RUSH: \u201cEight House Dems Break With Leadership On Wall Funding For The Wall.<\/a>\u201d This is at The Daily Caller. Yesterday the Democrat leadership introduced an amendment to legislation for supplemental funding for disasters. The amendment would specifically prohibit funding the border wall, but eight Democrats voted against the amendment.<\/p>\n

I bet you that they are from districts that Trump won. And I\u2019ll bet you that there are many others, dozens more who are in the same boat, but you\u2019re not gonna realize how vulnerable they are. They don\u2019t yet anyways. Some of these Democrats say that they agree that there\u2019s some need for some element of a physical barrier in any package on border security.<\/p>\n

So while everybody thinks that Trump needs to cave and Trump needs to sue for peace, the fact of the matter is that there are beginning to be breaks on the left. And let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. We\u2019re gonna start here with Steny Hoyer last night on Special Report with Bret Baier. Steny Hoyer is Pelosi\u2019s number 2 in the House. He\u2019s from Maryland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I want to share something with you when I finish these bites, just an observation I made about Hoyer some years ago. The question that Bret Baier asked Steny Hoyer, \u201cIs this wall that Trump wants, is it, as your party says, an immorality?\u201d<\/p>\n

HOYER: I don\u2019t think this is an issue of morality. It\u2019s an issue of does it work.<\/p>\n

BAIER: So they work some places.<\/p>\n

HOYER: Obviously, they work some places. There are all sorts of alternatives that we could pursue, I think, to come up with a consensus solution to achieve the objective I think we all want to achieve and that is a secure and safe border for our country and for our citizens.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait. That\u2019s a Democrat you\u2019re listening to. A Democrat. \u201cI think to come up with a consensus solution to achieve the objective I think we all want to achieve, and that is a secure and safe border for our country and for our citizens.\u201d Steny, you ought to go read Farhad Manjoo today in the New York Times advocating for no borders<\/a> and suggesting a Democrat can win everything by adopting it. You ought to go read that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, he\u2019s a Democrat, Steny Hoyer, Pelosi\u2019s number 2! \u201cI think to come up with a consensus solution to achieve the objective I think we all want to achieve, and that is a secure and safe border for our country.\u201d Well, that sound bite made the rounds of a bunch of other cable news shows, including today on America\u2019s Newsroom. Sandra Smith was talking to Matt Schlapp, the American Conservative Union chairman, about Hoyer\u2019s comments last night. Sandra Smith said, “He said it\u2019s not an immorality. He suggests border walls, in his words, work.”<\/p>\n

SCHLAPP: You know, Sandra, the dirty little secret is that there are a lot of divisions amongst Democrats. Steny Hoyer does not like Nancy Pelosi, and that came out in this interview. And the facts also came out. We have something like 690 miles of border protection on our southern border. Half the border already has walls, fences, and barriers. All the president\u2019s saying, let\u2019s add some 200 miles to that. It\u2019s actually a pretty modest proposal. And even when Nancy Pelosi said that I can\u2019t handle, for some crazy reason, the idea of cement, which is a part of all buildings everywhere on the globe, he said, “Okay. We won\u2019t do cement. We\u2019ll do American steel.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Steny Hoyer, according to Matt Schlapp, does not like Pelosi at all, went so far as to say that he hates her guts. He has been fighting her for decades, that they have an acrimonious relationship. It\u2019s never covered by the media. That\u2019s true. It isn\u2019t. I hear this, and I ask, \u201cWell, if it\u2019s so acrimonious, why does she put up with him as number 2?\u201d She wouldn\u2019t have to. I am not disbelieving Matt Schlapp. No way.<\/p>\n

But I just want to tell you, you remember — you may not. I remember the day that the Democrats celebrated the signing of Obamacare. They had the ceremony at the White House, and they had a bunch of buses up on Capitol Hill. They were gonna take a bunch of Democrat members of Congress up there to the White House to participate in the signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz was running around, she was exulting, she was so happy, she couldn\u2019t even stay on the bus. She kept getting on the bus and getting off the bus, posing for every camera that she could find, just excited as she could be. Steny Hoyer, on the other hand, did not look like he was feeling celebratory at all.<\/p>\n

Now, this had nothing to do with Pelosi other than the fact that she had spearheaded it through the House. But it was clearly Obama\u2019s deal. She was running around, Pelosi, “Affordable health care for all Americans.” She\u2019s a doofus. She didn\u2019t even know what it was gonna cost people. She had no clue. Affordable health care for all. But Steny Hoyer did not look like he was all-in. Now, that\u2019s just a facial expression. Maybe he looks like a mummy all the time. I don\u2019t know. But he did not look like he was into this. And I did not know until Matt Schlapp said last night that Hoyer and Pelosi do not get along. That was also news.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rush Limbaugh, a guy in a golf shirt in Palm Beach who the left thinks is running the country.<\/p>\n

Another story at TheHill.com today alleging that I am running the country, that I could end the shutdown, that I am responsible for it. I think we\u2019re into week four of this now and there\u2019s even more evidence.<\/p>\n

But I want to get started on the phones, get that done in the first hour today.<\/p>\n

Becky in Tucson, you\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you. Hi.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you today?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good today. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What I want to talk to you about is I heard what you said yesterday about the president staying strong<\/a>. I totally agree with you. It\u2019s the State of the Union. It\u2019s his right. It\u2019s the most important thing he can do to the nation in the Constitution. And some of the things I think he should do in it is have every congressman member, all Republicans there, but he should invite the most important Americans to that speech. All angel families, legal aliens, military, family members who have lost children because of the drugs, small business owners, faith-based ministers and priests and rabbis, those are the most important people that should be at that meeting —<\/p>\n

RUSH: So wait a minute. That\u2019s a lot of people. Wait a minute, Becky, Beck, that\u2019s a lot of people. Why do you think this speech needs to happen? Where should it take place?<\/p>\n

CALLER: We don\u2019t need the Democrats there. We can just stack it with people that are Americans.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know, but you\u2019re gonna need a stadium for this with the number of people that you want to be there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Why not?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not saying why not. Do you have a place in mind or do you think anywhere Trump —<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I just think that, I know they get to invite people when they do the State of the Union speech, I think the most important people they should be inviting is the American people. We are the most important people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s a good point. TIME magazine said that they are the most, they were the people of the year, journalists were people of the year. About this, Mark Meadows, who is a congressman, Republican, North Carolina, tweeted yesterday that Pelosi invited — did you hear about this? — Pelosi already invited Trump to do the State of the Union back on January 2nd or 3rd, and, of course, the Drive-Bys are not reporting that, but she\u2019s already invited him. Now she\u2019s rescinding the invitation under the guise there isn\u2019t security.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s not sufficient security, then why is the House open now? I mean, they\u2019re conducting business in the House of Representatives now, which is where the State of the Union show is, and the Homeland Security director, Kirstjen Nielsen said don\u2019t sweat it, we can secure the place, shutdown or no shutdown. This is pure power politics. This is Pelosi essentially treating Trump like he\u2019s a chump. That\u2019s all this is. This is an open show of insolent disrespect because, A, I think she feels that genuinely. It\u2019s also a production for the rabid Democrat base.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trump has his options. He can, like I suggest any week, go anywhere to do this speech and he may as well put a bunch of friendly people in the audience and take advantage of the bully pulpit that it would afford him to inform and educate people. I wouldn\u2019t do it like a rally. I would differentiate it from a Trump rally.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll still introduce him. I\u2019m not withdrawing my invitation to do that if that would be something that would fit. I don\u2019t know that it would. But I\u2019m just suggesting that there\u2019s any number of ways he could do this and maintain the stature that people associate with State of the Union addresses or presentations. Maybe a combination of the rally format. But I wouldn\u2019t go full-fledged rally. I would save those for what they are. Those are campaign things. This should be treated as a genuine State of the Union.<\/p>\n

And then open up and tell everybody the truth about the State of the Union and tell everybody what\u2019s good and what\u2019s bad and who\u2019s threatening us and how and why and what are the greatest objectives that we need to accomplish and what\u2019s standing in our way. You know, do a legitimate State of the Union. But don\u2019t go up there and do a laundry list of \u201cHere\u2019s what I want to spend money on. Here\u2019s how I\u2019m gonna buy your vote. This how I\u2019m gonna buy your vote. This is the cancer I\u2019m gonna cure here, and this is the blindness I\u2019m gonna cure over there, and the paralysis I\u2019m gonna cure next.\u201d Don\u2019t do any of that. Do a genuine, legit State of the Union.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rush Limbaugh, laundering information for the masses. That\u2019s what I am, folks, an information launderer.<\/p>\n

Minor correction. Steny Hoyer runs for the leadership position of the House. Pelosi can say nothing about it. He often wanted to be Speaker, but imagine if there were some discord like that in the GOP. Do you think you\u2019d know about it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
