Obama\u2019s brave struggle, remember the headline, Obama\u2019s brave struggle to punish the Russians or stop the Russians or what have you. And my opening monologue featured my recollection of thoughts over the weekend about how the momentum might be shifting here. That we may be approaching that moment in time where the left has shot its wad, so to speak. They\u2019ve shot everything they\u2019ve got at Trump and Trump\u2019s still there and the momentum is starting to turn.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hhYMsllGKc4\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>Guess what? A Rush echo. Last night on the Fox News Channel, Tucker Carlson, Victor Davis Hanson with the Rush echo. The question from Carlson: &#8220;Victor, what is all this? The Washington Post story, Russian meddling, Obama\u2019s attempts to punish Vladimir Putin. What\u2019s going on here, Victor?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HANSON: I think the whole political landscape, the investigatory landscape and the cultural landscape is starting to shift. I think we\u2019ve really underestimated James Comey\u2019s testimony. It was a Pandora\u2019s box that let out a lot of demons and we haven\u2019t fully digested them. Loretta Lynch is facing a lot of exposure. Comey admits that he acceded to her requests, and that\u2019s a de facto impediment. And then we haven\u2019t really digested that Bill Clinton tarmac meeting with her. We have Comey who said that he leaked a letter so that he could prompt a special investigator and then as soon as he finished that investigation his best friend was appointed to the job. We have a House Intelligence Committee that\u2019s now looking at Rice and Brennan and Power.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Precisely what I said yesterday, Rush echo. So next question from Tucker. He said, &#8220;So what you\u2019re saying is what Rush Limbaugh said today, that this may wind up in places we don\u2019t anticipate.&#8221; Tucker didn\u2019t put me in the question. I did that myself. Here\u2019s the answer.<\/p>\n<p>HANSON: Yeah, I think it\u2019s a boomerang, a progressive boomerang if you\u2019re gonna take out the king you gotta take him out. And it didn\u2019t work and Trump\u2019s a Nietzschean figure that gets stronger. Anything that doesn\u2019t take him out makes his stronger. Culturally people are tired of finding another day, another celebrity tries to imagine a way of killing the president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. Right.<\/p>\n<p>HANSON: Deep state, Obama bureaucrats, impeachment, 25th amendment, it\u2019s just saturating the people. The slow-motion coup is running out of steam. It\u2019s all working to Trump\u2019s benefit in a way that none of us ever imagined.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So just to have that on the record. There are others that also sense this shift coming.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Pleasanton, California, is next. This is Chris, and it\u2019s a pleasure to have you. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-238707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-051917-Limbaugh-Echo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-051917-Limbaugh-Echo.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-051917-Limbaugh-Echo-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>CALLER: Very good, Rush. Thank you. Last year when we were learning about Hillary\u2019s server in her bathroom with the classified information on it, one of the most serious things, probably the most serious thing about it was the possibility, the probability that foreign governments could even more easily hack into that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And for that reason the Democrats were downplaying that the threat of the Russia, for example. We were hearing things like, &#8220;Well, you don\u2019t know they have it,&#8221; and things like that. And so it seems clear to me that now that we\u2019re learning that, you know, Obama knew about what Russia was up to hacking-wise and didn\u2019t say anything, it was because he was trying to help Hillary. Doesn\u2019t that seem clear?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think there\u2019s a whole lot of factors involved and that\u2019s one of them. They thought Hillary was going to win. So why taint her victory with the story that the Russians were tampering or hacking around in the election? The second thing is, I don\u2019t think he wanted to go public with it as you say, because if the Russians could hack election systems to affect the outcome, which Obama was publicly saying they could not do at the time, if Russia was able to hack the DNC computers and network, then wouldn\u2019t it be a logical conclusion they could get into Hillary\u2019s server and didn\u2019t want to go there.<\/p>\n<p>I think a lot of this was to protect Hillary and Obama himself too. I think this Washington Post story is amazing, 36 pages about the bravery and courage of Obama. And it\u2019s 36 pages of Obama\u2019s impotence, inability to stop this, even while being in full knowledge of it. I still think it\u2019s a hoax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: My opening monologue featured my recollection of thoughts over the weekend about how the momentum might be shifting here.
