RUSH: I just got an email. “You sound mad.” Well, I am mad. But it\u2019s a good mad, folks — and it\u2019s an enthusiastic mad. It\u2019s an embellished mad. It\u2019s an energized mad. I\u2019m mad that everybody is falling for this in the wrong way. This is so obviously a made-up scam. Here. Paul Sperry had a tweet at about 10:45 this morning. “In CNN interview this a.m., Clinton consultant Paul Begala said he met privately w Nancy Pelosi right after the Dems won the House in 2018 to discuss impeaching President Trump.<\/p>\n

“Begala also said Dems will have to keep impeaching Trump if he\u2019s not removed & is reelected,” which we had that aspect of the sound bite. This is something they have been planning regardless of substance. They are doing this because Trump won. Now, look, folks, I understand. I understand the need that some people feel to refute every charge the Democrats make, such as the president… But here\u2019s how futile it is.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the phone call. The transcript of the phone call\u2019s been released. There\u2019s nothing criminal or impeachable in the phone call. And everybody who\u2019s read the transcript knows that that\u2019s the case. And yet what are the Democrats doing? The Democrats are fabricating! They\u2019re literally lying. They\u2019re making up what the president said on that call. And the media is amplifying it. And our side is duly reacting to it and duly responding to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Well, you have to respond to it. The way to respond to it is not to accept their premise. The way to respond to it is accuse \u2019em of doing what they\u2019re doing. They are making things up. They are fulfilling a political objective they\u2019ve had since the moment they realized they\u2019d lost the election in November of 2016. The impeachment of Donald Trump is not because he\u2019s a bad president. It\u2019s not because he\u2019s broken the law. It\u2019s not because he\u2019s committed any impeachable offense.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s because they don\u2019t like him. It\u2019s because they hate him. It\u2019s because they hate you. I mean, going back and forth on the phone call is kind of futile. It\u2019s a futile exercise, because it\u2019s not gonna change the way the media and the Democrats are reporting it or talking about it. They\u2019re gonna keep lying about it. They\u2019re gonna keep making up things about it. They\u2019re gonna keep going back to Russia because that\u2019s where they really think the gold mine still is.<\/p>\n

Do you realize, folks, that I have heard there may be, in one of the articles of impeachment, that Trump committed an impeachable offense when he told a joke about asking the Russians to find Hillary\u2019s emails? Now, the moment that happened in the campaign, I remember, he was at Doral. He was down in Miami, and he was just toying with \u2019em. He was having fun. This is another thing. They have no sense of humor at all, and especially when they are the butt of the joke.<\/p>\n

But do you ever see…? These three witnesses, did you ever see any of them smile? They\u2019re not happy. They are permanently, constantly enraged. Even when they win, they are permanently, constantly enraged. Because nothing is ever enough for them because they don\u2019t want this country to be a representative republic. They don\u2019t want you to have a choice.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t want you to have the chance to reject them. They are offended they have to run for election. They are offended the American people have a say in whether or not they run things. Do not doubt me. They are that arrogant. They are that hate-filled. They resent everything about this country that can result in them losing. That would mean they resent elections. They resent votes.<\/p>\n

They resent opposing media. They resent opposing points of view. They resent differing opinions. They resent anything that denies them their authoritarian positions on things — and Donald Trump is that in spades. Donald Trump represents everything they hate about this country. It\u2019s all encapsulated in everything Trump did.<\/p>\n

A. He ran.<\/p>\n

B. He won.<\/p>\n

C. He defeated them.<\/p>\n

D. He actually has the audacity to implement the agenda he ran on, which isn\u2019t theirs.<\/p>\n

E. He actually is succeeding in doing that.<\/p>\n

F. He\u2019s a gotta be stopped.<\/p>\n

\"\"Not because of a phone call to Ukraine, and not because he so-called meddled in the election.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gotta be stopped because he\u2019s denying them what they think is theirs. They can only achieve what is theirs if they permanently transform this country away from its founding principles. That\u2019s what makes me mad, and that\u2019s what offends me because that\u2019s what they are doing. They are not coequal participants in the democratic process. They are trying to undermine it. Everything about their behavior since election night 2016 has been specifically about undermining the democratic process.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what needs to be said about them. Not point-by-point refutations of their allegations. Who the hell are they? Who the hell are they to say what Donald Trump can or can\u2019t do in a phone call with the president of Ukraine? Who the hell are these professors? What gives them the right to have the permanent, final word in what Donald Trump can and can\u2019t do? That\u2019s the power, by the way, they invested in Robert Mueller.<\/p>\n

They wanted Robert Mueller to be a daily, ongoing judge and jury of Donald Trump\u2019s presidency. Any other Republican who happens to be elected president is gonna face this kind of thing until they are dealt with and made a permanent minority, electoral minority. They can only get what they want if they undermine the founding principles of this country. That\u2019s the course they have set for themselves. That\u2019s the political objective they have.<\/p>\n

They simply refuse to accept losing elections now. That is why we\u2019re where we are. If they were coequal participants in the democratic process in a representative republic, having lost the election in 2016 they would have immediately began to find out why. Why did they lose? Why did the American people reject them? And then go about trying to find out ways to get those people back. That\u2019s not what they\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

\"\"Their entire political purpose since election night 2016 has been to deny the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump that vote. Their existence has been to undermine it and to overturn it. They don\u2019t have to bend to the will of the people. They don\u2019t have to care what the American people want and don\u2019t want. They don\u2019t have to deal with the rejection of the American people. The American people have no right to reject them.<\/p>\n

The American people should not have a say in what Democrats do and what Democrats\u2019 policies are. If they could… What the Democrats are doing is trying to eliminate any form of opposition. At some point — and I have said this before, and I have been pooh-poohed when I\u2019ve said it. But I\u2019m gonna stick with it. It may not happen in my lifetime, but the day is gonna come where the Democratic Party tries to make the case that elections are detrimental to the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019ll do it by talking about the kind of people who are voting. And they\u2019ll characterize them as uninformed because they listen to Limbaugh or Fox News or whatever they say. “They\u2019re not properly informed on civics. They\u2019re not properly educated. They are hate-filled racists and bigots — and until we prevent these kinds of people from voting, America will never reach its full potential,” blah, blah. It\u2019s gonna be something like that. Or worse.<\/p>\n

But the day is gonna come.<\/p>\n

\"\"If they lose enough elections, it\u2019s gonna happen sooner than you think, because what the Democrat Party is about is eliminating anything in their way to achieving total dominance and power. Now, don\u2019t tell me they love America like we do. They love America maybe for different reasons. They love America for what they want it to become. But having no border security? Having no border at all. Having no concern for common citizenship, common values. They have a different version or view now of what this country ought to be — and the democratic process where they can lose is not in the long-term picture.<\/p>\n

They resent having to run elections. They resent having to engage in them. They resent having to take the chance they might lose, because they resent you, when you vote against them. They have no humility or hubris. They are not interested in trying to figure out how to win you back. They want to punish you for rejecting them. That\u2019s what this is right now.<\/p>\n

People, “How could they do this? How could they destroy Christmas?\u201d How could they destroy Christmas? They don\u2019t even believe in it, for crying out loud. How can they destroy Christmas? Christmas is nothing compared to what their objectives are. They\u2019re miserable and they\u2019re unhappy, and by God, you\u2019re gonna be too. If they can\u2019t have what they want, neither can you.<\/p>\n

I have been warning people about the trend lines of the American left and its takeover of what was once the Democrat Party for a number of years. And I know a lot of people still think that I am way over the top in my characterization of these people and their desires and ambitions. All I will say is don\u2019t doubt me. The evidence is right in front of us. It may be hard to swallow, hard to accept, \u2019cause then you have to deal with it, and a lot of people would rather not.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So the IG report is due Monday. Guess what Pelosi has announced? New impeachment hearings on Monday. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. You know, people our side, \u201cBoy, I didn\u2019t see that coming.\u201d Why not? What do you mean we didn\u2019t see that coming? You think these guys are just gonna sit around and let the IG report have unopposed exposure to the media? She\u2019s gonna do something to allow CNN, the New York Times, and the rest to not cover it, to not give it prominence, which tells us that they\u2019re really worried about it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to the phones. Sean, Portland, Oregon. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, mega dittos, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir. Same to you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, I had a quick point. In regards to Professor Turley\u2019s comment yesterday during the testimony<\/a>, in the summary he kind of said — trying to bring rationality to the whole discussion, said, “I got it, we\u2019re mad, my wife\u2019s mad, my daughter\u2019s mad, even my Labradoodle\u2019s mad.” And I heard that, and I went, \u201cOkay, I go to what you\u2019re trying to say, but I\u2019m not mad. I\u2019m happy.\u201d I heard that and, you know, I\u2019m kind of grown weary of the left and their shallow people looking to take our voice way and imposing on us or projecting on us their seething anger.<\/p>\n
