RUSH: Actually, you know, to be honest, I started getting irritated last night. I don\u2019t watch much cable news, primarily for this reason actually. It\u2019s not to be critical of cable news. Everybody needs to eat, everybody has to do things they love for a living and so forth. I just… You know, you go through phases where things are informing, entertaining, educational, or what have you. Nothing that I say is intended to be personally critical of anybody. That\u2019s another thing regular listeners know: I don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t create feuds between me and other people that do this. I was just happy to go… It was The Ingraham Angle last night, Laura Ingraham\u2019s show. It was a segment on… I don\u2019t even know what the segment was on, but as soon as I tune in I conclude that there\u2019s not a person on that panel that thinks the Republicans can hold the House. Everybody\u2019s acting like it\u2019s a fait accompli. “Yeah, the Democrats are gonna win the House.” It is? Why are we thinking this way? This blue wave business?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I still think it can be dealt with. I think the Democrats can be beaten. You know, that kind of rubbed me wrong to hear. I mean, here we are not even to August yet and people are reacting to polling data and consultants and said, “Yeah, it\u2019s axiomatic! The Democrats gonna win the House and they may even… You know what, Rush? They may even win the Senate!” Really? And then CNN over there and CNN\u2019s talking about Trump is so desperate, so scared, so frightened of losing the House that he wants to step up the rallies.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t seen any evidence of this — and then I started realizing the cat problem I was gonna have this morning. So I went to bed. I was in a foul humor when I went to bed. I should have stayed with watching Inspector Morse instead of checking out cable news because then I hear we don\u2019t have a chance of holding the House. It\u2019s already done and over with, and then Trump is so panicked he\u2019s thinking about doing more rallies.<\/p>\n

So I go to bed fully aware of the monumental task of getting the cat to the dentist for gingivitis today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Steve in Kansas City, Missouri, you\u2019re next. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I appreciate you taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. There\u2019s LeBron James right up there talking to Don Lemon. LeBron James noted political scientist be sitting there looking… Well, never mind. I don\u2019t want…. No. No. Not gonna go there. But Trump is dividing people using sports to do so. Who started it, LeBron? I didn\u2019t mean to interrupt you out there, Steve. What\u2019s up?<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: It\u2019s okay, Rush. My contention is that the president\u2019s most dangerous enemies are not the Democrats or Mueller right now. His most dangerous enemies are those that are right around him: Senator McConnell and Speaker Ryan. I think they really do not care one way or the other. In fact, with Ryan leaving, I don\u2019t think he cares whether the House of Representatives is lost because they ultimately want to get rid of the president. He\u2019s got to shut down the government if necessary to get the funding for the wall. That\u2019s one of the main reasons I voted for him. I\u2019m a lifelong Republican who voted for every Republican candidate for the last 35 years. This is essential. This is where you gotta draw a line in the sand, period.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, and I think you\u2019re not alone. I think there are a lot of people who voted for Trump who now make up the Republican base who think the same. I\u2019m only gonna take a minor disagreement — and it is a really razor-thin, minor disagreement. I think that the greatest enemy Trump faces… (sigh) You know, you\u2019re probably right. It\u2019s a toss-up. I was gonna say the media. I really think the greatest challenge the country has is the media.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, the problem, Rush, is that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Trump\u2019s found a way to deal with the media. You\u2019re right. He hasn\u2019t found a way to get around the Republican leadership consistently.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s kind of like Julius Caesar with Brutus. You know the very ones right around him are trying to stab him in the back, and I think they want rid of him just as badly as the Democrats do. But if he\u2019ll stand hard on this, we\u2019ll keep the House of Representatives, and we\u2019ll have a better speaker in the first place who we can get these things done in this next term and he\u2019ll win reelection.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. I\u2019m of the same opinion. I also think that there\u2019s no reason to start talking today about losing the House being axiomatic. Byron York has a piece about that today. He\u2019s not saying that per se, but I\u2019m gonna use it to bounce off of. It seems to be encroaching conventional wisdom now that the Republicans are gonna lose the House. Maybe not in a gigantic blue wave, but they\u2019re gonna lose it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I blanch at that kind of talk because of the attitude that it represents. Other people say, “Well, Rush you gotta be real. You\u2019re Mr. Realville. You\u2019re the mayor of Realville. I mean, it\u2019s real.” But it\u2019s not real \u2019til it happens! You know, I also believe in self-fulfilling prophecies. There\u2019s no reason. Why are we gonna start accepting polling data now when we know how wrong it\u2019s been in the past. But to me it\u2019s not even that complicated. Why give up? Why just assume? You talk about Brutus and Julius Caesar. “Et tu, Brute.” Don\u2019t forget what Delilah did to Samson. That\u2019s also a factor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Susan, Scottsdale, Arizona. Glad you called, and welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Dan\u2019s Bake Cake [sic] dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The Republicans and Democrats only came out about the Democrats taking back Congress after President Trump said that he would close down the government for the wall. So it\u2019s reverse psychology. I think they know if President Trump takes that stand that he will absolutely win everything.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean if the president does take steps to shut down the government, that he will get what he wants?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. They only came out saying that the Democrats were gonna take back Congress after President Trump said he was gonna shut down the government for the wall.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, I see the timeline that you have assembled on this — and within, you know, a narrow period of time you might be right. But the Democrats have been predicting they\u2019re gonna win the House since last December, when the first generic polling data came out. Actually longer than that, but when they had polling data that showed them with a 15-point lead in the generic ballot, they started talking about this blue wave, blue wave, blue wave. And with the timeline beginning the December, now here we are late July, and some conservative Republicans are now thinking, “Yeah. Yeah. Thirty days ago, Rush, I wouldn\u2019t have believed it, but this has been a bad month. That Helsinki thing, that press conference was bad, and the separating the kids and their parents? That\u2019s done Trump in.”<\/p>\n

You really believe that?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me explain my comment that came over the ear-splitting tone. Byron York\u2019s story in the barbiturate examiner, the headline: “After \u201930 Days of [Excrement],\u2019 GOP Midterm Elections Fear Rises.<\/a>” So it\u2019s about a political consultant “whose name we would all know” who\u2019s not named. We don\u2019t know who it is, but we would know if he was named, and the guy claims that 30 days ago, 60 days ago, 120 days ago he didn\u2019t buy into this conventional wisdom that the Democrats were gonna take back the House.<\/p>\n

But that the last 30 days, everything\u2019s gone to excrement. Everything has gone to hell. The last 30 days Trump may have blown it for two reasons: A, separating parents from their children at the border among illegal aliens. Yes, the consultant… Remember, is a Republican political consultant. I don\u2019t know who this guy is. He could be one of these people that\u2019s hated Trump from the get-go and never did think Republicans were gonna keep the House. Just saying so for emphasis. I don\u2019t know who it is. I don\u2019t think Byron identifies him here.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is typical, inside-the-Beltway type thinking. I will guarantee you that not a single Trump voter has decided to not vote Republican or Trump because of this manufactured story about kids and adults being separated at the border. Those people are well-enough informed to know that Trump didn\u2019t start that, that that was a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal legal decision in 1997, I believe, that started this process. We\u2019ve been through this I don\u2019t know how many times. They have to be separated when the parents file for asylum.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the cog in the wheel! You\u2019re only allowed to hold kids 20 days. When they show up illegally, they are held in different sectors because one\u2019s for adults, one\u2019s for kids. They showed up on their own! They arrive as illegal. They arrive breaking the law. We have had policies in place to deal with it. The kids go to one camp over here — where it\u2019s nice and they\u2019re not mistreated in the slightest. The parents go to a different one. If the parents file for asylum, well, that takes a long time to process.<\/p>\n

But you can only hold the kids for 20 days.<\/p>\n

So after 20 days the kids have to be released while the parents are still being held. That\u2019s been U.S. law for I don\u2019t know how long. That\u2019s what Obama took advantage of by swooping in and picking those kids up and taking them all over the country and dispatching them to the equivalent of Democrat foster parents. Trump didn\u2019t start this! Trump came up with an executive order to stop the separation. Anyway, this consultant wants us to believe that the Republicans were trucking along just fine and it looked like we\u2019re gonna hold the House until that story hit.<\/p>\n

And when that story hit, a bunch of people decided they hated Republicans and just couldn\u2019t vote for them. I just don\u2019t think it works that way! The second thing the consultant says is that Trump did so badly in Helsinki. He just botched the press conference with Putin so bad that he embarrassed everybody, and now a bunch of people that were gonna vote Republican simply aren\u2019t, in House races, because Donald Trump was eaten for lunch by Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Now, tell me something honestly, folks. Do you believe people…? Would you change your vote in an upcoming House race where you live because of those two events? Give me a break. This is how Washington professional consultants think that people change their votes or decide to change their vote, vote for somebody else, based on the way the media covers an event. But then I\u2019m reminded I was in California shortly after this faux, manufactured controversy of separating young children from their parents at the border came up. Remember, I told you about this.<\/p>\n

One of my gulf buddies said, “Oh, those pictures look bad, Rush! It looks really bad for Trump.”<\/p>\n

“What pictures? There weren\u2019t any pictures.”<\/p>\n

“Well, the media. The media is talking.”<\/p>\n

I said, “You know it\u2019s a bunch of BS!”<\/p>\n

They said, “Yeah, Rush, but it looks really bad.”<\/p>\n

“What do you mean, ‘It looks bad\u2019?” I lost it with the guy. I didn\u2019t lose it with him as much as I\u2019m losing it with you telling you about it. I said, “You are falling for the exact ploy and trick the media is trying to get you to fall for. They\u2019re trying to get you to abandon what you know to be truthful because of some of the images they are creating.”<\/p>\n

“It looks bad, Rush, I gotta tell you.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“What? You mean you have trouble defending this.” That\u2019s what it comes down to.<\/p>\n

“Well, I — I can\u2019t, Rush! I — I can\u2019t defend separating…”<\/p>\n

“Do you know what the rule has been? Do you know what the policy has been? Do you know it\u2019s been going on for 25 years?”<\/p>\n

“No, I didn\u2019t know. I don\u2019t care how long it\u2019s been going on. I just can\u2019t defend it, Rush.”<\/p>\n

“How about trying? How about trying? How about trying? It doesn\u2019t take much to defend it. You just tell people the media\u2019s lying to \u2019em about it. That\u2019s all you have to do! You just tell \u2019em, ‘The media is making it up. They\u2019re exaggerating it. It\u2019s not nearly as bad as they\u2019re telling you.\u2019 You know the media does that. Why are you falling for this?” I was really beside myself with frustration because this guy\u2019s smart, but here he was falling for it.<\/p>\n

He probably fell for the news about Helsinki, that Trump performed horribly in Helsinki.<\/p>\n

But, anyway, so we have a story consultant, “Yeah, Republicans are looking great. They were looking really trying to do, really strong, and then at it last 30 days Trump has just blown it. Separating kids from their parents and that performance in Helsinki. So now people are falling for, “Yeah, I think it is possible Democrats will win the House, Rush? Yeah, I really think so! Oh, yeah, they may be. Maybe not by much, but they may win.” Really? I mean, they may one the House, but this isn\u2019t gonna be the reason why. If the Democrats win House back, these reasons are not gonna be why.<\/p>\n

Do I have time? Yeah. Let\u2019s squeeze another call in here. Jason in Brooklyn. You\u2019re next. It\u2019s great to have you. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Greetings from the garden spot of the world, New York City and Brooklyn. How these consultants can actually think this when of the polls in 2016 were wrong every single time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ok.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And it\u2019s disgusting. Bernie Sanders was supposed to lose Michigan by 25. He lost. (sic)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Nate Silver said Hillary had, what was it, an 85, 75% chance to win at the beginning of the night? She lost. All these people are believing polls that are wrong and have been wrong for years. Remember back in 2004, the exit polls said that John Kerry was going to win the presidency.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s true, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So why these consultants class believe this? I mean, I have an idea.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, tell me what it is.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because the consultants are part of the establishment. They\u2019re part of the deep state. They\u2019re part of the people who weren\u2019t hired by Trump and their class. So they need to get back their power, so let\u2019s promote the fact that Trump\u2019s gonna lose, Congress is gonna lose, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think they ever want Trump to win. I don\u2019t think they want the Republicans to win the midterms. Some of these people wanted the Republican Party to lose everything. That was the only way they could save the party was by losing everything. Remember that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s been going on for as long as you\u2019ve been around, 30 years tomorrow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Reagan, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Even before that, back in the eighties with Reagan.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. And these people do not get the fact that polls are always oversampled Democratic. The polls… Don\u2019t believe the social media because social media is a cesspool. Don\u2019t believe the polls that you\u2019re getting, don\u2019t believe all these articles. Just vote in November and Republicans will win. Because let me tell you something. Trump is successful. He is! He\u2019s continuing to be successful. That 4.1% GDP? That\u2019s successful to me. Tax cuts? That\u2019s successful to me.Keep going. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. But don\u2019t you know the media is saying, “It\u2019s strange! Nobody knows why. But this is the first time in American history where a president with a booming economy will not benefit from it.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Sure. Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And Barack Obama was the first president American history not to be hurt by a slagging economy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Okay. Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The real question is: Are the Russians meddling in the economy?<\/p>\n

\"\"BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Marshall, North Carolina. This is Linda. Great to have you. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Dittos, Mr. Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a question for you and a comment about the wall, if I may.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sure. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, first of all, my comment about the election is I don\u2019t believe Mr. Rosenstein at all. I believe that it was rigged. It was rigged by the Democrats, and it was rigged right from the very beginning with Bernie Sanders. He should have been the nominee. I think he would have gone a lot further than Hillary, and I wonder what it would have been like with Donald Trump versus Mr. Sanders. What do you think?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t know. I think Bernie would have done better than Hillary.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It would have been close. But, look, Rosenstein was saying that the Russians didn\u2019t affect the outcome of presidential race. He wasn\u2019t talking about the Democrat primary. It may have been the Russians that rigged it against Crazy Bernie, but if they did, they were working with Hillary. Because with Hillary and the Democrat National Committee, it wasn\u2019t so much rigging as it was a predetermined outcome. Hillary was gonna win that primary no matter what happened. They were gonna do that with superdelegates, and no matter how many election states that Bernie Sanders won, the superdelegates — enough of them — were gonna go for Hillary. It was a prearrangement. To say that the thing was actually rigged might give the wrong idea. It was literally like a prearranged marriage, you know, in another country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
