<\/p>\nRUSH: I promise your phone calls are coming in the next half hour, but I\u2019ve got a new sound bite. John Kasich is distressed. John Kasich is upset. John Kasich is troubled. John Kasich is bothered. John Kasich is hurt. John Kasich is concerned. They can call us all kinds of names, they can call us racists, they can call us sexists, bigots, homophobes, they can besmirch us, they can impugn us, they can lie about us, and John Kasich talks about crossing the aisle to work with them. John Kasich will never condemn them. He\u2019s very, very, very troubled here.<\/p>\n
KASICH: I don\u2019t run around trying to call people communists and they\u2019re socialists and they hate America. I mean, you see, this is the road we\u2019re on. It\u2019s just that one thing leads to another. It started in Charlottesville and all the time — and the language becomes more and more acceptable. We become immune. This name calling, where does it leave us at the end? We\u2019re losing a little piece of our soul every time we stand back and allow this kind of rhetoric and division and anger to be announced without people pushing back saying, \u201cAll right, that\u2019s enough, knock it off.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: So seriously, Mr. Kasich, all he did was call \u2019em communists and socialists. Some of them are very proud to be socialists. Communists and socialists are somehow dirty names? As I say, they can call us and have been calling us for decades all kinds of filthy names and lying about us at the same time, and never was there any concern. Well, at least not in the last 15 or 20 years recently has there been any concern.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re losing our soul every time we allow this kind of rhetoric, but we don\u2019t lose our soul when they mischaracterize us? What did Trump say? He called \u2019em socialists. He called \u2019em communists. Well, Lindsey Graham did that. Trump backed off on the communist, didn\u2019t go that far. See what a one-way street this is and always has been? And it\u2019s only when we push back that we get criticized by people ostensibly on our side.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: By the way, Kasich was on CNN when he made those comments. We are where we are because people like Kasich have not pushed back ever for I don\u2019t know how long, and it illustrates once again why Trump is president and why his support is continuing to grow is because he\u2019s the only one taking the lead on this stuff, pushing back against these people who intend our country harm! Why not push back on that?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Why do we have to respect opposing points of views and be gentlemanly about it when they\u2019re trying to undercut the very foundation and fabric of what the country is? We don\u2019t have time to worry about whether some people understand it or not. They have to be shown. That\u2019s what Trump is doing. He\u2019s doing a great job, I think, of illustrating who these people are, and he\u2019s doing it, as usual, within the elected class, he\u2019s doing it alone.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Brooksville, Florida. Ron, you\u2019re next. Great that you waited. Welcome to the program, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s a privilege to talk to you. You\u2019re right about what you were saying. Senator Collins has already made an announcement that she is against Trump for coming out against these people in Congress, that he\u2019s being insulting to the members of Congress. Yes, these four people are leading the Democrat Party, I hope to hell, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if within the hour Mitt Romney will come out with a comment condemning Trump for his remarks today. And as you already said, the ex-governor of Ohio, he\u2019s already very unhappy. But none of these people stand up. You\u2019re absolutely right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: No. They never stand up when we are being assaulted and attacked. But this is not an attack by Trump. This is simply the elucidation of truth. These people are out there ripping this country every day. We played you the sound bites of Ilhan Omar. You people in America, you do not know how to make this a great country because you were born here and you take it for granted. It takes an outsider like her to come in here and perfect this country.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m telling you, they don\u2019t like the country as founded. Look, I don\u2019t want to be a broken record here. You know what I think about this. You know the drill and what\u2019s going on and what the Democrat Party has become. They don\u2019t like America as founded because it stands in the way of the America they want.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m telling you, folks, at the center of this is this entire immigration fiasco. Do not discount, do not not take seriously the point that I am making about their objective here in obliterating the concept of citizenship. It\u2019s not just a project that globalists have for the United States. It is a worldwide project.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Look, they know it\u2019s gonna take a long time. This is nothing that somebody\u2019s gonna try to implement tomorrow. But we\u2019re in the middle of it, and it does take so long, and it winds its way slowly here that people don\u2019t realize what\u2019s going on because they get distracted by the immediacy of the problem, which today is an invasion of people at the southern border. Why it\u2019s happening, who cares. We just have to stop it.<\/p>\n
But once people succeed in obliterating the concept of citizenship, well, then you can easily say there\u2019s no need for borders. Because you are where you are. If you\u2019re in America, you\u2019re an American, regardless what you believe. You could be the biggest supporter of the Soviet Union and criminalizing communism and still be called an American simply because you\u2019re in America. Not because you have any citizenship or any ties to it whatsoever.<\/p>\n
America stands in the way of what worldwide socialists are dreaming of. America has to be taken down a peg or two. Now, some people, when I mention this, \u201cRush, don\u2019t these people realize they would be destroying the economic engine of the world?\u201d They don\u2019t look at it that way.<\/p>\n
They assume that the wealth is going to remain. They don\u2019t look at socialism as — they don\u2019t see it as it is. They don\u2019t see it as some destructive force. They see it as something that\u2019s wonderful perfection that hasn\u2019t been done right yet, despite all the evidence. I\u2019m glad you called, Juan. Thanks much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
