RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats are searching for a new chairman of the Democrat National Committee. I have been listening and watching and observing, and I\u2019m developing some ideas. Democrats want to win again, obviously, and I want to offer my admittedly free advice on what they should do if they want to win. Don\u2019t get frightened…<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, the Democrats are, I think, giving us a preview — a forerunner, if you will — of their agenda. They\u2019re telling us what they\u2019re for, they\u2019re telling us what they\u2019re against, they\u2019re very passionate about all of this, and I think this needs to be memorialized. In other words, I think we now see the Democrats defining themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"Oh. Before I forget this, Snerdley told me today that in his review of the news he saw the word “regulation” replaced with “protections” a bunch of times and he thanked me for pointing it out, \u2019cause he would have never noticed it had I not pointed it out yesterday. Keep a sharp eye. You know, government regulations here, the left is changing — and the media is playing along — the vernacular here. All regulations are now gonna be called “protections,”<\/a> so that when Trump revises any or reduces or ends some regulations, they\u2019re gonna be out there saying, “Trump is taking away your ‘protections.\u2019 Trump is ending your ‘protections,'” and it\u2019s designed to panic low-information dependents on government for most of what they have.<\/p>\n

These are the little things that they do that they consistently do that become part of the daily narrative, and you don\u2019t even notice it, and this why I am pointing it out to you here at the onset of this new policy the left has implemented — and the media\u2019s all on board. I predict that you\u2019re even gonna find some government bureaucrats using the term “protections” when they\u2019re talking about regulations.<\/p>\n

When they do, you are going to know that they are Democrat or liberal bureaucrats and that they are held over from previous Democrat presidencies, such as Clinton or Obama. This comes from the thing that you get from guys like George Lakoff (Rhymes With)<\/a>. This is the… Since they can\u2019t openly discuss their issues, since they can\u2019t be honest, this is how they attempt to fool people and trick people into believing that liberal Democrats support things that they actually don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Now, again, I want to review from yesterday that I think one of the great things that\u2019s happening with all of this panic on the left is that they are unwittingly now exposing who they are. They are not able to hide behind camouflage because they\u2019re in such a state of panic. They thought they were gonna win this thing in a landslide even up to nine p.m. on election night, and they find themselves in the arena of ideas now where they never purposely go.<\/p>\n

Because they can\u2019t win in the arena of ideas, because the American people, when they know that liberal is what they\u2019re being pitched, they reject it. The majority of Americans reject liberalism hands down, which is why the liberals always camouflage themselves and talk in terms that belie their true ideological identity, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m trying to assist them here. I think the Democrats should take what they\u2019re doing now and make it their platform for 2018.<\/p>\n

I think they should run on this rabid anger that their constituents are exhibiting. I think it ought to be a major campaign plank. The Democrat Party should openly fight for transgender bathrooms. The Democrat Party… They should be honest. They\u2019re being flushed out. So the Democrat Party should be running campaign commercials now that perfectly illustrate their support for anybody claiming to have a confused gender identity to be able to go into whatever bathroom they want, wherever your kids are, in the name of fairness and tolerance.<\/p>\n

They should just openly come out and admit that they support this. They should then openly admit and campaign on the notion of higher taxes. They should make it clear that they want to neuter and nationalize the police and penalize them. They should campaign on continued unaffordable, state-run health care. They should by all means… I mean, since they\u2019re opposed to what Trump is doing here on immigration, the Democrats ought to go out and let everybody know that they\u2019re for open borders!<\/p>\n

I mean, if this is what you\u2019re doing to stop Trump, don\u2019t you think you Democrats need to do this in your campaigns? You\u2019re showing up at town halls, you\u2019re showing up on cable TV, and you\u2019re making it clear what you\u2019re for. You are for open borders. You are for transgenders being able to use whatever bathroom they want. You are for high taxes. You are for an expanding federal government. You want people to be angry all the time! That\u2019s how you get what you want in politics.<\/p>\n

You need to come out and make it clear that you are for the continuation of unaffordable, unavailable health insurance and health care. And don\u2019t forget sanctuary cities. You Democrats need to make it be unequivocally clear that you support and will expand sanctuary cities. I say this because that\u2019s what you\u2019re too good by virtue of these protests every day. This is what you\u2019re already making it clear you stand for, and anybody who is opposed to any of this is your enemy.<\/p>\n

So I think, why don\u2019t you try it for once? Why don\u2019t you try just running your congressional campaigns in 2018 on this platform, exactly what you\u2019re protesting? Raise all the hell that you want! The more, the better. Just continue running against the will of the people, \u2019cause that\u2019s what you\u2019re doing. You\u2019re running against the will of the people. You\u2019re protesting against the will of the people. Truth be known, that\u2019s what they\u2019re the actually protesting.<\/p>\n

\"\"They think they\u2019re protesting Trump. You know what they\u2019re protesting is you. Who they really hate is you, you who voted for Trump. That\u2019s who they\u2019re really angry at. All of this has led them to the control of five states. They are not even a national party, anymore. Of course, I want them to continue this. Stay angry, stay loud, continue to get in our faces. Continue to promise to restore a massive regulatory state, which is what really fascism is.<\/p>\n

The issues that I\u2019m talking about are front and center because President Trump has put them there. We are in the arena of ideas. Finally, the Democrats are putting their ideas out there. People are once again able to see Democrats and liberals in their natural state. They\u2019re able to see and hear what they\u2019re actually for. This is so huge! Do you know how many years it\u2019s been the Democrats have gotten away with camouflaging who they are and hiding behind the notion that they\u2019re the ones that are compassionate and tolerant and open?<\/p>\n

And now look. Look at what hatred does to you. Hatred doesn\u2019t deliver anything positive. Hatred doesn\u2019t expose anything positive, and these people are bitter and they\u2019re consumed with hatred, and it is on display. And it\u2019s happening in the arena of ideas. You leftists and you people in the media, we finally have you just where we want you: Out in the open being entirely honest about who you are, how much you hate, how delusional and deranged you really are, and how much you really oppose America.<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s on full display now. I think you should memorialize it and actually create a campaign with planks that actually consist of all of these things that you\u2019re protesting. This is home-field advantage for Republicans. Well, it\u2019s home-field advantage for Trump. You know, where the Republicans are gonna the end up falling down on all this is still an open question. Now, a couple of sound bites before we go to the break. We have attempted to…<\/p>\n

You know, I\u2019d better wait on this because this is actually more than just a couple of sound bites. It\u2019s about the nature of the protests and who these people are and why they\u2019re there. And the media, of course, is trying to portray all these protesters as primarily Republicans angry at their own representatives for taking away health care. “It\u2019s Republicans that are showing up. It\u2019s Republicans… There\u2019s some Democrats, too, but it\u2019s a majority of Republicans angry at the Republicans taking away Obamacare.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the media wants you to believe.<\/p>\n

I told you that Obama was not gonna go away. I told you that Obama was going to continue to portray himself as a player and that he would do anything he could to protect the unraveling of his administration. The only thing I was wrong about is how he would do it. I fully expected Obama to be on TV by now — being interviewed by friends at CNN or wherever — and openly criticizing Trump and rallying. It\u2019s not how he\u2019s doing it. He\u2019s doing it with his community organizing groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
