I\u2019m sick of it. I\u2019m fed up with it. I have watched it happen for now 29 years, and I\u2019m not gonna sit here and stand or sit mute while it happens again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Folks, there is no desire for unity by the people on the left. It\u2019s a trap, It\u2019s a sucker play, and what makes me nervous is that we have Republicans who want to fall into that trap. I don\u2019t know about Trump yet. Way too soon for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you see what Colin Kaepernick did on Election Day? He didn\u2019t vote! Here\u2019s a guy who may be one of the primary reasons the audience levels in the NFL are plummeting to the cellar &#8212; here\u2019s a guy who claims he\u2019s doing it because of social justice, that he can\u2019t stand to sit in a country and be in a country where minorities are so poorly treated &#8212; and on the one day where he really has something to say and do about it, he sits on his butt and doesn\u2019t go vote.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;ACLU has already announced they\u2019re going to sue Trump. Folks, there is no desire for unity by the people on the left. It\u2019s a trap, it\u2019s a sucker play, and what makes me nervous is that we have Republicans who want to fall into that trap. I don\u2019t know about Trump yet. Way too soon for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Republican Party is stronger in Washington than it has ever been since the 1920s! We have more power in Washington, DC &#8212; the Republican Party &#8212; than at any time since the 1920s. It is huge!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to delve deeper into the actual size of this Democrat loss and deeper into my fears about this business of unity. I don\u2019t want any misunderstand. I\u2019d love it if it were possible and it is, but not right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our party, members of our party have tried to appease the Democrats and the left for as long as I have been doing this, and it never, ever works. It never makes the media less mean. It never causes Democrats to say they love us and like us more. Not that that matters, but it seems that some people want that to be the case. It never changes anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hillary Clinton was charged with making sure the Obama legacy lived on. Obama himself put his legacy, his agenda, his entire administration on the ballot. Barack Obama campaigned saying, &#8216;Save my agenda. Save my legacy.\u2019 What happened? It was totally repudiated. It was sent packing. The people of this country told the Obama agenda to take a hike.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s nothing worth watching when Colin Kaepernick takes the field, unless you like car wrecks. Yet look at all the attention that the media gave him. Why did they give him so much attention? What was he doing, really? When you get down to brass tacks, what was he doing? He was ripping America, and that\u2019s what they liked, and that\u2019s what they wanted to promote &#8212; and the American people have had their fill of this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nobody had any idea what had really happened. I\u2019m talking about the demise of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party since 2010, the midterm elections, they lost 900 seats in that election in the House, in the Senate, go to governorships, mayors, town council, if you go all over the country, they got a shellacking.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been governed by a minority against our will, and the illusion has been that they are the majority and gaining the majority and growing the majority. The illusion has been that we are the ones dwindling away to nothing, and it\u2019s been the exact opposite.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The pollsters didn\u2019t miss anything. They didn\u2019t get anything wrong. They just didn\u2019t tell us the truth about what they were seeing in these polls. They weren\u2019t honest about trying to find what was actually going on.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are still being treated by the media to a picture of America that isn\u2019t true.&nbsp;They want you to believe that a majority of Americans are fit to fit to be tied and angry over the election of Donald Trump and as one of which we can never unify unless Trump caves on everything in order to get peace.&nbsp;That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to make everybody think.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hear so many on our side talk about now the need to cross the aisle and the need to unify. The time to unify is after we have forced the left into surrender just like we did the Japanese in World War II.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat Party and the agenda of Barack Obama were entirely, totally repudiated in this election, as was the Democrat Party.&nbsp;It was a bloodbath. That is how bad it was.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The country is happy! We are ecstatic over the outcome of the election. It\u2019s the left that it isn\u2019t happy. It\u2019s the left that\u2019s never happy. It\u2019s the left that\u2019s trying to intimidate you and manipulate you, and I\u2019m trying to help you spot it so you can resist it.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Six million fewer Democrats showed up to vote for a person who thought she was going to be coronated, so loved and adored we were told she was by the Democrat Party.&nbsp;She had to steal her own nomination from Bernie Sanders.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Folks, we are lied to every day by the Democrat Party, which is the media.&nbsp;We are lied to about how we are viewed in the country.&nbsp;We are lied to about how they are viewed.&nbsp;We are lied to about how the country loves their policies and loves them.&nbsp;We are lied to each and every day, and it is the daily soap opera that I have warned about and talked about that the media gets together and scripts, the daily narrative.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat Party happens to be the receptacle for anti-Americanism in America today.&nbsp;If you don\u2019t like America and if you\u2019ve got problems with America, that\u2019s where you go.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are people protesting, yeah, and they\u2019re burning flags, yeah. But they\u2019re being paid to do it, and it\u2019s made to look like this country is fed up with Donald Trump already. It\u2019s made to look like this country is livid and outraged over the election result, when it isn\u2019t. The country is happy! We are ecstatic over the outcome of the election. It\u2019s the left that it isn\u2019t happy.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It sounds really wonderful to say in the afterglow of an election, to talk about putting aside our differences and unifying. It sounds wonderful, and maybe that\u2019s what Americans want to hear. I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s just what people think they have to say right now on our side.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is disunity because the left views this as constant, never-ending war.&nbsp;We have tried. Our party, members of our party have tried to appease the Democrats and the left for as long as I have been doing this, and it never, ever works. It never makes the media less mean. It never causes Democrats to say they love us and like us more.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrats anger needs to be placed where it should be, and that\u2019s on the shoulders of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, because those two people have single-handedly seen to it that the Democrat Party is its weakest since the 1920s.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s so bad that Democrats in California won to secede from the nation &#8212; and many people are saying, &#8216;Let them.'&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To me, Donald Trump shows what has been possible all along for the Republican Party. We could have won in 2008. But we didn\u2019t oppose. Had we opposed the Democrat agenda, we could have beaten it, as did happen this past Tuesday. We have not lost our country.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Obama\u2019s policies are on the ballot, without him, the Democrats get shellacked. When he\u2019s on the ballot with his policies, they win. So therefore it\u2019s not his policies; it\u2019s him and whatever he means to voters.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it\u2019s simply that people are afraid to vote against Obama for fear that somebody might find out they voted against him and for fear that they think that will say to other people. I think it\u2019s dominated by his race. There are other factors as well.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat Party has been decimated. They have no bench.&nbsp;They don\u2019t have anybody bringing up the rear in case Hillary lost.&nbsp;They have literally been shellacked.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am Mr. Ecstatic, Mr. Laughing, Mr. Jocularity, Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB Microphone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I want to take some time today to try to explain why I\u2019m nervous and destroy some myths that seem to always pop up after elections about unity and crossing the aisle and working together and almost apologizing for winning.
