BRETT: The first formal meeting to discuss the impeachment inquiry for Andrew Cuomo was held yesterday, and the head of the New York state Judiciary Committee said it actually “might be ‘months\u2019 before it\u2019s determined whether the three-term governor should be impeached over sexual misconduct charges.” You have a large number of women who have come forward and alleged harassment, abuse, you name it.<\/p>\n

We now know that the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, is being advised by the best lawyers money can buy. He\u2019s gonna see how he\u2019s gotta do this to gum up the works to make sure that this takes as long as it can possibly take and eventually… What\u2019s on their being run here is the fatigue strategy, right? Wear people down.<\/p>\n

Wear them out so that other stories begin to move. They lose interest. It moves down the road. In fact, one of the accusers came out and said that she\u2019s not gonna be cooperating with this investigation because she doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s a straight deal; doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s a real, impartial investigation to get to the facts. That\u2019s the thing.<\/p>\n

Well, our very good friend right here on the EIB staff, Dean Karayanis (a\/k\/a Koko, Jr. as Rush used to call him on the EIB Network) happens to have a tremendous op-ed in the Washington Times. It\u2019s titled, “The Rise and Fall of Mad King Cuomo.”<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, in it Dean discusses the Cuomo family\u2019s sense of being entitled to anything — and anyone — they want. They\u2019re elitists who constantly complain about America. Remember, Rush nicknamed the first Governor Cuomo “Mario ‘The Pious,'” and he called it that his son was a chip off the old block.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Andrew Cuomo, the son of Mario “The Pious,” and yesterday in New York City he was signing some bill somewhere.<\/p>\n

ANDREW CUOMO: Look, the simple point is all this comes down to this. We\u2019re not gonna “Make America Great Again.” It was never that great.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (shocked hoots, murmuring)<\/p>\n

ANDREW CUOMO: We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged. We will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women — 51% of our population — is gone, and every woman\u2019s full potential is realized and unleashed, and every woman is making her full contribution.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: What an absolute blithering idiot! To claim that America\u2019s greatness has been denied because one group here or one group there somehow has not been allowed to reach its potential. This is just a stupid thing to say! It\u2019s a stupid thing politically to say, and his aides started doing a tap dance almost immediately trying to say, “Well, you know, we need to re-explain what the governor meant. The governor really wasn\u2019t saying…”<\/p>\n

Yes, he did. He said it, he meant it. This is the thing. He meant it. It\u2019s not a new thing for leftists to think America is not great. America is flawed. America\u2019s unjust, it\u2019s immoral. Andrew is a chip off the block. Let\u2019s go listen to Mario “The Pious” himself July 16th, 1984, Democrat National Convention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MARIO THE PIOUS: A shining city is perhaps all the president sees from the portico of the White House and the veranda of his ranch, where everyone seems to be doing well. But there\u2019s another city where some people can\u2019t pay their mortgages and most young people can\u2019t afford one. There are more poor than ever, more families in trouble.<\/p>\n

There are elderly people who tremble in the basements of the houses there. And there are people who sleep in the city streets, in the gutter, where the glitter doesn\u2019t show. There are ghettos where thousands of young people without a job or an education, give their lives away to drug dealers every day. There is despair, Mr. President, in the faces that you don\u2019t see, in the places that you don\u2019t visit in your shining city.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you see, Andrew Cuomo thinking America has never been great, not a big deal, and certainly nothing new. There\u2019s his dad, Mario “The Pious,” talking about the America that every Democrat sees every day except when Democrats are in the White House, then none of that stuff happens to be a problem.<\/p>\n

Folks, this is 1984. Do you notice how the Democrats message hasn\u2019t changed an iota? And despite years and years of Democrat control, none of it\u2019s gotten better. Obama didn\u2019t fix any of this stuff! Bill Clinton didn\u2019t fix any of this stuff! The Democrats never fix it.<\/p>\n

BRETT: It\u2019s incredible. I always wonder about the metric of that, and I\u2019m so happy Rush brings up that point, because he\u2019s talking about the idea that in 1984 this is the message. What happens? In 1988, it\u2019s Dukakis\u2019 message — and in 1992 it\u2019s Bill Clinton\u2019s message. In \u201996, it\u2019s Bill Clinton\u2019s message. It\u2019s always, “It\u2019s terrible, it\u2019s awful, it\u2019s the worst! The country has never been worse than right now.”<\/p>\n

Do you remember when Nancy Pelosi took back the House of Representatives in 2006 in that congressional campaign, and they were actually running around saying that the economy in 2006 was the worst economy since the Great Depression? It\u2019s foolishness! It\u2019s absolutely foolishness. I would love to see one time in a presidential debate just one question asked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Say Biden\u2019s running for reelection — or say Harris is running \u2019cause she has succeeded him and she\u2019s running for election to the White House. I would just love one moderator, one moderator to say, “What do you love about America? What\u2019s the thing you love?” If I ask you what you love about your spouse, what you love about the important person in your life, you could give me a massive list of the things.<\/p>\n

“I love how charitable they are. I love how they take care. I love how they would do these things.” There are very specific things you could do. America is always terrible and teetering off the brink of absolute destruction. It\u2019s an incredible thing to look at when you consider you had an economy that was raging all the way up to the pandemic, and you were told — even in the run-up to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Before the pandemic actually shut things down, you had people saying, “This economy is not great stuff. This is not a great economy.” Are you kidding me? You had 40- and 50-year lows in unemployment. Women had never had greater opportunities than they had in the tail end of that Trump economy, going into 2019 and 2020. Now they\u2019re at a 40-year-low participation in the labor markets.<\/p>\n

Why? Because we shut everything down! We did not imagine that. We did not imagine that. People did not imagine that America had unleashed its great economic power, commitments to growth, but, but what do you have from Andrew Cuomo? “Uh, America was never that great. It was never great. Women don\u2019t participate.” Are you kidding, Governor Cuomo?<\/p>\n
