Well, you may know. But you don\u2019t know how hard it is to be 150 percent perfectly healthy and sit around and watching this kind of stuff go on and not be able to talk and not be able to say anything. It has been frustrating. I caught a cold (I think that\u2019s what it is) right here in my throat. Monday and Tuesday I literally couldn\u2019t make a noise. And it\u2019s been getting better as the week progresses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-265564 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-010918-America-Anchorman-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-010918-America-Anchorman-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-010918-America-Anchorman-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m having to use my voice actually from the back of my throat rather than my normal breathing diaphragmatically, which is how we trained specialists do it. So, if you notice &#8212; you probably won\u2019t because of all the compression that we put on the audio signal here. But I still have some congestion in the throat. Mark Steyn is standing by to take over in case I lose the voice during the course of the program today. But I just couldn\u2019t sit out another day with all this stuff going on.<\/p>\n<p>So, greetings, great to be back. Great to be here. The telephone number is 800-282-2882, and the email address is ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s review what we\u2019ve got out there. We\u2019ve got Omarosa, we\u2019ve got John Brennan, we have Peter Strzok. We have the media claiming that they are not in any way the enemy of the people or the enemy of Trump, united today against Donald Trump. There\u2019s even a column from earlier in the week in USA Today. You know, when liberals lose elections, in their minds it means the system is failing. When they lose elections it means nothing is working.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s actually a column &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/opinion\/2018\/08\/10\/donald-trump-russia-election-inept-monarch-abolish-presidency-column\/923543002\/\">USA Today actually published a column<\/a> earlier this week suggesting that the only solution is to abolish the presidency. If we can\u2019t get Trump out of office, if all of these combined efforts to send Donald Trump packing are not working, then there\u2019s something wrong.<\/p>\n<p>If they couldn\u2019t beat Donald Trump with the great Hillary Clinton, even though the Russians may have been helping Trump &#8212; I\u2019m just telling you what the column said &#8212; then it\u2019s time to get rid of the Constitution. It has outlived its usefulness. And instead we need to come up with a branch of government &#8212; well, a government only has two branches. And the executive branch would be controlled and lauded over by the judicial and the legislative. I mean, it\u2019s absurd. It\u2019s classic. And this is exactly who the left is.<\/p>\n<p>On the Strzok business. This guy may be &#8212; I don\u2019t know what the latest numbers are &#8212; but he\u2019s gonna end up with a GoFundMe campaign, $400,000. There are going to be angry leftists, there are angry leftists that are donating to a legal defense fund that he may not ever even need. The guy may not ever be charged with anything. He should be, but he may not be. He hasn\u2019t been yet.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got all of these people. I\u2019ve got examples of conservative columns and various commentary, &#8220;Why would people do this? I mean, the guy is a disgrace. He got fired by the FBI. He\u2019s a disgrace.&#8221; I really am &#8212; I don\u2019t know how else to say this &#8212; I\u2019m shocked, I\u2019m a little surprised that there are still people on our side who do not understand the modern-day left.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter what crime anybody commits on the left. If it\u2019s in the service of getting rid of Donald Trump or defeating Republicans and conservatives, it\u2019s gonna be supported. I mean, the left is already a bunch of lawless clowns. Look at sanctuary cities, their attitude on the immigration laws that we have. I mean, Chelsea Clinton, have you heard about this? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/34496\/chelsea-clinton-credits-abortion-saving-american-emily-zanotti\">Chelsea Clinton talking about the great economic boom that we have had as a result of killing 63 million American babies<\/a> since 1973. The economic boom from abortion?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-279282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071318-Strzok-005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071318-Strzok-005.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071318-Strzok-005-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, the economic boom is how much money was spent in the economy having them. She doesn\u2019t even stop to consider what the economic output of 63 million Americans working might be. I mean, these people are totally off their rocker. And to analyze them rationally is to fail entirely I\u2019m trying to figure them out. Why would anybody give money to Strzok Smirk? They love the guy. He tried to get rid of Trump. He tried to get rid of Republicans. He tried to deny the opposition to the Democrats winning. He\u2019s a hero. It doesn\u2019t matter what kind of laws he\u2019s broken. It doesn\u2019t matter that he worked with the FBI breaking the laws.<\/p>\n<p>The left &#8212; Andrew Cuomo. You know, there\u2019s a debate going on, which one\u2019s the real stupid one, Fredo or Andrew? There goes Snerdley in there laughing. But how stupid is this to run around and say that America can\u2019t be great because it\u2019s never been great, and they try to walk it back? He said it. They mean it. We got audio sound bites from their father, Mario &#8220;The Pious&#8221; at the Democrat convention in 1984 saying the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>They believe America isn\u2019t great. Do you remember that convention, Snerdley? Don\u2019t you remember Mario &#8220;The Pious&#8221; going on and on about the shining city on the hill being a myth, of Ronald Reagan\u2019s tunnel vision, Ronald Reagan doesn\u2019t see the real America, there is no shining city on a hill. Instead, Mario &#8220;The Pious&#8221; lists every example of poverty, sadness, grievance that he can find. And he was the hero at the convention. They\u2019re all wishing that Mondale was not the nominee and that Mario &#8220;The Pious&#8221; was.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/532324\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And Mario &#8220;The Pious&#8221; didn\u2019t even hang around and accept accolades. He got on the New York governor\u2019s plane, which at the time was a prop jet, King Air, and flew to Alabama, did something like that. He got out of San Francisco as fast as he could. But he took over that convention. We\u2019re gonna relive that. And of course the media and their, &#8220;We don\u2019t hate Trump. We\u2019re not aligned against Trump. We\u2019re not the enemy.&#8221; We got the media admitting that they are uniting against Donald Trump today in newspapers all across the fruited plain.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Omarosa, it doesn\u2019t take much to talk about Omarosa and be done with it. In the first place, I\u2019m just gonna tell you, do not doubt me, Omarosa, this whole thing is not hurting Trump. It\u2019s not gonna end up hurting Trump, it\u2019s not gonna matter. You have to understand the people that voted for Trump are not gonna be swayed by anything happening in the swamp, including people that turn on Trump.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-258077\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-121417-Omarosa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-121417-Omarosa.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/650-121417-Omarosa-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>And if you look at Trump\u2019s approval numbers in the African-American community, they\u2019re still way up, despite all this. Trump is at 50% approval in Rasmussen. And African-American employment is at a record low. There are real things happening in this country that people are benefiting from. The left have nothing. They don\u2019t have any policies. They don\u2019t have anything they can promise.<\/p>\n<p>Well, they can\u2019t be honest about it. You know the drill on that. Trump\u2019s election was a triumph of policy. It wasn\u2019t a triumph of anything else. It was a triumph of policy and a rejection of Washington, D.C., a rejection of what has become politics as usual, and nothing\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I just couldn\u2019t sit out another day with all this stuff going on. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":263840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>I Couldn\u2019t Stay Away Another Day Amid All This Leftist Lunacy!
