RUSH: I want to talk about the upcoming confirmation hearings for members of Trump\u2019s cabinet. ‘Cause I think there\u2019s something about this that needs to be said, and it\u2019s not politics. We all know the politics of this. We all know what the Democrats are gonna do; they\u2019ve said so. Chuck Schumer and his gang in the Senate are going to try to delay the confirmation of as many of these nominees as they can. They\u2019re gonna try to destroy Jeff Sessions as a racist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All of this is gonna blow up in their face \u2019cause they don\u2019t have to votes to stop these people and they\u2019ve got a filibuster problem of their own making. But they still have to fundraise, and they still have to satisfy these Looney Tunes that send \u2019em money — people like Meryl Streep and Hugh Laurie. I mean, the genuine new kind of stupid that they have to pander to in order to get those idiots to write them checks. But not that they are not gonna be serious about it. I mean, they would love to destroy Sessions. I am sure they\u2019d love to destroy Rex Tillerson. And that\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n

The Democrats are not just gonna oppose; they\u2019re gonna try to destroy these people. Now, if you look at the way… I think it\u2019s always interesting and useful to go back and compare when Obama was elected in 2008 and began to announce his cabinet. If you go back to January of 2009, there were just 41 Republicans in the Senate, and so they couldn\u2019t stop anything. They couldn\u2019t stop a single piece of legislation. They could not stop a single nominee from being confirmed. Forty-one votes. No hope of getting anywhere near 51 or 60 or 61.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And that number, 41, was a little misleading because the Democrat number kept expanding. Arlen Specter, if you\u2019ll recall, switched to the Democrat Party at the end of April in 2009. He was reading the tea leaves and said, “Well, I guess it\u2019s the end of my party.” So he joined with the Democrats. Al Franken\u2019s fraudulent election was not settled until the end of June. So they added a couple people as the year went on. Now, let\u2019s look at some of Obama\u2019s nominees and how they were treated. Hillary Clinton was nominated secretary of state. She got 94 votes.<\/p>\n

She got 94 votes in favor; two against her. Eric Holder. I\u2019ll never forget this. Eric Holder is nominated as attorney general, and what did the Republicans do? A number of conservative think tank intellectuals and elected Republicans started singing the praises of Eric Holder. What is this? The guy is straight out of the extreme left. “Well, we thought we could show them we\u2019re not really bad people. We\u2019ll come out and we\u2019ll show support for Holder. Plus he\u2019s black. We have to support him so they don\u2019t think we\u2019re racist.”<\/p>\n

So Eric Holder ended up getting 75 votes, 21 against. Kathleen Sebelius, another genuine mental midget, unqualified to be secretary of Health and Human Services. She got 65 votes. Tim Geithner (who cheated on his taxes) as the Treasury secretary. He got 60 votes. There were 34 votes opposed to him. It would have been more if it had not been learned that he cheated on his taxes. What was it? Something happened when I was gone. We found out a bunch of left… Oh! Half the sta… Did you see this, Mr. Snerdley?<\/p>\n

Something like 80% of the on-air staff at MSNBC had tax leans against them! Seventy percent of the people, maybe more, who work at MSNBC were behind, delinquent in their taxes. These are the people up there demanding the rich are not paying their fair share, demanding taxes be increased on everybody, and we find out they weren\u2019t paying, and the IRS had leans on \u2019em. Well, Geithner had cheated on his taxes and he blamed it on not knowing how to do TurboTax, and yet this is the guy is gonna be the Treasury secretary.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing. The Senate confirmed seven Obama nominees the day he was inaugurated. How many of you when you hear that, didn\u2019t even know that the Senate and House are in session that day? I mean, most people think Inauguration Day is a party day, celebration day. You have the inaugural ceremony, you have the parade, the president go backs to the White House. In the case of the Clintons they invited everybody in. Clinton was scouting out chicks. He invited everybody in for an open house at the White House, and they go to the White House balls, the inaugural balls, and everybody gets to work the next day.<\/p>\n

But the Senate confirmed seven Obama nominees the day Obama was inaugurated, and they confirmed another five within the first week that Obama was in office. Thirteen of these were confirmed via voice vote without any recorded opposition. Now, again, it\u2019s important to note that the Republicans couldn\u2019t have stopped anything. They only had 41 votes or 40, so they couldn\u2019t have stopped anything. But they didn\u2019t even use the occasion to speak out against any of these nominees. Remember, now, Obama had just skunked McCain and the Republicans are quivering in fear.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re cowering in the corner. They are scared to death. They think it\u2019s the end of their party! McCain\u2019s just been defeated, and the first African-American president\u2019s been elected. You can\u2019t criticize the guy! Then they had to deal with the fact that I was out there saying, “I hope he fails,” and that made them uncomfortable, even though everybody knew what I meant. So the Republicans were self-paralyzed. They didn\u2019t even make an effort to state opposition to these people on the basis of principle, on the basis of belief, ideology, or anything of the sort.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Obama got his blank check, and he got it for the most part on Inauguration Day. I just mention that because the Democrats today are not gonna do anything of the sort. Not that I think they should; that\u2019s not my point. I\u2019m not thinking that there should be tit-for-tat. I\u2019m trying to point out the differences in the two parties, and that is I think the more people that see this now, the better. The Democrats are not just gonna oppose; they\u2019re going to try to destroy. Now, look at Trump\u2019s nominees. Let\u2019s move on to this.<\/p>\n

I think Trump\u2019s cabinet — and I\u2019ve talked to a lot of people who were opposed to Trump, or who were scared to death of Trump — people on our side of the aisle for the most part, Republican or conservative. But they fell prey to whatever nattering negativism that there was in the media and, “Trump\u2019s unqualified, Trump\u2019s a boor, Trump\u2019s coarse, Trump\u2019s this or that.” They were made nervous. But when Trump got around to appointing his cabinet, they\u2019re like, “Hallelujah!” They love these people. A lot of people — and I think that that is warranted.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s just… These are fantastic people. There\u2019s not a one of them that needs the job. There\u2019s not a one of these people that needs the power. There\u2019s not a one of these people that needs this job to parlay it into something better in the private sector. These people, or the vast majority of them that Trump has nominated to his cabinet are the epitome of success. They have achieved some of the greatest success known in this country, and that is being held against them.<\/p>\n

That is going to be held against them by the Democrats who are gonna try to point out that, well, that\u2019s that that they don\u2019t know America. Why, how can you have all these rich people in there? They have no idea what life is like. And it\u2019s the Democrat Party that doesn\u2019t know what life is like in America. It\u2019s the Democrat Party that\u2019s disconnected. It\u2019s the Democrat Party that needs visas whenever they want to drop in on a Midwestern state. It\u2019s the Democrat Party and their allies in the media.<\/p>\n

They are the ones disconnected who do not know this country. To this moment, to this day they are still mocking and making fun of the people that elected Trump. They are still cast together in their little elite enclaves, smearing and sneering and condescending with contempt anybody who\u2019s not. They are the ones that doesn\u2019t know America. They are the ones: Democrats. Obama\u2019s cabinet? Not a single one of them had ever held a job in the private sector! They were all theoreticians, think tank academics, you name it. Not a one of them really knew America.<\/p>\n

They all resented America. They all despised America for the same reasons that most leftists do. By the way, I\u2019ve stumbled across actual evidence now to prove a contention of mine that these people on the left do not think — never have — that this country\u2019s great. They never have thought it is. They think it\u2019s racist, sexist, every cliche I\u2019ve ever used. I actually found a liberal writer in Slate or Salon (I forget which) who actually wrote a piece on it confirming everything that I know about these people. On the other hand, Trump has nominated people who are great. They have achieved success.<\/p>\n

They have worked for it. They have earned it. This Trump cabinet, these confirmation hearings, my friends, it\u2019s an opportunity to herald the greatness of America. It\u2019s an opportunity to herald what\u2019s possible in the United States of America. It is an opportunity to admire aspiration again. It\u2019s an opportunity to promote the aspirational. I am worn out and sick and tired of being told that we are a nation in decline, that we\u2019ve got to learn to do with less.<\/p>\n

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

The left, primarily in the environmental movement, have done more to retard progress and to make life harder in this country than you would ever believe. And you find the evidence all over your house, from your dishwasher to your shower to the things you use to wash your clothes. The left has just screwed up so much, and they have this idea that anybody who\u2019s successful is not to be trusted, that somehow they\u2019ve gamed the system or that they\u2019ve had an unfair break, an unfair shot. That they have had an advantage that other people don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n

And instead we need to get failures. We need to get thinkers. We need to get intellectuals. We need to get people that have not become successful so they can relate to most Americans, and so we\u2019ve stopped being aspirational. And it\u2019s time to bring aspiration back.<\/p>\n

And if you don\u2019t know what I mean by that, the root word is aspire, aspire to be better than you are, aspire to be great, aspire to live your dreams, aspire to experience them, aspire to live your dreams without being mocked and made fun of. And there\u2019s an opportunity here in this series of confirmation hearings for this to happen.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah, I\u2019m gonna get to Obamacare, too. That\u2019s why I say can\u2019t do it all in the first hour. May not be able to do it all in the program, but the Republicans are about to fall into a trap in this that\u2019s so unnecessary. You just repeal it! Anyway, I\u2019ll save that for later.<\/p>\n

Just one other thought here on the Trump cabinet, these upcoming confirmation hearings. You know, one of the constant refrains of conventional wisdom laments the proposition that good people don\u2019t go into government. How many times have you heard that? “We just don\u2019t get good people.” And you hear all kinds of reasons for it. One of the reasons is that they all get a media anal exam and they don\u2019t want to put up with it. Their families come under the microscopic, and they have to get the pay cut. So the liberals are constantly wringing their hands that we just don\u2019t get good people to go into government, except liberals, of course. They\u2019re good people.<\/p>\n

Well, here we have in the list of Trump nominees coming up for confirmation, we have a stellar lineup of people who neither want or need anything from government, including power. They\u2019ve already got it. This is so important. They have acquired their wealth. They have become successful. They have whatever power they desire. They are not taking the job for more. They\u2019re not taking the job for money. They\u2019re not taking the job for leverage.<\/p>\n

And contrary to what the predictable allegations are from the left, they\u2019re not taking the job to help grease the skids in their own industries. They\u2019ve already got that taken care of. These are the pinnacles of success in their respective fields. They don\u2019t need the government, they don\u2019t need the power, and they don\u2019t need the money. And they are going to sacrifice mightily for their country and their ideas. And this is the way this needs to be portrayed. It\u2019s the way it needs to be understood and looked at. And they\u2019re gonna get pilloried in the process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>These people don\u2019t need this. They don\u2019t need the power. They don\u2019t need the position. They don\u2019t need the money. They don\u2019t need the resume enhancement. They don\u2019t need this. They\u2019re doing this because they\u2019ve been asked. I know some of them. They genuinely care. They\u2019re just like you and me, folks. Many of them think we\u2019re about to lose the country. Many of them think that we\u2019ve got one chance here to save it, and they are going to do this as their contribution to it because they\u2019ve been asked, and in the process they are role models.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re the exact kind of people that we need to be holding up and others aspiring to. And that\u2019s what I mean by them being aspirational. Do you realize what a narrow plank I\u2019m on saying this? Do you know how I\u2019m gonna be pilloried for saying this? Because if you look at the Democrat Party\u2019s enemy list, it\u2019s corporations, it\u2019s CEOs, it\u2019s anybody who is successful that does not donate to them, anybody successful who doesn\u2019t contribute to them or doesn\u2019t vote for them. And they have tried to do their best to destroy the industries these people run and these people personally.<\/p>\n

And here I am essentially endorsing these people conceptually. I\u2019m endorsing their selection and I\u2019m holding them out as role models, when the left thinks that role models, well, these are the last people that should be role models. Role models, you know, people that have overcome. These people have overcome, we don\u2019t know what they\u2019ve overcome to become who they are. The left tries to tell you these people were born on third base and hit a grand-slam home run.<\/p>\n

They try to tell you everything they\u2019ve had came easy, through the government, through their families or what have you. And I think this is a golden opportunity to reverse the way we look at success and reverse the way we look at successful people and have these kinds of people themselves become role models and used to aspire others to seek their own greatness and excellence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
