Why the Worldwide Left Is So
Opposed to Donald Trump, by Rush Limbaugh, 8/15/19.
RUSH:
So, I ran across this piece and I want to share it with you because when I was
reading this piece, it caused a bunch of lights to go off. One of the things
that I’ve been trying to figure out, even though those of you who listen will
think I have it figured out, to me there’s always more than what I understand
on most things. Even though I think I may have something figured out, there’s
still more to learn about it.
And
this opposition to Trump, it’s so irrational. It’s so obsessive that it puzzles
me. And over what? Make America Great Again. Now, look, I understand the left
hates America. The left hates the concept of capitalism and freedom. But they
have never been anywhere near a majority of the population in this country.
Never. They’ve always been fringe. They’ve been around since the days of the
founding. Their strength has ebbed and flowed, you might say they’re 30, 35
percent, but I don’t even think that in terms of getting votes.
But yet they’re
portrayed by a sympathetic media as being the majority of the country. If you
landed here from Mars you would think the election of Donald Trump was some
kind of real aberration because he represents 20 percent of the thinking and
that the whole country is outraged every day because Donald Trump somehow
shouldn’t be president. And, of course, the truth is over 65 million people
voted for Donald Trump. He won the presidency fair and square. And yet this
picture exists of something else.
And the opposition to
Trump goes way beyond just Democrats losing. And it is the singular slogan of
Trump’s that it’s not just a slogan, it’s an objective: Make America Great
Again. The degree to which that has rendered his opponents insane has remained
a big question. Even though I think I understand most of it intellectually,
I’ve said to myself there’s got to be more to this. This is just irrational. It
doesn’t make sense that this many people do not want America to be great.
So that remains a focal
point, a frame of reference, as I go about my life living, learning, reading,
this kind of thing. I came across something today that helped me understand it
a bit more. It was nothing I didn’t already know. It’s one of these pieces,
like Angelo Codevilla’s piece that we shared with you many, many moons ago on
the ruling class versus the country class. It was like the revelation of
learning what the current services baseline is in the federal budget and how
that leads to what is called baseline budgeting. Those were light-goes-off
moments.
Well, this piece that I
ran into appears at the American Greatness website. And it’s written by a man
named John Fonte, F-o-n-t-e. And the headline,” Who Makes the ‘Rules’ in a ‘Rules-Based’
Liberal Global Order?”
Now, this column is adapted from a speech that he gave at the National
Conservative Conference in Washington on July 17th, about a month ago. And it
prints to six pages. I can’t read the whole thing. But I’ve highlighted some
pull quotes for you here that I think will make the point.
It begins thus: “The
forces promoting global governance represent a serious actor, driver, or player
in world politics. Transnationalism or globalism has an ideology and a
social-material base. And, crucially, it has a strong American connection.”
Transnationalism is the word now for globalism.
“The ideology is
utopian, the age-old dream of worldwide peace and prosperity under a benevolent
global regime. Further, the globalist project is bipartisan, in terms of both
ideas and institutions.”
Now, I don’t believe
that there’s anything utopian about it. Maybe from the duped, like your
millennial college kids who think that utopia is possible. But the people
running the show, I don’t think there’s anything utopian about them. I think
they’re power mad. I think they’re evil, power mad people. And they have no
intention of creating a utopia.
“Democrat Anne Marie
Slaughter, who headed the Obama State Department’s office of policy and
planning, declared that global governance meant nations would cede sovereign
authority to supranational institutions in cases requiring global solutions to
global problems.”
So this is simply
acknowledging that Obama had a State Department employee who was responsible
for spearheading America’s participation in this new global transnationalism,
and her name was Anne Marie Slaughter. George H.W. Bush had somebody in his
administration who today is involved in the same project. His name is Richard
Haass. He held the same position in the State Department as Anne Marie
Slaughter did for Obama, but he now runs the Council on Foreign Relations.
“More
than a decade ago, he said it was time to ‘rethink’ sovereignty arguing that
‘sovereignty is not only becoming weaker in reality, but that it needs to
become weaker.’” To trans-nationalists or globalists, sovereignty is an
opposition. It’s something that has to be overcome. Sovereignty cannot exist
with trans-nationalists. You’ve got get rid of borders, you’ve got to get rid
of nation states, the whole concept.
“In
2008, Robert Kagan, then advising the presidential campaign of Senator John
McCain, declared that the ‘United States . . . should not oppose, but welcome a
world of pooled and diminished national sovereignty.’
“The
social-material base of the trans-nationalists is housed in many institutions
and organizations. For example, in the leadership of the United Nations; with
bureaucrats from the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund,
and the World Bank; with judges from the World Court in the Hague, the
International Criminal Court, and the European Court of Human Rights.”
All
these things that we’ve cataloged, categorized and known as they’re
established. Trump rails against them all as being anti-American. They’re not
existing to further America’s interests. They exist to actually, for lack of a
better word, punish America. This is all about what I’ve always said.
Diminishing America in the post-war period. We are the remaining, the only
world super power, but we’ve got to be diminished for these people. They don’t want
to just run the U.S., they want to run the world. And they can’t if the U.S.
remains a superpower and gigantic and sovereign.
“For
American trans-nationalists, global experts in international law, human rights,
the environment, gender equity would have greater legitimacy in the creation of
‘global rules’ than democratically elected officials.”
What
this means is that for these people that believe in transnationalism, a utopian
globalist regime that the experts that would be housed in leadership in this
regime would have a much freer easy time of instituting their brand of human
rights via the environment, gender equity — those things would have a much
greater legitimacy if we could just diminish the United States because
diminishing the United States would be diminishing its moral code, would be
diminishing its moral and legal foundations.
So in
many ways what this is saying is that we represent the obstacle, the final
obstacle, if you will, to the desire these people have to establish a gigantic
and, they claim, benevolent government leadership body.
Now,
this group of people as it exists now, “The social base certainly includes the
leadership of the European Union (which is a model for supranational
governance) and its administrators in the European Commission, judges in the
European Court of Justice, and other EU officials. It includes international
non-governmental organizations (e.g. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch,
Greenpeace, George Soros’s Open Society foundations, etc.).” It’s important
that these are nongovernment, NGOs, they’re all leftists. Everything that we’re
talking about here is left-wing. It’s liberal. It’s socialist. It’s communist.
And
this alignment or amalgamation of government entities and nongovernment
entities is meant to blanket and cover every area necessary to bring this
about. Now, here’s the point or one of many.
“Significantly,
there is a strong American presence in the forces of global governance: major
foundations (Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc.), the American academic world;
the American Bar Association which openly advocates the ‘global rule of law’;
and, of course, among leading American global corporations. Indeed, the vice
president of Coca-Cola remarked, ‘We are not an American company.’ … A top
executive at Colgate-Palmolive declared, ‘There is no mindset that puts this
country (the United States) first.’”
See,
there it is, right there. These people, these CEOs, corporate CEOs,
nongovernment organizations, think tanks, you name it, and the European Union
governing bodies all believe that there is no mindset that puts the U.S. first.
So
here comes Trump, Make America Great Again. Putting America first is exactly
what Donald Trump is all about. Donald Trump has not just swatted a hornet’s
nest in the United States. Donald Trump has swatted a gigantic nest that’s the
size of the whole world and he has put the fear of failure right in their face.
He’s upset the apple cart in ways these people never thought could happen.
There
would never be anybody from the current Washington establishment who would ever
run for president, who would ever hold the views that Donald Trump holds,
particularly and specifically about revitalizing America, making America a
legitimate force for good in the world, by virtue of its strength and moral
authority. They thought they had done away with that.
The
Washington establishment simply doesn’t have people like Donald Trump in it and
the Washington establishment is from where presidential candidates come. The
scope and the impact to which Donald Trump has upset these people and their
dreams and their worldwide objectives is hard to categorize, how dramatic and
huge that it is.
“When
she was a journalist writing for The Atlantic, current Canadian Foreign
Minister Chrystia Freeland was told by a U.S.-based CEO of one of the world’s
largest hedge funds that he was not concerned about the ‘hollowing out of the
American middle class.’ He said that if the global economy ‘lifts four people
in China and India’ into the middle class and meanwhile ‘one American drops out
of the middle class, that’s not such a bad trade.’ Samuel Huntington described
this process as the ‘de-nationalization’ of American corporate elites.”
See,
for the objectives of these people to succeed, the United States has to lose in
a zero-sum game. In order for there to be economic gains, because these people
that are running this worldwide trans-nationalist dream, they need for enough
people to do well enough economically to not oppose anything. But they also
understand that that can’t happen unless some of the wealth comes from the
United States. And how do you take the wealth from the United States? Well, you
take economic power away from the American middle class is how you do it.
And
how do you do that? Well, you raise their taxes or you slow down their economy,
and you tell them that America’s best days are behind them. You do what Obama
did for eight years. You tell people that, “Hey, you know what? We’re not going
to be as great as we once were. We weren’t as great as you think we were. We
stole all the resources that we used to build ourselves up to a superpower, but
we’ve been plenty immoral and unjust. And so there’s a new norm. There’s a new
norm, and it is a steady decline and we’re the ones to manage it.”
That’s
how you do it. That is how you convince the American people to tolerate the
evaporation of their economy. Don’t just tell them that it’s over, that you’re
looking out for them, you’re looking out for them, you’re watching out for
them, you’re going to have their backs. In the meantime, the lower classes, the
middle classes of the world have to be lifted up and it’s done with U.S.
wealth.
And
Donald Trump is not going to play ball here. Donald Trump is not going to
participate in this. He’s telling them this every day. Given the plans these
people have and given the obstacle Donald Trump has presented, it makes perfect
sense that they would despise this guy. It makes perfect sense that they would
become irrational in their hatred and delusional. They’re on the verge of
pulling this off.
If
Hillary Clinton had been elected they would have pulled this off. It would just
have been the continuation of the decline, the continuation of the belief that
America’s best economic days are behind us. The continuation of the belief that
the days of your kids doing better than you did are over. Obama and his
administration implanted that very thought and idea in the minds of Americans —
they thought.
And
then here comes Trump down the escalator in 2015 essentially saying, “No way;
we’re not putting up with this. We’re not going to sit here and let America be
made a second-class country. We’re going to be making it great again.” And look
at what happened. A clear majority of the American people rose up and voted for
the guy, and these people who are running this trans-nationalist scheme, which
is very real, still haven’t recovered from it.
So
the ongoing effort to ruin Trump is not going to stop. And even if Trump
stopped tweeting, and if he did everything all the people who don’t like the
way he lives, if he would change everything the way everybody’s demanding, it
would not stop one iota worth of criticism.

TRANSCRIPT
RUSH:
Now back to this piece on trans-nationalism and again, this is by John
Fonte. I found it at American Greatness. It’s from a speech that he
gave a month ago in Washington. Let me repeat this one paragraph because
this is key: “A top executive at Colgate-Palmolive declared, ‘There is no
mindset [among his compatriots, among his trans-nationalists] that puts this
country (the United States) first.’ When she was a journalist writing for the
Atlantic, current Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland was told by a
U.S.-based CEO of one of the world’s largest hedge funds that he was not
concerned about the ‘hollowing out of the American middle class.'”
No
way!
“He
said that if the global economy ‘lifts four people in China and India’ into the
middle class and meanwhile ‘one American drops out of the middle class,’ we can
live with that.” Well, what does that mean? It means for these
people in India and China to lift themselves within their own middle class, the
wealth has to come from the U.S. and he’s perfectly fine with that.
That’s why I said, “It was not accidental that Barack Obama is telling
everybody that our best days are behind us, that we’re in a new period of
decline, that Obama and his types are the perfect people to manage the decline.
“And
1%, 1.5% economic growth? That’s the new normal!”
All
of this was to set in motion a mental attitude in the United States, “Hey, 1%
growth is good; that’s about what we can expect. Maybe we shouldn’t have been
so powerful in the past!” This was all part of being able to strip wealth
out of the United States, spread it around the world, build up support for the
transnational government. If you’ve got a transnational organization and
you can say that you’re helping people move up economically, then you may have
their support. Not that you care about the democratic process, but it
would help in limiting anybody opposed to what you’re trying to do. It’s a
hideous bunch.
So
Trump comes along and totally pulls the rug out from under these people. Brexit!
Brexit was the same thing.
“With
the Brexit referendum, the election of Donald Trump, and the rise of
conservative, democratic nationalists throughout the West,” meaning western
democracies, “the global governance project has been seriously challenged for
the first time.” They thought they were in an “arc of history” that was
inevitable, that we were headed to this transnational/globalist way of life
that would result in an end to the concept of national sovereignty. And
then Brexit and Trump came along. And they have been rendered…
They’ve
never faced this kind of opposition.
This
is the establishment we’re talking about. They put things into place
specifically and precisely to make sure these kinds of things like Trump and
Brexit don’t happen, and yet they both did. What does this mean?
What are these people thinking screwed this up? I’m telling you:
Democracy. People having the vote is what screwed up their plans. If you
take nothing away from what I’m saying, take two things away: In order for this
to work, the American wealth has to be reduced and the vote of the people, the
democratic way of life, has got to be eliminated.
If
people weren’t able to vote, Trump wouldn’t have got elected. If there
weren’t any vote in the U.K., there wouldn’t have been Brexit. I
guarantee you that’s how these people are looking at it. They’re not
seeing you individually as the opposition. They’re saying the right to
vote is something they’ve got to snuff out. That’s how they’ll protect
themselves against you.
Meanwhile…
Meanwhile… “After the fall of the Berlin Wall, many conservatives embraced
President George H. W. Bush’s call for a ‘new world order.’
“It
appeared to be a consolidation of the West’s Cold War victory and, thus, the
building of a Reagan-Thatcher global order based on expanding liberal democracy
and free markets. But the ‘rules’ in this ‘rules-based’ liberal global
order began to ‘evolve’ (as academics like to say). In the 1990s, the United
Nations Landmines Treaty and the establishment of the International Criminal
Court were enacted …against the concerns of American sovereignty.” Not just
against it, to effectively deal with.
The
International Criminal Court, the World Trade Organization — all these
organizations — were essentially created to rule against the United States. It
was all part of the process of deemphasizing the power and role of the United
States as a superpower in the world. “Recognizing this new trans-nationalist
challenge in September 2000, John Bolton portrayed a coming conflict between
‘Globalists and Americanists.’ At that time, 19 years ago, Bolton warned that
we must take global governance seriously as a threat to democratic
sovereignty.”
A
mere ten years “later, the Obama administration in the name of the liberal
global order was strong-arming democratic nation-states into adhering to
progressive social policies concerning radical femi-naziism, abortion, LGBT,
and gender issues.” In other words, Obama popularizes these things. You
know, he used to be anti-gay marriage; all of a sudden, he sends Biden out
there. “We’re now pro-gay marriage!” You see what happens there.
Obama
dispatches elements of his regime to normalize all of these things elsewhere in
the democratic west, all for the purposes of destabilizing the existing
political and economic order, to create angst and chaos in these countries as a
distraction from the real objective, which was to steal the wealth from the
middle class of the United States.
“Meanwhile,
the EU forced the removal of democratically elected leaders in Italy and
Greece, and, led by Germany, facilitated mass migration from the developing
world without the consent of the people of Europe’s democratic nation-states,”
and now it’s happening here. If you want to get rid of national borders
and if you want to get rid of national sovereignty, what’s one of the fastest
ways to do it? Flood nation states with people from outside! Water down
the very identity of the nation states.
Do it
with open-borders immigration and the welfare state necessary to keep them
there. And what once was Burgeoning European Country X, becomes something
unrecognizable with essentially no borders because anybody that wants to get
in, can. You don’t even need a passport if you’re traveling within the
European Union! And this is precisely what has been happening and is now
ratcheting up in the United States with the caravans. And, again, here’s
Donald Trump: “We’re going to build a wall!
“We’re
going to stop this from happening. We’re going to make Mexico pay for the
wall.” All this rhetoric from Trump, combined with his serious intention
to do all this, has blown up the “arc of history” of these people with these
grandiose plans. They’ve succeeded in Europe. They have not yet
succeeded here because of Trump. So, folks, to wrap this up (chuckles)
and there’s still much more here. But this deranged, delusional, extraordinary
opposition to Donald Trump — if you know everything about this — makes perfect
sense when you consider the people and the plans they had that he has
disrupted.

RUSH:
Here’s Wesley in Raleigh, North Carolina. You’re next and I’m glad you waited,
sir. Hello.
CALLER:
Hi, Rush. It’s such a huge privilege to talk to you again. I love the show.
I’ll get right to the point for Mr. Snerdley. I stumbled upon an article by
Anthony Codevilla, whose name I know because you originally turned me on to him
as a guy who posited the existence of the establishment. And the article raised
— it’s called the White Supremacy Hoax — and it raises the specter of that hoax
being used by said establishment to essentially oppress who they might see as
deplorables, and that includes the FBI. And we know that Chris Wray said that
white supremacists are the leading cause or the chief worry for domestic
terrorism.
RUSH:
I read the piece. And what you’re basically saying here, or you’re asking, is
if the deep state, the ruling class extends to the FBI or to the military and
so forth, and I’m out of time to explain the answer, which is yes. So I guess
you’ll have to tune in tomorrow to find out why.
BREAK
TRANSCRIPT
RUSH:
Yeah, there’s still more to all of this, and what remains is quotes from others
that further establish the objectives and quotes from Trump that demonstrate
his opposition to it and why they’re so distressed by the arrival of Trump.
And, by the way, the opposition to this has been portrayed as nationalism,
white nationalism. That’s not at all what it is. Trying to maintain America’s
sovereignty is the objective Trump’s really after.
