RUSH: I don\u2019t mean to be that redundant here, but Trump doesn\u2019t have any kind of support system like a Democrat president has.<\/p>\n

Obama had the media.<\/p>\n

Bill Clinton had the media and whoever else.<\/p>\n

But Trump only has his voters.<\/p>\n

Trump does not have the media, other than some in the so-called conservative or alternative media. Trump only has his supporters. Most people, you elect the president — you elect him because he\u2019s gonna implement his agenda — and you sit back and you watch it happen. ‘Cause you figure, after you voted, there\u2019s not much more you can do. But Trump is gonna need his supporters backing him up, and the evidence of them being there is gonna be crucial to the media. Otherwise, the media is just waiting to run stories about how Trump\u2019s lost his base. They can\u2019t wait. I\u2019m sure those stories are written. The only thing they have to plug in are the details like what state the people that are gonna supply the quotes live in.<\/p>\n

But you know the stories are written, “Yeah, I voted for Trump, I love Trump, but I feel so let down now. I had no idea Trump was actually going to only let Christians in.” You know that quote\u2019s already been manufactured waiting for somebody to agree to it. You know that story is written and others like it. And they\u2019re just waiting.<\/p>\n

Reuters has already tried. Reuters went out to the great Midwest to try to find people fed up with Trump, and they couldn\u2019t yet, and they\u2019re seething over it. They\u2019re not happy. I\u2019m looking for that story right now, and I have found it. Right here I have it in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.<\/p>\n

Here you go. “Trump\u2019s Heartland Voters Shrug Off Global Uproar Over Immigration Ban<\/a> — Many of President Donald Trump\u2019s core political supporters had a simple message on Sunday for the fiercest opponents of his immigration ban: Calm down.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yeah, what monsters these Trump people are. Imagine having such an attitude. Reuters goes on to talk about how this is so obscene, so inappropriate, so unbelievable that people could still be sticking with Trump.<\/p>\n

“In the St. Louis suburb of Manchester, Missouri, 72-year-old Jo Ann Tieken characterized the president as bringing reason into an overheated debate. ‘Somebody has to stand up, be the grown up and see what we can do better to check on people coming in,\u2019 she said. ‘I\u2019m all for everybody to stop and take a breath \u2026 Just give it a chance.\u2019 … In the electoral strongholds for Trump, residents seemed nonplussed about the uproar –” Good for you! But Reuters is not happy, nor is anybody else in the Drive-Bys.<\/p>\n

Now, I mentioned in the previous hour something you can look forward to as part of this. As you know, Trump won. But we are not a direct democracy. It isn\u2019t gonna be — in fact, it has happened here, but our old buddy Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight, Hillary wins the popular vote, loses the Electoral College, loses the presidency, therefore a majority of Electoral College state voters voted for Trump. Trump is doing what he said he was gonna do. Oh, have you seen the stories — and there are some out there — “We didn\u2019t really think he was gonna do it. We never thought he was gonna do all this stuff.”<\/p>\n

And a lot of people are playing off the famous Salena Zito analysis of Trump<\/a> which said that Trump\u2019s supporters take him seriously but not literally, and Trump\u2019s opponents take him literally but not seriously, and people are now starting to say, “He meant it, he meant it, we knew he meant it. And he\u2019s full of it, and these people that supported Trump, they\u2019re full of it.” And so what they\u2019re trying to say is Trump voters were fooled because they didn\u2019t think Trump really meant it. They just liked the fact that Trump was fighting back, but now that Trump actually appears to mean it, do we have a constitutional crisis?<\/p>\n

Because many people believe that we live in a democracy, and that means majority rules, which means a majority voted for Trump, not the popular vote, but the Electoral College winner, therefore Trump is doing what he said he was going to do. Expect a debate to surface along the lines of, “Hey, just because he said he was gonna do it and now just because he\u2019s doing it, does it make it right? Are the people always right, or are the people wrong?” And they\u2019ll use things like global warming. They\u2019ll say nonscientists think that global warming doesn\u2019t exist. Should they prevail or not?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Remember, liberalism is all about defying the will of the people. The Obama administration governed against the will of the people for eight years. The American people didn\u2019t vote for Obamacare. He didn\u2019t tell \u2019em that that\u2019s what it was gonna be. He lied to people about Obamacare. He lied to them about what it was gonna cost. He lied to the people about doctors and nurses and their insurance plans and all that.<\/p>\n

The liberal community, liberalism, progressives, whatever you want to call \u2019em, by definition, have to govern against the will of the people because they are a genuine minority in this country. And when that happens the leftists trot out political scientists, “Well, of course we don\u2019t live in a direct democracy. The American people can\u2019t possibly be informed as their elected representatives are. There are just certain things the American people are unaware of. We can\u2019t allow the American people to determine their own fate. That\u2019s why it\u2019s up to the elected representatives to overrule the American people when they American people do dumb and say stupid things.” And that\u2019s how they operate.<\/p>\n

And a reverse arrangement of that argument is about to surface. ‘Cause right here, Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight, here\u2019s the headline: “Trump Is Doing What He Said He\u2019d Do.<\/a>” The subhead: “Is that what his voters wanted?” It\u2019s a very long piece devoted to the possibility that Trump\u2019s voters didn\u2019t bargain for this, not this executive order on banning all these people from the country. They didn\u2019t bargain for this.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s a way to undermine Trump, lied to his voters or — well, can\u2019t say lied \u2019cause he\u2019s doing what he said he was gonna do. So the story has to be that his voters really didn\u2019t get it. And they really didn\u2019t intend for him to do this. This is classic on the left, by the way. Trump says he\u2019s gonna do A, B, C, and D, people like that and they vote for him to do A, B, C, D, and E. Trump gets elected, starts doing A, B, C, D, and E and the media says, “His voters didn\u2019t expect him to do this.”<\/p>\n

They just make it up. And it\u2019s all part of this planned resistance. The fact the matter is, Trump had sometimes five rallies a day. At every one of these rallies he was very clear, exceptionally clear on his agenda, particularly when it came to immigration and national security. I think the people who voted for Trump knew specifically and exactly what he was gonna do and didn\u2019t have a problem with it then and don\u2019t now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>RUSH: Incredible. This is incredible. Mr. Snerdley, the rest of you, do you remember there was a TIME magazine cover — many of you won\u2019t remember this but we\u2019ll find it, we\u2019ll get the cover and we\u2019ll put it back up there at RushLimbaugh.com — TIME magazine did a cover with me on the cover. I was not mentioned but once in the story. They put me on the cover to sell the issue, and it was a doctored photo of me with a churlish grin with cigar smoke coming out of my mouth. “Is Rush Limbaugh dangerous for America?”<\/p>\n

The theme was, is there too much democracy? Remember in the early stages of this program, long before even Fox News came up, the left started worrying that maybe there was too much democracy, maybe there was too much opinion from the American people, there was too much involvement from the American people. The left always does this when they\u2019re losing. When they are losing elections, when they are losing on policy fights, when they\u2019re perceived to be losing anything, they always revive this theme: Is there too much democracy out there?<\/p>\n

Well, lo and behold, from the Brookings Institute, by Grace Wallack: “Is Too Much Democracy Responsible for the Rise of Trump?<\/a>” I told you this was gonna happen. I love this. I told you, started with Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight, Trump was elected, but did his voters actually mean this? Did they understand what Trump was gonna do?<\/p>\n

The meaning is, Trump\u2019s voters are stupid and they are to blame for what happened here. Trump is an ignoramus. Trump should never have been president. Trump\u2019s an absolute disaster and the voters made it happen, and that means there\u2019s too much democracy. That means there\u2019s too much participation. That means the American people don\u2019t know enough, really, to be entrusted with the chore of selecting the president.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what all of this means. And you could make book that whenever the Democrats lose, a variation on this theme is going to appear. And right here it is at the Brookings Institute inside their think tank, “Is Too Much Democracy Responsible for the Rise of Trump?” And it begins this way. “Trump is arguably the most unlikely, unsuitable, and unpopular presidential nominee of a major party in American history.”<\/p>\n

He was elected for crying out loud, but yet he\u2019s the most unpopular. See how that works? This according to scholar Thomas Mann at the Brookings Institute in his new paper — yes, he wrote a paper. Not even a book. This thinker at the think tank, Thomas Mann, he\u2019s been around as long as I have, he\u2019s been around longer. I remember reading about this guy when I was in Sacramento in 1984. I mean, the dinosaurs, they\u2019re still there. Thomas Mann in his new paper about competing theories on Democratic access.<\/p>\n

“But, Mann argues, Trump did not come out of nowhere. As economic stagnation and concern over refugee migration in much of Europe.” This actually is from last summer, folks. This even presages, predates. This is from last June when they\u2019re worried that Trump\u2019s voters are so stupid and they don\u2019t know enough to be electing Trump. It happens when they\u2019re losing, when they think they\u2019re gonna lose.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll find that TIME magazine cover, maybe even the text. It seems that there were two, because they ran that cover story on me, “Is Rush Limbaugh good or bad for America,” I forget which, and the next week the cover was of Fidel Castro with a glowing story on the paradise he had created for his people in his little Caribbean, well, jail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But the theme was, “Oh, my God, Limbaugh, look at all these people listening to Limbaugh, they\u2019re calling Washington, there\u2019s too much democracy out there. There are too many people participating who don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about, too many people participating that don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing.” And now too many people that didn\u2019t know what they were doing electing Trump.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to read something to you from the TIME magazine story from 1995. It has me on the cover: “Is Rush Limbaugh Good for America?” It says, “Talk radio is only the beginning. Electronic populism threatens to short-circuit representative democracy. Email and other tech talk may be the third, fourth or Nth wave of the future, but old-fashioned radio is true hyperdemocracy. Very hyper. Like the backyard savants, barroom agitators and soapbox spellbinders of an earlier era, Limbaugh & Co. bring intimacy and urgency to an impersonal age. … What\u2019s new is that today the radio rightists are wired into the political process.”<\/p>\n

They go on and on and on to talk about there\u2019s too much democracy, too many of you people involved, and the reason that there are too many of you is that you\u2019re ignorant. You do not know what you\u2019re doing. You fall for the lies told by the wrong people, Trump being the latest example of that. And they\u2019re back to the theme now. There\u2019s too much democracy going on out there. Just like Senator Ernest Hollings said during (chuckles) one of the economic bubbles, “There too much consuming going out there.” Remember that?<\/p>\n

“Too much consuming going on out there. It\u2019s caution inflation, mama! Too much consummation going on out there.” He really said that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
