RUSH: Let me start in Kennesaw, Georgia. This is Bob. Great to have you with us today, sir. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m doing great. I\u2019m better than I deserve now. It\u2019s an honor, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you. I appreciate that, and I understand it. I understand exactly how you feel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019ll get to the point. Yesterday you played two clips, one from the governor of California who said that they were so wonderful and that they were experiencing record surpluses<\/a>, yet the clip from the mayor of Los Angeles directly thereafter said, oh, he can\u2019t end homelessness without federal help. Now, do these people not talk to each other?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I\u2019m sure that they do. You\u2019re pointing out that their message didn\u2019t seem to be coordinated?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Their message is just the opposite. If the state of California\u2019s taking money from their taxpayers, why is it not going to benefit the state of California? Why are they holding it? What\u2019s the problem? Why do they need federal help if they\u2019re extracting all this money from the state and they\u2019re just sitting on it —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, not only that, why do they need federal help when they\u2019re out there actively advocating disobeying federal law when it comes to immigration? I mean, the governor is basically telling the United States, as long as Trump is president, leave us alone and go pound sand. We\u2019re gonna have our own system of laws. We don\u2019t care what the federal immigration laws are. We\u2019re gonna have our own.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Trump in California. This story, Washington Post: \u201cTrump says the EPA will hit San Francisco with environmental violations over homelessness.\u201d<\/a> This is what I love about Trump. So you have this mayor, Garcetti, Eric Garcetti, he\u2019s the son of former police head honcho out there Gil Garcetti, who was also a consultant on the TV show Major Crimes, which happened to be one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I\u2019m very sad when they canceled it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s Eric Garcetti, he\u2019s running around, and homelessness is sprouting like weeds in Los Angeles. And when you combine the homeless population with illegal immigrants there are diseases popping up that we\u2019ve already cured in America that are popping up and they are festering in Los Angeles. Go up to San Francisco, we\u2019ve got homelessness, it\u2019s spreading like weeds. You know the drill about piles and piles of human feces, so many that there are maps now for tourists to know where not to go so as to avoid them.<\/p>\n

So here come these guys, the governor and the mayor. They\u2019re better than everybody, Trump\u2019s an idiot, Trump\u2019s a buffoon, we\u2019re not gonna obey Trump\u2019s laws, screw Trump. And then Garcetti comes around, “It\u2019s not our job to fix homelessness. We need federal money to fix homeless.” Too bad. Homelessness is your problem. If you\u2019re a Democrat, homelessness is your problem.<\/p>\n

You close down mental disease centers. You turn these people loose claiming nobody has a right to deny them freedom of movement, so you set \u2019em loose. They\u2019ve got mental problems galore. They\u2019re out on the streets. They can\u2019t take care of themselves. They can\u2019t provide for themselves. They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing, they get sick, they spread the diseases they get and somehow this a Republican problem. Why is it going nuts in the utopian state of California in both of the major metro areas, LA and San Francisco?<\/p>\n

So they\u2019re out badgering Trump about what a mean guy he is, how incompetent he is, how mean-spirited, how he doesn\u2019t care. They\u2019re not gonna pay attention to federal immigration laws and the Los Angeles mayor\u2019s demanding federal money to deal with homelessness. So Trump ramped up his recent attacks against California cities late yesterday by announcing that the Environmental Protection Agency — now, folks, this is a\"\"<\/p>\n

double whammy, \u2019cause the left loves the EPA. The EPA is their church.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a story in the Stack, environmentalist wackos are praying to plants. They\u2019re going out and finding plants, green-leafed plants, weeds and stuff, and they\u2019re praying to them and they\u2019re begging the plants to forgive us. These are religious people. This is not a joke. I thought this was a parody site, a satire site. It isn\u2019t. It\u2019s for real. These people losing their minds.<\/p>\n

So they\u2019re out there praying to the god of the environment and the EPA is their church. That\u2019s where they get to enact all this climate change stuff without having had to go through Congress. This is where they\u2019re able to write regulations, punitive regulations on the kind of car you drive, the kind of food you eat, what farmers can and can\u2019t grow, all of that. And Trump using the EPA to drop the whammy on these people is sweet justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump announced the EPA will hit San Francisco with violations over its homeless population. \u2018It\u2019s a terrible situation \u2014 that\u2019s in Los Angeles and in San Francisco,\u2019 Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. \u2018We\u2019re going to be giving San Francisco, they\u2019re in total violation, we\u2019re going to be giving them a notice very soon.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump said the EPA would issue a notice in less than a week. It is unclear what laws San Francisco is accused of violating, but the president cited \u2018tremendous pollution\u2019 entering the ocean through storm sewers, specifically expressing a concern about used needles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the left, you ought to see my tech bloggers. They\u2019re beside themselves because they think that corporate America is depositing all of its trash in the oceans and all of its plastic and killing the turtles and killing the sharks and killing the whales. Corporate America is evil. Republicans are evil. So here comes Trump and he\u2019s blaming filthy oceans on the homeless and their drug problem.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hilarious because it\u2019s a direct jab at the nonsense these other people are — The real problem here is so much homelessness in California, all these dirty needles and the paraphernalia ending in our beautiful oceans. It\u2019s classic Trump. It\u2019s brilliant. Blame Democrat homelessness for the filth and pollution of waterways and oceans in California.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He said, “They have to clean it up. We can\u2019t have our cities going to hell.” There\u2019s not a Republican alive who would even contemplate \u2013 it wouldn\u2019t even occur to any Republican politician alive to hit back at these people this way, much less do it if they had thought of it. Trump does it without thinking about it, knowing full well there\u2019s gonna be a heap of abuse thrown on him again, but he doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of stuff he loves. It\u2019s the kind of stuff he has fun doing. They\u2019re running around blaming you and blaming me, blaming American progress for polluting the oceans and Trump comes along, “No, no. There\u2019s so much pollution, so much drug paraphernalia, so much disease in Los Angeles and California, that\u2019s what\u2019s ruining the oceans.”<\/p>\n

And these people out there are left speechless. Now they have to defend the homeless. “No, no, no. Our homeless are clean and pure as the wind-driven snow. Our homeless would never pollute. Our homeless are Californians. They\u2019re very sensitive of the environment.” Folks, appreciate it while you can. This kind of Republican politician is sadly one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Michael in Yuma, Arizona. Great to have you with us on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Tremendous, great pleasure to talk with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My main thing is — I have another thing, if you have time, about my son and my daughter and your name, which is extremely hilarious, but my concern is — or not concern, but my thought is, do you think Donald Trump, with the amount of time that he\u2019s spending in California and the pressure he\u2019s putting on the Californians that — (bad phone connection)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Your phone is\u2026 (making garbling sounds) is what your phone sounds like. I\u2019ve gotta ask Mr. Snerdley. (talking to Snerdley) Okay, he wants to know, the caller \u2013 (interruption) that\u2019s how it sounded. His phone line was — that\u2019s what a bad phone is. (doing bad phone impression) And then dead. No, we didn\u2019t do it on purpose. It just happens out there.<\/p>\n

He wants to know — what was he talking about with his son and daughter? Do you have any idea what that was? Okay. He wants to know do we have a chance in California since Trump went out there? No. But ladies and gentlemen, dare I ask this, who do you know that, in the past 45 days, was recommending a presidential trip to California? (interruption) You\u2019re exactly right. It was your beloved host, me.<\/p>\n

Why did I say he should do it? Not to win the state. ‘Cause we\u2019re not gonna win the state presidential election this year, but simply not to give up on it, to go out and plant the flag! You know, California is a one party, one media state. Go out, do some fundraisers, have a couple of public appearances and tell the truth about America, the way things are going.<\/p>\n

The state is not absent Republicans. There are some there. But just not enough of them to win elections to the legislature, to the assembly, mayoralties in most of the communities. But America is a great success story right now that needs to be told. And there\u2019s no reason. The Democrats are trying to move in on Texas. The Democrats are trying to take over Texas county by county, precinct by precinct.<\/p>\n

So I think it was a brilliant move to go out there and raise money, take some money out of California. It\u2019s irritated the governor. It\u2019s irritated the mayor of Los Angeles. They\u2019re beside themselves that Trump had the audacity to show up. They\u2019re out there openly promising to ignore federal immigration law. They can\u2019t be allowed to get away with that, folks, for the sake of the union.<\/p>\n

To hell with left versus right. If California one day says, “You know what, we\u2019re not gonna pay any attention to federal immigration law, we\u2019re gonna have the border open. Anybody that wants to come in, comes in. The federal government\u2019s gonna pay for it.”<\/p>\n

Okay. What if they next decide to start ignoring any other federal laws that they don\u2019t like simply to try to goose Trump? Well, we\u2019re gonna end up with anarchy and chaos. And we\u2019re not gonna have a union if it\u2019s that easy for states to simply say, “I\u2019m not gonna obey that law. We\u2019re not gonna enforce that law.”<\/p>\n

\"\"What if the state of California said, “You know what? We\u2019re not gonna have a TSA out here. We\u2019re gonna end all of this rigmarole you have to go through to get on an airplane”? Now, some people might like that, but what do you think would happen? American Airlines mechanics would leave Miami and go to California, try to corrupt airline traffic.<\/p>\n

But this is what these people are doing because they\u2019re so poisoned with hatred for Trump that they think they\u2019re making some big statement by bragging about the fact that they\u2019re ignoring federal law. If that really started happening on a broad basis, state after state, then you can say good-bye to the union. It would be a version of what was going on prior to the Civil War, although on different issues, of course.<\/p>\n

So Trump going out there I think was — and I did say that I don\u2019t think he should go out there and make a speech on Skid Row and point at it and start blaming Democrats. That\u2019s not the point. It\u2019s already a problem for them. But what he did is even better. Claiming that the homeless problem in California is so bad that it\u2019s creating diseases we\u2019ve already cured, it\u2019s poisoning the oceans, poisoning the waterways, and Trump is not gonna let it happen.<\/p>\n

I think his trip out there has been brilliant. And I\u2019ve talked to people who\u2019ve been to Trump fundraisers. And they say that the Trump they saw was better than ever. These are private affairs, not broadcast. They\u2019re not Trump rallies. But I think all in all, it was a brilliant move to go out there, set the stage for more appearances in California and to signal that we\u2019re not giving up on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
