Matt Gaetz went on PMSNBC last night. He was one of the Republicans that stormed the SCIF in a regrettable stunt, according to some Republican Trump supporters. Let me tell you what a SCIF is. It stands for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, and it\u2019s kind of like an air gapped computer.<\/p>\n<p>An air gapped computer is one not connected to a network so you can\u2019t hack into it and whatever it\u2019s doing cannot broadcast. The computer cannot send anything outside of its own hard drive and monitor. It cannot connect to a network. That\u2019s air gapped. And it is the ultimate in security. Get a computer, laptop, don\u2019t connect it, that means you don\u2019t get to surf the Web. But it means you get to create all kinds of secret documents that nobody will ever see.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-msnbc-BANNED-Lifted.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-msnbc-BANNED-Lifted.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-msnbc-BANNED-Lifted-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Well, a SCIF is the same thing with a room. It\u2019s not connected to the outside. No electronic devices exist in a SCIF. And your cell phones are not permitted to be taken into one. Now, the reason for SCIFs, one of the reasons is to have super-secret classified hearings, meetings, testimony. Adam Schiff is using a SCIF, a room two floors below street level in the Capitol. Schiff starts every one of these so-called hearings by announcing that no classified information is gonna be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no reason to do this in a SCIF. There\u2019s literally no reason. If there is no classified information being discussed, no classified data is in there, no classified documents are brought in there, nothing classified is discussed, then why do the SCIF? Why do it there?<\/p>\n<p>The reason is simple. It\u2019s to keep the Republicans from finding out what\u2019s being said by anti-Trump witnesses. Schiff\u2019s excuse is, &#8220;Well, I don\u2019t want the witnesses to be able to coordinate so that they can\u2019t lie in unison.&#8221; It\u2019s the exact opposite. What Schiff doesn\u2019t want is for anybody to know what the witnesses say so that he can leak anything he wants to tell us they said. He can take a sentence or two that they\u2019ve stated out of context, leak that to the media, a bombshell story with a bombshell headline results, and there\u2019s no evidence to contradict it.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what Schiff is doing, and this is also why he doesn\u2019t want any Republicans in there. So that they can\u2019t see and thus tell anybody else what is going on. So it is this room that they stormed. They didn\u2019t storm anything. They quietly walked in and sat down and tried to watch what\u2019s going on in there since they\u2019ve been frozen out. They gave their cell phones to aides outside the room. They did not storm in, they didn\u2019t protest, they don\u2019t go Code Pink, they didn\u2019t start shouting and shut it down.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff shut it down because he couldn\u2019t afford for them to hear what was going on! Then Schiff calls the New York Times or the Washington Post, whoever\u2019s turn it was to get the leak, says we were just shut down here by a bunch of Republicans storming in here protesting, shutting us down. And then shortly after that Schiff, &#8220;You know what? We\u2019re thinking about going public.&#8221; Why now? Why all of a sudden are you thinking about going public? They\u2019ve been called out.<\/p>\n<p>So a break and then we\u2019ll let you hear what Matt Gaetz said about all this. And, in a way, it might serve as a clinic on pushback and how to do it. But it will also set the record straight on what actually happened yesterday and make it clear that it was not a stunt.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hi. Welcome back. It\u2019s Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network. Okay. This morning on MSNBC Live with Hallie Jackson, Matt Gaetz, Republican, Florida, waded in there, belly of the beast, PMSNBC. First question he got from Hallie Jackson, who used to be the White House correspondent. Whatever she is, she\u2019s a left-wing activist disguised as a journalist. They all are. Question: \u201cWhy do you think you are above the rules? This is the point of why you went to the SCIF yesterday?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GAETZ: I\u2019m not above the rules, but when the Judiciary Committee chairman launches the inquiry, when the Speaker of the House won\u2019t adopt rules, then it creates an environment where the Democrats just sort of make it up as they go along. Let\u2019s kick some committees out, let some committees in, and it\u2019s all because they want to reshuffle the legislative deck because they\u2019re humiliated that they lost the Russia investigation unequivocally with the American people.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Ehpa_GTplo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Adam Schiff lied to the American people when he said he had more than circumstantial evidence that President Trump was engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Russia, and so this is a way to take some folks on the Judiciary Committee, like myself, like Andy Biggs, out of the next hand because we were effective in making the case that Democrats were overstating the facts.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So then she said, &#8220;Well, okay. I want to ask you about the substance of this,\u201d which I thought we just heard some. I thought we just had a very substantive answer about, \u201cwhy do you think you\u2019re above the rules?\u201d We\u2019re not above the rules! We\u2019re being shut out! Schiff is making rules! He\u2019s making them up as they go! He\u2019s letting some in, not letting other people in. There aren\u2019t any rules to these proceedings, Ms. Jackson. We can\u2019t be breaking the rules \u2019cause he hasn\u2019t told anybody what they are. He\u2019s just doing it as he goes.<\/p>\n<p>So she was not satisfied, obviously, said, \u201cI want to ask you about the substance of this, congressman, because I haven\u2019t heard you say anything since Bill Taylor testified. Yes or no, is it okay for any politician to trade military aid for political favors?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GAETZ: I do not believe it would be appropriate for any politician to link military aid to assistance in a future election. No. And I also don\u2019t think that\u2019s what the president did. I think the president &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>JACKSON: Why not?<\/p>\n<p>GAETZ: &#8212; was right to follow up on the work of Bill Barr to try to identify the corrupt origins of the Russia investigation. It was a Ukrainian court that ruled that the Ukraine impermissibly interfered in the U.S. election. And that is a sufficient basis for the president to ask for cooperation with the attorney general on that matter.<\/p>\n<p>JACKSON: It appears from the testimony that we have seen reported publicly from the witnesses here \u2013 (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>GAETZ: The selective leaks provided by Adam Schiff which aren\u2019t subject to cross-examination. No, see, like you\u2019re playing the game here, Hallie.<\/p>\n<p>JACKSON: Do you dispute the facts then?<\/p>\n<p>GAETZ: You\u2019re playing the game with the selectively leaked stuff that is not subject to cross-examination.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-326379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-MSNBC-GRAB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-MSNBC-GRAB.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-MSNBC-GRAB-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me walk you through this because what she\u2019s doing, she is Miss Cliche. This woman does not actually even know what she\u2019s talking about. She has the narrative. She\u2019s got the talking points. It all starts with Trump is guilty, Trump colluded, they still haven\u2019t said that he didn\u2019t. Now Trump\u2019s engaging in quid pro quo. Bill Taylor said so. And the president\u2019s asking for Ukraine to investigate his political opponent. And that\u2019s not legal.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s almost robotic. Her questions and her knowledge here are almost robotic. So she asks him one of these, &#8220;So, so, so, do you think it\u2019s okay for a politician to trade military aid for political favors?&#8221; Right there, when did you last beat your wife? When did you stop beating your wife? Of course he doesn\u2019t think that. That\u2019s not what this is about. So he has to oblige. He has to say, \u201cI don\u2019t believe it would be appropriate for any politician to \u2013&#8221; as though he has to say this because it could never be assumed that Republicans would obey the law.<\/p>\n<p>You see, the narrative is that Republicans will flout the law, so she\u2019s gotta ask him, \u201cWould you obey the law, would you make sure that there was no political quid pro quo for military aid,\u201d blah, blah, blah. And he has to oblige and say, &#8220;No, it would not be appropriate.&#8221; Then he says, &#8220;I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what the president did. &#8220;Why not?&#8221; she pipes up. &#8220;The president was right to follow up on the work of Bill Barr to try to identify the corrupt origins of the Russia investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And right there he lost her. She doesn\u2019t know what we know about the corrupt Russia investigation. She thinks it\u2019s totally legit. She thinks that Trump colluded. She thinks the Mueller report has evidence that it happened. She thinks the Steele Dossier was real. She thinks that the FISA reports were valid, the FISA warrants to spy were valid. All of that.<\/p>\n<p>She believes every lie that Brennan\u2019s ever told, that Clapper\u2019s ever told. Her network executives are major donors to Hillary and Biden. So he\u2019s speaking a foreign language to her. She has no idea what he\u2019s talking about. To her, he\u2019s just a kook. \u201cWell, what are you talking about here? Fake Russian investigation?\u201d He said the president was right to follow up on that. It was a Ukrainian court, Gaetz said, that ruled that Ukraine impermissibly interfered in the U.S. election.<\/p>\n<p>She doesn\u2019t know that. In fact, the left is trying to beat that back. There were four Democrat senators who demanded after Trump was elected January 2017, that demanded that Ukraine help them get dirt on Trump! You think Trump\u2019s not gonna investigate that? She doesn\u2019t know that. Literally, Hallie Jackson of NBC does not know what Gaetz has just asserted here. I\u2019ll guarantee you she doesn\u2019t know it. She won\u2019t admit she doesn\u2019t know it, though. If you ask her, \u201cOh, of course I know. I just don\u2019t believe Gaetz knows what he\u2019s talking about,\u201d some semblance of that.<\/p>\n<p>A Ukraine court ruled that Ukraine impermissibly interfered the U.S. election. That\u2019s a basis for the president to ask for cooperation with the attorney general on that matter. She said, &#8220;Well, it appears from the testimony that we\u2019ve seen reported publicly from witnesses there \u2013\u201d Selected leaks! We haven\u2019t seen the testimony! We haven\u2019t seen transcripts! &#8220;That, uh, in fact, provided by Adam Schiff that that\u2019s what the president &#8211;&#8221; She doesn\u2019t know. She\u2019s just repeating the standard narrative that every journalist in Washington believes because he or she has been told. It\u2019s amazing that Gaetz got that far. There\u2019s more too. So hang on.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The Washington Post has a motto, &#8220;Democracy Dies in Darkness.&#8221; Where is Adam Schiff? He\u2019s in the darkness of a private room. If this testimony\u2019s so devastating to Trump, why not reveal it and make it public?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want to continue here with the Matt Gaetz sound bites from MSNBC this morning on a program called Live with Hallie Jackson. He was among the Republicans that stormed into &#8212; and they didn\u2019t storm in there. They arrived in Adam Schiff\u2019s little star chamber down there two floors below street level in the Capitol, the so-called SCIF, the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no classified information being discussed. There\u2019s no reason for Schiff to do this in a SCIF for secrecy &#8212; well, there is secrecy-wise. He doesn\u2019t want the Republicans to hear what\u2019s going on. He doesn\u2019t want to be able to be contradicted when he leaks out-of-context testimony from witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing. If Schiff is eliciting testimony here that\u2019s gonna burn down the barn; if Schiff\u2019s getting the goods on Trump; if Schiff has got it, if these witnesses are coming in and nailing Trump to the wall, then why not do it in public? Isn\u2019t that the point?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-263336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FB-002-020718-Schiff.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FB-002-020718-Schiff.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/FB-002-020718-Schiff-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I\u2019ll give you the answer. They don\u2019t have anything on Trump. I know there are a lot of you thinking I\u2019m not taking this seriously enough. We had a call yesterday. Whenever there\u2019s a call you can say if one call gets through it might represent a certain percentage of people listening that think the same way. No caller is ever actually isolated in terms of point of view. And I realize some of you might think I\u2019m not taking it seriously.<\/p>\n<p>I take it very seriously. What I\u2019m trying to tell you is they\u2019ve got nothing. All they\u2019ve got is to try to drive down Trump\u2019s approval numbers, and that\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to do. And they\u2019re trying to create this illusion that there\u2019s an avalanche of evidence that they\u2019ve finally, after chasing after it for three years, they\u2019re on the verge of getting it. And who knew way back in late 2016 that the answer to everything was in Ukraine? Why, everybody thought it was in Russia, but look now. It\u2019s all in Ukraine, and it\u2019s all about a phone call that happened this past July.<\/p>\n<p>So they\u2019re doing what they can to drive down Trump\u2019s numbers because the only way they\u2019re gonna get rid of him and overturn the election results is if they can create public opinion for that. So everything\u2019s an illusion. They want you to believe that Schiff is uncovering mountains of damaging testimony, really, really deadly stuff for Trump is being learned. Well, let\u2019s see it, then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, they can\u2019t show their cards right now.\u201d Why not? I mean, don\u2019t have much time here. The election campaign will start in earnest very soon, and you want to get this done quick, right? I mean, it does appear they\u2019d like to get Trump thrown out of office before the election because I don\u2019t think they think they can win the election. In fact, I know they think they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got three stories in the Stack today that could each be headlined: Democrats in panic number 1, Democrats in panic number 2, Democrats in panic number 3. You put those three stories together with the New York Times yesterday worried about the roster of Democrats seeking the nomination now with the question, \u201cIs this all there is? Is there no one else?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of panic on the left, there\u2019s a lot of panic on the Democrat side \u2019cause they don\u2019t think any of these nominees can win. That\u2019s why you\u2019re hearing scuttlebutt about Hillary getting back in, maybe Michelle (My Belle) Obama. Who knows. JFK. Anybody. So they really would like to do this before the election because they don\u2019t think they can beat Trump. And in fact, these three stories, Democrats in panic version 1, version 2, version 3, one of them is about Wisconsin and how Trump won Wisconsin in 2016. They can\u2019t figure out how. And he\u2019s so far ahead now where he was in 2016, the Democrats are in panic over Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>And there are other things that they\u2019re panicking over. Fundraising is one of them. But there are others as well.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want to get back to Matt Gaetz now. We\u2019re up to the third sound bite. He appeared with Hallie Jackson MSNBC this morning. Next question: \u201cDid you get a chance to see Bill Taylor\u2019s opening statement that was released?\u201d You know, Bill Taylor, he\u2019s the guy that finally had the goods on Trump. This is the guy, if we\u2019d a known Bill Taylor three years ago we\u2019d have dragged him out. Bill Taylor, what a great American, great ambassador, Bill Taylor, he said there was a quid pro quo. \u201cHave you read all 15 pages? Do you think he\u2019s making it all up?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GAETZ: I would love to have the chance to cross-examine Taylor on those claims or even to observe my colleagues cross-examining Taylor, but this is the new Adam Schiff strategy. Leak stuff that is pre-prepared \u2013 (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>JACKSON: Your colleagues can cross-examine him. Your Republican colleagues are in the room. So you don\u2019t trust your Republicans on these committees?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-326539 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-Gaetz-MSNBC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-Gaetz-MSNBC.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102419-Gaetz-MSNBC-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>GAETZ: No, I want to see the consequences of their work, right? They put out their opening statement. We engage in cross-examination. You want to ask me about the opening, but I don\u2019t have the benefit of the cross-examination to be able to test the allegations made in the opening statement. And that is all by design.<\/p>\n<p>It is not an accident that you and I are here having this interview on terms that are very favorable to the Adam Schiff theory of the case because when John Ratcliffe asked questions that I think poke holes in the allegations that Taylor made, we don\u2019t get the benefit of those \u2019cause, you know what? They weren\u2019t leaked and they weren\u2019t in front of the American people, and that\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And apparently, I just want to share with you, Ratcliffe apparently destroyed Bill Taylor on cross-examination. See, the way this works, Taylor gives his opening statement, it\u2019s 15 pages, and it nails Trump, and proves the quid pro quo, and it\u2019s exactly what Schiff wanted. They worked together to create it! You ever heard of Bill Taylor before? One of the greatest ambassadors ever, apparently. Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>And now there\u2019s Navy admirals and Army generals on TV today on CNN praising this guy to the hilt. One of them has a book out, Stavridis, I don\u2019t know how you pronounce his name. But he even admitted, \u201cOh, yeah, you know, the officer class hates Trump, but the enlisted force, they love Trump. Yes, it\u2019s a great divide.\u201d Well, no kidding. The officer class hates Trump, but the enlisted grunts love Trump. How do you figure that?<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m told that Ratcliffe ate Bill Taylor\u2019s testimony for lunch. But it\u2019s not been leaked. We don\u2019t know what it is. We only have this version. Schiff\u2019s version of what Taylor said has been leaked, an opening statement that was crafted precisely to be leaked. And they count on the fact that nobody\u2019s gonna say, &#8220;Bill who?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why wasn\u2019t this guy the whistleblower? Why did it take three weeks to get to this guy? Was it \u2019cause everybody before him failed to nail Trump so they finally pull somebody out of retirement to do it?<\/p>\n<p>So Gaetz\u2019s point is I\u2019m appearing with you here under one narrative, and that is that Taylor had the goods and we don\u2019t know anything about the cross-examination because it hasn\u2019t been reported and Schiff won\u2019t let it out. And Ratcliffe can\u2019t say what it is without being penalized for violating Schiff\u2019s so-called rules.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Gaetz\u2019s appearance did not go over well with Meghan McCain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/meghan-mccain-slams-matt-gaetzs-publicity-stunt-politics-you-wanna-be-a-tv-star-get-out-of-congress\/\">She was on The View today,<\/a> and she had this to say about Gaetz and the Republicans, quote, unquote, storming little Pencil Neck\u2019s inquiry hearing yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>MCCAIN: I hate political stunts across the board in general. I think we elect people in order to serve in Congress. We elect you to get your freaking job done one way or the other, and when you are sitting on a sit-in for 26 hours or you\u2019re doing what Republicans did yesterday, Matt Gaetz, when did you become a TV star or wannabe TV star? You want to do that? Get the hell out of Congress, get a TV job.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) That\u2019s Meghan McCain with her selective criticism of people in her father\u2019s party because they\u2019re doing stunts, they\u2019re not doing their jobs. \u201cGo get on TV if you want to be a TV star, do your job.\u201d Meghan, with all due respect, they\u2019re not being allowed to do their jobs. They\u2019re being denied entry and participation in what\u2019s being billed an impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I wanted you to hear Gaetz, and I wanted you to hear him get to the point about the cross-examination of Taylor. Nobody\u2019s allowed to see it, but his opening 15 page statement, Hallie Jackson, \u201cHow do you refute it? You think all 15 pages are a lie? This man was great.\u201d That\u2019s all they\u2019re talking about.
