Rush Talks to Vice President Pence About the Response to Hurricane Harvey
THE VICE PRESIDENT: We have more than 8,500 federal employees on the ground. We have dozens of Coast Guard assets in the air — fixed wing, helicopter. Coast Guard is involved in rescue operations. And, frankly, you know, the volunteer effort that is also underway where people are heading out, looking after vulnerable neighbors and friends who are stranded in the midst of this historic flood is… It reminds us of everything that's great about being an American. But, look, it's early in this process. We're a hundred percent focused on lifesaving efforts right now.

America Is Under Attack from Within
RUSH: America is under attack from within. Our culture, our history, our founding are under the most direct assault I have seen in my life. And I'm sure it's the same with you. We haven't seen anything like this. You might even get away with saying that we are on the cusp of a second civil war.

Don’t Be Surprised If Bannon Becomes a Media Hero
RUSH: The media could portray Bannon as the only sensible, sane guy in that White House, and he wanted out of there but didn't want to resign, 'cause that's quitting. He wanted to be fired, and that's why he called The American Prospect, and that's why he sold Trump out, because Bannon's the only sane guy in there, and he couldn't take it anymore and he wanted Trump to fire him. I can see them doing that. Anything to get Trump and anything to portray Trump, you know, as unbalanced and a lunatic.

Are Republicans Knowingly Joining the Left or Are They Just Scared?
RUSH: I do think there are some Republicans that are stupid, that are not conniving and calculating. They're really stupid and they get suckered by all of this flowery language, and they think it's just safer to join. Once a mob forms against anybody, it's just safer to join the mob than to stand up and defend whoever's under assault.
