Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Welcome Home
RUSH: Some of the illegal immigrants that the Post chose to profile lived in America for decades. They are said to “barely recognize” the Mexico they were forced to return to, and there are other problems. Amalia Garcia, Mexico City’s labor department secretary, complains that “many of these people come not knowing how to speak Spanish.” Not knowing the language of the country they’re living in makes them feel “very bitter, very ashamed, and very hurt.” It does?
I Have Trust in Trump
RUSH: When he talks about creating jobs and keeping jobs in America, I just believe he means it, and I think he means it in his heart, and I think he's hell-bent on following through on it. This is all I mean when I say I trust him to deal with it.
PC Alert! University Bans Scales; Air Force Bans Words
RUSH: The Air Force says words like "boy" and "girl" now can be offensive. That's according to an email sent to airmen at Joint Base San Antonio.
The Gentle Giant Video, Take Two
RUSH: The Michael Brown tape. Have you heard about this? Oh, you haven't? There's a second tape. The Gentle Giant. The secret videotape, no doubt from the Russians.
Fake News Drags Me Into the Weeds on the CBO
RUSH: Now, look at this. CNN has a banner up, or they had one up just moments ago. "Soon: First Briefing Since Health Care Price Tag Revealed." Meaning: Sean Spicer's about to go out there and get scalped.
CNN’s All Hot and Bothered About Rex Tillerson’s Emails
RUSH: CNN's all hot and bothered, folks, 'cause they have an exclusive. You know what it is? Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon, used a secret alias for Exxon emails. (Gasp!) Really?
Why Does Repealing Obamacare Look Just Like Implementing Obamacare?
RUSH: Everybody on both sides admits Obamacare's imploding, do they not? Even the Democrats admit that it is spiraling, quote, unquote, out of control… If we can't come up with something that replaces the biggest disaster in terms of entitlements in our lifetime, what of the rest of the agenda?
Why Nobody But Me Opposed Obama in 2009
RUSH: Here we had the first African-American elected president in the history of the country. I guarantee you, even if they had no fear, there was no way the Republican Party was going to publicly, vividly oppose anything, particularly right off the bat and right out of the box. And Obama and the Democrats knew it.
McCain Keeps the Russia Story Alive
RUSH: Did you see what the Kremlin did? (chuckles) You probably know this. I was off the grid until last night, so… Yeah, this was yesterday. You may have heard this already. It doesn't matter because until you've heard what I think about it, you really haven't heard.
Rush’s Team Wins at Els for Autism!
RUSH: I had the best tournament of my life in terms of golf and how I played. We won the whole thing… It was a wonderful, great day. Weather couldn’t have been better… I’ve been looking forward to telling you about it all night.
Paul Ryan Audio From Last October: I Won’t Defend Trump “Not Now, Not in the Future”
RUSH: Was it about that video or was it meant to imply/state, "I'm not gonna defend Trump on anything ever"? Was it meant to say, "You can have this guy; I'm not gonna go one extra inch to help this guy"? Is that what he meant? Is that what you think? Many people will.
The Crisis Mentality and “Intersectionality”
RUSH: Whether it's the snowflakes who are afraid of whatever they hear that they disagree with, or people afraid of a weather forecast, literally afraid of a weather forecast, or afraid that government won't do something to protect them, we've created a culture of crisis and fear. And many people believe that they're not gonna be able to navigate life without government helping them because everybody seems so willing to accept victim status.
Rush 24/7 Stack of Stuff
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.
