RUSH: I just saw a story that here that they\u2019re going crazy out there that they\u2019re finally reaching a million copies sold of the Wolff book.\u00a0 And I\u2019m thinking, “It\u2019s amazing how publishing has changed.”\u00a0 I\u2019ve written two books, 1992 and 1993\/4.\u00a0 Both of those books sold 2.5 million.\u00a0 The second one sold 2.5 million in five weeks.\u00a0 The first book was #1 on the New York Times list for 54 weeks because the publisher had no idea how it was gonna sell.<\/p>\n

So they kept publishing to meet demand.\u00a0 When the second one came out, the demand had been established and the demand was for two million to flow off shelves, and they did in the first four weeks.\u00a0 So my two books grand total, 8.5 (almost nine) million hardcover.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t count paperback.\u00a0 And of course, there were no e-books back then. But they\u2019re doing handstands here \u2019cause the Wolff book has just now hit one million. They\u2019ve had to go back and order a bunch of reprints.\u00a0 The hard copy is now one million. I think the e-book is tens of thousands of copies and so forth.<\/p>\n

\"\"I, frankly, would have thought the way they\u2019ve been hyping this thing that it was way more than a million already.\u00a0 I know it\u2019s not been out there but a week. But you know what the original print was? It was 150,000.\u00a0 Well, what does that tell you?\u00a0 The original print…? That means they had no idea what kind of demand there was gonna be for this book, which astounds me.\u00a0 I would have thought they would have known they were sitting on a gold mine from the get-go.\u00a0 But that\u2019s six of one, half dozen of the other.\u00a0 My thinking on this is: What number of attempts in total is this to take out Donald Trump, and how many of them prior to this one have worked?<\/p>\n

I mean, they\u2019ve thrown everything they\u2019ve got at Donald Trump — including the perhaps unconstitutional use of deep state administrative people in the intelligence community such as Peter Strzok and these FBI people<\/a> now (as we know) leaking damaging data that was not even true to the media.\u00a0 For a year, every day the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, had some “bombshell” proving collusion between Trump and Russia. Except every story mentioned in a little, tiny sentence near the end: “No evidence has yet been found for the claims.”<\/p>\n

And there isn\u2019t any evidence today that there was any collusion, because there wasn\u2019t any collusion.\u00a0 Now, the Wolff book is out and it says that Trump didn\u2019t even want to win.\u00a0 It\u2019s a big theme (impression): “Trump? Yeah, he didn\u2019t want to win — and Melania was crying on election night, she was so upset that they had won.”\u00a0 Well, if Trump didn\u2019t to want win, then why the hell collude with Russian to steal the election? Number one.<\/p>\n

Number two, the book is now being demonstrated to be vastly devoid of facts, and all it is doing is recycling some of the earlier stuff that\u2019s been printed in the New York Times and the Washington Post. Its primary value — its primary value — is the media can now use it as a source authority rather than themselves.\u00a0 So the Wolff book gives them the opportunity to expand the entire hit on Trump that this book represents and all the previous efforts that have come before it.\u00a0 Now, you remember the Access Hollywood video.\u00a0 The Washington Post had that video.<\/p>\n

It was an NBC show.\u00a0 NBC didn\u2019t release that video.\u00a0 The Washington Post did.\u00a0 And everybody thought that, “Okay, that\u2019s it.”\u00a0 Trump had survived his insults of Mexicans.\u00a0 He had survived his insults of McCain.\u00a0 He had survived all of the politically incorrect things he had said, but that! Everybody just knew it. That was gonna end it. That was gonna be the end of the Trump presidency.\u00a0 Except it wasn\u2019t.\u00a0 Everything they\u2019ve launched at Trump, in truth, has not made a dent.<\/p>\n

\"\"Trump\u2019s agenda is in full speed now, and what has made that possible, again, is the Republicans in Congress spent the first year — first 10 months — hesitant, wavering, unsupportive.\u00a0 And we all chalked it up to the fact that they were like the Democrats and didn\u2019t even want Trump there.\u00a0 Trump\u2019s an outsider.\u00a0 They\u2019re establishment.\u00a0 “We can\u2019t have Trump here!”\u00a0 Turns out that\u2019s not what it was.\u00a0 I mean, there was some of that.\u00a0 What it was was the Republicans believed that Trump was gonna leave office.\u00a0 They believed the Russia collusion bit.<\/p>\n

They believed the media.\u00a0 They believed Trump it stolen the election.\u00a0 They believed it.\u00a0 They could not get close to Trump because they feared he was going to be sent packing.\u00a0 They believed that phony allegation.\u00a0 Now, as time went on during the year, it became more and more obvious there was nothing there, there wasn\u2019t any collusion.\u00a0 In fact, the only conclusion is between Hillary Clinton and the Russians and Christopher Steele for the Trump dossier, which is opposition research.\u00a0 There is no evidence.\u00a0 So the Republicans are warming up now.<\/p>\n

The Republicans are feeling much more confident about Trump because they now are not worried that there\u2019s anything to the collusion story.\u00a0 Now, the point of all this is that I believe that Trump is on a roll, and I think Trump\u2019s gonna continue to succeed, and I think he\u2019s gonna roll these guys on this immigration business that\u2019s being discussed right now, like he has been rolling them the entire year.\u00a0 He\u2019s gonna continue to succeed, and he really will if the Republicans stick with him.<\/p>\n

\"\"And they will as more and more is being learned about where the real scandal is involving this entire collusion story with Russia. And we find out it\u2019s not with Trump at all.\u00a0 And I think what we\u2019re seeing is the Democrats in full panic mode.\u00a0 But you\u2019re never gonna see it reported that way because the Drive-By Media is a protectorate.\u00a0 The Drive-By Media, I believe, actually is the force of power moving the Democrat Party agenda.\u00a0 I think the Democrats — elected Democrats — take if not marching orders, their inspiration and their guide from the media.<\/p>\n

The media runs all the interference. The media does everything it can to destroy Trump under the guise of doing journalism, which they\u2019re not. There is no journalism in the Drive-By Media today.\u00a0 There is no news.\u00a0 What we\u2019re getting is simply the advancement of the Democrat Party agenda disguised as news each and every day, and they simply aren\u2019t able to take Trump out with it.\u00a0 Now the economy is booming. We have the tax cut bill. Unemployment. African-American unemployment is at an all-time record low.\u00a0 We\u2019re nearing statistical full employment, which is 3.5%.<\/p>\n

It has just been agreed to for the longest time by government economists and others that 3.5% unemployment is considered to be full employment, and we\u2019re nearing that.\u00a0 We have incomes rising, and we have jobs being created, and we have companies bonusing because of the tax cut bill.\u00a0 We have companies operating overseas repatriating money. In Apple\u2019s case, they\u2019re gonna bring back $200 billion, I think.\u00a0 And that\u2019s gonna be infused into the U.S. economy, and it\u2019s not the government taking money from the private sector and redistributing it.\u00a0 This is money that\u2019s not here, and it\u2019s gonna be added, and it\u2019s gonna have an infusion effect, and it\u2019s gonna create growth.<\/p>\n

And so this is going to continue. And I think the Democrats, look at what their focus is. They\u2019re focusing on a fake book. They\u2019re all-in on a fake book. They\u2019re all-in on stories in a fake book that are fake. I think the fact that this book selling so well may not be the great sign the Democrats think it is. Some of it certainly isn\u2019t gonna be helpful. I mean, there\u2019s a contingent of Americans that hate Trump; I\u2019m not denying that.<\/p>\n

But what it shows is the consuming interest in Trump people have. No matter what, he dominates the news day. He dominates the 24-hour news cycle each and every day with whatever he does. He dominates it. They can\u2019t not cover him. They can\u2019t leave it alone. And, as such, Trump benefits from a never-ending focus of attention which he happens to like. A lot of other people in public life don\u2019t like this kind of attention, but he does. And he uses it. And he turns it around on them.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now he\u2019s got his Fake News Awards tomorrow night where he\u2019s gonna name names. He\u2019s gonna give awards to the reporters who are telling the biggest lies. This kind of thing has never been done, and people are eating it up. So they\u2019re focusing on a fake book, and now they\u2019re focusing on The Oprah running for president. The Oprah hasn\u2019t even said she\u2019s going to, which we need to discuss in detail because it\u2019s so predictable.<\/p>\n

The Oprah, very famous African-American liberal celebrity delivers a firebrand social justice speech, and people on our side feel compelled to cite it as great and wonderful and barn-burner and so, because it\u2019s just not politically correct to be critical of The Oprah. It\u2019s not even politically correct to honestly analyze The Oprah and this idea that she could be automatically elected president if she just decided to run. We need to dig deep into this, which we will do here from a perspective only I apparently am capable of occupying and offering.<\/p>\n

But when you see the Democrats glom on to all of these things for one purpose. Their purpose: get rid of Trump. You\u2019ve heard the old adage, “At this level, you have to give people reasons to vote for you,” and the Democrats don\u2019t have any right now. Their sole reason for existing is resisting Trump. Their sole reason for having people vote for them is they are gonna be the way we get rid of Trump. And they\u2019re making a major miscalculation assuming that\u2019s what a majority of Americans want.<\/p>\n

If Trump has another successful month or two, the Democrats are gonna be in more trouble than they will probably be able to figure out. I think some of them know way deep down in the deep, dark crevices of their tiny little soul that they cannot politically survive a successful Trump presidency. At one time I think they thought they could. No matter what Trump did, good or bad, I think they thought they\u2019d be able to get rid of him \u2019cause people hate Trump \u2019cause he\u2019s barbarian, he\u2019s a pig, because he\u2019s not smart, he\u2019s stupid, he can\u2019t put two sentences together.<\/p>\n

\"\"Oh, that\u2019s the latest from Wolff. “Yeah, Trump can\u2019t put two sentences together.” Here\u2019s a guy that did four rallies a day, hour and a half each with no notes. And he can\u2019t put two sentences together. Meanwhile, over here, the smartest woman in the world, Hillary Clinton, could barely stand up for an hour and a half, much less speak without a teleprompter. And yet Hillary is the smartest woman in the world and Obama\u2019s the smartest guy in the world and Trump is this idiot who is outperforming them all any measure you care to make.<\/p>\n

And I think there\u2019s some Democrats deep down very aware of this. And they know that it\u2019s gonna be really tough for them if Trump has another month or two of success. ‘Cause at some point this stupid book is gonna be forgotten. Everything has a life span except Trump. Trump\u2019s always gonna be there. The Wolff book\u2019s gonna die down, it\u2019s gonna fade away and they\u2019re gonna have to come up with some replacement for it.<\/p>\n

The Russia investigation, toodle-oo, fading away, not much there. And now Wolff is saying, well, maybe, maybe. Everybody in the White House says there wasn\u2019t any collusion. Wolff is saying this. Everybody in the White House he spoke to, there\u2019s no collusion. But then Wolff says, “If they ever start looking at Trump\u2019s finances, it\u2019s over.”<\/p>\n

Well, okay, add that to the list. For the last three years they\u2019ve been telling us, if we ever get deep down and discover what Trump\u2019s been doing here, he\u2019s gone.” And yet, it\u2019s like spitballs at a battleship. It just isn\u2019t having much effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
