Pick a name: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, every enemy of Trump, every Never Trumper that you can think of, theyre all being proven wrong, and they cant stand it.
Its not merely that Trump is implementing the things they have devoted their lives to and they hate him. Its that hes doing it when everybody beneath him says it cant be done anymore. Not only is Trump exposing the existence of the deep state, exposing the existence of the secret cabal that actually think they run things, theyve been forced out from behind whatever woodwork they were hiding.
They now are openly admitting their own existence. And they are demonstrating what their objectives are, and its to reverse all of this thats happened in the last three years. So Trumps exposing them and hes also demonstrating that a conceptual, policy driven return to the founding principles of America actually can work, still does work.
Theres no need to take the word of think tank or academic experts anymore because they have just been nuked by real life. And dont think they dont know it. Carly Fiorina was on CNN a moment ago. (imitating Fiorina) Every Republican has a duty to vote to impeach country. Character is the coin of the realm for me, character, character, character is the foundation from which everything springs, and Donald Trump has no character.
Carly Fiorina, who has done what? Character? I remember when we tried that against Bill Clinton, remember that, Snerdley? Back in 1992, the campaign, Clinton, we attempted to tell people that this guy is a big mistake because his character sucks. You know what they said to us? We dont care about the guys character as long as the economys doing great. In fact, we were kind of wishing we were getting as much as he does.
This attempt to go after character bombed out against Clinton, much to our chagrin and surprise. But we learned from it here at the EIB Network. We learned what a waste of time it is. Besides, how do you define character? If you dont like somebody that tweets, if you dont like somebody that talks like a guy now and then, well, then you can say we dont have any character, but Ill take the character of Donald Trump over Obamas any day or James Comeys or Andrew McCabes or John Brennans or James Clappers. Ill take Trumps character any day.
But, Rush, but, Rush, Trump lies all the time. Donald Trump is probably one of the most straightforward, honest about what hes really thinking about things people youll ever run into. Thats another thing that bothers them.
So I have some questions. How is it that Robert Mueller and his vaunted staff of Hillary Clinton donors and lawyers, how did they not determine the Steele dossier was garbage? The IG report is out, and it is clear the Steele dossier was made up. It was gossip. Much of it was overheard being repeated as jokes in a bar. It was a fraudulent, it was phony, it was used to get FISA warrant applications four times. Its an abject series of lies.
How come Mueller and his staff werent able to find that? Without the Steele dossier, there would never have been any warrants, and without those warrants the Trump campaign would have never been spied on. Without that they wouldnt have been able to plant all these supposed allegations made by anonymous sources in the intelligence community and elsewhere. It seems like a simple place to start.
If youre Mueller and youre gonna do an investigation, you want to find out whats up here, how do you not discover what the Steele dossier was? How do you not discover who paid for it? How do you not discover how phony it was and how it was used, how do you not discover the FISA court was lied to? How come Mueller couldnt find this out when the IG found it out in a week? Why didnt Comeys FBI determine the Steele dossier was garbage at the very beginning? Oops. They did. They used it anyway. They knew it was garbage.
Comey is still out lying saying that he didnt know that and he thought there were many more materials used in the FISA application than the Steele dossier. Hes lying through his teeth about this. Its almost like Comeys good friend Robert Mueller was just another hack trying to run Trump out of office. The real question, why did we all have to wait for the Horowitz report to find out Trump was a victim of abuse of power?
We have to wait three years into this, when Devin Nunes has been documented to be true. He wrote his memo February 2018, FISA report: The dossier compiled by Christopher Steele on behalf of the Democrat National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Devon published this in a memo, everybody pooh-poohed it, everybody said Nunes is lying, everybody said Nunes needs to be kicked off the Intelligence Committee. Everybody said Devin Nunes is sick, Devin Nunes is a partisan, we cant listen. He was dead-on right. Almost two years ago.
Why did we even have to wait two years for this Horowitz debacle? You know what all these investigations have turned up, very simply? Among other things, but one of the big standouts, Donald Trump is the only person in Washington who did not abuse power. In this whole sordid affair, Donald Trump is the only person who didnt abuse power and, in fact, was a victim of abuse of power, not a violator.
Calling Mistress Mandy.
GOP pols who actively participated in the impeachment sham, too.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
I think that there are very few, if any, who voted for Trump who regret that vote. So they will all vote for him again.
But there are a number of Hillary/other voters, who will vote for Trump based on his considerable achievements, and lack of a strong Democrat alternative vision for the future.
To paraphrase Mitt Romney and the 47%, there is a critical mass who will never vote for Trump, who will automatically for whatever Democrat is nominated.
So I do think it will be close and could be a long election night, but I think Trump’s got a good chance at re=election.
Disclaimer: Don’t try this at home. These stunts were performed by trained professionals
Disclaimer: We must beat the Democrats at the ballot box. Under no circumstances is the Rush Limbaugh program advocating violence in any way.
Wish the other side felt that way Rush.
Which ones?
Democrats now control the ballot boxes(in many ways). They need not be concerned about how anyone actually votes.
I know political operatives work on trying to increase a candidate’s share of , take your pick, women’s vote, the black vote, the gay vote, the Hispanic vote, millennial young people, etc.
I hope Trump and the GOP work hard on the battleground states. The same states which decided things in 2016 will be decisive in 2020.
If Trump can hold Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin, along with all the other states which supported him, he wins reeelction.
We know the Dems. will work hard to peel off some of those states.
Let’s hope and pray there isn’t some “black swan” event which disrupts things.
Why limit it to just the ballot box...?
House Judiciary GOP members. They must be unseated for breaking their oath.
Unless there is an alternative candidate in every congressional and district, the DemonCrapts are unlikely to be punished. Yes, perhaps the 31 Representatives elected in 2018 in Blue districts might lose their jobs, but I doubt Nanny Pelologosi or Jerold NadsLiar will lose their seats. The way those two will lose their seats is when they are horizontal and at room temperature.
I really can’t decide whether it is better for these 31 dems in Trump districts to vote against impeachment and show they are more aligned with their constituents, or to vote for it and let all the political blowback rain down upon them at their next re-election. There’s virtually no chance my Rep will vote against it, but I think this could motivate the R party to tee up a really competitive candidate to run against her next year. Last time, the guy was an Infowars idiot spouting 911Trutherisms and still pulled 37% of the vote even after the R party yanked their support of him.
I tuned out as soon as he started talking about BEING OUTRAGED!! It amounts to a hill of beans if no one is in prison!! I’m sick and tired of hearing about the outrage.. While the swamp snakes slithering around like Mamba snakes without a care in the world while patriots like us develop ulcers over the outrage and no freakin Justice!! Sorry folks I am just so over that already because I know that Barr is not going to do diddly squat to those bastards! If so they would’ve already been behind bars! Hannity and Rush are really clanging symbols..all outrage and no results!
BINGO!! That’s why they are doing what they are doing ...breaking every rule in the book because they know how to manipulate the ballot box!! They did it in 2018 and will do it again in 2020, massive voter fraud! I hear the voting machines were produced in China! Not good!
What’s so vile and vulgar about all of this - as if we need anything more - is how these Deep Staters, far Leftists, subversives, RINOs, and never-Trumpers (did I miss anyone?) want to drag the country through this power-drunk witch hunt during the holiday season. If any of them got ‘inconvenienced’ out of retribution, there would be about 60-odd million suspects to start accounting for. And I would predict a lot of collateral damage.
Just the ballot box will NOT be enough.
NO Compromise,
NO Quarter.
Victory must be total and surrender unconditional.
Think Japan 1945
I am a registered Republican and I be damned if I vote for a libertarian kook
By all means, screw the Constitution, then.
