RUSH: He just did it again. The guy just doesn\u2019t stop. He just did it again. President Trump is in Chicago. He\u2019s speaking to a gigantic conference of law enforcement officials, police chiefs, sheriffs and so forth from all over the country. They\u2019ve been doing this for 126 years. The meeting is in Chicago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before Trump got there the police superintendent of Chicago, Eddie Johnson, said he was gonna boycott, he\u2019s not gonna go. He wasn\u2019t gonna show up because Trump doesn\u2019t share the right values. Trump doesn\u2019t share Eddie Johnson\u2019s values. You might remember Eddie Johnson. He\u2019s the police chief that came out with all the evidence on Jussie Smollett, who the city attorney undercut, let Smollett go. The police chief didn\u2019t understand it, got mad and so forth.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when we first heard nationally of Eddie Johnson. And then he pipes up again saying Trump doesn\u2019t represent his values. Trump is Mr. Unmentionables. He goes into places and he says what you\u2019re not supposed to say. It is great. I have to tell you, it is absolutely great.<\/p>\n

What are you not supposed to mention? You\u2019re not supposed to go to Chicago, and you\u2019re not supposed to talk about all the murders, 530 murders last year. You\u2019re not supposed to do it. You\u2019re not supposed to mention it. You\u2019re not supposed to talk about the inept Chicago Police Department. You\u2019re not supposed to talk about Chicago as a sanctuary city where they treat criminals in Chicago better than they treat law-abiding citizens.<\/p>\n

Trump just called them out on it and he\u2019s getting practically standing ovations for it, in Chicago. He\u2019s standing up for the cops. He\u2019s standing up for the beat cops, the patrol cops, the detectives. He\u2019s standing up for everybody on the street doing their jobs who are handcuffed by bureaucrats who, of course, are obsessed by political correctness.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not supposed to go to a Democrat stronghold like Chicago and you\u2019re not supposed to call \u2019em out for their incompetence and you\u2019re not supposed to call \u2019em out for their ineptitude, and you sure as heck are not supposed to talk about all the murders. And you\u2019re not supposed to say that Chicago has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the country, which are not working, you\u2019re not supposed to do that.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Donald Trump embattled, supposedly being impeached by a bunch of inept inferiors who couldn\u2019t hold a candle to Donald Trump led by Pencil Neck Adam Schiff. Donald Trump is supposed to be quivering in the corner. He\u2019s supposed to be scared. He\u2019s supposed to be intimidated. He\u2019s supposed to be worried they\u2019re on the verge of throwing him out of Washington. What\u2019s he doing? He\u2019s going everywhere you\u2019re supposed to not go, and he\u2019s saying things you\u2019re not supposed to say.<\/p>\n

He is jamming political correctness down their throats. This has been fabulous. We will have sound bites for it as soon as we can. The president\u2019s speech just concluded, now getting an award or getting some mentions there. I was struck by the amount of applause. I mean, Chicago is Eddie Johnson\u2019s town. He\u2019s the police superintendent. You know, I have to tell you, I liked Eddie Johnson during that Smollett thing.<\/p>\n

I thought Eddie Johnson might have been one of us. And by that, I mean a conservative. I thought he might have been an African-American conservative. Obviously not or else he somehow for his own safety and protection, political career, felt it necessary to denounce Trump and then to announce that he wasn\u2019t gonna dare show up and be anywhere Trump was. Maybe he has to do that for his career. Maybe he has to do that for having any chance of advancement in Chicago.<\/p>\n

But, I mean, this is Rahm Emanuel\u2019s town. I don\u2019t care who the mayor is now, it\u2019s Rahm Emanuel\u2019s town. That means it\u2019s Barack Obama\u2019s town, it\u2019s Bill Clinton\u2019s town, and Donald Trump just went in there and called \u2019em out for all the things everybody knows is going on there that need to be fixed. He said, \u201cYou know what? We can fix this problem in a day. We can fix this problem in a day, and it wouldn\u2019t be that hard. You know how we do it? We let the cops do their jobs.\u201d And the place erupted. It erupted.<\/p>\n

Now the media wants Donald Trump to be on the ropes, as I said. The media wants everybody to believe that Trump is barely hanging on. The media wants everybody to believe that Trump is quivering and cowering in the corners and is about to recognize that his days as president are over, and it is the exact opposite.<\/p>\n

Trump said another president — he\u2019s talking about Baghdadi — and, by the way, you know, this Baghdadi thing, this whole operation, the media coverage of it, again it\u2019s a teachable moment. And there\u2019s no better place to be taught about this than right here, the EIB Network. So hang on.<\/p>\n

But Trump is unafraid. You know, the fraternity of presidents is such, there are very few of them, I mean, he\u2019s number 45, but he\u2019s not the 45th president because some of them served two terms. You\u2019re not supposed to call each other out. You\u2019re just not supposed to do it. But he calls out Obama every chance he gets. And you know why? Because it\u2019s Barack Obama who led that coup.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Barack Obama and Comey and Brennan who put all of that in motion with the FBI, the DOJ, in order to railroad Trump, get him out of town before he served his first term. And Trump knows it. And he\u2019s not going to sit there and have reverence and respect for this fraternity. That\u2019s not who he is. So he plainly tells these police officers and all at this convention in Chicago, \u201cAnother president should have gotten Baghdadi years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You know, it\u2019s been fascinating to study the media reaction to this. You know one of the things I saw first? I tried to remember, I didn\u2019t print it, I haven\u2019t been able to find it, because frankly it hasn\u2019t been be a priority to find out who because it could be any of them. But somebody in the media actually said, \u201cObama was so elegant in his press conference announcing the death of bin Laden, and Trump was so coarse, calling him a dog. Called him cowering, scared like a scared dog, it was so inelegant. It was so ew, ew, it was so bad,\u201d the way Trump announced the death of Baghdadi compared to the way Obama announced the death of bin Laden.<\/p>\n

And Obama made it a point, \u201cWe did not desecrate the body of bin Laden in respect for Islamic tradition.\u201d Well, we didn\u2019t have the chance to save al-Baghdadi\u2019s body because he blew himself up and his three kids rather than be captured by the Trump regime. He didn\u2019t want any part of that.\u201d So Trump points out that another president should have gotten him years ago. He then told this convention that his administration has destroyed the caliphate by almost a hundred percent.<\/p>\n

He then introduced William Barr, and Barr got another huge ovation. He said that Barr is doing a great job. Boy, when he got to Eddie Johnson… You know, Eddie Johnson could have not been mentioned. If Eddie Johnson would have just shut up, Trump would not have even mentioned him. Eddie Johnson, though, had to go make a big deal out of the fact that he wasn\u2019t gonna show up. The Chicago police superintendent had to make a big deal about it.<\/p>\n

You know, most of these guys still don\u2019t know Donald Trump. They think that he\u2019s gonna ignore it. They think, “Well, I can call out Trump and Trump is the president. The president cannot punch down. The president cannot come down to my level. So I\u2019ll be able to say whatever I want about the president and he will not be able to react to me,” and Trump doesn\u2019t care who you are. You could be the mayor of Juarez, Mexico, and say something, and he\u2019ll come after you.<\/p>\n

So he called out Eddie Johnson, the police superintendent, for not being there and for not doing his job — and then Trump recited the horrible shooting numbers in Chicago. The murders. The incidents. He pointed out Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the United States. He said (summarized), “That doesn\u2019t seem to be working out too well.” He said, “You can count on me. I am always… When it comes down to deciding on illegal criminals and American citizens, you can count on me to come down on the side of the American citizen.”<\/p>\n

The place erupts. Now, you might say, “Well, Rush, that\u2019s just common sense.” If it\u2019s common sense, why\u2019s Trump the only guy who says it? And when Trump says it, why is it so controversial? Why is it something he\u2019s not supposed to mention? Why are you not to mention it? Why are you not supposed to mention what a bunch of bad actors ISIS and Islamist extremists are? Why are you not supposed to talk about the murders in Chicago? Why are you not supposed to talk about neighborhoods those murders happen in?<\/p>\n

Why are you not supposed to mention this?<\/p>\n

Because you\u2019re not supposed to call out the left. You\u2019re not supposed to call out liberals. You are just not supposed to mention it. He trashed the Jussie Smollett case as a scam. He said it\u2019s just like the impeachment of your president is scam — and, again, big applause.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think I\u2019m right about Eddie Johnson. When we first heard of Eddie Johnson here… People in Chicago have known him for a long time. He\u2019s the police superintendent. When he came out and announced the Jussie Smollett case — and remember what he was saying. He couldn\u2019t understand why this young, successful African-American would want to make up a story like this, why he would want to embarrass Chicago, why he would want to embarrass himself. What was the point?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then when the case got dumped, Eddie Johnson was livid. I also assumed that Eddie Johnson might have been a closet conservative, certainly not a card-carrying leftist. Then he comes out and says (summarized), “If Donald Trump\u2019s comin\u2019 to Chicago, I\u2019m not goin\u2019 to where Trump\u2019s gonna be. Donald Trump\u2019s values and mine are totally different! I don\u2019t want to be anywhere near where Trump is.”<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t sound like the Eddie Johnson I got to know. It sounds like Eddie Johnson said what he thought he had to say to maintain good standing with his bosses, and there may be something to that. The New York Daily News… This was a week and a half ago, and I missed this. I don\u2019t read the New York Daily News. I\u2019ll be honest with you. I don\u2019t. It\u2019s the one newspaper I don\u2019t read \u2019cause their website\u2019s impossible, simply impossible. So I don\u2019t even try to find a way to make it workable. But here was the headline:<\/p>\n

“Chicago\u2019s Top Cop Eddie Johnson Calls for Internal Investigation on Himself After He Fell Asleep in Car, But Says Failure to Take His Medication the Issue.” Chicago Tribune headline: “Why Was Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson Found Asleep at the Wheel? The City Deserves an Answer.” So this guy\u2019s in the crosshairs. Eddie Johnson\u2019s in big trouble. He fell asleep in his car doing something, and the city of Chicago wants to know why. So he\u2019s got to do something to save himself. So Trump coming to town, he thought, was the golden nugget.<\/p>\n

Bash Trump.<\/p>\n

Show his “good” side.<\/p>\n

Save the job.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on hold on the phones, I beg your patience. Here we start with Trump in Chicago at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference and Exposition.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: We killed ISIS leader al-Baghdadi.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (whoops, whistles, applause, cheers)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: They\u2019ve been looking for him for a long time. They\u2019ve been looking for him for many years. He was a sick and depraved man, and now he\u2019s dead.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (laughter and applause)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: He\u2019s dead. He\u2019s dead as a doornail.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (laughter and applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, see? Unmentionables!<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: He didn\u2019t die bravely, I will tell you that.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (laughter)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: He should have been killed years ago. Another president should have gotten him.<\/p>\n
