RUSH: I\u2019m looking here for a sound bite of Trey Gowdy because Trey Gowdy put Jeh Johnson in his place today. Well, just one more list I\u2019ve gotta go through. I\u2019ll give you what he said. Jeh Johnson\u2019s going on and on about the Russians hacking. “Yes, we know the Russians attempted to hack the election.” And Gowdy said, “If that\u2019s true, if the Russians were hacking your network, why didn\u2019t you let the FBI investigate it?”<\/p>\n

You know, this is a question that needs to have been asked long before today. The Democrat National Committee computer network and system was hacked by the Russians, the Democrats are telling everybody. They would not let the FBI come in and examine it. Now, I always thought the reason was because that network contained proof of how they were rigging the election for Hillary and screwing Crazy Bernie.<\/p>\n

\"\"Let me find the transcript on sound bite 22. Yeah, here it is, Jeh Johnson gets testy under questioning. The question from Trey Gowdy, “Russia is a career offender when it comes to attacking the foundations of our Republic.” Trey Gowdy, Republican, South Carolina. “They have a history of cyber attacks on our country. You warned before the elections they may attack our voting infrastructure. Given what we knew before the election, what more could we have done and should we have done? We weren\u2019t surprised that Russia was doing this to us. They always do it. What more could we have done –” Wait a minute, let me see. I\u2019m not gonna play these because time is waning, but the question, “Why didn\u2019t you let the FBI examine your computer network if the Russians hacked it?”<\/p>\n

He did not have an answer, and that is a question that has been lingering and should have been asked — folks, Mr. Snerdley just had an observation. I want you to think about one year ago. Go back to June of 2016. In June of 2016, the Democrat Party was considered invincible. Trump has not announced yet, the Republican field is what it is, Trump has — well, it was getting close. Well, one year ago he had. But whether we include that or not, fact is, a year ago today, people, most people thought, particularly inside the Beltway, the Washington establishment, that Democrats were invincible and unbeatable and they thought Hillary Clinton was invincible and unbeatable.<\/p>\n

And people, many of you probably, certainly Republicans in Washington felt powerless. Obama was able to do whatever he had wanted to do. Whatever he screwed up it was never written as having been screwed up. It was thought that the Republicans were headed for years and years and years of the wilderness, Supreme Court and so forth. And in part and parcel of this is the opinion that we — I don\u2019t include myself in this. I\u2019m not gonna say “we” — many people thought the Democrats were just brilliant, the media was unstoppable, and they were outsmarting us, they were outstrategizing us, we just really didn\u2019t have a chance.<\/p>\n

\"\"And now look at one year later where we really are. Have the Democrats really fallen that far in one year? And the answer no. The Democrats never were what we thought we were a year ago. The Democrats have never been this invincible, immovable, unbeatable force. The media has been, but they\u2019re not on the ballot ever. But the Democrats have been trending down. I was a lone voice pointing out how they were losing elections all across America, at every level. And they have been in a downward sustainable momentum for a long time.<\/p>\n

They were never at the pinnacle of power and invincible as many people thought they were a year ago. But they believed it too. This is the key. They thought they were invincible. They thought they couldn\u2019t be beat. They thought Hillary couldn\u2019t lose. They thought, even after losing all these elections in states, governors, dogcatcher, you name it, still thought they were invincible. And you know what? They still do in certain sectors. It\u2019s the most fascinating thing to study.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t have an agenda of ideas that they can sell. They don\u2019t. Our caller was right about that. That\u2019s why they\u2019re constantly focusing on trying to destroy Trump. Their only way back is to destroy the opposition and eliminate it. They cannot hope to triumph over this. They\u2019re admitting they don\u2019t know how to beat Trump. They\u2019re admitting their brand is worse than Trump\u2019s now. This is devastating. And this talk about, “Well, this fourth loss, this positions us great for sweeping in 2018. We\u2019re gonna run the table in 2018. These four losses have shown us the path forward.” They are a confused bunch being poisoned by their own rage.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Here it is. This is the sound bite. The caller mentioned this. This is Trey Gowdy, Republican, South Carolina, who is interviewing Jeh Johnson. Jeh Johnson was secretary of Homeland Security during the O administration, and the only thing here is the question, because Jeh Johnson\u2019s answer, it\u2019s on here, but it\u2019s pathetic. This question has been lingering out there for a year, or at least since we knew that the Democrat National Committee computers and network was hacked.<\/p>\n
