Rush Limbaugh here, and you are there. And we\u2019ve got broadcast excellence for the next three hours. Great to have you with us. Telephone number, 800-282-2882. You know what I heard? You have that thing ready to go up there, Mike, that tune? Because over the weekend, you know what I didn\u2019t hear? I didn\u2019t hear anybody talk about impeachment. They are talking about the New England Patriots maybe floundering, people talking about Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals bragging about how much money they saved. Nobody\u2019s talking about impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>(playing of song)<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the Rush Hawkins Singers.<\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song)<\/p>\n<p>You gotta love it, ladies and gentlemen. The president of the United States has just told Jerry Nadler to go pound whatever it is he eats. He\u2019s not showing up. These clowns schedule a so-called impeachment hearing. There aren\u2019t gonna be any hearings. They\u2019ve got nothing, folks. It\u2019s totally bombed. This is me saying it. I\u2019m not reflecting anything else I\u2019m seeing in the Drive-Bys, certainly not there, but other places.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-330017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-120219-Pushing-Back-RUSH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-120219-Pushing-Back-RUSH.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-120219-Pushing-Back-RUSH-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>But I think, once again, they\u2019ve fired everything they\u2019ve got and it\u2019s a big, fat zero. People are not even talking about it. They haven\u2019t figured it out yet. I mean, they\u2019re gonna still try to go through the motions. They\u2019re gonna try to make it look like this is a deadly serious thing and that they\u2019re gonna follow through on it, but it\u2019s not gonna end up at all the way they have dreamed about it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, great to be back after the long four-day absence. Great to be back here with you.<\/p>\n<p>The big news &#8212; and I love this &#8212; President Trump and his lawyers have decided not to legitimize the Jerry Nadler hearings by attending. This is the same thing has rejecting the premise, the false premise of a question from a journalist or any other claim. You know, they always come at us, try to put us on defensive by concocting some strange premise and we acknowledge it by answering.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s simply not gonna go. His lawyers are not gonna go. How many times have we been hearing, what Schiff did was unfair, he didn\u2019t have any Trump lawyers, no Trump witnesses, the Republicans couldn\u2019t call any witnesses. So now we go to the Nadler stage. Trump says he\u2019s not even gonna show up. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. This morning the president on the White House lawn under an umbrella. He\u2019s heading over to the U.K. for a NATO meeting.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, how would you like to be Prince Andrew? Your own mother disavowing you, your own family undermining you. He\u2019s the duke of something. They all have titles. The Prince of Wales is Prince Charles. I think this guy is the Duke of York, Prince Andrew. And his own I think nephew was undermining him and told the queen you gotta quick the guy out of the royal household, you gotta kick him out of official royal business, and she did.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump announced he\u2019s going to the U.K. for the NATO meeting, whatever it is, and the first thing that happens is the queen says that\u2019s fine, the Duke of York will not be there. The Duke of York has totally been rejected because of his dalliances with Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Trump\u2019s on the White House lawn today under an umbrella \u2019cause it\u2019s raining and he\u2019s making his way to Marine One before leaving on his trip to London, speaking with reporters. A reporter said, &#8220;Are you concerned, Mr. President, about being out of the country during the impeachment inquiry?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: The radical left Democrats, the do-nothing Democrats decided when I\u2019m going to NATO &#8212; this was set up a year ago &#8212; that when I\u2019m going to NATO, that was the exact time. This is one of the most important journeys that we make as president. And for them to be doing this and saying this and putting an impeachment on the table, which is a hoax to start off with.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h6x6L_ArNW8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you noticed, there was breaking news today. The Ukrainian president came out and said very strongly that President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. That should be case over. He said President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong and that should end everything. But it will never end it because they want to do what they want to do. They\u2019re getting killed in their own districts. I think it\u2019s gonna be a tremendous boon for the Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Another reporter then said, &#8220;Well, why don\u2019t you send one of your lawyers to represent your point of view to the House impeachment inquiry?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Because the whole thing is a hoax. Everybody knows it. All you have to do is look at the words of the Ukrainian president that he just issued, and you know it\u2019s a hoax. It\u2019s an absolute disgrace what they\u2019re doing to our country.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That is absolutely true. Do you realize that through all this, there isn\u2019t a single shred of evidence for any allegation they have made? That has not changed. Hey, Mr. Snerdley, did you see the news over the weekend that Gordon Sondland has been accused of sexual harassment by three women at the European Union office or wherever his headquarters &#8211; (interruption) No, of course he\u2019s not gonna resign, but talk about a quid pro quo. Three women &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; there you go. If you\u2019re looking for a quid pro quo, we may have found one.<\/p>\n<p>Poor Gordon Sondland, he came out, he tried to get on the Democrats\u2019 good side, he kept the exculpatory statement out of his opening statement, i.e., when Trump said (paraphrasing), &#8220;I don\u2019t want anything. I don\u2019t want a quid pro quo, I don\u2019t want anything, just tell the Ukrainian president do the right thing.&#8221; He didn\u2019t put that in his opening statement during the Schiff hearings, and it was completely exculpatory for Trump. Did everything he could to straddle the line. Gordon Sondland wanted to appear to be on Schiff\u2019s side and then on Trump\u2019s side. He was trying to balance it because his wife\u2019s hotels are being boycotted because he\u2019s on Trump\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>And then after it, how long have they been waiting to accuse Gordon Sondland of sexual harassment? After he testifies and didn\u2019t do the job, none of their witnesses did. Anyway, folks, the White House lawyer, Pat Cipollone, wrote a five-page letter to Jerry Nadler in which he said this baseless and highly partisan inquiry violates all past historical precedent, basic due-process rights, and fundamental fairness.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that Nadler has provided only vague details about the hearing and that the deadline didn\u2019t give Trump and his team any time for preparation. The letter points out that Nadler purposefully scheduled the hearing for when Trump would be in London attending a long-planned NATO meeting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-322498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091819-Nadler.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091819-Nadler.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091819-Nadler-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Now, for all intents and purposes, folks, the hearings are over, which is why Nadler is not going to say who he\u2019s going to bring in as new witnesses beside the so-called constitutional scholars he\u2019s gonna have appear tomorrow. As I mentioned last week, you know the case is weak when they have to bring in some think tank gurus to explain what high crimes and misdemeanors are, when they have to start explaining what they\u2019re doing and what impeachment is.<\/p>\n<p>And, remember, it\u2019s a TV show. You\u2019ve got to start out with something that\u2019s gonna attract and hold the audience, and that ain\u2019t gonna do it. People aren\u2019t watching these hearings that have taken place to date anyway, not in anywhere near enough numbers to have them impact public opinion. I don\u2019t think these things are hearings anyway.<\/p>\n<p>And I saw a piece by<a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/latimestot\/2019\/12\/02\/impeachment-inquiry-probe\/\"> Andrew Malcolm today at HotAir.com<\/a>. I saw it today, I don\u2019t know when he wrote it. But he said, &#8220;You know what? I\u2019ve had it. I\u2019ve had it with all these investigations.&#8221; See, everything is an investigation now. There isn\u2019t anything that\u2019s not an investigation. And none of them ever turn up anything. They are a total waste of time. They are a disservice to the American public. They are a disservice. They take people out of the jobs they\u2019re supposed do and they stymie actual work getting done. And that\u2019s absolutely right.<\/p>\n<p>And Schiff\u2019s investigation and hearings and now whatever Nadler\u2019s gonna do is a classic illustration of this. This is what happens when you politicize basic policy differences. And what we have now is the attempt to criminalize any policy that the left or liberals or Democrats disagree with and the investigation of people who hold those views.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what the problem is, folks, for them? They have promised, the Democrats in the media have promised everybody, including their base, they have promised &#8212; we\u2019re up to now four years &#8212; they have promised revelation after revelation after revelation of high crimes, misdemeanors, bribery, fraud, extortion, rape, you name it. They\u2019ve accused Trump virtually everything, hiring prostitutes to urinate on a bed Obama slept in in Moscow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/latimestot\/2019\/12\/02\/impeachment-inquiry-probe\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-329980\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-Hot-Air-TEARAWAY-120219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-Hot-Air-TEARAWAY-120219.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-Hot-Air-TEARAWAY-120219-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>They have assured people for four years that all of these things are true. They have co-opted and corrupted the media, or the media has corrupted itself. They\u2019ve about run out of public energy. You can\u2019t go to the well this many times with all of these assurances and all of these promises to get to the bottom of it, to prove that Donald Trump is illegitimate, to prove that Donald Trump did all these things. Four years and nothing? They\u2019re wearing people out. And now here comes another so-called investigation by the round mound of the gavel, Jerry Nadler.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I think Schiff is gonna call a vote, there will be a vote on this, and it\u2019s gonna go to the Senate. There may even be a trial. But, folks, there is nothing there. And I think the president pulling back on even showing up at this thing is brilliant, it\u2019s great. Well, it\u2019s what I would do. It simply rejects the premise. And I think it\u2019s also an indication, that Trump, the White House feel very confident. They\u2019ve not lost anybody.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s now a third poll that shows Trump\u2019s approval rating with African-Americans is at 33%. We\u2019ve got Emerson; we\u2019ve got Rasmussen; and now we\u2019ve got Marist. Three different polls &#8212; and by the way, where\u2019s Pelosi today? Pelosi and her crew are off somewhere on some climate change crusade.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What was it, two weeks ago we prepared an audio sound bite montage to show you the Democrats\u2019 latest attempt at characterizing Trump and you, his base of supporters, which remains solid, unbreakable.<\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest failures of the media and the left is their inability to drive a wedge between Trump voters and Trump. Trump\u2019s popularity among Republicans now remains at over 90%. This is almost unprecedented. And so the word went out. Trump supporters are a cult. I had these montages for you all last week prior to leaving for the Thanksgiving break.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s the latest example of it from PMSNBC host Joy Reid claiming that support for President Trump is like a cult on her Saturday show. She says, &#8220;A lot of ways, if you look at the Public Religion Research Institute numbers, you know it isn\u2019t just a pejorative to say it\u2019s a cult. There\u2019s a lot of evidence that it is a racial and religious cult of personality in which his base is solidly among the white evangelicals of almost worshiping and say that he\u2019s the chosen one of God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-329087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-IMPEACHMENT-HEARINGS-RUSH-SHAM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-IMPEACHMENT-HEARINGS-RUSH-SHAM.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-IMPEACHMENT-HEARINGS-RUSH-SHAM-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>They\u2019re at their wits\u2019 end. I can\u2019t emphasize enough the degree to which they know they have failed. And this is relatively new territory for them even though it\u2019s been three years. Just to restate it because, folks, you may think this is redundant, but it\u2019s important to always keep this in mind as you encounter Drive-By Media presentation of news events or what have you.<\/p>\n<p>Their sole objective from the get-go has been to take Donald Trump out, to reverse the election results of 2016 however, whichever way they can. One of the ways they have tried to do it is to separate Trump voters from Trump. They have failed miserably. Back in the days when they had their media monopoly prior to 1988 they could pretty much destroy anybody they wanted on a whim. Look how long it took \u2019em to get George Bush\u2019s numbers down into the thirties, took \u2019em almost six years to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we\u2019re into four years, and they haven\u2019t budged Trump and even during this so-called presentation of all of this horrible news, Trump supposedly cheated, worked with the Russians, withheld money from Ukraine, whatever it is, whatever lies that they have perpetrated, not a single one of them has worked. They have not made a dent in either Trump\u2019s overall approval number or support for Trump among his own base voters. And now they are at their wits\u2019 end.<\/p>\n<p>And so what do they do? Instead of trying to find out who these people are and literally making a decent pitch at them, they do what the left and the media always do, and they start insulting people. And it backfires on them. And they haven\u2019t come to grips yet with the idea that they simply cannot shape public opinion and events with the ease they used to be able to do so.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Mr. Snerdley came in today and said, &#8220;You know, I can\u2019t find anybody talking about impeachment. Everybody\u2019s talking about either the Patriots or Cyber Monday and Black Friday.&#8221; And I have to admit, you know, my tech blogs, none of them have anything but deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Every post is about how you can save money. It\u2019s like their readers are broke and in poverty and have no money to spend on anything.<\/p>\n<p>All it is, is where you can go get whatever you want for the least. There\u2019s no news on anything out there other than this. You know what the lead story on Drudge is right now? The Patriots and Tom Brady\u2019s anemic offense. That\u2019s the lead item. I couldn\u2019t find anybody talking about impeachment. Some friends of mine had a party Saturday, 60th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The president of the United States has just told Jerry Nadler to go pound whatever it is he eats.
