RUSH: Keith, somewhere in Germany.\u00a0 We have a call from Germany.\u00a0 Keith, it\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network.\u00a0 I would have taken your call sooner if I had seen that you were in Germany.\u00a0 Sorry about that.<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 I appreciate it, Rush.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been listening to you since Obama was elected.\u00a0 I voted for him and realized I made a mistake, and then I started looking for a voice of sanity.\u00a0 I remembered hearing you back in 1989, so I went back looking for you.\u00a0 So I appreciate you talking my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 You bet, sir.\u00a0 Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I\u2019m glad to be here.\u00a0 Hey, I was thinking about what Trump is doing.\u00a0 He\u2019s talking about declaring a national emergency and taking this thing to court.\u00a0 He has to know that when he does this, it\u2019s just gonna get locked up in court, and then it\u2019s over.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t see why that option is even on the table.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Well, I\u2019ll tell you, I think the option… It\u2019s a really good question.\u00a0 By the way, you\u2019re in the military, right?\u00a0 I want to make sure that I acknowledge that.<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Yes, I am.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 You are in the military.<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Yes, I am.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be retiring on August 1st after 30 years.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Thirty years.\u00a0 What branch of the military are you in?<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 I\u2019m in the Air Force.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Air Force!<\/p>\n
CALLER:\u00a0 Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH:\u00a0 Right on.\u00a0 Right on.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 You know, it\u2019s apparent to me that Trump doesn\u2019t want to declare this national emergency.\u00a0 It would have been an easy thing to do.\u00a0 He could have done it during the shutdown.\u00a0 He could have done it rather than trigger the shutdown.\u00a0 He\u2019s acknowledged — in maybe every which way but saying directly — that he doesn\u2019t want to do it, and I think for the reasons that you mention. Everybody knows that once he declares an emergency, that it\u2019s, “Hello, court system,” for who knows how long.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, illegal immigration continues, and the illegals know that the whole issue is stopped up in court. So they start showing up en masse at the border in caravan after caravan.\u00a0 And he knows that declaring the emergency makes it the subject. Not the border. Not the border wall.\u00a0 I just… I don\u2019t think he\u2019s eager to do it or he would have done it by now.\u00a0 But it won\u2019t be long, another 15 days or so. Three weeks, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
