<\/p>\nRUSH: We\u2019ll start with Frank in Long Valley, New Jersey. I\u2019m glad you waited Frank. How you doing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Good, Rush, how are you? Those polls that you just read lead right into what I\u2019m saying. It\u2019s time for Trump to ratchet up the verbiage that this is not an attack on him, but it\u2019s an attack on us. It\u2019s an attack on the American people, the tens of millions of people that voted for him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He should be saying every single day, “You sent me here to expose this corruption. I\u2019m doing it. You sent me here to change the way Washington has normally been run. I\u2019m doing it. They don\u2019t like it. They\u2019re attacking me, but I\u2019m just the person that\u2019s here. They\u2019re not really attacking me; they\u2019re attacking you.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, except that Trump thinks they\u2019re attacking him.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, I know. I know it\u2019s against what he normally says and normally does —<\/p>\n
RUSH: But actually no, he did this after his lawyer\u2019s office was raided by the FBI in conjunction with the SDNY, he said this is an attack on America.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, he said it was an attack more on America as far as going against the lawyer-and-client privilege. He needs to make the whole thing an attack on us. He needs to make the Mueller investigation —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay, why? To what end? Is it just to satisfy you? What would be the —<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, no, no. Not to satisfy me. Here\u2019s the point. They\u2019ll never, ever — just my personal opinion. The Democrats will never, ever impeach him. First of all, they have to come out — the only way they could even sell the American people on it is with Russian collusion. The reason Stormy Daniels now is 24\/7 is because they\u2019re trying to make you forget about Russian collusion, as you so perfectly put, they don\u2019t have Russian collusion, and there never will be Russian collusion. So he needs now to ratchet it up because even if he — and the great line from The Raging Bull, if he wins he wins by staying in, but if he loses we still win if they get him out.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019re saying a lot of provocative things here. I don\u2019t mean that negatively. You\u2019re saying things I want to react to, so let\u2019s slow down here and back up. You say they\u2019ll never impeach him because there\u2019s no evidence of Russian collusion.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, no. They\u2019re gonna need Russian collusion to convince the American people that it was the correct —<\/p>\n
RUSH: They don\u2019t — look, look, look, look. It\u2019s not about convincing the American people of anything. Impeachment is exclusively a political event. It is not about —<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s why they can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: No, that\u2019s exactly why they will.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, they will get crushed. He needs to start ratcheting it up now for the midterms. See, they don\u2019t hate him for his policies. They hate him for his tactics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH: No. They hate him because he\u2019s an outsider that\u2019s come in and turned everything upside down. They hate him for everything. They hate that he won. They hate that he ran. They hate that he\u2019s outsmarting them. They hate that they can\u2019t get rid of him. But when it comes to impeachment, the only way it\u2019s gonna happen is if the Democrats win the House. And I\u2019m here to tell you that if they win the House, they are going to put together articles of impeachment the House of Representatives, and they\u2019re not gonna need Russian collusion.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re gonna be able to come up with everything that has offended them politically, from immigration and talking about the wall, to his extramarital affairs, to his basic uncouth personality, they\u2019re gonna throw that all in there. Now, you\u2019re gonna say, “Wait a minute, how\u2019s that high crimes and misdemeanors?\u2019 It isn\u2019t. But they\u2019ve got everybody on their side of the aisle, every Democrat voter salivating to have this guy impeached and frog-marched out of the White House.<\/p>\n
They will have, in other words, the political strength on their side alone if they run the House to pass articles of impeachment. But that doesn\u2019t mean they get a conviction in the Senate. Now, if the Republicans still hold Senate in this scenario and the Democrats win the House, that might impede them, but I think they\u2019re gonna do it anyway, whether they get a conviction in the Senate or not, if for no other reason than to satisfy the — I\u2019m my wits\u2019 end to try to describe the unhinged mental state of your average radical leftist Democrat voter.<\/p>\n
They want blood. They want pain. And the Democrats are hell-bent to give it to them. And that will be done by virtue of articles of impeachment. And the safe thing for them is if there isn\u2019t a conviction.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Listen, I agree with you that that will probably occur, but they will lose the political vote because of it. They will do that because they\u2019re nuts and they\u2019re radical; I agree with you. But if they don\u2019t have clear evidence — and you\u2019re exactly right. Mueller raided that office because there\u2019s no clear evidence and there won\u2019t be. If they don\u2019t have clear evidence of Russian collusion and they do exactly what you say they do, which they will if they win the House, they will suffer a political disaster worse than the next generation.<\/p>\n
Because the American people that voted for him, the American centrists that voted for him, the people that know about the corruption, the people that are tired of the way things are going and they\u2019re tired of the same old lousy system that\u2019s been in place are gonna explode, because that\u2019s all they sold us on was Russian collusion.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/310-Stormy-Daniels.jpg\")
CALLER: Stormy Daniels, everything else you\u2019re talking about they will use. It will be the biggest political disaster of all time.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m just telling you that even if they agree with you, they are still going to impeach. It\u2019s like they\u2019ve got a bunch of Draculas and they\u2019re all needing blood to stay alive. And the Democrats are gonna give it to them even if it means they lose in 2020. They have to give it to \u2019em because that\u2019s the source of their money, it\u2019s the source of their power. The Democrats have created a literally rabid base of Democrat voters. And they have gone unrequited.<\/p>\n
The Democrats in the media have assured them for a year-and-a-half they\u2019re gonna get Trump. They\u2019ve assured them and lied to them that Trump colluded. They\u2019ve got these people on the verge of being insane as their standard normal, everyday operating mood. And they\u2019re gonna have to satisfy that.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re gonna do it, they\u2019re gonna start satisfying it in the campaign. They try to do each and every day now with the daily assaults and attacks on Trump. But all I\u2019m trying to tell you is the level and intensity of the hate for Donald Trump on the radical left of this country — and I\u2019m talking about average, ordinary Americans, not the Democrat leadership — is off the charts.<\/p>\n
You and I can\u2019t comprehend it because we don\u2019t hate anybody, and we certainly don\u2019t harbor this kind of animosity toward anybody. They live with it each and every day. And the Democrats in elected office are gonna have to feed this beast. And if they win the House, they\u2019re gonna do impeachment or they\u2019re gonna get as close to it as they can. Your point that if they do, they\u2019re just disqualifying themselves from winning again any time soon —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Without a full report from Robert Mueller that there was absolute Russian collusion between him and Putin, 100% they\u2019re done. And I\u2019m gonna tell you you were a genius coming out ahead of time telling everybody that the raid on his office, on Trump\u2019s lawyer\u2019s office was because he\u2019s trying to induce him to fire everybody, that was exactly, exactly what he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n
And if Trump plays it off — and I hope Dershowitz told him last night at dinner not to do that, which I don\u2019t believe he\u2019s gonna even come close to firing anybody, he needs to come out there and say, “I\u2019m not gonna let them attack us anymore. I\u2019m here for us.” It\u2019s gotta be “us” and “we” from this point on. And he\u2019s gotta emphasize it, if they win the House, if they win the House, this corruption, everything that we\u2019ve started to expose goes back behind closed doors and all of you will be subject to a corrupt government the rest of your lives.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Look. You are, in the normal ebb and flow of the day\u2019s events, you\u2019re absolutely correct philosophically and predictably in what you\u2019re saying, but there\u2019s an aspect of Trump that you have to know that you may not. And the best way I can illustrate it, \u2019cause you want Trump to pretty much every day take the news of the day and go to the cameras and microphones, tell the American people essentially, the people that voted for him, “Folks, you are under assault. You are under attack. I\u2019m under attack. They are trying to get us,” whatever.<\/p>\n
Now, here\u2019s the problem with this. I don\u2019t know that Trump is capable of doing it. Let me tell you a story. This is not a criticism. This is a teachable moment. There\u2019s a young man by the name of Charlie Kirk. I\u2019ve gotten to know him. He runs a youthful Millennial aged organization. What\u2019s the name of the group, Snerdley? Turning Point USA<\/a>.<\/p>\n Charlie Kirk is one of these young conservatives that is attempting to marshal conservative action, thought, instructing it, really trying to create as much conservatism in the Millennial generation as he can. He was honored at the White House by Trump not long ago. They did a little ceremony honoring the effort to spread conservatism and Charlie\u2019s organization of Millennials.<\/p>\n
