RUSH: For our caller, the reason he got on board the Trump train at the outset? Immigration. On that basis you would have to say Trump is succeeding with flying colors. But you heard him say that if he gets rid of Sessions, that's not gonna sit well out there with the Trumpists because Sessions was one of the early guys, and it's gonna make them question Trump's loyalty in all this.
RUSH: I have Trump’s tweets for the last two days, and let’s review these things, and I’ll see if I can pick out the ones that our caller was talking about.
RUSH: The Republicans run the show. It's time for the Republicans to start acting like it. Politics is what it is. The Republicans don't appear to want to play the game. I know the old saw: They didn't think they were gonna win, therefore they weren't prepared. So what? They did win. It ought to be euphoric. It ought to be exciting. Apparently it isn't.
RUSH: Fifteen hours a week. Is it really too much to ask?
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I got a cryptic email this morning from a friend who said that a friend of his, who I know (all these people must remain nameless) has been charged with some serious vetting of people. The administration, the Trump administration is vetting people as they would if they were considering somebody for cabinet secretary or similar position in the bureaucracy.
RUSH: If you have a daughter, he's the guy you would want your daughter to marry. He's the kind of guy you'd like to have as your son. He's just… I don't want to ruin his image by saying "clean cut" but the guy is just cultured and mannered. He had one of the greatest acceptance speeches yesterday.
RUSH: They have a body camera on everybody, because they get up every day thinking that day is gonna be the day that some bombshell is discovered, that they're gonna be able to get rid of Trump by sundown that day, and this is what is motivating them.
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: White House shakeup last Friday. Sean Spicer out as the communications director and a friend of the president, Anthony Scaramucci, was named as his replacement.
RUSH: Every conversation I have on this with a medical professional — or the wife of one in this case — if you listen carefully, it is inarguable that all of these problems are the result of government involvement and government policy, government restrictions, government favoritism.
RUSH: I'm flattered that you want this program to reach the ears and the minds and hearts of your generation and your friends. We do too. I think we could be, to quote Scaramucci, "phenomenally successful" in such an outreach.
CALLER: Raving Randall, as we like to call him, or Poppy as his grandchildren affectionately refer to him, raised the four of us kids listening to your show as we took our motor home on trips out West, touring the United States, visiting National Parks and learning about our country. And I wanted to take this unique opportunity to surprise him.
RUSH: I happen to think that Chris Wallace is the best Sunday show host on all the networks today. I think that Chris Wallace's voice and his presence has more weight and seriousness than any of the other shows. He's a throwback to the days when the Sunday shows really had power, when they really mattered.
RUSH: Aside from the fact that I can't believe anybody in my audience was gonna vote for Bernie Sanders, your point is right on the money.
RUSH: Scaramucci, he's a Trumper. He's from outside. He's a battler. He's a fighter. I think Trump has tried to work with the Republican Party by meeting them halfway within their universe and is discovering that it isn't working. So I think he's gonna go get friends of his from the outside as often and as many places as he can. That's my instinctive, first reaction here.
RUSH: The premise is, imagine the South had won the Civil War and that slavery was the order of the day nationwide… Well, the premise is really gonna be: We haven’t gotten rid of slavery.
RUSH: You ready for this? Seventy-four percent of the American people say they have never felt better and are very happy.
RUSH: In my mind, Trump would be perfectly within his rights to shut this down. There's nothing about this that has followed regulations.
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.
