Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Extra Security
RUSH: The danger is real. The vicious left is exploding in unhinged fury and the Drive-By Media continues to help foment the hate.
Peace Through Desalinization?
RUSH: This is a fascinating premise, but the desalinization of saltwater, you know, this is now done by nuclear reactor on our nuclear subs.
Democrats Turn Introspective
RUSH: The Democrats are being introspective for the first time in a long time about why they keep losing. And man, oh, man, Andrew Sullivan has a piece asking: Why does everybody feel so sorry for Hillary Clinton?
Young Listener Seeks Advice on Standing Up to Conventional Wisdom
RUSH: My instincts have always been conservative. I have never wavered from them in any way. My core beliefs are what they've always been, and they've never been negotiable or up for grabs. I've never been tempted. I've never believed I was wrong. Meaning, I've never believed that I made the wrong choice in matters of ideology.
Trump’s Policies Are Popular
CALLER: A quick observation and a very short prediction. You astutely pointed out in November that Barack Obama was very popular, had high personal approval ratings, yet his policies were unpopular. And my observation is, I think Trump, although his personal approval ratings are slightly improving, it doesn't really matter. People like his policies.
Where Were All the Stories on Obama’s Aides?
RUSH: How much did we know about Barack Obama and all the influence? They tried to hide the influence of Bill Ayers. They tried to hide the influence of Bernardine Dohrn. They tried to hide the influence of Rashid Khalidi. The LA Times still will not release a tape of Khalidi endorsing Obama back in 2008 at a luncheon, and this was one of the biggest anti-Israeli screeds that somebody supposedly made.
My Brother’s New Book: The True Jesus
RUSH: My brother has become devotedly Christian and religious, and he's fascinated by it in the scholarship sense. He has, like my father, read the Bible numerous times and is constantly seeking to understand it so as to be able to explain it to others and to answer other people's questions. And he's desperately desirous that as many people as possible try to learn the story of Christ and the gospels, as would anybody be who is passionate about anything.
Palace Intrigue at the White House
RUSH: I have never seen a presidential aide or adviser so focused on, so often reported on, as Steve Bannon. I've never seen it. I can't think of any presidential adviser who, by the way, when the subject of the reporting is, "Will this guy last? Can we get rid of this guy? Is this guy losing the power struggle?"
New York Times Bases Story on Our Thursday Show
RUSH: Remember, I opened the program asking a number of you Trump supporters if you're starting to feel betrayed over Trump flip-flopping, apparently, on the Export-Import Bank and what you think he said about not intervening militarily in other countries like Syria and the ChiComs and currency manipulation. The New York Times obviously was listening, because they based a story around the whole premise.
Deep State Environmentalist Wackos at EPA Resist Trump Policies
RUSH: At some point, after 30 years of following all these silly guidelines, you would expect there to be a noticeable reduction in the warming of the planet.
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.
Judge Napolitano Was Right! The World Was Spying on Donald Trump
RUSH: What has now been established, the world was spying on Donald Trump. Obama had seen to it after the Brits clued him in I guess is the timeline this story wants to advance. The world was spying on Trump. And even with all of that Hillary couldn’t win. Even with the establishment of the world aligned against Donald Trump and in support of Hillary Clinton, she couldn’t win.
