<\/p>\nRUSH: The media can\u2019t wait to televise these protests. Before my appearance on Fox News yesterday was a 4-minute, pre-taped interview that Chris Wallace had done with some of the organizing students at the school.\u00a0 This is where I say I\u2019ve got to be very careful discussing this, because, again, the emotion that results when people are triggered can then render everything else that I might say afterward unheard.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What if I were to say to you that I\u2019m listening to some of the students and their interviews, and the way they\u2019re talking sounds very familiar to me?\u00a0 I feel like I\u2019ve heard this before.\u00a0 Do you starting to get nervous about what I might say next? \u00a0Do you start to say, “Rush, don\u2019t go there.\u00a0 Don\u2019t go there!\u00a0 Don\u2019t get in the headlines on this one, Rush.\u00a0 Don\u2019t go there! Just stop right now.”\u00a0 Are you saying that?\u00a0 Do you think you know where I\u2019m headed next with this?\u00a0 Well, let\u2019s take a break and you can relax for a minute.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll come back and we will continue.\u00a0 Do not go away.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: The first question that I was asked yesterday by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday<\/a> was, “What do you think about this idea of students mobilizing across the country, a march on Washington, march in communities, students trying to get politicians to act? What do you think of that?”<\/p>\n RUSH ARCHIVE: What I found interesting about the students \u2014 and, by the way, they are very articulate and you have to feel for them. I mean, this is\u2026 It\u2019s wrecked their lives. They are a combination of scared and angry. But, Chris, I have to ask if anybody is really serious about solving this, \u2019cause none of this\u2026 And, by the way, I couldn\u2019t care less about the gun angle of this. None of this is going to solve anything.<\/p>\n Prayers and condolences don\u2019t solve it. And marches aren\u2019t going to solve it. Chris, the next shooter is out there. The next shooter probably has the gun that he\u2019s going to use. The next shooter is known by many people in his community, who are concerned that this guy may do what everybody is afraid he\u2019s going to do. Now, how is anything that we are talking about going to stop that? We have got to realize this is what our country has become.<\/p>\n We can wish that it weren\u2019t this way, and we can wish that Congress could legislate it away, but they can\u2019t. It\u2019s not the fault of the NRA. It\u2019s not the fault of any\u2026 It\u2019s the fault of the people doing this and our inability to deal with that and stop them. We have security \u2014 armed security \u2014 at virtually every public entity in this country except schools.<\/p>\n For some reason, they are a gun-free zone and everybody that wants to shoot up a school knows that they are going to be the only one armed. Until we\u2019re ready to get serious about where we are and how do we stop this from happening \u2014 and marches aren\u2019t going to do it. Saying, \u201cNo more guns\u201d isn\u2019t going to do it. Bashing the NRA isn\u2019t going to do it.<\/p>\n RUSH: I don\u2019t see how any of that is arguable. To me, that is just straight down the line fact, common sense, intelligence guided by experience. But, of course, there are people outraged that I said it. And they\u2019re outraged because they think what I said, that the students don\u2019t matter. And I didn\u2019t say that at all. I said it isn\u2019t gonna stop the next shooter. And Congress isn\u2019t, either.<\/p>\n CALLER: Hi, Rush. What an honor. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n CALLER: Common sense dittos. And I think you\u2019re hinting around with this, and I hope you don\u2019t think I\u2019m a conspiracy theorist, but how did these kids, these poor kids, they just went through something so traumatic, yet they managed to organize and arrange a march on Washington? They even have a date.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t just pick a date out of thin air and everyone meets up in D.C. There\u2019s a lot of planning. You\u2019ve gotta organize an event like this. My theory is there are certain community organizers working with the deep state and the FBI to ignore this kid. Maybe to allow something to happen. And they don\u2019t let a good crisis go to waste. And I think this was a good crisis.<\/p>\n RUSH: Well, now, wait a minute. You were on to something until that last half there. You think the deep state is behind this for what reason? You think the deep state and the FBI ignored this hoping something would happen \u2019cause they don\u2019t want to let a good crisis go to waste. So you think they wanted to create the crisis. They knew the shooter was out there and they purposely didn\u2019t stop him because they want what they\u2019ve got right now? Is that your point?<\/p>\n CALLER: I think it\u2019s awful suspicious that within two or three days these kids have this whole thing organized.<\/p>\n RUSH: Okay. Now, that\u2019s a different thing. You\u2019re talking two separate things. Let\u2019s deal with that.<\/p>\n CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n RUSH: Let\u2019s deal with that. This is a shrewd perception of yours. You have judged that the students, 17, 18, 16 years old simply in their emotional distress, would have needed some assistance to come up with some scheme or some operation this grand, this organized, this quickly. So who are you suggesting is behind this?<\/p>\n CALLER: I\u2019m just thinking certain community organizers who want to create chaos.<\/p>\n RUSH: Well, the chaos is there.<\/p>\n CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n RUSH: The chaos is already there. I think what you mean is there are people wanting to capitalize on the chaos.<\/p>\n CALLER: Absolutely. Right. And who better than young skulls full of mush.<\/p>\n RUSH: Well, let me tell you something about that. And thank you very much, Carrie, for the call. I watched some of these students last week on TV. And I have to tell you, I\u2019m not around people that age because I don\u2019t have kids. My nephews and nieces are approaching, some of them are and beyond that age now. I tell you, folks, they are amazingly articulate, the people I saw on TV, the students. They were amazingly articulate. I was genuinely impressed and dazzled. I thought I was listening to people much older than they were in their reactions to this.<\/p>\n I was not listening to anger and the protest type stuff. I was listening to them answering questions about the moment and what it was like and they were willing to answer deeply personal questions. But then a couple of days went by, and we began to hear the students being interviewed about their protest plans and their march plans. And I thought I had heard some of the language before. And I started putting two and two together. And I realized that this, while they were saying that they were not doing anything political, it was the essence of political. And it was the essence — she\u2019s right — of community organizing politics.<\/p>\n So I\u2019m like her, I wondered how did this get put together so quickly? And who is doing that if indeed that happened? And I don\u2019t doubt that it did. And I\u2019m not trying to take anything away from the students here. I don\u2019t want to be misunderstood on this at all. I\u2019m not questioning their motivates by any stretch. As I say, they\u2019ve been traumatized. They\u2019re angry, and they are scared.<\/p>\n And remember me telling you throughout the history of this program that one of the ways that this nation\u2019s always stayed on course is that eventually a generation comes along — and you never know which one, but it\u2019s every three to five generations, that ultimately says, “We reject the way our grandparents and parents lived.” And they don\u2019t want any part of it. And they reform. They try to take their lives and the country in a different direction. Could this current generation of Millennials be that generation?<\/p>\n We\u2019ll have to see.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: When I first saw the signs that the students were carrying — and when I first heard about the national day of march or protest or whatever, and when I heard some of the students in the interview section of the Fox News Sunday show yesterday and other places — I thought to myself, “This sounds just like the Democrat Party.\u00a0 It sounds just like the way they organize things.”\u00a0 But the students were saying, “No, no, no.\u00a0 This is not political.”<\/p>\n They know places to avoid.\u00a0 Everybody does.\u00a0 Places to avoid if you don\u2019t want to be confronted by things that challenge your worldview.\u00a0 But just to me, it\u2019s a classic Democrat campaign to say something isn\u2019t what it is in order to give it legitimacy.\u00a0 ‘Cause everybody knows that once anything becomes political, then it isn\u2019t pure.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t innocent.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t real.\u00a0 Politics, at worst, corrupts, and at least shapes and infects.<\/p>\n When you see the initial reaction to an event like this being what every other initial reaction has been, and then when you realize that reaction, that objective is right out of the Democrat Party playbook — or, bigger than that, the American leftist playbook — then the conclusion seems automatic and obvious.\u00a0 Why are all of the students what we\u2019re seeing…? Why are all of the students on camera answering questions being interviewed…?<\/p>\n Why are all of them saying pretty much the same thing in a political context or political sense?\u00a0 So our last caller thinks that community organizers — and by that she means people like Obama and let\u2019s not forget this guy Robert Creamer.\u00a0 You know, we\u2019ve gotta mix subjects here.\u00a0 You look at this Russian entitlement and the Russians are portrayed as absolute swine for what they did.\u00a0 But they can\u2019t hold a candle to what Robert Creamer was doing<\/a>.\u00a0 The only difference is that what Creamer was doing was technically not illegal.<\/p>\n The Russians, as foreigners, were engaging in illegal activity.\u00a0 But what does the indictment allege that the Russians were doing?\u00a0 Well, they were on social media, and they were inciting action.\u00a0 They were sowing discord.\u00a0 They were doing things designed to get Americans to question the validity of their own political process and elections — and in this process, they were trying to supposedly shape the outcome of votes.<\/p>\n What, are you shaking your head in there, Mr. Snerdley? You didn\u2019t…? (interruption) Well, you and I are among the rare few who didn\u2019t think Hillary was gonna win.\u00a0 But most people did, including the Russians, and it\u2019s clear the Russians did not expect Trump to win.\u00a0 So it\u2019s very convenient for the media to say that the indictment illustrates that the Russians were trying to help Trump.\u00a0 No, they weren\u2019t.\u00a0 They were trying to damage America by damaging whoever they thought was gonna win!<\/p>\n They wanted to destroy our confidence in the political system.\u00a0 But they\u2019re not alone in this, and they are pikers compared to all the other Americans that were that were participating in social media trying to accomplish the same thing.\u00a0 Now, the proof of what I\u2019m saying is that when Trump wins, all of a sudden the Russians are promoting anti-Trump rallies.\u00a0 During the campaign, the Russians are promoting anti-Hillary rallies, and they\u2019re out there doing rallies for Trump.<\/p>\n Then Trump wins, and it turns everything upside down.\u00a0 And within a week of the election, the Russians are sponsoring and conducting anti-Trump rallies.\u00a0 And yet everybody thinks the Russians were in this to make sure Trump won.\u00a0 The Russians were in this to sow discord against whoever won.\u00a0 They would love to break down our system.\u00a0 They are an enemy — and they\u2019re not alone in this.\u00a0 There were 90 Russians, best I can tell.\u00a0 None of them will ever be indicted.\u00a0 Well, none of them will be extradited.<\/p>\n None of them will ever face charges.\u00a0 There will not be a trial.\u00a0 We will not learn who did this.\u00a0 We will not see the faces, we won\u2019t know anything more than we know, and the people that filed the charges knew that.\u00a0 Mueller and Rosenstein all know that this is nothing more than a PR statement.\u00a0 This series of indictments is never gonna result in a trial.\u00a0 In fact, you know what it\u2019s similar to?\u00a0 This is similar to the Clinton administration.<\/p>\n How did they want to deal with terrorism?\u00a0 In the courts.\u00a0 They wanted to indict Osama Bin Laden, and they did.\u00a0 Remember the wall we had with Jamie Gorelick? On one side, the FBI and the CIA were not allowed to know what each was doing, during counterterror investigations?\u00a0 And whenever there was a terrorist act, we (laughing) wanted to indict! Well, here it\u2019s repeating itself.\u00a0 The Russians conducted an attack.\u00a0 It was a cyberattack and they were doing it.<\/p>\n What do we answer with?\u00a0 An indictment!\u00a0 But this indictment features something that will never happen, and that\u2019s a trial.\u00a0 There will never be anything more than what we have now, and so we\u2019re left to conclude the Russians are a bunch of bad guys. But it was 90 people, and their budget was under $2 million.\u00a0 They are pikers.\u00a0 Now, Robert Creamer… (You thought I lost my place, but I never lose my place.)<\/p>\n Robert Creamer was hired by Hillary Clinton to hire people to attend Trump rallies and cause fights and protests.\u00a0 They were paid.\u00a0 How do we know this?\u00a0 Robert Creamer was videotape admitting it, unwittingly.\u00a0 It was a Project Veritas sting operation<\/a>. This guy Creamer is a Democrat operative, married to a woman who\u2019s a Democrat congresswoman from Chicago, from Illinois.\u00a0 And he\u2019s right there.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FOXNewsSundayRUSHA021818.jpg\")
Anyway, let\u2019s go to the phones. We have Annie here, Columbus, Ohio. Great to have you. I\u2019m glad you\u2019re up first today. Welcome.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021618-NRA-1.jpg\")
Their messaging said, “Democrats, Republicans, you\u2019ve goofed up. You\u2019ve made mistakes.\u00a0 This is not political.”\u00a0 But yet everything they\u2019re doing is right out of the Democrat Party\u2019s various playbooks.\u00a0 It has the same enemies: the NRA and guns.\u00a0 You can\u2019t take social media out of the equation here.\u00a0 Social media is the primary information source for young people today, and they know where to go to get what they want to hear.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Creamer-B.jpg\")
<\/a>If you read the indictment carefully, you find that Hillary was the one that the Russians expected to win, and that\u2019s the reason why so much of what they were doing was pitched against her. Everybody in the world thought Hillary was gonna win.\u00a0 The Russians thought Hillary was gonna win.\u00a0 Trump thought Hillary was gonna win.\u00a0 The media thought Hillary was gonna win.\u00a0 You thought Hillary was gonna win.\u00a0 Everybody did.
