<\/p>\nRUSH: Here is Mel in Littleton, North Carolina. Great to have you on the program. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush, thank you, man. I just want to let you know that, you know, you and Trump are the only voices out there speaking out loudly. And somebody needs to get on these weak-ass Republicans they have put into office, whether they\u2019re governors, mayors, whatever other representatives, to start speaking up, because the only reason the Democrats feel so loud is because there\u2019s crickets. No voices coming from the Republicans at all.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, first thing, I appreciate that very much. But I gotta tell you, Mel, that there\u2019s a lot of people that are speaking out, speaking up, in conservative media. I could mention the names. If I started mentioning names I would leave some out, not purposely, and then they would be offended. But I tell you, we got some great people that are doing their level best to inform as many millions of Americans as possible. You got Hannity. You got Tucker Carlson. You\u2019ve got Mark Levin. I mean, I don\u2019t know where to stop with this. There\u2019s all kinds, you got local hosts of a conservative bent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I appreciate your comment. But what your point really illustrates is, there aren\u2019t any Republicans that are pushing, elected-class Republicans. Look, there\u2019s Jim Jordan, who does yeoman\u2019s work. Rand Paul occasionally. You have Louie Gohmert, who, by the way, tested positive for COVID-19 today at the White House. We\u2019re waiting to hear whether he\u2019s suffering symptoms or not.<\/p>\n
He was at the Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday. And he was at the White House today \u2019cause he was gonna fly on Air Force One with the president to Texas \u2019cause that\u2019s where Louie is from. And everybody has to take a test when you go to the White House. And he tested positive. So we haven\u2019t heard any more details about Louie\u2019s condition. I\u2019m surprised the virus had the guts to invade Louie\u2019s body, but apparently it hadn\u2019t gotten the message.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
At any rate, your point that the Democrats seem so loud because it\u2019s their elected officials that are making all their noise. Now, the media, of course, is the Democrat Party as well. But where is our version of Pelosi? And I don\u2019t just mean our speaker because it\u2019s Kevin McCarthy who is the leader of the Republicans. Where is somebody who is as omnipresent as Pelosi? Where is our version of Schumer?<\/p>\n
Now, the Republicans will tell you, in their defense, \u2019cause I\u2019ve raised this with them, they will tell you that they don\u2019t get covered. They\u2019ll call a press conference, they\u2019ll be all assembled, and they\u2019ll say what they think about things, and the media either doesn\u2019t cover it or gives it scant coverage while mocking it and making fun of it. And to a certain extent that\u2019s true, but there are ways to get noticed. There are ways to make the media cover you. It\u2019s who you attack and how. But it clearly appears to be an unbalanced playing field.<\/p>\n
But as far as voices, I mean, Laura Ingraham, Shannon Bream. I could mention a whole bunch of people at Fox. Jesse Watters. Jesse Watters is a great up-and-coming, I think destined for greatness down the road at Fox News. So, it\u2019s not that there\u2019s an absence of voices. And, by the way, I think all these voices combined in so-called conservative media are effective.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason Trump won. He\u2019s largely the reason, he\u2019s the one who got the votes, don\u2019t misunderstand me. But while everybody thinks that all is lost, the country\u2019s lost, our party\u2019s lost, everything we believe in\u2019s lost, you\u2019re just falling prey to the exact reason the media does what it does, to dispirit you and depress you.<\/p>\n
Yet Trump won. He won in 2016. He\u2019s gonna win in November. “But, Rush, we lost the 2018 midterms.” Yes. And that\u2019s what happens historically. I just got word that Louie is asymptomatic and feeling great. So, for those of you in Rio Linda, that means he\u2019s not feeling any effects of the virus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
