Seattle Caller Thanks El Rushbo, Reagan — and Trump
CALLER: This is the first time I have called you, and everything you just said in the last 20 minutes I agree with completely, completely.
The Trashers of Normalcy Tell Us Trump’s Not Normal
RUSH: It's really from the sixties onward that this current onslaught against this highly developed American culture has been waged. And it's been successful. And I've always claimed from the early days of this program that at its roots — you know, aside from the overthrow of the concept of America, aside from the socialist or communist desires and the ideology behind the protest movement of the sixties. The cultural aspect contained a fervent need and desire, and that was to redefine what was normal — and I've been making this claim since this program began.
Come On Get Unhappy?
RUSH: Do any of you people in the audience know the name Shirley Jones?
You Don’t Want to Hear Me Complain
RUSH: See, I'm not like other people. I can't complain about the things that bother me, because I'm not allowed to complain.
Trump Defends Western Values in Historic Warsaw Speech
RUSH: He's talking about Western civilization, Western values, American culture. This distinct American culture that resulted from our founding that is now under assault, not just from enemies around the world, but from enemies within. That distinctive American culture which has given freedom its greatest repository and chance in the world is under assault.
David Gelernter Destroys the Conservative “Resistance” to Trump
RUSH: I always love it when there are Rush echoes out there, folks. I love it when I find in the pages of major publications points that I've been making, and Mr. Gelernter wrote it. And it's fine; I'm happy to credit him.
In Poland, Trump Plays the Media Again
RUSH: Trump is just masterful at tweaking these people, at playing them off of each other. He knows how to push their buttons. It's funny, because they're sitting there in these press conferences thinking, "This is the day we're gonna destroy Trump! This is the day we're gonna expose Trump. This is the day we're gonna prove that Trump is a poseur. We're gonna prove that Trump's a fraud." And every day it is Trump making fools of them, except they don't know that.
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: The End is Near
RUSH: Blaming Trump for the imminent end to human life sounds ridiculous to normal people. But not to those blinded by liberalism.
The Today Show Blames Me for Dividing America, But All I Really Did Was Break Their Monopoly
RUSH: This show came along in 1988 and blew up that monopoly.
Trump’s Draining the Swamp While Nobody’s Looking
RUSH: Folks, I think some of this chaos is by design. It is a distraction. It's designed to get the media paying attention to themselves or looking elsewhere while Trump does things that they would abhor and despise.
Poll: Issue by Issue, Public Likes GOP Health Care Plan
RUSH: If you just ask "Senate Republican health bill," people by 33% like it; 65% say, "No. No way." But go through it individually, and some of it has 51, 52% majority support.
A Long List of Fake News Stories
RUSH: It would be one thing if the coverage was, for the most part, rooted in at least a foundation of fact, but once that goes out the window, once they start manufacturing it, making it up, and once they've got all these Obama and Clinton embeds remaining in various levels of government who can call anybody in the media and lie about anything, the old days of ignoring it and staying above it are out the window. You have to fight back against it, because they are trying to destroy Trump.
The Blinding Genius of Bill Gates
RUSH: Gates, he arrived at this at a very young age. He's 61 years old and he figured this out. Most people get it when they're 12.
Jeffrey Lord Schools Ryan Lizza on New Media
RUSH: They're supposed to be curious and knowledgeable of what's happening, and they've written off half the country.
Stephen Hawking: Trump Turning Earth Into Venus
RUSH: Stephen Hawking has the respect of practically everybody 'cause he's the smartest physicist, therefore human being, on the planet. But this is insanity. And this is just the latest.
Are Trump and Putin Meeting to Plot the Final Destruction of the Democrat Party?
RUSH: I know they're gonna take it seriously. This is the fun of it. I am openly taunting them here.
Nobody Complained About Paul Ryan Pushing Granny Off the Cliff
RUSH: Here is Pat. Pat’s in Cincinnati. Great to have you, sir. How are you doing? CALLER: Thanks,...CNN Goes Bat Crazy Over Trump Tweet, Threatens to Dox Video Maker
RUSH: Is CNN law enforcement? Is CNN in charge of this guy's constitutional rights? Is CNN this poor guy's gateway to freedom and the First Amendment? Does CNN have the right to tell this guy what he can and cannot do? Does CNN have the right to bully and demand this guy apologize, and then further hold over his head the threat to publicly humiliate him if he does it again?
You Wanted Something Done About the Media, Right? This Is What It Looks Like!
RUSH: For everybody who's wanted something done about the media, this is what it looks like. For everybody's who's complained about "inside-the-Beltway-itis" and how it happens and says we need to drain the swamp or whatever, this is what it looks like. It was never gonna be pretty. It was never going to appear rational or normal.
