<\/p>\nBRETT: We are remembering just how much Rush Limbaugh was able to peg these folks over on the left, absolutely an incredible thing. We are watching something amazing play out in front of our very eyes. We are watching the fundamental transformation of America that was first offered up, we all remember, in 2008 with President Obama (and, of course, Vice President Biden) coming to the forefront.<\/p>\n
You had those exact words offered up by then-candidate Obama, who had become the nominee of the Democratic Party and then a two-term president. You heard and you saw the fundamental transformation of America. And when you look at what it is that\u2019s going on right now, the conversation that is happening in this country, it\u2019s 50 days, 40 days, 55 days without a press conference from President Biden.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He\u2019s making his way to Atlanta today. He\u2019s making his way to go take tours of vaccine sites and things like that with the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris. This is an incredible thing. You\u2019ve got a man who is operating as president who has not talked to the press, has not taken a single question, not a single time yet in the format of a press conference.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the first time in a hundred years you\u2019ve seen this sort of behavior. And yet, the press just continues to run alongside him. “Can we ask a question? What do you think about Cuomo? What do you think about Cuomo staying in that job? What do you think about it?” “Oh, let\u2019s let the process play out.” “Okay, good! That\u2019s a great answer.”<\/p>\n
Chuck You Schumer said when it came to the fight for Georgia, “First, we change Georgia; then we change America.” Well, you\u2019re starting to see this now, right? And yet you have people who are purveyors of bipartisanship like it\u2019s the magic elixir for what ails us in this country. “See, what\u2019ll fix the border is bipartisanship,” they\u2019ll tell you.<\/p>\n
The covid-19 package, “If Republicans had signed on to it, why, why, it would have been…” still a bad package. The infrastructure package, that\u2019s where we\u2019re gonna see the remaking of voting. H.R. 1. That\u2019s where we\u2019re going to see the gun control. That\u2019s where we\u2019re gonna hear, “See, if you guys would just be bipartisan on this stuff and surrender the ground, you would be…” what? More popular? No. ‘Cause it\u2019s not about bipartisanship for the purposes of coming together to make America stronger. It\u2019s about, as Rush Limbaugh said, the aggressor sets the rules.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Folks, these people on the left here, there is literally nothing about them that we would want to compromise with, that we would want to accept or come to some kind of agreement with. These people have to be regularly and roundly defeated in a political sense at every opportunity. There is no crossing the aisle and shaking their hands.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s none. None of that. Every Republican needs to learn this. There is no way you can buy love from the media. There\u2019s no way you can make the media stop hating you if you\u2019re Republican, whether Trump\u2019s in the equation or not. Can I give you an example on the reverse end of the scale?<\/p>\n
Look at the Never Trumpers. Never Trumpers, the conservative intellectuals of the conservative movement, the conservative intellectuals, the people that were the energy, the intellectual energy behind the entire conservative movement, the people that were telling everybody else what conservatism is, who conservatives are, how conservatives think on this and this and that and that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Then Donald Trump gets the nomination and these people in the Never Trumpers hate Trump, don\u2019t want any part of Trump, they\u2019re thinking of voting for Hillary, some of them did, now they\u2019re thinking of voting for whoever the Democrats nominate. Yet virtually everything they support policy wise is being implemented, everything.<\/p>\n
And yet they still hate Trump. So it\u2019s a fact of Washington, not just of the Democrats here. If common sense were a factor, these Never Trumpers would be saying, “You know what? We misjudged Trump. The guy is implementing stuff that we\u2019ve devoted our lives to.” That\u2019d be the mature, smart thing to do. They can\u2019t bring themselves to because they hate the guy personally.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re jealous, they\u2019re envious. They\u2019ve been working their whole lives to get this stuff implemented, none of it has been to speak of. Trump comes along in two and a half years, gets 90% of what they believe in implemented, thereby demonstrating how irrelevant they\u2019ve actually been. Oh, they can\u2019t have this, they can\u2019t put up with that.<\/p>\n
We wake up every day here and the odds are the news is about somebody or some institution that we love and hold dear that\u2019s under assault as being bigoted or racist or unfair, unjust. So the day begins with the need to seemingly defend everything that we believe in and people that we believe in, people that we hold dear. What are you supposed to do when the other side is the aggressors?<\/p>\n
You know, the aggressors always make the rules. Aggressors never abide by rules. That\u2019s the whole point of being aggressive. There aren\u2019t any rules! You get to throw them out. You have everybody respond to what you do, because there are no limits on what an aggressor can choose to do — and that\u2019s what we find ourselves in the midst of here. There are no limits.<\/p>\n
BRETT: It\u2019s incredible, it\u2019s mind-boggling, the notion that you can keep going back and laying down your beliefs — setting aside your beliefs — and you\u2019ll get some peace and harmony out of that. So if all the Republicans had voted for the covid-19 bill, is there any expectation that Schumer and Pelosi would that and might put out an olive branch?<\/p>\n
No, because what they will do is they will default back to the original sin of whatever the political cycle is. “Well, you didn\u2019t pass it big enough. You made it wait too long. These people suffered.” No, you\u2019re just not gonna get any credit. You\u2019re not gonna get invited on Bill Maher\u2019s show. You\u2019re not gonna get invited on Chuck Todd or Stephanopoulos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You\u2019re not gonna get invited on Chris Wallace. Have any of these programs told us, “You know what? We just wanted to bring you in here today to tell you you did a really good job, Dr. Cassidy! You did a great job, Senator Cassidy! Senator Barrasso, great looking out and helping to get this thing moving.” No, because what you would get from them is, “What took you so long?<\/p>\n
“Why did it take all of this to have to get to this point and what are you going to do about not doing that in the future?” You\u2019re looking at people, the media, by and large, the press, and there\u2019s a phenomenon for what they do. They live in the wreckage of the future.<\/p>\n
They are convinced that the country is terrible, that Republicans are the reason that America\u2019s not a good place, that we\u2019re not committed to equity or equality or any of that sort of stuff. “So just give us your tax dollars and stop talking to us. Just give us your money, just surrender your voting rights, just surrender your guns — your rights to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n
“Put away your troublesome positions on abortion and on judges that believe in originalism.” It\u2019s an incredible thing. You\u2019re not going to get any credit at all. Look, the Supreme Court at one point did a hearing and held on President Trump\u2019s tax returns, right? And it was a unanimous run, right? You had the majority going for it.<\/p>\n
