RUSH: You know, during the midterm elections everybody was pondering, “Gee, what\u2019s gonna happen if the Democrats win the House?” We all guessed correctly that they would just do nothing but investigations. In fact, you want to hear this? Pencil Neck Adam Schiff! When the BuzzFeed story came out last Friday and it was simmering out there — it was kind of exploding, actually, all day long — and then finally the office of the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, Esq., debunked the story and said that it wasn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n

\"\"And the Drive-By Media had a collective depression and all of their acolytes had a collective depression. (laughing) And so now Adam Schiff and some of these other Democrat committee chairmen in the House said, “You know what?” I need to add one thing. Who was it? Jonathan Karl of ABC News said that he had heard that people had better be prepared for a report from Mueller that is anti-climactic<\/a>. Meaning: It ain\u2019t gonna be what everybody\u2019s hoping. Meaning: It isn\u2019t gonna have evidence in there that Trump needs to go.<\/p>\n

So I have detected that there is more and more of this sentiment that whatever Mueller ends up reporting, it isn\u2019t gonna be bombshell. It isn\u2019t gonna be blockbuster. And, of course, if it was always based on the evidence, we could have told you that from before the day Mueller started. The question here is whether this has ever been about evidence or not, because actually it hasn\u2019t. There wasn\u2019t any collusion. You know the drill on that.<\/p>\n

So the Democrats, now (in further evidence that they are afraid Mueller\u2019s got nothing) are announcing new investigations, even additional investigations from what we know that they\u2019ve said they\u2019re gonna do. Adam Schiff has said that if the Mueller report is unsatisfying, they\u2019re just gonna start it themselves. They\u2019re gonna start their own investigation all over again. They\u2019re telegraphing that if Mueller doesn\u2019t have anything, that\u2019s not gonna be the end of it, that they\u2019re going to impanel new committees.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to think. What more do they think they will be able to get than the CIA can get, than the FBI can get, than the DOJ can get, than MI5 and MI6 can get? I mean, they\u2019ve turned this earth upside down looking for evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians, and there isn\u2019t any evidence of it. And these people have gotten so accustomed, their expectations are so high, that if now… They\u2019re being asked point-blank, “Well, what if Mueller\u2019s report doesn\u2019t have anything?”<\/p>\n

(sputtering) “Well — well — well that — that — that just means that we\u2019re gonna have to kick in our own investigations here,” and the assumption is that Trump will have done something to bottle this up or what have you. I mean, it\u2019s pure irrationality on parade, and if they do this after the Mueller report, no matter what it is? If they\u2019re unsatisfied with it and then double down and start process all over again, I\u2019m guaranteeing you that more Americans than you can possibly calculate are gonna throw up their hands in frustration and totally oppose it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I mean, the lunatic Democrat base will be all for it. But the point is, we knew this is what they\u2019re gonna do. I\u2019m just trying to tell you that you\u2019re gonna do even more. They\u2019re gonna do even more investigations depending on what Mueller does have and comes up with. But in all of our prognosticating, in all of our forecasting, in all of the imagining what the Democrats would do, how many of you ever assumed that after they won the House, that they would shut down the government and then try to prevent Trump from giving the State of the Union address?<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t! Those two things never crossed my radar. But here we are, and so now Trump has made a proposal to The Turtle, Mitch McConnell, the leader in the Senate, of ways to get the government back up and running and get the wall built. He\u2019s offered Democrats much of what they have claimed to have wanted, but it contains money for the wall. The Democrats are saying, led by Pelosi, they\u2019re not even gonna talk to him. So now there\u2019s some breakage in the ranks.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of prominent Democrats who are saying, “Come on! Just give him the money and let\u2019s open the government back up!” Other Democrats — and they\u2019re freshmen — say, “Come on! You\u2019ve got talk to him. Get in the room and talk to him!” But Pelosi is intractable. Pelosi will not budge. Steny Hoyer has broken away from her yet again on all of this<\/a>, and I just find it fascinating. You know, Hillary Clinton was talking about once the Democrats get back in charge it\u2019s gonna be the “return to civility.”<\/p>\n

Ha! Return to civility?<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, she may have been talking about once they win the White House again. But they\u2019ve won the House, and there isn\u2019t any pretense of civility happening out there. Not on their side of the aisle. We have a continued disintegration of our culture, continuing disintegration of our society, a culture war started by them and continually waged by them. They\u2019re never happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
