Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Senor Populist
RUSH: Okay, folks, this guy is not a household name here. His name is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, running for president of Mexico. He’s considered a populist, and he may pull it off, who knows?
RUSH: Okay, folks, this guy is not a household name here. His name is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, running for president of Mexico. He’s considered a populist, and he may pull it off, who knows?
RUSH: I wanted to answer these questions that Chris Matthews had.
RUSH: It is clear (and it should not be a surprise to anybody) that there's a whole bunch of establishment Republicans who have just been waiting for what they think is the time to break away and make a move on Trump.
CALLER: You just got into my head, and you literally took over my views in life, and I turned my views around.
RUSH: I've agreed to appear on Fox News Sunday this Sunday.
RUSH: The Democrats have intended to take a scalp from one of Trump's cabinet nominees. They thought it was gonna Betsy DeVos. They really thought they were gonna stop her, but it looks like Puzder.
RUSH: Do you people remember the movie The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming, back in the sixties?
RUSH: I've earned this microphone. No one gave this to me. I've earned this microphone. I use it each day to enter the arena of ideas, and do whatever I can to persuade you to agree with me. I mean, that's what I'm doing here.
RUSH: If I've had one person ask me, I've had a thousand. "What should Trump do, Rush? What can he do, what can we do, how can we stop this?" I'm gonna tell you what I think is the best thing Donald Trump could do.
RUSH: Let me review for you what’s happened so far in the press conference, because it has elements here that relate to what’s going on with this foreign policy shadow government attempted coup against Trump.
RUSH: Have you seen the story, by the way, that the IRS is going to stop examining your answers to questions on health care going forward? Yeah. You know why? Donald Trump made that happen with an executive order affecting Obamacare.
RUSH: They have constructed this lie to assure themselves that they didn't lose, and that is that the Russians tampered, the Russians hacked, that Trump worked with the Russians, and that they and Hillary and the Democrats got screwed out of what is rightfully theirs, and that is never-ending entitlement to power. They reject an election. They reject and hold in contempt the people who voted in that election, and they're now trying to reverse the results of that election in as undemocratic and un-American a manner as could exist short of a military coup.
RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I go to prep the show.
