RUSH: First up, a poll is out today. It\u2019s a Politico Morning Consult poll<\/a>. “President Donald Trump\u2019s promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border isn\u2019t worth shutting down the federal government,” according to this poll. “Sixty-one percent of registered voters say funding a wall along the nation\u2019s southern border is ‘not important enough to prompt a shutdown.\u2019 A plurality of those polled say fighting for increased funding for defense and homeland security would be worth risking a shutdown,” but not to build a wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now, what a handy poll this one is. What a very handy and timely and fortuitous poll for the Democrats this one is. Now, let\u2019s have a poll to see if the public thinks it\u2019s worth shutting down the government to fund Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

“In an interesting twist, voters continue to show signs that they are warming to Obamacare.” Wow. This gets even better. Why, people that voted for Trump do not go away, want to shut down the government to pay for the wall, and people that wanted Trump are really now starting to like Obamacare. Hot damn. What a handy twist that interesting twist is. Isn\u2019t it just amazing the way the Drive-Bys\u2019 polls always support the media agenda?<\/p>\n

It says here that: “Voters are exactly split on whether the fight over cost-sharing payments to health insurance companies would be worth shutting government over.” In other words, you people, you don\u2019t want the government shut down at all except maybe, maybe if we need funding for the Department of Defense or Homeland Security, but for the wall and for immigration, don\u2019t bother us, we don\u2019t want a government shutdown over that. And so the people that lost the election last November are now continuing to run Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The threat of a government shutdown has caused the Republicans and Trump, as of now, to delay the funding for the wall until the fiscal year 2017-18 budget year, which will happen in September. I made mention of the fact yesterda<\/a>y that this has the potential of bothering some Trump supporters. We even took a couple calls yesterday from people and I asked them if the timing of the wall matters or just the fact that it will get built sometime is enough to placate you. Now, this is not nearly enough callers to make any kind of scientific statement, but every caller we took on this yesterday said delaying the wall is not what I want. The more you delay it, the greater the chance it isn\u2019t gonna happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. The Drive-By Media had a lot of fun with things I said on this program yesterday, as evidenced by this. Miami, WTVJ eyeball South Florida Today, a portion of the coanchor Sheli Mu\u00f1iz report about Trump\u2019s comments about the border wall and me.<\/p>\n

MUNIZ: While President Trump prepares to unveil his tax overhaul plan, it\u2019s being overshadowed by his push for a border wall. However, he\u2019s backing off some. Still, he says that wall is going up. That stiff reply to a question came just a short time after radio host Rush Limbaugh hit the airwaves yesterday. Limbaugh is a big fan of Trump and told listeners that the president should not back down from the wall. It appears Trump\u2019s comments were an answer to his concerns.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the case, but the Drive-Bys, this is what they want to believe. They want to believe that somebody like me on the radio could express difficulty, problems with the wall not going up now, the funding not being requested now, in lieu of a government shutdown. And they want you to believe that Trump is in the White House, and somebody said, “You know what, Limbaugh just said you better not do this.”<\/p>\n

So Trump then goes to the nearest microphone and camera, “Don\u2019t worry, don\u2019t worry, that wall\u2019s going up, I\u2019m here to tell you.” I don\u2019t think that\u2019s how it happens. They want you to think it happens that way because they want you to think that Trump doesn\u2019t have a mind of his own. He\u2019s either doing what Steve Bannon tells him to do or he\u2019s either doing what Jared Kushner tells him to do or he\u2019s then doing what Gary Cohn tells him to do, and then sometimes he might do what Ivanka tells him to do. They want you to believe he doesn\u2019t have a mind of his own, that he actually believes the last thing somebody tells him. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s how it happened. Here is just a short review of what I said yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH ARCHIVE: I\u2019m not happy to have to pass this on, but it looks like, from here, right here, right now, it looks like President Trump is caving on his demand for a measly $1 billion in the budget for his wall on the border with Mexico. The Democrats are threatening a government shutdown. It\u2019s the same old same old, and I was hoping that Trump would throw this shutdown thing right back in their face. If they get away with it once, they\u2019re just going to keep using it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because they always have. And, you know, the wall, as far as I\u2019m concerned, the funding for the wall, it\u2019s $1 billion in a trillion-dollar budget. And that makes it an insignificant amount of money budget-wise, but then the politics of this is an entirely different thing. Trump was sent to Washington to drain the swamp. If the Democrat Party, as losers, can continue to thwart the winners with this never-ending threat of a government shutdown and that the Republicans are gonna get blamed for it, to me it\u2019s time to change that. It\u2019s time to blow up that whole narrative. It\u2019s time to take it on.<\/p>\n

Government shutdowns do not actually become what the term implies. Two-thirds of the government cannot shut down. We\u2019re only talking about the third of government that\u2019s discretionary spending, and even at that, nobody loses their jobs, and nobody loses their Thanksgiving turkey. The whole thing has resulted from the Republican Party thinking they bought the farm back in 1995.<\/p>\n

This fear of budget shutdowns, for those of you new to the program, you can trace it back to the 1995 budget deal. Newt Gingrich was speaker, Bill Clinton was the president. The Republicans controlled the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. The Republicans were insistent on balancing the budget. Their Contract with America specified that this was one of their 10 goals and objectives and promises, and they were well on their way to doing this.<\/p>\n

The Democrats oppose any reduction in government spending. The Democrats oppose any reduction in the size of government at all, and instead they want government growing constantly as large as possible, as quickly as possible. In the budget battle of 1995, the Democrats came up with an allegation that Republicans wanted to cut the school lunch program. This was said as Republicans starving kids. It literally became a narrative. It was in the news every day Republicans want to starve kids.<\/p>\n

\"\"Then the media went out and found parents and asked them, “What would you do if the Republicans starved your kid?” And these parents, “It\u2019s outrageous, my kids can\u2019t learn if they\u2019re hungry, and I don\u2019t know why the Republicans want my kids to go hungry. I just don\u2019t understand it.” Nobody asked them, “Well, if that ever really happened, would you feed them lunch? You\u2019re the parent. That question was never asked of them.”<\/p>\n

And then the Democrats began a letter writing program. If you\u2019re new to the program, don\u2019t doubt me on this. Eight- and nine-, 10-, 12-year-olds from New Orleans began to send letters to President Clinton and to Newt Gingrich, “Please don\u2019t cut my lunch! I can\u2019t learn when I\u2019m hungry! It\u2019s already tough enough to get food. If you take my lunch away, I may not be able to learn.”<\/p>\n

And of course that was all it took. We couldn\u2019t shut down the government \u2019cause the Democrats said, “If you cut the school lunch budget, we\u2019re gonna shut the government.” And a government shutdown nevertheless ensued for a couple of days. And the media has been going to town since. “Republicans shut down the government. Republicans hate government. Republicans hate welfare. Republicans hate compassion. Republicans want you to get sick and die. Republicans want your kids to starve.”<\/p>\n

And instead of Republicans standing up and saying that\u2019s absurd and asinine, Republicans acknowledge that people think it and start behaving trying to change their minds. After that budget shutdown the Republicans were not hurt in the next midterm elections. The Republicans did quite well. Shutting down the government, in an electoral assessment, did not hurt them at all.<\/p>\n

But to this day they blame the 1995 government shutdown for the end of Newt\u2019s speakership and the beginning of the demise of the GOP majority in the House. It was absolutely untrue. And it\u2019s a holdover until today, and the Democrats, whether they\u2019re the minority or the majority, every budget, “Republicans want to shut down the government.” The Republicans have even proposed — I gotta take a break — that the Democrats didn\u2019t agree to.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I just got a very caustic email. “Mr. Limbaugh, you\u2019re missing the point. I don\u2019t care if there\u2019s a wall as long as illegal immigration is stopped. And right now it\u2019s down between 75 and 90%, and it\u2019s happening without a wall. I don\u2019t care about symbols; I care about results. And if we\u2019re getting rid of immigration to this degree without a wall and without having to spend a billion dollars, I\u2019m all fine with it. Donald Trump forever!” Okay. (laughing)<\/p>\n

What about…? Do you people not care about this bogus government shutdown garbage? You know, back… Let me tell you something. Back in 2013 Rob Portman, the senator from Ohio, Republican, suggested the End Government Shutdowns Act. This is how… Republicans are like beaten dogs. You walk up to \u2019em and they duck their heads thinking you\u2019re gonna hit \u2019em. So the End Government Shutdowns Act introduced by Senator Portman, the bill, you know what this would have done?<\/p>\n

The bill would simply continue funding at the previous year\u2019s spending rate until a new continuing resolution is passed. You like? Well, the Democrats shot it down. The Democrats don\u2019t want to get rid of the weapon they have by threatening a government shutdown and knowing the Republicans are gonna get blamed for it. “I don\u2019t care about a wall! I don\u2019t care! I care about results. Immigration is down. Donald Trump forever! Yes!” says the email.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dan, Victorville, California. I\u2019m glad you called, sir, and glad you waited. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. Thank you for everything you do, including your Rush Revere books. Got the first one for my daughter and teaching her how to read with that, and she loves it. Thank you again for everything.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. That is great. I really appreciate that.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: My question is, is there any repercussions these judges face for blocking executive orders or could they just be like the boy who cried wolf and just do whatever?<\/p>\n

RUSH: There are repercussions, but it\u2019s up to Congress. There are several — the judiciary has its own mechanism, but it\u2019s never, ever used. It\u2019s a very tight fraternity. There are mechanisms for impeaching judges, censoring judges. They\u2019ve been used. But there\u2019s no political will to do so, so while the mechanism is there, if the political will is — it\u2019s kind of like impeachment. The possibility of impeachment\u2019s always there, but impeachment\u2019s a political thing, not legal, despite how it\u2019s structured. And it\u2019s not gonna happen unless there\u2019s a political will for it, and by that I mean political will among the people. And right now I don\u2019t know that we have a sufficiently educated public to get mad at this judge.<\/p>\n

Look, most people, Dan, do not know what really happened here. They think that Trump tried an end run awn the Constitution and this brave, heroic judge stopped him, \u2019cause that\u2019s the way it\u2019s been reported. Trump wanted to steal money. He wanted take money from sanctuary cities. He wanted to harm people of color. He wanted to really harm cities that didn\u2019t vote for him, but this judge was a hero and said, “You\u2019re a tyrant, Trump, and you can\u2019t do it, (raspberry) you.” And they applaud the judge.<\/p>\n

And so the Republican Congress, which is like a groundhog afraid of its shadow when a government shutdown is talked about, is gonna take action against the judge, that could turn me hysterical too. Appreciate the call though. I like the way you think. It\u2019s a good question. And there is a mechanism, but without a political will, the political will to use it.<\/p>\n

Mr. Snerdley, what\u2019s wrong with mansions? (interruption) Nothing when they\u2019re yours? So why does this babe, this twit — right, twit? — why does this twit on CNN have a problem with them? I don\u2019t think that\u2019s it. I\u2019m sure she doesn\u2019t have one — well, I\u2019m not. She was a New York Times reporter? I didn\u2019t see that. I didn\u2019t get her name. It was right before the show started.<\/p>\n

\"\"My multitasking abilities are unique and incredible, but I can\u2019t see everything happening in like three minutes so I didn\u2019t notice her name. It was enough to read the captioning to see what she was saying while looking at her face same time. I didn\u2019t see any other descriptive characteristics.<\/p>\n

But the question nevertheless is, you notice how she\u2019s saying, “We\u2019re all buying McMansions. Too many of us are buying McMansions through home mortgage, and that of course is not good.” What business is it of hers who lives in whatever house? What blank-blank business is it of hers?<\/p>\n

Tom in Greenwich, Connecticut. Great to have you, sir. How you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, good to speak you. It\u2019s about the eighth or ninth time I\u2019ve gotten through, so I feel like a veteran.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, welcome back.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019d like to make a point which you touched on a little bit before about sanctuary cities and the funding that the judge cut off. And I\u2019d like to use an example that we know Barack Obama did and it was called Michelle Obama\u2019s school lunch program. The town I lived in about four or five years ago, you know, they complied with Michelle Obama\u2019s program. The kids didn\u2019t eat it. They nicknamed it the North Korean menu.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The kids actually starved. Michelle Obama starved kids. They\u2019re eating out of vending machines. They\u2019re going AWOL from school to go to a fast food place to get nutrition because she\u2019s making \u2019em eat fried kale and stuff.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, North Korea. I think was bark roots, centipedes, bugs. So, you know, basically the point I\u2019m making is, the town finally realized, saying, hey, you know what? We\u2019re gonna have to eat that million and a half, $2 million that was part of the program and, you know, they put it into the town budget to let the kids have a lunch so that they wouldn\u2019t go off campus or whatever. So, you know, there\u2019s a precedent there, and I don\u2019t understand why President Trump doesn\u2019t just say, go to Mnuchin, you are not releasing funds to those cities. I don\u2019t care —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He can. He can. He can do all that. The judge did not tell him he can\u2019t do it. That\u2019s why — don\u2019t make me have to go through this again, please. The judge did not say Trump can\u2019t do anything. The judge wanted the media to report that the judge denied Trump. But Trump didn\u2019t say he was gonna do anything other than follow existing law. The judge could find nothing wrong with that, other than to say Trump is lying about it, based on what he said during the campaign. Trump obviously wants to do more than what the law says, even though Trump has never done it, never said he wants to do it, the executive order doesn\u2019t go beyond the law.<\/p>\n

\"\"Then the judge created a violation. There wasn\u2019t a violation. Trump hasn\u2019t violated anything in this regard, but the judge made one up. He said that the threat to remove money is creating preenactment anxiety in San Francisco and Santa Clara, and that is not good. And Trump can\u2019t do that. But the legal beagles are looking at this and saying, “Why is everybody all worked up? Nothing changed. The law is still the law, the judge didn\u2019t change it, Trump didn\u2019t change it.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I\u2019m trying to tell people what really happened here. This is pure, pure politics on the part of the judge! The law is still the law. If Trump wants to send Jeff Sessions to San Francisco, if he calls him in and says, “Beauregard, I want you to head out there and I want you to tell these people they got 30 days to shape up, I want you to quote them Title 8 U.S. Code section 1373. They\u2019ve got 30 days, and if they don\u2019t, then by virtue of this law, we\u2019re going to defund them. Go out and tell \u2019em.”<\/p>\n

Trump can still do that. The judge didn\u2019t say he can\u2019t. The judge made up things Trump is supposedly doing that Trump isn\u2019t doing. And the judge is making up an impact of doing this that has not happened yet. Preenactment anxiety. The judge is telling us that citizens of San Francisco and Santa Clara might get nervous if they are faced with the possibility of losing federal money, and Trump can\u2019t do that, preenactment anxiety, that\u2019s enough to stop Trump.<\/p>\n

This whole thing is such a bastardization. Nobody has told Trump that he can\u2019t defund sanctuary cities, because the judge did not rule that law unconstitutional. This was a pure exercise in nothing more but a refusal to acknowledge the authority vested in Donald Trump as president. This was nothing more than yet another judge essentially saying, “You don\u2019t have the power to do anything because I don\u2019t acknowledge you as president and I don\u2019t acknowledge your oath of office because you\u2019re not sane and you\u2019re not of sound mind to actually tell the truth when you take the oath of office.”<\/p>\n

The judge didn\u2019t say this. This is what\u2019s in these people\u2019s minds. This is how they\u2019re justifying to themselves their actions. The Russians stole the election, whatever they tell themselves, Trump is not legitimate, he is not the authority. And these judges are telling themselves and the media they are saving America, they are saving the Constitution, they are saving the people this country from this tyrant. They are fencing in this tyrant, they\u2019re making sure that Trump cannot be who he really is, and the media\u2019s applauding this. It\u2019s outrageous here, folks, what this is. Anyway, I\u2019m fully prepared to keep explaining this, as long as it takes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
