RUSH: Let me grab another phone call \u2019til that begins. John in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hey, John, great to have you on the program. How you doing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Doing well. This is probably the best birthday present I could ever ask for, to get to speak to you, because I\u2019m a lifelong fan.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, happy birthday, my man. How are you?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Good — good. So, I have two questions. One, what advice would you give the Trump administration on how to deal with Obama\u2019s shadow government? And, two, is this the big gift for the Republicans to finally do away with Trump and his administration?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DCWashington-DC-Stroms-B-1.jpg\")
RUSH: Yeah. That last question is loaded, and we\u2019ll have to see. I want to preface that, this is a CNN story. CNN would love nothing more than to report that the Republicans see this as an opportunity to finally discredit Trump and get rid of him. And that\u2019s exactly what this story looks like. I mean, this story looks exactly like it\u2019s not the Democrats, folks; it\u2019s the Republicans that want to investigate Trump.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s the Republicans that want to investigate Trump and Russia. And if that\u2019s true then I think the answer to it, it\u2019s establishment versus outsider, it\u2019s not Republicans versus Trump. Because the Democrats are gonna say the same thing. If this is true, it means the Republicans and Democrats are on the same page where all this is concerned. It\u2019s an exaggerated story with a bloated premise, and if they see this as an opportunity to get rid of Trump somehow, somewhere, to start that process, God bless us.<\/p>\n
As to the first question that you had, you know, I\u2019ve not worked in government, so all I can do is answer as a civilian would without the necessary knowledge and understanding. First thing I would do, you\u2019ve got a story alleging that there\u2019s a shadow government made up of embedded Democrats in the bureaucracy. Common sense would tell me I don\u2019t need a story for that, that I know this. Common sense would tell me because I know liberalism and I know who they are and I know how they operate. Common sense would tell me from before I was sworn in that there\u2019s gonna be thousands of Democrats and leftists in the government that are gonna be trying to undermine me.<\/p>\n
So what I would do if it were me, I\u2019d root \u2019em out. I would find out who they are and as they begin acting I\u2019d call a press conference and point it out to people and I\u2019d name names. I\u2019d say here\u2019s what they\u2019re doing, and here\u2019s who they are, and here\u2019s where we think they link to. I mean, if the purpose of the Trump administration is to reorganize and rearrange the government and take it back for the people, whenever this typical inside-the-Beltway stuff starts, I would call it out. I would point it out. I would name names if I could prove it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I totally agree. I think that\u2019s what needs to happen. I think he needs to come out and actually just bring it to light and expose these people.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, let me tell you what else is going on, though. This is just a fact of life. The establishment, not so much these embedded bureaucrats, but there are powerful, wealthy people whose names you don\u2019t even know who are at every level of the establishment; they\u2019re in government, they\u2019re outside of government. I will I guarantee you — well, I shouldn\u2019t say guarantee, \u2019cause I couldn\u2019t prove this if I had to, but it\u2019s common sense to me that Trump has already been giving warnings and the what-fors and you better watch yourself, we\u2019re gonna let you go only so far if you get too close to home.<\/p>\n
The establishment, these people run the world, John, not just Washington. These are the globalists that run the world, and they\u2019re just not gonna sit idly by while some guy that they don\u2019t respect shows up and tries to dismantle it. They will use implied threats, direct threats, going after Ivanka and the family and leaking stories that Melania was a hooker, all this stuff is out there. It\u2019s vicious, vicious stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
RUSH: I would suggest that the president turn off MSNBC just once a day and replace whatever he watches there with a monologue from this program. The president likes TV, so watch a Dittocam version of a monologue from this program and that would, I think, go a long way to providing valuable assistance to the White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
