Time Text
No, I got a I got a note from somebody who asked me how did I convince Apple to give me all these phones?
And Apple did, folks, these are from me.
These are personal for me.
It's all about sharing passions.
It's Christmas time.
It's fun.
Spreading the goodwill.
Anyway, greetings and welcome back.
It's great to have you at 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
And the email address L Rushbo at US.com L Rush Moe at EIB net.us.
That's what it is.
L Rushbo at EIB net.us.
Just a little bit of explanation on this whole story.
I deeply resent having to do this.
I because it means I have to fall for the for the for the for the for the trap.
This whole fake news story and this whole thing of the Russians hacking the poor Democrats, it's all fake, folks.
Every bit of it is fake.
And people are now lining up behind a fake story and calling for investigations into Russia and the election.
It's all fake.
And it's typical.
It's classic.
And that's why I resent having to fall for it.
This has been, in large measure, what it has been like to be a conservative for my adult life.
Every day you get up and the left is on the march, destroying things you believe in, attacking things you leave believe in, destroying people, attacking people you believe in.
And you have to take time to defend those things, particularly if they're institutions like marriage or other cultural rot that the left is actually responsible for.
If you want to stand up and defend it, you have to do it.
And they're attacking every day.
And then they try to destroy people that you love, people that you like, and you have to defend that.
And that's what this is.
It's just an this except now the target is Trump and everybody that voted for Trump.
And the objective is to delegitimize this election and delegitimize the results so that Trump's presidency is not legitimate, so that they can stop Trump from uh implementing his agenda.
That's the objective here.
The real objective is to get Trump thrown out of office.
The real objective is setting up impeachment.
Make no mistake about this, folks.
Make no mistake about this whatsoever.
All of this, they they they're holding out maybe a grain of hope.
They could actually pull something out of their hat with this electoral college vote on the 19th, one week from today.
I mean, running op-eds by electors, Republican electors who just can't bring themselves to vote for Trump because he's such a mean person.
Oh my God, I don't know why I got even violate the law.
And then pressuring other electors and threatening them to do the same thing.
Would love if they could get it.
Trump not get his 306 that he's got, maybe not even get 270.
They can't get Hillary to 270, although they wouldn't.
I don't think they're uh would stop it trying.
But what they really are hoping is that Trump doesn't get to 270, which means the election goes to the House.
And the Republicans in the House would elect Trump and it would be over.
But that wouldn't be the story.
The story would be Trump lost the popular vote, Trump lost the electoral college, somehow ended up president.
Why we've just been screwed.
And that's that's the narrative for four years.
Or however long it takes them to impeach Trump.
Make no mistake about any of this.
They know they lost the election.
They know they're not going to win any elections anytime soon.
They've just been shellacked at the state and local level.
They don't have a presidential bench.
Joe Biden.
I mean, they really have uh the the idea of winning elections and is is something that uh they're gonna lose the Supreme Court, and that was crucial to them to continue the cultural rot that they had uh been engaged in and sponsoring.
So this is all they know.
This has been the modus operandi of the Democrat Party.
It's it's not advance the nation and build people and grow the economy and grow anything.
It it's not there's nothing positive in it.
There's nothing uplifting about it.
Everything with them is dire consequences, doom and gloom.
Everybody's a victim of something.
Everybody's getting screwed by something.
Everybody's getting screwed by somebody.
Everybody's getting savage.
Nobody's getting a fair treatment.
Nobody's getting a fair shake except the rich and the enemies of the Democrats.
And the strategy that they use is to destroy their opponents, not build up themselves.
And they're going to continue doing this because it's all they know.
They're even fundraising to set up new organizations to keep this strategy and these tactics underway.
As I say, the one big difference here is that this is not your usual Republican that they're trying to take out.
This is Donald Trump.
And Trump has to be learning more and more every day who his liberal New York friends really are now, and who other liberal people are.
He's getting a first hand seat, front row seat, at who these people really are and who they have always been.
I have no doubt in my mind what their objective is.
And this fake news story about Russia hacking, the way it started, the way it got picked up, the way it's been amplified now.
I just resent having to come in here and defend it.
So I've decided to go about it a different way.
Instead of defend it, I'm attacking them and their motives and their facts and their agenda.
Because I figured we don't need defending.
No, we didn't do anything here except win an election.
And that doesn't need to be defended.
It doesn't need to be explained.
It needs to be acted upon.
It needs to be realized.
It needs to be confirmed, affirmed, and built upon.
In the old days, the Republicans, after they won elections and the Democrats acted this way, the Republicans would cave and extend the hand of friendship, like giving them an extra vote in the Senate so things would be fair and equal or any number of other similar type things to try to prove that they were cooperative and could work together and make Washington work.
And it just led to disaster.
That hopefully will not be situation here.
This program was the first to actually make big news out of this.
When the Soviet Union imploded, when the Berlin Wall came down, and Soviet communism came to a screeching halt.
Communism did not.
Soviet communism did.
Communism just kept right on going.
They found a new home in the environmental movement, and they've been off to the races.
We have been laboring, many people laboring under a misconception that with the fall of Soviet communism, we also saw the defeat of communism in general.
And we didn't, and we haven't.
The Soviet Union as a nation ceased to exist, but now Putin is back and he's KGB.
And he uh he's doing what he can to put it back together in a different.
He doesn't ever want it called communist, but he does want an all-powerful mother Russia with a bunch of satellite states and uh and so forth.
Back in the 1980s, when Ronald Reagan was president, the Soviet Union was loved and adored by the Democrat Party, and I am not exaggerating.
That is not an exaggeration, and I'm not trying to be insulting.
I'm just telling you factually.
They did not trust Reagan.
The Democrats in this country thought Reagan was the great threat, just like they now think Trump is, and like they thought Bush was.
Reagan was a dangerous stupid idiot who Was living in oblivion, taking naps all day long, making jokes about bombing Russia and so forth, bombing the Soviets.
And this and the Democrats really believed that the world was threatened by Reagan being the president, and so they sought counsel with Soviet leaders.
We found out about this.
After the Soviet Union imploded, it resulted in a lot of things.
And one of the things that happened is a bunch of KGV, KGB files ended up being released, opened up, and it was a treasure trove of discovery.
Boris Yeltsin in 1991 saw to it that everything the KGB had been doing was revealed, because back in those days, the new leaders of Russia didn't want to have anything to do with the old Soviet communist regime, and they didn't want anybody thinking that there was any remaining linkage.
So a program of transparency erupted, and Boris Yeltsin just opened up everything.
And one of the interesting items found was a memorandum addressed to the then top man in the USSR, Yuri Andropov.
The memo was written by Viktor Chevikov, who was the top man at the KGB.
The subject of the memo, from the top man of the KGB to Yuri Andropov of the Soviet Union was Senator Edward Kennedy on 9 and 10 May of this year.
Senator Edward Kennedy's close friend and trusted confidant, John Tunney, was in Moscow.
Tunney was Kennedy's law school roommate and a former Democrat senator from California.
And Tunney was one of these guys that Chris Dodd that run around waitresses end up being in sandwiches between one of the two guys at restaurants in Washington, D.C. But Tunney and Kennedy were tight.
And Senator Kennedy asked Senator Tunney to convey a message to Yuri Andropov.
The message was simple.
Kennedy proposed that the United States would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with this out-of-control cowboy Ronald Reagan.
In return, Andropov would lend the Democrat Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election.
We brought this to your attention seven years ago.
I've mentioned it several times since then, but it's worth reminding all of you, since it's being totally ignored by the drive-by media, and it always has been ignored.
The drive-bys have never told this story.
It was August 27, 2009, where I first discussed this when I first learned of it.
Essentially, Kennedy, through Tunney and other intermediaries, was sending memos and communiques to the president of the Soviet Union, the chairman of Communist Party, Yuri Andropov at the time, asking him to be patient and don't overreact to Reagan that Reagan doesn't know what he's doing.
He's a cowboy work with us, Kennedy said.
And we'll be with your help, we can get rid of Reagan in 1984.
Ted Kennedy actually sought the assistance of the Soviet Union in 1984 in defeating Ronald Reagan in the election.
In other words, what I'm telling you is, and it's in the KGB files.
I'm not, I'm not even expanding what this is.
Ted Kennedy was asking for Yuri Andropov's assistance in the form of interference in the presidential election of 1984.
The memo said the only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet American relations.
These issues, according to Senator Kennedy, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.
Kennedy made Yuri Andropov a couple of specific orders.
Offers.
He first offered to visit Moscow.
Main purpose of that meeting, according to Tunney, would be to arm Soviet officials with explanations regarding problems of nuclear disarmament so that they would be better prepared and more convincing during appearances in the U.S. In other words, Kennedy was offering the Russians the Soviets assistance in resisting Reagan's proposals on nuclear disarmament.
Ted Kennedy and the Democrat Party, let me just cut to the chase, were undermining a sitting United States president and planning on the Soviet Union assisting in the election of 1984.
The way that was going to happen, they wanted the Soviets to be totally uncooperative.
They wanted the Soviets to talk about Reagan and to react to Reagan as though he was a dangerous threat to mankind.
To portray Reagan's proposals as inhumane and uncivil and just unacceptable and indecipherable.
That was the plan, the assistance of the Soviet Union in the 1984 election, as devised by Ted Kennedy.
Because remember now, the Democrats were singing the praises of the Soviet Union in all ways.
As a superpower, as a counterbalance to the United States status as a superpower.
Back in 1984, the Soviet Union was establishing beachheads in places like Nicaragua with the full aid and support of Democrats in the House and Senate.
Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua would come to New York and be taken on shopping sprees by Peter Paul and Mary, and that would end up being in the news, and that was to portray him as a wonderful guy.
Why look, he lunched Peter Paul and Mary and Peter Paul and Mary, the puffed imagination.
They like Ortega.
The whole thing was designed to undermine Reagan as some madman and to convince the American people the only way that the Soviets could be trusted not to launch a weapon against us was to get Reagan out of office.
And here that same party is today, with a cock and bull story about some sort of computer hacking that the Russians are engaging in to undermine the worst candidate the Democrat Party has ever put forward in my lifetime, and that would be Hillary Rodham Rodham.
No worse candidate could they find a two-time loser who has just rendered a three-time loser in these recounts.
A woman who is so colorless, if it weren't for her varicose veins, nobody would notice her.
Well, you don't see those either because of the pantsuits.
A horrible candidate who called half the country deplorables, a woman who had no agenda.
She's running against Donald Trump and thinking nobody's gonna vote for Trump.
Trump's a madman.
She didn't even campaign.
She didn't even go to Wisconsin and Michigan, some of these states.
So in the bag did they think she wouldn't even go on campaign rallies because she couldn't draw flies to them.
Her only agenda was trust me.
I know Washington.
I love the children.
What have you done for children?
I've been working with the children's defense fund for 30 years.
What have you done for children?
Where's the endless parade of adults who survived childhood because of you?
Where is this illness parade of people who give you credit for whatever it is they've become?
Zero Zilch Nada.
Hillary Clinton has been an entitled queen in her mind.
Ever since she arrived in Washington, and maybe even prior to that, the most cheated on woman in America.
She had no business winning this election.
Everything that was supposed to happen did.
She was not a good candidate.
She was not attractive.
She was not appealing.
She was not engaging.
She didn't have any charisma.
She couldn't draw flies.
Everything worked out as it should have.
And they can't accept it.
I gotta take a break.
We'll be back with much more straight ahead.
Don't go away.
Okay, here's how ridiculous this is getting.
The Hill.com, ten electors have requested an intelligence briefing before Voting a week from today.
Ten electors in the Electoral College have asked for an intelligence briefing on this so-called hacking of the Russians.
Hacking by the Russians of power.
Now, anybody think that these 10 electors are sitting out there minding their own business and reading the news and saying, you know what?
I think we need a briefing ourselves.
What a crack.
These electors have been found by the Democrat Party and the media.
And this story has been created.
I don't deny the electors are asking for the intel.
It's who put them up to it.
Because they didn't arrive at this themselves.
That's the electors.
It's like if a jury wanting something read back before they render.
There's no question here what they have to do.
There's just it's all aimed at making as many people think they made a mistake voting for Trump, and therefore Trump's election victory is actually fraudulent.
And that would form the basis for Congress, the Republicans, and the Democrats opposing Trump on everything as the remedy for this travesty that took place during the what's the travesty?
That the Democrat Party was defeated.
That's the travesty.
That's just unacceptable.
That's not supposed to happen, and everybody's going to pay the price now.
That's their thinking.
That's what they want to happen.
A couple of actually three stories.
Four.
I have to mention these if I don't, I'm not going to get into them in detail like I want, but I'll save them for tomorrow.
Headline, bipartisan Senate group calls for probe of Russian hacking in U.S. Bipartisan.
That's three, you know, it's three people.
It's Chuck Schumer, Lindsay Gramnesty, and John.
It's actually four, Jack Reed and Rhode Island.
Four people.
And the headline, bipartisan Senate group calls for probe of Russian.
Four senators.
I'll tell you what I think is going on, folks.
In fact, I don't think it.
I know it.
I think that people who live and work in Washington are just numbed.
I think they are flabbergasted.
I think they are gobsmacked.
I don't think they've come to grips with what's happened here.
It is such a big deal that an outsider has come in and is going to run that show.
I cannot emphasize enough what an absolute shock this is to these people.
They are terrified.
Not just the fact that Trump's an outsider, but listening to him say what he says, looking at his cabinet and imagining what he's going to do.
They're thinking that he's going to dismantle everything that defines who they are.
He's going to dismantle everything that produces their standard of living.
They are shell-shocked, they are paranoid, and they are scared to death.
Members of both parties.
This is a closed club, this establishment.
This collection of elites.
Nobody gets in this club.
Nobody does anything like this ever, except that it's happened.
Trump's cabinet does not consist of people from this group.
Not yet, anyway.
And they're just, I think they're terrified.
And they are also would be happy to join this so-called investigation of Russian hacking.
They'd be they'd be thrilled if they could neuter Trump.
From the political Intel world struggles to crack the code of an untrusting Trump.
Sub-headline, how do you brief a president who refuses to believe what you tell him?
This is another story, specifically about the intelligence community that I think reflects the fear.
That, you know, can I translate this for you?
We are in Department A Department.
We're in the Intel community.
We're at the FDA.
We're at the EPA.
We have always gotten away with telling the president whatever.
But we may not be able to fool Trump.
We may not be able to get away with it.
Trump may look at us too carefully.
Trump may be paying too much attention to us.
How do you brief a president who refuses to believe what you tell him?
Subheadline to that is, oh my God, we're not going to continue to be able to fudge things.
I'm telling you, there is abject, I believe, I believe this is talk to nobody.
It's just my personal assessment of all this.
I think I'm looking at abject panic.
I know I am of the Democrat Party.
Abject panic.
Child like fright.
First time in the House of Mirrors at the horror show at the state fair.
All they see is themselves and they're scared to death.
And then there's Trump looking at them everywhere they turn in there.
And then there's this from Politico.
Democrats fear another Trump trouncing.
Leaderness and lacking in a strategy.
Top Democrat officials worry they're not ready for Trump's first 100 days.
This, by the way, as a little aside, this story is exactly why Trump's instinct to move very, very, very, very fast is right on the money.
The Democrats are in total disarray.
There's no one in charge except the New York Times and the Washington Post.
The New York Times, Washington Post are running a Democrat Party.
The New York Times, Washington Post are running the Democrat Party opposition.
The Democrat Party itself is itself gobsmacked.
Don't know what to do.
Trump has just got to keep up this pace.
They still don't know what's hit them.
They have no way to oppose him other than to try to convince people he's illegitimate.
That's the only thing they've got.
And that's what the media is trying to do.
New York Times, Washington Post, all the associated networks, politico, NBC doing their best to tell people Trump cheated, the Russians cheated, Trump's illegitimate, Hillary won the popular vote.
They have nothing to say for themselves.
They have no reason, they have nothing to say to the American people.
You should have us leading you because they've got no answer.
They have no way to finish that sentence.
Everything they've been doing the last eight years has brought about abject misery and failure.
The only thing they've got in their arsenal is to stop Trump's success by ch by by by labeling him as illegitimate.
And if he just keeps us this pace, he's going to run rings around him.
And I hope he does.
And I hope he continues to run rings around the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the next headline says it all.
Washington Post, this is all this is four days ago.
American dream collapsing for young adults, study says.
The American dream is collapsing for a lot of people.
Young adults, yeah.
The millennials, yeah, it's collapsing because they've they've been lied to, that there is no American dream.
They've been told it's over.
They've been told America's greatest days were back there.
They've been told get used to a country in decline.
Of course, they think the American dream's collapsing.
The Democrats are scared to death Trump's going to show how it hasn't.
The Democrats and New York Times and Washington Post are scared to death that Trump is going to illustrate that the Democrat Party is why this country's in decline, not America.
It's not America's fault.
It's not our founding's fault.
It's the Democrat Party that is the reason why this nation is stagnant and in decline.
And the Democrats are living in day-to-day paranoia that that is going to be exposed.
Don't doubt me.
Kathy and Gilbert, Arizona, great to have you with us.
How are you doing?
Hi, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
If the CA CIA found footprints of hacking the election, why did they not find hacking footprints on Hillary's emails?
Well, there's some confusion about that.
I've got a story in the stack that Comey says that they did find evidence that Hillary had been hacked.
Um I say that, and now I I I can't find it in my memory on this is confusing.
But but but the the the the point of your question is why would the Russians leave fingerprints if they hacked?
Expa Especially when it comes to the election.
Why would they do it?
If if if you can avoid leaving fingerprints, why this time?
We assume the Russians and the Chicoms are hacking everybody they're trying to all the time.
It's it's it's now part of cyber warfare.
It goes on nation to nation.
We hack them too.
But you don't leave fingerprints around.
That's right.
If Russian fingerprints were on these hacks of the DNC computers, then obviously somebody else put them there.
I like what John Bolton said.
I really like what Bolton said.
Bolton said, you know what?
This could have come from the Obama administration.
Making it trying to make it look like the Russians.
When you get into, well, why that opens a whole other can of worms and doors and so forth.
But I think this is fake news, Kathy.
I think we're all being sucked in.
Well, I'm not, obviously, but many people are being sucked in.
I hope not very many, actually.
I hope this ends up backfiring, but they're gonna give it their best shot.
They're not gonna let go of this story for I just no I just feel that this story is hard to believe.
Um it is it's got to be fake because it's it's just unbelievable.
It's too it's too the timing is too curious, and it's just too helpful for what we already know the media narrative is that Trump didn't win fairly.
And I think there's every reason for sensible people to doubt this.
Okay, your turn, iPhone seven or seven plus.
IPhone seven, please.
Seven.
What what who's your carrier?
ATT.
ATT.
Cool.
So you can you can ask for any color, and I'll be able to satisfy your desire.
Do you have silver?
Oh, I do.
Oh, thank you.
I've got a silver iPhone 7 with your name on it.
Hang on to Mr. Snerdley and get your address.
Up next is let me see.
Panama City, Florida.
Steve, you're next.
I've got a little over a minute, so try to get in, get it, and get out.
Honor and a pleasure to speak to you.
You bet, sir.
I've heard rumors, I don't know, it's fake news.
I think this is real news.
What Obama's gonna do.
He's rented a house or bought a house in Washington.
Is set up some kind of networking, TV, etc.
to try to get the Democratic Party out of the scumbles.
Uh for your insight on it.
Uh he's he's gonna use social networking.
Twitter, Facebook.
Uh well now I I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I have heard that Obama wants to establish a quasi media network to assist in his efforts to preserve the greatness of his legacy.
Right.
Um I do know that Obama's not going anywhere.
He's gonna stay in Washington under the guise of his little girls finishing school there, so they won't have to be uh uprooted.
No, Trump is gonna have them coming at him from every direction.
And I I you're you're probably on this.
Okay, quickly, iPhone 7 or 7 plus, and what's your carrier?
Seven plus ATT.
ATT, okay.
Do you have a color preference?
Rose gold.
Rose Gold.
You got it.
Don't hang up, Mr. Snerdley soon will get your FedEx address.
We will be right back.
Sit tight.
Man, I do not know where the time goes.
All I know is we get more squeeze zoomed into these three hours than most people get squeeze zoomed into a week.
And there's tomorrow.
