RUSH: Now, there\u2019s good news out. There\u2019s always good news in the country that never does get reported. I try to find it and mention it in the midst of all of this rigmarole that\u2019s going on. Now, there are two things in this regard that interest me today. And one of them, on the surface, is not good. But it is potentially reversible. The first story is from the Wall Street Journal: “U.S. industrial production rose sharply in April, a sign of underlying strength in the economy.<\/a>” This is just the latest in a long line of stories about the rebirth and the sudden reversal in direction of the United States economy.<\/p>\n

\"\"It is directly attributable to getting rid of Barack Obama. We never had stories like this: “Industrial Production Surged in April.” We never had that! The stories we got were about economic stagnation or economic decline. And we were told, “Well, this is the new normal. This is just what we had to get used to as the nation fights climate change and switches to green energy and all these other things,” to supposedly improve everybody\u2019s life. We were making them worse! Fifteen years of no increase in average income in the country.<\/p>\n

The unemployment numbers were skyrocketing, and they were not being replaced. We had this labor force participation rate number of 94 million Americans not even in the workforce. Now, that number is still around 93. There\u2019s still way too many in it. But it\u2019s going in the right direction now. We look at the numbers of illegal aliens not even trying to get into the country now; that number is reduced by almost 75, and it doesn\u2019t make the Democrats happy. That\u2019s the people they need to make up their perpetual underclass.<\/p>\n

They need a never-ending underclass — economic underclass — that is in a constant state of dependence, in need of Democrats in Washington. Without even building a wall — with just straight-down-the line-enforcement of the law — look at what is happening. A major dent in illegal immigration — and, folks, this is a huge issue. Illegal immigration and the Balkanization of the people arriving, the lack of assimilation, the lack of them joining a distinct America culture and the fact that the Democrats were trying to destroy this distinct American culture.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest about it. The “transformation” of America that Obama spoke about literally meant transforming our culture and diluting it. Because the culture, as well as our history, is viewed by today\u2019s left as corrupt, unjust, immoral, unequal, racist, sexist, bigoted. They\u2019ve got just the most horrible opinions of their own country. So destroying the American culture and replacing it with a hodgepodge of whatever, with no moral guardrails and no moral foundation, no law and order foundation…<\/p>\n

\"\"Even law and order was under assault in the Obama years! The cops were the big targets. Law enforcement, now, Trump is honoring them. He\u2019s standing behind them. He has sent out a message with Sessions and his proclamation the other day ordering prosecutors to seek maximum jail time. Some people have major problems with that, by the way, which we can get into on another occasion. The point is that in just… What is it, January, February… In four months, 4-1\/2 short months, there has been a reversal.<\/p>\n

Which is pretty fast, without there having been any significant legislation yet. And it\u2019s an attitudinal shift. There is a greater optimism in the economy. Manufacturing jobs are coming back. American companies are announcing they\u2019re staying here and not leaving for foreign countries. There are all kinds of upbeat, positive things happening that the Drive-By Media doesn\u2019t dare report, doesn\u2019t dare reference or even mention. The picture that\u2019s painted, of course, is the exact opposite: despair, destruction, incompetence, boobery, you name it.<\/p>\n
