I want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/10\/17\/what-pelosis-stunt-tells-us\/\">review the first hour for you<\/a> because I don\u2019t want there to be any mistake. Wherever you go in the media today, it doesn\u2019t matter where, everybody is focusing on Pelosi and what she said, and Trump had a &#8220;meltdown,&#8221; and Trump is unfit and, &#8220;We need to pray for the president.&#8221; I\u2019ve got all the sound bites. Let me count them here. Seven, 10, 11&#8230; The first 10. I could have spent the first hour just reviewing what you\u2019ve heard if you pay attention to the news anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to do something different: Screw the narrative and tell you the truth of what\u2019s really going on, which is what we do here every day. But it\u2019s rooted in the very pursuit of the truth, not trying to be different. It\u2019s not hard to be different when everybody else is doing the exact same story in the exact same way using the exact same terms and words. But what all this means, what all of this is about is that their impeachment narratives are breaking down. They have lost the whistleblower story. That\u2019s gone now as a reason to impeach.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-325628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101719-Pelosi-Schiff.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101719-Pelosi-Schiff.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101719-Pelosi-Schiff-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve moved off of it. It didn\u2019t get them where they wanted to go. The moment Trump released the transcript, that was it for the impeachment narrative on Ukraine. So now they\u2019re trying other things. They\u2019re trying to get Trump cabinet members and other staff members to show up and testify to undermine Trump ambassadors and this kind of thing, and they\u2019re doing it all behind closed doors. They\u2019re not letting anybody hear what anybody is saying.<\/p>\n<p>The truth of what has transpired now is back on May 22nd, Pelosi &#8212; in an infrastructure meeting with Trump at the White House &#8212; storms out claiming he had a &#8220;meltdown.&#8221; She goes to the microphones, and the Drive-Bys report that he had a meltdown and that we need to &#8220;pray for mental health.&#8221; They\u2019re redoing that yesterday. We\u2019re not playing ball with it. I\u2019m not even gonna go through the motions. We\u2019re not gonna replay the audio. We\u2019re not gonna give Pelosi the time. I\u2019m just telling you straight out what this is really all about.<\/p>\n<p>They have now decided &#8212; and we have this from Pelosi\u2019s own words &#8212; to try to turn this back once again on Russia. Now her new talking point is, &#8220;All roads lead to Putin.&#8221; So the short version of this is that everything they\u2019re trying is not working. Now, you won\u2019t know that. You\u2019ll have to conclude that on your own using intelligence guided by experience, melted and coupled with common sense. Why is it the whistleblower no longer matters?<\/p>\n<p>Why does the collusion thing not? Where\u2019d that go? They were gonna impeach a guy over a phone call. What happened to all this so-called impeachable stuff before that? Well, when it bombs, it bombs. You drop it, and you move on to something else. And they\u2019re doing that, recycling things that have failed now. They\u2019ve run out of new things. Now they\u2019ve got something new. Now they\u2019ve got Mulvaney announcing the G7 at Trump Doral. Now they\u2019re all hepped up.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re going back to getting Trump on the emoluments clause, meaning, &#8220;He\u2019s gonna do this! He\u2019s gonna profit! He\u2019s going to personally profit! He\u2019s going to corporate on this! It\u2019s obscene! This is obscene. Presidents can\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t do this!&#8221; Mulvaney is just toying with them in his answers. Now, Pelosi, she\u2019s fairly smart. I mean, she knows to change unfavorable narratives. She didn\u2019t want an infrastructure deal with Trump. They don\u2019t want any deal with Trump that is going to improve America.<\/p>\n<p>Especially now, but certainly not since they took over the House in January. There\u2019s no way. That\u2019s why they\u2019re not talking about anything that matters to people. They don\u2019t want any progress that Trump can claim any credit for or that the people would give Trump credit for. So they\u2019ve dropped everything. She changes narratives. She doesn\u2019t want the infrastructure deal, so she blew up the meeting and claims that Trump melted down.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-269106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Truth-RUSH-Dark.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Truth-RUSH-Dark.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-032818-Truth-RUSH-Dark-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I think what is driving the repeat performance of yesterday is how bad the Democrat debate was. Folks, it was a disaster from their standpoint. Well, mine too. But I\u2019m just saying they know it. It was an abject disaster. There are supposedly&#8230; There are two frontrunners. Plugs is obviously&#8230; You know, it\u2019s fascinating. What Pelosi\u2019s saying about Trump actually could be applied to Biden. It could be true. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/10\/16\/democratic-debate-elizabeth-warren-at-a-loss-when-pressured-to-defend-fanciful-proposals\/\">Elizabeth Warren melts under any confrontational pressure<\/a>. She will not explain how she\u2019s going to fund any of her proposals \u2019cause it means tax increases.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s not gonna admit it. So she changes the media narrative to try get everybody\u2019s attention away from the debate, put it back on Trump, and back on Russia. Now they\u2019ve got something new with Mulvaney announcing the G7 summit. So it\u2019s just an ongoing attempt here to create this massive image that Trump is all these horrible things &#8212; and I think the exact opposite of those who think the conventional wisdom is right, that Trump is imploding and that this is the end and the media\u2019s winning. The Democrats are winning.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s the exact opposite, which I will explain in detail in a moment. But I do have to answer the call we had from the guy who said, &#8220;I\u2019m not&#8230; I don\u2019t like Trump abandoning the Kurds. This is a bad thing. I\u2019m still gonna vote for Trump but I think it\u2019s a bad thing. You don\u2019t abandon your allies like this. It\u2019s a bad move.&#8221; Now, I have said countless times the only person who can force Trump\u2019s voters away from him is Trump. The media can\u2019t do it, and they\u2019re learning they can\u2019t do it. The Democrats can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<p>They will never learn they can\u2019t do it. They\u2019ve launched everything to no impact. But for this impeachment thing to work&#8230; Remember, she doesn\u2019t want to vote, she doesn\u2019t want a trial, she\u2019s trying to create massive public opinion against Trump that would force the Republicans in the Senate to abandon him, and that would lead to Trump resigning. That\u2019s the dream. So now they\u2019re on to Syria and Russia, and Pelosi\u2019s saying, &#8220;Trump pulled the troops out of Syria to help Putin! All roads lead to Putin!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All roads lead back to the Democrats\u2019 inability to accept the election results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The moment Trump released the transcript, that was it for the impeachment narrative on Ukraine.
