<\/p>\nRUSH: I want to play some sound bites of President Trump today with the nation\u2019s governors at a working business session with them at the White House. And we have three bites. And in the first one, here is the president saying that if Congress doesn\u2019t ban bump stocks, then he will.<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Bump stocks, we\u2019re writing that out, I\u2019m writing that out myself. I don\u2019t care if Congress does it or not. I\u2019m writing it out myself, okay? (applause) You put it into the machine gun category, which is what it is, it becomes essentially a machine gun and nobody\u2019s gonna be able to — it\u2019s gonna be very hard to get \u2019em. So we\u2019re writing out bump stocks.<\/p>\n
RUSH: There you go. Is that how we do it here, the president just writes it out? “If Congress doesn\u2019t do it, then I\u2019m gonna do it. I\u2019m just gonna write \u2019em out.” I know. It worked for Obama. I mean, there were some objections to it from quarters like this one when it happens. But this is, hey, Congress, you\u2019re not gonna do it, I\u2019m gonna do it. Well, hey, why don\u2019t we do that with DACA? At least that\u2019s unconstitutional? Why are we worried about the courts? Why don\u2019t we just end it?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unconstitutional to begin with because of Obama. The whole DACA thing is unconstitutional. We don\u2019t need to wait for a court to say so! We know it! It is! But that March 5th deadline that\u2019s gonna come and go with nothing done on it because the Supreme Court refused to hear the Trump administration\u2019s request to strike it down. The Supreme Court said we\u2019re not gonna do anything on that \u2019til it\u2019s gotten to a lower court. We\u2019re not gonna leap frog the appellate levels here.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s being reported as Supreme Court tells Trump to pound sand on DACA. The Supreme Court did not issue a ruling on DACA up or down. They just said that it\u2019s too early for them to take the case. Next is the president commenting on the performance of the deputies, deputy sheriffs in Broward County.<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: We have to take steps to harden our schools so that they\u2019re less vulnerable to attack. This includes allowing well trained and certified school personnel to carry concealed firearms. At some point, you need volume. I don\u2019t know that a school is gonna be able to hire a hundred security guards that are armed. Plus, you know, I got to watch some deputy sheriffs performing this weekend. They weren\u2019t exactly Medal of Honor winners. The way they performed was, frankly, disgusting. The way they performed was really a disgrace.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s a disgusting disgrace, was what it was. Somebody needs to tell Trump about the PROMISE Program and really set him off, when he finds out that money is being paid for this kind of lax behavior. In fact, maybe that\u2019s the way to do concealed carry. Pay the schools for everybody they hire. If that\u2019s the way we do it, the federal government reimbursing everybody for what policies they want implemented. Finally, Trump said he had lunch with Wayne LaPierre and the NRA and told them that they\u2019re gonna do something, too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: I had lunch with Wayne LaPierre, Chris Cox, and David Lehman of the NRA. And I want to tell you, they want to do something. I said, “Fellas, we gotta something. It\u2019s too long now, and we gotta do something.” And we\u2019re gonna do very strong background checks, very strong. Gotta do background checks. If we see a sicko, I don\u2019t want \u2019em having a gun. I said, “Fellows, we can\u2019t do it anymore.” And there\u2019s no bigger fan of the Second Amendment than me, there\u2019s no bigger fan of the NRA. And these guys are great patriots. They\u2019re great people. And they want to do something. They\u2019re gonna do something. And they\u2019re gonna do it, I think, quickly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) It sure as hell sounds like they\u2019re gonna do something whether they know it or not. They\u2019re gonna do something, they\u2019re gonna do it quickly. We\u2019re gonna have the greatest background checks in the world, greatest background checks ever. Somebody needs to tell the president why some of these perps are not in the background check system. And that would be the Obama-Eric Holder PROMISE Program.<\/p>\n
He told the NRA that they\u2019re gonna do something. What is this, we gotta something? See, this is what happens. We gotta something. We gotta something. We don\u2019t have to do something. You know, all of this pointing fingers the NRA, it\u2019s the easy way out, it doesn\u2019t accomplish anything. The NRA is not responsible here. This is so obviously, crassly politicized now. And this is another thing about our society that really bothers me.<\/p>\n
People have been conditioned to demand and support so-called changes that do something that don\u2019t do anything. There weren\u2019t any bump stocks used in this incident in Florida, so getting rid of bump stocks, fine and dandy, it isn\u2019t gonna change what happened down there. And there\u2019s nothing the NRA could do that would have changed what happened in Florida. They had nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n
And there are so many other gun crimes and incidents that are ignored totally, like you dare not bring up Chicago. You better not. You better not bring up Chicago. You can\u2019t compare. Why? “Well, well, for one thing, they aren\u2019t using AR-15s.” See? It\u2019s all so situational, it\u2019s all tailored to people\u2019s emotions, and goes back to this whole idea that government doesn\u2019t do very much very well, and when they screw it up, we then stupidly turn to government and say, “Fix it.”<\/p>\n
Like some guy designs an airplane that won\u2019t fly. Would we turn to him and say, “Fix it”? No. We\u2019d go find somebody who knows how to design one and use him or her, whoever it might be. Okay, well, that\u2019s that. I just wanted you to hear — the president obviously has seen the internal polling. The internal polling on this must be bad, wouldn\u2019t you say, Mr. Snerdley?<\/p>\n
The internal polling on this, the push polling, the Twitter bots, it must be so bad that everybody in public life is finding the nearest camera and the nearest microphone and apparently the focus groups are saying, “Just say you\u2019ll do something. Just say we\u2019ve gotta do something and that we\u2019re gonna do something, and you\u2019re covered.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
