RUSH: Well, the times in which we live become even more surreal, become even more unbelievable, and it\u2019s mind-boggling to say the least. Now, I\u2019m gonna try my best here to make sense of what\u2019s happening today and every day. But I\u2019m telling you, the Democrat Party and the American left have embarked on a crusade to literally deny reality at every turn. And in some ways, you\u2019d have to say that they\u2019re getting away with it because of the friends they have in the media.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, great to be with you, folks, as it always is. Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network. Happy to have you. Telephone number, if you want to be join us when we get to the phones is 800-282-2882. If you want to send an email, have at it. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n

A little housekeeping. I went out yesterday and indeed — Brian, you were right — my CarPlay app works fine<\/a>. But on my iOS 14 beta iPhone, I still got the banner that said, “Please check your connection.” But I clicked on one of the tabs up there and it connected and I got the list of things I could choose to listen to, hour 1, hour 2, and the banner went away.<\/p>\n

So if you got the Rush Limbaugh app and you try using it with CarPlay in your car and you see a banner when you load the app that says “Please check your connection,” ignore it, just click on one of the tabs at the top of the screen and it should go away.<\/p>\n

Okay, now, the surreal nature of what\u2019s happening out there is … folks. I\u2019ve not experienced anything like this. And so trying to explain it in a persuasive way is gonna be a challenge. For example, the Democrat Party is, for all intents and purposes, doing everything it can to say there is no violence happening in any city in America at any time. There are no riots. There is no looting, and there hasn\u2019t been any. There are no firebombs. There\u2019s no tear gas. There\u2019s nothing but peaceful protests. That is all that is happening.<\/p>\n

Anything to the contrary is a Republican lie. Anything to the contrary is a Donald Trump lie that is an attempt to divide America and to somehow pit Americans against Americans for the purposes of winning the presidency and reelection in November. But, of course, there aren\u2019t any peaceful protests. Of course, there are riots. There is property damage. There is endless looting. In Portland, 55 nights in a row of it. Seattle is close second.<\/p>\n

There was rioting and looting in New York that was televised, but the Democrats are even now denying that that all happened. So today there\u2019s a hearing up on Capitol Hill before a House committee, the Judiciary Committee. And it\u2019s chaired by this raving idiot, Jerry Nadler, who, by the way, was delayed today because he was in a car accident on the way to Capitol Hill. They were supposed to start the thing at 10 o\u2019clock but Nadler was in a car. He wasn\u2019t driving. He wasn\u2019t hurt. So I guess by the end of the day there will not have been a car accident.<\/p>\n

So Nadler gets up there and they start this thing. It\u2019s supposed to start at 10:45. It starts a little later. It\u2019s ongoing even now. Every network covered it at the beginning. That is highly unusual. The witness is the attorney general, William Barr. And there\u2019s been all kinds of advance leakage of what Barr is going to say and what he\u2019s going to testify to. And he is going to take it to these Democrats for the fact that they are lying about the federal government trying to protect its property in these places, like Portland and Seattle. He\u2019s gonna launch into them about this bogus four-year investigation of Trump meddling with the Russians and stealing the election. He\u2019s gonna unload on them.<\/p>\n

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

That\u2019s what we were told and what has been leaked. And I don\u2019t doubt that that\u2019s true. The Democrats on this committee are loaded for bear. So every network is covering the opening of this. And Nadler — remember, Nadler\u2019s the guy that was caught in a random interview in Washington<\/a> I think yesterday, he was asked, “What do you think about all of this out of control rioting and looting going on in Portland?”<\/p>\n

He said (paraphrasing), “It\u2019s a myth. There isn\u2019t anything going on in Portland and nothing going on in Seattle.” The Democrats are denying reality here. They\u2019re taking it to a new level, a level that we haven\u2019t had to deal with. This is a more outrageous or egregious denial of reality than even their attempt to say that Trump meddled with the Russians and stole the election. Because this, there is video, there is video of the property damage. There\u2019s video of the violence. There\u2019s video of the fires. There\u2019s video of the Molotov cocktails.<\/p>\n

And yet they are in a total state of denial because they\u2019ve got their buddies in the media who are not broadcasting the video. Right-wing so-called media is, but the mainstream media is not. So with all the networks covering the opening of the hearing, Nadler accused the attorney general of everything you could possibly think of that equals corruption of his office.<\/p>\n

He accused him of only caring about things that might help Donald Trump get reelected. He practically accused Barr of being Trump\u2019s personal lawyer and thus corrupting the Department of Justice and the office of the attorney general. And every network is covering this. So he unloads with one lie after another about Barr.<\/p>\n

In the real world, William Barr is one of the most respected people in that town, or he was. He\u2019s in the same class, integrity and honor, as Robert Mueller was or maybe still is. Barr has been in that town engaged in public service, working at the Department of Justice, working as the attorney general for previous presidents. Up until all this, up until Donald Trump, he was one of the most respect people in town. And it didn\u2019t matter which side of the aisle you were on.<\/p>\n

But, of course, with the arrival of Trump, all of that old stuff, all the integrity, all the honor and the people who had it, out the window. And if you happened to be on the side of Donald Trump, supportive of Donald Trump, then you lose every bit of the reputation you ever had, and you become an absolute worthless reprobate. And that\u2019s what William Barr has become. That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to turn him into today. They\u2019ve tried to turn him into that even before today.<\/p>\n

So Nadler unloads with one lie after another about Barr, about how he\u2019s corrupting justice to help Trump, about how he\u2019s interceding to help Trump\u2019s friends, like Michael Flynn and then Roger Stone. He\u2019s being accused of all kinds of things that he hasn\u2019t done. He\u2019s being accused of all kinds of things he would never do. But the networks are covering it in toto.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then when Nadler finishes, it\u2019s time for the Republican member, Jim Jordan, to have his turn in an opening statement. And Jim Jordan launches into a defense of Barr, an attack on the Democrats, tells the truth about the four-year phony investigation of the Democrats into Trump-Russia collusion. The networks start to abandon coverage.<\/p>\n

Then Jordan introduces an exhibit. It is a video montage, the idea of which — obviously — was stolen from this program. We created the audio montage of… I\u2019m joking. We are honored and flattered whenever anybody uses this montage as a technique. In fact, when Jordan started the exhibit, I got a note from Cookie. “Oh, no! Oh, no! I can\u2019t believe it!”<\/p>\n

I said, “What\u2019s the matter?”<\/p>\n

“I just finished our own montage of this, and now it\u2019s on…”<\/p>\n

I said, “Don\u2019t worry about it. We don\u2019t care what anybody else does. Our montage is the only montage that counts. Everybody knows we started the montage. It\u2019s a device we created. We created, actually — at Rush the TV Show and so forth — all kinds of stuff that is now mainstream. I said, “Don\u2019t worry about it.” But it was a long exhibit.<\/p>\n

It was a montage of every Democrat you could think of and every member of the media you could think of saying these are “mostly peaceful protests.” But the footage that accompanied that audio was of violence and destruction. It featured property damage. It featured what we all know to be happening in Portland and in Seattle. So the video footage showed the actual damage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It showed the rioting. It showed looting. It showed the Molotov cocktails being thrown. It showed the tear gassing. It showed what looks like a war zone — and yet the audio was of Democrats saying, “mostly peaceful protests.” Now, the purpose of this was to educate the American people. The American people have not seen this.<\/p>\n

If you listen to this program and watch Fox and others, you\u2019ve seen the video. You know what\u2019s going on in Portland. But I\u2019m telling you, people that only watch ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, have no idea what\u2019s going on in Portland, folks. They think what\u2019s going on in Portland is largely peaceful, predominantly white women who are upset at white privilege.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re embarrassed and they\u2019re feeling guilty, but there\u2019s no damage taking place, and there\u2019s no property damage. There\u2019s no destruction. Nobody\u2019s getting hurt. There\u2019s no fires. It just peaceful protests. That\u2019s what people watching mainstream media know.<\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s our montage that Cookie put together, and it\u2019s 39, 40 seconds, but it makes the point, because you have been fed — we\u2019ve all been fed — this line of BS for weeks now that all of this happening in Portland, Seattle is just mostly peaceful protests.<\/p>\n
