CALLER: I'm a Republican, my wife's Democrat, and when I was talking to her, 'cause she's sitting there whining that (impression) "Trump's doing everything else…" I'm saying, "Well, you know, I felt the same way when Obama got elected, and you didn't hear me cry." Oh, World War III started.
Liberalism Ruined California
CALLER: I'm native born. My family is here. My boys are law enforcement. Once they retire, they say we're outta here, but then you look back and you say, if all the conservatives leave California, I mean, then California has no chance. It's a beautiful state.
The Racism of Jorge Ramos
RUSH: Tucker Carlson is saying that what we need to do, what Trump wants to do, is set up an immigration system where people come here, can support themselves, want to work, want to become Americans, cutting down on the number of people that cannot support themselves financially. And Tucker says to Jorge Ramos, "I think a lot of people hear that and they think it makes sense. Are they wrong?"
Bill Clinton’s Back and Hating Trump’s America
RUSH: Really, we're gonna have Bill Clinton lecturing us on personal decency? I want to translate this for you. When Clinton says people who claim to want the nation state are actually trying to have a pan-national movement to institutionalize separatism and division within borders all over the world, in human-speak, Bill Clinton wants open borders.
Frustrated Trump Voter: The Deep State Starts with Ryan and McConnell
RUSH: Don’t anybody misunderstand. I know exactly how our last caller feels. I know you probably agree with him. Everybody’s frustrated.

Every Economic Indicator Is Up Under Trump
RUSH: On the good Trump economic news, I just want to share with you how the Drive-Bys are trying to cast it as negative. The AP is not happy, not happy with the robust Trump job numbers.
Nate Silver, Still Trying to Figure Out Why Hillary Lost, Stumbles into the Truth
RUSH: Conventional wisdom has also become a marker or a measurement for intelligence and perceptiveness inside the Beltway. And here comes Nate Silver today to blow it up.

A Crisis Will Come Along That Isn’t About Trump
RUSH: There's gonna be a crisis somewhere in this country or in the world that will not be about Trump, that is going to require Trump to deal with it.
Taking On the Establishment Was Always Going to Be Like This
RUSH: Let me ask you a question, folks. You've listened to me, you listen to me daily, you listen to me hourly, you listen to me by the minute, and therefore there's nothing that you don't know. It just depends on how much you remember. How many of you expected Donald Trump to be loved and adored by a significant percentage of the people in Washington? I didn't. I thought he would be hated and reviled for as many terms as he's there.
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.
Rush 24/7 Morning Update: EPA Nightmare
RUSH: The Times says Pruitt’s EPA leadership is “fundamentally at odds with career officials, scientists, and employees who carry out the agency’s mission.” Pruitt’s changes are causing strife and gridlock. Clean air and water and the future of the planet are at risk!
The Trump Boom Continues
RUSH: I've always said you know when there's a booming economy or not because you feel it. You don't need to be told. You can see it, you experience it, somehow or other you know it. And we never had a sense of that with Obama.
Why 90% of Americans Support Trump’s Infrastructure Stimulus
RUSH: I think it's just a simple matter of trusting Trump when he says this is what he's gonna do, plus he's a builder. And they look at Trump's properties, they see the buildings and other things that Trump has built, and they are all modern, and they're all state-of-the-art, and they all look cool. And this is what Trump's expertise is. And I think people agree with Trump when he runs around complaining about the state of infrastructure in this country.
Republicans Stuck on the Same Old 60 Votes Excuse
RUSH: They've got 52 votes. But then what would happen if they got 60, then Senators Graham and McCain would defect on everything. Then they'd say, "We're really only going in with 58."
A Feminazi Tweet and Cate Blanchett’s Moral Compass

How the Student Loan Program Is Killing ESPN
RUSH: Now, why are Millennials cutting the cord? They don't have the money. They simply don't have the money to spend on cable and this and that and why don't they? Well, the college graduate liberals, the vast majority of them have 40,000 to $250,000 in student loans, which the federal government under Obama took control of from the banks in this country.
McConnell Drives Stake Through the Heart of Two Trump Objectives
RUSH: Look, I keep repeating this, but the people in the Washington establishment and many on the Republican side, it's not just they want Trump to fail; they want Trump destroyed.

Paul Ryan Explains His Health Care Bill, Joined in Progress
RUSH: So what it boils down to, folks, and I know you've heard this before and you're tired of hearing it. Apparently the reason why this cannot be totally repealed and then fixed is because the Republicans do not have 60 seats in the Senate. Well, now, you might get mad at that. It's an excuse that they have used ever since 2010 to one degree or another.
