RUSH: Dan in Wilmington, Delaware. Glad you waited. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Mega dittos and I\u2019m gonna throw in a semper fi. I am of the opinion that Sessions should have been canned outright the day he refused himself.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Can you hang on here for a second since you just brought that up? I want to play a sound bite, and I want you to react to it. You mind if I do this?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, go ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It will be like a test-marketing little miniature survey. Hang on with me. This is CNN today. Fredo Cuomo was speaking with David Gregory, who\u2019s a former host of Meet the Press and he\u2019s now an analyst at CNN, and Fredo said to David Gregory, “What do you make of the posturing towards the attorney general by our president?” It\u2019s what Gregory says here, Dan, that I want you to listen to and react to.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/NATIVISTGREGORY-300x166.jpg\")
GREGORY: This president wants to shame Jeff Sessions into resigning. He has no regard for the independence of the Department of Justice or the rule of law. I think he\u2019ll fire his attorney general. I think he may make a move on the special counsel. Does the president think that he\u2019s going to get some loyalist to him confirmed by the United States Senate? I mean, that is crazy. I think Republicans might on this one finally balk a little bit, given how popular Sessions is among conservatives and indeed among the kind of, you know, nativist right that counts as a big part of Trump nation.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay, Dan, so you are part of the nativist, nationalistic populist right, and you love Sessions, and Gregory thinks that you\u2019re gonna be fit to be tied at Trump if he gets rid of Sessions. But I don\u2019t think I heard you say that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, I did not say that. I\u2019m also a proud deplorable. If you go back to the day after the election when the Democrats pushed this deal about Russia and they pushed it and they pushed it and just kept going and going for months and months and months. And then all at once they got Flynn. Nobody knows why they got Flynn, but they got Flynn.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s look at the Trump hierarchy. Who in that Trump hierarchy could they roll? They weren\u2019t gonna roll the family. They weren\u2019t gonna roll the tight grip that surrounds Trump, the six or eight people that surround Trump. They\u2019re not gonna roll them. Who\u2019s the outsider here that they could possibly roll and open this thing up immeasurably? And that would be Jeff Sessions. Jeff Sessions shook hands with the ambassador something, some kind of meet-and-greet or something.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Ho-ho.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And that was his crime. And now we\u2019ve got Sessions recusing himself. He didn\u2019t look over his shoulder to see who was behind him. And we got the fellow that I call — well, let\u2019s not get into that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Aw, come on, why not? Tell me why not.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, I\u2019d rather not right now, Rush. But the Rosenstein. They got Rosenstein from Baltimore, Maryland, the hotbed of conservatism. They\u2019ve got a whole bunch of people behind him who are all probably Obama holdovers.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: So when they got rid of Sessions, they opened up that whole left flank about the Russian thing —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay, so let me cut to the chase.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — somebody in that system —<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DriveByCombat-Drive-Bys.jpg\")
RUSH: Let me cut to the chase. What the left thinks, the media thinks that so many of Trump\u2019s supporters love Sessions. They think this of Bannon too. They think that you love Sessions, that you are nativists and that you are conservatives, and you love Sessions because of immigration, and if Trump fires him, you are gonna stand with Sessions. And what I hear you saying is you think Sessions should have been gone after he recused himself, that he —<\/p>\n
CALLER: On the get-go. And the thing is when he opened this whole thing up, as they say with a vacuum, somebody\u2019s gotta fill it, and this time it was all the Democratic legal people.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: They filled that vacuum, and — well, I\u2019m gonna say it anyway. Pajama Boy from Maryland, pajama man now I guess —<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019re talking about Rosenstein, I guess, Pajama Boy.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, I am.<\/p>\n
RUSH: ‘Cause there\u2019s a lot of pajama boys up there. You have to identify which one you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Pajama man. He\u2019s older than a boy. Pajama man.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, here\u2019s the point of this, folks. Here\u2019s the point. I maintain to you once again that the Drive-Bys and the left still don\u2019t know the people that voted for Donald Trump. They have been living under a misconception of who voted for Trump and why from the moment Trump began to build this bond with his voters during the primaries. You hear Gregory there, I\u2019m sure he speaks for all, nativist.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not a complimentary term, by the way. You know what nativist is? You nativists, to hell with the rest of the world. As far as you\u2019re concerned, it can burn. You don\u2019t care. You\u2019re tired of paying for it, and you\u2019re tired of giving foreign aid to it, and you\u2019re tired of being run by it. To hell with them! You want a wall and America\u2019s gonna be great. If somebody wants to help us and join us be great, that\u2019s fine. But that\u2019s what they think you are. That\u2019s what they think the average Trump voter is. And a nativist is also, by definition, a conservative. They hate conservatives too.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Sessions2-1.jpg\")
So they think that Trump firing Sessions will essentially be a betrayal of Trump voters. What they don\u2019t get at least in the case of Dan here — and I\u2019m sure that he represents a certain percentage of thinking among Trump voters — that Trump isn\u2019t the problem here, that Sessions is. And that if Trump does fire him, it\u2019s not gonna hurt Trump with these people.<\/p>\n
But they are so focused, the media, the establishment, they are so focused on being able to damage Trump and say that they did it, that they are applying the normal thinking and behavioral patterns of inside-the-Beltway and the swamp and projecting that onto Trump and his voters, and it\u2019s not close. So they still are laboring under a massive misconception here.<\/p>\n
In other words, they think Trump firing Sessions would be one of the beginnings of Trump breaking his bond with you. And from what I\u2019m hearing, Trump supporters think that Sessions should not have recused himself, they haven\u2019t been happy from the moment he did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
