CNN just hit a new low.&nbsp; They just came in under the Shark Network or something.&nbsp; I never even knew there was a Shark Network, but CNN got eaten by the Shark Network.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, CNN is tanking.&nbsp; If it weren\u2019t for the fact that they\u2019re in airports where you have no choice but than to watch them&#8230; I mean, it\u2019s pathetic!&nbsp; It is pathetic &#8212; and they know it!&nbsp; And they\u2019re continuing to do everything to shred additional audience.&nbsp; So here\u2019s Wolf Blitzer going out with Jimmy Kimmel. The combined IQ of these two, what do you think it would be?&nbsp; They\u2019re commiserating with each other over how rotten Trump is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, my God.&nbsp; We got get rid of him, right?&#8221; (sobbing) Said Kimmel, &#8220;We gotta get rid of him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kimmel complained that\u2019s the news cycle was constant thanks to Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What?&nbsp; It\u2019s Trump\u2019s fault that they\u2019re covering Trump?&nbsp; The news cycle is Trump\u2019s fault?&nbsp; What, Trump won\u2019t shut up?&nbsp; Trump won\u2019t stop being president?&nbsp; The thing that has to be emphasized here is the reason why Donald Trump is at 50% approval &#8212; the reason why none of these things like Omarosa and all the others are hurting Trump &#8212; is because of policy.&nbsp; Donald Trump campaigned on policy more so than any presidential candidate in my memory.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you always have to throw Reagan in there.&nbsp; Reagan had just a brilliant three-legged-stool message that was consistent and it was easy to understand and he accomplished it.&nbsp; Trump has been talking about trade. These people don\u2019t understand. The media and the left do understand not why the American people don\u2019t turn on Trump because of what the Europeans are saying about him.&nbsp; Donald Trump is teaching the American people about trade, and he\u2019s been doing it since the campaign!<\/p>\n<p>Stop and think of something.&nbsp; The subject of trade &#8212; trade deals, trade deficits &#8212; how do you get more boring?&nbsp; How do you get more milquetoast?&nbsp; And yet Donald Trump has persisted since the campaign, highlighting the problems, teaching the American people how the American population has been victimized by bad trade deals &#8212; and then he\u2019s gone about changing them!&nbsp; The Drive-Bys and Europeans can\u2019t understand why the American people are not abandoning Trump because of tariffs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-242801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-080117-Trump-Rally.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-080117-Trump-Rally.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FB-080117-Trump-Rally-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>It\u2019s because Trump is teaching them.&nbsp; If they just take the time to listen these rallies, if they would take the time to listen to the way Trump talks at campaign appearances and elsewhere and on television.&nbsp; He is educating the American people about these things, and he\u2019s been talking about trade and bad trade deals for longer than 2-1\/2, three years.&nbsp; So much of Trump\u2019s success &#8212; practically all of it &#8212; is rooted in policy, policy that matters to people, and the left cannot fight that.&nbsp; The media can\u2019t fight that.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why they\u2019re trying to go after Trump on he\u2019s not sophisticated enough, and he doesn\u2019t have enough character, and they don\u2019t understand why they\u2019re unable to take him out.&nbsp; It\u2019s because of policy.&nbsp; The answer to every complaint they\u2019ve got about why Trump won\u2019t go away is policy.&nbsp; He is more effective in explaining it, more effective in teaching it, and more effective at telling people how he is succeeding along the way with every one of these policies that he is tackling, be it trade or anything else.&nbsp; So Kimmel and Wolf Blitzer haven\u2019t the slightest idea how ridiculous they look!&nbsp; Blaming Trump for the news cycle?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;It\u2019s been crazy,\u2019 Blizer [sic] agreed. Kimmel wondered if that was &#8216;good or bad\u2019 for the news business,&#8221; the news cycle. &#8220;That led Blitzer to bash Trump for attacking &#8216;world class news organization\u2019 CNN, that was an &#8216;important part of our democracy.'&#8221;&nbsp; Let me ask you something, folks.&nbsp; If CNN went out of business today, would American democracy suffer?&nbsp; If CNN closed up shop, went out of business, would our country be imperiled?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; It wouldn\u2019t.&nbsp; I mean, not a shred.<\/p>\n<p>CNN going out of business wouldn\u2019t cause a blip anywhere except to people that work at CNN and a bunch of leftists around the country who depend on \u2019em.&nbsp; But yet here\u2019s Wolf Blitzer really thinking that CNN and MSNBC and all the rest of them are the only thing holding this country together during the Trump presidency.&nbsp; This is an arrogance but it\u2019s also a stupidity.&nbsp; You know, we assign&#8230; I\u2019ve made this observation too.&nbsp; We assign to leftists a modicum of intelligence and then claim that it\u2019s their bias and their ideology that drives them.<\/p>\n<p>I am being forced here to revise my own thinking, that a large part of what propels these people every day is just flat-out stupidity. It\u2019s genuine stupidity, genuine ignorance, dumb stupidity and an inability to learn, an inability to have an open enough mind to observe things that are happening and honestly record them, note that they\u2019re happening, calculate them, and try to understand why.&nbsp; There\u2019s just a flat-out, total rejection of anything and everything that happens to be Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And now they\u2019ve got themselves believing that they are the last line of defense in saving the United States.&nbsp; It\u2019s just&#8230; It\u2019s an arrogance coupled with a condescension that is breathtaking to behold &#8212; and then you have to ask, what is it about presidential elections that liberals don\u2019t get?&nbsp; When you win, you get four years, and then you run again.&nbsp; If you win again, you get four more years, just like Obama, just like George W. Bush.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the way it works.<\/p>\n<p>Just because your candidate loses doesn\u2019t give you the right to run the winner out of town or out of office because his four years are up.&nbsp; But because Trump is from the outside, because Trump is not from (whatever you want to call it) the club, he\u2019s gotta go.&nbsp; And they claim that they\u2019re the last line of defense of our democracy.&nbsp; These people are single-handedly attempting to upend it.&nbsp; These people, Wolf Blitzer and the media, are single-handedly doing everything they can to blow up our democracy because they didn\u2019t like the results of a particular election!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-240520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0-stack-RushStack-Newspapers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"552\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0-stack-RushStack-Newspapers.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0-stack-RushStack-Newspapers-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/>And that leads me to the USA Today piece that I referenced at the top of the program.&nbsp; This is by&#8230; Let\u2019s see. Tina D-u-p-u-y.&nbsp; How would you pronounce it?&nbsp; Dew-pway? Dew-pie?&nbsp; It\u2019s D-u-y-p-u-y.&nbsp; Anyway, she\u2019s an opinion contributor at USA Today.&nbsp; A week ago she had a piece entitled, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/opinion\/2018\/08\/10\/donald-trump-russia-election-inept-monarch-abolish-presidency-column\/923543002\/\">Donald Trump Broke the Presidency. It\u2019s Time to Get Rid of the Job Altogether.<\/a>&#8221;&nbsp; Like I said, when the Democrats, when the left lose anything, suddenly the whole system is bad.<\/p>\n<p>When they lose an election, when they lose the presidency, when they lose something, suddenly it\u2019s the system that\u2019s gone bad and it needs to be overthrown. It can\u2019t possibly be that they were rejected for legitimate reasons. It just can\u2019t be. So now they\u2019re willing to get rid of the presidency altogether and the Constitution. And of course they would never think anything like this if Hillary Clinton had won.<\/p>\n<p>But let me just share with you some of &#8212; USA Today actually published this. This is no different than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez getting a degree in economics and not even knowing what it is! She is literally a dunce when it comes to basic Economics 101. And she got a degree in it. And this is happening all over the American university system, particularly Ivy League, which is where people are trained to end up in government, end up in bureaucracy, and in charge of things.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump Broke the Presidency. It\u2019s time to get rid of the job altogether. Donald Trump is proof that the U.S. presidency is broken and democracy is in peril. It\u2019s time to amend the Constitution and abolish the presidency.&#8221; This babe, Tina Dupuy, is a former Capitol Hill staffer. I don\u2019t know if she\u2019s a ChiCom spy like was on Dianne Feinstein\u2019s staff, but she was a Capitol Hill staffer. She has written for The Atlantic, for the Los Angeles Times, for Vox, and for Mother Jones. And she is a host on satellite radio\u2019s leftist channel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve seen it: the belligerent typo-ridden tweets; the fawning press conferences with autocrats and overlords; the self-described Nazis on parade praising an American president\u2019s name. We have seen it with our own eyes. There is a bloated authoritarian lounging in his bathrobe in a 200-year-old mansion that used to symbolize the principal republic of the world. This is a man who openly conspired to cheat with the help of a hostile foreign nation in a federal election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is what I mean. These people literally believe something that did not happen! The Russians did not affect the outcome of an election or a single vote. It\u2019s the Democrats that worked with Russians to sabotage a campaign, not the other way around. And this woman, published by USA Today, a former Capitol Hill staffer, is embarrassingly dumb!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no other way to describe this. It\u2019s not enough to say she\u2019s wrong or misguided. This is just genuinely stupid. Is it hurting my argument to call them this? I\u2019ve tried every which way. They\u2019re misguided, they\u2019re incorrect, they\u2019re wrong, they believe the wrong media, but this is just &#8212; how do you write this? You lose an election, it means the presidency is no longer worthwhile, it\u2019s been sabotaged, the Constitution needs to be amended?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a man who openly conspired to cheat with the help of a hostile foreign nation in a federal election. On election night, he came in second place, yet due to a scab of slavery in the Constitution (the electoral college), this usurper has the full power of the most powerful military in history, command of the treasury, the absolute power to pardon and he can unilaterally annihilate millions of people with his command to deploy nuclear weapons. He\u2019s made refugees begging us for mercy into orphans hoping it will deter other asylum seekers \u2014 because he can. He\u2019s now poised to put a man on the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, who believes in supreme leaders. Russia attacked our country; the target was Hillary Clinton and liberal democracy and they hit their mark.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No, Tina. This is the great irony. The Russian target was Donald Trump. If what you believe is true, if you believe the Russians meddled &#8212; you go look at the Trump dossier, the Steele dossier, go look at all of this stuff, it was designed to destroy Donald Trump, Tina. If Donald Trump is Vladimir Putin\u2019s puppet, then why are Russian agents creating material designed to destroy Trump? Hmm? It doesn\u2019t make any sense!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Russia attacked our country. The target was Hillary.&#8221; No. Hillary Clinton is working with the Russians. Vladimir Putin wanted a derelict in the White House. Vladimir Putin wanted somebody he knew he could dominate and manipulate and control. Vladimir Putin wanted somebody in the White House he knew he had already bought, and her husband!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you\u2019re stunned that President Donald Trump is still in office because he\u2019s so horrible and so unpopular and so obviously corrupt \u2014 you are not alone \u2014 the overwhelming majority agrees with you. Only about 25 percent of eligible voters voted for President Grab \u2018Em By The P&#8212;-. Yet, the majority was apparently powerless to stop him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And then she goes on to say impeachment will not remove Trump from office. It\u2019s never happened. We have to abolish the presidency. You know how stupid this is? How long would it take you to amend the Constitution and write the presidency out of it? How long would it take you, assuming you could even do it? How long would that take? Long after Trump leaves office in 2024. I mean, this is just flat-out dumb. It\u2019s panic stricken dumb and stupid.

And you know, you go back to this babe at USA Today, Tina what\u2019s-her-face writing about how Trump is just outrageous, we\u2019ve gotta get rid of the presidency.

They are livid when Trump nominates a Supreme Court justice.<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t stand Trump exercising presidential power. That\u2019s what they can\u2019t come to grips with. That\u2019s what they cannot accept. They can\u2019t accept losing. They can\u2019t accept that kind of power being in the hands of other people.
