Did you know that? Have you seen that? &#8220;Unemployment Rate Down to 4.4%.&#8221; That\u2019s where it was during George W. Bush when we were smoking. Jobless claims hit a 28-year low. It\u2019s not an isolated story. Could it perhaps be related to this: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/texas\/2017\/05\/12\/mexican-border-apprehensions-hit-17-year-low\/\">Mexican Border Apprehensions Hit a 17-year Low<\/a>&#8220;?

Just the threat to build a wall is already reducing illegal immigration, the attempt to get here illegally. It is down over 70%. You think that might have something to do with the jobless rate hitting a 28-year low? &#8220;The arrests of illegal immigrants crossing the southwest border by Border Patrol agents decreased again in April. This is the fifth straight month of decline. The total apprehensions of illegal border crossers hit a 17-year low.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2017\/05\/11\/investing\/opec-oil-u-s-supply\/\">CNN Money<\/a>: &#8220;OPEC has asked a favor of other major producers: Please stop pumping so much [damn oil] and help us balance the market.&#8221; They\u2019re primarily asking us, the United States. OPEC &#8212; which, during Democrat administrations, has owned us. But now we are producing oil. We may be the largest reserve market in the world now with the discovery of shale and the ability to frack and get it out of the ground. Let\u2019s talk about being energy independent. You know, politicians for 35 years have been promising energy independence. Now it is happening under the Trump administration, and OPEC says, &#8220;Please don\u2019t pump so much oil! We\u2019re dying over here!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And he\u2019s still pursuing his agenda, such as OPEC begging us to stop producing oil and unemployment numbers at a 28-year low. Angela Merkel! &#8220;Germany intends to increase its defense spending in coming years to meet NATO\u2019s target of 2% of GDP, Angela Merkel announced yesterday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I only mention this to point out that Trump is the only one who\u2019s demanded that. Trump is the one who says, &#8220;Everybody in NATO should get out of NATO if you\u2019re not gonna pair your fair share. We\u2019re tired of it. We\u2019re not gonna pay your share and ours.&#8221; Ask yourself a question: Angela decided to fess up and pledge Germany\u2019s membership fee, which is 2% of your GDP on defense in your own country. She decided yesterday to do this. Why? Why would Angela Merkel&#8230;? If she\u2019s watching the news in the United States, why would she do anything Trump wanted?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-233272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpWinning.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpWinning.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/TrumpWinning-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>Why wouldn\u2019t Angela Merkel be sitting there thinking Trump\u2019s gonna be history in a couple of months? Why wouldn\u2019t Angela Merkel say, &#8220;I don\u2019t have to do what Trump asked me to do! I don\u2019t have to react to Trump. Trump\u2019s history. Trump\u2019s gone. I can see what\u2019s happen.&#8221; Why would she do this? Why would border patrol agents wrap up apprehension and deportation if Trump\u2019s gonna be going places, he\u2019s history, the media\u2019s won? Why are all these people reacting like Trump\u2019s gonna be there for a while and don\u2019t want to end up on his bad side, hmm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Just the threat to build a wall is already reducing illegal immigration, the attempt to get here illegally.
