Supposedly in the Drive-By Media, the Democrats are being walked back on their desire to impeach Trump by Pelosi. Pelosi is saying (paraphrasing), &#8220;I don\u2019t think you got it yet. Keep digging. But we\u2019re not there yet.&#8221; Meanwhile, all these other Democrats, Swalwell and all these other people are out there, &#8220;Oh, no, we\u2019re gonna impeach, we\u2019re gonna remove Trump.&#8221; Swalwell is predicting that Trump is gonna be removed from office.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-021418-Rush-Sounds-Alarm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-021418-Rush-Sounds-Alarm.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-021418-Rush-Sounds-Alarm-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, one of the prevailing theories on this is that if they impeach Trump, they go through the motions. And impeachment is a political thing and it\u2019s two phases. The impeachment is the House of Representatives bringing up charges, the charges of high crimes and misdemeanors, the impeachable offenses. Those are called articles of impeachment, and the House of Representatives creates those, and each different article has a manager or a lawyer that will present that case, however many articles there are, to the Senate, which is where the trial takes place.<\/p>\n<p>So just because the House impeaches doesn\u2019t mean anything. It\u2019s not good. I mean, you don\u2019t want that. It happened to Clinton. But then you have to go to the Senate, you have to get conviction on some or all of the charges. And you have to be convicted of impeachment, and then you\u2019re thrown out of office.<\/p>\n<p>So the prevailing theory is &#8212; and even from the Trump White House &#8212; let \u2019em go ahead. It\u2019s gonna tick off the American people, and it\u2019s gonna backfire on \u2019em, the American people want to move on, there\u2019s no collusion, the Mueller report\u2019s out and all that. I have a different take on this. Everybody cites Clinton. And, in fact, Senator Grahamnesty was on Hannity last night, and he made the point that look what happened to Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>His popularity shot up to the seventies when Bill Clinton was being impeached. The American people don\u2019t want this. They don\u2019t want the president they elected thrown out of office by the opposition party. Well, what do you think has been the effort going on here for two and a half years?<\/p>\n<p>But I think there are some stark differences between the impeachment of Clinton and how it was handled and what this would be. In other words, I don\u2019t think that we should conclude that it\u2019s an automatic slam dunk that the impeachment process would necessarily redound positively to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Are you of the frame of mind, point of view that if they try this, Trump benefits because the American people are worn out? All right. Well, let me present to you my theorems here, and then you tell me what you think of this. &#8216;Cause it\u2019s true. Mr. Snerdley is very typical here. A lot of people on our side &#8212; I just quoted Lindsey Grahamnesty 2.0 &#8212; are saying, &#8220;Go ahead. Go ahead, House Democrats, impeach Trump. You\u2019ll just end up reelecting him, just like impeaching Bill Clinton reelected him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, let\u2019s go back to the Clinton impeachment. Number one, and something everybody is either forgetting or ignoring, and it\u2019s a very gigantic difference between the two situations. Throughout the Clinton impeachment, the Drive-By Media defended Bill Clinton every day on every charge, every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did the Drive-By Media defend Bill Clinton, they hid the actual charges in the articles of impeachment. The Drive-By Media hid the evidence against Clinton. They buried the fact, by not talking about it, that Clinton\u2019s crimes were perjury and suborning perjury and witness tampering.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042319-Bill-Clinton-Impeach-Speech.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042319-Bill-Clinton-Impeach-Speech.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042319-Bill-Clinton-Impeach-Speech-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bill Clinton lied under oath. Bill Clinton asked other people to lie under oath. He tampered with witnesses in that process. Those are real instances of obstruction of justice. Trump is nothing compared to what Bill Clinton did. Donald Trump has not obstructed justice in any way, shape, manner, or form, except in their dreams. But Bill Clinton did.<\/p>\n<p>When you lie under oath to the grand jury, when you suborn perjury of other witnesses and tamper with them, those are separate crimes. One is obstructing justice and, of course, the separate crimes of perjury and suborning perjury and witness tampering. Instead, the Drive-By Media told us all the time that it was just about sex. They said that Bill Clinton was being impeached for Lewinsky, that Clinton was being impeached for all of the women that he had had extramarital affairs with under the watchful eye of Hillary Rodham Clinton &#8212; and make no mistake, she knew about all of them.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, there was Gennifer Flowers. So while the Clinton impeachment is ongoing and the trial is ongoing, the media\u2019s not talking about it. You have to discern this for yourself. The media is castigating the Republicans. The media is beating the Republicans every day, shaming \u2019em. &#8220;You\u2019re trying to throw somebody out of office for sex! You\u2019re trying to impeach somebody for sex. It\u2019s none of yourself business! It didn\u2019t affect the way he did his job. Sex should be out of limits,&#8221; and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>They never talked about the fact that Clinton was actually being impeached for perjury, real obstruction of justice. Now, it ain\u2019t gonna be that way with Trump, folks. The news media\u2019s gonna do the exact opposite. If these people on the Democrat side go ahead with impeachment, instead of hiding Trump\u2019s alleged crimes&#8230; Remember, Trump hasn\u2019t committed a crime here. He has not committed a crime. He has not obstructed justice. There is no way a case could be made. But they\u2019re gonna impeach him, and who knows what the charges will be.<\/p>\n<p>But whatever the charges are, the media will amplify them. The media will promote them. The media will support the impeachment. The media will be, as it is today, an extension of the impeachment process in the House of Representatives. Whatever crimes, questionable conduct that they dredge up, they&#8230; In fact, they will help the House of Representatives dredge up additional crimes and bad behavior.<\/p>\n<p>And if they have to make stuff up (which they will have to do), they will do it, and the media will be right there helping them. And the media will present everything they and the Democrats come up with as indisputable fact. And we will be told that it is impossible to let Trump remain in office having committed so many ethical lapses, so many crimes &#8212; whatever it is they come up with &#8212; and it will be as relentless as the first two years of reporting on Russian collusion will be.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the next phase of the coup, folks.\u00a0 The media hid Clinton\u2019s crimes. They chastised the Republicans. Let\u2019s not forget, Lindsey Graham version 1.0 was a conservative in the House of Representatives, and he was one of the House managers that tried one of the charges against Clinton in the Senate.\u00a0 The Senate didn\u2019t want it.\u00a0 The Senate didn\u2019t want to deal with this trial.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t want the House to do what it did.\u00a0 But the House did it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-299995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021519-Trump-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021519-Trump-004.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021519-Trump-004-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The House managers, many of them, were so humiliated by what the media did to them that they immediately abandoned conservatism for a while.\u00a0 They hid.\u00a0 They wanted no part of it.\u00a0 Everybody involved on the Republican side acted embarrassed, acted ashamed simply because of how the media treated it.\u00a0 So when the impeachment effort, when the trial failed, there was this gigantic party and celebration at the White House &#8212; and, of course, the media was there.\u00a0 All of this that I just described is gonna play out during the presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>It will be the presidential campaign.\u00a0 If they follow through on this impeachment business, it will be the presidential campaign.\u00a0 The only reason &#8212; not the only, but the primary reason that Bill Clinton survived impeachment is because the media went out and destroyed Republicans in the House, particularly the House managers, and lied to the American people about why Bill Clinton was being impeached.<\/p>\n<p>You go out and run a test. Find some people that were alive back then and old enough to be paying attention and ask \u2019em what they think Clinton was impeached over, and they\u2019ll tell you Paula Jones or Monica Lewinsky.\u00a0 That\u2019s what they\u2019ll tell you, right?\u00a0 And that\u2019s not what it was at all. Well, he wasn\u2019t impeached over that.\u00a0 He was impeached for perjury, suborning perjury, lying under oath, tampering with witnesses.\u00a0 But they all cast it aside as, &#8220;A bunch of Puritan, no-fun, stuffed-shirt Republicans don\u2019t want anybody having sex, just jealous that Clinton got so much, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re out there impeaching him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That what it was, and a lot of people ended up believing it.\u00a0 So Clinton\u2019s approval ratings did, at one point in all this, reach the seventies.\u00a0 Think that\u2019ll happen with Trump?\u00a0 So, Mr. Snerdley, now that I have run through what the&#8230; (interruption) Well, he encouraged Lewinsky to file a false affidavit.\u00a0 He encouraged Monica Lewinsky to file a false affidavit and give false testimony if and when she was called to testify.\u00a0 He told her to conceal gifts that he had given to Lewinsky that had to be subpoenaed, attempting to secure a job for Lewinsky to influence her testimony.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all kinds of things that he did!<\/p>\n<p>Suborning perjury, witness tampering, trying to get Lewinsky to tell lies or not tell the truth.\u00a0 But that\u2019s not what Clinton was impeached over!\u00a0 So I&#8230; Look, I\u2019m sitting here. I don\u2019t know how an impeachment process would play out terms of public opinion, but I can tell you I just described for you what it\u2019s gonna be.\u00a0 I want to go back, folks. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/07\/17\/trump-has-nothing-but-the-people-who-voted-for-him\/\">I want to take you back to January 23, 2017<\/a>.\u00a0 Do you know when that is?\u00a0 That is three days after President Trump was inaugurated.\u00a0 Three days after he was inaugurated, I warned everybody.<\/p>\n<p>BEGIN ARCHIVE CLIP<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: [T]he entire Washington establishment is opposed to him.

That will happen. Trump has nothing but the people that voted for him, and if the media can soften some of their verve \u2014 if the media can succeed in separating some Trump supporters from him \u2014 then their theory is he will be weakened even further and exposed even more as fraudulently and illegitimately elected and illegitimately serving. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-240965\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TRUMPINAUGURAL-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TRUMPINAUGURAL-1.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TRUMPINAUGURAL-1-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This election is not over.

If you\u2019ve paid attention the last five years, you can\u2019t possibly have missed it &#8212; and if you just watched the way they behaved during the transition, it\u2019s impossible to have missed what they were gonna do.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ve got a couple calls on the board about my little mini-monologue there on impeachment, the differences between the way Clinton\u2019s impeachment was handled and the way a Trump impeachment would be. And rather than have these people on hold while I get on to other things, I\u2019m gonna take the calls now so that their calls are close to the actual time I discussed what it is they\u2019re reacting to.<\/p>\n<p>Our first call is Robert in Houston, and it says here that you disagree with my take on this. That\u2019s good. What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, Mr. Limbaugh, God bless you, sir. It\u2019s been the second time I got to talk to you in my lifetime. It\u2019s as good as Tiger winning the Masters again. I agree with what you said about the difference between the effort to impeach Clinton and the present day concerning the media. I just want to understand, do you think the media has that kind of influence still today, which I totally disagree with. I think they were one of the losers in the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>I believe they\u2019ve been showing themselves losers in popular opinion ever since then. And, frankly, I don\u2019t think many people in the country except the absolute extreme loyalists care what they think anymore. And everybody\u2019s gonna know it\u2019s a sham. They\u2019re gonna have their hard nuts wanting to do anything they can to Trump. But I don\u2019t see that kind of influence &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, there is evidence to support your claim. And I don\u2019t deny it. The ratings for CNN &#8212; folks, I mean, last week the bottom fell out for them. I mean, I think their top was 300-and-some-odd-thousand people, 12 plus. In the demo they were I think barely over a hundred thousand. It was really horrible. And they\u2019ve been shedding viewers for quite a long time. The same thing happened at MSNBC. Although their numbers are not as bad, they have lost significant audience.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times and so forth, I mean, they\u2019re actually rallying a bit with their subscription business. I don\u2019t know how the actual newspaper copy, the hard copy sales are doing. And so if you want to use that as an indication that their sphere of influence is way down, I wouldn\u2019t dispute that, but I don\u2019t think you can write it off. I don\u2019t think you can just assume that everybody has written the media off, no longer believes them.<\/p>\n<p>I know they finished dead last in a survey of various industries people say they respect or disrespect. The media\u2019s down there near the Congress and so forth. But Congress is always down there. It\u2019s not newsworthy anymore that Congress doesn\u2019t have a lot of high respect. I think it\u2019s more Will Rogers than anything.<\/p>\n<p>But the fact remains that they are going to do, if there is an impeachment procedure, they are going to deal with it the way I just described. Now, you could look and say it\u2019s exactly what they\u2019ve done the last two years, and they were unable to bring it off. They were unable to drive Trump\u2019s numbers down. They were unable to get them down to the thirties and twenties to force him out of office, and they gave it everything they\u2019ve got. And there is that.<\/p>\n<p>They gave it everything. Everything they have used to successfully drive Republicans from office they\u2019ve used and used again. They\u2019ve invented some new ones. It all failed. But it doesn\u2019t deter them. They just double down and continue on with it. And they\u2019re gonna do it if there is an impeachment procedure.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not suggesting, by the way, that Trump\u2019s supporters are gonna fade away. I didn\u2019t mean to convey that by playing the sound bite of me three days after Trump was inaugurated. I only played that to show you that I knew what was coming, and I knew what wasn\u2019t going away, that they were gonna impeach or whatever they could and had to do to try to get rid of him. They\u2019ve failed to this point.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m not saying that their impeachment would succeed. I\u2019m just telling you if you think the impeachment of Trump is gonna be equal to the impeachment of Clinton and make Trump that much more popular, maybe, but it\u2019s gonna have to happen a different way because it was the media &#8212; you go back to &#8212; when this happened with Clinton, folks, Fox News had barely gotten started. There wasn\u2019t anything in conservative media.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News Channel had just barely gotten started during all that. There wasn\u2019t any conservative Web apparatus to speak of. And so the Drive-By Media back then still carried considerable influence. They were starting to lose it. Their monopoly had been busted what with the arrival of this program.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-296537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-011718-Combat-Drive-By-Media.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-011718-Combat-Drive-By-Media.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-011718-Combat-Drive-By-Media-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tough call because they\u2019re gonna be out there, and they\u2019re gonna be doing everything that they\u2019ve been doing the last two years and running interference for the Democrats. I do agree that their audience has fallen, and that does mean that their sphere of influence is down, but where it isn\u2019t is with Millennials.<\/p>\n<p>Millennials are buying hook, line, and sinker into what the Drive-By Media reports because they stream media, and that\u2019s how they get their news these days, Yahoo News or Facebook news feed or what have you. And we all know what social media has done to conservative influence. But Robert, good thoughts, and I appreciate your call.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Jim in Danville, Virginia, wants to weigh in on it. How you doing, sir?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you for taking my call. And I just wanted to reiterate your previous caller. I agree with your statements about what the media\u2019s gonna do. Though unlike your previous caller, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna have an effect. And to give an example, my wife and I did not vote for President Trump because we didn\u2019t trust him. We voted third party. We didn\u2019t think he was conservative enough.<\/p>\n<p>But because of his actions since he\u2019s been elected, not only will I and my wife vote for him, but my 18-year-old daughter is also voting for Trump. And most of her friends of the same age are also Trump supporters. There are too many forms of media out there today to be able to get accurate media to not have to rely on the lamestream news anymore. They\u2019re a nonfactor, as far as I\u2019m concerned.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, there\u2019s another thing, since you say that, there\u2019s another thing to add. The media is &#8212; let\u2019s be honest about something. The media is wearing people out here, folks. Why is CNN losing audience? They lied to their audience just like the FBI and the CIA lied to the media, although I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s actually true. The media was in on it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-302821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-FBI-031519.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-FBI-031519.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-FBI-031519-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think these people are all in the same club, so to speak. I don\u2019t think there is any reporting going on. There were just various people on the left, in the political movement of the left have their jobs. Journalists job is to act like they\u2019re journalists. The FBI guys act like their FBI, but they\u2019re all left-wing hacks. And they gave it everything they\u2019ve got, and they took their shot at the king, and they weren\u2019t able to connect.<\/p>\n<p>So, any impeachment of Trump, it isn\u2019t gonna feature anything new. There isn\u2019t any bombshell out there. It\u2019s just gonna have to be all of this other stuff recycled and repackaged. And it\u2019s all gonna be oriented about obstruction of justice and what a reprobate Trump is. And, frankly, that\u2019s been litigated, and it isn\u2019t gonna have any impact because it hasn\u2019t up \u2019til now.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this whole business of obstruction of justice, there\u2019s a key line from the attorney general on why there isn\u2019t any, why there wasn\u2019t any obstruction by the president. I don\u2019t care about this Don McGahn story. Supposedly the president called Don McGahn, said, \u201cYou fire Mueller, I hate Mueller, you get rid of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And McGahn said, \u201cI will refuse, I will resign first, I am an honorable guy.\u201d And so Mueller wasn\u2019t fired. Trump is now saying, \u201cI don\u2019t ask people to fire people. If I want to fire people, I\u2019ll do it.\u201d Mueller did not get fired. Barr said the president took no act that in fact deprived the special counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Intending to fire Mueller is not obstruction of justice. Even if it were true, it didn\u2019t happen! So the media can do nothing but recycle everything that\u2019s already bombed out. There\u2019s a part of me &#8212; well, I can\u2019t tell you what I really think &#8212; I just better shut up. They can\u2019t come up with anything new.

There was no investigation here. But I\u2019m not gonna go down that road today. You know the drill.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s northern Colorado.\u00a0 Jim, you\u2019re next, and welcome, sir, to the EIB Network.\u00a0 Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Good to talk to you, Rush, from the oil fields of northern Colorado where we are booming.\u00a0 How are you today?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 I\u2019m doing well.\u00a0 By the way, &#8220;oil fields in northern Colorado.&#8221;\u00a0 I just read that the governor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/politics\/la-pol-ca-gavin-newsom-fracking-oil-drilling-ban-20190423-story.html\">California is on the verge of eliminating<\/a> &#8212; stopping &#8212; all oil drilling in California and offshore, just as an aside.\u00a0 I\u2019m telling you, California is the place to watch.\u00a0 That\u2019s what we\u2019re gonna have to be able to point to and say, &#8220;If we don\u2019t stop the socialists, this is where we\u2019re headed.&#8221;\u00a0 I\u2019m sorry to interrupt you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 You reminded me of that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/TrumpMediaWall-of-trump-C1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/TrumpMediaWall-of-trump-C1.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/TrumpMediaWall-of-trump-C1-300x135.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>CALLER:\u00a0 Bad for them; good for us.\u00a0 Bad for them; good for us.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 The point I wanted to make was the fact that while the media will also go after Trump, he did not enjoy a majority in the Senate.\u00a0 He has more than a handful of senators that may be on board with impeachment. So we need to be very careful with this \u2019cause Clinton had a majority in the Senate that stuck with him, but we know that Mr. Trump does not enjoy that majority in the Senate.\u00a0 The Republicans have a majority, but Mr. Trump does not.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s another good point.\u00a0 That needs to be said too. Let me ask you this, folks.\u00a0 The Mueller report came out last week.\u00a0 How many of you have received congratulatory, upbeat, &#8220;Hey, man, we\u2019re really happy&#8221; emails or any kind of correspondence from your Republican elected official, even asking for money?\u00a0 How many of you have heard from your Republican senator or congressman, &#8220;Hey! Hey! We\u2019re off and running! The Mueller report\u2019s out and there\u2019s no collusion&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Did you get any such thing? No. It\u2019s radio silence.\u00a0 The Republican Party&#8230; (interruption) Yeah, you get one from Trump and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 You don\u2019t get one from your congressman. You don\u2019t get one from your senator.\u00a0 (interruption) Did you get did you get one from yours? (interruption) Nope.\u00a0 See that\u2019s the thing.\u00a0 Where is the celebration on the Republican side for this?\u00a0 You would think that you would be flooded with emails and notifications asking for money in a disguised way, celebrating the results of the Mueller report. But that hasn\u2019t happened, has it?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Phil in Torrance, California.\u00a0 You\u2019re next, sir.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Good morning, Rush, or good afternoon, where you happen to be.\u00a0 I\u2019m calling from California, and let me tell you, it is an absolute honor to speak to you.\u00a0 I think you are the greatest.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Thank you, sir, very much.\u00a0 I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 But now, as far as this issue on impeachment\u2019s concerned, I\u2019ve had a rather dark view of the Republican Party for a long, long time, and I suspect a lot of conservatives have as well.\u00a0 I\u2019m concerned that if they had a secret vote in the House &#8212; well, in the Congress as a whole &#8212; not only would the House impeach him, but the Senate would convict him.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 If it was a secret vote?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Yes, sir.\u00a0 Now, if it\u2019s a public vote, well, maybe there\u2019s some wiggle room there.\u00a0 But you have told us for years, and I believe a hundred percent of it, that there is the swamp.\u00a0 How many people in the Senate are part of that swamp? How many Republican senators are part of that swamp?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Oh, yeah.\u00a0 There\u2019s no question about that.\u00a0 None whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-256795\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-Washington-DC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-Washington-DC.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/FB-Washington-DC-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>CALLER:\u00a0 So I\u2019m concerned that they&#8230; Like I said, I think they wouldn\u2019t mind having Trump out of the way and deal with Mike Pence.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Uh, well, I can\u2019t&#8230; Look, I can\u2019t disagree with this, folks.\u00a0 I think that if there was a secret vote &#8212; if you could vote and nobody knew how you voted in the Senate &#8212; it would be close.\u00a0 It would be close.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about the fact that the Washington establishment is made up of people from both parties, and Trump is persona non grata. He\u2019s an outsider no matter what he does, no matter the achievements.\u00a0 In fact, the better he does, the more they hate him.<\/p>\n<p>The better he does, the worse they look.\u00a0 How many politicians have come along and promised to lower unemployment for blacks and Hispanics &#8212; and how many have done it?\u00a0 The Democrat Party has existed on the basis that they are the only proper place for blacks to vote, the only place blacks will be supported and defended and promoted. And yet here\u2019s this guy, Donald Trump, who\u2019s revived an economy, and African-Americans unemployment is at an all-time low.<\/p>\n<p>Ditto Hispanic unemployment, and those are just two statistics.\u00a0 The economy in general.\u00a0 But what it really is that has the people that Phil here is talking about in a tight wad is &#8220;Make America Great Again.&#8221;\u00a0 &#8220;Make America Great Again,&#8221; to them, is nationalism.\u00a0 It is the destruction of the existing globalist order in which the United States is one of but many &#8212; albeit powerful, one of many &#8212; nations.\u00a0 Make America Great Again is a throwback to a preexisting order where the United States was the dominate leader of the world for good &#8212; for good reasons, decent reasons, wholesome reasons.<\/p>\n<p>And it is a threat.\u00a0 Trump is a threat to blow up this existing order where all of these people have their network, their paths planned, their children\u2019s places in life guaranteed and planned.\u00a0 It\u2019s morphed into personal dislike and hatred for Trump\u2019s personality on top of all that.\u00a0 So you\u2019ve got a bunch of people like McCain and Romney in the United States Senate who, in private, probably are Republicans would not vote to support Trump.\u00a0 But that\u2019s why the vote is not private, not taken in secret.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I had hoped to get to these Jared Kushner bites in this hour, but I didn\u2019t.\u00a0 So we\u2019ll lead off the next hour.\u00a0 He spoke to the TIME 100 Summit today, which in and of itself is no big deal.\u00a0 It\u2019s a washed out, overwrought event.\u00a0 I mean, it\u2019s TIME magazine.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a reason for these powerful people that we\u2019re talking about to get together and tell each other how much they matter.\u00a0 But it\u2019s what he said to them that has \u2019em all ticked off.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Baton Rouge, Louisiana.\u00a0 This is Kerry, and great to have you, sir.\u00a0 Glad you waited.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Yeah, good morning, Rush.\u00a0 I was thinking about the point that the previous caller had mentioned on your scenario about the media playing this different. Because he was saying that the ratings for CNN and MSNBC and people like that are so low that it\u2019s not gonna make that much of a difference. But I think that he\u2019s overlooking the Big Three.\u00a0 I mean, what is your opinion? Don\u2019t you think that the Big Three like CBS, NBC, ABC, that their ratings are still significant enough to effectively still keep this in the limelight and beat up on President Trump enough?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Well, this is the thing.\u00a0 Let me reset the table so people understand what you\u2019re commenting on.\u00a0 In the first hour, I did a little riff on how people think the impeachment of Trump is gonna lead to more Trump popularity \u2019cause that\u2019s what happened to Clinton.\u00a0 I pointed out the big difference is that the media supported Clinton, defended Clinton, and didn\u2019t even tell the country what Clinton was really being impeached about.<\/p>\n<p>They lied and said he was being impeached for sex, when in fact he had been impeached for suborning perjury, committing perjury, and witness tampering.\u00a0 But the media covered all that up, and they promoted it.\u00a0 I said, &#8220;In a Trump impeachment scenario, they\u2019re gonna be adding to the fire.\u00a0 They\u2019re gonna be condemning Trump. They\u2019re gonna be helping the Democrats. They\u2019re gonna be telling people that Trump is guilty of this stuff, that he deserves to be impeached.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-239381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DriveByMedia-GENERIC-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DriveByMedia-GENERIC-1.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DriveByMedia-GENERIC-1-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>There won\u2019t be any defense of Trump whatsoever, and that\u2019s when the guy called and said, &#8220;Let it happen.\u00a0 They have lost their influence.\u00a0 They can\u2019t affect a majority of public opinion anymore,&#8221; and he did cite for me CNN and PMSNBC.\u00a0 Now, your question about the Drive-Bys on the networks. Their audiences are nowhere near what they used to be back in their monopoly days, but they still&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You know, I think combined they reach as many 12 to 15 people a night with their nightly newscasts and so forth, which is not insignificant.\u00a0 The demograhpics for the nightly news happen to be made up of people demographically who tend to vote every election.\u00a0 These are people that are 55-plus.\u00a0 That\u2019s the primary&#8230; You can tell who watches the evening news by looking at the products that are advertised, like Preparation H and toenail fungus stuff.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you can.\u00a0 Advertisers know who\u2019s watching.\u00a0 But those people tend to vote with much more regularity than do, say, Millennials.\u00a0 So you\u2019re basically saying that you don\u2019t think the media can be written off as a relic here.\u00a0 You think they still have significant influence with a number of people that present a problem?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 Of course, it\u2019s not just the news.\u00a0 I mean, of course you got the news, you know, like the Big Three, the news networks, whatever.\u00a0 It\u2019s the entire media. We\u2019re talking about all the talk shows, the supposed late-night comedy talk shows, the daytime shows. All of that is so massively anti-Trump.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Well, so is primetime entertainment TV.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 And so are many &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 It\u2019s still an uphill battle no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 I agree.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 In other words, the whole media has gone over to that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Let me tell you: How else&#8230;? How else do you explain, ladies and gentlemen, a poll where &#8212; and this was last year &#8212; 42% of the American people believe the Russians tampered with votes, voting machines? Because of this story of Trump-Russia collusion.\u00a0 That\u2019s the impression that was given: Russian collusion with Trump in the election. How do you affect an election?\u00a0 Tamper with the votes.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what people &#8212; 42% of the American people in this poll &#8212; said they think happened.\u00a0 That, to me, says the media still carries a lot of weight.\u00a0 I think it\u2019d be a mistake to say that they don\u2019t.\u00a0 Now, in your universe, where you live, maybe you and your friends don\u2019t watch \u2019em anymore (and a lot of people don\u2019t) and you don\u2019t trust \u2019em even if you do watch \u2019em and so forth.\u00a0 But there are still a lot of people in this country to whom the mainstream media is the bible.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Mark in Galveston, Texas, great to have you, sir.\u00a0 Glad you waited.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Thank you, sir.\u00a0 I appreciate the opportunity.\u00a0 Lone Star dittos from the great state.\u00a0 I have a quick analogy for this whole Mueller episode, because you\u2019re right; it has not been an investigation. But what it has been is a three-year-long hand of poker. Okay? Trump is sitting with his hand and the media and the Democrats are sitting with their hand, and they both know who has the winning hand.\u00a0 They both know that Trump has the cards; he didn\u2019t do anything they\u2019re accusing him of.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/App-013019-Trump-State-of-the-Union-cheers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/App-013019-Trump-State-of-the-Union-cheers.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/App-013019-Trump-State-of-the-Union-cheers-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>So what they keep trying to do is they keep trying to block him, because if you have a losing hand in poker, you can still win if you get your opponent to fold.\u00a0 The fact that he has not folded, he\u2019s not taken the bluff&#8230; Every single time they try to bluff him into something, he hits \u2019em right back in the nose with a tweet, and the fact that he stood up like that is one of the three big reasons that he was elected, \u2019cause he will stand up to these people and he\u2019s not gonna get bluffed and he\u2019s not gonna fold.\u00a0 And that\u2019s the president that I voted for.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Boy, that analogy is just excellent.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It is.\u00a0 In just in the strictest terms of what happened and how the, quote-unquote, &#8220;game&#8221; was being played, you\u2019re right on the money.\u00a0 My only &#8212; and I\u2019m not nitpicking you here, and I\u2019m not trying to take away from the literal brilliance of your analogy. But to me, this is always, always gonna be one of the most serious challenges to the existence of our country as we know it that we have ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>The way it played out was like a game of poker.\u00a0 But this was an attempt to force a duly elected president out of office by people who were never elected to anything, who were ignoring the Constitution, who were breaking the law and who need to go to jail.\u00a0 People that play poker and lose do not go to jail, and they don\u2019t threaten the existence of the country.\u00a0 This was a serious &#8212; If this had succeeded&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Meaning, if the Mueller report had concluded that the duly elected president was in fact and is a traitor, and was a Russian agent, and did steal the election and that Hillary Clinton should be president?\u00a0 If that\u2019s what this report had said, it would have destroyed this country.\u00a0 That\u2019s how close, I think, we came.\u00a0 Because of your description of Trump being accurate, it didn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t fold.\u00a0 You\u2019re exactly right.\u00a0 That was the gambit.\u00a0 But for us to even get in this game, these people that start this game were one of the greatest challenges that our country has faced in putting it down and swapping it away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I think there are some stark differences between the impeachment of Clinton and how it was handled and what this would be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":306872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
