The media is going to make them look normal. The media is going to make these people look like they are the majority. The media is going to try to convince you that somehow something went wrong and that you are the real minority in this country and you didn\u2019t deserve to have this election win on your side. It\u2019s all an outrage. This is all they know in terms of how to behave and how to position things.<\/p>\n And the fight is really just beginning. However evil and intense the election was, I just want to make sure that you are all prepared for what\u2019s coming down the road, because it isn\u2019t gonna be pretty. And it\u2019s gonna be really important for Trump to have people just like him surrounding him, and that is fighters, people who are fearless, who will not be daunted by this onslaught that\u2019s coming. And I think he does, in many respects.<\/p>\n RUSH: There you have it, folks, back on November 22nd. Did I not call it? I\u2019m not bragging. I\u2019m telling you that this is not hard to understand. This is exactly what they have been telegraphing that they were gonna do. You know what I was thinking about over the weekend? Whatever happened to that old belief that independents, moderates, the precious the moderates and independents, they don\u2019t like all this bickering. Remember that? They don\u2019t like partisanship. They don\u2019t like the arguing. It makes them really, really nervous, we were told.<\/p>\n Yeah, we were told that the independents and most people want the parties to work together, and with the Republican criticism of Obama, every time the Republicans refuse to go along, if they argue, if they raise their voice, then these independents are gonna be running right back to the Democrat Party because they don\u2019t like all the bickering and the rioting and the failure to get along. Whatever happened to that belief? That was a trick that the Republicans fell for I don\u2019t know how many years. The media would tell people that and the Republicans wouldn\u2019t argue, they wouldn\u2019t disagree, they wouldn\u2019t try to stop Obama on the belief that it would anger independents.<\/p>\n And now this. And there\u2019s not one word from the media that this kind of behavior is going to cause people to abandon the Democrat Party even more. But it is. It most certainly is. What you cannot take away from this, what you can\u2019t avoid is, Donald Trump is the president, Donald Trump won the election, and Donald Trump is implementing his agenda starting over the weekend and continuing into today.<\/p>\n And these children, these mindless twits can continue to run around and act their age or act how crazy and insane and unhinged and deranged they are. And it\u2019s not gonna put the Democrat Party back together. The Democrat Party has been decimated. The Democrat Party, as you all know, is falling apart. The Democrat Party is losing seats, seats, seats in every election, and this kind of behavior is just one of the many reasons why. And it\u2019s going to continue to diminish the power and the strength of the Democrat Party because this is not normal.<\/p>\n And yet the media — this is key. I was warning you about this last Friday. This is exactly what happened in Indiana with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that Governor Pence then signed. This same kind of behavior took place, and back then we thought, “Oh, my gosh, we\u2019ve lost the country. These people are now the majority, we\u2019re the minority. What happened?” Because the media treated that as though everybody agrees with this, everybody thinks this Indiana religious liberty bill is dumb. Everybody thinks it\u2019s bigotry. Everybody thinks it\u2019s discriminatory.<\/p>\n It turns out to be just the opposite. So the media\u2019s doing the same thing here. They can\u2019t even tell us why these women protested. They can\u2019t even tell us. What are they protesting? Are they really protesting that a guy was caught on videotape saying he wanted to grab women by the …? Really? Is that what got? Is that how delicate? Is that how sensitive? Is that how fragile these women are, really, after years and years of feminism?<\/p>\n Meanwhile, we\u2019ve actually had a sitting Democrat president accused of rape. We\u2019ve had a Democrat president who engaged in an extramarital affair or I don\u2019t know how many of them with interns and the like, and these same women embraced it. The same women had no problem with the allegation of rape on the part of Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n Donald Trump has done anything but utter a bunch of words and win an election and these women simply can\u2019t take it, from Madonna to Ashley Judd. I mean, it\u2019s embarrassing. But, folks, it\u2019s not gonna rebuild the Democrat Party. And they can\u2019t even tell you what they\u2019re doing it for. They\u2019re just having a little temper tantrum.<\/p>\n Remember after the \u201994 congressional elections when the Republicans took control of the House back after 40 years? Peter Jennings at ABC News was running around saying the voters had a temper tantrum. No, no. This is a temper tantrum. But this is liberalism. This is what it is, and this is who they are, and the media is doing… Did you hear what Chuck Schumer? Chuck Schumer, when he got up during the inauguration <\/a>and made his remarks about the different Americas that are out there, the transgenders, the LGBTQs — you know, all these different quirky little individual tiny little groups — there are some people that booed.<\/p>\n He hasn\u2019t said a word about the felonious behavior of anti-Trump protesters. He hasn\u2019t said a word about whatever these screwball women were doing. Little Chuck gets booed and all of a sudden civility has somehow been violated. By the way, can somebody explain something to me? It\u2019s a bit of a rhetorical question. But what in the world is liberal about transgender? What is the connection? Well, the transgender population of America cannot be even one-tenth of 1%, and yet it has become a major, major, major focus of the American left and the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n What is it about transgenderism that automatically makes it liberal? I mean, there\u2019s an answer to the question. I\u2019m asking it rhetorically to make a point. It\u2019s just funny as it can be. Folks, I know it unnerves you, too, because I\u2019m sure that many of you were hoping that these temper tantrums would end, and once the inauguration took place, I mean, that\u2019s reality: Donald Trump\u2019s the president. We still have… You\u2019re upset at all this, and I know why, and I understand it. You think this stuff\u2019s gonna prevail.<\/p>\n You think somehow — you don\u2019t know how, you don\u2019t know what it means, how it\u2019s gonna manifest, but you think — this is gonna work. You think this mindless, childish behavior (which is embarrassing) is gonna work. It\u2019s gonna end up damaging Trump, it\u2019s gonna penalize Trump, it\u2019s gonna lead to Trump\u2019s removal. I\u2019m sure many of you have the fear, and that\u2019s the trick in the coverage of this kind of stuff by the Drive-By Media, because the Drive-By Media purposely makes this stuff look like it\u2019s perfectly normal.<\/p>\n It\u2019s entirely normal, and that\u2019s how the media makes it look like you who elected Trump are the minority. It\u2019s how the media tries to make it look like these people, the anti-Trumps — no matter where you find them, be it the women\u2019s march, the Democrat Party, wherever — that\u2019s the majority of the country, and somehow some weird aberration is happened here. And it traces back, of course, to the Russians hacking the election and somehow stealing it from Hillary, who had the election in the bag even though she never did.<\/p>\n The media\u2019s now writing pieces about, “How dare Trump send Sean Spicer out to criticize us on Saturday! How dare he dispute what we said about crowd size? How dare Trump dispute what we say! How dare Trump.” That\u2019s their attitude. Whatever they say goes. And whoever they say about it is supposed to shut up and just accept it and maybe reach out and try to build bridges. But the Trump philosophy is to hit back, to fight back, and to call \u2019em liars and to call \u2019em fake news, and they don\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n “How dare Trump! How dare Trump send his spokesman out? How dare Trump! Alternative facts?” Yeah. On, Meet the Press, Kellyanne Conway is up there and they\u2019re talking about crowd size. Do you realize how irrelevant the crowd size angle is? The crowd size angle is just another media ploy to try to make it look like this whole Trump thing is unreal, that it didn\u2019t legitimately win, that it does not represent a majority of Americans. So they\u2019ll look at anything they can. They\u2019ll doctor photos of crowds taken at the inauguration of Obama and photos taken at the inauguration of Trump.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll take some pictures of the Trump inauguration three hours before the inauguration — they will include areas of white closed off to the public for security, but they won\u2019t mention that — and they\u2019ll put side by side photos of Obama\u2019s election at the moment he gave his speech in 2009 and try to say, “See? Nobody\u2019s there! Nobody cares about Trump. This is all baloney. This is all phony. This didn\u2019t really shoulda happen. Look, we owned it when Obama was there, and there\u2019s nothing to see with Trump. So Trump calls back on \u2019em and says, “Your guys are making it up. Here\u2019s the facts, here\u2019s the TV ratings, he\u2019s the truth about it.<\/p>\n “News Media, Target of Trump\u2019s Declaration of War, Expresses Alarm<\/a>.” (Gasp!) No! The media is “alarmed” folks. “For wary Washington journalists, it seemed only a matter of time before Donald J. Trump\u2019s presidency would lead to a high-tension standoff between his administration and the news media. But on Day 1? The news media world found itself in a state of shock on Sunday, a day after Mr. Trump declared himself in ‘a running war with the media\u2019 and the president\u2019s press secretary, Sean Spicer, used his first appearance on the White House podium to deliver a fiery jeremiad against the press.<\/p>\n “Worse, many journalists said, were the falsehoods that sprang from the lips of both Mr. Trump and Mr. Spicer on Saturday.” This is rich. The architects of fake news accusing Trump and Spicer of lying. You\u2019ve heard by now that TIME magazine had a reporter that tweeted that Trump had gotten rid of the bust of Martin Luther King in the Oval Office. Did you see that? Well, he didn\u2019t. The guy somehow either was looking at a picture of the Oval Office or was in there or something and didn\u2019t see, at first glance, the Martin Luther King bust and assumed that Trump had thrown it in the trash because the bust of Winston Churchill was back.<\/p>\n Obama had thrown that one out.<\/p>\n The Winston Churchill bust was back but the TIME magazine guy couldn\u2019t see the Martin Luther King bust, so he wrote that Trump had gotten rid of it. But he hadn\u2019t. It was there, and it had not been moved. And the media insists in all this<\/a>, “Well, they\u2019re entitled! That\u2019s what media is. You know, media, they\u2019re allowed to lie. They\u2019re allowed to make mistakes because they\u2019re the fourth estate.” They can do it, but Trump can\u2019t. Anyway, and day one… They\u2019re right: It\u2019s only gonna intensify, folks. We\u2019re not gonna have peace. We\u2019re not gonna have peaceful coexistence. It isn\u2019t gonna be the case, and I\u2019ve known this. It\u2019s why I\u2019ve said for I don\u2019t know how many years: The left is not to be gotten along with. The left is to be defeated and defeated and defeated, on their playing field and on ours.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: By the way, when you looked at that women\u2019s march, I mean, you saw it, right? You spent some time watching. You couldn\u2019t avoid it. That was the only thing that was news over the weekend, right? It wasn\u2019t even a march! There were so damn many of them packed in there they couldn\u2019t march, it was like Sardine City. Can you imagine the aroma. Anyway, when I watched it — and I didn\u2019t spend much time, folks.<\/p>\n I really didn\u2019t. All I could think of was Undeniable Truth of Life number 24. Do you remember what that one is? “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to mainstream society.” If it was ever proved (and it\u2019s been proved countless times), it was proved again over the weekend with this so-called Women\u2019s March which we have learned was largely bought and paid for by George Soros. I don\u2019t know how much that means to people, but basically Hillary Clinton\u2019s people were involved in arranging for this, is what it boils down to.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Something else that President Trump did, he renewed the federal policy, renewed it, that forbids international nonprofit groups from receiving federal money from providing abortion services. The ban dates back to the Reagan presidency, was rescinded by Clinton, then restored by Bush, then rescinded again by Obama. And so Trump has now renewed the policy that forbids international nonprofit groups from receiving any federal money for providing abortion services.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t seem to me like Trump is listening to those women protesters. And that\u2019s just going to infuriate them even more. Really. Do they not understand that kind of behavior is one of the many factors that led to Trump\u2019s victory? The more they do this — look, I understand, folks, it\u2019s tough, because you don\u2019t want to see this. I mean, we want the country to be united, but that\u2019s a myth. I\u2019m not pessimistic here in this regard; I\u2019m realistic.<\/p>\n The country united as people commonly wish it were so never has been. There has always been arguments in the country over politics, which is how we govern ourselves and govern our affairs. There are always arguments about the best ways to do it. Of course those arguments have now descended into full warfare. We\u2019re in the midst of a full-fledged, 24\/7 political war. That\u2019s why I mentioned it at the top of the program.<\/p>\n Remember all those times in the past where we were warned not to criticize Obama. It\u2019s gonna send the independents running right back to the Democrat Party. Really, is this kind of behavior a magnet for anybody other than the already deranged and unhinged? How would you like it if what you saw over the weekend was the base of your party?<\/p>\n How would you like it if that kind of behavior is what your allies try to convince everybody else is normal? That you are the oddball, you\u2019re the weirdo, you voted for Trump, you voted for Trump for specific reasons and you\u2019re the problem, you\u2019re the screwball, you\u2019re insane. What we saw all weekend on TV, the women\u2019s march, that\u2019s normal. How would you like to be on that side?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s listen. You know, it\u2019s a shame because it\u2019s a family show, we cannot air a whole lot of what was said at the microphones at this feminazi march, but we can air some of it. Now, here\u2019s Ashley Judd<\/a>. Now, in all appearances, all outward appearances we have here a normal, healthy American woman who\u2019s married to a race car driver. Did you know, by the way, that her husband\u2019s a guy — I think they\u2019re still married. I don\u2019t even know, \u2019cause I don\u2019t follow gossip stuff like that.<\/p>\n Dino Franchitti. He\u2019s Scottish, not Italian. I didn\u2019t know in Scotland they had anything that went over 80, but, anyway, he\u2019s her husband, and apparently she had to go to therapy because she is such a controlling person. She had to go to therapy to learn how to be more tolerant with her own husband, and she openly talked about it. These people that do things like that openly discuss it and talk about their growth as human beings. They are divorced. Congratulations for Dino, as you will soon hear.<\/p>\n So all outward appearances, she\u2019s an actress, she\u2019s appeared in movies with crazy titles like the Ya-Ya Sisterhood or some such thing. But then she opens her mouth, and you wonder what happened, what in the world went wrong, why and how does something like this happen to anybody? And I think feminism\u2019s obviously failed when you look at Undeniable Truth of Life number 24, but on the other hand women have now surpassed men in vulgarity and in disgusting behavior, and it was on display at the million — I mean, we can\u2019t even call it what they call it. The million “poo-sai” march. Here\u2019s two from Ashley Judd.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TrumpBattleFists-b-3-1.jpg\")
<\/a>RUSH ARCHIVE: I feel duty-bound to warn you and to give you a heads-up about what we\u2019re gonna face. Donald Trump\u2019s gonna have perhaps the most embattled presidency in — well, certainly in our lifetimes, and I dare say maybe in modern American history. They\u2019re not going to quit, and they are a new kind of stupid. They are not logical. They make no sense whatsoever. But they are going to have the media on their side, and that\u2019s the danger.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/632332528-259x300.jpg\")

<\/a>I didn\u2019t hear it during the actual ceremony, but it was reported people booed, and Senator Schumer is very upset about it.<\/a> That\u2019s right. “Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday harshly criticized President Donald Trump\u2019s supporters who booed his comments about inclusiveness moments before Trump was inaugurated. ‘The fact that saying these things which are usually accepted by every American met the displeasure of the crowd doesn\u2019t speak too kindly of that crowd,'” Schumer said.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-012317-Judd.jpg\")
<\/a>They\u2019re covering these comments from Ashley Judd and Madonna as though it\u2019s just common and ordinary and everyday and completely understandable, and the odd thing going on is Trump. The weird, inexplicable thing is Trump actually being inaugurated. And what\u2019s normal is a bunch of women wearing hats on their heads that are made to look like a poo-sai. It\u2019s normal, and it\u2019s normal for Ashley Judd to come out and make a total fool of herself and normal for Madonna to do the same thing, and it\u2019s normal for all these women to show up all over the world and (crying) cry and whine and moan.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-012317-Maddona.jpg\")
<\/a>“Here\u2019s the social media tune-in factor. We had maybe the second most watched presidential inauguration in history,” and the media doesn\u2019t like Trump hitting back. When Trump hits back, that means Trump\u2019s bad. That means Trump\u2019s unpresidential. That means Trump is not playing by the rules. That means Trump is not acquiescing and understanding who really runs that place. That is Trump not getting who the real power in Washington is. It\u2019s the media! In fact, here\u2019s the New York Times and a media analysis piece by Sydney Ember and Michael Grynbaum.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/632344658-300x200.jpg\")

<\/a>You know, for all this talk of Democrat obstruction and the media trying to do everything they can to help the Democrats, can you imagine the job? If there is a mainstream Democrat left — and I\u2019m not sure there is, in the Senate or the House, I think they\u2019re all left-wing radical wackos like this. Can you imagine trying to placate this base? I mean, if these mainstream Democrats exist, they\u2019ve got practically an impossible job in keeping the Democrat Party unified, to hell with the country, just keeping that party unified, \u2019cause it is falling apart, it\u2019s breaking apart.<\/p>\n
