<\/p>\nRUSH: Up next is Steve in Detroit. Great to have you, sir. Glad you waited. Appreciate your patience. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thanks so much, Rush. I\u2019ll get right to it. It\u2019s not a new opinion, I\u2019m sure, but from the get-go from day one whether it\u2019s collusion up today through immigration and all that, I think this is really nothing more than just part of the ongoing resist-and-distract opposition movement. In essence, I think it\u2019s basically nothing more than a four-year filibuster against Trump, just going and trying to just get to the next election and trying to win it at all costs through the syllabus of defamation, deceit, and distraction.<\/p>\n
You could verbatim just play the sound bites that we\u2019ve been hearing from 2009 up \u2019til \u201916 about what they\u2019ve all said about immigration and they\u2019ll just flat-out deny that, saying they never said it. And if you get the shills from the Drive-Bys, they will believe \u2019em. And I appreciate you letting me get that out and I\u2019d just like to ask anybody: Other than the verbiage that Trump uses and not liking his tone, how egregiously affected have their lives been because he threatens it? And, again, logic has no play in this. I realize that. But I appreciate the time. Thank you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019re more than welcome. Was there a question in there? I could not…? (interruption) How egregiously has their life been affected? Whose people? What…? (interruption) Oh. Oh. Oh. Well, you know, that\u2019s actual an interesting question. I guess his point is with all this filibustering, and obstruction and making sure that Trump accomplishes nothing, is anybody\u2019s life better? Are these people\u2019s lives better off?<\/p>\n
The reason that\u2019s an interesting question is because we have to then dig deep into analyzing how they define their lives being good or better or improving — and, folks, these people we\u2019re talking about liberals. We\u2019re talking about Democrat voters. The thing that I think you have to accept and understand is that the general concept of happiness and contentment is not something they attain on a daily basis. I don\u2019t think they are capable of it.<\/p>\n
They are permanently and constantly in a state of some degree of anger. It can approach rage — extreme, extreme anger and poisonous rage — and the way that stuff gets assuaged is when harm comes to other people or when other people don\u2019t get what they want. I think this is one of the many things that we\u2019re up against, while you and I live our lives as human beings are created and designed to do. We want to improve our standard of living, particularly for our families.<\/p>\n
We want to have as much security as we can have for ourselves and our children. So we\u2019re constantly reaching. We\u2019re trying to improve, trying to get better, we are trying to advance. Many of us are doing under the rubric of pursuing excellence, trying to be the best we can be. That doesn\u2019t describe them. Their happiness (to the extent that they ever experience it), their contentment is only when their enemies are suffering.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what makes them happy, that\u2019s what gives them satisfaction, is when they think we\u2019re losing and when they think we\u2019re in pain and when they think that we\u2019re angry. That\u2019s all it takes. They don\u2019t have to be personally benefiting from any of this, such as Trump\u2019s tax cuts. A lot of people, a lot of liberals have a lot more money to spend than they did. That does not make them happy. It makes them mad. It makes them mad that Trump won.<\/p>\n
It makes them mad that so many other people support the tax cuts. It makes them mad that people have more disposable income, because that becomes a threat. Any time their ideas fail or any time our ideas succeed, they are not happy. So I would suggest to you that these people that support the Democrats and Chuck and Nancy? I think they\u2019re ecstatic right now. In the midst of all their misery, they\u2019re ecstatic when they think Trump has been stopped or frustrated.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a weird bunch of people, folks.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: The media is in another state of rage, ladies and gentlemen. Apparently, Donald Trump Jr. said, “Hey, even zoos have walls.” So now, the Drive-By Media is in a state of apoplexy that the illegal immigrant community has been compared to animals in a zoo. This is… (laughing) I don\u2019t know. If you have the right frame of mind, these people are funny every day. At the same time, it\u2019s just…<\/p>\n
It\u2019s frustrating to be surrounded by this kind of idiocy. That\u2019s what bothers me. There is so much stupidity out there. I mean, now it\u2019s getting elected to office? People like Ocasio-Cortez, literal know-nothings who are heralded as upcoming stars. Thank God they\u2019re not on our side, though. That\u2019s one silver lining to this. Rose in Long Island in New York. Great to have you. Glad you waited. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi. Pleasure to speak with you. So I have interesting proposition. Since we all know that Justice Ginsburg… Her time is coming to an end. As far as retiring, I know she\u2019s holding out and hoping she can last until he\u2019s done. But then he may get reelected and he may get to put someone on the court again. So how about offering the Dems a justice for the wall?<\/p>\n
RUSH: No. These people are not… They wouldn\u2019t —<\/p>\n
CALLER: That would be their choice. “Go ahead. Have whoever you want on the court. Give me my wall.” The wall is permanent. Justices are not.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, the wall… (sigh) Look, a Democrat president can come around and start tearing down walls any time he wants to.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That would be so hard to do. Once it\u2019s up… Once it\u2019s up, it\u2019s done. How would they ever go about trying to tear down the wall?<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s not hard at all! You get some wrecking balls and you tear it down. Democrats own construction companies. They have no —<\/p>\n
CALLER: (crosstalk) — go on? There would be outrage of doing something like that, when —<\/p>\n
RUSH: They don\u2019t care about that!<\/p>\n
CALLER: (crosstalk) — want a justice? Here. Go ahead; take it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They don\u2019t care about… Well, A, I wouldn\u2019t… (sigh) They\u2019re not gonna make that deal. You gotta understand. Chuck and Nancy don\u2019t think — the Democrats do not think — that Trump has any leverage at all. They don\u2019t think that they are anything other than 1000% in the commander\u2019s chair on this. They are not of the mind to make any deal. They\u2019re not about solving any problems here. Now, I get your thinking.<\/p>\n
Everybody on the left is paranoid that Ruth “Buzzi” Ginsburg is not gonna be able to continue on the Supreme Court, and the Democrats are panicked over this because if for some reason she\u2019s unable to continue her work and there becomes a vacancy, Trump would then be able to nominate her replacement and it would be someone… We know who it\u2019s gonna be. It\u2019s gonna be Amy Coney Barrett.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/SupremeCourt650-020917_AA-Supreme-Court.jpg\")
We know who it\u2019s gonna be. The left is already ramping up for it. We know who it\u2019s gonna be. Dianne Feinstein and her crowd are getting ready to destroy her. DiFi already tried once when she was going through confirmation hearings for a lower court appointment. But there\u2019s no way that they would make any kind of a deal like that. Frankly, I wouldn\u2019t support one of that natured being offered. “Hey, we\u2019ll trade you a judge for the wall.”<\/p>\n
They might take it if they get to nominate a leftist judge, and then come tear the wall down the next time they win the White House — and don\u2019t think that they won\u2019t try to do that. If their whole position is that the wall that gets build is unconstitutional \u2019cause Trump does it by national emergency, what they can do is they can declare an end to the emergency and say that there is no more illegal immigration — there\u2019s no more need for the wall — and tear it down.<\/p>\n
You misunderstand something. I don\u2019t mean to sound condescending here. But today\u2019s Democrats do not care about public opinion. It doesn\u2019t matter to them. What anybody will think of what they did is not a determining factor in their establishment of policy. They\u2019re not doing what they\u2019re doing because they think that\u2019s what their voters want. (sigh) I mean, they… Well, they do. Their voters determine a lot of their behavior.<\/p>\n
I mean, they know their base is deranged, lunatic outraged and so they have to service that. But in terms of public opinion? You know, they\u2019ll give lip service to the notion of public opinion during elections. But even at that, even at that, it\u2019s of no concern to them. Public opinion, they\u2019ll make a big show of caring about it during elections. But outside of that, it doesn\u2019t matter to them what you think or I think. They\u2019re not in business here to stay elected on the strength of popular opinion.<\/p>\n
Power does not weaken itself by giving others a veto over it, and that\u2019s what voters are. Voters are a veto on power. The Democrats are not gonna purposely set themselves up where voters could vote them out. They know it\u2019s gonna happen anyway. People win elections and lose them. (sigh) My point here is rooted in your proposal: Give them a judge and they give us the wall. That\u2019s not a mind-set that they\u2019re…<\/p>\n
You know, satisfying somebody so everybody ends up happy in a deal?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not at all what their mindset is here.<\/p>\n
Trump gets nothing. Trump\u2019s voters get nothing. The only thing Trump gets and the only thing Trump voters get are defeat and disappointment and maybe Trump being impeached. That\u2019s all that matters. There is no concern for what the American people want or care about in any of this that Chuck and Nancy are doing. In anything being factored in the House of Representatives when it comes to legislation, the opinion of the American people is of no concern.<\/p>\n
What their ideological demands and concerns — everything they do is going to be designed to creating dependency, creating as many people as possible that do not have to have jobs, that do not have to work, that do not have to be anything other than dependent on government. That\u2019s the purpose of all Democrat liberal policy; to grow the government, to create more and more dependents. That\u2019s why they want this never-ending flow of uneducated, unemployable people crossing into the border, can\u2019t even speak the language. The Democrats are never gonna have to worry about these people figuring them out. That\u2019s what they want.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now, to the extent that it looks compassionate, \u201cOh, they care about the homeless and they care about the hungry and they care that everybody has health care.\u201d They don\u2019t care a whit about that. That\u2019s just what they say. They don\u2019t care. If they really cared about what\u2019s best for people, they wouldn\u2019t be liberals! Liberalism is not about what\u2019s best for people.<\/p>\n
Liberalism is purely and simply about the acquisition and holding of power and creating as much idiocy in the electorate as possible, dumbing down education to the point that people are not able to provide for themselves and increase or enhance their standard of living, that they depend on government for all of that. That\u2019s what all of their policies, every damn one of them, is aimed at, under the guise of compassion.<\/p>\n
What they want is everybody to end up thinking of themselves as a victim of some unfair aspect of this country, some unjust or immoral aspect of this country, and they want as many people as possible thinking that the only way they can even have a shot at fairness and happiness is voting Democrat and letting the government get even with all of these enemies. It\u2019s not about improving people\u2019s lives. Liberalism can\u2019t and doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Liberalism denies dignity, it denies humanity, it denies opportunity. It snuffs all of that out on the premise that nobody\u2019s capable of it anyway. Liberalism requires that liberal leaders have contempt for average people as being incompetent. They don\u2019t know how to spend their money the right way so therefore they shouldn\u2019t have much. They won\u2019t spend it the way liberals want them to. They won\u2019t live the way liberals want unless they have no choice.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t hate guns so much that they\u2019re gonna ever get rid of their own. They\u2019ll just make sure you don\u2019t have yours. And they really, really think and claim to believe in climate change, but they\u2019re just gonna stop flying private. And they\u2019re never gonna stop driving their gigantic cars and SUVs. You will.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll give up your gun, you\u2019ll have to live the right way to protect the planet. They won\u2019t. It\u2019s a gigantic scam. And that they get away it under the premise that it\u2019s all based on compassion and understanding and tolerance is one of the biggest jokes ever on a civilized group of people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
