You just have to try to scare people. You have to get \u2019em all worked up. There\u2019s no deprogramming of conservatives planned. I haven\u2019t heard a thing about that, and I pay attention to the news all the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Really? You have not heard Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly discuss the need for deprogramming conservatives? I mean, that\u2019s almost an exact quote. They believe it\u2019s possible. They even cite some religious movements who have tried to deprogram homosexuals &#8212; and, of course, that has been deemed irresponsible and not doable and very damaging to people.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/katie-courics-condescending-elitist-remarks-calling-to-deprogram-gop-retires-journo-label-critics-say\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-380032\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Fox-News-Tearaway-012221.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Fox-News-Tearaway-012221.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Fox-News-Tearaway-012221-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-Fox-News-Tearaway-012221-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>You know, if you\u2019re gay, you\u2019re gay, and the idea that you can be deprogrammed?

It\u2019s not gonna tarnish her image.<\/p>\n<p>With who? Look, we are a divided country. Katie Couric\u2019s image is already tarnished with the people whose image these people talking about. But the Bill Maher crowd, the American left? They\u2019re not gonna&#8230; Her image is gonna be enhanced with this. You know, this is what so many people that report on the politics of America refuse to understand: We are literally a divided nation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-380051\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Kouric.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Kouric.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Kouric-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Kouric-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is no overlap when you discuss things that we have in common. It\u2019s one of the very, very concerning things that I, as a citizen, have. Throughout our history, we\u2019ve had divided politics, we\u2019ve had divided allegiances &#8212; Republican, Democrat, communist, capitalist, you name it &#8212; but there was always overlap. Even if it was narrow, there was always some overlap, some of our existence that we had in common.<\/p>\n<p>There was a notion that we\u2019re Americans, that being American meant something. That\u2019s gone. Now, 35, 40% of the country believes &#8220;American&#8221; is a dirty word, that the American founding was illegitimate, that we are an illegitimate superpower because our founding was illegitimate and because our economic system &#8212; capitalism &#8212; is immoral and unjust.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-375428\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120720-Trump-Rally-GA-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120720-Trump-Rally-GA-6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120720-Trump-Rally-GA-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/APP-120720-Trump-Rally-GA-6-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, I mean, folks, you don\u2019t have to look any farther than Make America Great Again is controversial. Make America Great Again really ticks some people off. So when I read things like, &#8220;Katie Couric has spent decades on television &#8230; but [her] highly-partisan remarks &#8230; could tarnish her image&#8221;? (Snort!) They\u2019re gonna enhance her image with the Bill Maher crowd, with the American left.<\/p>\n<p>So she is calling to &#8220;deprogram&#8221; the Trump cult. That\u2019s what this is all about. Here\u2019s a pull quote. This is Katie speaking to Bill Maher. &#8220;&#8216;It is so shocking. &#8230; Not only are they not conceding, Bill, but their thoughts &#8212; that there might have been some collusion among members of Congress, some are refusing to go through magnetometers &#8230; to check for weapons, they\u2019re not wearing masks during this siege,\u2019 Couric began.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;I mean, it\u2019s really bizarre, isn\u2019t it, when you think about how AWOL so many of these members of Congress have gotten. But I also think some of them are believing the garbage that they are being fed 24\/7 on the internet, by their constituents, and they bought into this big lie. And the question is how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, A, if you support Trump, you\u2019re nothing more than a mind-numbed cultist and you need to be deprogrammed, and they\u2019re discussing how. So I was simply raising that question: How are they gonna deprogram us? &#8216;Cause they\u2019re talking about it. They talked about it on the Bill Maher show. They\u2019re talking about it any number of places.<\/p>\n<p>So do not doubt me. I don\u2019t make this stuff up lightly. I don\u2019t make stuff up, period. But I don\u2019t bring it here lightly in any way, shape, manner, or form. You know, I just think you talk about the divisions that we have in the country. And, yeah, divisions. There may be more than one way of defining how we are divided. I just really believe&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I know I\u2019ve said this over and over, but I\u2019m so naive, folks. (chuckles) There are parts of me, I\u2019m still 16 and I\u2019m still taking Government 101 in junior high (&#8220;middle school,&#8221; now) and I\u2019m still buying into the (sigh) simplistic notions of how our government works. I buy into all the good intentions in my naivete, and part of this naivete &#8212; that I have to constantly remind myself I\u2019m dead wrong about &#8212; is that every American loves his country.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not true. And that every American would really want his country to be great because a great country affords great opportunity. And &#8220;great&#8221; can be defined in any number of ways &#8212; great economically, great in ways that determine how people are treated and the opportunities that people have to make the most of their lives. We have constitutionally mandated and categorized freedom.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re the first country in the history of the human existence that acknowledged our freedom comes from God, not from other people. I have to get a hold of myself and tell myself, &#8220;You\u2019re naive. There are at least 30 to 40 % of the country that don\u2019t want this to be a great country \u2019cause they think the country is a criminal act in terms of its founding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-326624\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102519-Rush-Constitution.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102519-Rush-Constitution.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-102519-Rush-Constitution-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>That\u2019s what they\u2019ve been taught.<\/p>\n<p>Two generations, 50 years of this in the public education system. So I understand. Talk about needing to deprogram people. You think it might be necessary to, in a very compassionate sense, try to get hold of people who have been taught to hate this country and at least make a stab at telling them why this country should be loved and adored and understood and built on its foundation premises?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019d be a worthwhile project, as far as I\u2019m concerned. But the effort to deprogram conservatives, that\u2019s just another way of Katie Couric saying she doesn\u2019t want to put up with an opposition. She doesn\u2019t want to have to deal with people that disagree with her. She doesn\u2019t want to have to fight them. She doesn\u2019t want to have to deal with them.<\/p>\n<p>They shouldn\u2019t have any access to constitutional rights because they\u2019re cultists.<\/p>\n<p>But you look at Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about naive. I don\u2019t know if naivete is applicable here. But the Republican Party has got a big challenge ahead of itself. There are already people mumbling and grousing and buzzing about the need for a third party &#8212; and it happens every year, every election year, every two years. And it particularly it happens after Republicans lose. And, of course, it\u2019s probably easier to remake the Republican Party than to form a third party.<\/p>\n<p>Because when you start forming third parties you\u2019ve gotta have depth in congressional races, and you\u2019re never gonna have that with a third party. A third party is a presidential party, and that\u2019s it, at the beginning. But if you look at Trump and these four years, there were exceptions, but for the most part he had the backs of every congressional Republican. You go to look at these Trump rallies wherever they took place. Just look at the Trump rallies prior to the election in 2020, 50,000 people here, 50,000 people there, he\u2019s drawing crowds never before seen in politics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-371772\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110220-Trump-Rally-PA-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110220-Trump-Rally-PA-6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110220-Trump-Rally-PA-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110220-Trump-Rally-PA-6-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And at every one of those rallies the congressional Republicans representing the districts nearby are there. And Trump acknowledges them, and he thanks them, and in some cases, he brings \u2019em up to the microphone and has them say a few words. He calls out their names. He praises them. He endorses their reelection. And as I say, he even has some of them speak briefly. Whether they\u2019re RINOs, whether they\u2019re from the Freedom Caucus, he was loyal to the party. And it\u2019s understandable. Ninety-two percent of the party love and adore Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t matter, though, whether they were Republicans-in-name-only, when they didn\u2019t like him, he still acknowledged \u2019em. He did his part to promote party unity. But what do they do? They abandoned Donald Trump in a nanosecond, over and over again. And it just illustrates that sometimes doing the right thing doesn\u2019t have a reward, at least not an immediate reward. You go do the right thing, if you\u2019re Trump, you defend these Republicans who are under assault. You\u2019re under assault, you defend other Republicans. They don\u2019t defend you.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was an island unto himself throughout most of his four years in office. But there aren\u2019t a whole lot of people who returned the favor. There aren\u2019t a whole lot of people who reciprocate, who defend Trump. They can see the tide. They can see where the power lies, and it\u2019s very simple, if you want to have a career in Washington, if you want to have any kind of existence there, then the train you have to board is the one that\u2019s taking Donald Trump away from Washington never to return. You have to be on board that.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is more evidence that they are literally thinking of deprogramming conservatives. They don\u2019t call us conservatives. They call us Trump cultists.

It\u2019s the cult of Trump. Millions of Americans, almost all white &#8212; this was Eugene Robinson, the Washington Post &#8212; millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans, who somehow need to be deprogrammed. It was Katie Couric before him. How are we really going to almost deprogram &#8212; don\u2019t tell me you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. They are definitely talking about this, and they are serious about it. Look, folks. They\u2019re Marxists. This is what Marxist have done throughout world history.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is Ray. Great to have you here, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, Rush, thank you. &#8220;Deprogramming&#8221; equals &#8220;silencing.&#8221; First let me say: Mega MAGA dittos and mega MAGA prayers, Brother Rush.

So you\u2019re talking about the First Amendment. I believe weak politicians are gonna allow multinational corporations and these giant tech companies to curtail and eliminate the First Amendment. So it\u2019s not gonna be scissored out of our Constitution, but it will be effectively rendered useless &#8212; sort of a virtual First Amendment &#8212; if the left succeeds.<\/p>\n<p>And the way they do is they\u2019re gonna let the &#8220;hate&#8221; standards that are put forth by the Googles, YouTubes, and the Facebook-Twitters, to be the determinant on what is allowable speech. So weak politicians will simply stand back and say, &#8220;Look, it\u2019s already been determined that Rush\u2019s Facebook has to be taken down and Rush\u2019s Twitter has to be taken down.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-373459\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-111720-Rush-Big-Voice-Beard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-111720-Rush-Big-Voice-Beard.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-111720-Rush-Big-Voice-Beard-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-111720-Rush-Big-Voice-Beard-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We clearly need to follow up and take his radio show down,&#8221; as well as others like Dr. Gorka. There are many, many wonderful conservative shows out there that are gonna come under attack to secure this route. That\u2019s what I fear, Rush. Help me out.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think you\u2019re onto it. I think you\u2019re on to how they\u2019re gonna do it. I don\u2019t think that they are at the point where they would actually open reprogramming centers or deprogramming centers, and I don\u2019t think they\u2019re to the point where they would openly state that the First Amendment is dead. They\u2019ll do it exactly as you suggest.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I think it\u2019s already happening, and that\u2019s the one thing that you can probably get unified agreement on, is that hate is no good. Right? &#8220;There ought not be any hate out there. Hate is a horrible thing!&#8221; So how do you define hate? Well, they\u2019re already off and running on that. &#8220;If you\u2019re conservative and you don\u2019t like Biden, you\u2019re hateful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you say the wrong thing about the presidential election of 2020, you could be categorized as a domestic terrorist,&#8221; and Big Tech can easily handle this. They can easily change whatever they want. They can get whatever results they want in search or anywhere else. And if it becomes necessary to eliminate certain people from participating because they engage in &#8220;hate speech,&#8221; all you have to do is define &#8220;hate speech&#8221; as something that opposes the government, for example.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how most totalitarian regimes do it. If you oppose the government, why you\u2019re dangerously close to trafficking in hate, &#8220;and we aren\u2019t gonna have hate,&#8221; they will say, &#8220;in our society.&#8221; So, no, I think you\u2019re very shrewd in terms of how you see all of this coming down.<\/p>\n<p>And again, folks, it\u2019s all rooted in the fact that the people who we\u2019re talking about, the American left, do not believe that they should have to deal with any opposition. It\u2019s beneath them. They shouldn\u2019t have to persuade anybody. What they think, is. If you don\u2019t believe it, the problem is yours, not theirs. So, Ray, I appreciate the call. That\u2019s a very, as I say, shrewd observation.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Rochester, Minnesota, next. This is Kevin. Thank you for waiting, and it\u2019s great to have you on the program today. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Mega Gen X dittos. I wanted to talk to you today. I heard you earlier saying about 75 million people are watching. I think the left knows that and they\u2019ve got this impeachment to be a big kabuki theater to go on for a while, and in the last minute, in the last throw of the game, I think Biden will throw a pardon out to Trump and make him look like the great guy. If you can do this and flip just half a percent of moderates, then you\u2019re talking 375,000 votes out of that 75 million, which could be in touch to go through the next election. That\u2019s my theory.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s an interesting theory. Oh, there\u2019s that story. I meant to do this. Yeah. Hank Aaron has died. I meant to get into this in the first hour of the program. He took the COVID vaccine two weeks ago. He took the COVID-19 vaccine two weeks and has died. He did not have COVID.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-380010\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Biden-Lincoln-Memorial-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Biden-Lincoln-Memorial-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Biden-Lincoln-Memorial-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-012221-Biden-Lincoln-Memorial-2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Yeah, I have not stopped to consider whether or not Biden would pardon Trump. I don\u2019t know if that would buy Biden some support among Trump supporters or not, and that would be the only reason Biden would do it. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any evidence that the country is divided because &#8212; well, there is, but they\u2019re not gonna recognize it.<\/p>\n<p>See, your theory is fascinating, but it would require Biden somehow believing that the country could be unified if he did that. And the Democrats\u2019 position is that Trump doesn\u2019t have any support, that everybody hates Trump. They\u2019ve been trying to make that the reality for four years, and they think they\u2019ve pulled it off, that Trump doesn\u2019t have any support.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t have any lingering support. Yeah, they\u2019re in denial about that, but their official stance is that the country is not divided because of overwhelming love and support for Biden. Trump\u2019s support is a bunch of cultists, and those people need to be &#8220;deprogrammed,&#8221; not played to. So it\u2019s an interesting theory. I\u2019m not certain that Biden sees himself as Gerald Ford who pardoned Nixon. But we\u2019ll keep it open as a possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: If you support Trump, you&#039;re nothing more than a mind-numbed cultist and you need to be deprogrammed, and they&#039;re discussing how.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":296949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
