First up, Van Jones. Early this morning on CNN, Special Coverage: 2020 Presidential Election.<\/p>\n<p>JONES: I think a lot of Democrats are hurt tonight. I think there\u2019s a lot of hurt out there. There\u2019s a moral victory and there\u2019s a political victory, and they\u2019re not the same thing. The political victory still may come, but I think for people who saw babies being snatched away from their mothers at the border, for people who are sending their kids into schools where the N-word is now being used against them, people who have seen this wave of intolerance. They wanted a moral victory tonight. We wanted to see a repudiation of this direction for the country, and the fact that it\u2019s this close? Uh, I think&#8230; It hurts. It just hurts. There were people who were hoping for a big repudiation, and that has not yet come.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-372375\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnn-van.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnn-van.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnn-van-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnn-van-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, you see, folks? I told you. They are devastated. This didn\u2019t end up like they dreamed it would, like they hoped it would, like they thought it was going to. They thought the people of this country were gonna repudiate Donald Trump. They were gonna send him packing. They thought Trump was gonna get such an embarrassingly low percentage of the vote that Trump, that Trump wouldn\u2019t even wait \u2019til January to leave.<\/p>\n<p>That Trump would just say, &#8220;You know what? I guess they don\u2019t want me. I\u2019m leaving.&#8221; That\u2019s what they were hoping for. They really were, something like that. They were hoping it\u2019d be so bad that Trump would resign in disgrace. They\u2019ve been hoping this since Inauguration Day 2017. Do not doubt me. All the rest of this is just gobbledygook.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For people who saw babies being snatched away from their mothers at the border&#8221;? You gotta go back to the Obama administration for that, Mr. Jones. Those cages and those pictures of babies in cages are from 2014, Mr. Jones. They\u2019re from the Obama regime. Trump didn\u2019t do any of this. Now, I don\u2019t know what the hell you are talking about.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People send their kids to schools where the N-word is used&#8221; as a routine matter of course? I\u2019ve not heard of that. I\u2019m generally pretty well informed. I\u2019ve not heard of this. Where is this happening? Well, I firmly believe they think it is. They have lied to themselves about so much and who Donald Trump is and what Donald Trump wants to do and what Donald Trump\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re so irrational that they are off the charts. They\u2019re bordering on clinically insane. They have had four years of compressed &#8212; I mean, seriously compressed &#8212; hatred coursing through their veins. They were so certain that there was going to be a blue wave last night &#8212; massive, massive landslide for Biden. This comment, by the way, from Van Jones proves that this election is not even about Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>This is not about a bunch of people who love Joe Biden. It\u2019s not about a bunch of Democrats that love Joe Biden and want Joe Biden in the White House \u2019cause they love what Joe Biden\u2019s gonna do. They don\u2019t give a rat\u2019s pip-squeak about Joe Biden! This was anti-Trump. This was &#8220;We hate and despise Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what this election was, and they didn\u2019t get satisfaction. They did not finish the night pleased. In their minds, Biden is gonna win, and they\u2019re not happy. What have I always told you about these people? They are never happy! You can\u2019t make them happy. They\u2019re not constitutionally capable of it. Here\u2019s Barry Diller&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Barry Diller used to run Fox way, way back in the old movie days. Now he runs something called IAC, Expedia. It\u2019s a digital media company, the Home Shopping Networks. He was on CNBC today. The cohost, a guy named Andrew Ross Sorkin, said to Barry Diller, &#8220;You woke up this morning and you\u2019re thinking what?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-372374\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnbc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnbc.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnbc-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110420-cnbc-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>DILLER: I\u2019m humbled by all this. I had hoped for a repudiation for all the reasons that are kind of obvious. The only way for me at least to think about this is being humble about the fact that this is a divided country in the extreme, that there is no repudiation of someone that I have felt for a very long time is a bad character.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I find this so interesting. I mean, here\u2019s Barry Diller, who is a product of Hollywood, running around talking about bad character (Snort!), and he thinks that bad character is somehow exclusively owned by Donald Trump. They can\u2019t find a thing on Trump, and I refuse to believe that Barry Diller was ever offended by the Access Hollywood video.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t make me laugh. Don\u2019t try to tell me that these Hollywood moguls with their casting couches and devotion to Harvey Weinstein would be offended by Trump and Billy Bush talking about women as they get off a bus in the NBC lot in Hollywood. I just don\u2019t believe that what Trump said would offend any of these guys.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That would make them concerned about the character of the man in the -&#8221; these are the people that supported Bill Clinton, for crying out loud. These are the people that wanted to be with Bill Clinton when he was shtupping Lewinsky. These are the people that wanted to travel with Clinton when he was on Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s plane. These are the people that may have been at Epstein\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing concern about the character of Donald Trump? Don\u2019t make me laugh. (interruption) No, I\u2019m not saying Trump\u2019s a choirboy, but, for crying out loud. Ex-Hollywood moguls of the Harvey Weinstein era &#8212; and I\u2019m not saying Barry Diller is a Harvey. I\u2019m just saying they knew what Weinstein was doing and nobody did anything to stop him. But all of a sudden we can\u2019t have &#8211; &#8220;Well, Rush, Harvey Weinstein was not in the White House.&#8221; Yes, he was. He was all over the White House with Bill Clinton. He was one of Bill Clinton\u2019s most favorite donors. Weinstein was all over the place. I don\u2019t know if he was at Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s place, but we know Clinton was.<\/p>\n<p>How in the world can you sit there and express all of this shock, disappointment over the character of Donald Trump when the favorite president you\u2019ve ever had, Bill Clinton, is Bill Clinton? For crying out loud. Monica Lewinsky, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick. Look at the women\u2019s lives who have been destroyed by Bill Clinton. These guys didn\u2019t say a word when it was happening. And now they are terribly distressed, terribly overwrought that Donald Trump was not reputed. Oh, what it means for our divided country.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-275651 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-060518-Clinton-Weinstein-clr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-060518-Clinton-Weinstein-clr.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-060518-Clinton-Weinstein-clr-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And Barry Diller, the only way for me at least to think about this is being humble about the fact that this is a divided country in the extreme and that there is no repudiation of someone that I have felt for a very long time\u2019s a bad &#8212; What about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and all of the tricks they\u2019ve been playing to enrich themselves? And you don\u2019t think that there is anything questionable about that? You\u2019re not worried about voting for or supporting that?<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Diller, you guys out there, you end up calling us racists, you call us worse names than that, homophobes, bigots, you expect us to just sit here and go, &#8220;Oh, yeah, I guess that\u2019s what they think.&#8221; Screw it. We\u2019re not racists. We\u2019re not bigots. We\u2019re not sexists. We\u2019re not homophobes. We\u2019re none of these cliches that you throw at us, that you\u2019ve been throwing at us my whole life.<\/p>\n<p>After I met Barry Diller the first time, it was at a dinner party. He won\u2019t remember this. &#8216;Cause he didn\u2019t know who I was. I mean, the radio show had started, but he couldn\u2019t have cared less, which is no big deal. But afterwards he said to Roger Ailes &#8212; they were friends &#8212; he said, &#8220;You know, I kind of like that guy.&#8221; He\u2019s not a hater. Meaning me. And Ailes told me this like I should be proud. Barry Diller says you\u2019re not a hater. Why should I be proud of that, that Barry Diller thinks I\u2019m not a hater? What does he think every other conservative is? So I get a badge of honor for not being a hater?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s kind of like when Al Gore, Clinton\u2019s vice president, has a debate going with Jack Kemp, who\u2019s Bob Dole\u2019s vice president, during the debate, Al Gore says, &#8220;Jack, you\u2019re a good guy. You\u2019re not a racist like some of these others.&#8221; &#8220;Thank you, Al. I appreciate that.&#8221; Yeah. Limbaugh, he\u2019s not a hater. He\u2019s a conservative. That\u2019s bad enough. But he\u2019s not a hater.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t hate anybody, and I\u2019m not a racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe, none of us are. We sit here for 30 years and have to listen to you people that think you\u2019re highbrow, holier-than-thou, better than anybody else talk this way? And we\u2019re just gonna sit here and repudiate the one guy standing up for us? It ain\u2019t gonna happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They are devastated.
