RUSH: Redding, California, we\u2019re gonna start with Robert. Great to have you. First up today on Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Good morning, Rush. Golf playing, cigar smoking dittos to the power of the national debt. Rush, you know, you\u2019ve had a lot of callers lately that are complaining about this or that with regards to Trump. You know, yesterday it was this lady in New Jersey on the tax cut. I think a couple of days ago somebody was talking about his tone, you know.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, you\u2019re right, it was just yesterday, and both callers were female. I remember one was worried. She liked what he was doing but wished he\u2019d stop tweeting about people. It\u2019s not necessary to go after people, makes her nervous, she cringes. The other woman from New Jersey is ticked off that Trump\u2019s tax cuts are eaten away by the fact she no longer can deduct her property and state taxes off her federal return, and she wants Trump to do something about it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. I don\u2019t know. I know I shouldn\u2019t get too upset about it. I know you get a lot of, you know, seminar callers for lack of a better word. A lot of people that aren\u2019t real conservatives and real pro-Trumpers probably call up and say they are. The fact of the matter is, you know, it took us a long time to get this messed up in this country and it\u2019s gonna take a while to get it straightened out. I mean, people need to step up and give Trump all the support they can if they really want the swamp drained, if they really want this country to turn around and get back on where we should be —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I\u2019m glad that you were first today. You\u2019re very, very shrewd out there. I myself have made the point that this is what pushing back against an entrenched group of elites looks like. They\u2019re not just gonna roll over. I have tried every which way I can think of to describe what the Washington establishment is. Not just the way it\u2019s structured, but the mind-set of people in it.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve quite gotten there. I know many of you know what I\u2019m referring to, but I still don\u2019t think I\u2019ve actually hit the home run in describing who these people are and how they think. They believe they are the best. They believe they\u2019re the smartest.<\/p>\n
They believe everybody else is a liability to the country. You and everybody else not in their club are to be kept out of anything important because you\u2019re a bunch of rubes. You just don\u2019t know anything. You\u2019re ill-educated. You didn\u2019t go to the right schools. You don\u2019t have the right family connections. You\u2019re just average, ordinary human debris.<\/p>\n
They are special. They know it. They know that each other are special, and even though they are members of both parties, they still have the thing in common that they are members of the Washington establishment. And that\u2019s what binds them. They circle the wagons, and they come together to defend that whenever it\u2019s under assault.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Republicans, Democrats will put aside whatever fake differences they have in the establishment and unify to make sure nobody who isn\u2019t qualified gets in that club, and certainly nobody who gets elected president or some other powerful position is actually successful, if the objective is to trip these people of their power, of their glory, of their self-worth, of their identity.<\/p>\n
They are members in what they think is the most important and exclusive club or organization, group of people that there is in the world. And membership in this club genuinely does require you to be elite in the ways they define it. And Trump is none of them. Trump has to be destroyed. They\u2019re not gonna roll over. They\u2019re not gonna let this happen.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s good for the country never factors in their thinking. That\u2019s not what they are there to do. The establishment is not there to defend the country. It\u2019s there to defend itself. And that\u2019s why they join other elites around the world and become globalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
