When you\u2019re doing a remote, you can\u2019t. So I don\u2019t see facial expressions. So I might misinterpret. But I think in one of my answers to his question about how to deal with ongoing criticism or how does Trump deal with it or how does Trump break through all this noise, I got the impression that he didn\u2019t think that I was &#8212; and correct me if I\u2019m wrong.<\/p>\n<p>But I got the impression he didn\u2019t think that I was taking it or treating it as seriously as it is, meaning the opposition, how hard it\u2019s going to be to win reelection. That was when he was talking about, &#8220;Hey, Rush, for Republicans to win they\u2019ve gotta thread the needle. Everything\u2019s gotta be just right.&#8221; What reminded me of this today is that the emails today say, &#8220;Rush, you really do make it sound like this is gonna be a cakewalk over the Democrat.&#8221; Folks, I\u2019ll just tell you: If the election were today, it would be. But I understand.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-263903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-011618-Anchorman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-011618-Anchorman.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-011618-Anchorman-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>The thing that interests me about this is the perception that I have versus the perception others have and why the difference in perceptions. Like clearly last night Hannity &#8212; and again, none of this is a criticism. To me, this is all fascinating stuff that spawns creative thinking and conversations. But I got the impression that when we were talking about the differences in getting an audience for a show like this and getting votes. We were talking about how the Republicans don\u2019t push back, how Trump does; the Republicans seem afraid of the media.<\/p>\n<p>I made the point to him that getting votes and getting audience were different things, and he and I can survive being hated. We can even thrive being hated, but somebody who gets votes can\u2019t. People that hate you are not gonna vote for you. When I said the thing about us being hated, he said, &#8220;There\u2019s more of it than you know, Rush.&#8221; So he\u2019s cognizant of it and I\u2019m not, even though I know it\u2019s there. Here. Play sound bite 21. It\u2019s a couple of minutes, and there\u2019s more in here than is gonna contribute to the point that I\u2019m gonna try to make when this is over. But this is the sound bite of the portion of the show I was talking about.<\/p>\n<p>He said to me, &#8220;I actually see similarities between you and Trump. Let me tell you what two of them are. Number one, you gotta be able to take a punch. You paved the way for a lot of us that are conservatives in the media. You\u2019ve taken more than your fair share&#8221; of criticism, abuse, lying, slander, libel, that stuff is what he meant. In the midst of taking all of that, &#8220;then you gotta fight for what you believe. My biggest criticism of Republicans is they are weak, a lot of them, and timid and afraid to do what you do every day, to do what Trump is doing &#8212; you\u2019re right &#8212; showing them the way. Just fight for what you say you\u2019re gonna fight for,&#8221; and this is how I answered it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>BEGIN ARCHIVE CLIP<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look, there are two different things going on. I don\u2019t have to get votes. You and I can succeed with people hating us, or disliking us.<\/p>\n<p>HANNITY: There\u2019s a lot of them, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) But people who need to win elections, people that don\u2019t like you don\u2019t vote for you. So I understand their reticence a bit. But I think that can be overcome with attitude, it can be overcome with confidence. This fear of the media, this fear of being called a racist, everybody needs to get over that now because all of us are racists. Everybody\u2019s racist. They can\u2019t talk about anybody now without labeling them racist<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-317826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RUSHHANNITY4-e1564711254920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This thing that Trump did about Baltimore, it\u2019s about time this stuff is called out. Where the Democrats run cities or towns or states with one-party rule, those places are suffering greatly. The people there are suffering drug addiction, they\u2019re suffering drug infestation, and they\u2019re suffering filth. And nobody ever calls \u2019em out on it because you can\u2019t, because the Democrats supposedly are the ones with compassion so you can\u2019t criticize \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>The heck with that. They deserve to be criticized. They deserve to be called out. It was Cummings himself 20 years ago \u2014 everybody\u2019s seen the video now \u2014 who referred to his own city as drug-infested, and nobody said it was racist back then. Trump is really showing a lot of people how to take these people on. You know, we\u2019ve got this Never Trumper problem that I think is kind of like a fly on an elephant\u2019s ass, but people make it out to be bigger than it is because these were supposedly the intellectual leaders of our party.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve been rendered irrelevant. They know it. That\u2019s why they\u2019re ticked off. They\u2019re probably gonna vote Democrat if they have a chance simply because, you know, how are they gonna sell cruises now to tell people what to think about conservatism?<\/p>\n<p>HANNITY: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: For 20 years they thought they were the intellectual leaders of conservatism. They never got much done.<\/p>\n<p>END ARCHIVED CLIP<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. There\u2019s a lot there and the Never Trumpers were an add on that\u2019s not relevant to my point. My point is, you heard Sean say, &#8220;There\u2019s a lot of \u2019em out there, Rush,&#8221; meaning people who hate us. My take is that he encounters them. You know, he does a lot of remotes for Fox. He goes out on the road. He does Twitter. So he encounters the hate. It\u2019s probably part of his daily existence. I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t go anywhere the hate is. I don\u2019t subject myself to it. I\u2019m not saying he does.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m saying he may not be able to avoid it &#8212; and if you do Twitter? (chuckles) if you\u2019re a conservative and you do Twitter and you check your feed every day, you had better have boundaries on that are five-inch metal thick. I have no interest in reading what the Twitterverse thinks of me. A, I already know. B, I know it\u2019s a bunch of bots. C, I know it\u2019s a bunch of lunatics that have nothing better to do, who don\u2019t even the guts to use their real names. The point is, I don\u2019t subject myself to that.<\/p>\n<p>So I get these emails, &#8220;Rush, I don\u2019t think you realize how serious it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I look at this and think, &#8220;How can anybody think that I don\u2019t realize how serious it is?&#8221; I think what you\u2019re hearing here is I\u2019m not afraid of \u2019em! Do you know what, folks? Can I tell you and be honest? I might have an even bigger audience if every day I came here and told you that if this election doesn\u2019t go our way, this country\u2019s finished. I could be like these people in Wall Street who sell their stock market newsletters. Do you know how they goose subscriptions?<\/p>\n<p>They predict a crash next week, because negativism and crisis sells.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-293075\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-110918-Facebook-Social-Media-Sad-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-110918-Facebook-Social-Media-Sad-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-110918-Facebook-Social-Media-Sad-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>If the market\u2019s gonna crash next week but this guy sending you the newsletter can tell you how to avoid it (which is what his pitch will be), then you\u2019ll sign up for his newsletter. I can\u2019t. It\u2019s not in my makeup to be fatalistic. But a lot of people are, and I\u2019m very impatient with it either on a personal level or when I encounter it. When I see fatalist on TV, I turn it off. Not interested. Fatalists are not gonna take us anywhere. People that think it\u2019s over that there\u2019s no coming back, there\u2019s no winning, that there\u2019s no recovery? I\u2019m not interested in them. I don\u2019t want to sound that way here, ever.<\/p>\n<p>Unless I really think it, and I don\u2019t. If I really thought the country was finished, folks, I would have told you and I\u2019d have been long gone, figuring there was nothing left to the about it. But that\u2019s by no means the case. So even though I\u2019m aware of how much I\u2019m detested and how much I\u2019m hated, I don\u2019t put any stock in it because to me it\u2019s part of the territory.<\/p>\n<p>But, B, look who the haters are. They\u2019re nutcases. Most of them have never accomplished anything in their lives, and the professional haters in the media is a calculated business decision. But I just made a &#8212; I don\u2019t even think it\u2019s an active choice to avoid it. It\u2019s just me. But I don\u2019t want anybody to think I don\u2019t get the gravity of this.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m pointing out the joke the Democrat Party has become, I\u2019m fully aware that 30% of the country is applauding \u2019em. You should know that. I\u2019ve been the one sounding the warning bell here on these people for 30 years. I was the one 25 years ago warning everybody where we were headed when people back then were laughing. &#8220;Come on, Rush. Nobody\u2019s ever gonna believe this spotted oil stuff. Nobody\u2019s gonna believe they really want to get rid of toilet paper. Come on, Rush. Nobody\u2019s ever gonna really think we\u2019re gonna get rid of oil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And now look at where we are. I was trying to warn people 25 years ago. I was doing with humor, we did updates trying to make fun of these people with parody songs and so forth, every which way I could think of. Now it has arrived, and the people I was trying to warn are deathly afraid and aware of it now and thinking I\u2019m not taking it seriously enough.<\/p>\n<p>And I just want to reiterate to you that I take it as seriously as you do, meaning this opposition, meaning the left and their designs to the country. But I\u2019m not fatalistic about them winning. It\u2019s just not in my makeup to be. Now, if it would make you more comfortable to hear me sound more worried about it, I don\u2019t know that I can help you. I don\u2019t want to be worried about it if it isn\u2019t true. If I don\u2019t think it\u2019s true I don\u2019t want to have to sit here and manufacture phony concern just to relate to people who think that way themselves.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m completely aware probably as much as anybody, if not more so, of the dire threat these people pose and spend maybe more time than I should each and every day warning people about it and then providing evidence. Which is what this whole week has been, evidence of the lunatics, evidence of the insanity. The more people that are aware of it, the more people that are gonna tune it out. I still have faith that what you\u2019ve seen, if you\u2019ve even watched it, these two nights of debates, I still have faith that nowhere near a majority of voting Americans believes it and signs on to it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I know the Democrats are trying to flood the country with illegals and get \u2019em registered to vote. I know all that. But they are not guaranteed success. They are not unbeatable. They are not monolithically unstoppable. They are shooting themselves in the foot right now. They are in the middle of a circular firing squad because they have so misjudged the people of this country. They have made absolute fools of themselves on this Trump-Russia collusion stuff.<\/p>\n<p>But not enough Americans know that yet. But that\u2019s going to happen. I have full confidence that in the 18 months between now and the election all kinds of revelations are gonna happen. The timing is gonna be purposefully arranged so as to have the most impact during the presidential election campaign. And believe me, you don\u2019t want to waste this stuff now when the Democrats are in the process of beating themselves up. You know, save it for when they\u2019ve got a nominee, save it for when they\u2019ve got somebody who\u2019s gonna be &#8212; I think they\u2019re gonna nominate, I didn\u2019t get to say this last night, but I think Biden is the equivalent of Mondull in \u201984, or maybe the equivalent of Bob Dole in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats threw Mondull up there. He\u2019d been a war horse. He\u2019d been a royal Democrat. Reagan was not gonna lose, so Mondale get it on his resume. Let him run for president. Let him raise the money. Let him have this legacy as a Democrat presidential nominee. But he wasn\u2019t gonna win anything. And Dole was not gonna win in \u201996 versus Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>At some point somebody in this party is gonna realize throw somebody up there who, when they lose, does not take the party with them. And if they don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna lose and nominate somebody as radically extreme as anybody on that stage has been, all the better.<\/p>\n<p>I look at this as a glorious day when the American people reject whoever it is these Democrats are gonna nominate. And I\u2019m just gonna tell you right now, this is today, and anything can change next hour, next day, next week. There\u2019s not a one of these people that can hold their own on a stage with Donald Trump, particularly not with the baggage they\u2019re gonna be bringing to it.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re gonna show up to a debate, whoever this nominee is, they\u2019re gonna show up with the attitude they\u2019re smarter, they\u2019re better, that Trump is a reprobate, that he\u2019s a scalawag, that he\u2019s a skunk, that he\u2019s an ogre, that he doesn\u2019t deserve to be there, and they\u2019re gonna go overboard in the debates talking about how unqualified as a human being Trump is. They\u2019re not gonna be able to attack any of the issues because they can\u2019t compete on the issues.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-300757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Come-On.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Come-On.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Come-On-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I just don\u2019t want anybody to misunderstand. I\u2019m not taking anything for granted. I\u2019m not unaware of how desperate the times are with this party as radical as it is. I just don\u2019t expose myself to all of the hatred and misery. I do enough of that in show prep. I\u2019m aware of it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me say one more thing about this. As long as we\u2019re talking about things that concern us. I have no concern. I just want to be open and up front about this. I got no concern over whatever the hell the Russians did or whatever the hell the Russians are gonna do or whatever the hell the Russians want to do. You know who worries me? Google, Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, as we speak, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, the Google guys, are having a climate change forum over at some resort in Italy, 114 private jets, a bunch of gigantic mega yachts for getting a bunch of actors and politicians &#8212; Where do you think Cummings and Pelosi are? They\u2019re at this thing!<\/p>\n<p>All kinds of activist Democrats, actors, talking about climate change. These people are, in their own method of getting there, contradicting everything they claim to believe. Meaning they\u2019re not getting together about climate change. Saying they\u2019re getting together about climate change is simply a way to disalarm a bunch of young people and others.<\/p>\n<p>Google and Facebook have the ability, with the reach they have, to manipulate what people think and do in ways we have never had to contend with before. The kind of power that is possible to exercise with Google and Facebook dwarfs any other kind of political power you think may exist. And I don\u2019t know what people can do to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>Look at our Betsy Ross T-shirt just, just for example &#8212; and this is a minor example &#8212; there are 250 knock jobs. One of the reasons they survive is that you go looking for Stand Up for Betsy Ross in a Google search and you\u2019re gonna get sent to a bunch of knockoffs rather than my website, which is the only place the authentic T-shirt and charitable donation is made. And that\u2019s just a minor example.<\/p>\n<p>So those are the things, plus illegal immigration, those are the things that concern me far more than, you know, whatever radical Democrat Party happens to be assembling out there because Google is gonna be promoting whatever the Democrat Party puts up. Now, the Democrat Party base right now is as radical left as there has ever been in this country. And so if they nominate a guy like Biden, Biden\u2019s not gonna satisfy the Democrat base.<\/p>\n<p>See, if Biden is the nominee, I\u2019m gonna tell you, I think the Democrats know they\u2019re gonna lose. And that means they will want a moderate, old Democrat to lose to illustrate that that\u2019s not how to win and that they\u2019ve gotta go full-fledged, full on radical left if they want to win back the White House.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s gonna be Google and Facebook doing whatever manipulation, and people are gonna be manipulated and not even aware that it\u2019s happening simply by the virtue of how they interact with those services and social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So I get these emails, &quot;Rush, I don&#039;t think you realize how serious it is.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":269103,"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 -
