Details.
Trump plans to spend more time with Obama learning the report.
Learning the ropes as a report, this from the Hill.com.
President elect Donald Trump will spend more time with Obama learning the ins and outs of the presidency.
This according to the Wall Street Journal.
You worried yet, Don?
The President elect's team reportedly.
Are you ready for this now?
Are you sure you want to hear this?
Trump's team was unaware that he needed to hire a full White House staff upon taking the Oval Off.
No way.
There is no way that that is true.
Are you telling me that Donald Trump thinks that there's a permanent staff in the White House that just works regardless who the president is?
Come on, folks, you can't believe.
Does anybody believe this?
This might be a good thing for me.
How many people think that there's a permanent like secretaries and legislative assistants and who knows what else?
There are 4,000 people that the new president hires.
For the cabinet level agencies for the West Wing, First Lady handles the East Wing.
There's 4,000 jobs that have to be filled.
They're appointed positions.
Some are career jobs that have been there since George H. W. Bush, for example.
And maybe even beyond that, maybe even Reagan, I it's possible.
But are you kidding me that Trump didn't know?
Nobody on Trump's staff knows.
This is just let me read this again.
I didn't want to make sure.
The president elect's team reportedly was unaware of the fact that he needed to hire a full White House staff upon folks.
Newt Gingrich, Kellyanne Conway.
uh Uh...
Take your pick of Jeff Sessions.
Chris Christie.
Are you this is just too much to believe.
Who's putting this crap out?
The Wall Street Journal?
Well, remember where they were during the campaign.
They wanted no part of Trump.
This is it's from a it's from a tweet from Michael Bender.
And I guess the tweet, I don't know if he's the guy tweeted it or if he's if Bender who's tweeting from the journal, but the tweet says Trump aides didn't know entire West Wing had to be hired.
Obama after meeting Trump plans to spend more time with him because Obama has apparently Obama is uh what's the word?
Obama is shocked at what Trump doesn't know.
And Obama, for the sake of the country, has to help Trump.
Trump doesn't know what he's doing.
And Obama's got to work with him.
After meeting with President elect Trump, President Obama reportedly realized he needs much more guidance and plans to spend more time with him than presidents typically spend with their successors.
Trump is the only American to win the presidency having never served in the military nor having held elected office.
So you see, he's an idiot.
So you see, he doesn't know what he's doing.
Uh sorry, folks, I just can't believe this.
I cannot believe maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here.
How many of you honestly in this audience think that there's a permanent bunch of people in the White House that are there no matter who the president.
Now, look, some of the ushers, the the um the household staff, they stay.
I mean everybody knows that, but that you can hire your own chef.
Uh but we're talking about actual West Wing political jobs, people that are there to serve the president, chief of staff's office.
You know, I've been in there.
It is a crowded place, and it's a lot of people.
I just government-wide, not just in the West Wing, but 4,000.
Who who knew that?
Is that your question?
Well, I don't think I don't think most people know it's 4,000, but most people know presidents get to put their people in there.
They meant that no, it's 4,000 people I get to put in there.
A president, look, a president get rid of anybody he wants.
He can fire all the U.S. attorneys, and usually does.
There are 99 of them.
And he'd better, he had better get rid of Obama's U.S. attorneys.
That's George W. Bush did not immediately.
And remember, they raked him over the coals for doing this, and every president does it.
But the idea that Trump doesn't know that he I'm sorry, I'm just I'm incredulous, that's why I keep repeating this.
I can't.
This is so stupid that I can't believe anybody would purposely put this out thinking they could make people believe it.
But it is the media, and we know how stupid they think people are.
Holy smokes.
Uh you know, I I uh I have some limited experience.
I've I've been in the Oval Office, I have been in the chief of staff's office in the West Wing.
I've been in that whole complex.
And it's it's uh let me move on because I could sit here and speculate openly about this all day long, trying to pin this down as to uh as to where it came from.
I want to go back to the audio sound bites here.
Bill Maher, this was Friday night on real time.
You know, David X, oh, I should Obama is got a press conference or something at 315 today.
After the program.
I think it's a presser.
I got a note on it some time ago to forget what it's a press conference or just he's gonna make some remarks.
Don't know what it is, but I think the timing 315 is awfully curious.
Uh, we will find out.
We uh given my uh theory and philosophy that I announced right in the last 15 minutes of the previous hour.
This is gonna be fascinating to see now.
Can you just see Obama going out there after having met with the President Trump?
It's clear that um we have to help him quite a bit.
Good guy, doesn't know what he's doing, though, and we have scheduled many more meetings.
He really didn't know that uh he's gonna tariff his own people here.
He can't possibly be gonna say that.
But he might try to convey it.
We'll see.
Don't sweat it, folks.
Whatever happens, we'll be here tomorrow to put in proper context for you.
Now, as we established last week, the Democrats are still seething over my saying back on January 16th of 2009, four days before Obama was immaculated.
Wall Street Journal called, said, Look, we're putting an op-ed together here of a bunch of people, 400 words on what you hope for Obama's presidency.
And I said, I don't need 400 words.
I can I can do it in four.
They said, What's that?
I said, I hope he fails.
Well, they said, well, that we're not gonna publish that.
I said, okay, so I told the story on the air, and everybody knew what I meant, and yet they took it and ran with it that I I personally wanted Obama personally to I wanted Obama's presidency to fail.
I wanted the country to fail is what they said.
And they knew that wasn't the case.
They knew it, but they were salivating they thought.
Man, can we use this?
Can we use this to expose this Republicans?
They hate Obama.
We're going to wrap everything we want to do.
We wrap racism.
We can wrap conservatism.
We can wrap bigotry into all of this.
And they ran with it.
And they all knew what I meant.
So here we are, leading up to the election last week in David Axelrod, Obama's campaign manager from 08, is out there talking, well, we all remember what Rush Limbaugh said.
And he was corrected on CNN by our old buddy Jeff Lord again.
And he didn't accept it, but he knew.
Well, Axelrod was on Bill Maher's show Friday night, real time, and brought it up again.
And of all people, Bill Maher had to set him straight.
Rush Limbaugh, uh, after Obama got elected, I'm rooting for him to fail.
We heard all of this stuff.
Donald Trump, we all excoriated him when he said I may not accept the results of this election.
So how do we lecture him and then say, but wait a second, now you won, and we're not going to accept the results.
But you know, when that rooting to fail thing came up with Mitch McConnell when Obama took office and every liberal was upset about that, I was not.
I knew what he meant.
He meant I don't want his policies to succeed.
I heard Obama say we want Trump to succeed.
Well, if Trump succeeding means his policy succeeding, no, I don't want him to succeed.
I don't want him to repeal Obamacare.
I don't want him to get rid of the climate.
I guarantee you Obama doesn't want him to repeal Obama care either.
See, I have now, I have served to expose these people and all of their phoniness from the get-go.
Because really what I was saying, when all these people say they hope the new president succeeds, they don't mean it.
All of these Republicans back in 2000, oh, we hope the new president, we wish him.
No, they didn't, not really.
If they really cared about what Obama's policies were going to do to the country, they didn't want Obama to succeed.
And they shouldn't have.
They were the opposition party, they were there to oppose.
But Rush, but Rush, what about the election results?
Fine and dandy election results.
And they didn't have the votes to stop him anyway, but they owed it to their voters to try and stop him.
We disagree with Obama policies.
So now what's come of this?
Aksarod now realizes that they can't get away with saying this stuff.
He now realizes that when Democrats are out there saying they hope Trump succeeds, they don't mean it.
That's what Aksarrod admitted.
Because Marr said, come on, come on, everybody knows what he's talking about.
He's talking about his policies.
And then Maher said, look, if we're if you're gonna go out there and say that you hope Donald Trump succeeds, you don't want him to do away with climate change.
You don't want him to do So we've exposed them.
It's taken eight years, folks.
But we have exposed yet another element of the fraud and the phoniness of these people.
They get away with saying they want the Republicans to do when they don't, and everybody just falls right in the lines, well, what a bunch of good guys, but they don't mean it either.
So but of uh of all places to have this finally put in the proper perspective, real time with Bill Maher.
This was Saturday, CNN's Smirconish.
Michael Smirkanish speaking with Sean Spicer, RNC communications director, who were talking about me.
Smirkanish said, Rush Limbaugh says, hey, we won.
We've got both houses, and you know, let's go full on now with our agenda.
There's no need to be looking leftward as we advance.
What do you say about that?
Mr. Trump wants everybody who understands that the American people spoke very loudly and very clearly on Tuesday, that they are ready for change, that they want an end to the status quo, that they're tired of the excuses and they want to see things getting done.
If you want to be part of that, then you're welcome to join, and we welcome you to that movement.
Sean Spicer, and he's echoing what Rentz Prebus said on this program Friday.
We had Rentch Pribus on here.
He said there's no excuses now.
He had owned up to it, he admitted it.
The Republicans have no excuses now for not advancing the Republican slash Trump agenda.
They've got everything that they asked for.
They've got the White House now, they've got a Senate majority, they got a House majority.
The only thing left is McConnell.
Well, we don't have 60 votes.
But both Spicer and Prebus have now both said that's not an excuse.
We've got it, and we're going to move forward, and the agenda is going to happen.
And if you want to be part of it, join us.
Now, Smirkonish is like a lot of moderate Republicans, they believe that even in victory, you reach out to the left.
And you tell the American people, you're reaching out to the left.
You're extending an olive branch to the opponents, and you give them a little say-so in your upcoming agenda, because we all want to cross the aisle, and we all want to work together, and we all want to get along with each other.
And this is what we are always faced with.
When we lose, by the way, these same people tell us you lost.
You need to hunker down and understand the people of this country voted for the Democrats, and that's what we have to own up to and admit.
When we lose, they tell us we got to go all in with the Democrats.
When we win, they tell us, you gotta include the Democrats.
I mean, it's humiliating to lose, and they represent a lot of the country.
We've got to extend the olive branch.
Their ideas have been totally reputed.
Folks, I don't know how tired of me saying this yet you are, but prepare to be even more tired because I'm not letting this one go, because it's fundamentally crucial that people in this elections have consequences.
The Democrat Party, the avowed express specific policies of Barack Obama, were rejected resoundingly.
Make no mistake, it's not happenstance, it's not associative, it's real.
Obama campaigned for Hillary Clinton on the exact premise that she needed to be elected to continue his policies, and he named them.
Climate change, Paris Accords, Obamacare, Iran deal, whatever he thinks good he's done for the economy, all of that, and it was all rejected.
Frankly, I don't get tired of reminding people just how much the Democrats have lost, and just what a functioning minority they really are.
Because it's at such stark contrast to what they were trying to make us believe about ourselves.
And here at PJ Media.com, we have a piece by Rick Moran.
At every level of government, the Democrat Party is dead.
Pull quote, Democrats should no longer be considered a national party.
They are at best a coastal party with a few liberal enclaves, mostly college towns like Madison and Austin in between.
In the great middle of the country, they've disappeared, and boy, they have.
You look at this country county by county and how the vote went, and it's all red.
Except for New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, it is all red.
Then you throw little specks of blue like Madison and Austin, that's true, maybe Chicago in there.
At every level of government, the Democrat Party is dead.
The victory of Donald Trump for the presidency, the continued Republican control of the House and Senate is only part of the story of the Democrat Party's total demise.
The reason it is crucial to make this point and to continue making it is that there is no reason for Olive branches or compromise.
They don't.
They don't, and we shouldn't.
Their ideas are destructive.
Their ideas, they have insulted us, they have slandered us, they have impugned us.
There is no reason to be guilty in victory whatsoever here.
That's my whole point with all this.
Go ahead, folks, admit it.
You can admit it.
There's nothing wrong.
You are addicted to this program.
EIB, airborne phenomenon spread by casual contact.
When you get it, you're cured.
It's a day for rejoicing.
Here's Robert in Houston.
Robert, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Oh, Mr. Limbaugh, God bless you, sir.
I want to thank you for your service to your country.
And I know you've heard plenty of that for such a time as this, God's talent on loan to you has done a great American victory here.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Yes, sir.
I have been concerned already since day one that we have to get elected and then we have to get through the inaugural address.
And I completely agree with you.
Not only I would go so far as to say that that hour that uh Obama kept Donald Trump in the White House may even have been doing all this instructing and lecturing, trying to get him to make an outburst or respond in a way that would paint him as uncontrollable in order to fuel the fire of a bad transition.
Oh, I see what you're getting at.
You you you think Trump uh Obama might be baiting Trump trying to get him to say or do something that appears to be odd, um that would affect the transition and make it appear rocky.
To incite more rioting to bring up more dis uh Well let me ask you about what if this rioting goes on for four years, folks.
What if it goes on for four You don't care?
You okay uh let 'em burn their own city.
Okay, the writing goes on for four years.
Because I'm here to tell you that I if they're paying fifteen hundred dollars a week for it, it's gonna keep happening.
Your guiding light, times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, riots, protests, and even the good times of victory, you're guiding light.
Marissa in Long Beach, California.
I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you here with us.
Hi, it's a pleasure and honor talking to you, Mr. Rush.
Well, thank you.
It's my first time in so many years that I want to try to talk to you.
I so appreciate and like all first times, you will not forget this, I guarantee you.
Thank you.
As um since I find you in the stations, I'm I'm Mexicans and and I'm a citizen of the United States and I vote for Trump and I have a lot of friends that are of course I'm in California, they're Democrats, and and I o they always fight with me and I I'll tell them my beliefs and what I hear and the way I grew up and tell them that this is not their party.
Because I asked them questions and they answered all conservatives and they feel leaning to towards Democrats.
But when they have kids, they change their mind and start looking at it the other way, and I they talk to me and they they don't say anything to their friends or other friends because now they lean into conservative ways because now they want a better future for their children.
Good.
So your point is that you you you are Mexican, you're Hispanic, you voted for Trump, your citizen, and you you know a lot of others who did the same thing, but they don't talk about it openly because they don't want a lot of grief from friends, right?
Yes, and then and also I'm being attacks.
And also why?
Because I'm Republican and conservative, and I vote for Trump and I always talk about it since Obama, the first election, the second election, I'm being a Ras and Well let me ask you something.
Marissa, let me wha what do you think when you hear all these people in the news saying that Hispanics gonna vote in droves for Hillary.
There's no way Obama no way Trump can possibly do well with Hispanics.
There's no way they hate him.
It isn't gonna and what do you think when you hear that knowing the way you voted and the way you think?
Well, because they need to know the culture of the Mexican people because we all we all grew up um conservatives and we work hard for our for when we were growing up, even if our parents had the money and we have to work in the business and learn how to um work the business.
A lot of people that they come from um from uh little town and they don't have the opportunity and they don't know how to read sometimes and they want a better future because they lose their land and they come and they migrate uh emigrate to another country,
they don't know the lot, they don't know things, and they follow it the way they tell them, and they start um put in them and then inside the corral and tell them what you do.
Well, Marissa, I'm I'm glad you called.
I'm sure that there are tons of people like you out.
We know that there are.
We know that Trump got every bit the percentage of the Hispanic vote that Mitt Romney got.
And uh that that late breaking surge of Hispanics for for Hillary was a bunch of BS as uh as well.
Well, she sounds like she's got some newfound confidence out there.
She feels comfortable in telling people what she thinks now.
That's uh that's great.
Marissa, thank you so much.
I I appreciate the call.
Here we are getting down to the end of it, and I'm I'm looking at uh stuff that I haven't had a chance to get to.
I've covered most of it generically, they're individual details.
I'm looking here at at um oh, here's a story.
Record global cooling over the last eight months.
It that's another subject.
You know, it's a pet peeve of mine, this whole global warming thing and what it's done to these young kids.
I just I don't know why.
It just ticks me off.
I mean, people are throwing their lives away being scared into believing garbage.
They're literally throwing their lives away.
You know there's this you're gonna think I'm crazy, folks.
Well, you won't think that because none of you ever think I'm crazy.
But but have you seen the ads for this I don't know what it's a movie or a documentary about a trip to Mars that's on PBS.
You haven't seen the promos for this?
I saw it during the football games yesterday.
It's one of these productions by Neil de Grasse Tyson, who took over for Carl Sagan.
My tech buddies worship this guy.
They think he is because he believes in climate change and global warming and all this other stuff.
And he also is to some extent a believer that our only hope is to leave Earth and colonize an asteroid or the moon or Mars.
So there is either a and they've already had this movie called The Martian with with what's his what's it, Matt Damon, but this is something else.
I think it is a documentary, but I'm not sure.
But with Neil deGrasse Tyson, it's probably a documentary, science type documentary, and it's all about the first trip to Mars.
Now, I've got to be very careful because I'm all for space exploration.
I absolutely am devoted to it.
I think great things come from the research into space exploration, particularly manned space flight.
Um again, there is a subliminal attachment to this that includes the idea that we have got to find a way to get to Mars or we're gonna die,
because the planet is not habitable is what is the undergirding foundation of all of these Mars exploration things that we've got to find a way to get there or we're gonna die.
And so these young tech guys are all excited with people like Elon Musk or any of these other clowns that are talking about I mean, going to Mars, fine, folks, don't misunderstand.
But taking the Earth's population there to save it from from man-made global warming.
I mean, it just embarrasses me that it's so silly.
But these kind of shows promote, subtly promote this confused idea that we are destroying our habitat.
And by making life better, our life expectancy is expanding.
People are getting healthier.
And it's all related to fossil fuels.
We're destroying our environment.
When we're not, we're living longer, we're living healthier, we're living more prosperously.
I mean, that gets retarded when Democrats are in the White House, but for the most part, that's the trend line.
And yet all of that is distorted into our planet will not be habitable in like 30 years.
Yeah, it just I shouldn't let it bother me.
Because they're gonna grow up anyway, find out it isn't true at some point.
They're just gonna waste their lives in the process.
And who knows what's going to happen when they find out they're not gonna be on the trip to Mars.
I mean, someday they're gonna realize uh colonizing Mars not happening in their lifetime.
Do you know the truth?
The truth is that whoever goes to Mars first will die in the process.
Well, no, it it it's it's it the odds are they're gonna die simply because the length of time, the who knows about getting back, uh, who knows about really being able to sustain life on Mars once you get there for how long?
I mean, there's nothing there.
There's no ecosystem at all there.
I mean, how much can you take with you?
But it's pretty much certain that whoever first goes is it's it's uh in the name of science and exploration.
It's it's it's gonna be like getting on a ship back in 1400, going to the edge of the earth and falling off the side of it.
That isn't gonna happen, but you might, your ship might die, you might get scurvy, your ship might sink, whatever.
I mean, it the odds are that the first explorers aren't gonna make it, but they they're gonna know it going in.
It's it's silly.
Now stop and think about it.
The idea.
The idea that life could be better anywhere but Earth.
You want to you want to talk deranged, you want to talk diluted.
Now that's a hoax.
That life anywhere, an asteroid, Mars, the moon, it could be better than it is on Earth.
And yet, and yet look, I know there's oddballs and kooks that believe everything in a population our size.
They're trying to mainstream this in the extreme left side, and it's all about condemning capitalism and condemning the United States as a way of life.
Don't doubt me on this.
This is this is how you get to this point where young people are so deluded and confused that they can't handle losing it.
They get so frightened and scared by things.
It does matter.
We used to laugh at these things 25, 30 years ago.
Until we learned that people actually end up believing it.
It's just mind-boggling.
I'm gonna do my best to let it go, folks, because I know I've I've I've met your ear over this kind of stuff long enough, and there's plenty of other things out there.
Trump said on 60 minutes last night that he thinks that we need to go to the popular vote to determine the winner.
Get rid of the Electoral College, said it on 60 minutes last night.
Leslie Stalsa, you I mean, you you really just because I won doesn't mean I'm gonna change my mind about it.
I think we gotta go to popular vote.
