RUSH: You know, Georgia\u2019s 6th district, there\u2019s something weird going on in this district anyway before you even get to this election today. Now, remember, Georgia 6 is the district from which Newt Gingrich came. And Newt Gingrich… This district has been in Republican hands since 1979. I think that\u2019s longer than any district in Georgia has been in Republican hands uninterrupted. And, of course, Newt owned it, major owned it. Now yet, despite that, Donald Trump only got 48% of the vote there. Hillary got 47%.<\/p>\n

Now, that is probably why the Democrats think they can win this, that one stat alone. Now, how would you explain that? A reliably Republican district by massive numbers since 1979, Trump wins it by one point, less than 50% of the vote. If I had to hazard a wild guess, it would be that there are a lot of people in that district who are rock-ribbed ideological conservatives who don\u2019t believe Trump is one. You might have had a lot of Never Trumpers in that district that voted for Trump anyway.<\/p>\n

Because if I know rock-ribbed conservatives like I know them, they\u2019re not gonna vote for a Democrat no matter what, but in this case that was close. That\u2019s one point in a district the Republicans win in landslides. So that number is probably why the Democrats think they have a chance here. Now, here\u2019s more weirdness in Georgia 6. Mitt Romney got 61% there to Obama\u2019s 38%. McCain got 62% to Obama\u2019s 37%. So something really fishy was going on there with Trump versus Hillary. (interruption) Why are you laughing in there? You\u2019re obviously thinking I\u2019m implying something when I\u2019m…<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just looking at the numbers, and it\u2019s weird. (interruption) The Romney and McCain support came from the rock-ribbed conservatives and Trump didn\u2019t get \u2019em, and some of those people actually voted for Hillary? (interruption) You think rock-ribbed conservatives…? (interruption) Well, maybe sat it out. That could be. I don\u2019t know what the total turnout in the district was last November. We could easily find out. But wait a minute. It could well be that the district has been gerrymandered. Let\u2019s look at this. The first election using the new district boundaries was the 2012 congressional election.<\/p>\n

The Democrats have gerrymandered it somewhat, so the district is not the same as it has been since 1979, but that still doesn\u2019t explain Romney beating Obama by such a big margin and Trump just barely squeaking by Hillary. And again a reminder: Georgia\u2019s 6th has been represented by a Republican consistently since 1979. That\u2019s the longest in the state of Georgia. This is Carl Vinson\u2019s old seat. Carl Vinson is the name of the aircraft carrier Trump sent to the coast of the Norks, the nearby coast of the North Koreans. So that one-point Trump win I\u2019m sure is why.<\/p>\n

Now, the thing to remember about this, the Democrats don\u2019t care about this Ossoff guy<\/a>. They don\u2019t care but what he is, they don\u2019t care about what he\u2019s gonna do, because they know he\u2019s gonna be a Democrat leadership robot. They don\u2019t care about him personally. It doesn\u2019t matter a hill of beans. All this guy represents is a chance for the news headlines already written to be published tomorrow. That\u2019s it. They don\u2019t care personally about this guy. I mean, they\u2019ll make it look like they do, but that\u2019s not why they\u2019re behind this guy. That\u2019s not what Samuel L. Jackson and all these other people are.<\/p>\n

\"\"This one race is about creating a soap opera script or news narrative that will allow the media to say that Donald Trump\u2019s presidency is essentially over. In such a solid Republican district, that a Democrat could come in and win a special election means the country has soured on Trump, and what that will be said to mean is, “The country now realizes it\u2019s made a mistake. The country realized it made a huge mistake, and what the voters in Georgia were saying for all of America is, ‘Stop Trump. Prevent any more of Trump\u2019s agenda from being implemented.'” That\u2019s what this election with the Democrat winning it today and in the count tonight, that\u2019s what they are hoping to be able to write.<\/p>\n

Now, I can hear you saying, “But, Rush, it\u2019s a congressional district. How can they possibly?” Because they can. They run it. They write the script. They come up with the narratives each and every day — and they\u2019re already been running the narrative, in a sense, by all this Trump resistance. When they focus on all the protests against Trump, when they focus on all the riots, when they focus on all the acrimony — when they focus on every agenda item like health care failing, tax reform being delayed — it all goes into the hopper, “Trump isn\u2019t wanted anymore.<\/p>\n

“Voters realize that made a mistake.” They wanted to do this with the special election in Kansas, and they didn\u2019t have a chance there because the Republicans held the district by 8%. So now, they\u2019ve moved on to this special election. This is Tom Price\u2019s seat. He\u2019s now the Health and Human Services secretary. And this election, if this Ossoff guy wins it, the Democrat winning it means the Democrats get to write all those stories, under the umbrella: “America has realized it made a mistake. America regrets electing Trump. America wants Trump and Trumpism stopped.<\/p>\n

“America desperate for its country back.” All of that, more times than you can count. We have the audio of the Samuel L. Jackson commercial. I actually had this on the roster yesterday, and I didn\u2019t have a chance to get to it. This is the version… I don\u2019t know how many versions there are, but this is the one that was running on the radio Saturday. It\u2019s a Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee ad. That\u2019s the bunch in the House that is tasked with the job of getting Democrats elected to the House of Representatives. They sponsored this ad, radio ad. Samuel L. Jackson…<\/p>\n

JACKSON: Hi. I\u2019m Samuel L. Jackson. There\u2019s a special congressional election on April 18th. What can you do? Go vote! Your vote goes a long way toward setting things right in this country. Vote for the Democratic Party. Stop Donald Trump, a man who encourages racial and religious discrimination and sexism. Remember what happened the last time people stayed home; we got stuck with Trump. We have to channel the “great vengeance and furious anger” we have for this administration into votes at the ballot box. Do your friends and family a favor — hell, do yourself a favor — and vote on April 18th and make sure to vote for the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>RUSH: You hear Ossoff\u2019s name in that ad? You didn\u2019t hear Ossoff\u2019s name. Now, it might have been in the graphic, but there\u2019s more than Ossoff running. But it doesn\u2019t help the Democrats to split the vote. I think there are four Democrats running. Ossoff is one of them. He\u2019s polling at 40%. What they really mean here is vote Ossoff. I find it fascinating they didn\u2019t say his name. It just tells you, he\u2019s not what this is about. Ossoff, he\u2019s just a vehicle. He\u2019s just essentially gonna be a robot — and if he does win, the only thing that he\u2019s going to be able to do is whatever the leadership of the House tells him to do. That\u2019s it, pure and simple.<\/p>\n

Yeah, there was a biblical reference here. He actually used a Bible verse from the character he portrayed in the movie Pulp Fiction when he talks about vengeance and furious anger. “We have to channel the ‘great vengeance and furious anger\u2019 we have for this administration into votes at the ballot box”. We got stuck with Trump. We don\u2019t want to get stuck with another chump. So vote for the Democrats! But they don\u2019t identify one. Again, it\u2019s just a graphic, but it\u2019s a radio ad, so there wasn\u2019t a gray. It\u2019s a radio ad, so there was no graphic. Don\u2019t mention Ossoff\u2019s name here. I mean, they could have at least said, “Vote for the guy with the girlfriend in medical school at Emory!”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So Samuel L. Jackson\u2019s commercial talks about furious anger and vengeance. Do you know what Ossoff\u2019s campaign slogan is? “Make Trump Furious.” That is the campaign slogan of the Democrat in George 6, “Make Trump Furious.”<\/p>\n

Here is John in Alpharetta, Georgia. Welcome. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. How you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. First-time caller.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Great to have you.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Thank you. I\u2019ve been listening to all the discussion of the last few callers, and they\u2019re absolutely right. One of the things that wasn\u2019t mentioned however was the last time Price ran, he won by something like 63 to 30 some percent. You know, he just got, you know, that much support from the conservative base in the 6th district.<\/p>\n

Ossoff is from a very small — there\u2019s only a small segment of northwest DeKalb County from which Ossoff hails from. And the rest of it is basically north Fulton, Cherokee, and then the eastern part of Cobb County, and most of that is conservative. I know a couple precinct workers who said that very few in the general election, very few people in the precincts actually voted. You\u2019re looking at maybe 10, 15% actually came out and voted.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So that\u2019s why Trump only won it by a point?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right. I don\u2019t know why they didn\u2019t come out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can figure that out. They just didn\u2019t think Trump\u2019s a conservative. They were probably a part of the Never Trumper dyed-in-the-wool conservatives. So the question — look, they are probably all gonna come out tomorrow, but look at how many ways they\u2019re dividing their vote. There\u2019s 11 Republicans on that ballot.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I\u2019m gonna support a guy named Judson Hill. He\u2019s a former state senator, really fine individual. But you\u2019re absolutely right, they\u2019re going to split the vote among all the Republicans. But like you said earlier, they do have some other Democrats who probably pick up some votes rather than Ossoff getting them. But Ossoff, I see him as just a willing pawn. You know, what does he think he\u2019s gonna do when he gets up there? Basically Pelosi\u2019s gonna tell him shut up, sit down, and vote the way I tell you, and that\u2019s it. He\u2019s all for Obamacare. He\u2019s even said that in his advertising.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s all true. You\u2019re a very brilliant guy. I just brilliantly made that point myself. So I\u2019m happy to welcome you to the brilliant club. But I don\u2019t think that should take anything away from the guy. Look, he\u2019s running for office. We all know he\u2019s a pawn. We all know what\u2019s invested in the guy. We all know what the Democrats are gonna use him for. And he does too. He had willingly accepted the assignment. I don\u2019t think this guy\u2019s being fooled. I don\u2019t think that they\u2019ve made him believe he\u2019s gonna be the next House speaker in five or 10 years.<\/p>\n

He knows exactly what he\u2019s doing. Look at his slogan. They\u2019re running ads for the guy, they never even mention his name. Samuel L. Jackson\u2019s radio ad said vote for the Democrat Party, not even vote for this guy. This guy\u2019s campaign slogan is “Make Trump Furious.” This guy\u2019s just waiting for his wife to graduate med school and then they\u2019re off and running. He\u2019s pretty much admitted it. And to each his own. Do not mistake any of that for any criticism. I\u2019m just engaging in observation and analysis here. You\u2019re of course right. The guy is a pawn. He simply serves as a placeholder, if he can win.<\/p>\n

Believe me, he isn\u2019t gonna get any credit. I mean, he\u2019ll go out there and he\u2019ll take the stage and he\u2019ll do the acceptance speech and he\u2019ll thank all the people, but he\u2019s not gonna be treated as a conquering hero. The Democrat Party will be presented as coming back. The Democrat Party will be represented as taking the reins of power again. So he\u2019s I\u2019m sure fully aware of how he is been recruited and what his purpose here is. And he knows full well that if he can come through as they have set forth at the Democrat leadership, that whatever they are, good things will happen to the guy. I appreciate the call, John, very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
