RUSH: I\u2019ve got news here about Cocaine Mitch and is what I\u2019m trying to let the printer print. I got two things here I need to share with you. (shuffling papers) Here it is. Okay. The first story is from TheHill.com. The headline: “McConnell: Trump ‘Provoked\u2019 Crowd That Stormed Capitol.”<\/a> There it is. This has been sort of simmering underneath the radar out there. It has been an item of curiosity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“What is the Turtle gonna do? Is the Turtle gonna dump on Trump or is the Turtle going to maintain one last vestige of loyalty?” And we now have the answer. “Outgoing [ahem] Senate Majority Leader” Cocaine Mitch — and, by the way, I don\u2019t know what that means. I just find it hilarious. I read a couple of blogs who nicknamed him that. I have no idea.<\/p>\n

I probably ought not use that, actually, \u2019cause it might mean something that I don\u2019t know it means. It could be more than just a clever little nickname. So, I\u2019ll just stick with the Turtle. “Outgoing Senate Majority Leader [the Turtle] Mitch McConnell today “accused President Trump of provoking the violent crowd that stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6.”<\/p>\n

So this is gonna end whatever scant, faint, nearly invisible hopes there were that there would be some kind of even quasi-loyalty between the Republican swamp and Trump. It was more than likely to eventuate this way, but there was still scant hope that maybe it wouldn\u2019t. Here\u2019s what McConnell said on the Senate floor:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“‘The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals who tried to stop Congress from doing our duty. The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people,\u2019 McConnell said on the Senate floor, marking the first convening of the full Senate since the attack. McConnell\u2019s statements carry significance ahead of an anticipated Senate impeachment trial.<\/p>\n

“The GOP leader has told colleagues he hasn\u2019t yet decided how he would vote on a House-passed article of impeachment against Trump. His remark that the crowd was ‘fed lies\u2019 is a reference to baseless and debunked claims spread by Trump and members of his legal team and inner circle that widespread election fraud cost Trump a second term. Trump has not formally conceded the race to President-elect Joe Biden” even now.<\/p>\n

“His remark … the crowd was ‘fed lies\u2019 is a reference to [Trump\u2019s] baseless and debunked claims” is what that should have been written to be more easily understood. In other words, McConnell “remark[ing] that the crowd was ‘fed lies\u2019 is a reference to [Trump and his] baseless and debunked claims … that widespread election fraud” is what spurred on the protests.<\/p>\n

So here the marker\u2019s been thrown down. The only reason it happened… Cocaine Mitch is saying it happened \u2019cause Trump fed the mob lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. We\u2019ve been through the timeline on this. There\u2019s no way this can be true. Trump didn\u2019t give any marching orders. He didn\u2019t tell anybody to go down to the Capitol and do what they did.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s why this is troubling. Now, Mitch McConnell, no question, is the king of the Washington Republican establishment, and he\u2019s made it clear what his objective is. His objective is to kill off the Trump movement. He said as much. I think McConnell also opposed the Tea Party movement. Now, this story… There\u2019s a story at TheRightScoop.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

“‘The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people\u2019 –McConnell.” So it\u2019s clear what\u2019s happening. He is attempting to kill off the Trump movement, the MAGA movement. He\u2019s attempting to impugn it and make it impossible for it to have any credibility going forward, making it clear that he believes that all of this that happened on January 6th at the Capitol happened precisely because Donald Trump wanted it to happen and directed it to happen.<\/p>\n

But Trump didn\u2019t direct anything of the sort. In fact, Trump was still speaking when these people started doing what they were doing, and we also know that Antifa had infiltrated this movement and was making themselves to look like Trump supporters. You think McConnell knows that? Think McConnell is aware of the Antifa and Black Lives Matter involvement in all of this?<\/p>\n

You know, I had a story in the Stack yesterday, and let me… (sigh) I was hoping I wasn\u2019t gonna have to use this. But it\u2019s about… Yeah, here it is. “Mitch McConnell…” It\u2019s a Peter Schweizer story. Peter Schweizer has written books about the financial corruption of the deep state, financial corruption of people in the Washington establishment.<\/p>\n

He had a piece in Breitbart yesterday. The headline: “Mitch McConnell and His Wife Financially Tied to the [ChiCom] Government.”<\/a> As I said, I was hoping I wouldn\u2019t have to use this. I was hoping I wouldn\u2019t have to go there. But, man, folks they\u2019re making it hard. I told you some Mark McKinnon stories. Let me tell you a little — a brief little — Mitch McConnell story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After every presidential election where we lost the Senate, where we had minority control of the Senate, Mitch would call, and he was really trying to be helpful. He was attempting to… I\u2019m sure I wasn\u2019t the only person he called. He was calling a lot of people explaining to them how the Senate works and that there was no reason to really panic over having lost the Senate because of one thing.<\/p>\n

If he called me once, he must have called me three different times after three different elections where the Republicans had not secured majority control of the Senate. He said, “Look, the bottom line about the U.S. Senate is it takes 60 votes to get anything, and the Democrats don\u2019t have 60 votes,” and then he embarked on an effort to educate me on the filibuster and what the Democrats would do if they triggered it or if they blew it up and didn\u2019t use it, whatever.<\/p>\n

But he was attempting to be very helpful. At the same time, he was the engaging in CYA. I mean, they had just failed to win majority control of the Senate, and one of the reasons for his calls was to tell me, “It\u2019s not that bad. They need 60 votes, and they don\u2019t have 60 votes,” and then he would explain to me the purpose, the constitutional purpose of the Senate.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve shared this with you before. He said, “Look, the purpose of the Senate is to cool things down. You know, the House of Representatives, ‘the people\u2019s house,\u2019 that\u2019s where it gets knock-down, drag-out. That\u2019s where there\u2019s all kinds of raised voices and lots of energy. But when what they\u2019re working on at the House, legislation, gets over to the Senate, we\u2019re like a coffee cup saucer, Rush.<\/p>\n

“We are where the hot coffee might boil over. It\u2019s collected in the saucer where it cools down, and that\u2019s what we at the Senate do. We provide the slowdown. We provide the cooling off of overheated passions in legislative arguments. We should never pass legislation in the heat of any emotional argument or in the midst of any emotion out of control, and that\u2019s what we in the Senate does.”<\/p>\n

So he called two or three times to assure me that, “Doesn\u2019t matter. They don\u2019t have 60 votes.” And he would run through the vote count, and he would tell me the various Republicans he thought would cave and vote with Democrats. And he did it by name. But he would always fall short of 60. He would always tell me, “No reason to worry. Yeah, we didn\u2019t win control but since you need 60 votes up here, they\u2019re not gonna be able to do anything.”<\/p>\n

To which I said, “Well, wouldn\u2019t it be better to win? I mean, I realize you didn\u2019t and you want to make the best case for losing you can, but wouldn\u2019t it be better to win majority control? Wouldn\u2019t you have more power? Wouldn\u2019t you have more ability?”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, of course. But we didn\u2019t. We lost. So I have to look on the bright side, Rush, and the bright side is that 60 votes, they can\u2019t do anything without it, and they don\u2019t got it.”<\/p>\n

Anyway, here is Schweizer\u2019s story. Schweizer on Sunday detailed how Mitch McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, are financially tied to the ChiCom Communist Party. “Schweizer said on Fox News Channel\u2019s ‘The Next Revolution,'” that\u2019s with Steve Hilton. He said “that McConnell\u2019s ‘position on China has softened over the years,\u2019 which he argued is due to the growing relationship between the Chinese government and the Chao\u2019s company.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Schweizer said, “Really, it goes to the fact that Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao, his wife, are financially tied to the Chinese government.” Now, I have to say that Peter Schweizer has written book after book after book. He\u2019s detailed the Clintons and their financial corruption and their illegal ties to agents of foreign governments, and nobody has challenged him. Nobody has sued him. Nobody has told him to take it down, nobody has accused him of lying. They just ignored it and hoped that it would go away. And the same thing is happening here.<\/p>\n

So if you want to know why the establishment, the swamp, the deep state, if you want to know why they say that China Joe and Mitch McConnell will work well together, look no further than renowned investigator Peter Schweizer\u2019s follow-the-money revelations about McConnell and his wife. And, you know, folks, I know both these people. I know Mitch McConnell. I know Elaine Chao. This is why I\u2019ve always said, you never want to get close to these people because you don\u2019t want to make \u2019em enemies, and you still have to be able to report the truth.<\/p>\n

Again, Schweizer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Bidens. I suspect that he\u2019s not wrong on this. Nobody\u2019s even tried to debunk it. Elaine Chao was the first to ditch Trump. According to Schweizer, this is the strategy of the Chinese government across the world. They seek out political elites, they give them commercial deals, and they end up being wedded to the ChiComs. They don\u2019t want to anger the Chinese, the McConnells don\u2019t, because they could destroy their families financially, like the Mafia.<\/p>\n

So you don\u2019t want to make the ChiComs mad once they\u2019ve got their hooks into you. So there\u2019s some snark going around that maybe the Chinese told McConnell, “Hey, it\u2019s time to lower the boom on Trump.” So I don\u2019t know if it would even take that. I don\u2019t know how surprised I am that this has happened because I think all of the Washington establishment has made up their minds that they are all-in on destroying as much of Trump and his family as they can.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Like I say, folks, it doesn\u2019t make me happy nor comfortable to have to discuss Mitch McConnell this way. But it\u2019s undeniable what he said. McConnell has been, over the years, nothing but helpful to me. That\u2019s been his… At least that\u2019s my interpretation of all the times he reached out to me. I literally thought he was trying to be helpful.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t heard from him in a long time, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean anything. But now McConnell is making it clear where he stands, that Trump is responsible for what happened at the U.S. Capitol. It\u2019s Trump who did it. It\u2019s Trump who encouraged it. We got the audio sound bite. This is from the Senate floor just this afternoon.<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL: The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who is that?<\/p>\n

\"\"MCCONNELL: –and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like. But we pressed on. We stood together and said an angry mob would not get veto power over the rule of law in our nation, not even for one night. We certified the people\u2019s choice for their 46th president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (summarized) “And we did it proudly. We proudly certified Joe Biden.” You think this guy is ever gonna be seen in public? Do you think Joe Biden is gonna be a virtual president? No, I\u2019m serious. Do you think Biden\u2019s ever gonna show up in public and do public events? Now, he\u2019ll be on TV from the Oval Office. Will he ever leave the White House? Will he leave the residence?<\/p>\n

Will he leave the Oval Office, the West Wing? I guess he\u2019s gonna have to for some ceremonial things, but they\u2019ll employ Kommie Harris for as much of those things as they can. So, anyway, you heard him saying it. “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.” We don\u2019t know who he means there.<\/p>\n

“They tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government,” which they did not like — and that\u2019s what he means: The United States Senate. But McConnell wants you to know that your senators bravely pressed on, that they were not intimidated. They were not in any way inspired to quit. They bravely kept on. They pressed on.<\/p>\n

They stood together, and they said that “an angry mob would not get veto power over the rule of law” in our inauguration, by golly. So they bravely continued work. They bravely stood up to that mob that was inspired by the president — provoked by the president. So I guess the mystery is now over, and we know where McConnell — and thus, the Republican leadership — stand. They\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Would I be mean — would it be mean — to point out that Mitch McConnell didn\u2019t seem to mind his wife getting a cabinet job under Trump? And in fact, she was in the Trump cabinet for four years, right? She was one of the early, I think, labor secretary? (interruption) Well, no. I mean, if Senator McConnell is now going to dump over Trump…<\/p>\n

You know, grab sound bite number 23. This is on the Senate floor today. This is Mitch McConnell, who I guess has pretended to represent 75 million Trump voters all these years. But here\u2019s Senator McConnell, leader of the Republicans in the Senate, on the Senate floor just this afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"\"MCCONNELL: The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL: But we pressed on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, right.<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL: We stood together —<\/p>\n

RUSH: We were brave.<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL: — and said an angry mob would not get veto power over the rule of law in our nation —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. We were brave.<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL: — not even for one night.<\/p>\n

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

MCCONNELL: We certified the people\u2019s choice for their 46th president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And we were brave about it. We certified the people\u2019s choice for the 46th president. That\u2019d be Joe Biden. So you don\u2019t think it\u2019d be mean to point out that Senator McConnell didn\u2019t mind his wife being in Trump\u2019s cabinet for four years? (interruption) Well, no. I mean, I\u2019m thinking if Trump\u2019s capable of all of this, then clearly this isn\u2019t the first time Trump has done things that you might object to.<\/p>\n

Why didn\u2019t Elaine Chao resign from the Trump cabinet much earlier? Because there were clearly signs. I mean, they were talking about invoking the 25th Amendment! They were talking about, you know, two years in doing all kinds of things to get rid of Trump. But she hung in there for all four years as a member of Trump\u2019s cabinet. There has to be a reason why.<\/p>\n

Today on CNN, the infobabe Brianna Keilar had as one of her guests Ronald Brownstein of The Atlantic. He\u2019s a senior editor there. She asked him this question: “Does what Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor,” the sound bite you just heard. “Does what McConnell said tell you anything about what to expect from Senate Republicans in the impeachment trial?”<\/p>\n

BROWNSTEIN: It is important that Senate Majority Leader McConnell is saying these things and drawing these lines. But you can\u2019t ignore his role in getting the party and the country to this point. I mean, Donald Trump did not get to the point of January 6th overnight, and he did not get there alone. McConnell\u2019s comments do signal that this, in fact, may be a breaking point for some of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"And if you look at the polling, it is true that three-quarters of Republicans say that Trump won the election; it was stolen. They see nothing wrong in how he\u2019s behaving. That\u2019s an ominous number for the stability of society. But if a quarter or a fifth of Republican voters are uneasy with the party kind of merging with these extremist elements, that\u2019s a pretty scary number for the future of Republican electoral prospects.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So if McConnell thinks… The way I interpret this is if McConnell thinks that he\u2019s buying himself some goodwill from the Drive-By Media, he can think again. They can\u2019t buy goodwill. They\u2019ve never been able to buy friendship, support, or goodwill. Yet they do not learn from this. They nevertheless end up thinking that it\u2019s always possible, and it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

And you hear it right here in Brownstein. (summarized) “Okay. So fine. Mitch McConnell saying these things, he\u2019s drawing these lines. But you can\u2019t ignore his own role in getting the party and the country to this point! I mean, Donald Trump didn\u2019t get to January 6th overnight, and he didn\u2019t get there alone. Mitch McConnell helped out. Now, McConnell\u2019s comments do signal maybe a breaking point for some Republicans — and if you look at the polling, it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

“Three-quarters of Republicans say Trump won the election, that it was stolen. They see nothing wrong with how he\u2019s behaving.” Brownstein says, “That\u2019s a — that\u2019s an ominous number for the stability of the society.” That number scares the hell out of them. We\u2019re talking 70 to 75 million people, and there\u2019s polling data out there that says 75% of those people think that Trump won, that the election was stolen.<\/p>\n

They see nothing wrong with Trump behaving the way he is, and they\u2019re worried. See, this has bombed out on \u2019em, and we had a sound bite earlier today that demonstrated that. They failed. They were certain that this, what happened on January 6th… They were certain that this was going to end up destroying the bond that Trump has with his voters.<\/p>\n

And it hasn\u2019t happened.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re devastated.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n

They literally thought that they were going to be able to end all of this with that revelation, and it\u2019s not been the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
