Rush Limbaugh Interviews President Trump on Iran, Impeachment, and the 2020 Election
“I think they’ve lost their minds, if you want to know the truth…”
Rush Limbaugh returned from his holiday break on Monday and featured an interview with President Trump that covered a wide range of topics.
They started out by talking about Iran, the killing of Soleimani, and the stunning reaction to it by Democrats.
Then they moved on to impeachment and the 2020 election.

‘They’ve lost their minds’: Trump claims Democrats are using impeachment to ‘affect the election illegally’
President Trump bemoaned the Democratic Party, saying lawmakers are wielding impeachment as a political cudgel during a call into Rush Limbaugh’s radio show.
“I think they’ve lost their minds, if you want to know the truth,” Trump said about Democrats during a Monday interview with the Rush Limbaugh Show. “You look at the impeachment hoax, and they have nothing. They have nothing.”
The president went on to accuse House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of withholding articles of impeachment from the Senate in order to affect the 2020 presidential election.
“I think what they’re trying to do is affect the election illegally,” Trump said. “They are a joke. They are not crimes. There is nothing there. They found nothing. We went through two years of a Mueller report.”
I didn’t cue this to any particular moment because it’s only 19 minutes long, and I assume people will want to listen to the whole thing:
On a related note, Rush fans will be happy to know he has renewed his contract.
Brian Stelter reports at CNN:
Rush Limbaugh renews radio show contract in a ‘long-term’ deal
“The Rush Limbaugh Show” will continue well into the new decade.
Limbaugh, whose contract was due to expire later this year, has renewed his deal, the syndication company Premiere Radio Networks confirmed to CNN Business.
Premiere is a division of the radio giant iHeartMedia. A spokeswoman said Limbaugh renewed a “long-term agreement” and declined to comment on any specific terms, like the length of the new deal.
But according to President Trump, it is a four-year deal.
CNN Business inquired about Limbaugh’s status after Trump blurted out the information at a rally in Miami on Friday.
The president was there to launch an “Evangelicals for Trump” coalition. After lodging his usual complaints about news outlets that challenge him, he turned to praise some of his biggest radio and TV boosters.
“We have great people,” Trump said. “Rush just signed another four-year contract. He just wants four more years, okay. Rush, Sean Hannity, Laura — a lot of great people — Tucker’s been great, ‘Fox & Friends,’ right?”

That’s why it is called TDS. Derangement makes the sufferer do odd things while thinking they are acting and talking normally.
It wasn’t so much an interview as it was two friends talking.
I agree with the President. The impeachment is all about affecting the 2020 election. It is hypocrisy in full bloom. Complaining that Trump used his office to investigate an opponent while the Dems used their powers in the house to use their power of the subpoena to investigate Trump as a political tool and then used the power to impeach to justify their actions.
Rush is such a funny guy. It has to be a really fun job working on his production team.
DJT should give Rush one of those Medal of Freedom honors. James O’Keefe should get one, as well.
They started out by talking about Iran, the killing of Soleimani, and the stunning reaction to it by Democrats.
I still say, instead of calling it a killing, they should say Soleimani was given a full term abortion.
Leftists love abortion.
The primary reason the Dems/Progs are besides themselves is they can’t believe the smartest woman in the world lost a rigged election to a person who never held elected office.
The Democrats, along with the wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat party, the dinosaur media, is trying to rig the 2020 election better.
