By the way, this place, the New York Economic Club\u2019s a famous Economic Club. This is where John Kennedy made his famous tax cuts speech back in 1962. And it sounded Reaganesque. Just a little trivia for you. Trump gave this speech today shortly after this program began. We have a few bites, and here is the first.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uYmTMNGe-Ww\" width=\"625\" height=\"325\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>THE PRESIDENT: Under the last administration, nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs had been lost, almost five million more Americans had left the labor force, 10 million people had been added to the food stamp roles. The so-called experts said that America had no choice but to accept stagnation, decay, and a shrinking middle class as the new normal. That was said all the time. In short, the American people were told to sit back and accept a slow, inevitable decline. But I never believed for one moment that our magnificent nation was destined for a diminished future.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, this is cool. Trump\u2019s taking it to Obama on the eve of impeachment, on the eve of the impeachment show, Trump is taking it to Obama. \u201cThe so-called experts said America had no choice but to accept stagnation, decay, and a shrinking middle class as the new normal.

Obama and his crew were going to shepherd us through this new reality, that America\u2019s best days were behind us and the best days behind us were not really deserved. We didn\u2019t deserve all that prosperity. We didn\u2019t deserve all those good times because we were basically a nation that had committed sin along the way.<\/p>\n<p>This is what young people are being taught in universities, what they\u2019re being taught in high school. It was what Obama was saying as part of his message. Economic growth was a paltry 1%. When that happened, it was time to celebrate. But Trump is not exaggerating here. And now he points out that he changed all that.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: In 2016 I stood before you supremely confident in what our people could achieve if government stopped punishing American workers and started promoting American workers and American companies. I knew that if we lifted these burdens from our economy and unleashed our people to pursue their ambitions and realize their limitless potential, then economic prosperity would come thundering back to our country at a record speed. Today I\u2019m proud to stand before you as president of the United States to report that we have delivered on our promises and exceeded our expectations by a very wide margin. We have ended \u2013<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right on. Right on.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: I was waiting for that. Thank you.

Folks, you just don\u2019t do this. You\u2019re just not supposed to do this when the deep state\u2019s after you. When the opposition party\u2019s after you, when Washington\u2019s after you, you\u2019re supposed to be contrite.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re supposed to take a low profile. You\u2019re supposed to make it very, very hard to notice you. You\u2019re supposed to get out of the way. You\u2019re supposed to beg for forgiveness. You\u2019re supposed to sue for peace. Instead, on the eve of this gigantic impeachment charade show, Trump is taking it right to them, and he\u2019s spiking it right back down the Obama administration\u2019s throat.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: At the highest level of that past administration you would need a magic wand to bring back manufacturing jobs. Well, we brought \u2019em back, and we brought \u2019em back to over 600,000 manufacturing jobs as of today.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Nearly seven million people have been lifted off, very importantly, food stamps. Seven million people off of food stamps.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Nearly 2.5 million Americans have risen out of poverty. The rate of African-American and Hispanic-American families in poverty has plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded by far.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-328291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-111219-Trump-Speech-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-111219-Trump-Speech-001.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-111219-Trump-Speech-001-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Right on. Right on. By the way, it\u2019s enemy territory. The New York Economic Club. These people don\u2019t know where to go. They don\u2019t like Elizabeth Warren. They don\u2019t like Plugs. They think Plugs may be safer because he\u2019s more malleable and will be more out of the way. They are begrudgingly applauding Trump here. But everything Trump is saying is dead-on right.<\/p>\n<p>African-American, Hispanic unemployment, record lows, record lows since we began keeping those records. Six-hundred-thousand new manufacturing jobs, Obama said &#8212; and he was in Indiana when he said this. He was making fun of Trump. (doing impression) &#8220;What\u2019s he gonna do? Wave a magic wand? Yeah. Bring those jobs back. I hate it to tell you, those jobs aren\u2019t coming back. Those jobs are gonna be replaced by new kinds of jobs, robots and all kinds of things, but they\u2019re not coming back. What\u2019s he gonna do? Wave magic wand?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Exactly right. No magic wand here. Just the reinvestment in capitalism. Simple reinvestment in conservatism principles brought to us by Donald Trump. Next he\u2019s bragging about pulling out of the Paris accords. You don\u2019t do this. Shortly after we learned that Tillerson and Kelly were trying to undermine Trump pulling out of the Paris accords, trying to undermine Trump pulling out of the Iran deal. It\u2019s the day before the impeachment charade begins and Trump is ramming it down their throats reminding everybody that we pulled out of this phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock &#8216;n\u2019 roll communist BS Paris accords.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: We withdrew from the one sided, horrible, horrible economically unfair, close your businesses down within three years, don\u2019t frack, don\u2019t drill, we don\u2019t want any energy, the horrible Paris climate accord that killed American jobs and shielded foreign polluters was a disaster for this country. You\u2019re talking about trillions and trillions of dollars of destruction would have been done to our country with the Paris climate accord. And it is so unfair. It doesn\u2019t kick in for China until 2030.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And they\u2019ll ignore it even then because they were just half-baked signatories to it. So this is classic Trump. Now, he delivers this not in a fire and brimstone way. He just very methodically plunges in, reminds these people what all he has done on the eve of this bug-eyed little nerd from California trying to force him out of office. I like it. I like it. It\u2019s great, great positioning.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand you\u2019ve got substantive, applied economic principles resulting in a revitalized and growing American economy. And over here you\u2019ve got some lying little sack of excrement trying to run some impeachment show to overturn the election results of 2016. Now, I\u2019m gonna remind you again. And don\u2019t think this doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>Somebody in a sound bite earlier today &#8212; it was Bret Baier. It was Bret Baier, he was asking Harold Ford. How does all this impeachment stuff play into the 2020 Democrat presidential primaries? And it\u2019s a great, great point, because it doesn\u2019t! These people on the campaign trial &#8212; Pocahontas, Plugs, Bernie, Mayor Pete, they\u2019re trying to talk about things that people vote on, like jobs, Medicare for All, massive tax increases, all the things they believe in.<\/p>\n<p>In Washington, the Democrat Party is singularly devoted still to try to overturn the election of 2016. There\u2019s a giant disconnect even within the Democrat Party. And the Democrat Party in Washington is what\u2019s going to take on the identity of the Democrat Party running for president. And they\u2019re doing nothing! The Democrats in Washington are doing nothing for the American people.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I resent that the idea of government is to do things for the American people understand. But on this I have to acknowledge that a lot of people look at government that way and the Democrats are doing diddly-squat. They\u2019re paying zip, zero, nada attention to the economy, jobs, to prescription drugs, to health care, whatever it is in matters that are really important to the American people. The Democrat is wordless. They are absent. It\u2019s all impeachment show all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, here\u2019s Trump at the New York Economic Club, substantive economic achievements and accomplishments, rattled off one right after another. It\u2019s an interesting contrast. The Democrat Party has become vacant. They have become poisoned with the hatred that they have. They are not even making a phony effort at making voters think that they have any interest in them.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats are engaged purely and solely in things they care about, and they\u2019re using public money to do it. And they\u2019re hanging their presidential candidates out to dry. It\u2019s so bad for the presidential candidates, they\u2019re looking for alternatives, like Hillary, like Bloomberg. It is a mess. Do not think these people are winning, my friends, because they are not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You&#039;re just not supposed to do this when the deep state&#039;s after you.
