RUSH: Now, yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, I made a point that the Democrats know what to do with their power. They use it when they have it, and, for the most part, the Republicans do not — and I mean raw power. I don\u2019t mean the power that you have in majority votes in the Senate or in the House. Clearly the Republicans will use that kind of power.<\/p>\n

But they will allow it to be watered down during debate, and they\u2019ll make every vote close or what have you. It\u2019s why so many Republican voters are constantly nervous. The Democrats, however, when they win and when they acquire power — and even when they\u2019re out of power — they use it as though they\u2019ve won it. You know, people ask me about a third party.<\/p>\n

A third party would not be necessary if the Republican Party would simply coalesce around principled conservatives who don\u2019t fear anybody, especially radical leftists in Washington. And this is part and parcel of using power when you have it. Now, we\u2019ve got some people on our side who know how to do this. One of them is Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She is the governor in South Dakota, and she said in BizPac Review that the “Republican Party needs to toughen up [and] ‘self-evaluate\u2019 for not following through on key issues.”<\/a> Now, here\u2019s an elected Republican who gets it. This is the blueprint. This is using power when you have it, which is what we\u2019re up against.<\/p>\n

The Democrats use it constantly. They bludgeon us with it. Greg “Kelly moved on to former President Donald Trump, touting his accomplishments despite tough Democratic opposition before asking Noem to respond with her thoughts on his term. ‘President Trump did things of great magnitude for this country. What he did on tax reform, on trade deals … his support of Israel, his protection of our national defense, his enforcement of our laws,\u2019 Noem said.<\/p>\n

“‘This man [Donald Trump] got up every single day and fought for the common everyday American so that they could have a chance to be successful and pursue the American dream,\u2019 Noem noted further, adding that she believes Trump\u2019s ‘legacy is going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents\u2019 in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“That is due to ‘the actual policies he pursued and the fact that he actually did what he campaigned on and he followed through on it.'” So she believes that the Republicans need to toughen up, and what are the Democrats doing? Try this: “Democrat Lawmakers Introduce Bill for Nationwide Mail-in Voting: Necessary to ‘Make Real Progress.'”<\/a><\/p>\n

I, The Big Voice on the Right, warned everybody this was coming. It should not be a surprise. I told you Democrats are hell-bent on making elections meaningless. They know they can\u2019t eliminate them. They know they cannot wipe out elections. They\u2019ll never succeed with that. But the next best thing is making elections foregone conclusions; therefore, making elections meaningless.<\/p>\n

That means using whatever they can — such as mail-in ballots, mail-in voting — to give themselves an advantage. Now, some of you might be saying, “Rush, wait a minute. Why does mail-in voting automatically give them an advantage? Republicans can do it, too.” Yeah, Republicans are trying to stop it — and I don\u2019t blame \u2019em, by the way. Republicans are standing against mail-in voting.<\/p>\n

We ought to have one Election Day like we did for decades. We\u2019ve had Election Day where all you did was show up at the polls and vote. There was no early voting. There was just Election Day, and absentee for people who literally couldn\u2019t make it (it was a very tiny percentage of voters). And we were able to do it, and we were able to count the votes and know who won by the end of the night on Election Day.<\/p>\n

And then all of a sudden, we stopped being able to do any of that, for whatever reason. We weren\u2019t able to have show-up-in-person voting. No. We needed early voting and then we needed mail-in voting, and pretty soon there\u2019s gonna be some other kind of virtual voting because of COVID.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Well, Rush, that\u2019s what mail-in voting is.” No. They\u2019ll come up with something in addition to it. They never stop. Their objective is to make elections meaningless. There\u2019s a way it happens, and they have got it down pat. So now they\u2019ve introduced a bill for nationwide mail-in voting. They\u2019re expanding on it. They\u2019re not content for how it worked in 2020.<\/p>\n

Mail-in voting and voting for several months before and after Election Day, this is what they\u2019re aiming for. “What do you mean, after Election Day?” Oh, yeah! They\u2019re gonna move for this. “Some people can\u2019t vote on Election Day, even with mail-in ballots. We need to make sure every vote counts.” You\u2019ve heard their mantras. This is called using their power as a bludgeon when they have it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know one of the greatest illustrations of the Democrats\u2019 use of power versus the Republicans\u2019 is look at all the hypocrisy they get away with. Hypocrisy doesn\u2019t even touch them. It doesn\u2019t even attach itself to them. Yet it can destroy a Republican. How is this? In large part… It\u2019s not solely this, but, in large part, it\u2019s the way they have marshaled the use of power.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not afraid to use it, they\u2019re not afraid of the blowback to it, and I really think Republicans are. I think Republicans… Maybe “afraid” is too strong a word. They\u2019re just uncomfortable with the media constantly yapping at their ankles. They\u2019d just not… They\u2019d rather have the media not questioning their motives and their actions and what they\u2019re doing, and so the Republicans do not use power even when they have won it.<\/p>\n

The Democrats are totally different. They\u2019re not afraid at all. They\u2019re not afraid of the backlash against it. They don\u2019t care. It\u2019s all oriented around the fact that they, in their minds, are entitled to power; that we aren\u2019t, that unity is only defined by us accepting they are the legitimate people entitled to power, that we\u2019re not. That\u2019s what “unity” is. Unity is us conforming to them.<\/p>\n

We have to be a bunch of conformists. We have to agree that “unity” means them in power and using their power. Now, there\u2019s a piece I could illustrate this with before we get back to the phones. There\u2019s a piece here at Frontpage Mag, which is David Horowitz\u2019s magazine. “When Resistance Became Sedition and Sedition Became Resistance.” <\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is simply a story on how the Democrats get away with rank hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the pull quote: “The difference between resistance and sedition, between protests and insurrections…” For example, none of what Antifa did is ever called an insurrection, none of what Black Lives Matter ever does. That never is an insurrection. But when the people protested at the Capitol, it was not a protest. It was an insurrection, and those people need to be flogged!<\/p>\n

They need to be put in jail and they need to be tried, and they need to be convicted and they need to be sent packing. “The difference between resistance and sedition, between protests and insurrections, is who\u2019s in charge. Democrats resist Republican elected officials. Republicans however,” they don\u2019t resist. They are said to be “commit[ing] sedition against Democrat elected officials” when they criticize them.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

This is how it works.<\/p>\n

“Democrats protest; Republicans riot. These are not distinctions in law. The only real distinction is who is in power and who\u2019s on the barricade. Political hypocrisy is not a new phenomenon, but the Democrats have weaponized the national security state to suppress political opposition over the same behavior they engage in as a serious threat to the survival of the country…”<\/p>\n

The very things they do are said to be no big deal. They are simply practicing dissent. When Republicans do those same things, it is said to be a serious threat to the survival of the country and the people of this country. What do you Republicans think you\u2019re doing! And they gin up even more hate. And this is all about knowing how to use power when they have it to define us.<\/p>\n

When is the last time you ever heard a Republican seriously try to define the modern-day leftist, liberal, or progressive? I mean, they throw around words like socialist or Marxist or what have you. But actually explaining to people how they are bad for the country? Why, they…<\/p>\n

If any of them try that, you know what would happen to them. And yet they get away with doing that exact thing to us. And we\u2019re left to have to defend ourselves and to explain it or to say that, “No, the charge is bogus. You don\u2019t understand.” You boil it all down and it comes down to power and the use of it and how they are not afraid to use it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, let me get back to the phones. This is Toni in central Pennsylvania. Great to have you here. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s so good to hear your voice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re welcome, and I pray for your healing on a very regular basis. So I wanted to ask you… You\u2019re on a topic that I wanted to ask a question about, and that is the Republican Party. You said that Governor Noem said we just be need to toughen up, the Republicans. But I view the Republican Party largely as RINOs and elites not willing to really get a backbone. I haven\u2019t seen a backbone in the Republican Party since I\u2019ve been a Republican, and your first caller of the day —<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I think that\u2019s what she means, but she can\u2019t come out and say it as you want to hear it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Well —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think she means the same thing you\u2019re saying here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. I can say it because I\u2019m on your program, and I\u2019m just an average person. I personally think that the 75-plus million Trump voters would certainly entertain the idea of a third party, one that is basically the America First Party, the people who believe that the established political parties are failing us or working against us such as the Democrats.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I could be wrong on this, Toni. I\u2019m not certain. I\u2019m somewhat confused because I\u2019ve read a bunch of different things. My opinion, based on what I\u2019ve read, is that Trump is not in favor of third party. Am I right about that? Is that…? (interruption) Okay. Trump is not in favor of third party, and the reason is that there\u2019s already a party that he can say that he has commandeered or is the leader of.<\/p>\n

And, believe me, having 75 million voters is no accident. It took a lot of hard work, and if you have a third party based on a presidential candidacy, then you don\u2019t have a third party on congressional seats and Senate seats. And even if your third-party president wins big, he still isn\u2019t gonna have any infrastructure in the Congress — in the House and the Senate — to help him legislate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because starting a third party means you would have to start a third party among the Senate and the House. You\u2019d have to have these people all running for reelection or election on this new third party. Trump is looking at it as, “Why do that when we already have it?” and he thinks that he\u2019s already succeeded in… I say “commandeering” it.<\/p>\n

That implies taking over. But he leads it. And I think the real question that a lot of people are asking right now — when I say a lot of people, I\u2019m talking about friendly to Trump — is Trump the guy to carry us forward, is Trump the guy to lead us forward, or is the agenda enough. We need to find somebody to advance the agenda, that Trump has been so damaged.<\/p>\n

I mean, it\u2019s an ongoing conversation. It\u2019s not about selling Trump out. It\u2019s not about cutting him off at the knees. It\u2019s not about disloyalty or any of that. It\u2019s about how viable is Trump going forward, particularly if these Democrats succeed in this asinine attempt of theirs to make sure that he can\u2019t run for office ever again. But that discussion is for another day, and I don\u2019t want anybody misunderstanding me on this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just telling you there are some people who love Donald Trump who think he\u2019s the greatest thing and want to grow what Donald Trump did. They want it to get bigger. They want it to win more elections. They want it to become dominant. And they\u2019re talking about how to go about making that possible. And when you get to Trump, you\u2019ll find he\u2019s not in favor of throwing all that away and starting from dead stop to create a third party.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I get it. Somebody wants to ask me what I think Republicans ought to do about electing the next nominee and all that. I want you to listen to what the Drive-By Media thinks the Republicans need to do. This is McKay Coppins on NPR last night.<\/p>\n

\"\"COPPINS: The gatekeepers that used to be in charge of making sure their party didn\u2019t nominate somebody like Donald Trump have lost power. They\u2019ve been overrun by people like Rush Limbaugh. I do think we need to start thinking in the post-Trump era more about how to reinstitute gatekeepers to our politics, how to make sure that there are still guardrails in the Republican Party so that the party doesn\u2019t continue in this kind of spiral —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, stop the tape. Look. This guy is a writer. He\u2019s a journalist for The Atlantic. And this guy is presuming to tell the Republican Party what it needs to do. We\u2019ve been overrun by people like me. He says we need, “we” need to start thinking in the post-Trump era about how to reinstitute gatekeepers in the Republican Party to make sure they don\u2019t go off the rails again. A journalist presuming to think that this is what the Republicans need — actually what everybody else needs to do, despite what the Republicans want to do.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Ed in Hudson, Wisconsin. We head back to the phones. How you doing, Ed? Great to have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m doing great, Rush. Such an honor to talk to you. We thank you for all your wisdom.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Basically I\u2019m a 63-year-old United States Air Force veteran, semiretired, contractor. We live right on the border of Minnesota, and we experienced the Al Franken, Norm Coleman fiasco. We all knew what was gonna happen with this election. We elected not to do anything about it. It\u2019s our fault. I\u2019m involved with several groups. My wife\u2019s big time involved with the local Republican Party. And we suggested the third-party thing and everybody\u2019s like, “Let\u2019s go, let\u2019s go, let\u2019s go.”<\/p>\n

So I went to the state of Wisconsin to find out what I needed to do to get people on the ballot and start a third party. Rush, it\u2019s impossible. People have no idea what all\u2019s involved with even getting somebody on the ballot. And then I looked into some third parties that exist out there. We\u2019ve got one called the Constitution Party that actually cost Walker the governor election, and now we got Ebers, who\u2019s, you know, we\u2019re not quite as bad as the people in Minnesota thanks to the Supreme Court that Walker put in there. But we don\u2019t need a third party. We need to clean up the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, third party just gives people another option to vote for that ends up watering down the Republican Party\u2019s chances of winning, like the libertarians have always done.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But you\u2019re right. Creating a third party that has tentacles with Senate and House of Representative — people do not know how difficult it is to literally start a third party that —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — that stretches beyond the presidential race.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Just local. We\u2019ve been going to the school board — you know, they had a meeting here to vet the conservative people for the school board, the city council, the county. We\u2019ve been going to all those meetings, we being my wife and I. And what we\u2019re finding, there were 300 people at a political party here two weeks ago Friday. There\u2019s 60, 70, 80 people going to vet the people that are running for the school board. People are active right now, and somehow we need to figure out a way to unify that and come together and we need to clean the swamp up, and we need President Trump, no doubt. He needs to be our leader. Anyway, thank you so much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, Ed. I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s League City, Texas. Jim, great to have you with us. How you doing, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Fine. Happy Friday to you. Right to my point. I\u2019m not a radical person. But I have a radical idea for elections, and I just thought I would throw it out there for you. If there was an amendment that said voters have the right for U.S. Senate and the U.S. House to choose none of the above and rather than, you know, the candidates on that with a procedure whereas if none of the above selection got a plurality, certain processes would then take place, like namely for U.S. Senate, the “none of the above” the bottom the plurality, then you\u2019d go back to pre-17th Amendment where the state legislator would then choose a Senator to serve one term and for the House —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why do you want to do this?<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I would just like for people to have that choice, because I think you have situations where people go in to Congress and with maybe the best of intentions and they become a part of the elite, the establishment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but you can make bets on who\u2019s gonna do that and who is gonna resist it, but you don\u2019t know before the election who\u2019s actually gonna succumb to those pressures and become a denizen of the deep swamp. You just don\u2019t know who\u2019s gonna do it. And I guarantee you what would happen in a circumstance like this, if you put — well, it would never happen. This would never happen. But if you did, since we\u2019re discussing a hypothetical, if you put “none of the above,” whoever ends up getting the most votes is gonna be said to have won. And you said, “Well, but not if they don\u2019t get a plurality.” Well, I guarantee you if we change the law that people could vote “none of the above,” the law would include whoever ends up with the most votes still is gonna win. Nothing\u2019s gonna change.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Andy in Clarksville, Indiana, glad you waited, sir. You\u2019re next. Hello. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. I love your show, and I\u2019ve been listening to it for years. And I just pray to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that you\u2019ll be healed. And my question is why these governors in these Democratic states are able to walk around Trump\u2019s executive orders and I don\u2019t understand why the Republicans —<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: A great point. A great point. I mentioned this I think it was the week before last. Andy, I\u2019m so glad you reminded me of this. The point that I made was whenever Trump tried to do anything via an executive order, what happened? The Democrats found some lackey judge in Washington state or in Hawaii to issue an injunction preventing Trump\u2019s executive order from going into effect.<\/p>\n

So Trump would rewrite it based on the judge\u2019s objections and resubmit it. And I asked a question last week: How long will it be before the Republicans do the same thing? How long before the Republicans go find a judge anywhere to grant an injunction against any of Biden\u2019s executive actions or executive orders? And guess what, Andy? Hasn\u2019t happened, has it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, it hasn\u2019t, but the thing is these Republicans need to grow some nads and remember that we are one republic, one nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. And I think America\u2019s forgot that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m sure many of them think that, but this is a matter of pure politics. This illustrates they don\u2019t want to go to the trouble. It may be a hassle to go out and try to find a friendly judge and then ask the judge for an injunction against a Biden executive order. I\u2019ll guarantee you — well, I\u2019ll get as close to guaranteeing you as I can that the Republicans don\u2019t want the hassle of the media ripping them to shreds for doing it \u2019cause I guarantee you, again, if the Republicans did this, the media would cream \u2019em.<\/p>\n

Now, back when the Democrats went out to find friendly judges to invoke injunctions against the Trump executive orders, the media praised the judges, praised the Democrats, made them out to be great heroes. Republicans know that if they try the same thing the media is gonna rip \u2019em to shreds. And they just don\u2019t want to have to deal with that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so glad that you reminded me. Because this is another great illustration of how they use power even when they don\u2019t have it. They were doing this in 2017 after they lost the 2016 election. I do believe that in Texas, a judge in Texas put a temporary stay on Biden\u2019s executive order ending deportations, and I think that\u2019s Greg Abbott, the governor. I just had the story in the Stack here. Yeah, I put it at the back of the Stack. (interruption) It was the AG? Okay. Paxton, the AG, did it. I\u2019m not surprised that it\u2019s happening in Texas. But I\u2019m glad that it happened. I\u2019m glad you reminded me of that. I\u2019d seen that in the stack and I had forgotten it.<\/p>\n

But still, the Democrats did it with every Trump executive action, every Trump executive order. So we\u2019ll see. Andy, thanks for the call, and I really appreciate your prayers. Everybody\u2019s prayers, more than you know.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here are the details on the Texas judge<\/a>. “Judge Drew Tipton, a Trump appointee, granted a temporary restraining order sought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, saying the state had demonstrated a likelihood of facing immediate harm from Biden\u2019s pause” on deportation. So I was getting this confused with something that Greg Abbott was asking.<\/p>\n

\"\"But this is the equivalent of the Republicans trying to stymie a Biden executive action or executive order with a federal district court injunction. Again, Drew Tipton — federal judge, Texas, Trump appointee — “blocked President Biden\u2019s 100-day deportation ‘pause\u2019 [executive order] on Tuesday in a ruling that may point to a new phase of conservative legal challenges to [Biden]\u2019s immigration agenda.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
