RUSH: CNN poll: Support for impeaching and removing Trump has dropped nine net points since last month. It falls now to 45 to 47. It was 50 to 43 in favor. It\u2019s now 45-47 against. Support for impeaching Trump has even dropped among Democrats from 90% to 77%. This is a direct reflection on Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler. By the way, the IG report has totally exposed Nadler as a full-fledged, 100% liar. This is great. I\u2019ve continued to dig into the IG report.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Rules Committee at the House today is meeting to discuss the parliamentary procedures for presenting the full articles to the full House for vote, and they are continuing to lie through their teeth about the supposedly misconduct of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I can give an example. Nadler cannot be at the Rules Committee hearing today because there\u2019s some sort of family emergency in New York. I don\u2019t know what it is. Doesn\u2019t matter. So Jamie Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, is taking his place. And these people are just lying through their teeth. They are continuing to lie through their teeth.<\/p>\n

This guy said the president has abused his office, engaged in misconduct, and they give the quote where the president said, “Look at Article II. I can do anything I want.” They know they\u2019re lying about this! He didn\u2019t say he can do anything he wants. It was in the context of an interview two different times. One with George Stephanopoulos in which he\u2019s saying Article II gave him the power to fire Robert Mueller if he wanted to, could do anything he wants regarding Mueller. They know they\u2019re taking that out of context. They know that they\u2019re lying about this.<\/p>\n

And if they\u2019re lying about one thing, you have to assume they\u2019ll be lying about a lot of things. The one thing that is unmistakable in all of this, they don\u2019t even have a crime. They do not have an impeachable offense. The second thing that Raskin did, they\u2019re still repeating the Trump joke, that Trump asks Russia to go find 30,000 Hillary emails and five hours later, the Russians hacked the server.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not possible. When Trump cracked that joke, the DNC server had already been hacked, it had already been shut down. We still don\u2019t know who really did it. But it was out of the way. Trump\u2019s cracking a joke and making fun of the media and making fun of the Democrats, and these clowns throw it in their articles of impeachment. They\u2019re just lying through their teeth. And it\u2019s over and over and over again, and the media, of course, enables it, trying to make it look like it\u2019s real, and none of it is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We have Rob in Boca Raton. Rob, great to have you on the program. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s great to talk to you, Rush. My concern is twofold, that, one, all the lies that the Democrats are putting out there, Americans are just hearing these sound bites and these headlines, and they\u2019re not going in to really find out what\u2019s going on. And the second thing is that there are pockets of the left that are just gonna storm the polls.<\/p>\n

I just came from New England on a business trip. I couldn\u2019t believe the people up there. They actually believe the things that people like Congressman Cicilline says to \u2019em, and just some things that their governor says to them. They just lie about Trump. Conservatives need to be strong, and they need to storm the polls themselves and make sure this guy gets elected.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why do you assume that the Democrats are more energized and ready to go than Trump voters are?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Trump voters, and I think sometimes Republicans, they sit back and they think, “Okay. We got this won. It\u2019ll be okay.” These leftists, they are so radicalized that they\u2019ll do anything, they\u2019ll stuff the ballot box. I\u2019m worried that there are some places around the country where we\u2019ve seen it over the years that they\u2019ll stuff the ballot box. But if you come down here to Florida, South Florida, wow, you see the economy booming. They\u2019re putting up housing sites three, four hundred houses at a time like they used to do back when I first came here in the eighties.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you know how many job openings there are in the country right now? I saw this just this morning. Over seven million jobs are open. That\u2019s seven million jobs that cannot be filled. That aren\u2019t enough workers to fill them. We\u2019re at full employment. The economy is booming so well. You know, you tell me that they\u2019re energized in New England. They\u2019re always gonna vote Democrat there no matter what. They can be as energized as they\u2019ve ever been, it\u2019s not gonna change anything.<\/p>\n

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, those places are gonna vote Democrat no matter who\u2019s on the ballot. Could be Dr. Manhattan from Watchman on the ballot, and they would vote for him, Mr. Blue. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something to get alarmed about to find out a bunch of rabid liberals in New England are rabid liberals. They\u2019ve constantly been rabid liberals.<\/p>\n

I think the great secret in this upcoming election is how ticked off Trump voters are and how many new ones there are going to be. And I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s aware of what efforts are being made at every Trump rally to identify first-time voters and turn \u2019em out. I think you can sit there, you can react to the media making it look like Trump\u2019s already lost, but I wouldn\u2019t fall into that trap if I were you. Not by a long stretch.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I am told that Doug Collins, the ranking Republican member here on the Judiciary Committee, is a witness today. The House Rules Committee is putting together the parliamentary procedures for submitting the two articles of impeachment, determining what will be permitted in terms of length of time for debate, whatever other rules there are prior to the vote on these two articles.<\/p>\n

This started before the program began. And I basically saw the Democrat witness, who was just lying through his teeth again about Trump claiming Article II lets him do anything. He never said that, never even got close to meaning what they say he said. And then they cite the Trump joke about, “Russia, if you\u2019re listening, maybe you can find Hillary\u2019s emails.” By the time Trump cracked the joke, Hillary had already taken a hammer and BleachBit her server. Her emails had been dispensed with. If they\u2019re lying about those two things continually, they\u2019re probably lying about everything else.<\/p>\n

So Collins got a question from the actual ranking member of the Rules Committee, Tom Cole, Republican, Oklahoma. Question: \u201cIs there any actual evidence that the pause, the delay on the Ukrainian money, the security assistance \u2013” meaning the aid, the foreign aid \u201c– is there any evidence that the pause in Ukrainian foreign aid was for the president\u2019s improper personal political benefit or might he have had other reasons for temporarily withholding the aid?\u201d<\/p>\n
