RUSH: It\u2019s Eugene, Oregon. This is Adam. Glad you waited. Appreciate your patience. Welcome to EIB Network.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, sir. I got a quick question. What do you think about this? The media and the Deep State has been coming out swinging from Day One. They have nothing on collusion; they have nothing on —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Obstruction.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Obstruction of justice, thank you. They have zero evidence on anything, and he just keeps letting \u2019em come out swinging, come out swinging, come out swinging. And now it seems like things are starting to get put back on the Dems and others that are involved. Do you think Trump is playing the rope-a-dope game?<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s interesting that you ask me that. I had an email message last night from a financial whiz who thinks he\u2019s also a political expert. Don\u2019t tell him, but he\u2019s still a novice. But he thinks he\u2019s an expert. And he always sucks up to me by sending me his theories in the form of a question, asking me to confirm or deny. And I\u2019m sure he\u2019s surrounded by a bunch of women at a bar when he\u2019s doing this, and he\u2019s saying “Look at what Rush Limbaugh just said, I was right.” I know the drill. The guy\u2019s a nice guy, it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n
Anyway, he said, “Rush, do you know what I think\u2019s going on here? I think Trump\u2019s been duping these people from Day One. It\u2019s kind of like the snowball analogy, Rush. A little snowball at the top of the mountain starts rolling down the hill and the snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And that snowball\u2019s eventually gonna become an avalanche and that avalanche is being aimed right at the media. What do you think of that, Rush?”<\/p>\n
So here you are calling me today, Adam, asking me the same thing: Is Trump doing rope-a-dope? No. Well, I say “no.” I think Trump is entirely capable of it. I think Trump is entirely capable of staging any number of things, including White House chaos, in order to disrupt and distract. If you take a look, folks, I mean, let\u2019s just try to get rid of some of the fog here.<\/p>\n
While the media, the anti-Trump media and the Never Trumper media on the right, while they are focused on this singular story of getting rid of Trump either via collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice or firing the FBI director or what have you, while they\u2019re all looking at that daily, while they\u2019re focused on it 24\/7, Trump is moving his agenda.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s having meetings with all these different groups — technology week, health care week, you name it — he had his trip to the Middle East. The Conference Board has a story out today consumer confidence has rebounded now to like a three- or four-year high. Trump is doing everything he can do with executive orders. Now, you know what most of that is? Most of that is unraveling the Obama legacy. This is the danger of doing things by executive order. The next president can come in and erase them.<\/p>\n
Much of what Obama did was via executive order. Obama didn\u2019t have a lot of legislation passed. Particularly after 2010, after the midterms, Obama couldn\u2019t get much legislation passed. So everything he did with waivers on Obamacare and the things he did on immigration, the things he did with DREAMers and gay marriage — well, that ended up being Supreme Court, but most of this stuff was done by executive order. So Trump is able to go in and cancel it all. And he is doing that. He is unraveling, he\u2019s canceling the Obama legacy, which has them livid. And it\u2019s only possible because Obama was unable to get a lot of legislation passed.<\/p>\n
I mean, if some of this health care stuff, some of these waivers had been backed up by legislation, Trump could not have gotten rid of it unless he had similar legislation which overrode it or canceled it. Since it was mostly executive orders, he can say not now, not now, and cancel it and substitute his own. But he\u2019s done that. He\u2019s done that. Look at the numbers of people — immigrants are down, illegal immigration is down. The number of refugees trying to get in America is way, way down.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/GorsuchTrumpGorsuch-300x200.jpg\")
Trump shows up for work every day and is continuing, he\u2019s halved regulations. There\u2019s a big focus on eliminating regulations and policing new ones. You could make the case — and look at his judicial appointment, Gorsuch, and these 11 other federal court judges, the list that he\u2019s got, they are right out of something maybe Reagan would chose, maybe even better. So you could make the case over here that one hand the Trump agenda, to the extent that he can advance it, is being advanced.<\/p>\n
The media is not even trying to stop it directly. They\u2019re still trying to destroy Trump when it comes to Russia, collusion, Comey being fired and all that, which is enabling Trump do an end run. Now, could it be that Trump is feeding this chaos by keeping them focused? And look at the tweets. Trump\u2019s tweets every day are designed to tick them off. Trump\u2019s tweets are designed to just hit them upside the head. Trump\u2019s tweets are designed to trickle into their nostrils and go down their throats and upset their stomachs, and he\u2019s got dead aim on all this.<\/p>\n
Now, is this strategy, or is this just Trump instinct? We don\u2019t know. But more and more people are now beginning to echo the sentiments with which I opened the program yesterday, that seemingly there\u2019s been a momentum shift. And at some point there would have to be. When you\u2019re trying to make something out of nothing, nothing is still what you have. And they don\u2019t have anything. Their primary premise, they have nothing. And yet they\u2019re totally devoted to it, the media, I mean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
