RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Run this by me again. What do you think they\u2019re doing?<\/p>\nRUSH: Ted in Lynchburg, Virginia, hi. Great to have you. You\u2019re next. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, you never sounded better, Rush. God bless.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I appreciate that because I feel like I\u2019m about to lose my voice here so I\u2019m happy to hear you say that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I think they\u2019re rushing through this impeachment so they can get a disqualification vote. They\u2019ll twist a lot of RINO arms, and then they\u2019re gonna use that to challenge putting Trump\u2019s name on every state ballot in 2024. They have —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Run this by me again. What do you think they\u2019re doing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I think they\u2019re trying to get a disqualification vote from the Senate that he\u2019s disqualified from ever running for president again.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And then they\u2019re gonna challenge every time they try to put his name on the ballot in every jurisdiction, every presidential election the party has to get his name on every state ballot.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You think that\u2019s why they\u2019re hustling through with the second impeachment?<\/p>\n
CALLER: They\u2019re gonna try and litigate in every single state; they\u2019re gonna challenge his name on every single ballot.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I wouldn\u2019t disagree with that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And that\u2019s gonna cost a hell of a lot of money, and it\u2019s a huge, huge problem. I think they can twist enough RINO arms so that they think they\u2019re within shooting distance of that; that\u2019s why they\u2019re gonna schedule this thing.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, yeah, they have scheduled it for Monday but the one thing that… I don\u2019t know. I guess they ignore it, or they don\u2019t think it\u2019s a factor. There\u2019s always… There are always gonna be that 75 million that voted for Trump, and they\u2019re watching all this, and they\u2019re not just gonna sit idly by. They\u2019re gonna be a factor in future elections.<\/p>\n
CALLER: But that\u2019s gonna be… See, this is gonna be litigated. This is gonna be in the court. They\u2019re gonna challenge putting his name on the ballot in court, and you know what kind of support he got from the courts this time around.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, speaking of that, I… (chuckling) So your point is that it\u2019s not gonna be the Democrats that will have done it; it will be the courts and that it will be, therefore, legal to keep Trump\u2019s name off ballot?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly, they\u2019ve got a pretext. They have a pretext if the Senate passes a disqualification vote. They can\u2019t remove him from office but they can say he\u2019s disqualified from running again. And that\u2019s a bogus thing. He\u2019s got due process and equal protection claims to try and knock that down, but they\u2019re gonna bring it up in every single state every time the Republicans try to put his name on the ballot they\u2019re gonna challenge it in court.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Interesting. I think that\u2019s probably — as I listen to some of these comments that the people involved in this, like the Turtle are making, that makes sense. In fact, grab sound bite number 3. Thanks for the call, Ted. I appreciate it. I\u2019ll keep this in mind.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s McConnell. This is this morning on the Senate floor. And the Turtle is speaking about the impeachment trial against Trump. He said this.<\/p>\n
MCCONNELL: Two dozen Democrats signed a bipartisan letter in 2017 saying our Republican majority should not break this rule by brute force. I agreed. I didn\u2019t do it. President Trump was not happy with that. He tweeted against me numerous times because I didn\u2019t do — put an end to the legislative filibuster So we\u2019ll continue to request that our Democratic colleagues reaffirm this standing rule of the Senate which they have been happy to use on many occasions, I can attest.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right. So we\u2019re set up here for the Democrats to steamroll the Republicans again. The Turtle here is saying, “Look, Democrats, don\u2019t eliminate the filibuster. I didn\u2019t do it even when Trump was tweeting mean things about me. I stood up to him, I didn\u2019t do it; so you have a duty now to stand up too. You shouldn\u2019t do this.” They\u2019re gonna do it. They\u2019re being urged to do it all over the media by no less than Ezra Klein, who left Vox and went over to the New York Times.<\/p>\n
“Joe Biden has been busy signing executive orders yesterday and today. During the Trump era, Democrats streamlined a process of blocking Trump\u2019s executive orders through national injunctions,” by these federal judges. “Here\u2019s how it worked: State Attorneys General from left-leaning states would file lawsuits in friendly courts where left-leaning and judges would promptly issue injunctions that applied to everyone.<\/p>\n “This started with an injunction shutting down Trump\u2019s ban on entry for certain countries which became known as the ‘Muslim ban.\u2019 Trump revised that executive order but that too was met with a nationwide injunction. When Trump tried to limit funds going to ‘sanctuary cities\u2019 that was met with a nationwide injunction. When Trump wanted the Census to ask people if they were citizens, that got an injunction.”<\/p>\n You remember all this, right? In the first year of his presidency, every one of his executive orders the Democrats found a judge, even as far away as Hawaii, to impose an injunction and basically tell Trump that he couldn\u2019t do what he was doing. And Trump played along with it. He tried rewriting the executive orders. He tried submitting them in friendly courts. And the Democrats kept filing injunctions, they kept finding friendly judges.<\/p>\n So the question is, will there be any injunctions filed by Republicans to stop any of Biden\u2019s executive orders. Now, the person writing this blog post thinks that, yeah, this is gonna happen. The Republicans are gonna get into this, and they\u2019re gonna give the Democrats a taste of their own medicine.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Look at this. This is a piece at American Greatness. It\u2019s an increasingly prominent website. Paul Gottfried here. The title of the piece, “The Mock Inauguration<\/a> – Conservatives should treat the Biden-Harris Administration exactly the way the Democrats treated Trump.” And here\u2019s a couple of pull quotes. “In brief, we are dealing with a Left that has taken decades to emerge and seize the power it now possesses. If Pat Buchanan is correct when he says, ‘the Left has it all,\u2019 that grim success did not happen overnight. Revolutions are not single events but processes, and the Left has been moving for decades in the direction of its present ideological hegemony.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-tearaway-Hot-Air-012221.jpg\")
<\/a>I have a blog post here. I think this is Hot Air. Not sure which. Headline: “How Long Before Biden\u2019s Executive Orders Are Met With Nationwide Injunctions?”<\/a> This is a piece recalling how every Trump executive order was met with a federal judge somewhere in America serving up an injunction and shutting it down, claiming Trump couldn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/APP-tearaway-American-Greatness-012221.jpg\")
<\/a>“Conservatives in Congress should treat the Biden-Harris Administration exactly the way the Democrats treated Trump\u2019s presidency, by totally dissociating themselves from any of its actions. This resistance could have started … by ignoring the ‘mock inauguration.'”<\/p>\n
