I\u2019ll tell you why. Because there isn\u2019t anything new being said here, folks.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s going on, it started out with Republicans trying some rules-of-order motions and delay tactics because they\u2019d like to get to debate this thing &#8212; I mean, the final vote &#8212; after everybody\u2019s gone to bed tonight, which is a great political objective. Here you have this major, terribly important, earth-shattering, world-stopping moment &#8212; and it\u2019s so important, it\u2019s voted on at 2 a.m. That was one of the objectives. The second thing is that the Democrats are just repeating the gunk and the garbage of these two articles.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re throwing in all this stuff about, &#8220;This president put children in cages. This president is somebody who attacked a 16-year-old climate activist.&#8221; There\u2019s nothing new here, and none of it\u2019s impeachable. But the Republicans, the Republicans in their debate-response segments are nuking all of this. They\u2019re doing well. Doug Collins is running it along with Mr. Cole, and they\u2019re nuking this on the substance. They keep pointing out, &#8220;The aid was not withheld. The Ukrainians didn\u2019t know the aide had been withheld.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-331922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-4-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president was talking about &#8216;us,\u2019 not him, when asking for a favor. There\u2019s nothing here, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Speaker.&#8221; They are just nuking it all. Anybody who\u2019s watching this who has any semblance of an open mind&#8230; I\u2019m telling you, Democrats are so overplaying this. I don\u2019t doubt it\u2019s working with their base. But it\u2019s so obvious. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/12\/18\/the-drive-bys-know-theyve-failed\/\">Chuck Todd and Toobin, these guys all know that this is not the grave, consequential, stop-dead-in-your-tracks-and-watch-it moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just seen as yet another in a never-ending series of purely partisan political attacks that, frankly, is one of the reasons why so many people are fed up with politics in general and following it. So you\u2019ve heard it all before. There isn\u2019t anything new here since the hearings began three weeks ago. There\u2019s literally nothing new here. In fact, this isn\u2019t even the story anymore. That\u2019s right. This isn\u2019t even the story.<\/p>\n<p>This is a foregone conclusion. We have known since before Trump was inaugurated that this day was coming. I, among many others, predicted it accurately and told you. I played the audio of me predicting it two days after Trump was inaugurated. This is a foregone conclusion. They were gonna do this the minute they got control of the House, and no matter what they had to make up to make it happen, they were gonna do it. They were gonna use the votes to do this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-328381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-111319-Play-by-Play-RUSH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-111319-Play-by-Play-RUSH.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-111319-Play-by-Play-RUSH-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The story is now what happens in the Senate. The story is they have done this knowing they cannot get a conviction in the Senate. Now, they have done a good job of peppering the news every day with the possibility that all these RINOs in the Senate can\u2019t wait to vote against Trump. Don\u2019t buy it. That\u2019s nothing but a bunch of fake leaks. In other words, folks, if I were you, I wouldn\u2019t believe a damn thing that you see on CNN or read in the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>Using experience guided by intelligence, after what they pulled off during the Russian meddling hoax and coup, there\u2019s literally no reason to believe anything they say the first time you hear it or read it. So if you see stories about all these Republicans who can\u2019t wait to vote against Trump in the Senate, it\u2019s bogus. That\u2019s not the case. It\u2019s not even gonna get to that point. &#8220;Schumer\u2019s gonna force it. He\u2019s gonna get these witnesses called. Mulvaney is gonna appear!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No, he\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>This is why they\u2019re so dejected today in the Drive-By Media. Even Fox News is going wall-to-wall with this because it\u2019s historic, and they have no choice. But there isn\u2019t a damn thing new. Nobody, even the analysts&#8230; The analysts don\u2019t have anything new to say about it. Everybody\u2019s exhausted every opinion there can possibly be about this. &#8220;Well, what about different tactics?&#8221; Well, there might be some different tactics played. There\u2019s a long time to go before the vote.<\/p>\n<p>You never know what\u2019s gonna happen. But this is a foregone conclusion. What the Democrats in the House are doing is old news, and it hasn\u2019t even registered on the Richter scale. They thought they would time this to happen on the same day that Clinton was impeached. You know, but the big difference was back then that Clinton had actually done some stuff. He had lied under oath in a federal grand jury proceeding, and he had asked other people to lie, and he had left the semen deposit on the blue dress.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, the things that he was accused of, he did. But even at that, the same thing is happening today that happened then. During the impeachment process, Clinton\u2019s numbers kept going up. Now, his numbers got to the sixties. You remember how frustrated we all were over that? The American people don\u2019t like their votes being ignored, and they don\u2019t like presidents being thrown out of office in this manner. Do you realize it has never happened?<\/p>\n<p>A president of the United States has never, in the history of our great country &#8212; never &#8212; been removed from office by way of an impeachment proceeding and conviction in the Senate. It has never, ever happened. The Democrats are doing this as much as anything to get a black mark on a Republican president like the Republicans got on Clinton. They think it\u2019s payback time for that. But they\u2019ve also got the requisite Trump hatred, and they\u2019re totally out of control.<\/p>\n<p>I want to get some phone calls in here. I intended to in the first hour; I failed. So in deference to people not having to hold on for their whole lives here, let\u2019s start in Folsom, California. Doug, I\u2019m glad you waited. I appreciate it. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, Merry Christmas. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: So after these two articles fail in the Senate, what\u2019s the likelihood of Democrats just introducing new articles down the road, you know, just keep the narrative going all year (crosstalk).<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, they will continue to impeach. This is a&#8230; They pull the trigger on it\u2019s never ending. If Trump wins reelection they\u2019re gonna keep impeaching him. Keep doing the same thing. They\u2019re not gonna stop.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, there\u2019s no, like, double jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, there\u2019s no double jeopardy. No, no, no. Well, no, they can impeach. It all depends on who runs the House, Doug. If the Republicans win control of the House, then there won\u2019t be any impeachment unless they decide to get rid of Trump which won\u2019t happen. The Democrats have to maintain control of the House &#8212; and if they do, they can go back and redo these same articles again if they want or they can try new ones.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no double jeopardy when it comes to impeachment. It\u2019s a purely political process. This is the rub here. The Democrats have taken something that already is a political process &#8212; meaning that you can\u2019t do this without public opinion. That makes it a public and political process. They\u2019re doing this without public opinion supporting it. But they can because they can turn impeachment into anything they want.<\/p>\n<p>The great fear that a lot of people have is that impeachment has now become or will become a staple of every presidency. Once you cross the line &#8212; once you turn this sacred, rare proceeding that should never, ever be used except in the most dire circumstances&#8230; Once it becomes part of every political party\u2019s ammunition, then they\u2019ll use it. Like I tell you, I\u2019m gonna be getting together Republican leaders over the break; we\u2019re gonna be writing articles of impeachment for the next Democrat president.<\/p>\n<p>Even before we know who he is, and even before we know what he\u2019s done, because they\u2019ve just shown how to do it&#8221; Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Well, hell\u2019s bells! You can impeach Mickey Mouse for that. So why not do it? This is the great fear, that impeachment is gonna become as dull and boring as government shutdowns are, all thanks to the Democrats. Kind of like using the nuclear option on judges. All this stuff, it does come back to bite \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s John in Yorkville, Ohio. John, great to have you with us today. How are you, sir?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Good. Merry Christmas to you, and first time I finally get to get through on this phone call. I want to call about Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She\u2019s sitting on the House floor sitting there saying Trump is &#8212; nobody should be above the law like Trump\u2019s being, trying to act. This is the woman right here that was the head of the DNC that got caught making the DNC, giving it to Hillary, and then taking it from Bernie Sanders, giving the election to her during the primaries, okay?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This has always been &#8212; the word is overused. The word &#8220;irony&#8221; is always overused, and you know why it\u2019s overused? Because when you go to journalism school, it\u2019s in the first year, first semester journalism they teach you irony and to look for it and to highlight it. Well, in this case the great irony or the great contradiction or the unbelievable, here is Debbie &#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221; Schultz, I saw her, I happened to be watching. And she\u2019s going on and on about Trump fudged an election.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-331920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-3-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>These people are still acting, by the way, like Trump colluded with Russia. Half of these Democrats that get up and speak reference the fact that Russia and Trump meddled in the election. They\u2019re just ignoring what the Mueller report said, and then they\u2019re adding Ukraine to it and then saying Trump is meddling in 2020, this why we gotta stop him.<\/p>\n<p>But in truth Trump did not meddle, he did not collude with the Russians or anybody else. The Democrats did. Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia. See, I\u2019m repeating myself now. Hillary colluded with Russia via Steele via Fusion GPS to write the dossier. Debbie &#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221; Schultz rigged the Democrat primaries. She was head of the Democrat National Committee, and she made sure that no matter who won every Democrat primary, that Hillary Clinton was gonna get the superdelegates that would put her over the top.<\/p>\n<p>Crazy Bernie had no prayer in 2016 of winning the Democrat nomination. The thing is Crazy Bernie knew it, and he still went through with it for the sake of party unity. And the Democrat National Committee server that was hacked, well, it was hacked during the leadership of Debbie &#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221; Schultz. It was Debbie &#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221; Schultz that would not let the FBI examine it forensically. It was Debbie &#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221; Schultz that made sure that CrowdStrike got hold of it and was able to report.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, it\u2019s ironic for Debbie &#8220;Blabbermouth&#8221; Schultz to be talking about Trump rigging elections, meddling in elections and all that. But pretty much all of this, the Democrats are accusing Trump of doing things they\u2019ve done. It\u2019s called projection. There is a psychological term for it, but in point of fact, without any psycho-terms, they are doing and have done what they accuse Trump of doing.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Mario in Miami. Mario, great to have you with us, my man. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Fine. Thank you, sir. I\u2019m a Cuban-American Trump supporter, and my question to you is once the House comes back &#8212; we retake the House, can we expunge, can the House expunge the record of impeachment?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, they can\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They don\u2019t have &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If you could, Bill Clinton\u2019s impeachment would have been buried with Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. You\u2019re right.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-331926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Bill-CLinton-CSPAN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Bill-CLinton-CSPAN.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Bill-CLinton-CSPAN-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Nah. It\u2019s permanent record. In fact, that\u2019s one of the primary reasons they are doing it out there, Mario. You can\u2019t erase it. You can\u2019t expunge it. You just point out that failed to be removed from office because of no conviction in the Senate. But, no, it\u2019s part of the permanent record.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Part of the record, but in a symbolic way can the House take a vote against &#8212; I mean the new Republican-controlled Congress, can they vote to repudiate the impeachment?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No. They can\u2019t bring it back up and have a new vote and say, &#8220;When this happened, we thought it was bunk. And we\u2019re gonna vote it again and vote \u2013&#8221; no, it\u2019s permanent. It goes into the Congressional Record. Every two-year Congress is its own entity, and it\u2019s self-contained, it\u2019s bookended as a two-year period of history, and there\u2019s no expunging the record, there\u2019s no community service that can erase convictions or any of that. It is what it is. Look. I\u2019m glad you called. Mario, what is your country of origin?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m a Cuban-American.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019re Cuban, \u2019cause I want to ask you a question. I just saw a Democrat on TV who was proud, \u201cI did not have the blessing of being born in America. I came from Ecuador.\u201d And then she started talking about how she\u2019s seen dictatorship, she has seen the horrors of dictatorship, and she doesn\u2019t need to see it again with Donald Trump. So she\u2019s comparing the Trump presidency to dictators in Ecuador. Would you compare Trump to Castro?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) No. No, no, no. No way.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, that\u2019s exactly right. These people, they\u2019re so overreaching. They\u2019ve tried everything to get people to notice, and the American people are yawning. So they\u2019re going way overboard with their analogies and allegations. Thanks, Mario.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is audio sound bite number 26, Debbie Powell. She identified herself. She\u2019s Democrat from Florida, and she talks about coming here from Ecuador.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-331918\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-CNN-Grab-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-CNN-Grab-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-CNN-Grab-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>POWELL: Madam Speaker, I did not have the privilege of being born into this country. My mother brought me from Ecuador looking for freedom and opportunity. &#8230; We\u2019ve left and experienced corruption in our countries of birth, where brutal dictatorships have choked their potential to benefit those in power. This president &#8212; elected by the American people &#8212; has violated his oath of office and violated the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-269668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rush-Disbelief.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rush-Disbelief.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rush-Disbelief-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rush-Disbelief-298x300.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>RUSH: You notice this subtle comparison to these dictator thugs in Ecuador, with these brutal dictatorships? How in the world&#8230;? It\u2019s obscene, and it\u2019s absurd. Just take a look at the United States economy and the vast improvement just in the three years that Trump has been president. The stock market is up 10,000 points since Trump has been president, for example.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that there\u2019s a dictatorship is just absurd. This is my point. They are grasping at anything now because they can\u2019t get anybody\u2019s attention with (impression), &#8220;He abused his power. He made a phone call to the president of Ukraine, and he said some bad things on that phone call, and this is very, very dangerous for the country.&#8221; That\u2019s not getting anybody\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>(sputtering) &#8220;And he &#8212; he &#8212; he abused Congress! He &#8212; he &#8212; he abused Congress, he obstructed Congress!&#8221; What did he do? &#8220;He didn\u2019t let people come talk to us!&#8221; No, he went to court to try to stop you from being able to talk to them. He did not obstruct Congress in any way. So the things that they wanted to tar and feather and sully Trump with haven\u2019t worked. So now they\u2019re just reaching for anything. He\u2019s no different than a tinhorn dictator in Ecuador &#8212; or Hakeem Jeffries.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got that here somewhere. Let me find that sound bite. Hakeem&#8230; Number 25. Here we go in three, two, one.<\/p>\n<p>JEFFRIES: Slavery once divided the nation, but emancipators rose up to clarify that all men are created equally. Suffrage once divided the nation, but women rose up to clarify that all voices must be heard in our democracy. Jim Crow once divided the nation, but civil rights champions rose up to clarify that all are entitled to equal protection under the law. We will hold this president accountable for corrupting our democracy. We will impeach Donald John Trump.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-331919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-121819-Grab-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: That\u2019s right!

This is the guy who last week went on a diatribe about Trump putting kids in cages, and he ripped into Trump for &#8220;attacking&#8221; a young, 16-year-old climate change activist &#8212; and in so doing, he uncovered or revealed what it really is all about. They just can\u2019t stand Donald Trump, politically or personally.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s right. One of the biggest deregulators in American history is a dictator.
