RUSH: This is Sean in Philadelphia. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Glad you\u2019re back from vacation. I think it\u2019s actually perfect timing. I\u2019m afraid that this Bannon book stuff is a distraction. I think that the GOP and maybe even Trump want it to be a distraction because I\u2019m afraid that they\u2019re gonna cave on immigration. Because, to me, that\u2019s the most important point right now, and I\u2019m afraid they\u2019re gonna try to cave on immigration like they did with Obamacare.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a question.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think Trump just wants to sign something.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Hang on here. Hang on a second here. I\u2019m very sympathetic to your point of view here. In fact, before I left, sometime about a week or so before, we had a caller who wanted my prediction where the Republican or Democrat Party is gonna be in 30 years. And I said, “There\u2019s no way to know. I mean, that\u2019s like asking me what the global temperature is gonna be next week. I can\u2019t tell you.” But I said, “The biggest problem — the biggest problem, the biggest threat this nation faces — is ongoing illegal immigration.”<\/p>\n

Because that is going to be what undermines and destroys our culture, our identity, that binds us all together. If there is no assimilation… And that is why Trump was elected. Trump was elected primarily for his insistence that this was gonna stop, that he was gonna build a wall to stop it, and that only people that love this country are gonna get in and the people that got in were gonna become Americans. Now, you know, I had dinner last week with an NFL owner. Get this, now. I\u2019m not gonna name. It doesn\u2019t matter who. And this guy is thanking me for everything I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n

\"\"Don\u2019t go away, Sean. This is all part of your call.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And this NFL owner says, “Thank you for what you\u2019re doing for America.” I said, “Well… (stammering).” I was kind of floored by it. I hadn\u2019t expected that. And so, anyway, we began talking about the NFL and things, and the point is we got on to immigration, and I made this point to him: “This is what we face. The biggest threat that we face as a country is illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve got to get a handle on it because the people coming in are not assimilating. They don\u2019t want to assimilate and so we\u2019re losing our culture. We\u2019re losing that which makes us America.” And then I said to him, “Do you know that from 1921 and 1965 we shut down legal immigration?” And he had no idea. And virtually everybody I say that doesn\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n

Everybody I tell that we had 40 years, almost 45 years, of no legal immigration, they don\u2019t believe it. And it\u2019s understandable. The media never reports it. The media treats immigration as a God-given right to every immigrant. That anybody who wants to come in here should damn well be let in here and end of story.<\/p>\n

He said, “Why?”<\/p>\n

I said, “So that all the immigrants who had come from the late 1800s up to 1920 could be assimilated.” They had to be taught English. They arrived wanting to become Americans, and it took time for that to happen. So they had to learn English. Many of them lived in neighborhoods where they were all together, but they became Americans. It\u2019s why they came. It was a large number of people and in order to maintain control of our culture and country we shut down immigration for 40 years. It was Ted Kennedy in 1965 who revived it. It\u2019s amazing to me how many people don\u2019t know this that are stunned when they hear it.<\/p>\n

And the only reason the NFL owner — these people are billionaires, you\u2019d think they know everything. And it\u2019s just amazing how many don\u2019t. Sean, hang on, because I\u2019ve got a question for you. I mean, this has come out of the blue. Here we are talking about everything but illegal immigration, and he thinks that\u2019s why. And I want to know what he knows that we haven\u2019t heard yet. So don\u2019t go away, Sean.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re back to the very patient Sean in Philadelphia. So out of the blue, I mean, we\u2019ve got every other story occupying space today, not illegal immigration. What makes you think Trump\u2019s on the verge of caving to — I mean, you think we\u2019re gonna get amnesty? Is that what you mean?<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I think we\u2019re gonna get amnesty, and I think we\u2019re not gonna get what we need to fix immigration. This is probably the only shot we\u2019re gonna have, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Now, what has happened here to make you think this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: What he did with Obamacare. You know, he agreed — he let the swamp tell him, “Oh, this bill\u2019s a repeal and replace.” And as you rightly pointed out earlier, it wasn\u2019t a repeal at all. If anything, it enshrined government health care. And I\u2019m afraid he wants — just like your anecdote said before, he told you he was so surprised that people didn\u2019t warm up to him because, you know, he didn\u2019t realize the other half of the country would always hate him, I think he wants to be liked. And I think, you know, who\u2019s in the room talking for us now? They\u2019re in negotiating right now. It\u2019s gonna be McConnell and Ryan and you and I both know they like illegal immigration —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, wait, wait, wait. See, that\u2019s what I was getting at. Why were you calling today of all days about illegal immigration when there\u2019s not a single story about it anywhere in the news cycle?<\/p>\n

CALLER: On Breitbart there\u2019s a story where it talks about — it shows some of his tweets on immigration, reminding that, hey, this is coming up soon, this immigration battle. And I started looking at these tweets, and I noticed that he\u2019s being particular, and he\u2019s usually not particular about his words in his tweets, but he\u2019s like, “Oh, yeah, we\u2019re definitely gonna get a wall out of this.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, the devil\u2019s in the details.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They might give \u2019em like five miles of wall and call it good.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay now, hang on. There\u2019s a reason, folks. Nothing randomly happens. We take calls randomly, nothing is staged. But there\u2019s a reason that I have been discussing all this with Sean the way I have. I mean here we\u2019re talking about everything about illegal immigration today, we get a call from a guy who thinks all of this that\u2019s happening today is a giant distraction so that they can do comprehensive immigration reform while nobody\u2019s looking.<\/p>\n

\"\"And I just happen to have a sound bite here. And Sean\u2019s call is the transition to it. And it\u2019s from this morning. And it\u2019s at the White House. Trump held a meeting with Republican members of the Senate about immigration reform. And we are going to hear on this bite Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty. Here we go.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Lindsey used to be a great enemy of mine. Now he\u2019s a great friend of mine. I really like Lindsey. Can you believe it? I never thought I\u2019d say that, but I do like him a lot.<\/p>\n

GRAHAM: Thank you. I like you, too. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: So we have something in common already. We all know that.<\/p>\n

GRAHAM: Obama couldn\u2019t do it. Bush couldn\u2019t do it. I think you can do it. There\u2019s a deal to be had. If you want it bad enough, we\u2019ll get it and it will be good for the country. Everybody\u2019s gotta give a little bit, but I\u2019ve never been more optimistic about an immigration reform proposal making it to the president\u2019s desk than I am right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have this sound bite here, it\u2019s in the roster, it\u2019s number 43 on the roster, now all of a sudden Sean calls, I said, whoa, this was meant to be. So there you go. It\u2019s taken 20 minutes but I just wanted to confirm your instincts. You\u2019re exactly right. Lindsey Graham is saying we\u2019re closer than ever to comprehensive immigration reform than he\u2019s ever seen it.<\/p>\n

And just so everybody knows, Lindsey Grahamnesty is an amnesty guy. He he was a partner of Senator McCain\u2019s in that effort, he\u2019s been close to Chuck You Schumer. Now, I don\u2019t know the details in the legislation they\u2019re all talking about here, yet, but in the past, comprehensive immigration reform has always meant amnesty, right, Sean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. Always.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why do you think Trump would sell out his voters this way? Are you a Trump supporter? Did you vote for Trump?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I voted for Trump.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Okay, why do you think he would sell \u2019em out this way? This is the exact opposite thing he promised if they\u2019re talking amnesty, we don\u2019t know. We\u2019re just assuming \u2019cause we hear the words “comprehensive immigration reform” in the past, that\u2019s always meant amnesty, folks. That\u2019s Washington-speak for amnesty. Why would Trump sell everybody out this way?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The reason is because what he did with Obamacare. Now that established a pattern. He willingly was telling everyone, “Hey, it\u2019s a repeal.” No, it\u2019s not. Everyone knew it wasn\u2019t a repeal. And I\u2019m afraid he\u2019s gonna do the same thing here. “Hey, I got a border wall.” And no one in the media except for you will be pointing out, no, that\u2019s actually not what you promised. They only got 10 miles of wall. Well, we didn\u2019t get E-Verify where they promised they\u2019ll do this next year. You know, we have to do it now, whatever we get, you know, it\u2019s gonna be gotten now or we\u2019re never gonna get it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you think the excerpt from the Wolff book<\/a> and all the attention being paid to it is serving as a distraction while they do this behind the scenes?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think they\u2019re gonna use it as a distraction. I don\u2019t think that, you know, they contrived —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right, right, right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — that everybody contrived to do it, but I think they\u2019re gonna use it. I think Trump will use it. You know, if he\u2019s gonna cave like he tried to cave with Obamacare, I think he\u2019ll just keep beating the drum —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what — the only disagreement I have with you here, and I\u2019ve gotta go \u2019cause I\u2019m out of time — I don\u2019t think caving on Obamacare was what was happening. I think it was something entirely different. That\u2019s the first three months, the first two months. There was a whole different dynamic going on. I understand your concern, and my explanation may not salve you at all.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. We have to take the top-of-the-hour break. We come back, just hang in there, folks. I\u2019m gonna try to walk Sean back from the ledge, our last caller from Philadelphia. I don\u2019t think a sellout of immigration is what\u2019s actually going on here. I\u2019ll explain it, what I think is going on — I\u2019m pretty sure — when we get back.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s going on with this immigration business today is what to do about the DREAMers. It\u2019s all about DACA who, by the way, are these young children. You know, they melt your heart. These are the young children that were brought here. These kids — have you seen the story — half of them are illiterate? Can\u2019t speak. Can\u2019t write. They\u2019re not assimilating, the majority of them are not assimilating. Anyway, what is happening here… Remember our previous caller thinks that Trump is on the verge of agreeing to comprehensive immigration reform, which would be a sellout of his campaign assurances and promises.<\/p>\n

I asked the caller why. “Well, he was gonna sell us out on the repeal and replace of Obamacare.” He said, “As you correctly pointed out, there wasn\u2019t any repeal of Obamacare in the original bill.” And I said to him there was a different dynamic then. That was what? That was March. Trump\u2019s inaugurated in January. I was up there. It was March 23rd when the actual first — well, the actual final vote on this took place. Of course, it went down in flames. That was a different time than right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"It was different even than last month when the tax reform bill was passed. And this is not an excuse for Trump. But our caller… It sounded to me like the caller thinks that Trump was purposely betraying a promise to repeal Obamacare from the campaign. And I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what was going on. I think that Trump was hell-bent, he was desirous to set a record to getting major legislation passed sooner than anybody ever had. I think that was the objective. At the time, I don\u2019t think he had a full-fledged understanding of how cooperation, legislation from Capitol Hill to the White House worked.<\/p>\n

He was still in training wheels in terms of understanding how the swamp works. And I think he also believed that he was gonna have much more support from his party than he had. I think he was surprised that the Republicans on Capitol Hill were so recalcitrant to working with him. We now know why, by the way. Let\u2019s not forget this. We have learned shortly before the end of the year that for most of last year elected Republicans thought Trump had colluded with Russia and thought he was not gonna make it.<\/p>\n

They really thought there was something to that story. When I learned that, I was beside myself. But they believed it. It was in the New York Times. The New York Times is the bible. Our guys, despite their awareness of the unfairness of the media, still can\u2019t comprehend that something like that would be totally made up. Whereas you and I think that the mainstream media makes it up every day, they don\u2019t. They believed! Folks, I think one of the primary reasons — and there are many reasons.<\/p>\n

One of the primary reasons there wasn\u2019t any cooperation by Republicans in the House and Senate with Trump early on was they thought he wasn\u2019t gonna make it. They thought he was gonna get impeached, thought he had cheated. They believed the Russian collusion story. Enough of them did. Not all of them, of course, but enough of them did. And I think that one of the reasons toward the end of the year that they joined forces and worked with Trump on tax reform is they finally came to realize that this story\u2019s a hoax.<\/p>\n

I think their confidence level went up. Look, there are many elements to this too. That\u2019s not the sole reason why they decided to start cooperating. The legislation itself is distinctly conservative and Republican. I mean, it\u2019s tax reform. It\u2019s difficult for Republicans not to support that. But there were some of them who didn\u2019t want to simply because Trump was behind it. So you go back to March, and I don\u2019t think Trump was trying to sell anybody out. I think Trump was under the impression that what he was getting was good. The bill was called “repeal and replace.”<\/p>\n

He was up there. I personally watched him convert 15 or 16 “no” votes to 15 “yes” votes in a room off the Oval Office. It just happened to coincide with our arrival, 5 o\u2019clock in the afternoon on the 23rd of March. At dinner that night, as I mentioned, it was the sole thing going on. People were coming in and out of the room, reporting to him what was going on on Capitol Hill. At that point, I think it was about getting it done. I realize this is not a sterling defense, I mean, \u2019cause I\u2019m essentially saying here that the president wasn\u2019t fully aware what\u2019s in it.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think he knew and was selling anybody out. Likewise, I don\u2019t think what\u2019s going on now with these negotiations on the budget and DACA is toward selling out Trump\u2019s voters on comprehensive immigration reform. If you read The Politico today, you find out what\u2019s really going on here, because they\u2019re trying a lot of things here. They\u2019re trying to do a budget and handle what to do about the DREAMers, the DACA group, the young kids.<\/p>\n

And the negotiators on the Republican side are expressing frustration because they can\u2019t get specifics from Trump on what he wants in terms of the major immigration bill. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s much of a mystery to figure out what\u2019s going on here. I think we\u2019re in the midst… Remember, Trump\u2019s on a high now. Trump is on a roll. Forget the Wolff book. We\u2019re on the heels of this major comprehensive tax reform bill having passed. This is a huge… Trump is on a huge upper. Trump is riding the wave right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"Forget this Wolff book and the excerpts and that stuff. He\u2019s riding the wave. Last week was a great week for Trump at Mar-a-Lago. He\u2019s basking in the glory of it. I mean, this is a major, major achievement, a significant thing. He\u2019s riding the wave on this. He\u2019s occupying a position of strength, in his mind. He\u2019s exhibiting a tremendous amount of confidence here. He\u2019s using the circumstances with the DREAMers and DACA to get exactly what he wants on immigration. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s gonna sell out. If he sells out on…<\/p>\n

If we get amnesty with Donald Trump in the White House? Pfft! It doesn\u2019t compute. (sigh) There hasn\u2019t been any evidence in the past 12 months that Trump is doing anything but sticking to his agenda. We\u2019ll just see. But people have been burned so many times by Republicans that even this guy Sean from Philadelphia who voted for Trump… Ah, he didn\u2019t sound like he was an all-in Trumpster, but he\u2019s still holding out the possibility that we could be sold out on this. And I think that\u2019s probably not what\u2019s going on. Trump\u2019s riding high, riding a wave here that is pretty confident he can get what he wants.<\/p>\n

Lindsey Grahamnesty is out there saying, “I have never felt closer to comprehensive immigration reform than we are today.” That\u2019s probably trying to push Trump in this direction. You know, these guys think they all know how to play Trump now. All of these people think that to get what they want out of Trump, all they\u2019ve gotta do is just flatter him and praise him. They think that they can get him to do anything they want, that he\u2019s almost childlike in his acceptance of flattery and praise. So they lavish it on and they ladle it on and think they\u2019re gonna get where they want to go as a result of that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Dan in Dallas. You\u2019re next, sir. Great to have you with us on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, how you doing? Nice to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet. Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was talking to Mr. Snerdley about DACA. I\u2019ve been watching the news now for about the past week, week and a half, and Republican strategists, Democratic strategists, they keep saying the American people want this, 80% of Americans polled are in favor of DACA. I talk to friends, families from all political spectrums, we talk about taxes, we talk about the environment, we talk about every subject, but we never talk about DACA. I\u2019m just curious, where did this poll come from, where do they get these numbers from? ‘Cause I just feel like — maybe I\u2019m heartless, but I\u2019m just in the 20% that doesn\u2019t want DACA.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, polling is becoming an area that has in many people\u2019s view become corrupted and untrustworthy. The last election, presidential election was a sterling example. Most got it way wrong. And the previous elections too. The polling companies say it\u2019s getting harder and harder because people are harder and harder to reach and identify. It\u2019s very rare to see a poll where 80% agree on anything. I myself, I haven\u2019t seen that poll, but my inclination would be to be suspicious of it. I\u2019m suspicious of everything in the media, however. That\u2019s just me. I\u2019m suspicious of everything, everything, without exception. It\u2019s the way you have to be now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
