RUSH: Here\u2019s your big showbiz break right now. In fact, you go ahead. I\u2019m gonna light a cigar here.<\/p>\nRUSH: Give me Line One. I want to go to this guy in Brooklyn. He has a good point. This is worth considering. Michael, great to have you. I\u2019m glad you called. We\u2019re putting you at the top of the list here, because what I think you\u2019re gonna say is something I would say next. So what is it? What\u2019s on your mind here today on Open Line Friday?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay. I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going on. Am I on?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here\u2019s your big showbiz break right now. In fact, you go ahead. I\u2019m gonna light a cigar here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s gonna take me about 15 seconds.<\/p>\n
CALLER: All right. I\u2019ll tell you —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Fifteen seconds. Go!<\/p>\n
CALLER: Very good. There are three reasons I think even though Trump will win, it will be close or it will be a squeaker. And basically, one is the comments like yesterday where they\u2019ll be mischaracterized. No matter what he says, the narrative will be that he\u2019s a collusion person, that he\u2019s gonna do things like that. It\u2019s like Charlottesville. No matter what happens, they\u2019ll say that, you know, “You\u2019ve got good people on both sides.” It will just go on. People will hear it and that\u2019s gonna be a problem.<\/p>\n
The second thing is, there are a lot of people who are gonna be upset he broke his promise at the border. They\u2019re gonna say, “Why go and vote? The country is broken, anyway. Forget it.” So a lot of people might stay home. He\u2019ll lose a lot of people, and the other thing is there are gonna be illegals voting and all these people he\u2019s letting in is gonna make it very tough. So all these reasons combined I think it\u2019s gonna be a lot harder even though the economy\u2019s great and all the guys are crazy socialists and people aren\u2019t ready for that yet and all of that, it\u2019s still gonna be a tough sell.<\/p>\n
RUSH: See, that\u2019s great. All of that is a mouthful and I want to thank you because I had time to get my cigar lighted properly, evenly around the entire barrel, around the entire circumference.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Good.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Most callers could not have gone on as long as you did, as cogently as you did. So I thank you for that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: All right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You, A, are exactly right. The guy never said what they said he said at Charlottesville, and it won\u2019t go away. They still bring it up. What he said about taking info from foreign actors is all hypothetical. He\u2019s not done it; they have. You\u2019re right. They\u2019re never gonna let anybody forget that. It\u2019s never gonna go away — and there was no reason for this!<\/p>\n

Why in the world was George Stephanopoulos allowed in the White House after what he did to Romney, after what he does to every Republican candidate? Why was somebody\u2019s radar not up? Now, your other point, this is the thing I have been biding my time, and I have been… I made reference to this, I think, early this week or late last. I have been waiting for somebody who is a Trump supporter to call here and start talking about this, because you can\u2019t…<\/p>\n
I was looking at the Drudge Report yesterday, and one of the reasons I highlighted that is illegals are popping out of the manhole covers in El Paso! They are laughing as they walk through the open fence and open borders throughout the southern border. ICE is releasing them the minute they catch them. There doesn\u2019t seem to be… Well, even at that, there is a lot of apprehension. There are a lot of them being caught and turned away, but the numbers of people getting in and the news coverage each day makes it look like any effort to reduce the number or stop the number at our border has had no effect whatsoever.<\/p>\n
And I have been waiting, I have been wondering — this is the reason I think Trump got elected. Build the wall, the symbolism of stopping illegal immigration — I have been wondering how patient Trump voters are on this because I don\u2019t care how you slice it, there is no visual image, there are no pictures, there\u2019s nothing you can report that shows success on this front. The only thing you could say is, \u201cWell, if the Democrats had won, there wouldn\u2019t even be any talk of shutting it down.\u201d<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s all true. But you raise, I think, what is a really crucial point that the media hadn\u2019t gotten onto yet. The media\u2019s still trying to destroy Trump on his unfitness for office and this collusion stuff, but the reason Donald Trump got elected was shoring up the American culture, protecting it, defending against this invasion. This is illegal immigration. It\u2019s the thing that kept his coalition together and his base glued together.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And there are gonna be a lot of people who are very frustrated that are just gonna say, “You know what, it doesn\u2019t matter anymore. This is our last chance. This is our hope. And all that\u2019s happened is we got more people in there. The swamp\u2019s too big. They\u2019re not gonna change the immigration loopholes and that\u2019s it, so good-bye. I\u2019m just gonna stay home or I\u2019m moving.” And there\u2019s nothing you can do about it. But I don\u2019t think that you\u2019re gonna be able to \u2013<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, see, there is that risk. I mean, there is a risk that people who were enthusiastic about this are gonna conclude that gosh, if Trump can\u2019t do it then it isn\u2019t gonna get done because there isn\u2019t anybody else like Trump who even wants to stop it, who wants to arrest it, who wants to put whatever the barrier is that stops this massive invasion-sized number of people from getting into this country illegally. He\u2019s the only one that\u2019s ever seriously talked about it. And if he can\u2019t do it, then it can\u2019t be done. You\u2019re right. Some people might end up being dispirited.<\/p>\n
And you could say, “Well, but look what Trump made the Mexicans do at their southern border.” Yeah. At their southern bor. What about ours? We hear stories, we don\u2019t know what to believe. ICE overwhelmed every day, overwhelmed so much they\u2019re just basically engaging in catch-and-release now. It\u2019s just something I\u2019ve been waiting for people to reference. I\u2019m glad you did. I appreciate it, Michael.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
