RUSH: I gotta squeeze a bunch of stuff in here to get to it, because it\u2019s dynamic. It is dynamic. It\u2019s the kind of stuff that I want you to know more than anything out there today about what is happening, how you\u2019re being manipulated, how you\u2019re being lied to, how the whole country is, and how dangerous this is. Here\u2019s the piece de resistance. It may not even be working! If polling data is the judge, they ain\u2019t gaining any ground! And it\u2019s their own polls which are telling them this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got audio sound bites of some of these panicked people on CNN like David “Rodham” Gergen. They\u2019re now being very, very cautious — very, very reserved — about the fact that this might somehow backfire. (impression) “It could backfire \u2019cause President Trump\u2019s a very dynamic candidate. Yeah, and this may not have anything to do with the reelection effort if they fail at getting him thrown out of office.”<\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t want anybody to think that Schiff and Pelosi and these guys are thinking they\u2019re on top of the world and this is just a matter of time \u2019til they get rid of Trump, because the fact of the matter is everything they have tried to date has blown up on them. They are the coyote. Trump is the Road Runner, and they are Wile E. Coyote and they\u2019re continuing to blow themselves up and fall off the cliff — and they\u2019re going to on this one. As much as anything, do you know what\u2019s gonna nail \u2019em?<\/p>\n

Just what nailed the Soviet Union: These people are going to implode on the weight of their own immorality. They are going to implode on the weight of their own dishonesty, of their own disingenuousness. In other words, karma is gonna bite \u2019em big, and it\u2019s gonna happen at the absolute worst time for them. It\u2019s going to happen during the heat of the 2020 presidential race. Of this, I am deeply confident.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So let\u2019s turn to the polling data because the polling data does not look good for them.<\/p>\n

Washington Post\/ABC poll today.<\/a> Forty-nine percent of Americans say the president should be impeached and removed. Forty-seven percent say he should not. You say, “Well, Rush, that\u2019s not good.” Well, guess what? It\u2019s no different than it was a month ago. It\u2019s identical to the same poll a month ago. Which means that this past month of Pelosi and Schiff and never-ending, nonstop coverage of the lies of the Donald Trump phone call, quid pro quo, Ukraine, Bill Taylor, all of these lying witnesses and informants and whistleblowers haven\u2019t moved the poll at all, not a point!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So let me tell you how to look at this. You\u2019re Adam Schiff and you\u2019re Pelosi, you\u2019re CNN, ABC, the Washington Post. You have devoted a month to getting rid of Donald Trump. You have devoted a month to one lie after another about how he demanded a quid pro quo, about how he demanded that Ukraine find dirt on Joe Biden and his kid.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve had unfettered access to the Drive-By Media for an entire month, and the poll hasn\u2019t moved. Public opinion has not moved. Forty-nine percent is not enough to force Republicans to abandon Trump. Forty-nine percent is not enough to have a president removed from office.<\/p>\n

Now, if you dig deeper in this poll (this is the Washington Post\/ABC poll), 82% of Democrats support removing Trump; 13% are opposed. Republicans: 82% opposed; 18% in favor. Independents: 47% favor; 49% oppose. That\u2019s not good for Democrats. They can\u2019t get the independents on their side on this after a solid month. Hell, after a solid month? After three years now of “Donald Trump scum!” — a solid three years — and they can\u2019t get to 50% in any poll that says get rid of the guy.<\/p>\n

Now, four weeks ago these numbers were identical. There\u2019s no trend in their favor, in this poll. Independents, in fact, have flipped. A month ago, it was 49-47 in favor of impeachment and removal among independents. Now it\u2019s flipped. Now it\u2019s 47% in favor and 49% opposed. What does this mean? I\u2019ll tell you what it means. It does not translate to success for the Democrats because up to now, the Republicans haven\u2019t even had a voice. The president hasn\u2019t had a voice except for Twitter.<\/p>\n

The Republicans haven\u2019t been able to cross-examine.<\/p>\n

Nobody has seen any of this testimony.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all the result of Adam Schiff leaks to the New York Times and Washington Post and CNN. When the Republicans and the president (if the day ever comes) get their shot at this, these numbers are gonna change dramatically — and here\u2019s another poll. “More Americans…” Here\u2019s the headline: “Associated Press\/NORC Poll: Solid Support for Trump Impeachment Probe<\/a> — More Americans approve of the impeachment investigation than disapprove of it, but only a third say it should be the top priority for Congress.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meaning it ain\u2019t a big deal. Most people think that this is not the thing Congress ought to be doing. It\u2019s like I said yesterday, it wasn\u2019t that long ago that when your state was on fire, your congressional delegation would be there. Your congressional delegation would flee Washington, would get back to the state that\u2019s on fire and make sure that they are seen on TV standing near the flames and promising whatever it takes to put \u2019em out.<\/p>\n

Where was the California delegation yesterday when the state\u2019s on fire?<\/a> In Washington trying to nail Donald Trump. So I called \u2019em out on this, and Pelosi has been forced to respond to it. We have the audio sound bite. She\u2019s not responding to me per se, but I don\u2019t know anybody else who was making the point yesterday. There may have been somebody. But, anyway, the point was driven home that while California was burning, the California delegation was spreading lies about Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., and didn\u2019t appear to care one bit about the flames scorching the state of California!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
