<\/p>\nRUSH: This Bill in Buffalo. Great to have you, sir. Thank you for calling.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, Rush. Don\u2019t the Democrats realize that President Trump didn\u2019t even intend any quid pro quo, bribery or extortion, and that no reasonable prosecutor would even bring such a case? It sounds —<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: It sounds like the Democrats care more about digging up dirt on their political rival, President Trump —<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s like I said. They\u2019ve got evidence out the wazoo, but it\u2019s all evidence against Democrats. They got evidence against Hillary, evidence Comey, evidence against McCabe, Clapper, all of that<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, they\u2019re digging up more on President Trump through hearsay, and they care more about that than legislating for the benefit of the American people.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, there\u2019s no question that that is a great point to make. They\u2019ve set everything aside and they\u2019re using taxpayer dollars for their own political purposes. But, you know, the question you ask: Are the Democrats hoping to make…? What are they really doing here? What do you think…? We know how full of holes all this is substantively, and we know that as a TV show there\u2019s nothing compelling, there\u2019s nothing magnetic, there\u2019s nothing that people cannot tear themselves away from here. This is not anything like it was hyped up to be. So what are they doing? In your estimation, Bill, what\u2019s the purpose here, and how are they going about it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I think they\u2019re trying to influence the people that may not have the intelligence nor the perspicacity to realize what\u2019s going on here. And like you said before so well, Rush, they probably want to try to influence a few Republican, weak RINOs to kind of go along to their side.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. I think that\u2019s the objective. I think they\u2019re going after low-information voters, trying to make \u2019em think something happened here by dazzling them with all of these really super professional diplomats — and whatever number of frightened, scared Republicans can be had. But they\u2019re doing it with what? What do they have here, Bill?<\/p>\n
CALLER: It doesn\u2019t seem like there much there, sir. (chuckles) I don\u2019t know. (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH: Based on… They\u2019ve got nothing! My point all along from the beginnings of this is there has never been anything. The Steele dossier was it, and that was manufactured and made up, and we know how they used it. We know that it\u2019s option research, Hillary campaign — and now the phone call. The phone call is this issue\u2019s dossier, and they\u2019re having to make up… Just as they did in the dossier, they\u2019re having to make up what was in that phone call — despite the fact there\u2019s a transcript of it. They literally have nothing.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a heck of a realization. They\u2019ve got nothing. They are reduced here to continuing to try to create this grand image or illusion of Trump criminality, malfeasance, unfitness, whatever it is. They\u2019re literally — with the aid and assistance of the media — attempting to create a false premise. They literally have nothing that they\u2019re trying to make people believe is real. We\u2019ll have to wait and see toward the end of the day, tonight, tomorrow, what the media can do with this that\u2019s happened here today — and I\u2019m gonna withhold predictions on that.<\/p>\n
As I look at CNN and their chyron graphics, they\u2019ve got nothing. Like right now: “Questioning underway in first public impeachment hearing.” Questioning underway? That\u2019s what they\u2019ve had up for six hours. They don\u2019t have a blockbuster pull quote from anything anybody has said. They don\u2019t have the equivalent of, “Kavanaugh raped me and started a rape train and spiked the punch and left me on the side of the road to die!” They don\u2019t have the equivalent of that. They made that up in the Kavanaugh hearings.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t even have the equivalent. They don\u2019t even have the equivalent of, “Nixon ordered me to break into the Democrat National Committee headquarters and then he ordered Rose Mary Woods to destroy the tapes proving he did it.” They don\u2019t have a semen-stained dress. They don\u2019t have anything. Now, the media\u2019s gonna try to manufacture something out of this, and they\u2019re all desperately hoping that in the remaining hours of this thing today that some bombshell happens.<\/p>\n
But right now… (interruption) Well, that\u2019s another thing. That\u2019s another thing. The Democrat presidential… “What\u2019s Biden think about this?” Biden\u2019s probably… If he knows that it\u2019s happening, he\u2019s probably thankful that they\u2019ve run cover for him on his kid. But Fauxcahontas and Mayor Pete have got to be, I think, a little distressed. There\u2019s nothing to take from these hearings today to the campaign trail that I can see. But, again, the day\u2019s not over, and the media manipulators have yet to begin to try to manufacture something out of this. We have to withhold judgment until we see how they try to manufacture this.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: By the way, folks, one thing: Bill Taylor\u2019s testimony about Sondland and what Sondland told him and all this back and forth. Jim Jordan was talking about five conversations, six people, a bunch of hearsay? That conversation was not even about the phone call.<\/p>\n
All of this hearsay was about something entirely unrelated. It was about what Taylor said that he heard five weeks later in September. It wasn\u2019t even about the phone call. This thing is so all over the ballpark. They are desperately searching for anything — and I\u2019m gonna tell you: No chyrons on CNN is not good. People walked through airports are not seeing blockbuster headlines on CNN about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
