See, Ashley Judd.
This will lead me into the Ashley Judd, actress and left-wing activist, says the tragedy of Donald Trump's election victory is far worse than when she was raped.
Okay, now how do you how do you deal with this?
I mean, this is clearly this is not this is not sane.
This is not rational.
This isn't anywhere close to rational.
She said, It remains for me the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my lifetime, meeting Trump's election.
Raped as a child, bad, re-raped by a political system that ordains a clown, that's really bad.
She made the claim in a Huffington Post video titled Ashley Judd describes being triggered by Trump.
And she's wearing one of those those pink vagina hats.
Only they're not called vagina hats.
Remember those things from the and by the way, the um the women, you know, there's another big women, women's march.
Wait till you hear who the three organizers are.
Just wait till you hear I'll get to that in due course.
Um, these people, the Democrats are in a big mess.
The Ashley Judge, the Hollywood left, the Robert B. Rice.
All of these people are just in a genuine psychological mess.
They're in a real political mess because I mean they're strong in California, they have electoral strength in New York, but in terms of national power, it has it has it is eroded.
Now that's not to say they couldn't reclaim it in future elections.
That's but but they have lost it consistently.
They've been losing it now for eight years.
Steady, and it hasn't mattered what Republicans are on the ballot.
It has not mattered.
While Romney was losing, the Democrats were being voted out of office in the House and the Senate in governorships and mayors.
When Trump wins, the Republicans won even bigger.
And the Democrats lost even more.
So why are the Democrats in this position?
Well, here's my theory.
I think it's mostly due to Obama and the Clintons and the media.
The success of the Clintons and the success of Obama and the media reporting on those two families with adulation and unopposed love has created an illusion among average ordinary American leftists and Democrats that they were a growing and burgeoning majority,
and that everybody, other than a select few, really screwable right wingers agreed with him.
They have been lied to by the media.
They have been misrepresented by the media, the Clintons.
Turns out that there wasn't all this personal adulation for Bill Clinton and none for Hillary.
It turns out that the adulation for Barack Obama had more to do with his race and the historical component of his election than it was to do with his policies, which were the transformation of America.
Look, the more Obama worked on and the closer Obama got to uh transforming this country away from its founding, the more strident the opposition became to Obama.
But the media didn't report that.
The media reported the exact opposite.
The media created illusions, just like they did during this campaign.
They created the illusion that Trump barely had 35% support, that Hillary was a landslide winner, that the country at large was laughing at Donald Trump.
Never mind those big crowds.
Never mind them.
They've been lied to.
They've been lied to by their teachers.
They have been lied to by Hollywood.
They've been lied to by every image maker that's out there.
That they have been smoking the opposition, and that they're in the midst of turning this country into a socialist paradise.
That it in fact may have already happened.
But there's been something else happening at the same time as the media lying to the Democrats about how rosy things were, about how loved the Clintons were, and about how loved and admired Obama was.
There's nobody left in the Democrat Party that knows how to get out of the mess they're in.
And the evidence for that, the evidence of that, is look what they think they have to do.
Raise hell on the streets.
Cause fires, hope to blow up buildings, throw rocks at cops, do this kind of thing, or worse.
This is not how you build electoral movements.
This is hate.
Go look at what Martin Luther King said about hate.
You can't sustain it, and it's not, you can't successfully build anything positive out of hate.
You can't grow it, you cannot, you cannot affect things in an uplifting positive way via hate, and they are the biggest hate group in the country today, the Democrat Party and its acolytes.
And not only are they filled with people at hate, they're literally overflowing with genuinely deranged and unhinged, I mean this in a clinical sense, people.
So they are reduced to all they have, because they do not have a single political leader to get them out of this mess.
Not right now.
They don't have a bench.
Yeah, it might have been Julio and Castro, might have been take it.
Joe Biden, they don't have a bench, they've got nobody get them out.
So what do they do?
They think these marches and they think these riots, and they think this resistance is a unifying thing.
And they think they can build the next big thing on it.
Because the Tea Party did.
Look what the Tea Party.
The Tea Party was not rooted in hate.
The Tea Party was not even a political movement when it started.
It was average ordinary Americans from the grassroots that never been in politics before, fed up with what the political system was doing.
These people claim that all they got to do is reenact the Tea Party.
These people are political from the moment they wake up until they wake up.
They are political 24-7.
They're schemers, they're calculators, they're bullies.
There's nothing average, common, ordinary about them in the sense of citizenship.
They are activists through and through, and they have been losing.
But here's the real thing I think has been going on.
And I have I've referenced this a couple times recently in a pretty focused way, but I didn't quite take it this far.
I've I've talked about victimhood and the real restricting nature of victim.
When you're a victim, when you allow yourself to be a victim, when you personally proclaim you're a victim, you cannot succeed.
You cannot be happy.
When you are a victim, you are forever at the whim of other people.
You can never be in control of your own life.
If you choose to be a victim, and most of these leftists are choosing to be victims, if you choose that, you are choosing Losing status.
And you become dependent on representatives to address the grievances that you think that you have and face as a victim.
But as a victim, you're giving away all power that you might think you have.
You are giving away any hope for optimism.
You can't be optimistic and be a victim.
Not this way.
You can be illegally prisoned and be optimistic you're going to get out.
Political prisoner.
Well, I'm just talking about you're a functioning adult.
You're going about your day, but you're choosing to be a victim.
And if you get right down to it, that's what the Democrat Party has become.
The American left and the Democrat Party have become victims of America.
This is what I think is the glue of the Democrat Party.
Every damned one of them thinks they are a victim of some American atrocity.
They are a victim of racism, traceable to slavery, traceable to the founding.
They are a victim of sexism, tracing to the beginning of the country when women couldn't vote.
They are victims of you name it.
They're victims of homophobia.
They're victims of bigotry.
They're victims of transgenderography, whatever it is.
They are all victims of something.
But the point of it is America is what has harmed them.
And its unjustness and its immorality is what has made these people victims.
And therefore America has become the enemy.
And thus anybody who loves America, like you and me, we are also the enemy.
We are blind, we are suckers, or we are genuine enemies because we don't see the evils of this country.
Now I maintain to you that the vast majority of Democrats and average ordinary American leftists in this country who thinks think their victims have been talked into it by university professors, high school teachers, Hollywood, and the media.
Because that's who everybody focuses on the disenfranchised, the hungry, the homeless, the thirsty, the starving, you name it.
If you look at every one of these protest marches, everybody in it, Black Lives Matter, women against guns, what they're all victims.
They have all willingly joined some group that is consistent that consists of victims.
Look at how many of these colored ribbons that people wear.
You've got red for AIDS, you've got pink for whatever it is.
You can make yourself look like a more decorated five-star general with all the different victim ribbons out there.
Global warming.
You're a victim of evil oil.
You're a victim of capitalism.
You are a victim of global carbon pollution, whatever it is.
And you are helpless.
But you have, as a victim, a built-in excuse for never achieving anything.
Victims can't.
By definition, a victim can't accomplish anything because the oppressor is preventing it.
And this has become the glue that attracts and holds the Democrat Party United.
And I'm telling you, folks, victimhood and victim status is not a growing, winning political organizational theory.
It's devoted to pessimism.
It is enmeshed in negativism.
It is enshrouded in anger and rage.
And it offers no solutions.
It offers only continual perpetual victimhood.
And it's what provides the excuse for all of the at times felonious behavior, misdemeanor behavior, the destruction of Private property, the bullying.
So it is a resentment and a hate for America that binds them all together.
Martin Luther King, I'll tell you what he said.
That hate is too great a burden to bear.
Because hate burns fast.
You can't build a movement on the smoldering ashes of hate because there's never any redress.
Once you start hating, you don't want to stop.
It's what animates you, it's what informs you, it's what gives you your meaning in life.
You couple that with being a victim of one of these invisible, mysterious American indignities.
And you are then faced with a lifetime of running around trying to point it all out to people and march against it and protest against it.
But there's no champion leading these people.
There's nobody now.
There's no the media cannot do glowing stories on whoever the Democrat leader today is, not like they could with Obama, and not like they could with Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton.
There's a vacuum.
So the stories have to be an echo of the hate that exists in the constituency groups of all these different victim and minority bunch groups made out, made up of the Democrat Party.
They scream, they taunt, they rage, they demand, they drive you crazy.
But they will not sustain a movement that will win back Democrat control of the American political system.
But on the other side of all this, and every bit of that is true, and probably even more than I've stated it.
But what's the only thing sailing the Republican boats right now?
The unexpected gale, the tailwind that's Donald Trump.
Without Donald Trump, where would the GOP be?
And they haven't reconciled themselves with that knowledge either.
They would rather that not be the case, if you ask me.
Some of them.
Some of them actually wish that the reason they have these winning majorities and winning opportunities, they wish it weren't Trump that had made it possible.
Because there aren't any excuses now.
The Democrats can't stop them.
All the Democrats can do is behave like a bunch of spoiled two-year-olds who just been told that Santa Claus is going to go everywhere but their house for the next ten years.
So I think this is why, folks, I think the intensity of this opposition, lack of unity, it's only going to intensify because the only thing the left has now that gives them any identity, any meaning, any reason to get up every day is the hate of unity.
That they profess really for you, because you are the ones who rejected them and their goddess, Hillary, and elected Trump.
They're mad at Trump, they hate Trump.
But when Ashley Judd says she feels raped by the election of Trump, what she really means is she feels raped, worse than when she actually was raped.
She feels raped by all of us who voted for Trump.
I know.
I take a break.
I know, I was right on schedule.
Right on.
You know this Ashley Judd thing.
Get these details.
Ashley Judd, if you're just joining us, she said that she was raped once in her life.
But the election of Trump was far worse.
Because she got raped again.
This is really, really bad.
This is horrible compared to real rape.
And she blames a male member of her family.
Because he voted for Trump.
I'm not she says he didn't protect her from being raped as a child, and now he's raping her again by voting for Trump.
I'm not making that book.
It's right there.
It's right there in the news coverage of the story.
Um this deck was the source for this thing.
Huffing and Puffington Post.
Here is Gregory, Satellite Beach, Florida.
Great.
You know, I f I thought the feminists didn't need men to protect them.
I I'm I'm not really confused.
She's blaming some guy in her family for not protecting her, but I thought they didn't need that anymore.
Isn't that what Lena Dunham's all about?
Or hell, any of the hell of 'em.
Rest of them.
Gregory.
Sorry for the eruption, my man.
How are you doing, sir?
Extraordinary.
I've been trying for years to get through to you, and this is an incredible birthday gift.
Thank you very much.
You bet, sir.
I I called today to tell you about how you transformed our entire family.
Uh I used to when I used to listen to you, I'd be driving in the car, and my significant other would get in the car.
Get him off of the radio.
Why got him on there?
And that went on for years.
And then last year you were on the Chris Wallace show.
And she said, even on Sunday you listen to this man.
Well, as you were talking, you started talking about your books.
Your compassion for children and wanted wanting to teach them about American history the proper way.
Right.
It was like a light switch went off.
And she ordered the books for the kids for Christmas.
She gets on her iPad once a week or so every so often, reads the books with him on her iPad on FaceTime.
And you transformed her.
Now she listens to you on iHeart Radio in the house.
Uh it's amazing.
That thank you.
That that is she listening now, do you think?
Well, I don't want to blow anything.
No, you're not doing no, no, no, no.
She uh her name is Karen, and you know, she listens to you every day, and now when she watches, she used to listen to the right.
Well, you know, here's the thing.
This is my reaction to it.
I could be you have to set me straight.
I I'm no different today.
Well, okay, she she listens to me before she sees me talking about the books of Chris Wallace.
Whatever she I'm no different before that show than after that show.
And yet seeing me on that show made her not just change her opinion on me based on singing T, but now she can listen to the radio show, which she used to not want to do at all.
Even though it hasn't changed, it's no different from when she hated it to now she likes it.
So all the only thing in there is the appearance on Chris Wallace and talking about the uh Rush Revere books.
And you know what?
It it she had this opinion of of everybody that you know well, it's love me, loved my grandchildren, loved my family.
And she said this man has enough compassion to want to help children.
And it it just changed her whole complete attitude.
Let me ask this.
How much of her attitude was actually based on listening to the program when you had it on, or just what she read or heard about it from people who didn't listen to it.
Uh it was listening to somebody talk about politics more than anything.
And she didn't want to hear that.
She wanted anything but that.
Music, whatever it could be, except politics.
Right.
And all of a sudden, it was like, boom.
Now she listens to Fox instead of watching Lawler and those people.
She uh she's not a big fan.
I can't think of his name right now.
And at the time, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, there isn't anybody else.
Um just kidding, Karen.
I'm j just just a tiny sliver of my sense of humor there.
Anyway, that's really great.
I appreciate the story.
I um uh my my wife is is going to be just jumping for joy because this was her whole reason she thought I should do this.
Since I she knew I cared about kids.
She knew I cared about American history.
She knew that it was uh uh a vacant area of the audience that I have not pursued.
And it was her idea totally to focus on doing this.
Because everybody was trying to get me to write another book.
And I said I'd been there and done that, don't we?
She said, Why don't you do this history book for kids?
That you know that was exciting, kind of fired me up.
So she's gonna be I I I will hear about this when I get home.
Maybe before the program ends, I'll get a message.
See?
See, I told you, she'll say.
And the kids love it.
I mean, you know, when she calls and she says, let's get one of the books.
You know, they have the first two books.
And so when she says, let's get one of the books I can read, it's like, yay, let's do it.
And it's...
Well, how old are your kids?
Uh seven to fourteen.
But uh you know, even the seven-year-olds.
Oh, Nanny, Nima, read me the book.
You know, and it's and it's unbelievable.
And it's uh it's brought joy and pleasure and happiness to her and to us, and you know, for that we thank you.
Man, I just I'm I'm I cannot thank you enough for sharing this with me.
I uh I really appreciate I really do.
I want you to hold on so that we can get your address.
We've got a whole bunch of goodies and uh and add-ons and things that we love to send people from the from the revere shop.
Uh so if you would if you would hang on, Gregor, he's in Satellite Beach, Florida.
Mr. Snerdley will get your address and we'll put some stuff together for the kids uh that will uh add to their enjoyment and attachment uh to the characters that are in the book because that's what we're finding happens.
These uh kids reading the books are growing attached to these characters, which is perfect.
Just ideal.
Gregory, thank you again so much.
I really appreciate it.
This is uh Matthew, Newport Beach, California.
You're next.
It's great to have you with us.
How are things?
Well, first, let me just say I have submitted your name 100 times to the Nobel Peace Prize for brilliance beyond human understanding.
Rush Limba.
So once again, you connected the dots for America this morning when you're talking about the Obamacare and what happened.
And the problem is the GOP.
Because let me tell you what happened, Rush.
I'm a uh small business owner, and I have a coalition of small business owners here in Southern California, and we are also GOP donors forever.
And after uh uh Obama got in and we saw this Obama kill, we knew it was the end of business.
So we all got together and said, hey, we gotta get Congress back.
And we sent them money, we had calls with Bahner daily, we did everything we could, and they got Congress back.
And then they told us, hey, hey, we need the Senate.
We can't do anything without the Senate.
So we were sending money to the Senate Conservative Fund.
We were doing making the phone calls, the emails, and then you know what they did, Rush.
They went and not only did these arrogant the epitome of arrogance, they exempted themselves and they funded it and told their donors, kiss our BI.
That's what they did.
So then the business owners and it was small business America that put Trump in office because we knew if we did not get someone like him who was a businessman who understood that small business, which makes up 70% of all the jobs in the United States, we were done, we were history.
And so we got together.
I even CEOs rush and GOP donors.
We do We do nothing but write checks.
We don't go out there and door knock.
We don't do anything.
We write the checks and tell them you better make it happen.
This time with Trump, uh uh we I helped put together 200 business women here in Southern California.
We went to as delegates to Cleveland.
We went above and beyond because we were so scared.
And now that Trump is in and they're trying the GOP, get the dips.
They have nothing coming, you're right.
When you look at that map of the United States, it's all red.
Only a few states are blue, and we plan on taking those back by 2020.
And and now those in GOP.
I'm telling you, you have no idea what's going on.
Well, no, you do.
No, I do.
That's the thing.
I I do I just lost my connection and I can't plug it in.
So I I can't hear you right now.
So bear with me.
I've got to go to a commercial break anyway.
But what I wanted to say was, no, I can't hear myself either.
The cable came in this.
Point is I do know what's going on out there.
I do know the kind of still rabid support Trump has.
I do know that Washington still doesn't understand it.
They don't want to understand it, and they're hoping that they can demoralize you, media, however, you go away.
So the question that you're gonna have you've heard Trump say that they can't get the tax reform till they fix Obamacare, said it today.
And he said to even today, he's got this great plan for Obamacare, and it's gonna get it done.
Now I know that people that voted for him still have undivided support for him.
They still trust him, still believe him, no reason not to yet.
But over there, with use of the GOP, and that's where people are wondering if the long knives are out for Trump, and if so, how can he or will he deal with it?
But look, you keep doing what you're doing out there, because it's obviously working like a champ.
Be back in just a second, folks.
Okay, look, right there.
As we speak, Adam Schiff, Democrat member Congress doing a press conference on the investigation between or into the Russians and Trump uh getting together to hack Hillary.
And right there he said, we don't know yet if Russia and Trump campaign had contact.
Yeah, you know why that is?
Is because there's not a single source that's ever said so.
Do you realize what a fake story all this is?
I told you, my friends, that you were gonna get challenged, listening to me talk about this to remind you so many times that it's important because the foundation for all of this opposition to Trump, the the thing that is giving it life, the thing that is injecting life into all these protests is that Trump's election was rigged.
These people, these poor deranged leftist radicals literally believe it because their media has led them to believe it.
The New York Times has done two stories, one in October and one three weeks ago.
These nameless sources in the deep state claiming that sources are telling them that Trump campaign was talking to the Russians during the campaign.
And in each one of these stories, there has been the following line.
None of the sources say there is any evidence yet for contact.
Going back to October, it is a non-story.
It is absurd to believe that the Russians impacted the outcome of voting anyway.
Nobody has asserted that because they can't.
What they are asserting is that Trump was working at the Russians to hack the Hillary campaign, the pedestal emails, and all this other malarkey.
But there's no evidence for it, and yet everybody's demanding a special prosecutor.
I heard on Fox today, a conservative never Trumper say that she supports an independent investigation into this because our peasants need to be held accountable to the people.
Somebody on our side saying this.
So the Never Trumpers are still out there.
And here's this Adam Schiff, a big press conference right now on all this.
Don't know yet if Russia Trump camp had contact.
That's why they have to investigate.
It's the seriousness of the charge, B.S. And there's not a shred of evidence.
Nobody has it because it didn't happen.
The Russians didn't have anything to do with the outcome of the way we voted in this country.
Nothing.
Zilch, zero.
It's preposterous to even allege it.
But that is what is fueling all of this anger and rage that Trump's election's illegitimate, that Hillary should have been, was going to be, everybody knew it.
Even at 9 o'clock in election, there's going to be a landslide.
Then it didn't happen.
There has to be an explanation.
And it's Trump was working with the Russia.
Because Trump made a joke about the Russians maybe finding Hillary's emails when nobody else could.
And since they have no sense of humor, they thought Trump was actually asking the Russians to finish the job and find the emails.
It's just the silliest, stupidest, lamest proposition to base a campaign or a future political party's strength on it.
They're fundraising off of it, but it isn't going to take them anywhere.
Unless they find somebody to make it up.
Okay, look, I'm not surprised to have to get into this tomorrow from the Daily Caller.
Leaked audio reveals anti-Trump forces manufacturing hostile town halls.
Look, we know this.
We now got evidence.
Everything is fake, folks, in the news.
