\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, Elizabeth Warren, ladies and gentlemen, on this trade deal. Elizabeth Warren is another one of these lib Democrats that, frankly, the reputation she has for intelligence is grossly overstated and undeserved, as it is for most of these people. Elizabeth Warren is the brilliant Harvard professor who told the rich, “You didn\u2019t build that.” Meaning, their business, the actual building, “You couldn\u2019t build that without us and our taxes, building roads and sewers. You wouldn\u2019t have had anything. You didn\u2019t build that.” And of course it\u2019s applauded. <\/p>\n

Well, now comes the Obama trade bill. Turns out Elizabeth Warren was paid up to $90,000 as a witness<\/a> in a 2000 trade case, and she got $90,000 from the kind of trade case that she now opposes. She has benefited from it in the past, but now she opposes it. The Massachusetts Senator, Elizabeth Warren, “is waging her fight against Obama\u00c2\u2019s free-trade deals by seizing on a legal procedure, commonly contained in such trade pacts.” It\u2019s just scrolled out of my view. <\/p>\n

Anyway, she was a witness against a Canadian funeral home operator “that was seeking $725 million from the US under the North American Free Trade Agreement,” NAFTA, which is exactly the thing that Warren is now objecting to, being able to do this kind of thing. And the money quote from the story is, “In fact, this was NAFTA\u2019s first major –” it just vanished. Anyway, she is just being totally hypocritical on this and — (interruption) No. I\u2019m sorry. It just scrolled out of view here. I have no control over the scrolling here. It\u2019s timed and it just scrolled out of view. I\u2019ll find this after the break. <\/p>\n

We got an audio sound bite here from her, which is from yesterday during a debate on the trade promotion authority. It has nothing to do with the hypocrisy and the trade deal that she was involved in that she now wants to prevent other people — She was called as a witness in a NAFTA trade dispute between the US and Canada over the funeral business, and she was paid $90,000 to be an expert witness. She now wants to outlaw this kind of thing being possible. Here\u2019s what she said, however, about the whole notion of this deal.<\/p>\n

WARREN: Believe it or not, it\u2019s a reason I\u2019ve heard people give multiple times. We should keep the deal secret because if the details were made public now, the public would oppose it. Well, that\u2019s how our Democracy is supposed to work. If the TPP is mostly done and the public wouldn\u2019t support it if they could see it, then it shouldn\u2019t become the law.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Okay. Now, we know that she\u2019s engaged in hypocrisy because she benefited from NAFTA in ways people would benefit from this trade deal, but she wants to deny them. But that\u2019s a secondary point. She\u2019s coming… Look, it was okay for Obamacare for nobody know, and it\u2019s fine for us not to know what\u2019s in the Iranian deal, right? But the left doesn\u2019t like Obama\u2019s idea of transparency when they\u2019re on the other side.<\/p>\n

So now Elizabeth Warren wants to know what\u2019s in this thing. She wants everybody to know, and they\u2019re saying, “Nope, nope. It\u2019s too incendiary.” And there\u2019s a reason why they don\u2019t want us to know. Nobody would support this, folks, which is makes it even the more curious why so many Republicans are trying to save this. But that should not be confusing, by the time you throw the Chamber in and the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the notion of free trade and removing barriers.<\/p>\n

If it does that, it will get the support of major Big Business interests. Just reduce tariffs and taxes, that alone is enough to support it. In terms of politics? Why the Republicans want to bail Obama out in a not-too-distant presidential campaign? I haven\u2019t the slightest idea. But they do. You know what I think it\u2019s rooted in, honestly? ‘Cause it makes no sense for Republicans to bail Obama out on this. It literally doesn\u2019t. Not this way. <\/p>\n

When you have Democrats running around complaining about secrecy and basically criticizing the exact way Obamacare came into being and criticizing the way the Iran deal is coming into being and the Republicans are the ones that bail it out, I can tell you what I think is the reason. I think it goes back to what we all know the Republican establishment believes that it must show if it\u2019s to win elections. “Bipartisanship and cooperation.” It\u2019s the old McCain argument. <\/p>\n

(impression) “The reason you should elect me is \u2019cause I can cross the aisle! I can work with the other side! I can help to get things done and shake their hands,” and they\u2019re obsessed with this. They think the American people want that. So I betcha the Republican establishment in part… It\u2019s not the total explanation, but they\u2019re looking at Obama\u2019s own party abandoning him, and they\u2019re thinking, “You know what? We\u2019ll help the guy, and the Democrats will see that we actually do want to work with \u2019em!<\/p>\n

“Democrat voters will see that we will work with the president, that we will work with Democrats, that we will be bipartisan.” I guarantee you this is part of it, and it\u2019s silly! Because that\u2019s not what Democrat voters are gonna think. If the Republicans think they\u2019re gonna get credit on Election Day from Democrats for helping Obama on this trade deal — and that\u2019s what they must think. It must be why they are eager to help with amnesty. They must think that Democrat voters on Election Day are gonna remember them. <\/p>\n

“You know, those Republicans, maybe what I\u2019ve always heard about \u2019em isn\u2019t true. Maybe they are willing to cross the aisle. Maybe they will work with us. Maybe they will be bipartisan! I think I\u2019ll vote for them today.” Right. It just doesn\u2019t work that way. But the Republican establishment, it appears, clearly thinks that they can convert Democrat votes to Republican votes by seemingly cooperating with Obama.<\/p>\n

And, even better, if it\u2019s on an issue where his own party is abandoning him.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure there are some Republicans who think that there\u2019s something decent in the bill that is worthy of passage. It\u2019s not gonna be just totally this excuse that they want to show bipartisanship and so forth. They want to show they can govern. But even if that… I\u2019m telling you, the idea that… It be like me, if I thought the way to build my audience was on an issue here and an issue there, agree with Obama, and promote Obama\u2019s cause.<\/p>\n

Whatever, pick any issue. No matter what it is. Just to convince the liberals that hate me that they\u2019re wrong and that they might like me the next day? I wouldn\u2019t even dream of it because the first thing that happened is you would fly the coop, and the next thing that would not happen, they would not turn around and start liking me all of a sudden. They wouldn\u2019t believe it. They would think I was pandering to them. It\u2019s just not the way that you go out building a coalition. It\u2019s not the way you build an audience. <\/p>\n

But clearly it\u2019s a factor here in the Republican support of this trade bill that apparently is so bad the Democrats want no part of it. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you think I\u2019m wrong about that? Listen to this. It was just last week that Mitch McConnell was bragging about how well he was cooperating with Obama. He called himself and Obama the odd couple. AP even wrote about it. “McConnell pointed out that Obama has agreed to sign a bill giving Congress review power on any nuclear deal with Iran, and this week the Senate will take up a trade bill that is a priority of the president.<\/p>\n

“‘A lot of folks like to joke about the odd couple that was Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch,\u2019 McConnell said… ‘But I think Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama may have them outdone. I had to warn reporters not to faint last week before offering the president some praise on trade. I\u2019m even getting handwritten notes from the president these days. He sent one the other day to thank me for supporting the nomination of Loretta Lynch.'”<\/line><\/p>\n

So, folks, it\u2019s clear as a bell what\u2019s happening here. The Republicans clearly believe this stuff about crossing the aisle, showing that they can make Washington work, that they can govern, that they can be bipartisan. So when the Democrats abandon Obama on a trade bill, here come the Republicans and the reason they\u2019re doing it is to try to convince Democrat voters that they\u2019re not what is said about \u2019em.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re not racists, we\u2019re not hayseeds, we\u2019re not mean-spirited, we\u2019re not extremists. See, we\u2019re working with Obama! We\u2019re saving Obama. We\u2019re helping Obama get his trade deal.” I don\u2019t know. I guess they think this gonna manifest itself on Election Day as Democrats go to the polls and as they\u2019re about to vote, they say to themselves, “You know what? I remember something! I remember the Republicans really helped Obama. The Republicans are really bipartisan. <\/p>\n

“You know what? They didn\u2019t come across as racist or extremists. They\u2019re very nice guys. They really helped Obama with his trade deal. I think I\u2019ll vote Republican! Yep! I\u2019m gonna vote for Jeb Bush. Yep! I\u2019m gonna vote for Marco Rubio. Yep! I\u2019m gonna vote for Ted Cruz \u2019cause I remember how the Republicans helped Obama with his trade deal. I can trust the Republicans will now be bipartisan and help to make Washington work.” That\u2019s… If you doubt that, don\u2019t. <\/line><\/p>\n

That is exactly the thinking that undergirds this whole notion of supporting amnesty. They want that on their own anyway \u2019cause the Chamber of Commerce does, their donors want that. But there is that component of showing they can govern, of showing they don\u2019t disagree with the Democrats on everything. The problem with it is… I mean, above and beyond the obvious problems of selling out. The problem with it is that you must, in your own mind, be occupying an inferior position. <\/p>\n

In other words, in order to think that you\u2019re gonna get Democrats investigating you on Election Day \u2019cause you help Obama on a trade deal, it must mean that you actually believe that the Democrats hate you for legitimate reasons and that you\u2019ve got to show them that they\u2019re wrong. So you\u2019re running around obviously feeling inferior. Whether it\u2019s justified or not, whether you blame the media for it or not, you still think you have to show people that you\u2019re not as mean and racist as the media has stated, and the way you do that is you help Obama pass these bills that not even his own party will help. <\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not gonna you one Democrat vote in November, not enough to matter. <\/p>\n

I just… It\u2019s high school, folks.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s one more Mitch McConnell quote, just to spell it out: “What we do have, however, is common policy ground, on an issue we both think is good for the country. So the Republican majority is going to work with President Obama to get this done, even if we have to do it over the objections of his own party. We\u2019ve both chosen to put policy before party. That\u2019s how politics should be conducted, in my view,” McConnell, in an AP story. Don\u2019t doubt me on this. <\/p>\n

Do not. Do not doubt my instincts, along with do not doubt my facts. I mean, that goes without saying. Don\u2019t doubt my instincts. When something appears irrational in politics, there\u2019s always a rational explanation for it. Why in the world, when Obama\u2019s trade deal is flittering away by the wayside because his own party doesn\u2019t want it — a trade deal that should not be authorized because nobody has seen it — do all of a sudden Republicans come along to bail it out and essentially make it possible?<\/p>\n

Simple. They really believe this stuff about having to show the Democrats and the media that they will work together with the president, that they do know how to govern, that they eagerly will work to make Washington work. Because they believe that\u2019s gonna get them Democrat voters. Or, alternatively, they believe that\u2019s gonna make the media stop being mean to them, \u2019cause the media will see that they\u2019re wrong. <\/p>\n

“Republicans are clearly able to help and work with Obama.” What really happens is, after the whole thing\u2019s done, the gang of 500 get together wherever they meet and they start laughing themselves silly over how easy it is to boondoggle the Republicans. “Do you realize how easy that was? (laughing) My gosh, did you see Mitch desperate to be loved by us? Oh, my God! (laughing).” <\/line><\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t any respect that accrues, sadly. There just isn\u2019t. That\u2019s not who the media is, and that\u2019s not who the Democrats are. The Democrats in the media are not there to be agreed with, to have common ground with, to cooperate with. They\u2019re there to be defeated, and if people don\u2019t understand that by now (sigh), then we still have a long way to go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
