RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\nRUSH: Joseph in Edgewater, New Jersey. Hey, Joseph, I\u2019m glad you called. You\u2019re next. How are you doing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Mr. Limbaugh. I\u2019ve been listening to you since I\u2019ve been in my child booster seat in the back of the car. I\u2019m 20 years old, a Millennial, not the type you would think that would be a Trump supporter, but I am. I have been from the beginning. I just wanted to say one quick thing. As Millennials, you know, we\u2019ve grown up on the internet; we\u2019ve grown up on Twitter. In fact, when Twitter came out, I was still in middle school.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. It\u2019s like your air and water. I mean, your survival.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (chuckles) Exactly. It\u2019s been obviously, you know, called… I\u2019m Latino, but I\u2019m still called the R-word, you know, for everything. You know, I\u2019m a traitor, whatever. Whatever; that\u2019s fine. But so, you know, we\u2019ve grown up on Twitter, and when we were in middle school, we used to do the exact same thing that the president is doing on Twitter now. We used to call people out by name and not say it to their face whatever. And to me, it\u2019s like, especially the Millennials I know that have always supported Trump, he\u2019s acting like we acted back when we were young, and it\u2019s really… Every time I open Twitter I cringe because, man, I know what they\u2019re thinking. They\u2019re thinking the same thing I\u2019m thinking, you know? (chuckles)<\/p>\n
RUSH: So you think he\u2019s hurting himself here then with all the tweets?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, absolutely. I don\u2019t know about, you know, the older generation, but for the Millennials that have supported him —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n
CALLER: — you know, we\u2019re looking like we\u2019re fighting amongst ourselves. And we are. We\u2019re obviously not all Republicans.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I understand what you\u2019re saying, but as far as he\u2019s concerned, he loves it, number one. Number two, I think he looks at it as the only way he can get his side of the story out, given all the fake news. I think your comment may be apropos about the content of the tweets.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Our last caller… I\u2019m really sorry I ran out of time. But he did great. He got his point in with brevity, which is the soul of wit. He said that he\u2019s 20 years old, and as a Millennial, the kind of tweets that he sees the president doing are the kind of tweets that he and his buddies did in high school, when they\u2019re calling out people. And he said it seems… He doesn\u2019t know how it appears to “the old people” out there, but to… (laughing) To him, it comes across as a little childish or immature.<\/p>\n
So I have Trump\u2019s tweets for the last two days, and let\u2019s review these things, and I\u2019ll see if I can pick out the ones that our caller was talking about. Let\u2019s start with — da-da-da-da — his Sunday night tweets. There\u2019s a bunch of \u2019em, and these tweets, by the way, had to coincide with the appointment of Scaramucci as the new communications director. Scaramucci has said, among many other things, that he just wants to unleash Trump. He wants to let Trump be Trump. Which tells me — \u2019cause I thought Trump was being Trump all this time.<\/p>\n
It tells me that there have been people in there that have been trying to rein Trump in. We don\u2019t know to what degree they\u2019ve been successful. It would appear that they\u2019ve not been very successful because the president continues to say and do things that you would think those trying to rein him in are trying to prevent. Scaramucci says, “I want the guy to be the guy! I want Trump to be who he is,” and a torrent of tweets came off that. Sunday night. “As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!”<\/p>\n
Now, I want to reiterate: Trump loves Twitter. He loves doing this. But he also thinks it\u2019s the only way he has to actually get his words out there, in contradiction to the fake news. He\u2019s got plenty of media supporters, but you can\u2019t do interviews every day, all day, all the time. So Twitter is a way to get his own thoughts and his own ideas out there. I think a lot of people that are, you know, not Generation Y, not Millennials, don\u2019t have a problem with it. But this guy said that the Millennials do.<\/p>\n

Next Trump tweet: “It\u2019s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their president.” How does that sound to you? (interruption) You love that one? Mr. Snerdley, the Official Program Observer, loves that one. “Very sad that Republicans, even…” I would venture… I should have kept our young Millennial on the line to run through these with him. My guess would be he doesn\u2019t like that one. It sounds too defensive. The guy\u2019s president of the United States. What\u2019s he doing complaining about? Don\u2019t make yourself out to be a victim.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re the most powerful man in the world by virtue of the office you hold. Why sound like a victim? “It\u2019s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their president.” Look, I understand the sentiment. I just got through talking about it a half hour ago. The Republican Party has more power than they ever dreamed of having, more power than we ever dreamed they would have. They\u2019re squandering it. They are not using it to advance an agenda.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re not using it to defeat an agenda, other than maybe their own president\u2019s. Not all of them. But clearly — and I know people are saying, “Well, the Republican Party today is so diverse; it\u2019s like trying to herd cats.” Are you telling me that we can\u2019t come up with…? See, this I think is the essence of the problem. In my lifetime, we have never faced a larger collection of extreme, radical opposition. I mean, the Democrat Party has become farther left. It\u2019s become more extreme. It has become questionable in its devotion to America as founded.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/650-072417-Rush-Reads-Trump-Tweets.jpg\")
I\u2019ve never seen anything like this. The Democrat Party\u2019s always had a bunch of extremists in it and their supporters have always been, but they\u2019re unified. The Democrat Party is not all that diverse. My point is that we\u2019ve never had a greater opportunity to contrast what we believe with what they believe. And we\u2019re not even doing that. We\u2019re not even taking the time to inform the American people how destructive the Democrat agenda is. And, by the way, even though they claim they can\u2019t come up with any ideas. They\u2019ve got an agenda.<\/p>\n
The problem is they don\u2019t dare be honest about it, but they\u2019ve got one, and their agenda is the total transformation of the United States. And it\u2019s abundantly clear if you just listen to what they say and listen to what they oppose. It is abundantly clear. It is a golden opportunity for education, a golden opportunity to inform people, a golden opportunity to contrast. Never better! There\u2019s never been a better opportunity to we\u2019ve got right now to draw that distinction between what we believe and who they are.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s being squandered because there are many people inside the Beltway on our side who doesn\u2019t think that anything is particularly odd right now. They mock the idea that the nation is in crisis. They mock the idea that the future of the country is at stake. They think that\u2019s laughable. Because where they live it may be laughable. Where they live they\u2019re happy to be in the club, even if it means perpetual second place. They\u2019re happy to be there. Their economy is functioning.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t have to deal with many of the problems the rest of the country does, so what could be so bad? They don\u2019t have to deal with the problems of illegal immigration or all these wacko cultural things the left is doing. So, you know, Trump in this tweet says they\u2019re doing very little to protect their president. I understand the sentiment there. Next tweet: “It\u2019s hard to read the Failing New York Times or the Amazon Washington Post because every story\/opinion, even if should be positive, is bad!” Well, there\u2019s nothing to argue about. That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TrumpTweet2.jpg\")
“If Republicans don\u2019t Repeal and Replace the disastrous Obamacare, the repercussions will be far greater than any of them understand!” Now, that\u2019s all true. But I\u2019m just going to have to tell you: Why does the president separate himself from the Republicans on this? I mean, he\u2019s as much a part of getting this across the finish line. This is what presidents do. They bring together different coalitions and they lead the way into moving the agenda forward. Never is it easy. I know as many different factions of the Republican Party exist unifying them as tough.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/BookCodevilla.jpg\")
But the fact of the matter is what\u2019s unique about this is that many in the Republican Party don\u2019t want Trump to succeed. They don\u2019t want his agenda to succeed, even if they support it, because Trump\u2019s an outsider, and they don\u2019t want an outsider to succeed. Insiders, ruling class. I was thinking last night about Angelo Codevilla. You know that piece is four years old now or maybe seven years old now, the ruling class piece that he wrote in the American Spectator that I came across<\/a>.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TRUMTWEET3.jpg\")
“Drain the Swamp should be changed to Drain the Sewer — it\u2019s actually much worse than anyone ever thought, and it begins with the Fake News!” All true, again, but why is he writing of this stuff as though he\u2019s a bystander? Why is he writing of all this stuff as though he\u2019s an observer? He said he was gonna drain the swamp. Now it\u2019s the sewer. What do you do with plugged sewers? You go out there and get Roto-Rooter! Have you ever hired Roto-Rooter? (interruption) Have you ever needed Roto-Rooter? You know why you need Roto-Rooter?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TRUMTWEET4.jpg\")
He did allude to fact that they can\u2019t live off Russia alone. But that\u2019s just for consumption on the Sunday show. That doesn\u2019t mean that Pencil Neck Adam Schiff\u2019s gonna shut up. It doesn\u2019t mean that all these people are gonna stop focusing on Russia. This is just Chuck You giving the Democrats cover and giving the media permission to start reporting on the Democrats in ways other than their focus on Russia.<\/p>\n
