RUSH: There is another story — actually, I don\u2019t know how this one got past Bloomberg. Bloomberg News said that they are going to not cover the Democrats anymore because their boss and founder is in the race, Michael Bloomberg. They were only gonna cover Trump. Remember that?<\/a> They\u2019re not gonna cover the Democrats because they don\u2019t want to be accused of bias.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t think they could go in there and be critical of any Democrat because Doomberg\u2019s their boss. But no such problem exists covering Trump, so I\u2019m kind of surprised this one made the cut.<\/p>\n

Before I forget this, I saw a tweet. Well, that\u2019s the wrong way to put it. I don\u2019t read Twitter, I don\u2019t go to Twitter. It is a sewer, as far as I\u2019m concerned. It\u2019s where you go to ruin and destroy your career. See Antonio Brown, if you want evidence.<\/p>\n

So people send me things they see on Twitter. And so somebody sent me a tweet that Byron York put out there. And Byron York\u2019s tweet was essentially: With a couple of more great economic reports like this in the next few months, the Democrats are set up perfectly for being able to start talking about a recession.<\/p>\n

Now, let me ask you, why would that be the case? We\u2019ve got a great jobs number last week, 266,000 new jobs, record low unemployment, three and a half percent, wages skyrocketing. Why would the Democrats be hoping for a couple of more of these? Because about, oh, next June, where else can you go but down? So if they start talking about a recession, if they start trying to persuade people that there\u2019s nowhere to go but down now, yeah, the economy\u2019s really trucking, but we can\u2019t maintain these numbers with Trump\u2019s policies. They\u2019re gonna try to claim this is all the residue of the Obama presidency.<\/p>\n

So I just want you to be on the lookout for that too. They\u2019re gonna start talking. They may not wait for another good economic report. They may take this one and as their reaction to it, start promising, getting all of their economists and experts on all the cable news networks and start predicting the recession is imminent, an economic downturn is imminent, an economic downturn\u2019s unavoidable because we can\u2019t do any better than we\u2019re doing now. So be prepared.<\/p>\n

Now, what will be the answer to that? Well, that\u2019s also easy, if you ask me. Biggest mistake in the world that people in this country could make would be to get rid of the administration and the ideas that created this economic circumstance. Why in the world would we want to go back to the party that tried to tell us that a declining U.S. economy was the new normal and that their job was to manage it and that you should lower your expectations? Because that\u2019s what the Democrats are gonna be offering. Why would anybody want to go back to that?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, this story in Bloomberg. “Don\u2019t Look Now, But Things Are Getting Brighter for Trump.\u201d<\/a> I got a note over the weekend from my good buddy Professor Hazlett who\u2019s now at the University of Clemson. He\u2019s a telecommunications law expert now and economist. When I met him, he was an economist at the University of California Davis way, way back there 1985 I think I met Professor Hazlett. He was back out in California near the UC Davis campus. And he said, “You know you go 10 miles east, you get to Dixon, California.” He said, “You wouldn\u2019t recognize. There\u2019s nothing but America-made cars there and look at this.” And he\u2019s got a picture of a gigantic Ford F-150 with a Rush license plate on it, not bumper sticker, but a Rush license plate.<\/p>\n

And then he said, “Are you responsible for convincing Pelosi to do this impeachment thing?” Meaning everybody knows it\u2019s imploding on them. Everybody except those in Washington. By the way, I was out and about all weekend, and I had not one question about impeachment. Not one. Do you get questions about impeachment when you\u2019re with people?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, what I did get, some guy zooming past in a golf cart recognized me and stopped. “Hey, hey, you gotta get a message to Trump. You gotta tell him to tone it down. You gotta tell him to stop tweeting.” I said, “Oh, no, not this again.” So I explained to the guy why I thought that was not right, why I think Trump should keep being who he is. But nobody\u2019s talking to me about impeachment.<\/p>\n

And who better? I mean, if you care about impeachment and you had the chance to talk to me, you\u2019d bring it up, right? Still nobody. Don\u2019t misunderstand, folks. I\u2019m not off in a dreamland about this. I understand it\u2019s a television show and it\u2019s on all the networks and there are people seeing it. I\u2019m just\u2026 I had to turn it off today. It\u2019s nothing but a pack of lies. It\u2019s nothing but a series of falsely edited videos, misstatements, allegations of what the president\u2019s thinking.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a shred of evidence, and there\u2019s not an impeachable offense that anybody\u2019s been able to identify. I know what this is all about. It\u2019s a continuation of one plan and that is to get Trump on Russian meddling. And I just get frustrated when I see people on our side accepting the premise after premise after trying to refute a bunch of bogus allegations. I guess you have to do that. You know, it\u2019s my own philosophy, the aggressor sets the rules. And Democrats are setting the rules here.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s been going on for three years now and maybe even four, and, to me, it\u2019s now patently obvious what\u2019s going on, and it could be called out without having to be dealt with point by point by point. You know what the Republican defense has been so far today? \u201cAs Professor Turley said.\u201d \u201cAs Professor Turley said.\u201d \u201cAnd as Professor Turley said.\u201d Nothing against Professor Turley<\/a>. Don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Bloomberg story. \u201cDon\u2019t Look Now, But Things Are Getting Brighter for Trump — Fears about the economy have quieted, and impeachment hasn\u2019t been the body blow Democrats were hoping for.\u201d Let me give you some pull quotes from the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cA year ago, the Federal Reserve was about to make its fourth interest rate hike. Stock markets were plummeting. Trump had just declared himself \u2018Tariff Man,\u2019 and the Mueller Report still seemed like it might be a mortal threat to his presidency.<\/p>\n

Six months ago, fears of a recession were rising, driven by worries about Trump\u2019s trade war and the effect it was having on jobs and economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, things don\u2019t seem nearly so bad. Friday\u2019s blockbuster jobs report showed that 266,000 jobs were added last month and unemployment fell to 3.5%, trouncing even the most bullish forecasts and sending the S&P 500 soaring near another record high\u2014of which there have been 26 this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe economy appears to be in a much better place than experts feared: good news for an incumbent president heading into an election year. In its analysis of the November jobs report, Bloomberg Economics lowered its projection of 2020 year-end unemployment to an astounding 3.3 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

They think this is gonna continue. So if the Democrats are gonna run around and start promising a recession in the midst of all this, what are they gonna be seen as?<\/p>\n

Another pull quote. \u201cTrump\u2019s superpower is to polarize absolutely everything\u2014it\u2019s the key to his political survival. That\u2019s how he got through the Mueller Report without incurring any meaningful Republican defections. Currently, there\u2019s no reason to think he won\u2019t be able to pull the same trick when the House and Senate vote on impeachment. So far, his poll numbers have barely budged.\u201d<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve gone up. His approval numbers are going up. Another pull quote. \u201cIn politics, a year is a long time. Plenty can happen to turn a president\u2019s fortunes around. But the latest economic data and polling numbers in states he needs to win reelection suggest the impeachment fight could end with Trump in better political shape than when it began.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
