RUSH: We go to Athens, New York. Pat, welcome. Great to have you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019m a big fan. I\u2019ve been listening to you since you were on TV. And I think I might have a theory about why the deep state is so nervous about President Trump. I think they saw the thousands and thousands of people at his rallies and how they were chanting to lock Hillary up and also his promise to drain the swamp. And I think maybe that just made their hair stand up.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-021218-Trump-Rally.jpg\")
RUSH: Well, yeah. I mean, I agree with all that. But what I\u2019m saying today is I think it\u2019s more. Because some of this stuff, some of this stuff had to have started even before the rallies. I think the rallies, since you bring them up, I don\u2019t think the rallies scare them. I think the rallies just make \u2019em mad as hell. And I think those rallies add to the contempt they have for the American people.<\/p>\n
They start out hating Donald Trump because he has the audacity to challenge them. But then when people love the guy, well, that just infuriates, just infuriates. These people don\u2019t spend a moment of their day appealing to the American people. Something you have to realize here, folks, and this is the great danger posed by the deep state.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t need your support to do what they do. They don\u2019t have to campaign for your support. Most of them are never elected. Most of them you never heard of and you don\u2019t know, never will know what they do. And that\u2019s just the way they like it. They don\u2019t think you are a qualified to know what they do. They don\u2019t think you\u2019re capable of being smart enough to even vote on it. That\u2019d scare the hell out of them if they had to be elected to do what they do as well.<\/p>\n
So they see all of that, and it just confirms for them that this country can\u2019t be left to the American people to decide who leads it. That\u2019s what they see with the rallies. I\u2019m convinced that the reaction they have to Trump is personal and visceral, sheer, raw hatred. And not for anything specific. Just because Trump is Trump and just because he\u2019s confident and just because he\u2019ll call \u2019em out and just because he\u2019s gregarious and enjoying the hell out of what he\u2019s doing and bringing people along with him.<\/p>\n
Somebody like that will constitute a threat. Remember, these people that I\u2019m talking about in the deep state, and they are intelligence people, staff people, the State Department, and they\u2019re not all in intelligence. Don\u2019t misunderstand. But these are people that live and work in offices you don\u2019t even know exist. And they really do think that the voting public ought to have no input whatsoever in what they do or who should be doing it.<\/p>\n
And so they look at Trump and they realize that he is not somebody they can dominate when he\u2019s in office. They\u2019re not gonna be able to intimidate him. And on the campaign trail, he\u2019s promising to blow up and undo much of what their lives have been devoted to.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/HAtedemocrats-hate-us.jpg\")
But the thing to take away from this is that they\u2019re not worried when they see you out there supporting Trump, and they\u2019re not concerned when they hear you shout “lock her up.” They are livid. Who the hell do you think you are, is what they say. And their instinct is gonna be to do anything to make sure you people have no say in what\u2019s going on. Well, that meant, among other things, get rid of Trump. But that would happen even before you get involved in it by attending a rally or showing your support.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pure, unadulterated, visceral hate. And they\u2019re admitting it now, folks. The Never Trumpers on our side, same thing. They can\u2019t stand the way he talks. Everything that comes out of his mouth has disqualified him since he got elected. “Everything, every tweet, everything he says offends us!” We\u2019re dealing with the biggest bunch of arrogant, effete snobs you can imagine!<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s Bob in Chicago. Bob, I\u2019m glad you waited. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Happy 30th.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You\u2019re an awesome guy. Thank you and keep pushing back against the false narrative and all this Russian stuff that\u2019s really — it\u2019s old, actually. I turn the channels on the news. You know, they all say the same stuff. I\u2019d like to know, I was standing in line on Election Day, I was in an Italian area, there\u2019s two older Italian men, I heard \u2019em whispering, “I wonder how he\u2019s gonna vote.” I turn around, I go, “Are you talking to me?”<\/p>\n
They go, “Oh, we\u2019re sorry, we\u2019re sorry, we\u2019re just wondering, looking at people, how they would vote.” I go, “Who do you think I would look like I would vote for?” They go, “Ah, ah.” I go, “I\u2019ll give you hint, it starts with a capital T.” And they both screamed in unison, “Trump!”<\/p>\n
They were lifelong Democrats, they said, and they had enough of it, and they voted for Trump. That\u2019s how Trump got in. And another thing. My wife\u2019s from Guatemala, legally, legally, capital L. And we got her sister-in-law in here legally, and her mother. Hey, liberals, guess who they voted for? They voted for Trump too. Big capital T.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The point that you\u2019re making is that Trump has a lot of crossover voters from areas that people would not think would support him?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly. They don\u2019t know what\u2019s really going on. Every day when I get home from work and I sit with my family, the news is; so what are they saying negative about Trump today? I go, who cares? It\u2019s all the same thing. They just want to get rid of him because they don\u2019t like him.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Exactly. Look, don\u2019t take this the wrong way, folks, but don\u2019t flatter yourselves. They don\u2019t care what you think except to learn where you stand. And where you stand will determine how they\u2019re gonna treat you and how they\u2019re gonna react to you. They don\u2019t care how you think. You either are somebody with them or somebody that needs to be nullified. You\u2019re with them or somebody that needs to be discounted, destroyed, what have you.<\/p>\n

See, this is another thing that\u2019s amazed me from the beginning of this. If you\u2019re a Republican or Democrat consultant, if your job is to get candidates elected, look with great interest at how uninterested these people are in finding out who Trump voters are. They don\u2019t care. They\u2019re just not gonna let this happen again. They really don\u2019t care. They don\u2019t care to find out why you voted for Trump. They\u2019ll assign stupidity. They\u2019ll assign conspiracy theories. They\u2019ll assign anger. They\u2019ll assign irrationality. They will assign everything but the real reasons that you voted for him. They don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
Their only objective is to disqualify the outcome, to make sure that Trump\u2019s victory doesn\u2019t end up meaning anything, meaning he doesn\u2019t get to implement much of his agenda. And they\u2019re failing at a lot of it! And that explains why their anger is continuing to ratchet up. They can\u2019t stop the guy! They can\u2019t get rid of the guy! In their minds, they\u2019re a zillion times smarter, they\u2019re a zillion times more sophisticated.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re supposed to be able to shape public opinion, and they fail, and they fail, and they can\u2019t succeed whatsoever when it comes to stopping Trump. So if they were really as smart as they are, they would be doing everything they can to find out who you are, to learn how to beat you. But they\u2019re not. They\u2019re so obstinate and they are so stubborn that that doesn\u2019t interest them. In effect, you don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
They watch these Trump rallies, and they\u2019re not impressed, and they\u2019re not scared, and they\u2019re not this. They just assign it all to stupidity, stupidity they have to overcome, find a way around or what have you. I mean, there isn\u2019t any respect extended to you and the people you vote for, not just Trump, whatsoever.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Frank in Silver Bay, Minnesota. Great you waited, sir, you. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush. Pleasure to talk to you. I just wanted to weigh in on Robert Reichhhh\u2019s comments. You know, our vote is more important than the presidency itself. They could use a little education in Washington. It carries more weight because by virtue of our votes and the tax dollars we spend, we\u2019re all shareholders in this country. <\/p>\n
And we put a guy in there to do what we would like him to do. And he would have to annul the Constitution in basic to annul his presidency. We put him there. These guys walking down the street, when they talk to a street sweeper or anybody, we are really their bosses. We call the shots.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062618-Trump-Rally-2.jpg\")
RUSH: Well, let me let you in on something. You may look at it that way, but they don\u2019t. And they haven\u2019t in I can\u2019t tell you how long a period of time. They don\u2019t look at you as their boss. The people we\u2019re talking about. They\u2019re still people — I need to be very careful. There are still people who revere the Constitution, who revere the American public, in that sense, Trump is a throwback. There\u2019s never been, since Ronald Reagan — folks, do not doubt me — there hasn\u2019t been a presidential candidate who\u2019s made a personal connection, built a personal bond with his voters like Donald Trump in my lifetime. <\/p>\n
What there has been, there have been nominees and candidates who have been popular. But Hillary never had a bond, for example. Maybe with a few angry feminazi type women. But even then it was what Hillary represented more than Hillary herself. I think Bernie, strangely enough, had closest to a Trump kind of bond with many of his voters. I don\u2019t think Mitt Romney ever had it. George W. Bush started out having a bit of a bond. You have to have some element to get elected president. But there\u2019s nobody in Trump\u2019s league. <\/p>\n
Now, the people you\u2019re talking about, many of them would be happy to nullify the Second Amendment. If they could, they\u2019d erase it. It never existed. You gotta understand who these people are. To get rid of Donald Trump, I\u2019m telling you, there is nothing that justifies not doing it, as far as they\u2019re concerned, no matter what other damage is caused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
