RUSH: What did I tell you yesterday? What did I tell you? So here comes the big news. Lets see. This is Thursday, right? So on Tuesday, late Tuesday, theres the Drudge headline: McConnell Says He Doesnt Have the Votes to Stop Witnesses! I said, Dont believe it. Theres some kind of a play going on here. Theres some kind of a move being made. Lo and behold, do not doubt me, folks. It was only a matter of hours until we learned that the Republican caucus lunch
What happened is McConnell had, I guess, a 20- or 30-minute meeting with Lisa Murkowski; then an entire caucus lunch, and they came out of there, and the news was exactly what I thought was gonna be. They dont have four Republicans who are gonna vote for witnesses, and thats why the Democrats This guy from Maryland, Chris Van Hollen, tomorrow supposedly is going to make a motion to allow the chief justice to call for witnesses and the chief justice to call for documents.
We dont know how thats gonna go because the chief justice is obviously on the Democrat side here. It may be more proper to say that the chief justice doesnt like Trump. I mean, this we know. The chief justice is a Never Trumper, and yesterday Rand Paul attempted to ask a question that included the name Eric Ciaramella Eric Ciaramella is the whistleblower and the chief justice said (paraphrased), Were not gonna allow that. You cant trick me! Were not gonna have the whistleblowers name here.
Everybody knows who it is, but were not gonna let it happen here, not on the floor of the United States Senate. Now, let me tell you what I think is really going on here, folks. It is a little You gotta see the stitches on the fastball here, gotta be able to see the spin on the curveball. But I want to tell you whats going on, and if youve been following the Drive-By Media, this may seem not what youre hearing. But then again, thats why youre here. Thats why Im here.
Thats why youre here, to get this unique take. There was a distinct change in mood and a distinct change in tone yesterday, and I think that the change of events is a reminder that you in this audience and a lot of people should not listen to establishment Republican squishes or the Never Trumpers. They have been advocating that Trump change his strategy, that Trump admit that it wasnt a perfect call, that Trump do this and do that in the hopes of making this go away. Well, Donald Trump knows and hes demonstrated now for how many years running thats not how you deal with these people.
You dont deal with bullies by letting em have a punch or two at you. The way you deal with bullies is force, and the left and their buddies in the media represent bullies in this entire four-year charade here to overturn election results of 2016. It is my contention the only thing the left understands is force, and I think they will melt if Senate Republicans just stand firm on this, and Ill tell you why I think theyll melt here in just a second.
But if the president had been listening to the advice that hes getting from some of the (sigh) well, call em RINOs or establishment Republicans I think wed be in dire straits right now. The president is not listening to them. Trumps guys, I think, are doing one heck of a job, and they can shut this farce down by tomorrow. One thing thats happening that youre not gonna see reflected anywhere in the Drive-By Media: Adam Schiff is figuring out that hes gonna be discovered and outed as a pathological liar if witnesses are called.
If witnesses are called and if we get anywhere near the entire process involving this whistleblower, Schiff knows that he is toast. Trump is gonna win this one, folks. Hes gonna win this one like he won the Mueller episode. You know a lot of people on our side didnt think Trump was gonna beat Mueller. Oh, my God. The forces of government are arrayed against Trump! One man cant beat this stuff back. But the reason we were always confident here is that theyve never had any evidence.
Now, I dont want to sound like a broken record, but in this case, theres no impeachable offense. There is no high crime or misdemeanor. The whole thing is manufactured and made up. Carter Page is now finally gonna start suing Democrats, the DOJ, and the Perkins Coie law firm. Its long overdue. Tulsi Gabbard, by the way, has tried to serve Hillary Clinton with a lawsuit. Twice Hillary Clinton refuses service. Hillary Clintons running around hiding from the process servers. Theyll come up with a trick. Theyll find a way to get her served.
But heres Hillary Clinton, supposedly interested in justice and fairness. Shes out there saying that Tulsi Gabbards a Russian agent. Tulsi wants to sue her! Back to all this. Something is up. It looks to me Despite the momentary glimpses you get as presented by the Drive-By Media, I think the Democrats not all, I think some of them are in the process here of caving while trying to disguise what theyre doing. You know the inspector general There ere 18 witnesses that Schiff had in his underground bunker there where Republicans got no witnesses.
There were 18. Weve only heard from 17 of them, and the witnesses we didnt hear from was the inspector general testimony. That has been redacted. If that testimony ever gets out Schiff knows hes lied about Ciaramella, the whistleblower. Schiff knows that he has lied from the very beginning. Schiff knows that he was instrumented in establishing the whistleblower. He was instrumented in directing the whistleblower. He was instrumental in structuring the whole thing and he knows that if that comes out, if the beans get spilled on that, then whats next?
The beans are gonna get spilled on the Biden caper. The Democrats have so much at stake here. They want to make it look like its Trump who is at great risk, but it is the Democrats. Schiff is at great risk if he values his credibility and his reputation, and so is Biden. I dont think, at the end of the day, either of those two actually want anything theyve done in this regard to be exposed. Now, theyll be huffing and puffing about the need for witnesses and the bias of Republicans and the fact that Republicans dont want to get to the truth.
But thats just huffing and puffing. Schumer was so out of control today that Fox News cut away from his press conference. (impression) We are faced, going forward, with the very kind and nature of government we were going to have if Donald Trump cannot be removed from office. He didnt say that but its what he means. If Donald Trump cannot be removed from office, we may not ever be able to keep the kind of government we have.

RUSH: Okay. So the bottom line here: Im not sure. I dont think they have the votes to call witnesses, and I think they know it and I think that what isnt being reported and probably nobody will ever admit. But I think there are a lot of people on the left, Democrats, secretly happy about this. When this is all over, folks, just like all the rest of this stuff has been over, it is Adam Schiff whos gonna look stupid. It is Adam Schiff who is going to be exposed. You know, one thing about Trump.
They ridicule the fact that he watches Fox News and that he comments on whats happening on Fox News. But Trump is a TV expert and veteran. He can spot TV reality potential. The people he has brought on to represent him are pretty good on TV. They know how to use television far better than the Democrats do. The Democrats dont want to put Hunter Biden up there. The Democrats dont want Joe Biden talking about this at all. Remember the best thing about this.
One of the best things about this going on right now is the slow strangulation of the Biden candidacy and the ascendancy of Crazy Bernie. This has got the Democrats so worked up, they dont know what to do about it, folks! I didnt think Crazy Bernie had a chance. Now its getting close to 50-50 he might make it, and Trump can beat him easily. Bernie is a nasty, snarly guy. Hes a nag. He has leeched off government his whole life. Its a slam dunk, and they know it. Theyre worried!

RUSH: Heres Pelosi. I guess this is at a press conference yeah, weekly press briefing just today. Its only eight seconds long, but this makes my point in my in-depth analysis in the previous half hour.
PELOSI: Well, he will not be acquitted. You cannot be acquitted if you dont have a trial, and you dont have a trial if you dont have witnesses and documentation.
RUSH: Thats the best theyve got now. (impression) Hes not gonna be acquitted in a trial because you dont have a trial unless you have witnesses and documentation. What did I tell you? Theyre trying to dirty up the acquittal. Thats all they can do here.

RUSH: ABC News is running a story. (interruption) What are you laughing at? What ? I know Im a naturally funny host, but whats so funny? (interruption) Oh. Well, if a lamebrain If you clear a lamebrain leftist to go through and they hang on, thats why half my brains tied behind me just to be equal, fair with them.
Anyway, ABC News is reporting that the trial ends tomorrow. Now, theyre quoting Republican sources, but they still ran with the story. Everybody knows this thing I told you at the beginning of the week it was gonna end this weekend, cause its the Hawkeye Cauci. The Democrats have to get out there and they havent made a case, and Ill guaran-damn-tee you theres a lot of Democrats who would love to get Adam Schiff out of the spotlight yesterday. Do not doubt me on this. Youll never get the satisfaction of them admitting it.
And in public, theyll back him up (as, of course, they would), but privately, theyre cursing this guy, cause they all think they had Trump dead to rights, and they had a stacked deck. They had Schiff not granting Republicans any rights, any witnesses they had the media on their side and they still cant get rid of the guy! Jerry Nadler and Schiff? Are you kidding me? These are the two stars they think they had. Anyway, here is Schiff. This is two Schiff sound bites here. This is from today. He held a press conference. Maybe waving the white flag would be a way to describe it. See what you think here

CALLER: Hey, Rush, good afternoon from the great state of Michigan where our presidents gonna be in Detroit today at the Dana Corporation and talking about the impact of new trade agreement. Ive been wondering, if Im Bernie Sanders and Im sitting there looking at the fact that this is probably my last campaign for president, that I got hornswoggled out of the nomination the last time, and theres a chance that three Republicans may vote in favor of questioning which would maybe throw it to a tie, the chief justice would then have to make the tie-breaking vote Im just wondering if Bernie might pull something like voting present. Thats why hes not voting for it or against it but present, which would then allow him during the next vote which is for acquittal to go ahead and vote against acquittal. Im just wondering what you think about that.

CALLER: Absolutely. I think hes sitting there seething because he cant be on the campaign trail, and the latest polls I saw had Biden ahead of him on Iowa, and if they go to witnesses, this things gonna be drug out for months
RUSH: There arent gonna be any witnesses. There arent gonna be any. But I have a different take on Crazy Bernie. I think Crazy Bernie (am I wrong?) is cleaning everybodys clock in Iowa, right? Crazy Bernie is perfectly fine with Klobuchar and Warren (Fauxcahontas) and the rest of them not being able to go to Iowa this weekend to campaign. Hes got a ground operation there thats apparently doing pretty well. So I think Everybody wants a big win in Iowa simply cause of the momentum it gives you going into New Hampshire.
You dont have to win Iowa to win the nomination in either party. But (sigh) See, Bernie cant vote present. Bernie cant do anything that cuts Trump a break without sabotaging his own campaign. Remember what this lunatic base is demanding. Trumps gotta be frog-marched out of wherever, sent to jail, maybe executed. If Crazy Bernie does anything that can be made to look like its helping Trump, hes gonna have hell to pay.
Not to mention that his other senators opponents in there would be able to accuse him of wimping out or playing politics for his own personal gain (chuckling) while impeachments going on. I dont know. The last two calls, people asked me questions Im not even on the same wavelength of looking at it that way. So thats why Im having to pause here. Im having to consider things I havent even thought about so Im having to think on the fly. My fly reaction here is that Bernie cant afford to do anything that appears to be giving Trump a break.
I could be wrong about it.
I am so glad that old windbag is still on the air
“He has leeched off government his whole life.”
Fair enough, but is Biden any different? I think the real concern is that Sanders hasn’t been trained to fleece only the designated targets. While destroying the American middle class, he may recklessly go after Democrat Big Money as well, or even target it first. Gasp.
GOP doesn’t want to waste anymore time on this farce. The vote to acquit will happen on Brexit day!
The Majority leader can overrule the Chief Justice with 51 votes.
Roberts must know who the “leaker” is...I won’t call him a “whistleblower” because Schiff knew he couldn’t protect him, nor keep him to himself unless he called him a “whistleblower”.
There is no fat lady. The dems have ridden their horse into the vortex and are destined to repeat their stupid program ad infinitum.
They have no other play in their book. I cannot wait util November.
ItS up to the Turtle......he can say vote how you want or vote how I tell you .......you get no help or money for your re-elections
Hillary keeps looking better and better!!
(for any opponent, that is)
I don't trust the turtle. Deep down he is still an never Trumper but he doesn't know how to let loose of the Tiger's tail without getting eaten.
