RUSH: So I just checked the email during the break. “Dear Mr. Limbaugh: The only reason we are having this day of news today, the only reason you are speaking about what you are speaking about today is because the (blanking) Republicans will not do what their party\u2019s president ran on doing. This is not Trump\u2019s fault. It is the elected Republicans\u2019 fault. Sent from my iPhone.” I suspect that that\u2019s a popular sentiment out there.<\/p>\n

Now, CNN is having the best time today. I\u2019ve been watching. They\u2019re over here in like — well, maybe like a 13-inch monitor over here to my right. It\u2019s like a 16-by-9 letterbox, everybody SqueeZoomed, like they all look short and fat. It\u2019s a perfect, perfect picture for CNN, of the guests too. But they\u2019re just having the best time because their graphic on the screen all the time is: “Trump base explodes over hints of ‘DREAMer\u2019 deal.”<\/p>\n

Meaning you are exploding out there. You people are near the end. You\u2019ve had as much as you can handle. And here is arguably what they\u2019re using to say that. It\u2019s Steve King, congressman from Ohio. He was on CNN today with Alisyn Camerota. This is very early this morning asking about Chuck and Nancy coming out saying they had a deal. And the question she asks, “What did you just hear, what\u2019d you hear the president say?”<\/p>\n
KING: Wanting a big or a large or a massive border security deal, that doesn\u2019t address domestic enforcement. If we don\u2019t build a wall all the way through then the rest of it is subject to prosecutorial discretion, his, as was under Barack Obama\u2019s, or the next president. So I think something\u2019s gonna have to be reversed here with this president\u2019s policy or it\u2019ll just blow up his base. I mean, this was a straight-up promise all the way through his campaign. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s unclear to anybody what those campaign promises were, but it looks to me like he\u2019s preparing to keep Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign promise rather than his own.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Congressman King at this point in time in the morning believed what Chuck and Nancy were saying, that Trump had a agreed to a deal on the DREAMers and had gotten nothing on getting rid of the wall for it, and the wall was not part of the deal.<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t the only one. David “Rodham” Gergen, who is the definition of Washington conventional wisdom. You ever want to know what consensus and groupthink and conventional wisdom in Washington is, just find what David “Rodham” Gergen is saying and you\u2019ll find out what 99% of \u2019em are thinking. And he was on CNN last night, after Chuck and Nancy came out after dinner and started chortling about how they rolled Trump and they got what they wanted and no wall and so forth. Here\u2019s what Gergen said.<\/p>\n
Gergen: I think there will be a lot of Republicans look at this and say, this guy may cut a deal, but he gets rolled in the deal. I mean, he gave up the wall and he gave up DACA, and what does he get back in return? We don\u2019t know yet, but I can\u2019t tell you it\u2019s gonna be very much. It\u2019s gonna be some more enforcement, Obama did that. That\u2019s not a big deal. So on the deal itself he got rolled, and I think there gonna be a lot of conservatives who are gonna be reacting very angrily.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And they were, \u2019cause that\u2019s what they were treated to. Chuck and Nancy come out last night, “Ha-ha, Trump gave us the DREAMers, and they say there\u2019s no wall.” “We told him he could take his wall and put it where the sun don\u2019t shine. He agreed!” Then AP runs their story, so Steve King, “This is not what he said he was gonna do. This is Hillary Clinton\u2019s promise.” Gergen comes out there, said, “He got rolled.”<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s what everybody woke up to. Me, too. But since the Drive-Bys are involved, I\u2019m sorry, folks, I just never, ever do I accept anything, I don\u2019t care what. If it\u2019s football, if it\u2019s the space program, if it\u2019s anything, I automatically do not believe it. Not everything. I mean, I don\u2019t care what they write about local issues and all that. But I\u2019m talking about this kind of stuff, national issues of great importance. I do not believe.<\/p>\n
New York Times, Washington Post, AP, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC. And they\u2019re all the same thing. If you miss one of those, doesn\u2019t matter. You miss ABC, watch NBC. It\u2019ll be the same thing. If you miss the Washington Post, go the New York Times. Be the same thing.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: No, no, no, no. I\u2019m not saying Trump voters are a cult at all. I\u2019m saying the attitude of implicit trust, people don\u2019t trust politicians like that, and yet a lot of people will profess blanket trust of Trump. Inside the Beltway, that\u2019s foreign behavior. They don\u2019t understand that. I mean, they had that kind of faith in Obama and they had that kind of faith in Bill Clinton, but people having it in Trump, since they think Trump is a bumpkin to begin with, that anybody who has blind faith in Trump\u2019s got to be an even bigger bumpkin.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m not the one calling Trumpists the equivalent of a cult. The Drive-Bys, some of them do, as a means of not having to deal with you seriously. There\u2019s also something else. It\u2019s not a big deal, but it\u2019s quite noticeable and obvious to me, and it\u2019s a little hypocritical, and it\u2019s a little contradictory. Here we have all of these Republicans in the House and the Senate — not all, but I mean a majority who, for seven years, ran on repealing and replacing Obamacare. They promised, seven years.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/GOPEstablishment.jpg\")
When it was time to reelect, time to campaign, promised. They promised to get rid of it. They even passed legislation. They voted in the House and Senate for legislation to repeal Obamacare, and it got sent the to the White House. Obama vetoed it. They knew he would veto it, but they passed it. They passed it a multiple times, more than three times. And they sent it up to Obama, and it got vetoed.<\/p>\n
Now they run the House and they run the Senate, and they can\u2019t come up with a bill. Isn\u2019t it amazing? They can\u2019t come up with a bill. After seven years of promising, after seven years of actually succeeding in writing bills, now they can\u2019t come up with one. So they haven\u2019t kept that promise. They\u2019ve had opportunity upon opportunity upon opportunity. They\u2019ve had all kinds of opportunities since January 21st to keep that promise. And now they don\u2019t want to be held accountable on that. They\u2019re very defensive when you point all this out to them.<\/p>\n
But a mere suggestion in the Drive-By Media fed by a couple of Democrat hacks that Trump\u2019s not gonna build a wall, and those same people go into hysterics and start experiencing outrage that Trump is breaking a promise. And I find it a little curious. They fall for a story that makes it look like Trump is going to break a promise or has broken a promise, and they\u2019re outraged. That\u2019s the end of Trump. Why, that\u2019s the end of Trump\u2019s base.<\/p>\n
And yet they, seven times, all these promises to repeal and replace Obamacare, and they don\u2019t expect to be held accountable to it. It\u2019s typical of inside-the-Beltway or swamp behavior. In other words, Trump has no latitude and no leeway. And apparently there are not a whole lot of people there that have confidence. They are willing, apparently, to believe that Trump\u2019s been lying to \u2019em all along, while, if you want to characterize it this way, how many years have they been lying to voters about their intentions on repealing and replacing Obamacare?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
