<\/p>\nRUSH: Emmanuel Macron, the boy king of France, has just had his head handed to him. And folks, I\u2019m gonna tell you what\u2019s happening. France was leading the charge to create a climate change economy, massive carbon taxes that were first implemented on gasoline and diesel, $7-a-gallon gasoline in France, and the middle class erupted in massive outrage and protests. Others joined the protests and tried to co-opt it. The communists tried to join the protest and make it look like it was theirs.<\/p>\n
But this was a middle class protest, the yellow jackets. Everybody in France is required to have one in their car to put on in case of a roadside accident just to protect yourself so you can be seen. People started wearing the jackets and protesting, and Macron had to withdraw the tax increase and cancel it and announce so.<\/p>\n
The worldwide climate change movement has been derailed, and they are livid because this was to be the model and the plan for around the world. This was to come to the United States, people have been trying to make these massive carbon taxes on the premise that we gotta stop using fossil fuels to save the planet. So Macron is in deep doo-doo.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019ve also been watching Theresa May, prime minister of the United Kingdom. She was speaking to Parliament this morning to postpone a Brexit vote. She\u2019s trying to get better terms on Brexit from the world headquarters of globalism, Brussels. And this whole Brexit thing and the fact that they just can\u2019t do it the way the British people voted for it, the politicians actually don\u2019t want Brexit to happen. So they\u2019re trying to come up with reworkings and substitutes to make it look like it is, but it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Any time you vote to get out of the European Union and you turn over control of the European Union as to how you\u2019re gonna get out, you are losing! And this is what they\u2019re trying to do. The entire country has been roiled, and now it\u2019s such that Parliament will not vote for her plan. She\u2019s had to suspend the election, postpone it.<\/p>\n
The efforts — and it\u2019s understandable — the efforts the establishment will go to protect and save itself should not be a shock to anybody. Macron, we got some sound bites of him coming up here in just a second. This is the first speech since the yellow jackets burned down Paris in rampant opposition to his climate change policy.<\/p>\n
And this guy was caught short. He really thought, like all leftists do, that everybody was supporting this. He thought everybody wanted to save the planet, everybody believed that climate change was coming, and everybody would readily agree to $7-a-gallon gasoline to save the planet. The problem is people are not gonna accept the blame for this, for something that can\u2019t even be proven to be happening.<\/p>\n
In Italy the leader there is a populist in the mold of Trump, and he has huge support from Italians. He has cut immigration by 81%. The guy\u2019s big on law and order. He has made being a proud nationalist something to be celebrated. Unlike the cesspits of much of the European Union, Italy has something truly fabulous going on, and it\u2019s amazing. People in the European Union, the average, ordinary Tom, Dick, and Harry, they\u2019re fed up with all of this limitless immigration.<\/p>\n
Merkel is in trouble. Her era is done in Germany. People are just sick of it. They\u2019re fed up with this mass illegal immigration and other socialist crap that\u2019s been stuffed down their throats, and they\u2019ve had it. And even when they vote to get rid of it, the establishment stands up and inserts itself as major obstacles.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s little Macron. We have a couple sound bites here. This poor guy\u2019s so out of his league. Whoever talks to him and advises him is really, really ill serving him. This guy hasn\u2019t the foggiest idea where the people of this country really are. Has this guy forgotten the revolutionary tendencies of the French population, particularly against wealthy elites saving and protecting everything for themselves while making everybody else pay for what they have?<\/p>\n
So here is Macron. Listen to this…<\/p>\n
MACRON: (via translator) There is worry. There\u2019s indignation. All of us or most of us in France feel it. However, I cannot accept the inacceptable behavior. The anger was about the gas tax and the prime minister responded to that by canceling the gas tax. However, I feel the anger. Give us another chance. I don\u2019t want to be divided! I don\u2019t want the French people to be divided. This is a country of law. Friendship is what must unite this country.<\/p>\n
RUSH: “Friendship is what must unite this country”? (impression) “Give us another chance”? ” I, too, feel the anger. I don\u2019t want us to be divided. I don\u2019t want the French people to be divided”? Well, then stop dividing \u2019em! Stop blaming \u2019em! You know, you people in government, you blame the people that have nothing to do with any of these problems. They\u2019re just out there living their lives trying to make ends meet and you\u2019re blaming them for the climate being destroyed!<\/p>\n
You\u2019re blaming them for the planet being on a precipice of existence or not. You\u2019re blaming them for a bunch of garbage that isn\u2019t even happening, and they couldn\u2019t be responsible for it if they wanted to be! Average, ordinary citizens of the world are responsible for destroying it? So friendship! “Friendship is what must unite this country.” No, no, no. Friendship is not gonna unite the country. And we one more little sound bite.<\/p>\n
MACRON: (via translator) I want to fix all the injustice that has taken place. Overtime must be paid without any additional taxes, and I want to see an immediate and real improvement in the salaries. This is why I\u2019m ordering an end-of-year bonus for all employees without any taxes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So he\u2019s trying a buy \u2019em back, folks. Little Macron here is trying to buy back the French people. He was gonna raise the gasoline tax so that it would be $7. The price would be $7 a gallon. And now they\u2019re mad at him sob he\u2019s trying to buy \u2019em back with nationwide, year-end tax-free bonuses. “Overtime must be paid without any additional taxes”. Now, he may be proposing this.<\/p>\n
