That is, whether it was the Russians or whoever that got into Podesta\u2019s emails and the Democratic Party emails and so forth, they\u2019re not The Plumbers that were hired to do the break-in. They are Woodward and Bernstein uncovering the corruption within the Democratic Party and the collusion with mainstream media. We should be giving them a Pulitzer Prize, not coming down on them and criticizing them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me see if I understand what you\u2019re saying. You\u2019re saying the people that hacked Podesta deserve a Pulitzer Prize?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely, for uncovering the corruption.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They revealed and uncovered the corruption and the lying and the stinking of the Hillary campaign as found in the Podesta emails?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, that&#8230; Folks, let me tell you: That\u2019s an interesting take. I know he\u2019s being a little bit facetious here, but only partly, because it\u2019s a fascinating thing. What the Podesta emails revealed was indeed a bunch of chicanery bordering on illegality &#8212; certainly corruption &#8212; throughout the Clinton campaign. And rather than anybody be upset at that, they\u2019re upset that we know it! They\u2019re upset that it was revealed. I\u2019m sure they want people to think that\u2019s part of the Russian collusion. But that\u2019s not. That\u2019s not Russian that happened there.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Looks like Safety Harbor in Florida. Hey, Steve. You\u2019re next. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-233093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpPence-walk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpPence-walk.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpPence-walk-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: Hi, Rush. What I want to say is, let\u2019s say Trump is impeached and run out on a rail because of Democrats for some Trump up charge or whatever. Then the Democrats get Mike Pence, and he is more conservative, more popular, more photogenic, more moral. I just don\u2019t see where the Democrats\u2019 endgame is with getting rid of Trump, because at least Trump might fluctuate a little bit. What do you think about that, Rush?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think this is purely personal and visceral with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t think they\u2019re thinking of anything beyond getting rid of Trump. Getting rid of Trump is it. Trump is an outsider. Trump is somebody that has no business being in their world, somebody who has no business doing what they do, somebody has no business beating them, no business even talk about them. Trump is scum! Trump is a pig! Trump is a reprobate! He\u2019s uncouth! He\u2019s just&#8230; He\u2019s a misogynist; he\u2019s just yuk! He stands in direct opposition to everything they hold dear.<\/p>\n<p>What Trump did should never, ever be possible. This is personal. This is not issue-oriented. This is not&#8230; They know Trump\u2019s not a conservative. I know this. I know they know Trump is not an ideological Republican. There\u2019s so much personal. This is why they\u2019ve become a hate group. Steve, they hate this guy. He beat Hillary! He\u2019s out there laughing at and making fun of Obama, who is their savior. He put&#8230; The guy they hate, Steve Bannon, is sitting in his right hand; they hate Bannon. Bannon\u2019s a pig. Bannon\u2019s yuck. They hate all of this. This isn\u2019t supposed to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody is supposed to get close to this. People who try when Trump tried are supposed to be so humiliated in defeat that they either commit suicide or go hide. The last thing they\u2019re supposed to do is win. And if they win, they\u2019re not supposed to start doing things that unravel what these people have been doing the last 55, hundred years. Trump\u2019s got to go! It\u2019s not tolerable. Now, they\u2019ll take Pence in their any day. Pence, in their mind, is a conservative Republican. They think they\u2019ll roll over him inside of two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Pence is much more acceptable to them than Trump. Pence, at least, is a governor. You can make a greater claim that he comes from their side of the tracks &#8212; and as a good conservative, he\u2019s very happy to lose. In their minds. I\u2019m not saying that describes Pence. That\u2019s how they see him. They think they can roll pence and send him packing inside of a year. They think they can embarrass and humiliate him. Do you think they not gonna started on Pence? What\u2019s Pence gonna be guilty of? He accepted Trump\u2019s vice presidency!<\/p>\n<p>The next thing they\u2019re gonna go after: What did Pence know and when did he know it? You think they\u2019re gonna just sit there and let Pence become president and do nothing about it? Unless they get polling data say that Pence will get them the House back and Pence will get them the White House in 2020, then they\u2019ll leave him there. But believe me, this stuff with Trump is purely personal. The things are factors, like what he\u2019s doing agenda-wise, but that\u2019s the icing-on-the-cake stuff. Just the fact that Trump is alive and did what he did.<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t abide it. They cannot allow it. They cannot allow for the world to see that something like this could make the country better. They cannot permit that to happen. They cannot permit Trump to improve the economy. They cannot permit Trump to make the nation more secure. They cannot permit Trump to win in international conflicts. They cannot permit it! It must not happen. Every victory Trump has is just another sign of how useless and phony the establishment is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/05\/11\/if-this-politico-story-is-true-the-president-needs-new-advisers\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-229668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/BannonDinaMcMaster-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/BannonDinaMcMaster-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/BannonDinaMcMaster.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>This is why I don\u2019t understand how Trump doesn\u2019t know this, but apparently he doesn\u2019t. Apparently, Trump really thought firing Comey would quiet the Democrats down, and he really, if <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/05\/11\/if-this-politico-story-is-true-the-president-needs-new-advisers\/\">The Politico is right.<\/a>.. And by the way, I think this is true to a certain degree. I don\u2019t know how true. But I believe there\u2019s an element of truth to it. When Politico reports that Trump is surprised that this Russia thing is still going on? If that\u2019s true, then Trump doesn\u2019t have anybody around him who can honestly tell him what he\u2019s up against.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s more than just, &#8220;Well, he\u2019s not ideological so he don\u2019t know how liberals operate.&#8221; It\u2019s more than that. To be sitting there in the midst of this every day and think that, at some point, it\u2019s gonna go away and that they\u2019re gonna accept him? Never! That\u2019s never gonna happen. Trump\u2019s not supposed to get Supreme Court nominees, and he did! You want to know how that ticks them off, and the fact that Merrick Garland didn\u2019t get it when Obama nominated him? They\u2019re still fuming! These people are so consumed with hate.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what you\u2019re seeing on TV every day, folks. You are seeing raw, unchanneled, unboundaried hate on the part of the media and the Democrats. Mike Lee&#8230; You know who Mike Lee is? Senator from Utah. Big conservative. You know what he\u2019s just suggested? That Trump nominate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/mike-lee-is-right-trump-should-make-merrick-garland-the-next-fbi-director\/article\/2622804\">Merrick Garland for director of the FBI<\/a>. (laughing) Snerdley\u2019s going bananas in there. He did. You know why? He thinks it would que&#8230; (interruption) That\u2019s right. He thinks it would quiet the Democrats. If they got their Supreme Court nominee at the FBI, then we could get Merrick Garland in there.<\/p>\n<p>And Merrick Garland\u2019s got a score to settle with Trump. So we put Merrick Garland in there. Merrick Garland can continue in the Comey tradition of trying to nail Trump, and so that would quiet the Democrats. That\u2019s the thing. (interruption) I know. The stupidity&#8230; Well, &#8220;stupidity.&#8221; The lack&#8230; Even now, the lack of desire to beat these people is unreal to me. If this kind of stuff were being done to me, I would want to squash these people.<\/p>\n<p>I would just want to smother \u2019em. I would want to wipe them out. (interruption) Politically speaking. I don\u2019t have any nuking. I don\u2019t have any bombs. I\u2019m not Kim Jong-un. I can\u2019t bomb anybody. I\u2019m not&#8230; I mean, wipe \u2019em out. Of course, politically. And they\u2019re ripe for it. They\u2019re losing elections. Now you got me, now you\u2019re just getting me remembering why I\u2019m so damn frustrated with all this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I think this is purely personal and visceral with Trump. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
