RUSH: There hasn\u2019t been a cave yet, but it looks like there might be. I want to take you back, folks. I warned everybody about the possibility of this. None of this catches me off guard or by surprise. We\u2019re gonna go back to March 27th on this program<\/a>. Listen…<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH ARCHIVE: Who are we talking about? We\u2019re talking about the people that are trying to criminalize Donald Trump. We\u2019re talking about the people that are trying to impeach him. We\u2019re talking about people who are trying to via innuendo and leak and media assassination, we\u2019re dealing with people that are trying to destroy Donald Trump and his press secretary just signaled that they are serious about reaching out to these people to try to get certain things done, legislatively, like infrastructure or tax reform. I can\u2019t see the Democrats working with Trump on tax reform unless the rich get soaked. The thing about this that should be worrisome is that if this alliance happens, if they\u2019re not bluffing, if they\u2019re serious, and if my scenario gets close, it\u2019s not gonna be the Democrats adopting Trump\u2019s agenda. It\u2019s gonna be the other way around.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was back on March 27th. You don\u2019t have to go that far back — March — and Trump was already getting frustrated with the fact that Mitch and Paul were stonewalling him. He\u2019s already talking about working with the Democrats, Chuck and Nancy, back in March. As I said: If he does that, it\u2019s gonna be Chuck and Nancy\u2019s agenda and not his. So the concern that people have here, I can understand it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This update comes from the U.K. Daily Mail. Trump gets off the plane on the tarmac in Florida and he “says he expects funding for his border wall to pass when he\u2019s ready for it or Republicans will become the obstructionists in Congress. ‘Ultimately, we have to have the wall. If we don\u2019t have the wall, we\u2019re doing nothing,\u2019 Trump [told] reporters from the tarmac when he landed in Florida for a briefing on Hurricane Irma [Friday] morning. The president also denied that he was giving ‘amnesty\u2019 to illegal immigrants as part of an agreement he\u2019s working on with [Chuck and Nancy].<\/p>\n

“‘We\u2019re not looking at citizenship. We\u2019re not looking at amnesty. We\u2019re looking at allowing people to stay here. We\u2019re working with everybody, Republican, we\u2019re working with Democrat,\u2019 Trump stated.” But “[w]e\u2019re not looking at citizenship.” Look, folks, everybody knows we\u2019re not gonna kick these DREAMers out of the country. I know that a lot of people think that we should have no mercy here on… “Mercy” is the wrong word. That, if we\u2019re gonna have border security, we\u2019re gonna have border security. If you\u2019re illegal and you\u2019re here illegally, you gotta go back and try to get in legally. I understand that.<\/p>\n

\"\"But the reality here is, these are people that campaign for votes, and nobody wants to be associated with pictures that would certainly exist, even if they were fake, and they most likely would be. You know, can you imagine 150 pictures of that federal agent storming the home in Florida to kidnap Elian Gonzalez and send him back to Cuba? You remember that? A lot of people thought that agent should have shut up and Janet Napolitano should have left that kid there, instead of sending him back to a communist country.<\/p>\n

What are we doing, sending that kid back? Can you remember that reaction? Imagine if you see picture after picture — video — of that with a bunch of kids. Fully armed, body armored federal agents grabbing five-year-olds and 15-year-olds and throw \u2019em in a paddy wagon and driving them to the airport and put on a C-130 for parts unknown? Nobody wants to be associated with that. The way to do this… The way to do this I suggested the other day. If you\u2019re going to allow them to stay, if you\u2019re gonna make this exception, you get the funding for the wall in it or there\u2019s no deal.<\/p>\n

And now you add something else: These people being allowed to stay can\u2019t register to vote for 15 or 20 years, whatever. Take the incentive away from Democrats to want — and the Republicans, too, \u2019cause they want \u2019em for different reasons. They want \u2019em for cheap labor. Democrats want \u2019em for voters. Well, Republicans would like that too. But you put in the proviso. We can do what we want here, right? Chuck and Nancy are not running this show! They better not be running it. That was my point that I made in the sound bite that I played for you. This is not Chuck and Nancy\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

\"\"Chuck and Nancy\u2019s party lost. Chuck and Nancy\u2019s party haven\u2019t won an election that counts other than Obama\u2019s presidency in 2008 and 2012. Every other election the Democrats have been running with national House\/Senate racers, they\u2019re losing. There\u2019s no way they get to run this show. But remember, the media is desperate to split Trump\u2019s supporters away from them. They are desperate. That\u2019s the only… We had the story yesterday. The Politico, they tried<\/a>. It\u2019s not working. They don\u2019t understand it, and even the Democrat agenda, free tuition, is not working.<\/p>\n

You know why that\u2019s not working? A lot of people think, “Whoa, that\u2019d be a magnet! I can see where any liberal would support that.” Well, the problem is that there\u2019s a lot of Democrats with student debt, college loan debt. There\u2019s a lot of parents who were not told their tuition is gonna be free. So now all of a sudde,n how do you grandfather that? How do you go back and tell people that have massive student loan debt, “Hey, guess what? People going to college are gonna get free tuition and are not gonna have student loans?”<\/p>\n

“What about me? Will you get rid of me debt?”<\/p>\n

“We can\u2019t do that! We don\u2019t have the money.”<\/p>\n

Anyway, it\u2019s not supported. So the Democrats do not have their key agenda items do not have massive public support, and their attempts to destroy Trump have failed. All of them. So all they can do now — the only thing they\u2019ve got — is to split Trump\u2019s base away from Trump and that\u2019s what all of this today is. Every bit of that is splitting Trump from his base. They want you to think Trump has sold you out and thrown you under the business. They want you to think that Trump has given away his mandate in exchange for doing deals. They want you to believe that Trump loves deals; he loves action.<\/p>\n

And he\u2019s been frustrated because the Republicans won\u2019t do anything, so he\u2019s going over to the Democrat side, and he\u2019s doing deals — and in order to do that, the Democrats are running the show. The media wants you to believe that Trump is acquiescing to the Democrat agenda just so he can do deals and just so there can be something done. Now, the White House has been as clear as they can be today that there is not an agreement on the wall, and Chuck and Nancy had to tweet that that\u2019s correct. So they are the ones backtracking today, not Trump and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.<\/p>\n

But the very fact that this has been reported with all of this energy, you go back to the point: The first thing, the first element of a story that people hear, they believe it. Whether it\u2019s right or wrong. So this is going to have a lasting impact. Now, as I say, there\u2019s some updates. Trump said if we don\u2019t… This is on the tarmac in Florida. After all this brouhaha Washington, he lands in Florida” If we don\u2019t have the wall, we are doing nothing.” Trump says there will eventually be a border wall and there won\u2019t be amnesty for DREAMers. But they\u2019re going to allowed to stay. People say, “W-w-well, wait a minute, now.<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re letting \u2019em stay, how is that not amnesty?” Well, they\u2019re not gonna be made automatic citizens. Fine. Okay. If that\u2019s true, then they can\u2019t vote, either — and for those of you shouting at me, “Rush, we\u2019re talking about children,” not all of them are children anymore. We\u2019re talking about 800,000 people. Again, Trump reiterated that he expects funding for the border wall to pass when he\u2019s ready for it. “Ultimately, we have to have the wall. If we don\u2019t have the wall, we are doing nothing.” Now, that\u2019s the latest. This is the AllenBWest.com website.<\/p>\n

“Trump White House Issues Major Clarification in DREAMer Deal,<\/a>” and there\u2019s a pull quote from the story: “Schumer\u2019s communications director tweeted in response to the denial by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, saying, ‘The president made clear he would continue pushing the wall just not as part of this agreement.'” So Chuck and Nancy are backtracking a little bit here. But look, they know what they\u2019re doing. They got their first message out that Trump caved, Trump says the wall\u2019s off the table. Trump\u2019s gonna do this later; we\u2019re gonna have amnesty.<\/p>\n

\"\"That\u2019s out there, that\u2019s what people think now. And it\u2019s gonna take a lot of repetition to correct them, and plus the first impression is always made. I mean, the first imprint, it\u2019s almost impossible to reverse it. Audio sound bite number 2. This is another flashback. January 3rd<\/a>, CNN, Jake Tapper had Chuck — Chuck You Schumer — on the program about Dana Bash, who said, “You expected to be the Senate majority leader working with President Hillary Clinton.” By the way, have you seen…? Have you seen this inane support from CNN extolling Hillary Clinton\u2019s breathing talents; that she has this unique ability to breathe through one nostril at a time? It\u2019s obviously she\u2019s got some problems. She\u2019s sitting there going (sniffling and coughing).<\/p>\n

You know, Hillary\u2019s not healthy. Leave it at that. So to cover, “She\u2019s so much smarter than the rest of us! She\u2019s so much more talented that happen the rest. She has perfected one-nostril breathing!” Serious. Anyway, Dana Bash says, “You expected to be the majority leader working with Hillary Clinton. Now you find yourself the leader of the opposition and Trump\u2019s in the White House.” Remember, this is January 3rd. This before Trump\u2019s been inaugurated. “How will you walk that fine line between when to work with Trump and when not to?”<\/p>\n

SCHUMER: The only way we\u2019re gonna work with him is if he moves completely in our direction and abandons his Republican colleagues.<\/p>\n

RUSH: January 3rd, before Trump\u2019s even inaugurated. I remember him saying this. That\u2019s why it\u2019s on the sound bite roster. “The only way we\u2019re gonna work with him…” It\u2019s exactly what I said back in March, 2-1\/2 months after Chuck You said this. Now, here\u2019s Chuck You. This is after the denial by Sarah Huckabee Sanders and after Trump clarified, “No, no, no, no! There\u2019s no deal here and the wall\u2019s not gone.” Here is Chuck You Schumer on the floor of the United States Senate…<\/p>\n

SCHUMER: We all agreed on the framework: Pass DACA protections and additional border security measures excluding the wall. We agreed that the president would support enshrining the DACA protections into law. What remains to be negotiated are the details of border security with a mutual goal of finalizing all the details as soon as possible. While both sides agreed that the wall would not be any part of this agreement, the president made clear he intends to pursue it at a later time, and we made clear that we would continue to oppose it. If you listen to the president\u2019s comments this morning, Director Mulvaney\u2019s comments this morning, it is clear that what Leader Pelosi and I put out last night was exactly accurate. We\u2019re not for the wall! We\u2019ll never be for the wall.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but what you put out\u2019s not “exactly accurate.” We\u2019ve got Mulvaney here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So Chuck You Schumer, in a statement on the floor of the Senate, “We all agreed on a framework, pass DACA protections, additional border security measures, excluding the wall. We agreed the president would support enshrining DACA protection into law. What remains to be negotiated…” He kind of said that (fast): “What remains to be negotiated” he just glossed over that “are the details of border security with a mutual goal of finalizing as soon as possible.” They didn\u2019t finalize anything, folks, and Chuck You confirms it on the floor of the Senate.<\/p>\n

“What remains to be negotiated…”<\/p>\n

“While both sides agreed the wall would not be any part of this agreement, the president made clear he intends to pursue it at a later time.” We hate it; we\u2019re not gonna be support it, ever. The president wants it, and then he said, “Mulvaney\u2019s comments this morning… If you listen to the president\u2019s and Mulvaney\u2019s comments, it\u2019s clear that what Nancy and I put out last night was accurate.” Okay. Here is Mulvaney\u2019s on Squawk Box at CNBC. And the question: “People are calling him ‘Amnesty Don\u2019 this morning. Does the reaction of the political base here affect what\u2019s gonna happen in the White House? Did we get close to a deal and now we\u2019re pulling away because of that?”<\/p>\n
