I was explaining to everybody in the sold-out ballroom at The Breakers hotel and resort here in Palm Beach that it isn\u2019t hard. Defending Donald Trump is nothing more than defending ourselves, defending the people that voted for him.<\/p>\n<p>Last night Trump had a rally in Kentucky, and Rand Paul, the senator from Kentucky, showed up, and I want you to hear it because this is how you do it. This is how easy it is. I can\u2019t tell you the number of people, &#8220;Rush, Rush,&#8221; emails, &#8220;Rush, did you see Rand Paul last night? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Rush, oh, my God.&#8221; It\u2019s so rare that somebody defends Trump that everybody that saw it wanted to make sure I saw it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still amazed that people can possibly believe I don\u2019t know something that\u2019s happening out there, but still those people exist. They\u2019re trying to help. I understand that. But it\u2019s not hard to do. And Rand Paul\u2019s getting fed up that nobody\u2019s doing it, either. Here is what he said from the stage at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, last night.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RandPaulRallyApp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RandPaulRallyApp.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/RandPaulRallyApp-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\nPAUL: President Trump has great courage. He faces down the fake media every day. (cheers) But Congress needs to step up and have equal courage to defend the president. (cheers) The whistleblower needs to come before Congress as a material witness because he worked for Joe Biden at the same time Hunter Biden was getting money from corrupt oligarchs. I say tonight to the media, do your job and print his name!<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: Do your job! Do your job! Do your job!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do you hear that crowd? Do you hear that crowd?<\/p>\n<p>PAUL: And, I say this to my fellow colleagues in Congress, to every Republican in Washington, step up and subpoena Hunter Biden and subpoena the whistleblower.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And that\u2019s it! That\u2019s all anybody has to do! It isn\u2019t hard. It is not hard. Defending Donald Trump is the same thing as attacking the corruption in the Democrat Party and on the left, and that\u2019s exactly how it\u2019s done. And if that kind of chorus could begin, the Democrats would not have a chance, and the media would not be able to avoid it. Just one senator.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CSTWHRLEqCo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And, by the way, I have to tell you that over the course of the years &#8212; Snerdley, you\u2019d agree &#8212; Rand Paul\u2019s not been a prominent Trump supporter. He has been, but he was not on the early list. He had to be persuaded to come over, but he\u2019s all-in now. But this, to me, is as simple as two and two is four. Defending Donald Trump is not hard because defending Donald Trump is defending us, defending ourselves, the people who voted for him.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump, when he\u2019s attacked, it\u2019s us being attacked, folks. He\u2019s the vessel for the hatred they have for us who elected him. As I\u2019ve said over and over, Trump is transient. All presidents are. They serve four years or eight and then they move on. The people that elect these presidents, you and me, we are forever! Well, in the political sense.<\/p>\n<p>And this movement of Trumps, another point that I made to the august gathering of elites at the National Review Institute, that this Trump voter group out there is not going anywhere. This movement existed before Donald Trump came along. He had the brilliance to tap into it. And it\u2019s not the Tea Party. The Tea Party may have some foundational aspect to it. But defending Trump is easy. Attacking the left is required. It is a must.<\/p>\n<p>I was watching CNN yesterday, and I didn\u2019t mention this yesterday because it ticked me off, frankly, and I didn\u2019t want to be ticked off when I saw it, so I forgot it. I didn\u2019t forget it. I moved it to the side. I made it not a priority. CNN ran \u2013 I\u2019m gonna paraphrase here &#8212; they ran some kind of a chyron headline: \u201cTrump Defenders Down to Their Last Stand. \u2018He did it, but it\u2019s not impeachable.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cWhat the hell? Where\u2019s that coming from?\u201d I don\u2019t know anybody out there acknowledging that Trump, quote, did it, unquote, and that the thing is it\u2019s unimpeachable. I don\u2019t know where that\u2019s coming from. And I haven\u2019t seen it anywhere but CNN.<\/p>\n<p>But congratulations and thanks to Rand Paul. What would you rather have, that or Mitt Romney out there running around doing the kind of silly things that he\u2019s doing and some of these other Republicans scared to death of their own shadows? It isn\u2019t hard. And more than that\u2019s required.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Back to Rand Paul here for just a second. One of the things that he demanded was the whistleblower\u2019s identity be made public, demanding the media do that. Everybody knows who it is. We\u2019ve told you the name. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/11\/04\/everybody-knows-the-whistleblower-is-eric-ciaramella\/\">We\u2019ve outed the whistleblower. Everybody knows the name<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a big misunderstanding about whistleblower protection. The whistleblower\u2019s name is not withheld for personal privacy reasons. You know why whistleblowers\u2019 names are withheld? It\u2019s to protect their jobs. It\u2019s to protect them from being fired. It\u2019s not to protect their identity! That\u2019s the sole reason. And it\u2019s not me saying this.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Whitaker, who is the deputy attorney general before Trump appointed Barr permanently to the gig, he was on Fox News yesterday and made the point that whistleblower identity protection is not for identity. It\u2019s to make sure he doesn\u2019t get canned. There\u2019s no way this guy\u2019s gonna get canned. He\u2019s back at the CIA anyway. He long ago was sent packing because the guy has been leaking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/11\/04\/everybody-knows-the-whistleblower-is-eric-ciaramella\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-110119-Pajama-Ciaramella.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-110119-Pajama-Ciaramella.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-110119-Pajama-Ciaramella-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>This whistleblower leaked a lie to the New York Times that Donald Trump was told by Vladimir Putin to fire Comey. The New York Times ran with it. Everybody else picked it up. It was a lie. He was sent packing. It was in 2017. There is no requirement the whistleblower\u2019s name be protected for simple privacy reasons. It\u2019s job protection. You might say, \u201cWhat\u2019s the difference?\u201d It\u2019s a big difference. And Rand Paul calling for the identity, the media knows who it is.<\/p>\n<p>We have a call. I want to grab this call before we go to these audio sound bites, I promise. This is Trish, who is on her way to Louisiana for a Trump rally. Trisha, great to have you on the program with us. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Good. So I was at the rally last night. It was my 25th rally, and never, in all the 25 rallies I\u2019ve been to, have I heard the crowd go that wild when Rand Paul insisted that we make the media do their job. People were screaming at the top of their lungs. The stadium was shaking. It was unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019ve been to 25 Trump rallies?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir. And I\u2019m on my way to the 26th.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So you\u2019re driving? You\u2019re driving down to Louisiana?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir. I\u2019m somewhere in Kentucky on the outskirts of Kentucky heading into Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s what I call devotion.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I love this president.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I mean, some people go to every Major League Baseball park in their lives. You\u2019re going to every Trump rally you can.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, when you were there and Rand Paul came out with his defense of Trump and his demand that the media do their job, on the audio that I just played, it did sound like the place erupted.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, it did. It was louder than anything at any rally I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpKYRallyCrowdShot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpKYRallyCrowdShot.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpKYRallyCrowdShot-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Well, now, that\u2019s saying something because these rallies are all loud. They are all filled with excited, exuberant people. So that\u2019s saying something if that moment was louder than anything you ever heard.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What did that mean to you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It meant that the people were taking a stand and that they were not gonna allow the media to run this impeachment inquiry. They were not going to allow this to happen, and I\u2019m telling you, we\u2019re standing up and we\u2019re going to stop it. There is no way they\u2019re going to get away with this. No way.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Trisha, thank you. That\u2019s exactly right. Folks, the reason that I moved Trisha up in advance of when I was gonna start taking calls was that very statement. It was louder than anything. People are clamoring for Trump to be defended because they know what\u2019s at stake here. They are clamoring for it. When Rand Paul came out and did it and when he called out the media, that place erupted.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the reason this is a big deal is that many people think that they are the only ones who see things or feel things or think things. I can\u2019t tell you the number of times: \u201cRush, you gotta tell people X, Y, you gotta tell \u2019em.\u201d It\u2019s what they personally think. And I say, \u201cEverybody thinks that.\u201d &#8220;Okay, good. I don\u2019t know.&#8221; And the reason you don\u2019t know that everybody thinks that is because the media doesn\u2019t cover you. The media doesn\u2019t go out and cover your reaction to things.<\/p>\n<p>And if they happen to see it when they\u2019re doing something else they impugn it and laugh at it, say it\u2019s no big deal, just a bunch of crazed people in a cult, something like that. But the fact of the matter is I\u2019ve told you people are seething with rage out there over this. Millions of people are seething, and they\u2019re getting angrier and angrier every day as the media continues its basic unfairness and its outright lying, its outright character assassination and its willing participation in a coup to overthrow and overturn the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>People know that that\u2019s what this is and they are fed up with it. And whenever there is an opportunity for them to express the sentiment like last night, they do it. That\u2019s why I want to play these sound bites of the Drive-Bys going out and talking to people in battleground states desperate to find people who hate Trump, desperate to find evidence that the media is succeeding in creating hatred for Trump and opposition to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Grab the Rand Paul sound bite, number 14. I opened the program with this. This certainly deserves being repeated. One of my often-shared laments &#8212; and not just now, but over the years &#8212; has been the reluctance of Republicans to defend their presidents or themselves &#8212; or, if I might even say, their reluctance to defend their friends in the media when they\u2019re under assault.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s gotten so bad lately that last week and the week before &#8212; and maybe even three weeks ago now &#8212; the Drive-By Media was filled with stories, &#8220;Republicans are saying how difficult it is to defend Trump. It\u2019s getting harder and harder to defend Trump.&#8221; It just infuriated me because it\u2019s not hard to defend Trump. The Never Trumpers are people supposedly bright. How in the world can they cite one thing about the leftist alternative that they would prefer? How do you not defend Trump? How do you not defend yourself?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpKYRallyPointApp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpKYRallyPointApp.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TrumpKYRallyPointApp-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>It isn\u2019t hard to do, and I want to show you how it sounds when it\u2019s done, and I want you to listen to the audience reaction when it happened. This is last night at the Rupp Arena in Lexington. Trump had a rally for the governor, Matt Bevin, running for reelection. He brought Rand Paul up to stage, and Rand Paul let loose, and I want you to listen not just to what Rand Paul says. Listen the reaction in the sold out, standing-room-only crowd.<\/p>\n<p>PAUL: President Trump has great courage. He faces down the fake media every day.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (cheers)<\/p>\n<p>PAUL: But Congress needs to step up and have equal courage to defend the president.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (roaring cheers)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Listen to that crowd!<\/p>\n<p>PAUL: The whistleblower needs to come before Congress as a material witness because he worked for Joe Biden at the same time Hunter Biden was getting money from corrupt oligarchs.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (grumbling and boos)<\/p>\n<p>PAUL: I say tonight to the media: Do your job and print his name!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Listen to this!<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (cheers) Do your job! Do your job! Do your job!<\/p>\n<p>PAUL: And I say this to my fellow colleagues in Congress, to every Republican in Washington: Step up and subpoena Hunter Biden and subpoena the whistleblower.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (cheers)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right there it is. There\u2019s much more to gain standing up and defending Trump, and if you don\u2019t want to defend Trump, attack the people who are attacking us! It isn\u2019t hard to do. Rand Paul just did it, and I told everybody at the beginning of the program, I was inundated beginning last night with people. &#8220;Rush! Rush! Did you hear Rand Paul? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You gotta play Rand Paul. Oh, my God. It was great.&#8221; People have been crying for this. They have been hoping that something like this would happen.<\/p>\n<p>Rand Paul has shown that it isn\u2019t hard to do, and he\u2019s also demonstrated that you\u2019re not gonna get beat up for doing it. You\u2019re not gonna get savaged. You\u2019re gonna be appreciated! So let that be a lesson. &#8216;Cause this has been, as you well know, a big bugaboo of mine. (sniveling) &#8220;It\u2019s becoming so hard to defend Donald Trump.&#8221; No, it\u2019s not. It isn\u2019t hard at all! All you have to be able to do is defend what you believe! I have a piece here. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/11\/04\/10-reasons-i-like-donald-trump-from-a-female-former-democrat-immigrant\/\">There\u2019s a story here from The Federalist,<\/a> &#8220;a female, former-Democrat immigrant&#8230;&#8221; Aw, darn, the name of the author didn\u2019t print. I will find it.<\/p>\n<p>I never heard of her before. I\u2019ll find her name. &#8220;10 Reasons I Like Donald Trump, From a Female, Former-Democrat Immigrant.&#8221; But there\u2019s one line in here about the Never Trumpers and how in the world they can\u2019t defend him. She can\u2019t understand why they don\u2019t defend him and why they are doing nothing. Let me run through the ten things, the ten reasons. &#8220;First, he is sui generis,&#8221; one guy &#8220;a singularly unique individual who has single-handedly transformed almost everything about American politics&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TRUMPKYRALLYSTRAIGHSHOTAPP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TRUMPKYRALLYSTRAIGHSHOTAPP.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TRUMPKYRALLYSTRAIGHSHOTAPP-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>&#8220;Second, by loudly questioning everything in his unorthodox way he has made us re-examine many things: our bloated bureaucracy, some of our egoistic federal civil servants who believe they\u2019re in charge of our [country], the much-vaunted liberal international order&#8230;&#8221; Man, that\u2019s a big one. That could be number one in my book. &#8220;[B]y loudly questioning everything in his unorthodox way he has made us re-examine many things: our bloated bureaucracy, some of our egoistic federal civil servants who believe they\u2019re in charge of our republic&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These are the people testifying to Pencil Neck\u2019s committee: The interagency national security group. They think they run foreign policy. They think they run the country. When Trump doesn\u2019t use them and uses somebody else, he\u2019s doing impeachable things &#8212; and, of course, Trump has made many people reexamine the liberal international order that John McCain was so insistent on protecting. Saritha Prabhu, P-r-a-b-h-u. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/11\/04\/10-reasons-i-like-donald-trump-from-a-female-former-democrat-immigrant\/\">Saritha Prabhu is her name<\/a>. &#8220;Third, he loves America, and his love is genuine, palpable and almost retro. We could do with a little of that nowadays, swimming as we are in a sea of self-loathing, self-flagellation, and history-rewriting from the left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Boy, is that powerful. The left is so self-loathing. But what does that mean? It means they hate themselves. And the way they manifest that, we\u2019re still a slave state, we\u2019re still bigoted, we\u2019re still racist, we\u2019re still imperialist, we\u2019re still colonialists. Even though we\u2019re not, they hate. They hate themselves, and they beat themselves up as a way of beating up the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFourth, he says what he thinks.\u201d He is remarkably accessible. That\u2019s true too. There\u2019s never been a president that talks to the media more. He loves every question. He loves it. He loves talking and paring with these people. He\u2019ll take any question they ask him, and he\u2019ll tell them exactly what he thinks. She says here he\u2019s \u201cthe only president who can\u2019t seem to resist answering questions thrown at him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, he is a non-ideologue. Meaning he\u2019s not conservative or liberal, not ideological. That\u2019s a point I\u2019ve been making from the get-go, that he\u2019s not an ideologue. The things he believes are things in his heart but it\u2019s not because he\u2019s a conservative he thinks things. It\u2019s that what he thinks happens to be conservative, but he may not even put it in that framework. Doesn\u2019t matter. Doesn\u2019t matter what label he gives himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSixth, his care for American voters seems genuine, especially toward the people who voted for him and show him unflagging support.\u201d What have I told you? At every one of these rallies there is a bond Trump has with these people that voted for him and that attend these rallies, and he makes a point, it might be 30 seconds, might be two minutes, might be a half hour, but he lets them know how deeply he appreciates them.<\/p>\n<p>Appreciates them being there, appreciates them showing up, appreciates them voting for him. He lets them know. They know that he cares for them and deeply appreciates. \u201cSeventh, he has had the greatest influence, perhaps, in transforming how we talk about needless, endless foreign military incursions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eighth, he has challenged the ChiComs. Ninth, he says he\u2019s president of America, not president of the world. And she writes here: \u201cIn a sane, common-sense world, Trump\u2019s recent United Nations address touting these ideas would be lauded; instead they were pilloried as isolationist and dangerous. But that is the cognitively dissonant media world we live in now &#8212; what is pragmatic is framed as radical and transgressive. Tenth and lastly, I like his chutzpah and pugilistic style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then she throws in she doesn\u2019t like or agree with everything he\u2019s said and done, he\u2019s got ethical and moral failings like anybody else in D.C., but with a difference. He\u2019s not a hypocrite about it.
