that we now have built our success on the backs of slaves dating all the way back to 1600s<\/a>. Some people just haven\u2019t been able to deal with it. Of course, the European nations all think that they are our allies but they are Podunk compared to us, militarily and economically. They\u2019re allies in the sense that they\u2019re democracies. But many of them have become functioning socialist democracies and they\u2019re in the process of destroying themselves with their own immigration policy. But they were our allies, they\u2019re our friends.<\/p>\nSo as to not laud it over them, we had people on our side who allowed our pockets to be picked now and then. It became almost required that we accept the short end of every economic relationship that we had just to show the world that we didn\u2019t intend anybody harm with all of our power, economic might, military might.<\/p>\n
So we allowed unfair trade deals to develop with lesser nations for a host of reasons. And among them was liberal guilt. There was also the belief that if we did this, that it would be less likely some of these startups and renegade countries would launch missiles at us, that we would be safer.<\/p>\n
And these arrangements and this way of thinking was the world order that John McCain spoke of during the 2016 campaign. When Trump was running around talking about making America great again, McCain was one of the first people to panic over that. And he would say things, “Why do we want to throw away this order that we built and run since World War II, why do we \u2013” You see, making America great again, restoring America\u2019s preeminence and admitting it as a good thing, that\u2019s not what American foreign policy has been, folks. It may surprise you.<\/p>\n
America has allowed itself — leaders, various think tankers, various bureaucracy, cabinet heads, you name it, United Nations, take your pick in these groups — willingly permitted the United States to be limited in what it could do for itself and limited in arrangements with other countries as a way of showing we don\u2019t mean anybody any harm, as a way of demonstrating that we weren\u2019t a threat, and as a way to assuage our guilt in having so much more that maybe wasn\u2019t deserved.<\/p>\n
And this lasted for decades, until Trump came along. And one of these deals, one of these arrangements is the trade deal we have with China for I don\u2019t know how long, where essentially China had open access to our market. They could manufacture whatever they wanted. The cheapest, most worthless stuff in the world they wanted, and they would have total access to our markets at very low prices.<\/p>\n
And it got to the point where the ChiComs were making things, Japanese for a time, too, were making things that ended up costing much less than what they cost to build in America. We didn\u2019t change the trade arrangement. We allowed all of these foreign goods to come in with no tax, no tariff, no penalty. The world had open access to the market because this is perceived as what was fair, to show the world that we\u2019re not mean people, to show the world that we don\u2019t intend any harm.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-051519-China.jpg\")
We willingly sat by and let ourselves get taken advantage of. And this was considered wise diplomacy. And the number one beneficiary of arrangements like this was the ChiComs. In addition to flooding our market with cheap goods, they imported none of ours. And they were under no requirement to import any of ours. Now, they would import a few things here, soybeans, maybe some agricultural products, just to make it appear like it was a two-way street. They didn\u2019t want to purposely agitate us, but the balance was profound.<\/p>\n
Then they started manipulating their currency in order to make it even tougher for us to export our goods to them. And Trump has been calling them out on this for 20 years. Trump has been calling the Chinese out on their unfair trade practices and the stupidity of American leadership for permitting it, he\u2019s been talking about it for 20 years.<\/p>\n
So he gets elected. He gets elected under the premise, Make America Great Again. This panics the McCain types who believe that America should be openly subservient, knowing that we could wipe anybody off the map at any time and they know it, too, we should bend over, grab the ankles now and then and let ourselves be taken advantage of. That\u2019s one of the responsibilities a superpower has. We\u2019ve gotta have lesser nations take their shots at us. It\u2019s just the way of the world, they thought.<\/p>\n
Well, Trump thinks this is nuts and thinks that there\u2019s nothing wrong with making America great again and acknowledging that America leads the world, that America\u2019s the best force for good that the world has ever known. Why not champion this, why not sell this? And the premise is that every other nation ought to be operating the same way. If China was trying to make China great, that\u2019d be great for everybody. If America\u2019s trying to make America great. But the enemies of this purposely misstate it as white supremacy, white nationalism. They think the Make America Great Again crowd is nothing but a bunch of angry white people ticked off over affirmative action and they want to damn well get control of our country back and they want be back in charge.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s nothing to do with that. It\u2019s simply looking at America as what it is, the greatest economic and military power in the history of the world. Both those things combined as forces for good. The United States is the solution to world\u2019s problems. But this old order acknowledges that the United States is the source of many problems because of our wealth, because of our prosperity and our military might.<\/p>\n
Even Madeleine Albright, who was the foreign policy adviser for, whatever she was, for Obama, she ran around when the Soviet Union fell, these people were devastated, folks! When the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union collapsed, they said they had great fears for the world because the United States needed somebody to hold us in check. There needs to be another superpower, otherwise the world is gonna be destabilized because they did not have any concept of the United States as the good guys.<\/p>\n
This order that McCain proudly talked about after World War II did not incorporate the belief that the world was made more stable with a great and powerful United States. They believed that there needed to be a competing superpower. That was the role the Soviet Union played. Keeping America in check, making sure that America, whoever, doesn\u2019t run around starting to conquer the world and imprisoning people, taking all the oil or whatever. And so there were people that did not conceive of United States as the good guys. Trump does.<\/p>\n
Trump thinks we are the epitome of the good guys. We like everybody. We really like our allies. We want to treat our allies with the greatest trade deals we can, with the utmost in fairness and respect. But if you\u2019re against us, then too bad, you are not going to get any help from us. We\u2019ve been helping too many of our enemies. We\u2019ve been acknowledging this guilt over our superpower.<\/p>\n
And plus, in this mix there\u2019s also people who literally don\u2019t like America, don\u2019t like the fact that we are the world\u2019s superpower, don\u2019t like our economic might, who want to cut it down for that reason. I mean, this so-called order that McCain talked about, it was made up of all kinds of different people. And they are threatened to no end by Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-061919-MAGA-Make-America-Great.jpg\")
They don\u2019t understand Make America Great Again. To them, that\u2019s scary. Making America great again. They hear that, and they think Trump wants to take us back prior to FDR. He wants to go back to where there wasn\u2019t any welfare and it was cutthroat and if you made it on your own, you made it, and if you didn\u2019t, you lived in the sewer. That\u2019s how they mischaracterized what Make America Great is.<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s in this circumstance that we now have this ongoing fight with China. This has been going on too long. It simply isn\u2019t fair. And now the ChiComs are not manufacturing little tinhorn trinkets like they used to. The ChiComs have now become a super tech superpower. And a high-tech superpower. And they are one of the greatest world spy masters and hackers of computers and networks that there is. And we still treat them like they\u2019re a startup country that doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing. And Trump said (paraphrasing), “Okay, look. If you\u2019re not gonna allow American manufacturing access to your market, we\u2019re gonna start charging you a tax for the products that we let into our country. We gotta even this out somehow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, the ChiComs are just not gonna roll over. \u201cOh, okay, Mr. President. You\u2019re the first guy that\u2019s ever spoken up to us. So we will back down.\u201d No. This guy Xi Jinping thinks he is the next Mao Tse-tung. He thinks he is the next ruler for life, and by decree in the Chinese Politburo, he is. So he said, okay. I\u2019m gonna show this guy who\u2019s boss. He gonna slap these new tariffs. I\u2019m gonna slap tariffs on American goods. I\u2019m gonna freeze American goods out of China. Screw you!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why Trump said, okay, American companies, find another market. Trump isn\u2019t gonna cave on this. But the Democrat Party now finds itself on the side of China. And the media find themselves on the side of China hoping to damage Trump. They have no interest in making America great again or ever. Because to them the only time America\u2019s worthwhile is when they are running it.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I got sidetracked with trying to have everybody understand what\u2019s going on with the ChiComs levying $75 billion in new tariffs. Let me tell you what else they\u2019re doing. They are placing tariffs on agriculture and automobile products manufactured in swing states.<\/p>\n
The ChiComs are doing this to adversely affect Trump\u2019s reelection chances. They are attempting to freeze the economies, the export economies of American farmers and steel and auto manufacturing in swing states, the states, many of them, that Trump shocked people by winning, beating Hillary Clinton. So the ChiComs have thrown in. The practical effect is the ChiComs have thrown in with the Democrats.<\/p>\n
Now, my guess is they wouldn\u2019t really mind the Democrats winning. The Democrats would take it back to where it was, with the ChiComs renewed unfair trade advantage because the ChiComs think that the Democrats are gonna unwind everything Trump did and take us back to the days of economic misery so that they can say great things about Obama again and all of that, but they gotta tear down what Trump did, otherwise there\u2019s no reason to win. They gotta do it to satisfy their base.<\/p>\n
So the Chinese have decided to help the Democrats here. They\u2019re trying to force Trump voters away from Trump. Or, short of that, they\u2019re trying to force Trump to cave. They\u2019re trying to make Trump give up this trade war. And if they could pull that off, then they would just start celebrating, they would set off fireworks, and they\u2019d call s press conference, the Democrats would be joining them, “Trump caved, Trump knew he was wrong, Trump bombs out, Trump\u2019s phony, Trump has no power, Trump can\u2019t accomplish.” That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to make happen here. And they\u2019re trying to make it tough.<\/p>\n
You start talking about people\u2019s livelihoods, and farmers sell soybeans, it\u2019s one thing to be loyal to a political candidate. It\u2019s another thing to be loyal at the expense of your economic circumstances. So this is hardball, folks. It is real hardball, and it should tell you something. It should tell you that the forces of the left are united here in the United States and with the ChiComs against Donald Trump. That should tell you what we\u2019re up against.<\/p>\n
That should tell you what the stakes are. These are the forces of the left, communism and China, socialism, communism, depending on the Democrats you are talking about, they are now, whether it\u2019s by accident or design, they are aligned against Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
So it should make you ask on which side of this do you come down? Are you gonna join the side that enables the ChiComs and the Democrats to win? Now, I don\u2019t think so most people are gonna look at it that way because they\u2019re not gonna understand what this is really all about, which is why I\u2019ve spent the time explaining it here today.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, I left one thing out, and it\u2019s crucially important in the discussion on the trade imbalance and the circumstances we find ourselves in now with the ChiComs and what Trump is literally trying to do and why it\u2019s so necessary.<\/p>\n
I left out a key ingredient that is key to understand all this in the postwar order that was set up. That is when the roots of globalism were actually planted. And by that, I mean that\u2019s when the roots of diminishing the United States as a lone superpower actually began, with the acquiescence and support of countless powerful Americans.<\/p>\n
This did not happen to us, by the way. There were Americans making this happen all throughout the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The idea that the United States as a superpower alone in the world risked the world, not saved it. The idea the United States needed a competing superpower so the world would not be destabilized with democracy or capitalism, some such thing.<\/p>\n
It was in this era that the actual roots of globalism were planted and began to sprout. And the globalism has now manifested itself to the point where there\u2019s an actual global movement that wants to eliminate the concept of nation by eliminating borders and by eliminating distinct cultures to be replaced by a geographic location that is your home. You live in what was America, but you\u2019re not in America anymore. You just live in the state of New York, not country of America. I mean, that\u2019s the dream.<\/p>\n
And for all of this to happen, the American concept, America itself has to be, well, more than diminished. America has to be eliminated as any kind of a nation state, especially as the dominant superpower of the world. So Trump coming along with the slogan Make America Great Again was seen as a direct threat, a declaration of war to all of these people, not just the U.S., but around the world who believe in the new globalism as the evolution of humanity on earth.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-051019-America-First.jpg\")
That\u2019s why he\u2019s universally reviled and hated by establishment types because they long ago decided that globalism was the evolutionary next stage of human existence on the planet. One government where, if somebody said there\u2019s climate change, then, by God, there\u2019s climate change, and there\u2019s nobody in America that can say there isn\u2019t. If this body decides that there\u2019s climate change and the thermostat\u2019s gonna be set here and Big Oil\u2019s gonna be punished, then that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n
The reason for a global government is to eliminate any opposition to whatever the people that constitute this global government want. And it is a hallmark of liberalism. It\u2019s now a defining characteristic of the Democrat Party. There is no opposition. There is no worthwhile. There is no valid opposition. There is no opposition we should grant any serious time to.<\/p>\n
And because there isn\u2019t any opposition, when some sprouts up, we\u2019re gonna kill it, we\u2019re gonna get rid of it, we\u2019re gonna wipe it out. We\u2019re not gonna try to overcome it in debate. We\u2019re not gonna try to win elections. We\u2019re just going to get rid of the opposition. How does that manifest itself? Oh, in things like we gotta get rid of Fox News, or in we gotta get rid of talk radio, or in we can\u2019t let Kavanaugh get confirmed to the court, anything that represents opposition must be stopped.<\/p>\n
I guarantee you these people pushing this climate change hoax, they know it\u2019s a hoax, and they know that it\u2019s nothing more than a vehicle to coalesce power. The problem is that there are people who oppose it. But when you have finally this dream of a world government or a globalist governing body, it won\u2019t matter what anybody out there who opposes it thinks because they won\u2019t have any power to do anything about it.<\/p>\n
America won\u2019t be able to elect a president who doesn\u2019t believe in climate change or pick your issue. Because the American president will not actually exist, there won\u2019t be such a thing. There might be a governor of the area that was once America, some such thing, but he\u2019ll be an official of the globalist apparatus.<\/p>\n
But the key to it, one of the attractive things about it, no opposition. Just get to decree that whatever you want is and becomes policy. There are many other reasons for wanting it as well, but that\u2019s right near the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
