RUSH: George in Chicago, great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s a great honor. You were talking about your father. I want to remember my father who died in 1957. He was a mechanical and electrical engineer for AC Spark Plug and he worked in a plant in Milwaukee where we grew up. I never knew him. He died when I was three. My younger brother was just born and my older brother was five.<\/p>\n

But what he did was, he was engaged in 100 percent of the production of material for the United States of America Air Force, specifically his Milwaukee installation producing gun bomb rocket sites, arming navigational computers under high priority security standards, and his work and products in the plant were the utmost importance to the Air Force. And I say this because there\u2019s so many people that are unsung heroes that are working every day.<\/p>\n

We need to unite the country with the people that are working the lines. That\u2019s why what President Trump is doing bringing manufacturing back to Wisconsin and all over the United States is vital to the security of our country. And, God, I miss my dad. He had a massive heart attack. I\u2019m sure it was World War II and then \u201957 when he was doing the Korean work with his plant. It was too much. But God bless him. I miss him and I hope to see him some day.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: No doubt you will, I think. But you know, you\u2019re absolutely right about something. I have a phrase for people like your dad. And that phrase is the people who make the country work. And your dad seems like a classic member of that group of people. They were not seeking fame or notoriety. They were not narcissistic. They were not trying to call attention to themselves. They knew because of World War II and other challenges that there were — they learned very early in their lives that there were things much bigger than themselves. And they had to grow up really fast.<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t have the luxury that their kids and grandkids had of growing up at leisure.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t have the opportunity for leisure.\u00a0 There were genuine, real threats that needed to be defeated.\u00a0 Threats to the country. And these people are still out there and they\u2019re all over the place. Nobody ever knows about them because they don\u2019t blow their own horn and they don\u2019t have press agents and publicity spokesmen.\u00a0 So nobody ever knows what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

Nobody ever hears about them — and when a story like the Florida shooting happens, we don\u2019t know what they think.\u00a0 We are treated to a news media that has become a very activist — radical left activist — organization that disguises itself as media people.\u00a0 One of their tricks, for example, in this story, they\u2019re trying to make it look like every American is ticked off and wants the NRA disbanded and guns collected and not sold anymore; that every American finally realizes it!<\/p>\n

Except for Donald Trump and the Republicans, who are still a bunch of pig-headed stubborn, obstinate snobs who don\u2019t get it.\u00a0 And that\u2019s what\u2019s reported.\u00a0 But we don\u2019t know what people like your dad think about these things.\u00a0 And it\u2019s important to know because they\u2019re the people that make the country work.\u00a0 And by that, look, there are people every day that are doing things that are not glamorous and they\u2019re not exorbitantly highly paid but the country couldn\u2019t function each day without them — and that\u2019s why I say they are people that make the country work.<\/p>\n

The media does not make the country work.\u00a0 The media, in many ways, provides an impediment for people to overcome.\u00a0 The media is an obstacle that some people have to find their way around.\u00a0 In many ways, doing a disservice. I really think this story in Florida, there is so big a disservice being done.\u00a0 If the objective is… Stop and think.\u00a0 The next shooting is going to happen.\u00a0 There is going to be one.\u00a0 Yet we continue to act like maybe there won\u2019t be — and then when it happens, we\u2019re shocked and saddened and mad.<\/p>\n

\"\"But we know it\u2019s going to happen.\u00a0 Intelligence guided by experience.\u00a0 As a brilliant caller to the program said yesterday, it\u2019s pretty good odds that the next shooter already has the gun he\u2019s going to use.\u00a0 And just like this incident, I bet you that the next shooter is already known by some people like this guy was, and nothing was done.\u00a0 The FBI said, “Well, the video tip that we got, there wasn\u2019t enough.\u00a0 There just wasn\u2019t enough.\u00a0 The guy\u2019s name was not enough.\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t confirm that it was the real guy.”<\/p>\n

Well, how about…? This guy, they had been visited his house, the cops, 39 times over a number of years<\/a>. How in the world can this guy slither through this many law enforcement hands?\u00a0 And the answer is how their hands are tied.\u00a0 See, if we really want to do something about this, we\u2019ve got to realize this is America.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the America we wish.\u00a0 It\u2019s not an America where there aren\u2019t any guns.\u00a0 It\u2019s not an America where there is no NRA.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an America where there isn\u2019t a Second Amendment. It\u2019s an America with 300 million guns and a bunch of mentally disturbed people out there being mentally disturbed by a whole bunch of reasons that we also better get our arms around, if we\u2019re going to stop it. If we\u2019re going to save the kids shouting, “Stop the guns! Ban the guns!” dumping on Trump or the Republicans or the NRA is not going to do one thing towards stopping it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
