RUSH: Okay. Finally, it\u2019s time to get to the phones, and we\u2019re gonna start in Washington. This is Edward. Welcome, sir. Great to have you. You are up first today. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Merry Christmas, Rush, and Merry Christmas to your incredible audience too.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir. They all appreciate it. We all do.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I know you do. Hey, Rush, I\u2019m gonna give you a report from Washington, D.C., at the corner of 14th and Constitution, and I just want to let you know that the Treasury just collapsed, the mint is on fire, and the street is strewn with automobiles tipped upside down and they\u2019re all on fire, and Nancy Pelosi is leading a throng of illegal aliens throwing Molotov cocktails down Independence Avenue. So, yeah, there is chaos here. Okay. (chuckling) I drive into D.C. every day. This place is like a ghost town! Everybody\u2019s already left, everybody\u2019s already checked out of here, okay? This government shutdown, it\u2019s a bunch of smoke and mirrors.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes!<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Christmas break probably starts the day after Thanksgiving in that town.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I notice. I know \u2019cause I drive into town every day I notice the traffic patterns, and as soon as we\u2019re coming to Thanksgiving time, you could just see that the traffic tail off, and you know everybody\u2019s just… They\u2019re taking their vacations now. This place, everyone\u2019s left already. So who cares? You know, Rush, I agree with you 99% of the time. But today I agree with you 99.99% of the time (chuckles) because I say we ought to do this more often. I wish the Republicans would do this more often. Take these issues and make them eat them. Make Nancy Pelosi eat that issue. She wants drugs coming over the border? Let her eat that issue. Chuck Schumer wants illegal aliens coming in? Make him eat that issue.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Exactly! Put the onus on these people! This is what\u2019s at stake here! You know, the Democrats portray all of this… For example, they say that we want to shut down illegal immigration because we\u2019re racists and we don\u2019t like poor people. We don\u2019t like brown people, and we don\u2019t like people who don\u2019t speak English. They try to portray our position on this as something other than what it is. It\u2019s very simple. It\u2019s the glue that holds the country together actually. It\u2019s called the rule of law. That\u2019s first and foremost. It\u2019s illegal!<\/p>\n

Then you add unconstitutional to it when you start talking about sanctuary cities. It\u2019s illegal! The country can\u2019t function this way. We\u2019re not opposed to immigration, and it ticks me off to even have to say this. We have systems established to allow legal immigration, and people have played by those rules forever. The Democrat Party wants these rulebreakers and lawbreakers to be able to come in to the country with open arms on our side and impunity when they get here! And it\u2019s time that the results of this get thrown right back down their throats. I agree with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
