RUSH: Hey, look, folks, in addition to all this being personal<\/a>, there\u2019s one other aspect here that\u2019s going on — and we must acknowledge this and get it out there. I have a suggestion to facilitate this. I have no doubt that the reason the media is carrying on this investigation is to get rid of Trump. Remember, now, it\u2019s fundamentally important to understand that the media is running all of this opposition and this resistance. The Democrats are an arm of the media in this case. The Democrats are not, in other words, running the show and the media following them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the other way around. The Democrats have a different agenda with this. The Democrats, the elected the Democrats are fine and dandy with the media trying to destroy Trump. But their objective is to stop Trump\u2019s agenda in addition to stopping Trump as a human being. There are two stories here — actually, three. “Mining Starts to Recover After Obama\u2019s War Against the Industry<\/a>.” This is a long story about the great rebound in the mining industry, something Trump promised and has already engaged in.<\/p>\n

\"\"“Steel Industry, Seeing a New Dawn…” This is the New York Times: “Steel Industry, Seeing a New Dawn, Is Cheering for Trump<\/a>.” The other story that\u2019s important today is that Aetna has announced it\u2019s leaving Obamacare next year. It\u2019s leaving every Obamacare exchange! They cannot afford to stay in it. It\u2019s another nail in the coffin of Obamacare. What this adds up to… Trump is not mentioned. Trump is not a target. Trump has made it clear. I think… I said earlier that I really think Trump needs to shuffle some advisers and get some people around him.<\/p>\n

He needs to stop watching the news, number one. Trust me on this. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t watch it anymore. I don\u2019t. It\u2019s an alternative reality anyway. It\u2019s not what\u2019s real. The steel industry is thriving; the mining industry is thriving. There\u2019s too much to do! Tax reform, repealing Obamacare. He\u2019s the guy that has to drive those things. It\u2019s not gonna be driven in Congress. The legislation is not gonna come from K Street. He has to do it. The more he\u2019s distracted by this stuff — which is one of its intentions. The media\u2019s purpose is to destroy him.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Democrats want to distract him so the agenda can\u2019t go forward. If Trump succeeds with his agenda, they\u2019re not gonna win anything in \u201918 or \u201920. So Trump needs to stop getting bogged down. I don\u2019t mind him tweeting because he\u2019s the only guy reacting, but don\u2019t watch and absorb all this stuff and have it govern what you think of the day every day. This stuff is poison. It\u2019s, by definition, negative. It\u2019s, by definition, destructive. It\u2019s aimed at harming him. And all he\u2019s watching is the evidence and the progress and the success every day that that movement to destroy him is having.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gotta stop watching it. He\u2019s gotta stop being a consumer of news like he was when he was a civilian. He\u2019s gotta get some people to keep him focused in there and understand and can tell him what\u2019s going on. He should not be surprised this investigation isn\u2019t going away. But he is, apparently. He shouldn\u2019t be surprised that firing Comey does not satisfy the Democrats. He ought to have some people around him that should be able to tell him, “If you\u2019re firing Comey \u2019cause you think you\u2019re gonna quiet things down, that\u2019s not gonna happen, Sir.”<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of progress in the Trump agenda that\u2019s happened, but nobody\u2019s hearing about it \u2019cause of this stuff. And I think on the agenda side, Trump is having major successes and has the opportunity for much, much more. And if he really wants to nail these people, if he really wants to stick it to \u2019em, do it there. Focus on get thing these tax cuts through there. Congress says, “Why, we can\u2019t go to taxes! We\u2019re distracted with the Russian investigation.”<\/p>\n

Ah, you\u2019re not distracted with the Russian investigation. You want to be distracted by it! Force it on \u2019em. You\u2019re the guy that\u2019s gonna drain the swamp. Go in there and drain it. Tell \u2019em what\u2019s gonna be what-for. You don\u2019t have to tell them why you fired Comey. Nobody deserves an explanation of the timing or anything else. He can fire whoever he wants! It\u2019s the executive branch! He doesn\u2019t owe anybody an explanation, and he doesn\u2019t have to go defensive with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
