<\/p>\nRUSH: Let me get started on the phones. We have Joy here in Erie, Colorado. Welcome. Great to have you. You are up first today. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Love your program. I just wanted to bring up why are Senate Republicans not doing anything to investigate Adam Schiff, who suspiciously tweeted out just a few weeks ago something very sneakily close to what this whole situation is, and then he says he found out about it last week? Why don\u2019t Senate Republicans start giving some of the same treatment to these guys that they\u2019re giving to us?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They hauled Corey Lewandowski up there simply to embarrass him last week. Unfortunately, he got the last laugh. But I\u2019m getting super ticked off that Republicans won\u2019t try and turn this around in any way and say, “All right, Schiff. What\u2019s your story? What did you know and when?” It\u2019s turning into a complete circus.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, the Senate cannot investigate the House.<\/p>\n
CALLER: But couldn\u2019t Graham or somebody say, you know, where did you end up with your information?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, yeah, Graham, you can go to the media and ask the question indirectly, but you can\u2019t call Schiff in as a witness. I mean, the Senate can\u2019t do that to members of the House and vice-versa.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s completely ticking me off now. I\u2019m to the point where I want to start calling my state senator and say I am not gonna vote for you unless you promise to do this to the next Democratic president, because I\u2019m done with what\u2019s happening to Trump on a chronic basis. Every day they go after him, I feel like they\u2019re going after me because they hate me, they hate Trump and I\u2019m just completely ticked off.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, wait. You have just served into a larger truth that I think we — I need to stop you so we don\u2019t gloss over this, because I actually think, Joy, that the ultimate targets, what the Democrats are doing, happen to be us.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, absolutely.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Happen to be those of us who supported, support, or voted for Trump. They hate us and by extension they hate Trump. Without us, there wouldn\u2019t be Trump. Without us and without all the other Trump supporters Trump would not have been elected. So here\u2019s the thing. You\u2019re really onto something here.<\/p>\n
If they get away with — and I\u2019m gonna go back to your Senate House thing and Schiff in a minute \u2019cause there\u2019s news about that. If they get away with four years, this constant outside-the-law harassment and at the same time — and I know this irritates — if Hillary, if Obama, if Biden get a pass for what they are trying to nail Trump to the wall for, then, folks, we\u2019re near the end, if they get away with this.<\/p>\n
This is no longer just about Trump\u2019s fate. It is about our collective future. It is about the future of this country and about us having the ability to vote in freedom and having the freedom to win and not be punished for it. We\u2019re kind of in sort of a French Revolution circumstance here, and they\u2019re not stopping. If they win this, they\u2019re not gonna stop at getting rid of Trump. We\u2019re next. However they\u2019re gonna punish us, however they\u2019re gonna make sure we\u2019re unable to do this again, that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna do.<\/p>\n
Look. We\u2019re only now learning the full extent to which Obama wrecked the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, the IRS. Look at the corruption. They love to run around, Obama and Biden love to run around saying that they had a scandal free administration. What a crock! The corruption of the DOJ alone, the corruption of the FBI.<\/p>\n
Look what the FBI has been doing the past three years, investigating, planting spies, making up stories, traveling around the world trying to dig up dirt on an event that did not happen, trying to convince the American people that it did happen, with a willing accomplice Democrat media. The IRS we know, Lois Lerner, what Obama did to corrupt government for the express purpose of being able to use unilateral Oval Office power. Everything they\u2019re accusing Trump of doing, they did, and they continue to want to do. They are against us.<\/p>\n
Joy, you are so right about this. And all these Never Trumpers, they are falling into it like the biggest useful idiots. If these so-called conservative media outlets continue to publish all of these unhinged Trump\u2019s gotta go pieces, Trump\u2019s gotta get impeached, we need to get rid of Trump, all they\u2019re doing is accelerating the left-wing takeover of the whole country.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just about getting rid of Trump. It\u2019s about getting rid of us, this show, talk radio, Fox News, and our freedom to vote. They are fed up with having opposition. They are fed up with having opponents. They\u2019re fed up with having to win or debate in the arena of ideas. That is beneath them. They shouldn\u2019t have to do that. We are a gigantic irritation to them and their objectivity here by taking out Trump is taking out everybody associated with him, including those who voted for him and put him into office.<\/p>\n
And I congratulate you for zeroing in on that because that\u2019s exactly right, and that\u2019s why you\u2019re mad. Where are the Republicans? Why don\u2019t they see that this is ultimately gonna sweep them out, too? You know, you talk about Schiff, and I understand that, but for crying out loud, what is Charles Grassley saying? Grassley: I\u2019m worried the Democrats are not letting the Republicans participate in the impeachment process in the House.<\/p>\n
What? And Mitch McConnell going out of his way to assure everybody that if they vote it, we\u2019re gonna do a trial, we\u2019ve got no choice. There doesn\u2019t even appear to be any unified support for Trump and opposition to the left. I understand your frustration, believe me. I feel it exactly as you do, Joy.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It just ticks me off entirely because it does feel like a direct attack on me. I feel like every time this is going on — and where are the Republicans surrounding him to support him? The Democrats jump right up and fall into line every single time, and the Republicans fail every time.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, look. In fairness, and this is not meant as a full-throated defense, but it\u2019s relevant. There\u2019s a big difference between Republicans and Democrats. Big, big, big difference. The Democrats want, they demand, they crave the total power to run everybody\u2019s life. They crave, they have to have the power of the government to be able to use it to affect the outcomes they want. They are genuine power mad Stalinist types.<\/p>\n
The Republicans have no desire for that kind of power. Republicans, for the most part, like to win elections and run things, but they don\u2019t want to control your life. They don\u2019t look at people as enemies simply because they disagree with \u2019em and then target them for being wiped out. But the Democrats do! So the Republican objectives are not even the same as the Democrats. So you\u2019re not gonna get similar behavior.<\/p>\n
Republicans have no desire to wipe out the Democrats.<\/p>\n
Democrats totally exist to wipe us out — I mean, in a political sense.<\/p>\n
So you\u2019re never gonna get Republicans behaving as Democrats do. That\u2019s forever gonna frustrate you. Our option is to keep defeating them in elections — which they know, which is why they don\u2019t want to get anywhere near debating or discussing issues. Their agenda does not appear to a majority of Americans when a majority of Americans learns what it really is. I don\u2019t believe a majority of Americans want to live in an autocratic, socialist, command-control economy and country.<\/p>\n
