RUSH:\u00a0 And look at this, folks.\u00a0 Only 7% of Americans say illegal immigration is not a problem<\/a>.\u00a0 The first act by the Democrat House majority is to defy the will of 93% of the population.\u00a0 Only 7% of Americans say illegal immigration is not a problem.\u00a0 Eighty-eight percent of Democrats.\u00a0 To insinuate that anybody who disagrees with them is immoral? You know, if the rest of the Republican leadership would fight back, we could win this debate!<\/p>\n

\"\"Why does Trump have to go it alone?\u00a0 I\u2019ll tell you why Trump has to go it alone.\u00a0 Because people like Never Trumpers, like Romney and the rest of this crowd, is sitting here living 25 years in the past, or 20 years in the past.\u00a0 They have been rendered obsolete.\u00a0 They have been rendered irrelevant.\u00a0 They never were relevant, if you want to get down to brass tacks.\u00a0 In their own minds they were.<\/p>\n

But it remains a one-man show:\u00a0 Donald Trump against the Democrat Party and the media!\u00a0 Donald Trump against fake news.\u00a0 Donald Trump against lying news.\u00a0 And we are very fortunate the guy does not cave.\u00a0 We\u2019re very fortunate he\u2019s willing to put up with this.\u00a0 Ninety-three percent of the American people say illegal immigration is a problem; 88% of Democrats.\u00a0 The first act by the Democrats now who run the House of Representatives was to pass legislation or to tout legislation mocking this, lamenting this, making fun of this, and ridiculing this!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019ll see how this plays out.\u00a0 How many of you thought Trump would have caved by now?\u00a0 Be honest.\u00a0 How many thought Trump was gonna cave by now?\u00a0 Well, the media said he was gonna be caving if it weren\u2019t for me. The media said he wouldn\u2019t even have done it if it weren\u2019t for me.\u00a0 There\u2019s a story out there today by a former Trump supporter who\u2019s gone off the reservation and says, “You know what?”<\/p>\n

He said, “There never was gonna be a wall.\u00a0 We just created the concept of a wall to help this idiot Trump stay on message.”\u00a0 You believe that?\u00a0 “There never was gonna be a wall!\u00a0 We knew before Trump knew how important his message on illegal immigration was, and so we had to create the concept of the wall for him so that he could say something and remember something very simple during all of those rallies.<\/p>\n

“To keep him from going off the prompter and going rogue and start mumbling about things he didn\u2019t understand. We just kept pounding, ‘Mr. President, just the wall. You gotta build the wall!\u2019 That\u2019s what we kept telling him.”\u00a0 So this guy going rogue now basically is trying to say, “Trump never even believed in it! The wall was never real. We, who were smarter than Trump…” Notice they\u2019re not with Trump anymore. “We, who were smarter than Trump, created the whole notion of a wall just to simplify things for him.”<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

So the one guy holding firm, the one guy standing for it, the one guy who is not buckling in any way, shape, manner, or form on this had to be told to use the wall, had to have this whole concept of a wall created because of his simpleton mind.\u00a0 This is a former Trump supporter.\u00a0 Now, this is just one example of the kind of stuff that Trump gets thrown at him each and every day.\u00a0 I\u2019ll guarantee you the vast majority of us would have gotten frustrated with this long ago and thrown up our hands and said, “To heck with this” and would have done anything we could to make it stop.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get started on the phones.\u00a0 David in Denver.\u00a0 You\u2019re up first today.\u00a0 Great to have you.\u00a0 Welcome back, sir.\u00a0 Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (garbled cell) Happy New Year, Rush.\u00a0 I am one of those 380-some-odd-thousand employees, federal employees that are sitting on the sidelines right now.\u00a0 Yes, I\u2019m suffering financially.\u00a0 Yes, it could not come at a worse time for my own family\u2019s personal financial life, and I have to push back creditors and basically run the risk of maybe having my house, you know, foreclosed on, which is not gonna happen because as the president said, we\u2019re good for the money.<\/p>\n

Having said all of that, at the same time, I cannot sit here and with a good conscience continue to allow this open-border policy we currently have with our country and the lives that it cost on our Border Patrol agents, the sex trafficking or the trafficking of people from both sides.\u00a0 We have children that are being kidnapped here in the United States and carried across the border into Mexico because of this open border.<\/p>\n

So to me, I will suffer this small financial loss for the short amount of time to help insure that we get something done in this process, because if not now, when?\u00a0 And the second real quick comment is, there was an article in CNN Business called, “Cable News Networks Air Trump\u2019s Comments in Real-Time. But Should They?<\/a>”\u00a0 I\u2019m sure Cookie has that in your Stack, but I had to put that in there because they\u2019re now asking the question could they cover him in real time \u2019cause basically he\u2019s making them look bad.\u00a0 (chuckling) Sorry.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I\u2019m not… I didn\u2019t get the CNN part of what you said.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t quite understand that.\u00a0 Do you know Cookie?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 No.\u00a0 But normally Cookie has the… There\u2019s an article out there on CNN Business that says, “Cable News Networks Air Trump\u2019s Comments in Real-Time. But Should They?”\u00a0 is the headline.\u00a0 And basically the article sits there and says, you know, Trump puts out all this misinformation, should we be airing this in real time.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Why should they not?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s the thing is that we then have to… They want to filter it through their lens so that we get the information that they think worthy and is not, you know, with Trump\u2019s lies, as they put it.\u00a0 Or falsehoods, as they say.\u00a0 Interesting.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 Basically, they\u2019re saying should they fact check him before they report what he says since he lies so much?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 Well, and I was trying to get on YouTube yesterday when he was going to Camp David to find out exactly what he said to the reporters because it\u2019s really a fascinating interchange.\u00a0 He makes them look really bad.\u00a0 One reporter last week asked a question, “Well, Mr. Trump, you said it was gonna be a concrete wall.\u00a0 Why…?” You know? And the president said (impression), “It\u2019s a wall.\u00a0 It\u2019s either a steel or concrete, but it still is a water.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 Steel would actually be better for the United States.\u00a0 I\u2019m sorry.”\u00a0 I don\u2019t mean to —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 All right.\u00a0 I gotta run, though.\u00a0 I\u2019m way out of time.\u00a0 Glad you called.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
