We need more of this. This was awesome.&#8221; And CNN is similarly disposed in covering it. We have a couple sound bites from it, and I want to get them out there now. We\u2019ll go back to other things here.<\/p>\n<p>What is crucial about this is the Drive-Bys are out saying that Tillerson\u2019s gonna get fired, Kelly is gonna quit, everybody hates Trump, Trump\u2019s out of control, Trump\u2019s losing his mind, Trump\u2019s wandering the White House in his underwear cursing photos of previous presidents and asking why did it happen to me, and he says none of this is true. You people are making it up.<\/p>\n<p>And he went in there to tell \u2019em he\u2019s not quitting and he\u2019s not getting fired and very little of what\u2019s being said about the White House right now has any validity to it. Hear it in his own words. Two bites, here\u2019s the first one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-250662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/650-101217-John-Kelly.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/650-101217-John-Kelly.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/650-101217-John-Kelly-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>KELLY: Although I read it all the time pretty consistently, I\u2019m not quitting today. I don\u2019t believe, and I just talked to the president, I don\u2019t think I\u2019m being fired today, and I\u2019m not so frustrated in this job that I\u2019m thinking of leaving. I will tell you this is the hardest job I\u2019ve ever had. This is in my view the most important job I ever had. I would offer though it is not the best job I ever had. Best job I ever had, as I said many times, is when I was an enlisted Marine sergeant infantryman. So unless things change, I\u2019m not quitting, I\u2019m not getting fired, and I don\u2019t think they\u2019ll fire anyone tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Then he says it\u2019s hard to run the government, quickly says that he\u2019s not running it, and let me see if this bite &#8212; this bite doesn\u2019t have it, but one of the things Kelly said, the biggest problem that the president has is with you in this room. And he went on to elaborate what he means. But before that, he said this.<\/p>\n<p>KELLY: No, I\u2019m not frustrated. This is really, really hard work, running the United States of America. I don\u2019t run it, but I\u2019m working for someone who is dedicated to serving the country in the way that he\u2019s talked about for a number of years. There are incredible challenges, you know, economic challenges, health care challenges, all of that, obviously international challenges, that have to be dealt with.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And he went on to say that &#8212; and there was no question asked, he just continued to speak. And he said (paraphrasing), &#8220;Frankly, the biggest problem president has is you.&#8221; He looked out at the press corps, &#8220;It\u2019s in this room.&#8221; He said from the standpoint of &#8220;you all need better sources because what you\u2019re writing isn\u2019t true. You need to change the sourcing you\u2019re using, the leaks or whatever.&#8221; Now, these are my words. I\u2019m paraphrasing what I heard and I had to listen fast during the last break when he was making these comments.<\/p>\n<p>But it was an unscheduled appearance in pressroom during the press briefing, and I\u2019m sure it was inspired by all of this nonsense about the 25th Amendment and Trump isolated in the White House, going crazy, on the verge of being unfit, mentally unfit, all this stuff is gaining traction out there. Unfortunately, by the way, if I might add, the Never Trumpers are so eager to get rid of this guy that they took my comments yesterday as canary in the coal mine comments, and they wanted to make it look like I was splitting from Trump, which would be a big split, the Trump base leaving him. That\u2019s something they have been desperately hoping to see, and they thought that\u2019s what I had said when of course I didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: What is crucial about this is the Drive-Bys are out saying that Tillerson&#039;s gonna get fired, Kelly is gonna quit, everybody hates Trump, Trump&#039;s out of control, Trump&#039;s losing his mind, Trump&#039;s wandering the White House in his underwear cursing photos of previous presidents and asking why did it happen to me, and he says none of this is true.
