Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Good Times Roll
RUSH: Obama is gone so let the good times roll in a hot, new SUV, if that’s your choice. It's up to you.
Book Reveals Journalists Knew About Mean, Lousy Candidate Hillary
RUSH: We've always heard about the Clintons that they behave, particularly Hillary, as above-everyone-type of royalty where you're not even allowed to look at her, much less speak to her. You must go through an intermediary. We've always heard this about her. This book lends some credence to that.
Mullah Marx? Hitler, Socialists, Communists, and Islam
RUSH: What is it that's held this country together? What is the glue? We are the only country like ours. And when we were founded, there was nothing ever even close: A constitutional republic. We have a document of not very many pages that says "what is," and for hundreds of years, everybody that we've elected — with a few short exceptions — have honored it just because it exists. It's just a piece of paper.
Fareed Zakaria GPS Makes Rush’s Day with Syrian Red Line Bit
RUSH: Fareed Zakaria GPS has made my day by bringing my joke not only to life, but making it live in reality. And then this final line, "Two senior Obama officials I spoke with told me that were Obama still president, he would have likely ordered a strike that was similar, if not identical in scope." But he never did. Syria was allowed to cross Obama's red line I don't know how many times. At least eight.
Never Trumpers Crow About Trump Listening to Them
RUSH: All of these establishment people now go crowing about the fact that Trump's finally becoming presidential now that he's speaking to moderates in Washington. They're giving him the right policy on taxes. They're giving him the right policy on Syria and the Middle East and giving him the right policy on immigration and so forth. Damn establishment editorial op-ed people.
A Revolutionary Idea for Tax Reform Is Percolating
RUSH: Imagine tax reform, a tax reform plan that eliminates FICA, that eliminates the payroll tax, which is the primary funding mechanism for Social Security. Imagine a tax reform plan that does away with that. That is a 12.6% tax elimination from everybody. Everybody pays it, even people that don't pay income tax pay payroll tax.
Georgia GOP’s Circular Firing Squad in Special Election
RUSH: The Democrats' agenda doesn't exist, at least not one that they can admit publicly. Their complete strategy is, "Vote for us. We are not Trump." They continue to lie to themselves. They continue to mislead themselves. They continue to live in this land of false hope where they believe their dreams and their hopes and their desires are in fact reality and that everybody shares the same dreams.
American Flag Outrages Leftist Sportswriters
RUSH: Privately, I've been waiting for this. "NBC Sports: U.S. Flag at Baseball Games Too Political — When the Atlanta Braves unfurled a gigantic flag for the playing of the national anthem, it prompted an ultra sensitive member of the partisan media and his Twitter followers to express a whole host of ridiculous claims."
U of Wisconsin Offers Free Tampons … in Men’s Room
RUSH: University of Wisconsin-Madison is offering free tampons in the men's bathroom, a new pilot program to provide free menstrual products in several of its campus bathrooms, including some men's restrooms.
Media Is Desperate for a Scalp, and Bannon’s Will Do
RUSH: This is the kind of stuff that Bannon supporters should not be saying. This is not cool. This is positioning Bannon as the reason Trump's who he is. This positions Bannon as the guy who makes Trump possible.
Drive-Bys Credit Obama for Failed Nork Missile
RUSH: The ChiComs were supposed to make mincemeat of Trump. And it turns out that the Norks are losing patronage from the ChiComs because the ChiComs told the Norks not to do another nuke test, and the Norks didn’t. They didn’t do another nuke test, as they had promised. Instead, they launched one of their medium range, a new medium range ballistic missile in celebration of this gigantic parade the little potbellied dictator presided over. And that’s the missile that blew up within seconds of launching.
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.
