RUSH: It\u2019s John in Madison, Alabama. Great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s an honor, Rush. You\u2019ve been saying that the only person that\u2019s gonna separate Trump from his supporters is Trump, and I believe that if he gets rid of Jeff Sessions, that will be the beginning of that. Especially if he replaces him with another New Yorker, somebody like Rudy Giuliani, who was not… In fact, if I remember Rudy was anti-gun and Rudy was also pro-amnesty.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uhhhhh, ayyyyy…. I\u2019m not sure about amnesty. I know that Rudy at times in his life, depending on the state of his marriage, was pro-choice.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Which is true for a lot of male politicians, by the way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It depends on what their wives think.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Well, your other guest and you talking about the tweets? I agree with everything. In fact, I was a Trumpster from the first minute. But a lot of it was over the border and illegal immigration and believing that this might be this country\u2019s last chance if we don\u2019t get somebody in there that can start turning this around. Jeff Sessions fits that. I know he\u2019s upset, you know, whatever. But he\u2019s gonna have a tough time finding somebody… You know, there\u2019s gonna be very few people that support him, and Sessions was one of those guys.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let\u2019s just keep it at you for just a minute.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ll try to figure out whether you\u2019re a typical Trumpster or not in just a second. Are you…? I just want to nail you down. Are you saying that Trump would lose some luster in your eyes if he gets rid of Sessions?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Regardless of what he replaces with, you think that would be a bad move?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, that would lose some luster. But it\u2019s beginning to look more and more like he\u2019s… You were saying it real well earlier: When in charge, be in charge. I\u2019m seeing in Trump… I thought I saw a tough guy, supposedly. I\u2019m seeing a wimp beginning to show up, and he\u2019s beginning to bring in people —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Let\u2019s not just skate right by that. You\u2019re “beginning to see a wimp show up”? What do you mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you were talking about it earlier. If you\u2019re in charge of something, be in charge of it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, you mean the bystander comment that I made?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He has to fire those people like you said early on. Get rid of those embeds up there. Go into that swamp and start doing some things, not sittin\u2019 around sending out tweets about it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. So the bystander comment resonated with you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. You said it real well, but I was thinking it also. Now, this is something from my past. I was a soldier, and I\u2019ve been in tactical operations centers when things started going bad, and you can start seeing in people when they start to close in and get tighter as things happen instead of reaching out to everybody. Trump seems to be bringing in… The other day when he brought in Scaramucci? I don\u2019t know how good Scaramucci is or not. But he\u2019s another Manhattan type. He was elected in a movement that\u2019s out here in the rest of the country. Manhattan didn\u2019t elect him, people out here did —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. (sigh)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — to do things for the rest of the country, and when you start talking about the swamp? You know this. A lot of that swamp money, that K Street money comes right out of Wall Street. So that swamp, some of it is coming from right in New York City there. So you keep bringing in people from there? It\u2019s just beginning to look like those talks when people started getting scared when things starting getting tight. I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d see that.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Hang on. Let me try a different angle here with you. What if he brings Scaramucci in —<\/p>\n

CALLER: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you the question. Are you having trouble hearing me? It wouldn\u2019t be your faults if you are. I just need to ask.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I got bad hearing, too. (chuckles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, but can you hear had he or not?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I can hear you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Our phone system is such that we cannot talk… Well, you can\u2019t hear me if you\u2019re speaking and I\u2019m trying to respond to you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s our phone system.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Anyway, Scaramucci is what you say, and he does… They\u2019ve had to delete a bunch of his tweets because they\u2019re all left all the time. He\u2019s pro-climate change. He\u2019s pro this; he\u2019s pro that. So they\u2019ve had to get rid of those tweets. What if he brings Scaramucci in because Scaramucci is more of a loyalist fighter than whoever he is replacing here?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s assuming he\u2019ll actually fight and not cut-and-run.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, so far it looks like he is!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, hopefully. I don\u2019t want it to be too much about Scaramucci personally. It\u2019s just that the point I was making is when I\u2019m seeing people really get stressed — people who were losing their nerve — they started pulling in as opposed to reaching out, and Scaramucci is somebody he\u2019s comfortable with so he\u2019s pulling in all these… He\u2019s bringing in all this comfortable stuff, not necessarily the people that might be the best people there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I appreciate the call. I get it. Look, we have a Trumpist from day one who is… Well, he\u2019s got some concern. You heard him. And it was immigration that brought him in. There\u2019s some things that we need to note here, though. We\u2019ve done it before. We\u2019ve talked about it on numerous occasions. But we now have an even more vivid example. Illegal immigration is way, way down, even though there is no new legislation per se. All there is, is a doubtless commitment from the White House on down to get tough on it.<\/p>\n

Whether there is new legislation or not, whether there\u2019s a wall or not, the illegal, the would-be illegals around the world are not seeking entry. They\u2019re not trying, they are not getting into this country in near the numbers they were. It is way, way down. In other words, it is a humongous success, and all that has happened is a stated intention to eliminate it by building a wall and other such things, enforcement policies by ICE, the laws on the books being enforced, which they haven\u2019t been.<\/p>\n

Now, here is the piece de resistance. Los Angeles Times. Ready for this headline? “California Farmers Bemoan Loss of Illegal Alien Workers, Robots<\/a> — In California, farmers growing fruits and vegetables are increasingly upset at the prospect of having to either upgrade to robotic technology or offer higher wages and benefits to get their crops picked. The [Los Angeles Times] story begins with a discussion of ‘AgroBot,\u2019 a contraption in use … which picks strawberries.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Did you know there were robots out there picking strawberries called the AgroBot? Now, here\u2019s something in this LA Times story. “The LA Times has actually found an executive at a company that supplies labor to [farmers and] agricultural interests who is willing to come out on the record and admit that the industry has been knowingly hiring illegal aliens and participating in a scheme involving forged documents.” Now, here\u2019s the upshot of this.<\/p>\n

Because people around the world are aware and believe that Trump means it that we\u2019re gonna eliminate illegal immigration — we\u2019re gonna build a wall, we\u2019re gonna enforce the law, we\u2019re gonna deport, we\u2019re gonna do all that — fewer of them are coming in. So many fewer are coming in that farmers in California are having to raise wages or go robot to get their strawberries and other crops picked. This is causing an executive at a company to admit, quote, “We\u2019ve been masking this problem all these years with a system that basically allowed you to accept fraudulent documents as legal, and that\u2019s what\u2019s been keeping this workforce growing.”<\/p>\n

Steve Scaroni… Fresh Harvest is the name of the company. They\u2019re among the biggest recruiters of farm labor. He says, “And now we find out we don\u2019t have much of a labor force up here, at least a legal one.” So we\u2019ve had a guy who has admittedly now been accepting forged documents, has been participating in the hiring of illegals, has been facilitating it, has been making it possible. Things have so drastically changed that this guy has been forced out of the woodwork to admit what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

The reason is “there aren\u2019t enough new immigrants for the state\u2019s nearly half-million farm labor jobs — especially as Mexico creates competing manufacturing jobs in its own cities. He has calculated that the pool of potential immigrants from rural Mexico shrinks every year by about 150,000 people.” Now, it\u2019s worth it pointing out that the LA Times, even in this story, does not refer to them as “illegal” immigrants. They just talk about them as “immigrants.”<\/p>\n

\"\"For example, it says here, “He has calculated that the pool of potential immigrants from…” No, no. They\u2019re talking illegals here. That\u2019s what this story is all about. The illegal immigrant market is way down. They\u2019re not trying to get in. That means the farmers are having to pay higher prices for people that already live in the country, higher wages. It\u2019s a story about illegal immigration. Not immigration. But the LA Times doesn\u2019t put “illegal” anywhere in the story in front of the word “immigrant.”<\/p>\n

So my point is, even without legislation having been passed, all that\u2019s happened is a threat to build a wall and steps underway to do it — a constant promise to build the wall, to deport, to enforce existing law — and it\u2019s already working. There are many other things. Manufacturing jobs are on the uptick. We all know Wall Street\u2019s going gangbusters because they\u2019re expecting a major economic uptick with forthcoming Trump tax policy and so forth. The opportunity is golden! And oftentimes it doesn\u2019t even require hard government action to bring about a result, just a stated intent.<\/p>\n

And a stated intent that everybody believes. So for our caller, the reason he got on board the Trump train at the outset? Immigration. On that basis you would have to say Trump is succeeding with flying colors. But you heard him say that if he gets rid of Sessions, that\u2019s not gonna sit well out there with the Trumpists because Sessions was one of the early guys, and it\u2019s gonna make them question Trump\u2019s loyalty in all this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
