RUSH: “Jim Acosta: ‘Having the President Whip People Up at Rally After Rally Is the Most Depressing Thing I\u2019ve Seen as a Journalist.<\/a>‘” This is at the Citizen CNN conference yesterday in New York City.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ACOSTA: If you want to ask me what makes me the most depressed about my job, it\u2019s covering the rallies. And it gets to the larger point of what it\u2019s like covering the president of the United States, in — in particular Donald Trump. In many ways, the danger is not what Trump is doing to America. The danger is how America is changing under Trump. And I never thought I would see the day where I would go to a political rally — and, you know, people would give you a hard time — you know, people yelled at me at Hillary Clinton rallies during the 2008 campaign. But at rally after rally after rally, having the president of the United States whip people up into a frenzy and attack the press, to me, is the — the mo — most depressing thing that I\u2019ve ever witnessed as a journalist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Man, oh, man. Where has this guy been? (summary) “To see Trump whipping people up at rally after rally and having people get mad at me as a journalist is the most depressing thing I\u2019ve seen as a journalist.” Jim, you can give it up. You got all kinds of stuff. You could go be a waiter. You obviously listen well. Ahem! Mr. Acosta, however, was not finished. Somebody needs to walk the guy back from the ledge here.<\/p>\n

ACOSTA: You have thousands and thousands of people who are willing to join in and do the same thing. Um, at the rally in Montana the other night, uh, when President Trump praised Greg Gianforte for body slamming Ben Jacobs, I remember looking over to the supporters in the crowd. And there was one guy, one young man who was doing these body slam moves. You know, and — and — and he and his buddies were all getting a good laugh out of it. And then he looked at me, and he goes like this, like, “I\u2019m gonna cut your throat.” And, you know, just… (stammering) I went up to him afterwards, over, and I talked to him about. And — and he was just sort of laughing about it. I — I — I guess he wasn\u2019t serious about it. But, to me, that\u2019s the Trump effect on America.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you make of this? So it\u2019s no different than when Trump is on stage, “Hey, Russia? Hey, Russia! Maybe you could find Hillary\u2019s emails. The media\u2019s looking for them and nobody can find them. Maybe you can find Hillary\u2019s 30,000 emails and let the media know. They\u2019d love to hear from you.” And everybody on the left\/the media has a heart attack thinking Trump is asking the Russians to hack Hillary\u2019s server.<\/p>\n

Hillary\u2019s already done the hack! Hillary\u2019s already done whatever she\u2019s done to hide the emails. No sense of humor! These people have no ability whatsoever to relate to people as they actually live! So Trump praises a guy for being able to body slam somebody. They see no humor in it. They don\u2019t have any idea how to relate to that. They see that; they think Trump… They really do. They think Trump is promoting violence. They think Trump is recommending and praising voter violence. “Body slamming somebody!”<\/p>\n

They just… I have never seen a group of people this large that is so distant and absent from reality, from day-to-day life and how people talk to each other. He goes up to this guy and the guy\u2019s laughing. “Hey, man! Hey, Jim Acosta. How are you doing? I really didn\u2019t want to slit your throat. You know, I\u2019m just funning with you, dude. You\u2019re out there trying to destroy everything I believe in, Mr. Acosta. I\u2019m just having a little fun with you!”<\/p>\n

\"\"So these people in journalism, they can go out and they can destroy anybody they want. They can take shots at anybody they want. The people at that rally have respect for Trump. The media can do whatever they want to try to destroy Trump. But you let somebody throw it back on them and it\u2019s a gigantic disgrace. It shows something terribly wrong with American culture. What\u2019s wrong with American culture is that the elites of Washington, D.C., not only do not understand real-life America, they don\u2019t like it much. They really have…<\/p>\n

I think what they hate about Trump more than anything is those of you who elected him. I think that\u2019s what this really boils down to, when you get down to brass tacks.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So CNN with their daylong “Trump lies, Trump this, Trump that, spreading lies and hate prior to the election,” all this stuff. The media is totally aligned in this narrative today. Jim Acosta at a CNN event yesterday said (summarized), “Having the president whip people up at rally after rally, it\u2019s the most depressing thing I\u2019ve seen as a journalist.” You know why it\u2019s depressing? The reason it\u2019s depressing is because he sees it.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s seeing all of this love, all of this massive support for Trump while he harbors hatred for Trump, and therefore he harbors hatred for the people who are there. I think, when you synthesize all of this down, the real resentment here is for the people who voted for Trump. The real hatred among Never Trumpers — among leftists, Washington establishmentarians, the elites, the people that think they\u2019re better and smarter than everybody else, and particularly the great unwashed, the hoi polloi who elected Trump.<\/p>\n

“If not for them, then we wouldn\u2019t be going through this nightmare!” They see these people as stupid! “You fell for it! You fell for this charlatan. You fell for the guy with orange hair! You fell for the guy who didn\u2019t even intend to win the election.” He was doing it for TV ratings or some such same thing in their minds. When you get right down to it, their resentment is for you, and it always has been.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The elites have always had a condescending, almost contemptuous attitude toward people they view as average people, the non-famous. The people that make the country work that nobody\u2019s ever heard of; nobody knows. They\u2019re judged to be not very bright, very easily fooled as evidenced by Trump. So when there is a Trump rally — and there are Trump rallies four times a week now, and they were frequent during the campaign — the anger and the rage just compounded among the media and among the intelligentsia and the Never Trumpers.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing for Trump to go out there and do what he\u2019s doing. It\u2019s quite another for so many millions of people to love it and to adore it. That\u2019s what\u2019s scary to Jim Acosta because Jim Acosta has spent, along with everybody else in the Drive-By Media, the last two years trying to make you not want to go to a Trump rally! Jim Acosta and his buddies in the media have spent the last 2\/1-2\/three years trying to make you hate Donald Trump the way they do! They\u2019ve tried to make you afraid of Donald Trump!<\/p>\n

They have done everything they can, everything they know, everything that\u2019s always worked in the past to get you to abandon Donald Trump. And what do you do? Why, you just attach yourself even tighter to Trump and his presidency and his campaigns. And they are livid. They\u2019re livid at their inability to influence you. So what they do is tell you themselves you\u2019re too stupid to know what\u2019s good for you, which is how the left looks at the body politic in general.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s how the left, it\u2019s how Obama, it\u2019s how Hillary Clinton… The deplorables. Like Hillary Clinton can says (summarized), “Well, incivility is warranted until we get our power back. Things will get civil again when everything is made normal with us back in power.” They\u2019ve done everything they can — everything that\u2019s always worked to destroy Republicans in the past and to make you abandon them! They\u2019ve got it down pat.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve perfected the various attack plans, the various schemes to make you distrust. And, by the way, Republicans in the past have kind of helped out in that regard by campaigning on the promise to do this that or the other. They get into office; they do just the exact opposite. So it\u2019s been a perfect storm if the media. They\u2019ve had Republicans who are elected, properly intimidated. They\u2019ve been able to persuade you that various Republicans stink, not worth your support.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve able to get rid of pretty much whoever they wanted to. There\u2019s Jim Acosta in Houston, Texas, last night, 25,000 people outside, 17,000 people inside — just roaring and cheering and having the best time they\u2019ve had in a week or longer — and he can\u2019t stand it. After all his hard work trying to get you to hate Trump?<\/p>\n

After all of his hard work trying to get you to abandon Trump, to see the truth about Trump, and you keep falling for the lies, and you keep falling for the hate? Yeah, you\u2019re the problem. Jeff Flake was also at the CNN event yesterday. The Citizen CNN conference. It was just Wolf Blitzer\u2019s afternoon show at some convention setting in New York City, and here\u2019s Jeff Flake weighing in on this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

FLAKE: To me now, it\u2019s just gone so far beyond. You\u2019re not expecting the president to pivot anymore. But what is troubling is to look behind him and see the reaction of people to what he says. And that\u2019s what\u2019s more troubling to me now is — is who believes this. And he does it, I think, because it still works. It still riles people up. It divides up horribly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, oh it\u2019s just… It\u2019s very, very dangerous. It\u2019s very bad out there. Trump\u2019s spreading lies, stoking fear ahead of the election. There\u2019s Jeff Flake — who himself has been rejected by people like you in Arizona, voters in Arizona. He couldn\u2019t get reelected. So he now says, “What\u2019s really troubling is to look behind Trump and see the reaction of people to what he says, and that\u2019s what\u2019s more troubling me now: Who believes this.<\/p>\n

“He does it, I think, because it still works.” See, Trump, he\u2019s pretty smart. Trump knows that you\u2019re idiots and Trump knows that you\u2019re fools and Trump knows that you\u2019ll fall for anything. And so Trump is working his Svengali like magic on you, and people like Jeff Flake and the Washington establishment Never Trumpers, they resent the hell out of Trump \u2019cause Trump knows what he\u2019s doing. So I guess Trump\u2019s not so stupid now. You are.<\/p>\n

Which takes me to a piece that I had ready to go yesterday but didn\u2019t get to it. David Gelernter. He\u2019s a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant professor at Yale. His specialty is computer science. But we have cited his work countless times on this program over the past 20 years. We\u2019ve even interviewed him for The Limbaugh Letter<\/a> way back then.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a computer science professor at Yale, chief scientist at Detach LLC. His most recent book: The Tides of Mind.<\/a> His piece yesterday was, “The Real Reason They Hate Trump<\/a>,” and let me give you some pull quotes from this piece. “Every big U.S. election is interesting, but the coming midterms are fascinating for a reason most commentators forget to mention: The Democrats have no issues. The economy is booming and America\u2019s international position is strong.<\/p>\n

“In foreign affairs, the U.S. has remembered in the nick of time what Machiavelli advised princes five centuries ago: Don\u2019t seek to be loved, seek to be feared. The contrast with the Obama years must be painful for any honest leftist. For future generations, the Kavanaugh fight will stand as a marker of the Democratic Party\u2019s intellectual bankruptcy, the flashing red light on the dashboard that says ‘Empty.\u2019<\/p>\n

“The left is beaten,” and this is so right on the money. They now have to resort to these charades and really devastating tricks like this caravan. The whole Kavanaugh episode of the intellectually bankrupt, it was morally bankrupt, it was politically bankrupt, and yet they persisted with it — even to the point of caring not that they were destroying an American life, an American family, an American career, and an American future.<\/p>\n

\"\"They couldn\u2019t have cared less.<\/p>\n

This is the bankruptcy of decency and the Democrat Party has none left. Now, as Mr. Gelernter says, “This has happened before, in the 1980s and \u201990s and early 2000s, but then the financial crisis arrived to save liberalism from certain destruction. Today leftists pray that Robert Mueller will put on his Superman outfit and save them again. For now, though, the left\u2019s only issue is ‘We hate Trump.\u2019<\/p>\n

“This is an instructive hatred, because what the left hates about Donald Trump is precisely what it hates about America. The implications are important, and painful.” (repeating) “This is an instructive hatred, because what the left hates about Donald Trump is precisely what it hates about America,” and hate America it does, folks. “Not that every leftist hates America. But the leftists I know,” writes Gelernter at Yale, “do hate Mr. Trump…”<\/p>\n

They hate his “vulgarity.” They hate “his unwillingness to walk away from a fight.” They hate “his bluntness.” They hate “his certainty that America is exceptional.” They hate “his mistrust of intellectuals.” They hate “his love of simple ideas that work.” They hate “his refusal to believe that men and women are interchangeable. Worst of all, he has no ideology except getting the job done. His goals are to do the task before him, not be pushed around, and otherwise to enjoy life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“In short, he is a typical American — except exaggerated, because he has no constraints to cramp his style except the ones he himself invents” and uses. I\u2019ll tell you, folks, this is a heck of a paragraph. It is instructive itself. They “hate Mr. Trump\u2019s vulgarity,” and yet, they are the kings of vulgarity! The Democrat Party and the American people left are synonymous with vulgarity today, but they sit there and hypocritically claim to despise Trump\u2019s.<\/p>\n

They hate that he won\u2019t walk away from a fight. They hate that he is blunt. They hate his certainty that America is decent and exception. They hate certainty. That\u2019s what I have found over the years that people that have had serious problems with me. I was able to boil it down. They hated the fact I was so certain, that I didn\u2019t have any doubts about what I believe.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had so many people say, “It\u2019s not right! Everybody has doubts! You — you — you just sound way too sure. Nobody can be that confident.” “Oh, but I am. I know you\u2019re full of it, I know you\u2019re wrong, and I know you haven\u2019t even thought halfway about this or you\u2019d be doing the right thing.” They can\u2019t stand that. They love equivocation. They love people who see the both sides of things. They see reaching out with the heart.<\/p>\n

They hate certainty, except when it conflicts with their own. Now back to Trump. He “lacks constraints” that the left hates him for “because he is filthy rich and always has been and, unlike other rich men, he revels in wealth and feels no need to apologize — ever. He never learned to keep his real opinions to himself because he never had to. He never learned to be embarrassed that he is male, with ordinary male proclivities.”<\/p>\n

The guy wants women; doesn\u2019t see the need to apologize for it.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes he has treated women disgracefully, for which Americans, left and right, are ashamed of him — as they are of JFK and Bill Clinton. But,” Gelernter says, “my job as a voter is to choose the candidate who will do best for America. I am sorry about the coarseness of the unconstrained average American that Mr. Trump conveys. That coarseness is unpresidential and makes us look bad to other nations.<\/p>\n

“On the other hand, many of his opponents worry too much about what other people think. I would love the esteem of France, Germany and Japan. But I don\u2019t find myself losing sleep over it. The difference between citizens who hate Mr. Trump and those who can live with him — whether they love or merely tolerate him — comes down to their views of the typical American: the farmer, factory hand, auto mechanic, machinist, teamster, shop owner, clerk, software engineer, infantryman, truck driver, housewife.<\/p>\n

“The leftist intellectuals I know say they dislike such people insofar as they tend to be conservative Republicans.” That\u2019s true, and that\u2019s a large group of people to hate. That\u2019s a large group of people to dislike. But, by the way, this Sinema babe, this candidate running for the Senate in Arizona against Martha McSally? She is running around…<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve dredged up sound of her back some years ago claiming that housewives are just leeches, that women who are housewives and stay home and raise their kids are just leeching off their husbands. This is the kind of thing Gelernter is talking about here, that the left Americans who find a way to be happy in life, even if it violates what the left thinks people should be doing. “Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama know their real sins.<\/p>\n

“They know how appalling such people are, with their stupid guns and loathsome churches. They have no money or permanent grievances to make them interesting and no Twitter followers to speak of. They skip Davos every year and watch Fox News. Not even the very best [of these people] has the dazzling brilliance of a Chuck Schumer, not to mention a Michelle Obama. In truth they are dumb as sheep.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Trump reminds us who the average American really is. Not the average male American, or the average white American. We know for sure that, come 2020, intellectuals will be dumbfounded at the number of women and blacks who will vote for Mr. Trump. He might be realigning the political map: plain average Americans of every type vs. fancy ones.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

hHe goes on with more description to detail, that average people are exactly the problem. You. Jim Acosta nailed it. (paraphrased) “I hate seeing these people cheer! I hate it!” Jeff Flake (paraphrased): “The problem with Trump is the people that follow him, the people that believe him.” That would be you. This is what it really boils down to, folks. The Never Trumpers, the elitists in Washington, their real problem is you! And their real problem is elections that you get to participate in! That\u2019s the big threat, as far as they\u2019re concerned. Do not doubt me on this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mr. Gelernter with one final point here. He observes, “Many left-wing intellectuals are counting on technology to do away with the jobs” that I just went through “that sustain all those old-fashioned truck-driver-type people…” They are looking forward to you people being robot\u2019d out of jobs. “[B]ut,” he says, “they are laughably wide of the mark. It is impossible to transport food and clothing, or hug your wife or girl or child, or sit silently with your best friend, over the internet.”<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t do many of these jobs over the internet!<\/p>\n

“Perhaps that\u2019s obvious, but to be an intellectual means nothing is obvious. Mr. Trump is no genius, but if you have mastered the obvious and add common sense, you are nine-tenths of the way home. (Scholarship is fine, but the typical modern intellectual cheapens his learning with politics, and is proud to vary his teaching with broken-down left-wing junk.)” David Gelernter, computer science professor at Yale, basically saying the real problem…<\/p>\n

The real problem is all of you people voted for Trump, you continue to ignore your betters. You\u2019re ignoring the Democrats. You\u2019re ignoring the Never Trumpers. You\u2019re ignoring the media who trying to warn you, but you persist in going to Trump rallies. They can\u2019t stand it. It\u2019s why they make up these stories about gigantic blue waves sweeping you out of the way, sweeping your candidates out of the way! They can\u2019t wait for you to be gone!<\/p>\n

Except they\u2019re the ones that are losing elections! Donald Trump was elected president by a significant Electoral College margin! They can\u2019t win these elections that they\u2019ve been hoping and praying to win ever since all these special elections, now the midterms coming up. Look at how they\u2019re lying to themselves about the future. They\u2019re gonna win back control of the House, and what are they gonna do with it?<\/p>\n

They\u2019re gonna investigate Trump! Nancy Pelosi can\u2019t help herself. She\u2019s braggin\u2019 and talkin\u2019 about the subpoena power. Is that really what the American people want? They want Donald Trump and the people that work for him brought up under investigation for two years? Instead of real life on the ground improving the way it is? Is this what the Democrats and media really think?<\/p>\n

Is this what their left-wing candidates really believe, that the American people are so filled with rage at Donald Trump and his administration? They want all of them investigated, they want all of them put in jail, they want the truth to come out that Trump cheated against Hillary with Russia? They\u2019re sill obsessed with this stuff. They\u2019re obsessed with the fact that this election was theirs, stolen from them — and now it\u2019s time to make it all right.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re convinced that you want Trump investigated too, and they\u2019re just fit to be tied they haven\u2019t persuaded you to join them. So now you\u2019re part of the problem, and so the American left and the media are actually trying to create a nation that consists all of majority of angry, deranged, lunatics in order to get what they (the media and the Democrats) want. That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to create right in front of our eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
