RUSH: I\u2019m gonna begin the hour here with a personal apology, and every time I do this the staff on the other side of the glass starts giving me weird looks and, “What are you apologizing for?”  I want to apologize for my near loss of composure in the first hour<\/a> of this program.  In my memory there are two or three times in the first hour I was literally on the verge of screaming in here, which I never do. <\/p>\n

I pride myself on having a good governor on these things and always trying to find the humorous and lighthearted aspect of things, but I tell you with Michelle Obama — and I just saw this right before the program. I didn\u2019t know this had happened. I mean, literally two minutes before the program began somebody puts a piece of paper in front of me, “Michelle Obama says we\u2019ve lost all hope.”  It just set me off.  I was already irritated, this whole Russian hacking, I\u2019m just ticked. <\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been ticked ever since Monday having to even talk about this \u2019cause it means I\u2019m being sucked and roped into it like everybody else is.  It\u2019s one big gigantic bogus piece of fake news because Donald Trump won this election. It was a legitimate election. The Russians didn\u2019t have a damn thing to do with it. The Democrats — here, see, here I\u2019m going again. <\/p>\n

The Democrats lost this election because they deserved to lose this election.  They have presided over the last eight years of misery.  Nobody in their right mind — here I go — would want any more of it.  The idea that Hillary Clinton lost this because there was some sort of cheating, that Vladimir Putin wanted Trump in the White House \u2019cause Trump is some kind of lackey. <\/p>\n

You wait.  The lackey is Obama.  The lackey is Hillary Clinton.  The lackey is the Democrat Party which thinks the United States is the problem in the world.  They are the people that pose the great threat, not us, and not Trump.  People that want to make America great again, people that want to restore this nation to superpower status for the goodness of the world, for the benefit of everybody in the world.  That\u2019s exactly the proper order of things.  And the Democrat Party simply doesn\u2019t believe that that\u2019s the role for the United States because they think we are the reason for the problems starting with the destruction of the planet and then wherever you go from there you\u2019re just going further insane. <\/p>\n

They deserve to lose.  In a sane, reasonable world, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and every one of them deserved to lose.  In fact, it was a great reinforcement that common sense still lives and exists in this country. I was near the boiling point when I listened to these crybabies whine and moan how it\u2019s not possible for them to lose, there has to be some chicanery involved, there has to be some cheating involved. It had to be the Russians, and if not the Russians then this new guy in the Philippines. And if it wasn\u2019t him, it\u2019d be Castro from beyond the grave. And if it wasn\u2019t him, it\u2019d be the ChiComs. And if it wasn\u2019t him or who knows, it would be somebody, because Lord knows nobody would say “no” to Democrats, despite the fact that that\u2019s exactly what voters have been doing since 2010. <\/p>\n

The Democrat Party has been shellacked every election starting in 2010.  All it took was two years of Obama, and this country saw the light.  But nobody reported that because the Democrat Party is the media.  This election was legitimate.  It makes sense.  It is entirely warranted by virtue of events.  It is restorative.  It restores confidence in the American people, my confidence in them.  It restores confidence in a number of American institutions.  And in my view, the country has been saved and so that\u2019s every reason to be upbeat and excited.<\/p>\n

For everybody, this is a benefit for everybody, including these unhinged lunatics on the left who unfortunately are the product of propaganda and disinformation and indoctrination starting — I mean, for crying out loud, George Stephanopoulos\u2019 14-year-old daughter, when Trump is proclaimed president, starts running around the house shouting, “No abortion!”<\/a> A 14-year-old, what are they doing to their kids, much less ours?  Fourteen years old, Trump wins and the first thought of a 14-year-old girl is no abortion.  What must this little kid be taught? <\/p>\n

<\/a>This is sick.  Every bit of this deserve to be defeated.  Everything about the Trump campaign was up lifting. I realize there are people that don\u2019t like Trump and I realize that there are conservatives who think he\u2019s come along and blown the conservative movement to smithereens.  I\u2019m sorry; that had already happened.  That\u2019s a discussion for a different day.  We\u2019ll get into that at some point, I\u2019m sure, down the road. <\/p>\n

But for now the Electoral College, “We should delay it, we need intel briefings.”  This is just insulting one day after the next in this never ending drumbeat of fake news designed as real news that in itself is a lying presentation of what a majority of American people think.  I\u2019m just sick of it.  And seeing Michelle Obama, “We\u2019re outta hope,” just sent me over.  So I apologize \u2019cause I — (interruption)  Oh, I know.  I know he\u2019s coming. Is this his final press conference of the — (interruption) oh, the final of the year.  Well, you know damn well what this is gonna be. <\/p>\n

I can predict what this is gonna be. (imitating Obama) “Well, you know what?  I knew the Russians were trying to impact the election all the way back in September. Reports have been that I didn\u2019t do anything about it, but I did.  I told Putin, I said, ‘Vlad, I told you I needed more flexibility. I\u2019d have it after the election in 2012, you didn\u2019t wait, Vlad.'”  Whatever he does, it\u2019s gonna confirm this fake news narrative that\u2019s out there that the Russians did this.  I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s gonna handle it happened while he\u2019s in office and he either tried to stop it or didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n

But, believe me, he\u2019s gonna continue this theme.  He\u2019s not gonna go against his wife.  His wife says it\u2019s hopeless, and he\u2019s gonna continue the theme in his own way.  He\u2019s gonna do what he can to erode confidence in the election outcome.  He\u2019s gonna do what he can to continue to portray Trump as a questionable and dubious, maybe dangerous figure. <\/p>\n

Was this thing supposed to have started already?  When\u2019s it slated to start?  I see the cameras, they\u2019re eagerly waiting for the guy to show up. I can\u2019t believe he\u2019s gonna do this.  He\u2019s not gonna do this and finish it before this program\u2019s over.  That will not happen.  I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this thing doesn\u2019t start until like 2:45, 2:50, and we\u2019re geting ready for our final commercial break, give away our final iPhone of the day, that\u2019s when he\u2019ll come out there and start or maybe not even \u2019til after three o\u2019clock.  But I know what we\u2019re gonna get from this guy.  And I know that it\u2019s pointless to get mad about it.  I\u2019m just apologizing \u2019cause I normally don\u2019t get that, shall we say, loud.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
