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

RUSH: Yakima, Washington. You know what Yakima, Washington\u2019s famous for? It\u2019s the first city in the country with 92-gallon rolling trash cans that you put out in the front yard near the street when the garbage guys come pick up. Yakima, Washington. Here\u2019s Josh. Great to have you on the phones, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for having me. I just want to say, we need to effect change, and the only way to do it is to get Trump in office. He is the only person who has a pair that\u2019s willing to talk about the issues. And, you know, I\u2019ve always been a lifelong conservative. I\u2019m a W fan. I know a lot of people are. The last Bush president, I loved him. His brother\u2019s a nice guy, but he doesn\u2019t have a pair. We need someone to speak out. I\u2019m 34, and I agree with that 28-year-old caller, the Millennial. We need change.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: And that\u2019s what Trump… Well, now, let me ask something else he said. He said — and I thought this was key. He said, “Everybody and their uncle…” I saw it discussed today that the establishment types, the political professionals, can\u2019t believe that Trump survived his opening comments about Mexicans when he announced his candidacy. They can\u2019t believe he survived what he said about Megyn Kelly, and they can\u2019t believe that he survived what he said about John McCain. This 28-year-old guy told me yesterday, “Rush, to understand this you have to understand it isn\u2019t about Trump. He happens to be the vessel. He happens to be the opening, whatever. But we\u2019re not interested in destroying Trump because we don\u2019t want to destroy what Trump represents.” Is that pretty much true for you, too?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s exactly it. We need… It\u2019s obviously not working. Things aren\u2019t working. Something needs to change, and it\u2019s not… I mean, there are things where I kind of look at Trump and I say, “Boy, really? Should he have said that?” But he\u2019s the only person to drive us to making change, and I\u2019m a results-driven guy. You know, I work logistics, and we need to effect change. We need to see results. So the fact that he says off-the-cuff things, though it\u2019s not right, I think your average voter… You know, we\u2019re all imperfect, right? We all have our things. He\u2019s gonna do stupid stuff, but he\u2019s gonna drive us to those results.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s the only way to effect change.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You talk about… Thanks for the call. You talk about things are not working. I disagree. I think the Obama machine is well-oiled. I think the Obama administration is clicking on all cylinders. I think there\u2019s nothing stopping \u2019em. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re leaking oil. I don\u2019t think they got any carburetor problems. I think their jet engines are on afterburner and there\u2019s nobody stopping \u2019em. It\u2019s working better than they ever dreamed it would, and now Obama\u2019s so energized he\u2019s gonna go the executive action route because he\u2019s been told effectively that there\u2019s no attempt to stop him here. Things are working for Obama, and that just adds to the frustration and the fear and the anger of people who don\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
