RUSH: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is at a new all-time high today. What does that tell you, ladies and gentlemen? It tells you they\u2019re not paying any attention to this circus. If they thought… The Dow\u2019s up 29.71 right now. NASDAQ\u2019s up 16.57. If the markets thought there was anything to this — and, folks, this investigation was going to result in the falling apart of our country, that the Russians are taking over — people would be fleeing the markets in droves. The market is setting an all-time high today.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, some of this may be arguable, but I want to make a point here, as I swerve into where real life is happening. By that, I mean outside of Washington. I think this circus and this soap opera is beneath us. It is plain and simple what\u2019s happening here, and that is the Washington, D.C. — and actually the global — establishment is attempting to undermine the current president. There is a very loud silent coup underway, and all of this has an objective, and that is to either paralyze the Trump presidency or to dispatch it. That\u2019s all this is.<\/p>\n

Everything… They say they\u2019re worried about Russians tampering with our processes? They don\u2019t care. They know that that\u2019s not a big deal. They know we can outsmart the Russians. And if… We\u2019re tampering with them too. This… It\u2019s all amplified beyond any scope of sanity and reason. All of this concern about tampering with the law, obstruction of justice? All of it is just gigantic clouds of bogus BS — and in truth, it should be beneath us. This kind of partisanship here should be beneath the dignity.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ll tell you why it\u2019s not. The quest for power, particularly by those on the left, has gotten now to a poisonous level where it is being driven by pure, raw hatred. There\u2019s even some self-loathing going on here. Whatever\u2019s driving this is not a legitimate fear for our system. Whoever\u2019s doing this is not really concerned about the Russians tampering, and they\u2019re not really concerned that the Constitution\u2019s being violated. They\u2019re not really concerned that the highest officials in the land are violating the law. They don\u2019t care about any of that.<\/p>\n

This is simply and purely a quest to usurp power away from someone who legitimately won it by those who legitimately lost it — and that, in a nutshell, is what bothers all of them. They legitimately lost this election. They legitimately and fairly lost what they consider power. It was not stolen from them. It was not hacked. It was not taken or purloined. They lost it. The media lost their power, the Democrats lost the elections, and they can\u2019t abide it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Meanwhile… I admit some of these items may be arguable. I want to run through the list. In the past two years… I\u2019m going back to June of 2015 when Trump and Melania descended the escalator at Trump Tower.<\/p>\n

\"\"In the past two years, nothing the media, the Democrats, the Washington establishment, and the Never Trumpers have thrown at Trump has worked. They have thrown everything they\u2019ve got at Trump, and he is still there. He may not be exhibiting the same humor and charm and (What\u2019s the word?) extroverted behavior because he is occupied by all of the assaults, but he\u2019s still there. They haven\u2019t gotten rid of him, and his agenda is still on the tracks.<\/p>\n

They have tried everything they can think of to discredit and destroy the Trump presidency, from the escalator speech through the mowing down of Republican primary opponents (i.e., the Republican primary\u2019s 16, 15 different candidates). They had “Pussaigate.” That\u2019s the NBC video. They thought they had Trump with that. Then the lying and the polling and Russia and Flynn and all of the fake news that have been reporting. The lies, the distortions, all of the felonious and criminal leaks.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post has minimum 30 embeds in the deep state that the reporting leaked information, and now James Comey has joined the leakers! James Comey leaked his memos he wrote about Trump. He asked a friend of his to disseminate them to the media. Can I ask a question? Maybe I\u2019m off base on this. Maybe some legal beagle can set me straight. Can somebody tell me the difference in what Reality Winner did and what Comey did? Reality Winner had some documents from the NSA; she gave \u2019em to a reporter.<\/p>\n

James Comey had some private memos he wrote about Donald Trump, and he leaked them to the media, who made news stories out of them. Both of them leaked. In one case, Reality Winner leaked stuff that wasn\u2019t hers. Comey leaked stuff that was his. But they\u2019re both leakers. (interruption) What? Well, the question hinges on whether it\u2019s classified. You mean what Reality Winner leaked was classified and Comey\u2019s stupid memos may not be classified? Perhaps. Perhaps. Maybe so. But Comey\u2019s still a leaker, and he announced it!<\/p>\n

Despite all this, Trump keeps chugging along. Yes, he may not have the humor he had in the campaign. He may not have the charm he had during the campaign. But he\u2019s besieged on all fronts in ways most human beings will never experience or be able to relate to. I challenge you… Try to do this. Try to imagine you\u2019re Donald Trump for a day and forget about the fame of it. Forget about living in the White House. Forget about being president. Just imagine every day that everybody outside the White House was gunning for you and half the people working for you are gunning for you, and he\u2019s still there.<\/p>\n

\"\"He nominated 11 more just fabulous conservative judges yesterday for federal districts. These 11 judges that he nominated yesterday are Neil Gorsuch quality. They are awesome, and they are crucially important to turning around the fetid direction this country is headed. As reported yesterday, Trump has slashed regulations and prevented the writing of new ones at a level unseen in our lifetimes. He is still, despite being opposed by his own party on Capitol Hill, working to try to fix Obamacare. He\u2019s working on infrastructure.<\/p>\n

And, by the way, Mr. Snerdley, you have always expressed total confusion over how private sector help with infrastructure would work with government. I have a story in the Stack today — I may not get to it today, but I\u2019m gonna get to it (if I don\u2019t) by tomorrow — that explains exactly how this is going to happen. And you\u2019re gonna applaud it when you hear it. Trump nevertheless is working on infrastructure. He is still trying to get tax reform, despite members of his own party saying they don\u2019t have the energy or desire to do it.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s working on Mideast peace. He pulled us out of the Paris climate accords! There\u2019s not a soul who actually thought he would pull that off and go through with that and have the courage to do it, and he did it. And while all of this happening, the stock market is soaring. Consumer confidence is high. Jobs are on the creation. IBD, Investor\u2019s Business Daily: “Trump\u2019s Approval Drops as His Spending, Tax Cut Plans Gain Wide Support<\/a>.” This is a curiosity too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
