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

RUSH: But what happened to Stewart? I mean, I almost look at the Stewart resignation the way I look at prominent Democrats resigning as they assess the future and determine they don\u2019t want to be part of it. For example, Henry “Nostrilitis” Waxman, or pick your favorite Democrat. Go back to 1994 after the Republicans won that year or any big Republican year since, and you\u2019ll see some famous big-name Democrats who only knew being in power, resigning, deciding not to run anymore. They don\u2019t want to be in the minority. What\u2019s that? <\/p>\n

Henry “Nostrilitis” Waxman, he\u2019s had enough years being in the minority now since 1994. He doesn\u2019t want to be part of that anymore, so he\u2019s resigning. It\u2019s the majority or nothing. You can always look at these resignations, and you can always tell from those resignations what the real thinking at the deepest levels inside the Democrat Party really was about their future. Well, I\u2019m sort of looking at the Stewart resignation in the same way. If you look at the Democrat Party right now, you pay attention to what the cognoscenti in the Democrat Party are talking about, it\u2019s Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, maybe Elizabeth Warren, maybe, but Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton. <\/p>\n

Maybe the thinking in certain circles is that the Democrats are not gonna win the White House again. Maybe the thinking in certain circles is that the damage done by Obama is real, they have not succeeded in papering it over, the 2010, the 2014 midterms are clear evidence the American voter, those who care enough to show up and vote, are not all-in for the Democrat Party agenda. That is abundantly clear. It is abundantly clear the Democrat Party agenda is advanced against the will of the people. <\/line><\/p>\n

The Barack Obama agenda does not enjoy majority popular support of the people in this country, and it hasn\u2019t for a long time. And there\u2019s no dispute. I mean, you can argue with me if you want, but you will lose, because it is inarguable. Over half the people, I would guess, that voted for Barack Obama regret it now, although they might not say so because of the racial component. They regret it because this is last thing they thought was gonna happen. They thought it was gonna be unity and love and no more racism and no more sexism and everybody getting along and no more terrorism because Obama was so wonderful and so great. He was gonna end all that, but now all of that is worse than ever. <\/p>\n

People are working 30 hours maximum a week as they\u2019re converted to part time because of Obamacare. People can\u2019t afford Obamacare unless they can get subsidies, and that\u2019s becoming a hassle. None of this was what was promised to them. None of this. Student loan debt is skyrocketing. Junior college, community college, is now gonna be given away, ostensibly, but people are smart enough to understand that\u2019s gonna cost \u2019em. What\u2019s happening on American college campuses is not education; it\u2019s indoctrination or what have you. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s not an overwhelming happiness blanketing the country. There\u2019s not even a good vibe. Everybody\u2019s worried about something. Something doesn\u2019t seem right. A lot of somethings don\u2019t seem right. Much seems really wrong. To some people it is a failure of the American system. Many Millennials, sadly, think the American system is failing. Not that it\u2019s the fault of the Democrat Party and its agenda or its president, which it is. The vast majority of problems in this country are traceable to policy implementations of the Obama administration and, by extension, the Republican Party sitting idly by and not doing much to stop them other than Obamacare. <\/line><\/p>\n

The American Constitution\u2019s not failed anybody. The American dream has not failed anybody. The American system has not failed anybody. The current implementation of policy has failed people. Of course, those who are responsible for implementing this policy are not blaming themselves. They\u2019re trying to blame Republicans or racism or sexism or bigotry or capitalism or freedom or what have you, but the last thing they\u2019ll do is blame themselves. So in the news business, in the pop culture, and in the Drive-By Media, the truth of what\u2019s gone wrong in this country is hard to find. And so people are left to stew in a sense of malaise, unhappiness, whatever, people know this isn\u2019t right. This is not how it\u2019s supposed to be. <\/p>\n

This is not what growing up was supposed to be like, people are saying now as they hit their thirties and forties. And I think that if you happen to be a leftist, there are those brief flashes of reality that permeate, and you realize all this is true. You realize that the implementation of every policy you hold dear is an abject failure. You realize that everything you believe in that has come to pass, become law, been implemented, national health care is not what it was gonna be. It\u2019s not anywhere close to what you thought it was gonna be. There isn\u2019t a utopia. There isn\u2019t overwhelming happiness. <\/p>\n

If you are an honest leftist, and maybe even a dishonest leftist that gets hit with honesty in a split second or two, three, four times a day, you may realize that it isn\u2019t what I thought it was gonna be. So if you\u2019re in the media, and your job is to make the news and the stuff going on in the country fun, but you don\u2019t see anything, you just you see misery and you see unhappiness and you see people that are in various stages of disquiet, you might think, I don\u2019t even want to try to crack jokes about this anymore. And, by the way, after 16 years, what is there left for Jon Stewart to blame on the Republicans? What\u2019s new? <\/p>\n

For 16 years Jon Stewart\u2019s blamed everything gone wrong on the Republicans. What\u2019s left to blame on them? Particularly the last six years when they haven\u2019t been in power, haven\u2019t been able to stop anything. Jon Stewart was all-in for Barack Obama. The man who lied about Obamacare. The man who turned careers into part-time jobs. The man who took smiles off of people\u2019s faces, Barack Obama. Jon Stewart was all-in for Barack Obama. The man who made health insurance unaffordable with sky-high deductibles and out-of-pockets. Jon Stewart was all-in for that guy. The man who\u2019s made it next to impossible to pay back unaffordable student loans in his part-time economy, Barack Obama. Jon Stewart was all-in for Barack Obama. <\/p>\n

Barack Obama was the answer, Barack Obama was the hero, Barack Obama was gonna fix everything, and while all this has been going on, Jon Stewart has lampooned and impugned and destroyed and taken out as many Republicans as he can when they haven\u2019t had a thing to do with this, except now and then standing aside and letting it happen. Jon Stewart has helped to polarize the country by poisoning the Republican brand. Oh, yes, he\u2019s had a very clear role in that. He\u2019s not the only one. They poisoned the Republican brand at ABC. They poisoned the Republican brand at NBC. They poisoned the Republican brand and conservative brand at NBC and CBS and the Washington Post and the New York Times and at Comedy Central. They have all done it. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve ignored scandal after scandal because Jon Stewart, ABC, NBC, CBS, are liberals first and in his case a comedian second. This is right, it\u2019s fine and dandy. But look where his candidates and look where his party have taken the country. There\u2019s nothing worth bragging about out there. There\u2019s not one policy that if you\u2019re a Democrat and you elected Obama and you supported Obama, there\u2019s nothing going on in America you feel like bragging about, is there? Except maybe if you think conservatives are running around all miserable and unhappy, if that makes you happy, then, yeah, you can brag about that. <\/p>\n

But aside from what you think you\u2019ve done to destroy conservatives, where is there anything to brag about? Unless you actually believe this country needs to be torn apart and transformed. Unless you actually hate capitalism and you think that there have been great inroads made in destroying it, maybe, but that\u2019s not something you could run around brag about because you\u2019re in the minority. Most people do not want the country destroyed. Most people don\u2019t want capitalism destroyed. Most people think capitalism is where the American dream lives. So you can\u2019t run around and brag about that so what are you gonna brag about? <\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t anything to brag about. Stewart\u2019s a funny guy, but he lacks an appreciation of federalism and he lacks an understanding of the harm caused by Obama\u2019s cult of personality that also sucked him in. Stewart fell hard for it just like David Brooks did, and still has, and any number of people. Jon Stewart is not alone, but Jon Stewart helped grease the tracks for the most destructive presidency in many of our lifetimes. And because he was able to make some people laugh while all this destruction took place, he\u2019s hailed as a political genius and a great journalist and said to be eminently qualified to host Meet the Press. Fine, but that says more about NBC than it does Jon Stewart. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, the Democrats love Jon Stewart. He was an immense help to them. Except Jon Stewart\u2019s party got landslided twice when Barack Obama had nothing to do with the ticket. If you\u2019re a liberal Democrat and you\u2019re the Drive-By Media, if you\u2019re a comedian, you\u2019re getting shellacked by people that should be in your audience. Even though you may laugh and make fun of people in the Midwest and the South, you still don\u2019t mind if they\u2019re in your audience even though you won\u2019t admit it \u2019cause you want the bodies.<\/p>\n

But when these people finally speak up the only way they can right now in elections, you\u2019re side is taking it on the chin. The Democrat side\u2019s getting shellacked. It\u2019s just too bad the Republican Party benefiting from these elections doesn\u2019t know what to do with the victories. But that doesn\u2019t change the fact that your party, the Democrats, are getting shellacked. Despite your best efforts in making Republicans look like fools, they\u2019re still winning landslide elections. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a bad six years for America. It\u2019s been a very good six years for Jon Stewart and the left wingers, but maybe they\u2019re thinking, “I don\u2019t want to carry Hillary Clinton\u2019s water. If that\u2019s what this job is gonna make me do, I don\u2019t want to do it. Hillary Clinton, are you kidding me? I can\u2019t get rid of Hillary Clinton, it\u2019s been 1992 since she\u2019s been on the scene and she\u2019s the front-runner and she\u2019s what everybody\u2019s saying we gotta elect, she\u2019s gonna be the next president? I can\u2019t sit here and ignore Hillary Clinton every night and not make jokes about her and that\u2019s gonna be the job \u2019cause I can\u2019t make jokes about Democrats.” That may be the way Stewart\u2019s thinking. I don\u2019t know. But one thing I\u2019m relatively sure of, folks, as is the case in most anything, things are not what they seem, particularly in the areas of conventional wisdom and pop culture. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Time to get started on the phones, and we go to Apple Valley, Minnesota. This is Joan. Thank you for waiting. I appreciate your patience, and hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. I listen almost every day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you mean, almost?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Well, you know, sometimes I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No excuse.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Then I read it on your Web page.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, okay, then you don\u2019t miss. You could get the podcast<\/a>. There\u2019s no excuse for missing a day\u2019s broadcast.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s very true. Back a few years ago, and I don\u2019t remember what exactly it was in reference to, but you talked about there\u2019s going to be some small thing that comes along that maybe exposes, I don\u2019t know if it was bias in the media or whatever, you said it wasn\u2019t gonna be any big catastrophe, you know, colossal —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: — event or anything. I\u2019m wondering if you think this NBC problem and the Jon Stewart thing, is that maybe the small thing that\u2019s maybe going to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I don\u2019t. This is not enough to cause an earthquake to befall the Democrat Party. I remember, it wasn\u2019t that long ago, either. It was in the midst of a series of phone calls that were coming in, people very frustrated thinking it was over, that we\u2019ve lost too much ground. I remember people saying, “Rush, okay, so we stop \u2019em today. We gotta stop \u2019em 10 more times tomorrow and then the next day after that because they\u2019re relentless and never stop. And we\u2019re never gonna be doing anything but stopping. We\u2019re never gonna be advancing.” <\/p>\n

And that\u2019s when I said, “I understand the sentiment, but I think it\u2019s all gonna end up okay. Maybe not in my lifetime. It\u2019s just I\u2019ve got faith that the country is gonna hang on. The people of the country are gonna rally at some point.” I mentioned that what you\u2019re talking about is that some small thing that nobody can possibly predict. It isn\u2019t gonna be a major earthquake. It\u2019s gonna be a little, tiny thing, like the assassination of King Ferdinand led to World War I, nobody would have ever — I don\u2019t mean an assassination, but that triggering world war, nobody foresaw it. I\u2019m thinking that something small and tiny in proportion is going to happen to shake people\u2019s faith in what they have grown totally dependent on.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Don\u2019t you think that this might cause —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tell me how.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — the low-information crowd to actually start questioning a little bit about what they\u2019re listening to?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s take Brian Williams. The low-information crowd might now be saying, “Wait a minute. Is everybody lying to us? Should we start distrusting everybody?” Is that what you\u2019re thinking this might make happen?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, or just, you know, maybe take into account if they hear little snippets of something from Fox News or from you, that they don\u2019t just automatically discard it as, “Oh, well, that\u2019s the right wing, but maybe there\u2019s some truth to what they\u2019re talking about on there.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have been waiting for that, I wish that happened every day, that exact thing you\u2019re talking about, because I know that every day — well, maybe not every day, but let\u2019s say I say something and the Drive-Bys find it intriguing, or they think it\u2019s explosive, so they put it out there in a manner designed to harm me and my integrity and credibility. I\u2019ve been longing for the day where that doesn\u2019t work anymore, that people actually tune in and hear it for themselves and find out they\u2019re being lied to about it. I don\u2019t foresee that happening in this instance. <\/p>\n

You know, the thing about the low-information crowd is I don\u2019t think the low-information crowd\u2019s watching NBC Nightly News. The low-information crowd is that far removed from the traditional old standard journalism presentation. The low-information crowd\u2019s watching TMZ and E! Entertainment TV, Entertainment Tonight, and they\u2019re getting their news online from who knows where. Facebook, you know, the news digest on Facebook, you would not believe the number of people who think that\u2019s news. And it\u2019s just what other people are telling everybody and each other. <\/p>\n

So no, I don\u2019t think this is gonna be the tipping point, but I do think that it is a small, little example of left-wing media experiencing a little implosion. Because there is now attention, a lot of attention in certain quarters to how things are made up, lied about, and can be. For your theory to actually be usable here, Williams would have had to have been telling lies about conservatives that have been revealed as lies. What he did was lie about himself and insert himself into stories. His transgressions could not be said to be ideological in nature, other than he\u2019s a lib and this is what libs do. But I think this is one of many things that will add up over time and have an impact. But this, as the tipping point, I don\u2019t think is it. But I appreciate the call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
