He\u2019s in Hialeah, Florida, near Miami today at Bucky Dent Park. This is a Tax Cuts for Florida Small Business roundtable. Again, this is the half of America that\u2019s getting up every day going to work, making the country work, making the country run, doing what they have to do.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041618-Trump-Roundtable.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041618-Trump-Roundtable.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-041618-Trump-Roundtable-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not written about; they\u2019re not talked about. It is assumed that that country doesn\u2019t exist. The media portrays a country where everybody hates Trump, everybody regrets voting for Trump, everybody can\u2019t wait for the Democrats to win. But that\u2019s not the other half or whatever percentage. These roundtables, it\u2019s kind of like they\u2019re surreal. If your only exposure to the country is through the Drive-By Media, then you hear this kind of thing, you will obviously be a little surprised. Here\u2019s a couple examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Since Election Day, we\u2019ve created three million new jobs, three million.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: And if I would have said that prior to the election that we\u2019ll create &#8212; in a short period of time &#8212; three million jobs, they would have said, &#8220;That\u2019s ridiculous! That\u2019s an exaggeration! How could it be possible?&#8221; We would have taken a lot of heat. But we\u2019ve created three million new jobs and now the number is even higher than that. So since Election Day, three million new jobs. Unemployment\u2019s rates for Hispanics?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0IpR94TfEE4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: Yeah!<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Are there any Hispanics in the room?<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: No, I doubt that.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: For Hispanics &#8212; think of it &#8212; lowest level employment rates. For African-Americans, the lowest level ever recorded. And I\u2019m really proud of it.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (applause)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And it\u2019s all true! It doesn\u2019t get reported. It\u2019s absolutely true. The lowest level of unemployment since 1973 for African-Americans. Ditto, Hispanic-Americans. It doesn\u2019t get reported. But it\u2019s happening out there in that half of America. But in the other half of America, what\u2019s the media doing? They\u2019re making everybody hysterical! It seems like if not every day, every week there is something new to be hysterical about.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-021318-Trump-Make-America-Great-Again.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-021318-Trump-Make-America-Great-Again.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-021318-Trump-Make-America-Great-Again-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Either a new development in the collusion story, a new development with Mueller, a new development with Trump\u2019s lawyer Cohen. Whatever it is, you can make book on the fact there\u2019s gonna be something new that\u2019s gonna make the other side literally hysterical. Doesn\u2019t matter. And they fall for it hook, line, and sinker every time the media plays the card. Over here, everything\u2019s normal as can be. We\u2019ve got a president working on rebuilding the economy; it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n<p>At this roundtable, a young Hispanic guy got up and talked about his business that he started from the trunk of his car selling things to gas stations. You know, gas stations that have full-service sell trinkets and stuff that gas stations sell along with gasoline and other things. He started a business supplying them and now has a whole bunch of employees, and he\u2019s at this little roundtable and he\u2019s standing up proud as he can be of his business, and he\u2019s telling Trump nowhere in the world but America could he have done what he has done.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s proud, he\u2019s happy, and the crowd\u2019s applauding. (clapping) That\u2019s what this little roundtable is about. It\u2019s about celebrating entrepreneurism, people who are making their way in the world, how things are working, how Trump\u2019s tax cuts are helping people to do this. None of it was on TV today. Normally Trump goes out, does a roundtable, you get some of it. There hasn\u2019t been any of it because it\u2019s all Comey all the time.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 22. Great to have you, folks, El Rushbo and the EIB Network where I am having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. I do it each and every day. I\u2019ve been doing this since I was 16 years old, and I still look forward to it every day when I get up. I look forward to it the night before. Do you know how lucky that is? That\u2019s blessed. Anyway, here we are. 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the guy I was talking about that was at the Trump tax reform Business Roundtable out there down in Hialeah, Florida, today. I mistakenly referred this guy as a young guy. He\u2019s actually 60. He\u2019s been doing his business for a long time. My name is Maximo Alvarez. And he wanted to tell Trump about the business he started in the trunk of his car.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-271166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/TrumpMaximo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/TrumpMaximo.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/TrumpMaximo-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>ALVAREZ: It\u2019s a story of many, many millions of people who come to this country to look for an opportunity, and our president has now restored the capacity of people like me, that started a business from the trunk of our cars to become a very prominent company where we impact over 50, 40,000 families. And thank you, Mr. President. I\u2019m very happy that right before he was elected, we had a town hall meeting and I took the liberty of electing him, I said, &#8220;We\u2019re going to elect you in November, and we\u2019re going to see you soon.&#8221; My God, I look prophetic today.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It is a shame that we refer to this as the other America. But in the current media landscape of today, this is the other America. The America the media reports on is the America that hates Trump, that regrets voting Trump, that can\u2019t wait \u2019til Trump\u2019s replaced, and the media\u2019s all about the efforts underway to get rid of Trump. And it\u2019s made to look like that\u2019s what the entire country wants to do.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, Trump is carrying on, and he is highlighting elements of his agenda that are succeeding and improving life for people, just keeps plugging away at it. I was telling some people over the weekend, you invariably have people who think Trump should do this differently or that differently, some people think Trump should think of resigning, I mean, it runs the gamut. And I say to every one of them, &#8220;Let me ask you a question. Do you think you could put up with one week of what Donald Trump has endured for over two years now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you mean?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Every day you get up, every day you get up and they\u2019re trying to destroy you. The Department of Justice of the United States, the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, the global intelligence agency, trying to destroy you. Every day there\u2019s 15,000 news stories about what a reprobate you are. How long could you put up with that? And I\u2019m stunned how few people personalize it that way. I\u2019m struck. Maybe if you\u2019ve never been through it, it doesn\u2019t cross your mind, I don\u2019t know. But it does mine, and I can tell you, I don\u2019t know anybody who could put up with this and not be sidetracked and not be derailed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-225957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-007-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>I don\u2019t know anybody who would not be so embittered that wouldn\u2019t have lost sight of the agenda by now. Let\u2019s be honest about Trump. Trump is like everybody else; he wants to be loved. He does. Trump wants to be overwhelmingly popular. And I think in some ways, Trump tells himself that he actually is. And he just doesn\u2019t believe some of this negative stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I told you the example, the Turning Point USA little seminar they had at the White House, and the guy, Charlie Kirk leading it says, &#8220;Mr. President, what can you do to help us with all the Trump hatred and anti-Trump bias on campus?&#8221; Trump said, &#8220;That\u2019s really overrated. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s that much of it.&#8221; Heh-heh-heh-heh. That\u2019s how he deals with it. He just doesn\u2019t let it in and he doesn\u2019t process it.<\/p>\n<p>Which is actually good. The worst thing you can do is process the people who hate you. The worst thing you can do is process the people that criticize you, dwell on it, think about it. I\u2019m just telling you that I don\u2019t know anybody who could put up with this. I don\u2019t know anybody who\u2019d want to. I don\u2019t know anybody who would think that they have to.<\/p>\n<p>Most people can\u2019t stand a sentence of criticism if it happens to \u2019em in the newspaper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Again, this is the half of America that&#039;s getting up every day going to work, making the country work, making the country run, doing what they have to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":271144,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
