RUSH: So President Trump says that he is probably gonna revoke the security clearance of Bruce Ohr next. Now, Bruce Ohr and his wife, Nellie, are involved in this whole scam to set Trump up with Russia collusion as Hillary Clinton is. He’s every bit… Those two are so deeply involved in this, in terms of being corrupt. But people are beginning to say Trump should not revoke these people’s clearances for various reasons.
So the theory is that the president should just leave this alone because someday there’s gonna be a Democrat president, and we don’t want the Democrat president revoking all the clearances of our guys. Now, I have to tell you, I think that is such… That is mistaken thinking, to try to draw an equivalence between Republicans and Democrats in this particular area. You can’t find Republicans that were trying to undermine and corrupt the FBI, for crying out loud, in order to sabotage an opposing presidential campaign.
When have the Republicans ever done this? And when has the media ever participated in anything like this? The idea that there’s a moral equivalence, that, “Well, you know, one day the Democrats are gonna be back in office, and we don’t want them yanking the clearances of our intelligence people.” Well, the Mooch, Anthony Scaramucci is on Fox. He’s talking about this right now. His theory is, “Trump is gonna be exonerated; he doesn’t have to be doing any of this stuff.” Now, the Mooch supposedly knows Trump very well.
So the Mooch ought to understand what this is. Trump is so easy to understand. I guess that’s why people are having trouble understanding him — and I’m not saying he’s a simpleton. With Trump you’re a good guy or you’re a bad guy. You’re trying to help America get good and be great or you’re not. But he’s the guy that was the target of all these people! His campaign, his presidency, his transition was the target of all these people. And they were corrupt, and they were using the powers of the United States government in order to sabotage his legitimate campaign — legitimately victorious campaign — and now his presidency.
There’s no way these people should have security clearances just simply based on what they’ve done. I don’t care what party they’re in! I don’t care what kind of convoluted thinking is, “Well, they were being patriots, Rush. They’re trying to save America from a despot like Donald Trump.” He’s not a despot! He just doesn’t talk the way these people inside the Beltway do; so he’s like an alien. He’s not sophisticated, all this other stuff. But in terms of issues, he’s running rings around ’em! In terms of policy, he’s kicking butt on policy.
He’s defeating them every which way from Sunday, but the idea that John Brennan…? Somehow America is suffering when John Brennan loses his security clearance? Why should John Brennan continue? John Brennan. Let’s look at a few things when it comes to this guy and his supposed work and all that. This is a guy, ladies and gentlemen, who has lied to the Senate Intelligence Committee. He has not done his job well. He was involved in intelligence pre-9/11, and he was right in there at the top of the heap on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
And there’s a part of me that still thinks that that might have been a sabotage of George W. Bush. I mean, every intelligence agency in the Free World was assuring us that there were weapons of mass destruction in there, and we get in there, and there aren’t any. I know we got stories of them being packed up on trucks and moved over to Syria and that kind of thing. But that was a humongous embarrassment. That set the table… Remember that’s 2003. That set the table for destroying George W. Bush’s election in 2004.
When that failed, they began to destroy his presidency. They got his approval numbers down to the twenties, and that all started… If you can pick a starting point, it actually started when the Florida aftermath, recount, and so forth. But the weapons of mass destruction, that was the starting point for “Bush lied; people died.” Bush this; Bush that. Bush-Hitler. They were calling to assassinate Bush here left and right. Brennan was right in there in all that. He has repeatedly lied to Congress. He’s out there calling the president of the United States a traitor.
He’s being paid to say this. He’s trading on his security clearance and what he learns from it for paid television appearances on cable networks that are predisposed to oppose and hate Donald Trump. So, yeah, he’s putting himself up, he’s offering himself for hire to a bunch of anti-Trumpers who are willing to pay him to traffic and trade on information he gets because he’s got a security clearance. He is saying some of the most outrageously insulting and offensive and libelous/slanderous things about Trump and being paid to do it.
Where in the world does somebody like this qualify for a security clearance? That’s my question. Much less having it taken away, where does he qualify for it? When you get to Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr? You know, forget whether or not this could mean the future Republicans security people lose their clearances. These people have acted in corrupt ways to sabotage the United States presidential election and then a subsequent United States presidency! Why do they qualify for a security clearance in the first place? This is the swamp that Trump promised everybody that he was going to drain, and he’s doing a good job of it.
(interruption) No, no. I’m not… (laughing) Come on. You know, I’m not picking a fight with Scaramucci. I’m reacting to what he said. I think it’s a mistake to continue to equate Republicans and Democrats. Look, in some areas, there’s crossover and they’re the same. But we don’t do what they’ve been doing here for the last two years. I went through the outrage that is this entire investigation. I went through it again yesterday from this dossier to the whole Mueller investigation. This is absurd. It’s surreal. It’s outrageous.
All of the real crimes Mueller knows about is ignoring them — primarily to cover ’em up, in my opinion. And, furthermore, Trump’s not trying to silence John Brennan. He’s not trying to deny him freedom of speech. Brennan is running around talking about, “My freedom of speech!” His freedom of speech isn’t being affected here. Brennan can go on TV and be paid for it to say whatever the hell he wants. Nobody is telling him he can’t say X, Y, or Z. How is denying him access to intelligence — which I don’t think he has continued to earn that.
How is denying that somehow infringing on his freedom of speech? And the answer is that it isn’t. Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr, they’re thick as thieves with Fusion GPS. They’re thick as thieves with Christopher Steele. Bruce Ohr’s wife is a longtime Soviet apologist disguised as a Soviet expert analyst. I think that this is so simple to see what’s going on. It’s very clear that Donald Trump has a distinct view of the United States of America and who should be allowed — who is qualified — to have a role in the official position of defending and protecting the United States.
Some of these people have blown that opportunity, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t how that’s even debatable. We’ve got two narratives going on out there that are patently false. One of them was started by Andrew Cuomo with this whole notion of his that America isn’t great because… What did he say? We need every American “engaged.” What the hell does that mean? Every American engaged? I’m telling you, that comes from the multicultural technique or the curriculum or the belief system that America is not legitimate until every citizen is performing at 100%.
That’s absurd. It never happened! But to do it on the basis of identity politics and to claim America’s never been great because some people aren’t, and the reason those some people aren’t is because they’re being stepped on and discriminated against? So Andrew Cuomo runs around and talks about the fact that women are still being discriminated against, that women are profoundly oppressed in the United States. And the media’s running around saying they don’t have any freedom. And they’re running these mass, coordinated anti-Trump editorials yesterday in over 300 newspapers.
The intelligence community, the executive branch, the sitting president, a former president, the media, Hollywood, the music industry, academia, billionaires, Vladimir Putin all came together for the purposes of electing Hillary Clinton back in 2016! Let me say this again. The intelligence community, the Obama executive branch, Obama himself, Bill Clinton, the media, Hollywood, the music industry, academia, billionaires, Vladimir Putin… His operatives were trying to smear Trump. I made this point yesterday.
Every one of those groups of people came together for the purpose of electing Hillary Clinton. They broke laws to elect Hillary Clinton, and they allowed Hillary Clinton to break laws and then exonerated her in advance so that her breaking those laws would not become a factor in the campaign. They spent time, they spent money, they told any number of lies to get the most corrupt woman to ever run for office elected president, and not just so much because they love the most cheated-on woman in America.
It’s because their jobs and careers would be safe and their corrupt activities could be covered up as long as she won. We wouldn’t know 90% of what we know today if she had won. That’s another reason why they wanted her to win, and then you add to it the personal animus they have for Donald Trump. In addition to that, the left owns 90% of the media! The media say and do whatever the hell they want to do each and every day, whether it’s true or not! They make monsters out of people like Mitt Romney.
There is no politician too big, there is no amendment too valued, there is no business too entrenched to stop the media from colluding to say and do anything they want without fear of reprisal. What press freedom is being infringed? Donald Trump is not doing one thing to stop them! All he’s doing is calling them out! All he’s doing is pushing back, and this is what it looks like! All Donald Trump is doing is what we have wanted any Republican to do for the last 20 years! He’s doing it! They say it’s a denial of their freedom!
They say the presidency is broken! They say we need to amend the Constitution and get rid of the presidency because Trump won! They are the ones that have the agenda that limits and denies freedom! They’re the ones with the agenda that is punitive to their opponents! They are the ones who want to limit people’s access to speech! Can I mention Facebook and Twitter and instant chat and Snapchat and Up-Yours Chat, whatever other chats there are. You know as well as I do what’s happening on all these chats.
And the left has allowed Keith Ellison… He can have all kinds of women accuse him of things and the #MeToo movement just wafts away. The deputy chairman of the Democrat National Committee can be accused of abusing women left and right, and the #MeToo movement decides to take a coffee break. I mean, the ironies here, the hypocrisies here are too numerous to mention. The media owns most of Washington, D.C. The media owns most of New York City.
You can take your phony narratives and your phony victimhood somewhere else, media and leftists, as far as I’m concerned, because you’re just crying over spilt milk. You’re crying over the fact that you have all of this control, all of this influence, and you still couldn’t beat who you think is the biggest idiot to ever run for office! And in the process you have become elements of corruption of some of the institutions and traditions the American people have always trusted.
Now you’re crying, “Wah! Wah! Wah! My security clearance!”
You don’t deserve it! It’s not that complicated.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Thanks Kaslin. Rush's take on things.
I do not get to hear him
so thanks for taking the time to post
Heard this today bump.
I think at the end of the day, Brennan/Obama/Clinton will be found to have had a role in the Chinese breakup of our
intelligence agents in China.
They make monsters out of people like Mitt Romney.

Bishop Willard did that all by his utterly worthless self.
If you fire the nanny, the chef, the housekeeper and the maid from your employ and hire new SERVANTS, do you change the locks, or allow them to come by as they please? They may have pertinent information about what time the children go to bed, what stories they enjoy. The may know the best recipes, and where the master of the house concentrates his attention when looking to inspect the cleaning of the mansion. The thing is though, they are not loyal to you so why allow them back into your home? Why trust them?
Frankly, every person who is no longer employed by the US government, including ex Presidents should not have access to secret information. They simply are public servants, not our masters.
"May God vindicate him quickly and let him walk on the necks of all his enemies!"
Thanks Kaslin.
Bypass any future tit for tat revoking of clearances by an executive order (and then legislation) revoking everyone’s access when they leave one job and nove to another within government. They’ll have to get it recertified is all.
Revoke the clearance of everyone leaving government until they actually get another job requiring a clearance. Then, if good behavior, it can be easily reinstated.
I don’t agree with Rush on this. If you aren’t in a .gov job you shouldn’t have clearance.
Better yet, we need a Tyburn Tree style scaffolding to hang the traitors a dozen or more at a time.
A waste of good rope if you only use it on one
Should be synthetic rope, not hemp -- longer period of reuse, and isn't "renewable".
