At the request of EIB Network affiliates, we\u2019re gonna start the show basically six minutes early so that we are here to establish our presence before the actual inauguration begins, which is at high noon. So we\u2019re gonna be here at 11:55 with six minutes of stage setting, and then we will have our microphones and cameras there.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have our live, raw feed of what\u2019s happening up there, and we\u2019ll either let it go or we\u2019ll have comments. You know how we deal with press conferences and so forth. You won\u2019t have to wait \u2019til it\u2019s over for analysis. You\u2019ll get instant, on-the-spot analysis, but it won\u2019t be intrusive. You will not mind what I\u2019m doing. Well, we don\u2019t want it to be intrusive. We don\u2019t want to intrude on Trump\u2019s day of glory. I mean, stop and think of what\u2019s happened here. Put this actually in perspective. Who is Donald Trump?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-218203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TRUMPPORTRAIT-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TRUMPPORTRAIT-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TRUMPPORTRAIT.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>He is the epitome of the outsider, and therein lies the root of the unhinged derangement of everybody in the Washington establishment. They\u2019ve all known who he is. TV star, &#8220;You\u2019re fired!&#8221; Maybe a billionaire, certainly a millionaire. He has his own plane, braggadocios. Everything is gilded in gold. Golf courses here and there. Beautiful women all over the place. At times vulgar, at times coarse, but always funny. And, if you go back, take a look some headlines, some covers of tabloid newspapers and other newspapers on June 17th, the day after Trump announced.<\/p>\n<p>What will you find?<\/p>\n<p>They had him buried after the first day. All the TV analysts were saying, &#8220;Can we just stipulate that this campaign ended up yesterday? Trump\u2019s a boob! Trump\u2019s an idiot. This was embarrassing. This was horrible.&#8221; For the next year and a half, the Drive-By Media and the Washington establishment expected every day for the Trump campaign to implode. They expected Donald Trump to literally blow it up, take himself out. When that didn\u2019t happen, they then tried to console themselves by telling themselves, &#8220;He really doesn\u2019t want to win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s doing this for other reasons, to hype TV ratings for whatever TV show or build new golf courses or help his business. But he doesn\u2019t really want to do this.&#8221; And then the Drive-By Media never did take Trump seriously, and that actually ended up hampering Hillary Clinton because the Clinton campaign relied solely on the Drive-Bys for their news about the Trump campaign and the Drive-Bys basically told Hillary that Trump didn\u2019t have a chance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/195341\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s a Looney Toon! I mean, look at this video from Access Hollywood. Here\u2019s Trump out there refusing to go the debate in Iowa, the dustup with Megyn Kelly. This guy\u2019s not serious.&#8221; So Hillary and her camp thought it was nothing but let the time pass and she\u2019s going to be president. She basically didn\u2019t campaign. She hung around with her elite, rich friends raising money, accepting donations from foreign countries and foreign entities for whom she was going to pay back when she became president.<\/p>\n<p>Their world has been turned upside down by somebody who, it was said, didn\u2019t have the slightest chance because he didn\u2019t know what he was doing, because he\u2019s an outsider, and it\u2019s not possible for an outsider to come in here and hit a grand-slam home run their first time up at bat. And Trump has done all of that. And CNN, on the eve of the inauguration of the next president, does a story speculating on what would happen if that president is assassinated before he takes office. That, I think, is a perfect illustration and microcosm of who they are and who they &#8212; meaning the left and the media and the Democrats &#8212; have always been.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-011917-Trump-Plane.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218253 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-011917-Trump-Plane.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-011917-Trump-Plane.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-011917-Trump-Plane-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>RUSH: I just saw a picture of Trump and his wife Melania &#8212; the lovely and gracious Melania &#8212; at the top of the stairs getting off the airplane at Joint Base Andrews.
