What do you know, the Drive-By Media, the Democrat Party are starting to wake up. I don\u2019t think they can become fully woke, but they\u2019re starting to wake up to reality. That the Mueller report was a bomb, the Mueller report was a dud, and that they are not prepared to deal with Trump on any issue of substance. They put every weapon they have in that Mueller report, in Trump-Russia collusion, and they are slowly awakening to the fact that it has bombed out on them. You can see it in the headlines all over the place. Let me just share with you some of the headlines. You can even see it in the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner on Saturday night that nobody watched because Trump wasn\u2019t there. Trump went out to a rally in Wisconsin. Wait \u2019til you hear the journalist that won the award of the night, the prize winner. The Merriman Smith Memorial Award went to some guy at the Washington Post.

Some Democrats wonder if it\u2019s worth the risk.<\/a>\u201d Holy smokes! What a headline. Is it worth the risk to nominate a woman just to nominate a woman? This sounds like what they did with Mondull in 1984. You know, they gave Mondull the Democrat nomination against Reagan running for his second term \u2019cause they knew it was gonna be a slaughter. And they knew it was gonna be a disaster. And so they rewarded an old war horse, Walter F. Mondull with the distinct honor of being a Democrat presidential nominee knowing he was gonna get shellacked, but it got him out of the way, paving the way for Democrats they thought could win later on. That\u2019s what this headline sounds like. \u201cCan a woman beat Trump? Some Democrats wonder if it\u2019s worth the risk.\u201d Meaning, do we nominate a woman just to say we nominated a woman? Do we nominate a woman just to say that? What if we go down to defeat? Is it worth it? \u201cThree influential activists have launched an organization to mobilize women in U.S. politics.\u201d Wait a minute. Mobilize women? I thought women had been mobilized ever since the soccer mom days. I thought women determined who won elections. I thought woman determined who won the presidency. What do you mean, mobilize women?

The next&#8230; They\u2019ve seen the explosion.&nbsp; They haven\u2019t given up on this yet.&nbsp; It\u2019s that they are starting to realize it\u2019s a total bomb, and there are various elements within the Drive-By Media telling other people on the left, &#8220;Hey, there\u2019s nothing there, and we\u2019ve got a lot of soul-searchin\u2019 to do.&nbsp; We had two years of falsehoods and lies and things that never came true and apparently weren\u2019t even close to being true.&nbsp; We\u2019ve got problem.&#8221;&nbsp; Others are still in a state of denial.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the next thing to happen is they want to talk to Barr, the attorney general.&nbsp; They honestly &#8212; some of them and members of Congress &#8212; still believe that Barr is hiding and shielding from them evidence in the report of collusion. They want to bring Barr up and have him testify. They\u2019re gonna subpoena the attorney general.&nbsp; They want to know what\u2019s been redacted because they are convinced that there\u2019s a cover-up.&nbsp; They are convinced that Trump colluded with Russia or obstructed and that Barr is covering for him.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-305762\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-041119-Barr-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-041119-Barr-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-041119-Barr-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So the argument now is that Barr has agreed to go, but only if it\u2019s just members of Congress asking the questions.&nbsp; If they\u2019re gonna have their staff lawyers ask the questions, he\u2019s not gonna go.&nbsp; So we\u2019re gonna have a standoff here, executive branch versus legislative branch, with Trump openly saying, &#8220;I\u2019m not sending my people up it there to be persecuted.&nbsp; I\u2019m not doing it.&nbsp; This is done with.&nbsp; It\u2019s over with.&nbsp; Let\u2019s move on.&#8221;&nbsp; The Democrats don\u2019t want to move on.<\/p>\n<p>But some of them are starting to realize that they\u2019re gonna have to.&nbsp; I don\u2019t think they can give up. You ask, &#8220;What\u2019s gonna be the next thing they try to use to get Trump?&#8221;&nbsp; They\u2019ll never abandon their belief that Trump is a scoundrel, that he\u2019s unfit for public office because he\u2019s just human debris. So they\u2019re never gonna give that up.&nbsp; That\u2019ll continue to be one of their many items of objection to Trump, with all the itinerant insults:<\/p>\n<p>Racist, bigot, misogynist, sexist, homophobe, all these things. They really, at this stage&#8230; As the Politico story points out, they\u2019re beginning in certain circles now to get a little panicky because of the economy.&nbsp; That 3.2% growth rate last week and the fact that there\u2019s no inflation has just sent a lot of them reeling.&nbsp; But they can\u2019t.&nbsp; They are physically, they\u2019re constitutionally incapable of giving up on the notion that Trump simply is unqualified and disqualified because he\u2019s human debris.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Let\u2019s get in some of the details.&nbsp; I mentioned at the top of the busy broadcast, ladies and gentlemen, that the Democrats are starting to get nervous.&nbsp; Some of them are just now awakening to the idea that the Mueller Report didn\u2019t make any difference.&nbsp; They\u2019re just awakening to the idea that this whole Russian deal has bombed out and that there\u2019s nothing&#8230; By the way, there\u2019s one other thing to add to this.&nbsp; There is a Morning Consult poll that came out on Friday.&nbsp; Only 37% of the American people think impeachment should even be considered, and an even smaller number than that believe it should be acted on.<\/p>\n<p>Now, impeachment is a political and not legal enterprise.&nbsp; If you don\u2019t have well over 50% of the American people saying they disapprove of the president\u2019s job &#8212; or, in a poll like this, if you have 37% who think impeachment might be worthwhile &#8212; that\u2019s not nearly enough to follow through on it.&nbsp; You can\u2019t do it, and that\u2019s the whole point of this exercise. When you get right down to brass tracks, the two primary things that this, quote-unquote, &#8220;investigation&#8221; was about were these. The first thing: Hillary Clinton had to be exonerated from the email and server and Clinton Foundation scandals.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s the Democrat Party nominee.&nbsp; They had to officially &#8212; I mean, at the highest levels of American law enforcement &#8212; exonerate her, and that\u2019s what Comey\u2019s July 5th press conference did and his October 28th press conference again, the reexamination of Carlos Danger\u2019s laptop for Hillary emails.&nbsp; So twice they exonerated Hillary to clear the decks for her.&nbsp; Now, I\u2019m a firm believer that this investigation of Trump and the Steele dossier had a two-pronged purpose.&nbsp; One was to cover up everything they had done to exonerate Hillary, which is a big thing.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing, of course, was to drive Trump\u2019s approval numbers down to the twenties.&nbsp; That\u2019s how you get rid of Trump.&nbsp; That\u2019s how you force Trump to resign or that\u2019s how, if the Democrats win the House in 2018 (which they did) you impeach him.&nbsp; But with Trump\u2019s approval numbers at 45 to 48 to 50, depending on the poll &#8212; and now this Morning Consult poll is only 37% would even consider impeachment &#8212; it\u2019s off the table, folks, as a matter of reality.&nbsp; That doesn\u2019t mean the Democrats are gonna stop talking about it, but it\u2019s off the table.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-303775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-032519-Russia-Hoax.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-032519-Russia-Hoax.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-032519-Russia-Hoax-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So it is hard to express how ontologically sure they were, how filled with certitude they were 2-1\/2 years ago that they were going to be able to get rid of Trump with this phony collusion story.&nbsp; They believed it. Their media risked their reputations reporting it.&nbsp; They have humiliated and embarrassed themselves.&nbsp; They don\u2019t know it yet, except in a few sectors of the Drive-By Media, which are now trying to warn everybody else in the media to get the act together \u2019cause this has bombed out and it\u2019s an embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s all part of the slow dawning that they have a problem now.&nbsp; They thought they were gonna get rid of Trump before the 2020 election, so they really haven\u2019t been dealing with the actual task of defeating Trump in an election.&nbsp; And I\u2019m not exaggerating here.&nbsp; There is no party platform per se.&nbsp; You\u2019ve got these 18 people running for president who are trying to out leftist each other, see who can be the biggest and best socialist and so forth. But there isn\u2019t a premise for why the country needs the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>It has been &#8220;Donald Trump is a reprobate, Donald Trump\u2019s a skunk, Donald Trump is human debris; therefore, us,&#8221; and they realize that\u2019s bombed out on them.&nbsp; And I want to go through some of these stories and show you how and why I am realizing this.&nbsp; The first story here, this is from The Atlantic: &#8220;The Clintons are Nervous About 2020 &#8212; At a gathering in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, Bill Clinton said it is time to fight a battle with &#8216;our oldest demons.\u2019&nbsp; The Clintons are on edge about 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like pretty much every other Democrat in America, Bill and Hillary are nervous that their party\u2019s primary field is too large, that it\u2019s going to be dominated by the wrong kind of debate, that the candidates will succumb to their worst instincts, and that President Donald Trump will out-bully them anyway,&#8221; meaning, they\u2019re gonna be bullies, but Trump\u2019s a bigger bully, so they\u2019ve have a chance to &#8220;out-bully&#8221; Trump.&nbsp; &#8220;While Trump was holding a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Saturday night,&#8221; and, by the way, if you didn\u2019t see the Trump rally on Saturday, we\u2019ve got some audio of it.<\/p>\n<p>He was on fire.&nbsp; El Trumpo en fuego.&nbsp; &#8220;[T]he once and would-be presidents,&#8221; that would be the Clintons, &#8220;spent the evening onstage, in the latest stop of the traveling show they\u2019ve been doing all around the country for a combination of cash and adulation.&#8221;&nbsp; This is the Bill and Hillary tour that they\u2019re practically giving away tickets to because there isn\u2019t any interest. These are the Clintons. They\u2019re watching Trump\u2019s rallies, they\u2019re seeing all these crowds of thousands and thousands, and they want some of that, and they want everybody to see that they can draw crowds like that.<\/p>\n<p>Except they can\u2019t.&nbsp; The Clintons, &#8220;the once and future presidents&#8221; are, in political terms, are has-beens.&nbsp; In fact, this guy says, you know, there\u2019s &#8220;a bit of a farewell&#8221; attitude about this.&nbsp; He\u2019s watching the Clintons on stage and he says, &#8220;There\u2019s a bit of a farewell-concert-tour feeling to the event \u2014 Hillary, tell the story of the Osama bin Laden raid one more time!

These are the stories that they tell.&nbsp; They recycle ancient history.&nbsp; &#8220;Bill Clinton&#8230;&#8221; Listen to this pull quote: &#8220;Bill Clinton said 2016 was &#8216;a manure-spreading election,\u2019 but added [impression], &#8216;We\u2019re not going to have that this time.'&#8221;&nbsp; Manure-spreading election?&nbsp; Is he talking fertilizer or something else?&nbsp; And then Bill Clinton said that &#8220;he worried that if Trump can get away with asking Russia to hack emails, China might be looking to get in the game this time, and a 2020 candidate could decide to ask for another foreign attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is how absurd it got, folks.&nbsp; Trump tells this joke. &#8220;Hey, Russia, our media\u2019s desperate to find these missing Hillary emails. Maybe you can find \u2019em. If you find \u2019em, could you tell our media? They\u2019re really eager to see \u2019em.&#8221;&nbsp; That became, &#8220;Trump asked Russia to hack Hillary\u2019s emails.&#8221;&nbsp; Hillary\u2019s emails were not hacked.&nbsp; She deleted them! She deleted 30,000 of them and turned the other 30,000 over. There\u2019s a total of 60,000 emails on that illegal server.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nothing was hacked.&nbsp; Trump wasn\u2019t asking the Russians to hack anybody, but that\u2019s what they\u2019re living off of now.<\/p>\n<p>Now Bill Clinton\u2019s worried the ChiComs will be next, that they want to get in on this game.&nbsp; They\u2019re just&#8230; They are pass\u00e9, and it\u2019s pathetic.&nbsp; Now, here\u2019s the next one.&nbsp; This is from The Nation, which is a socialist\/Marxist publication in the United States.&nbsp; The writer here, Aaron Mat\u00e9, says that the media had better get with it and fast.&nbsp; &#8220;The Mueller report does not just dispel the conspiracy theories that have engulfed political and media circles for two years; it puts to rest the most popular, recent one: that Attorney General William Barr engaged in a cover-up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to the dominant narrative&#8221; of people on the left, &#8220;Barr was somehow concealing Mueller\u2019s damning evidence, while Mueller, even more improbably, stayed silent,&#8221; and didn\u2019t object.&nbsp; &#8220;One could argue that Barr\u2019s summary downplays the obstruction findings, though it accurately relays that Mueller\u2019s report does &#8216;not exonerate\u2019 Trump. It was Mueller\u2019s decision to leave the verdict on obstruction to Barr&#8230;&nbsp; In the end, Mueller\u2019s report shows that the Trump-Russia collusion narrative embraced and evangelized by the U.S. political and media establishments to be a work of fiction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The American public was presented with a far different picture from what was expected, because leading pundits, outlets, and politicians ignored the countervailing facts and promoted&#8221; basically a bunch of lies for two years.&nbsp; This guy is a leftist journalist warning these other people that participated in this that their time is up.&nbsp; &#8220;Anonymous officials,&#8221; he writes, &#8220;also leaked explosive yet uncorroborated claims, leaving behind many stories that were subsequently discredited, retracted, or remain unconfirmed to this day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He says, &#8220;It is too early to assess the damage that influential Russiagate promoters have done to their own reputations; to public confidence in our democratic system and media; and to the prospects of defeating Trump, who always stood to benefit if the all-consuming conspiracy theory ultimately collapsed. The scale of the wreckage, confirmed by Mueller\u2019s report, may prove to be the ultimate Russiagate scandal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s somebody on the left that\u2019s finally getting it and warning everybody on the left that they are about to be exposed. The ultimate Russiagate scandal is the investigation! The ultimate Russiagate scandal is Hillary Clinton and Steele and the dossier and all of these willing accomplice doofuses in the media that knowingly spread for two years total demonstrable lies.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly but surely, folks, they are starting to awaken. For some of them it\u2019s gonna be a long time before they can give up the ghost. Like I said, Bill Maher called Pencil Neck a Trump stalker and told him to give it up. There\u2019s nothing in the Mueller report. You say you\u2019ve got evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, but nobody\u2019s heard it and you can\u2019t produce it. This was after he was greeted warmly with a standing ovation from the Maher audience.<\/p>\n<p>People said, \u201cMy God, Maher was really tough on this poor guy.\u201d Well, the poor guy has been lying to everybody. People like Pencil Neck, people like all the other Democrats in Congress, people like the media had their left-wing base totally set up for Trump being convicted of being a traitor and then after two years a big, splat nothing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-302131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031219-Never-Trump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031219-Never-Trump.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-031219-Never-Trump-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the Chicago Tribune: \u201cRemember the #NeverTrump movement? It collapsed. \u2013 With the overhyped but underwhelming conclusion of the Mueller investigation, whatever dreams NeverTrumpers within the GOP had of removing the president from office have vanished. Their last flicker of hope lies in mounting a Republican primary challenge in 2020 \u2014 a strategy doomed to fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe #NeverTrump movement is not dead, but it is on life support with no possibility of returning to the vitality it displayed in 2016. Were it not for the news media\u2019s eagerness to amplify the voices of those who hate the president, the movement would have long since been relegated to the more obscure corners of the internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeverTrumpism still exists only because the left finds it useful to add a sprinkling of \u2018conservative\u2019 anti-Trump vitriol to its progressive anti-Trump vitriol. At this point, it is becoming difficult to distinguish the NeverTrumpers who claim to be on the right from the anti-Trumpers on the left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it names names such as Max Boot, Senator McCain, Senator Flake, Senator Corker, Senator Ben Sasse, and all the conservative intellectual magazine people. And this is exactly right. They were never anything without the left-wing media propping them up.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Barron\u2019s magazine talks to a bunch of big time money managers frequently. They survey them, and they ask them political questions as well, and the latest big money poll they call it &#8212; Barron\u2019s is in the Wall Street Journal universe \u2013 \u201cTrump Will Win in 2020, Money Managers Say in Exclusive Poll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the highlights of this poll are that it\u2019s not even close. Trump is rated higher in performance than either the House or the Senate. The money managers say that Joe Biden will be the Democrat nominee by a total of 56%. And the presidency, according to these money managers, Trump 67%, the Democrat candidate 28%. So these money managers &#8212; and these are all Democrats, by the way. Well, I shouldn\u2019t say all, but let\u2019s face it, the vast majority of Wall Street money goes to Democrats. The vast majority donations.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, they play both sides. They have to cover themselves on both sides. But the vast majority goes to Democrats, particularly in presidential, because these guys are great crony socialist capitalists. I mean, if the government can help them with their competitors, ha! They\u2019ll do that as opposed to compete in the free market. It\u2019s one of the great problems we have in corporate America, in my opinion. More on that at another time.<\/p>\n<p>But these guys who largely donate to Democrats in the Barron\u2019s poll think Trump is gonna beat whoever the Democrat nominee is by 67 to 28%. They also say what is the most urgent economic priority for the Congress to address? It is reform of entitlements by 29%, reduction of federal spending 18%, infrastructure 17, immigration is in fourth place, in these guys\u2019 minds at 14%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I don&#039;t think they can become fully woke, but they&#039;re starting to wake up to reality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":307575,"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 -
