RUSH: Well, Donald Trump just got off of his Boeing 757 in Laredo, Texas, and is now meeting the media swarmed on the other side of the fence, and is explaining whatever to them. <\/p>\n

Greetings, and welcome back. Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. <\/p>\n

By the way, his cap says “Making America Great Again.” And I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s funny. I think it\u2019s CNN. I got both monitors on here and I\u2019m just reading the closed-captioning. I\u2019m not listening to it. They had some political analyst on CNN. Trump gets off the plane and he\u2019s wearing khakis, a white shirt, open collar, and a navy sport coat. He\u2019s got this white cap on. And the CNN analyst said, “And no doubt it\u2019s promoting one of his properties, one of his golf courses, or something to do with Trump.” <\/p>\n

So everybody I\u2019m sure started seeing what the cap said, and it took a while for people to get close enough, and the cap says, “Making America Great Again.” It does not have anything to do with a Trump property. So whoever said it and whatever network it was got it all wrong, as usual, again. <\/line><\/p>\n

Telephone number, if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, and the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. <\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a>, Capitol Hill newspaper is reporting that a local union representing Border Patrol agents has opted out of providing assistance to Donald Trump and his traveling party on his visit to the border with Mexico today in Laredo, Texas. Quote, “After careful consideration of all the factors involved in this event and communicating with members of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) at the National level, it has been decided by Local 2455 to pull out of all events involving Donald Trump.” This from the local union president, Hector Garza. <\/p>\n

Garza said, “Make no mistake, our border with Mexico is not secure and there\u00c2\u2019s no doubt that we need to have an honest discussion about that with the American people.” But we\u2019re not gonna be here with Trump as he attempts to have that conversation with the American people. “Garza said the local group intended to provide on-the-ground perspective to Trump and media in attendance, but that it ‘never discussed\u2019 endorsing Trump or any other presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Despite the great danger Mr. Trump is traveling to Laredo, Texas, to proceed with the visit to the border. Trump\u2019s campaign said in a statement: “It is unfortunate the local union of border patrol agents received pressure at a national level not to participate and ultimately pulled out of today\u2019s event. They are being silenced, and are very unhappy about it, as told directly to Mr. Trump. It can only be assumed that there are things the politicians in Washington do not want Americans to see or discuss.”<\/p>\n

You know, these people are gonna have to learn — and I doubt that they will — that they can\u2019t deal with Trump the way they deal with every standard, ordinary, everyday politician, because he\u2019s not one. He\u2019s a businessman, and if they don\u2019t start looking at him that way and a winning businessman, a competitive business, if they look at him and they continue to try to react to Trump and shape coverage of Trump based on politics, they\u2019re gonna miss this. So whoever\u2019s behind this, they think they\u2019re gonna embarrass Trump, and they think they\u2019re gonna harm Trump by having the Border Patrol union pull out. They\u2019re gonna be with him. They\u2019re not gonna provide assistance, security, whatever.<\/line><\/p>\n

So whoever made this call thinks they\u2019re gonna embarrass Trump and they\u2019re gonna make Trump look bad, and they\u2019re gonna make it look like everybody involved here wants nothing to do with Trump. So what does Trump do? He comes out and says it\u2019s very dangerous where I\u2019m going, but I\u2019m still going, and it\u2019s very unfortunate that somebody in Washington pulled these courageous Border Patrol agents away. It\u2019s obvious the people in Washington have things they don\u2019t want me to see and tell the American people. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re never gonna get the last word with him, and until they stop trying, they\u2019re not gonna figure this out. They\u2019re never gonna get the last word. As long as there are cameras, microphones, and ink next to where Donald Trump is, he\u2019s gonna get the last word. They\u2019re never gonna win this contest. They\u2019re never gonna be able to. <\/p>\n

I opened the program today with a very salient point, I\u2019m gonna remind you again. This is Thursday. It is depending on when you start counting five or six days from when Trump made this supposedly end-of-career statement about John McCain. He was to be gone by now. Remember? He was not gonna be able to survive this. Why, he had stepped in it so bad, he had stepped in it so big, every expert on the Republican and Democrat side, every media expert, every analyst chuckling, laughing, applauding, saying that Trump had finally done what they all knew Trump was gonna do. He was gonna step in it so bad that he couldn\u2019t get out of it, and it\u2019s bye-bye Trump. <\/p>\n

The Washington Post had that, the New York Times, everybody had it. Bye-bye Trump. It was nice knowing you, too bad it didn\u2019t last longer. Well, it\u2019s Thursday, and it\u2019s evidenced now that he\u2019s not been hurt by it. I don\u2019t know if it helped him. I think it probably did. But it has not hurt him. The wizards of smart got it all wrong, because they do not know, they haven\u2019t figured out just what they\u2019re dealing with here. <\/p>\n

They actually have an invader. They have their business. It\u2019s called politics. He\u2019s not one of them. He is not a politician. He is barnstorming into their territory, and, believe me, that is something they resent like you can\u2019t believe. And I say that from personal experience, too. He\u2019s an interloper. He\u2019s coming from where he\u2019s an expert and a success, but he\u2019s not wanted in politics. And he\u2019s not permitted. They\u2019re not gonna let him in the club just cause he wants in. They\u2019re not gonna embrace him. <\/p>\n
