I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I appreciate you taking my call. The question we need to be asking ourselves is: Why are these Republicans accepting the media narrative? And when I ask myself that question, there\u2019s only two things that it could be. One, they have an inability to learn how to beat the Democrats, or they\u2019re progressives that are actively working against what we voted for &#8212; and in either case, we have to get rid of them. We have to find true candidates that are not politicians. We need to find people with common sense and critical-thinking skills that can understand how to beat these folks, because what they\u2019re trying to do is ruining this country, and we\u2019ve known it for my entire adult life. I\u2019ll be 50 years old this year, and these people are actively working against what this country was founded for.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Name some names here. What Republicans are you referring to?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-223974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-DC-Skyline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-DC-Skyline.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-DC-Skyline-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: I mean, what in the world is Chaffetz thinking? Do these guys not understand? I mean, McConnell? I don\u2019t&#8230; You know, I heard Gingrich on with O\u2019Reilly the other night talking about how McConnell knows more about how the Senate works than he ever will. Well, who cares if he knows how it works? He\u2019s not getting anything done. I mean, we\u2019ve had, what, six times we\u2019ve sent bills to Obama to repeal and replace Obamacare, but we don\u2019t have a bill waiting? That\u2019s absurd, Rush. It\u2019s ridiculous, and it is insulting to me as a person that voted for change, to even try to make me think that it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Jason Chaffetz has a great reputation as a great guy. He\u2019s thought of as a reliable conservative. Why do you think that he is jumping on this train suggesting that Sessions might be wise to recuse himself as the investigation goes forward? Kevin McCarthy is the other. Senator Lindsey Graham has now said that he thinks that&#8230; (paraphrased) &#8220;He\u2019s my dear friend, too. Jeff\u2019s one of my closest friends, but I really think Jeff needs to get out of there during this investigation, too many potential conflicts.&#8221; Why do you think these guys do it? You think it\u2019s they\u2019re either &#8220;progressives&#8221; or that they\u2019re just don\u2019t know how to fight the Democrats? Which one do you think it is?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I think they\u2019re progressives. I do not believe that these guys have a&#8230; I don\u2019t think they have our best interests at heart. They have getting elected, they have getting reelected as their primary goal every day when they wake up: &#8220;What do you have to do to get reelected?&#8221; And until we start holding them accountable at the ballot box, running viable candidates against them&#8230; Make them expend some capital. Make them understand that we\u2019re not playing games anymore. They do not want our federal government turned back over to the people. They want the power. They want the influence.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, okay. I\u2019m sure you have a lot of people who agree with you on that. I\u2019d like to trace this back and try to find things that happen over and over again when you\u2019re looking for explanations. Because if you can find repetition, you\u2019ll probably find an answer. And the one thing that appears to me here is that the Democrats, because they are the media, still establish the narrative for Washington every day. And whatever that narrative is, the Republicans &#8212; for some reason (I think it\u2019s force of habit and years and years of conditioning) &#8212; still become subservient to whatever that narrative is.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the narrative that we\u2019re talking about here is the Russians hacked the election, interfered with the election and screwed Hillary out of the presidency. That\u2019s what all this is. Now, when did this start? I\u2019ll tell you, red flags went up for me months ago, folks. Months ago when this talk about the Russians interfering in the election started, when I saw Republicans just willingly accept that premise and acknowledge that, &#8220;Yeah, yeah, we need to get to the bottom of this,&#8221; that\u2019s when the danger flags went up. I\u2019m talking about during the campaign last summer and into last fall.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-223953\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HillaryWiki-Leaks-Hillary-1011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HillaryWiki-Leaks-Hillary-1011.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HillaryWiki-Leaks-Hillary-1011-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>Because this is a complete concoction of the Democrat Party. It is a complete narrative &#8212; daily soap opera script, however you want to refer to it &#8212; of the Democrat Party. And, of course, the media is the implementation engine for this. And that got started because of the hack on the John Podesta emails that ended up on WikiLeaks, and then we had an official investigation as to how that happened and some reputable IT people said, &#8220;Yeah, well, we got some fingerprints we\u2019ve seen in there from the Russians!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What they really said was the fingerprints are from two different Russian intelligence agencies who didn\u2019t know that the other had also hacked. And then there\u2019s a hacker by the name of Guccifer that people were trying to track down. But they think that it\u2019s the modern equivalent of the KGB in one instance and another Russian intel group that were trying to hack both the DNC and the RNC computer networks, and that they succeeded in the DNC by getting past their security and their firewalls. But apparently the RNC network was so secure the Russians couldn\u2019t get in.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we\u2019ve been told. Because, you see, folks, I\u2019m sure it was very embarrassing for Podesta and the Democrats and Hillary &#8212; infuriating, too &#8212; to have all of those emails out there. They never denied the contents of them. They did their best to ignore \u2019em and they tried to jump on the press for publishing. The press didn\u2019t focus all that much attention on \u2019em, not the Drive-By press. It just became an automatic conclusion that the Russians did it. And I guarantee you, if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, there wouldn\u2019t have been another word said about this. Not a syllable. There wouldn\u2019t be an investigation.<\/p>\n<p>There wouldn\u2019t be anybody pulling their hair out. Obama wouldn\u2019t have left a trail of evidence for investigators. They wouldn\u2019t have cared. Because it\u2019s nothing more than an artifice that has been created by the Democrats and the media, first as a protective measure &#8212; a defensive measure &#8212; against their own incompetence. It\u2019s their own incompetence that led to Podesta\u2019s emails being discovered. It\u2019s their own incompetence and laziness. These are the people that rig elections! Let us not forget, the Democrat National Committee rigged the primary for Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>That was discovered as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the Podesta emails proved this, and some of the other things that were found.<\/p>\n<p>The Bernie Sanders campaign is fit to be tied to this day over what happened to them. If you want to talk about any actual tampering or interfering with elections, you have to go right to the Democrat National Committee and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, because that\u2019s where whatever they\u2019re alleging here actually did happen. They made it possible. They engineered it so that Bernie Sanders did not have a prayer of winning the nomination. He was never gonna win it. Never. It was made to look like it was legitimate, that he had a chance and so forth, but the game was rigged, and it was stacked against him from the get-go. And this has been established.<\/p>\n<p>And now all of a sudden that is ignored and instead we\u2019re trying to connect dots on some sort of conversations that have happened that nobody can find any evidence for that have resulted in Hillary losing. And I\u2019m gonna say this, I\u2019m gonna keep saying it until it becomes an automatic reaction to people. The story here is the effort on the part of the Democrat Party and their willing buddies and accomplices in the media to sabotage, to undermine the election of Donald Trump and to sabotage his presidency.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/03\/02\/barack-obama-and-his-deep-state-operatives-are-attempting-to-sabotage-the-duly-elected-president-of-the-united-states\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-223952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ObamaShadow-Govt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ObamaShadow-Govt.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ObamaShadow-Govt-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>We even had a story today in the <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/03\/02\/barack-obama-and-his-deep-state-operatives-are-attempting-to-sabotage-the-duly-elected-president-of-the-united-states\/\">U.K. Daily Mail that Valerie Jarrett has moved into Obama and Michelle\u2019s House<\/a> in the Kalorama section of Washington, DC. She\u2019s moved in, she\u2019s an adult. Presumably she has the money to afford her own crib. But she\u2019s moved in with the Obamas. This is highly abnormal, if you ask me. An adult woman moving in with Barack and Michelle, she\u2019s not family or whatever. This is odd. This is really odd. The oddity, the abnormality, the weirdness is all on the Democrat side, to me. And the U.K. Daily Mail says that the Obama home is the nerve center for this effort to undermine the Trump presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Let me read to you a paragraph from The Politico story today, the one that\u2019s headlined, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2017\/03\/trump-speech-congress-midterms-235589\">With a Single Speech Trump Rattles the 2018 Landscape<\/a>.&#8221; The Democrats figured 2018 would mark the beginning of their comeback. They haven\u2019t the slightest idea what their reality is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s far too early in his term to speculate about what the 2018 political climate might look like. And one speech can\u2019t paper over a polarizing policy agenda,&#8221; supposedly Trump\u2019s. But if a large part of Democrats\u2019 plan for the 2018 midterm elections was to let Trump stumble his way into a pile of Republican losses, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/03\/01\/sincere-and-confident-trump-confounds-the-establishment\/\">his speech to Congress on Tuesday reminded them it would not be that easy<\/a>. At the same time, it reassured Republicans spooked by recent town hall intensity that the president might not be the flat-out liability he once seemed in the chaotic early days of his presidency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do you realize how much fake news there is in this paragraph? Trump\u2019s agenda is not polarizing. A majority of Americans voted for it. A majority of Americans are clamoring for it. A majority of Americans are asking the Republicans in Congress to get off their hands and implement it! Trump\u2019s agenda is not polarizing except to the establishment and to the Democrats and the media. But it\u2019s not polarizing out in the country.<\/p>\n<p>All of these protests at town halls? Fake, bought and paid for. We know how this happened. &#8220;It reassured Republicans spooked by recent town hall intensity the president might not be the flat-out liability &#8211;&#8221; Trump\u2019s not a liability. Trump\u2019s the president. Trump won. Trump\u2019s supporters are clearly behind him and that speech he gave I\u2019m sure has expanded his base and the intensity of support that he has.<\/p>\n<p>These protests at town hall meetings? Are we really to believe the Republicans were, &#8220;Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, Trump\u2019s killing us, oh, my God.&#8221; That\u2019s what they want everybody to believe \u2019cause that\u2019s the story they want to create, that is the narrative they want you and millions of Americans to accept. It is arrogant, it is condescending and it\u2019s contemptible. What is polarizing in this country is the Democrat Party agenda. What is polarizing and divisive is the Democrat Party agenda and the things they have been trying to do.<\/p>\n<p>If anybody\u2019s out of touch in this country, if there is this big divide and big disconnect, it\u2019s in the Democrat Party and the people of this country. When I read things like the Republicans are worried this and worried that, what I hear is that the Republicans still allow the Democrats to establish the narrative every day in Washington to which everyone responds. And today it\u2019s Sessions needs to recuse, Sessions needs to be charged with perjury, Sessions needs to quit because he lied to Senator Franken about talking to the Russians. Which I guess I better deal with that and help you to try to understand that next, so don\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, look at this. The Democrats are now demanding a criminal probe. I told a friend of mine last night, when I first got wind of this Sessions business last night, I said, &#8220;You keep a sharp eye because they are going to demand impeachment or perjury. They\u2019re gonna demand a perjury charge against Sessions and go after him on a criminal basis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/03\/02\/claire-mccaskill-is-a-hypocrite-but-nobody-cares\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-223939\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/McCaskillTweet-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/McCaskillTweet-6.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/McCaskillTweet-6-284x300.jpg 284w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>And that\u2019s what they\u2019re talking about. Their probe is more anal than it is criminal, but they\u2019re out there demanding it. And Bret Baier on Fox just pointed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2017\/03\/02\/claire-mccaskill-is-a-hypocrite-but-nobody-cares\/\">Claire McCaskill tweets and the hypocrisy<\/a>. She\u2019s tweeting (imitating McCaskill), &#8220;I\u2019ve been on the Foreign Relations Committee for a thousand years, and I\u2019ve never talked to a Russian ambassador.&#8221; And then we find two tweets of hers bragging about meeting them.<\/p>\n<p>But again, you can point out all this stuff all day long and it\u2019s not gonna change the narrative. What\u2019s the media gonna say, &#8220;Oops, okay, so McCaskill\u2019s done all this, too? Okay. Well, I guess we\u2019ll pull back on Sessions.&#8221; It ain\u2019t gonna happen that way. That\u2019s not how this stuff is gonna get beaten back. And it has to be beaten back. The Republicans ought to be running that town. The Republicans won the election. Where is the attitude of victory? Where is the glow of victory on the faces of Republicans in that town? I don\u2019t see it yet.<\/p>\n<p>Look, for all of you out there frustrated by this, I just want to tell you, I\u2019m with you. The idea that the Democrats still get to set the narrative in that town. I know they have the media and so forth. There\u2019s no reason we have to play along with it. And now this Adam Schiff guy, he\u2019s a Democrat congressman, he\u2019s the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee. He\u2019s been out there just whining and moaning for the past two weeks on this investigation. And he\u2019s been saying, we don\u2019t have anything.<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s a story here in The Politico: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2017\/03\/schiff-doj-235615\">Rep. Schiff Accuses Comey of Withholding Information on Russia Probe<\/a>.&#8221; Poor Comey. Now he\u2019s in the middle of it again. Now the Democrats are accusing him of having investigatory information that he\u2019s not sharing with them. There isn\u2019t any! The New York Times has admitted that none of these Obama surrogates, saboteurs, deep state embeds, whatever you want to call \u2019em, in three different New York Times stories now, the reference is clear that none of these people have found any evidence.<\/p>\n<p>All it is is nameless sources alleging that it is possible and requires an investigation. But so far there\u2019s no evidence to support allegation. No evidence. And so Schiff is demanding that Comey turn it over. There isn\u2019t any. You know, I\u2019m starting to get suspicious of this word &#8220;investigation.&#8221; Do you realize what that all now encompasses?<\/p>\n<p>When you hear the word &#8220;investigation,&#8221; what do you think? You think of a bunch of private eye type guys, detectives and cops, and they\u2019re always on the go, and they\u2019re out there and they\u2019re walking the streets and they\u2019re beating the shoe leather and they\u2019re interviewing people and they\u2019re taking notes and they\u2019re turning things upside down, they\u2019re getting search warrants.<\/p>\n<p>When you think of an investigation, you think of something that has a lot of action to it. Well, the way &#8220;investigation&#8221; is being used now, it\u2019s basically used to accompany or signify anybody\u2019s curiosity about something. When you say that there\u2019s an investigation going on, it implies that it\u2019s a serious matter and that there are really powerful law enforcement people doing the investigation, and it conveys something far more serious and detailed than may what actually be going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Republicans ought to be running that town.
