KEITH BOYKIN: … Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka and Steve Miller in the White House. Those people are racist.<\/p>\n

FERNAND AMANDI: Why are the three Nazis in the White House, Steve Bannon, Gorka and Miller — whose jobs are funded by the taxpayers…? Why they still working today?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Look, you idiots… I\u2019ll name you names here in a minute. You idiots, if you really want Bannon gone, you\u2019ve got to shut up. You keep talking like this and they\u2019re never gonna get rid of these people. They\u2019re never gonna throw them out. They\u2019ve learned the lesson. They can\u2019t throw you a bone. You\u2019re like a rabid dog that can\u2019t be treated! You people just learn to shut up. (That won\u2019t happen.)<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Orlando, Florida, next. Courtney, welcome.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, how are you? It\u2019s a pleasure to speak to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I was actually introduced to you by my grandfather, Pat Sullivan, when you had your TV show around the time of the Columbine shooting, and I\u2019ve been a listener ever since.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. Thank you very much, and him.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Yes. A World War II veteran. Okay. So I\u2019m calling about Trump\u2019s true level of support versus the poll numbers and the media\u2019s representation of his support. I was an avid Clinton supporter, borderline Never Trump. In the end, I did vote for him. But as this continues on with like the Russia story and, oh, the media attacks, I have become more and more loyal to him, and I am supporting him more now than I ever did.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, Courtney, I don\u2019t mean to be rude, but your phone connection is really bad, and I was patient there hoping it would clear up, but I think people are having trouble understanding what you\u2019re saying. It\u2019s not your fault. It\u2019s just a bad cell connection, but here\u2019s her point, folks. She started out her father got her started on the program, she\u2019s forever, eternally grateful to her father who was a World War II vet. And she said she was not inclined to vote for Trump. She was not an original Trumpster.<\/p>\n
She reluctantly voted for him because of extraneous reasons. But she is now becoming more and more defensive and supportive of Trump as these never-ending attacks and assaults on him continue. And she mentioned the Russia allegation and now this stuff. And I think that\u2019s happening all over this country. And you\u2019ll never see it reported because the media\u2019s not even considering it. <\/p>\n
Remember, now, the arrogance of these people. They think they are succeeding in driving a wedge between Trump voters and Trump, which is their objective. The key to getting rid of Trump, they think, is succeeding in driving Trump supporters away from him. Have you ever seen, ladies and gentlemen, you ever seen such a focus on White House staff? From the moment Steve Bannon was named chief strategist, the media has been trying to get Trump to fire him. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just Steve Bannon today. We had sound bites earlier, now they\u2019re trying to get rid of Sebastian Gorka who is on the National Security Council team. Trump loves Gorka because he loves the way Gorka defends him on TV. Gorka is good. And now they\u2019re going after Stephen Miller, who they\u2019re calling an anti-Semite and a racist! Stephen Miller is Jewish. He happens to be one of the top-tier Trump policy people, and he\u2019s exceptionally bright and good. <\/p>\n
Do you ever remember the media going after Clinton or Obama: “You gotta get rid of X. You gotta get rid of these staffers.” They won\u2019t let go. They are telling Trump they\u2019ve gotta get rid of these people \u2019cause they\u2019re Alt-Right, racist, white nationalists. The longer they persist in telling Trump to do it, common sense would tell me the less inclined Trump would be to do it, especially after yesterday. When the media\u2019s clamoring for Trump to make a second statement because he didn\u2019t specifically mention the Nazis and the white supremacists. When he made his first statement of condemnation he blamed all sides. <\/p>\n
That wasn\u2019t good enough for \u2019em. So he came out yesterday and I specifically mentioned the Nazis and the white supremacists. We all knew how it was gonna happen here. The media then said: “Not good enough. You don\u2019t really mean it. You\u2019re only doing it because we pressured you to do it.” It\u2019s like David Koch in New York gave a New York Hospital a $25 million donation, and the nurses union told the hospital not to take it because he didn\u2019t really mean it. He was just giving the money to try to cover up his racism and bigotry. <\/p>\n
Well, it\u2019s the same thing here. “You don\u2019t mean it, Trump. You don\u2019t really. You\u2019re not really condemning Nazis because they\u2019re your support group. You\u2019re not really condemning the Alt-Right because that\u2019s your support group. You\u2019re not gonna condemn the white nationalists because that\u2019s your support group.” That\u2019s what they actually think they\u2019re trying to make people believe. <\/p>\n
Now they keep harping on getting rid of Bannon, getting Stephen Miller now, Sebastian Gorka. There\u2019s no way Trump can do it with this kind of media pressure. And he may want to, for all I know. Somebody in there is leaking. Somebody in that White House is leaking big time. Somebody\u2019s leaking for their own personal benefit in there. My guess is they know who it is now. And my guess is there are a lot of people in there on thin ice. <\/p>\n
But anyway, it is frenzied irrationality. And they want Trump to do things that will allow them to say, “See? Trump is a white nationalist. See? Trump is a Nazi semper fi.” That\u2019s what they\u2019re dying to report, folks. And they\u2019re trying to manipulate events in such a way that will permit them to do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
