<\/p>\nRUSH: Democrats are starting to get nervous, starting to get a little angry, a little antsy out there at Nancy Pelosi. Laura Litvan, who is a Senate reporter for Doomberg News, tweeted (this was about an hour and a half ago), “Dianne Feinstein says it\u2019s time for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to send the impeachment articles to the Senate. ‘If we\u2019re going to do it, she should send them over,\u2019 [Feinstein] said. ‘I don\u2019t see what good delay does.'”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And you see where the Turtle said that he\u2019s gonna go ahead and do this trial and not call any witnesses. He doesn\u2019t have to. The Democrats are hoping — (chuckling) they were hoping — that they would be able to fold this Iraqi thing, this Iranian thing into the impeachment process, and that\u2019s kind of blown up on \u2019em like the Hellfire missile that hit Soleimani\u2019s SUV blew up on him. You know, in the real world, I know they pose a great threat. Don\u2019t misunderstand. But they are a walking calamity.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019ll tell you something else. Joe Biden. Joe Biden has had a pretty free run here as a presidential candidate. All of the gaffes have been overlooked, all of the news about his really weird kid. This Hunter Biden guy? This is a weird dude, folks. This is just weird. Stealing the identity of his dead brother and then to marry the guy\u2019s wife, not to mention the Ukraine business. Oh! Did you se, there was an earthquake near an Iranian nuclear facility? Do you think that\u2019s an accident? I wonder.<\/p>\n
Did you also see a Ukrainian airline crash landed in Iran? Of all the airlines to crash land into Iran, Ukraine? People are gonna start asking themselves, “What the hell is with Ukraine? We can\u2019t turn around without Ukraine being in the news,” and then Hunter Biden. Anyway, Plugs was at a thing last night and on three different occasions, confused Iraq with Iran. He meant to say “Iran” and said “Iraq,” and meant to say “Iraq” and said “Iran.” He\u2019s getting \u2019em confused, and he\u2019s had a free run up \u2019til now because the Drive-Bys have been very protective of him, of these kinds of gaffes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019ll guarantee, you let Trump do that. Let Trump make any kind of an average Joe Biden gaffe, and they\u2019re all over him with stories. “Is he losing his mind?” “Is dementia setting in?” You know, all these kinds of things that they\u2019re covering up and hiding and not even broaching with Biden. But now that Crazy Bernie is gaining ground, there is some legitimate fear in the Democrat Party, not just on our side the aisle.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s legitimate fear that Crazy Bernie could literally win the nomination, and the fear is multifaceted. It\u2019s fear over his policies. It\u2019s fear that he would… Some think that he would lose in a gigantic landslide to Trump. But the bottom line is, for a party, the Democrats — who have spent the last three years and counting trying to destroy Donald Trump, trying to ruin his future political prospects. I mean, they\u2019ve literally tried to destroy his career and his life and his family. They are probably feeling pretty impotent now.<\/p>\n
Do you realize that it was only just a few minutes ago that the first Democrat reacted to the Iranians launching their impotent missiles last night? It was Hakeem Jeffries, and it was some blathering on about how Trump\u2019s unfit, “Trump better come tell Congress what he\u2019s gonna do. He can\u2019t just keep doing this kind of stuff. He can\u2019t just keep talking this way without consulting us.” Even though they won the House… You know, these things are all cyclical. I\u2019m telling you today; it could change tomorrow. Today, Pelosi\u2019s sitting on the articles. The articles are not amounting to a hill of beans anyway.<\/p>\n
Feinstein\u2019s saying, “Where are they?” The Turtle is saying, “Bring \u2019em on. We\u2019re not even gonna call any new witnesses.” Josh Hawley, Missouri, with a resolution to dismiss the charges off the bat because it\u2019s got nothing to it. Nothing has gone the way they dreamed it. Nothing has gone the way they planned it. Nothing has gone the way they envisioned it. But most importantly, you know what\u2019s missing? Public opinion. They\u2019re driving public opinion away. They are not creating public opinion on their side.<\/p>\n
And this is what they thought was the bird in the hand. They believe that since they have the media, that they can control public opinion and they can pull levers and change it. And they have launched every weapon they know. They have used everything in their arsenal, and it\u2019s gone — in most cases — the exact opposite of their intentions. Now they\u2019ve impeached Trump, and there\u2019s nothing earth-shattering about it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
People are not acting like it\u2019s a momentous, monumental thing. It\u2019s just another one of the crazy stunts the Democrats have tried and bombed out with. Meanwhile, these areas — in some cases rural but exurban areas outside Democrat cities in states that Trump won, such as Pennsylvania West Virginia — do you realize all of these areas are becoming redder? And many of these communities are home to massive union populations, and they\u2019re all trending toward Trump now.<\/p>\n
And a large explanation for that is the Democrats and their climate change and their running around with energy policy, with Biden telling coal miners, “Hey! Hey! You know, if you can go down 200 feet in a coal mine, learn to code, for God\u2019s sake.” It\u2019s not that learning to code\u2019s a bad thing. It\u2019s the obvious lack of any concern. The Democrats are happily talking about people losing their jobs — union people losing their jobs — because of their energy policies.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Audio sound bite 22. This is Gerry Connolly, Democrat, Virginia, after the White House briefing on the hit on Qassem Soleimani.<\/p>\n
CONNOLLY: Without commenting on content, my reaction to this briefing was it was sophomoric and utterly unconvincing — and I believe more than ever, uh, the Congress needs to act to protect the constitutional provisions about war and peace.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What?<\/p>\n
CONNOLLY: I believe there was no rationale that could — could pass a graduate school thesis test.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-010820-Grab-CNN-Emd.jpg\")
CONNOLLY: I was, well, utterly unpersuaded about any evidence about the imminence all of threat that was new or compelling.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They just handle it! They just can\u2019t handle an American victory. They can\u2019t handle a successful military operation, and they certainly can\u2019t handle a successful Trump operation. (impression) “It was utterly sophomoric. Whoever gave us the data was an idiot!” Snerdley, there it is on Fox right now. There\u2019s the video that I saw last night. See the cheap, SD quality? That\u2019s all it was, looped over and over to make it look like a hundred missiles.<\/p>\n
That was not a part of it. They don\u2019t show any of the hits. They just showed the launches. “I believe there was no rationale that could pass a graduate school thesis for explaining why this took place”? Gerry Connolly, by the way, looks like he would be right at home in the Star Wars bar scene. Back to the phones we go. This is Scott in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Great to have you. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. Hey, how you doing? That sound bite there feeds right into my point. These events over the last week are just another example of why no one should be surprised by the unhinged, irrational behavior of Democrats and the mainstream media. Every Donald Trump success turned them more and more useless, completely neuters them, and is just one more nail in the Democrat coffin. The more conservative policies and principles that get enacted are causing Democrats to fear for extinction.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know —<\/p>\n
CALLER: They\u2019re literally panicked for their existence.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I think it\u2019s a good point. How hard is it…? It\u2019s obviously impossible. It\u2019s obviously impossible for these people to join together and either acknowledge — just acknowledge! They don\u2019t even have to celebrate it. Just acknowledge an American success, acknowledge a successful operation. They can\u2019t even do that! They gotta characterize the briefing as “utterly sophomoric,” and, “Why, it wouldn\u2019t even pass a graduate school thesis.” Graduate school thesis?<\/p>\n
Folks, I don\u2019t know. These people must think that Twitter is majority public opinion. They must think that their base is representative of a majority of thinking in the country. In other words, they must believe that a majority of Americans resents this, opposes this, is afraid of this, is not fooled by this. Otherwise, why do this? They can\u2019t even come together! I\u2019ll tell you, it\u2019s a sad thing, but the observation: We don\u2019t even have a common citizenship in this country, even. We don\u2019t even have that in common.<\/p>\n
Everyone talks about have the ability to cross the aisle, cooperate with the other side to get things done, to show people that Washington can function. What is there in common? They clearly do not think they have anything in common with us, and worse than that, they don\u2019t want to have anything in common. The poisonous ravages of hatred are just on display every time a Democrat in Washington opens his or her mouth.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: The Democrats, they\u2019ve got nothing left. They got no ideas, they got no successes, they have no future, they have no policies. They have nothing positive. They can\u2019t even come together and agree it was a good thing to do to take out Soleimani. Trump has taken everything from them.<\/p>\n
So all they\u2019ve got is to claim that a briefing on the operation was sophomoric, that Trump is stupid, that this is brain science here that we\u2019re talking about? I don\u2019t have time to take the call, but we\u2019ve got caller, apparently Nikki Haley has pointed out that the ChiComs and the Russians are not complaining about our action, that the only complaints are coming from the Democrats, and that has apparently set them off like crazy. But it\u2019s true. The Democrats are the only people complaining about what Trump did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ilhan Omar wearing the turban talking about how the briefing was worthless and we\u2019re no safer than we were yesterday, and we don\u2019t know that taking out Soleimani meant anything. I hope these people keep talking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
