RUSH: So here we go with William in Ashburn, Virginia. Great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s great to be here. I\u2019m gonna try to hold myself together and not get emotional here, but I want to hearken back to your statement about Georgia.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: About the Trump voters.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: And they should be very afraid. Very afraid. Trump and you are all we have left, Rush. We spent our lives voting for these people because they\u2019re not them, and we just can\u2019t do it anymore. We\u2019re tired of being stabbed in the back, Rush. It\u2019s better to have an enemy that\u2019s in front of you than a friend that\u2019s behind you that\u2019s just gonna stab you. They do it every time. We have a Republican-controlled state, and they won\u2019t do an audit of the vote.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t! They just basically told every Georgian that they don\u2019t care. We were in Washington on Saturday, me and my 33-year-old son. We saw more people than we\u2019ve ever seen in our lifetime, ever — and we\u2019re season ticket holders for the Ravens, for gosh sakes. I\u2019ve been in crowds of 80,000 people. I\u2019ve been to Steelers games, for goodness\u2019 sakes. I have never seen so many people. But were there any Republicans there? No. None. None! But —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What…? There were no Republicans? What was this thing that you went to?<\/p>\n

CALLER: A week ago Saturday in Washington, D.C., the MAGA rally. There must have been hundreds of thousands of people there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. A MAGA really. You mean no elected Republicans? Is that what you mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Our party leadership, quote, unquote. If this were a Democrat rally, they would all be there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They were there for the anti-Tea Party movement walking hand in hand up the steps.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No one stands for us, Rush! Only you and Donald Trump. (choking up) God forbid. What do we have left? I love my president. I am not… I am not a revolutionary, Rush, but I would die for my president. This man has given more to this country than anybody, and he has no need to. None. He\u2019s a billionaire. He doesn\u2019t need this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s disheartening.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He didn\u2019t need any of this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, Rush, you\u2019re our last beacon. I mean, I know there\u2019s a place in heaven for you, Rush, and it just pains me every day. And my whole family prays for you because you turned us from being standard Reagan Democrats into real Republicans, and now the GOP turned us all into independents so we can go hide. It\u2019s just disheartening.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m so sorry, Rush.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RUSH: I know it is. Let me tell, for people that missed what you\u2019re reacting to, there was a story, first one I led with tomorrow, the Never-Trumpers — the people that worked to sabotage Donald Trump for four years — are now hoping that Trump voters will show up in the Georgia runoffs on January 5th and elect the two Republicans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They\u2019re admitting that they can\u2019t get these two guys — well, Kelly Loeffler. They can\u2019t get \u2019em elected without Trump voters, and they are hoping that Trump voters will show up. And William here is fed up! Fed up. “You need us? NOW you need us? But you make fun of us and you laugh at us for four years, and you\u2019re not there representing us at all, ever — and now you need us?” and my guess is you\u2019re not really tempted to show up and help them out here because you\u2019re tired of being betrayed and all that. I totally get it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, I heard that last caller was crying. I totally get it, ladies and gentlemen. I have for 30 years. I get it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Our last caller was genuinely in tears over… Well, let me explain what it was about. There are millions of Americans who believe that Donald Trump won the election — there are millions of Americans who believe that he won it handily, and that it has been stolen and taken away from him — and there are millions of Americans who believe that there are a lot of Republicans that don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

Now, that last part has not been mentioned by a lot of people, but it is there, and the people represented by this guy who called — and he represents millions of Americans — don\u2019t understand why the party benefiting from their support has not ever reciprocated, particularly in this circumstance. Where are they? Where have they been? Where were they during the campaign?<\/p>\n

So I opened the program today by pointing out that there are Never Trumpers are all concerned about these two open seats in Georgia, the Senate seats, and that these Never Trumpers are worried that Trump voters might not show up and might not vote for the Republicans and therefore the Republicans might not hold the Senate.<\/p>\n

Now, a lot of people got confused at that because they think the Never Trumpers are totally supporting Democrats, and they think the Never Trumpers are exclusively made up of people like George Conway and Bill Kristol and the rest of these people who have essentially become Democrats — and that would be the Lincoln Project.<\/p>\n

They are by no means the only group of Never Trumpers that exist out there, and it\u2019s not those people who are hoping that you in Georgia — you Republicans, you Trump voters — show up and help. The Lincoln Project Never Trumpers are openly supporting the Democrat Senate candidates. The Lincoln Project Never Trumpers don\u2019t want the Republican Party doing anything but losing everything it can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They want it wiped out so that they can come back in and take it over from the ground up and rebuild it and make it what they want it to be. Even though they have never succeeded once in either running magazines, running cruises, running think tanks, whatever it is they\u2019ve done. They have ever won national anything. They have never been able to do anything without running around with their hands out and asking rich guys to donate money to whatever their project is.<\/p>\n

A magazine, cruises, think tanks, you name it.<\/p>\n

But in their minds, they\u2019re the smartest people in the room. They should be running the Republican Party, but it\u2019s gotta be totally wiped out. But there are other Never Trumpers that are not like those people at all in many ways. When you think of Never… I don\u2019t know who you think of when you think of Never Trumpers, but, folks, they\u2019re everywhere out there.<\/p>\n

And the group I\u2019m thinking about out here, the group I\u2019m talking about when I say Never Trumpers are all concerned that the Trump voters will now not show up and help the two Republican candidates win the Senate seats — you know, Perdue and Loeffler. That comment is what made the guy call the program. It was all… It was the last straw. You heard the pain in that man\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n

I felt it.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we had a caller who asked if anybody else cares, and the answer is that we do care. We care so much, our souls hurt. So thousands and thousands of people went to Washington to show support last weekend, and not one elected Republican could show up and talk to them — the people who have made it possible for them to win elections.<\/p>\n

Yeah, they may have been voting Trump, but they also voted Republican down ballot. By expressing loyalty to Trump, they expressed loyalty to the Republican Party. All these Republicans had to do to benefit from all of this was just be loyal to Donald Trump, even if they had to fake it. That\u2019s all they had to do, and they could have benefited wildly from the support of all of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And, by the way, it\u2019s 95 to 96% of the Republican Party is now MAGA. They love Trump. It is his party. All these elected Republicans would have had to do would have to make just a show now and then of supporting Trump. That\u2019s all they would have had to do. But, no, they couldn\u2019t bring themselves to do it because they would have been laughed at, whatever, made fun of.<\/p>\n

The media would have been mean to them. Same old story. Thousands of them. They end up being harassed and beaten up by Black Lives Matter and Antifa, and not a single elected person — Republican or Democrat — could denounce it. Joe Biden couldn\u2019t denounce it. Trump was told every day to denounce the white supremacists that support him.<\/p>\n

He was told every day that this group needed to be denounced and that group needed to be denounced. Joe Biden\u2019s not demanding — or is not demanded to denounce Black Lives Matter or Antifa, and they\u2019re beating up people<\/a>. But it wasn\u2019t just Biden who didn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t see one elected politician denouncing the fact these people were beat up.<\/p>\n

Thousands and thousands of them went to Washington to show support for their country, for Trump, for the election, for the recount. Not one elected Republican can show up and talk to them, and that\u2019s what the caller was referring to. And it is those Republicans I am referring to when I share this story with you, the Never Trumpers are all concerned now about the two Georgia Senate seats.<\/p>\n
