So he sent the message back that if you don't like me here you're gonna have to fire me 'cause I'm not gonna resign.

Why Aren’t Republicans Worried About Breaking Their Obamacare Promise?
RUSH: There just doesn't seem to be all that much concern in the Senate about punishment for not repealing Obamacare. We're told it's the most important thing in their lives, the number one, two, three, four, five priority, getting reelected. And yet not repealing Obamacare is guaranteed to lose. They are guaranteed to lose. Why are they not worried about it? I don't pretend to have the answer.
Trump Voters Could Stay Home in 2018, But They Won’t Vote for Democrats
RUSH: I'm telling you — do not doubt me on this — Trump was elected because a majority of his voters thinks the left needs to be stopped and he was the only vehicle for it. I'm not saying there was not an emotional connection to Trump. There was. I was the first to categorize it, explain it, and detail it for people. And it's deep.
Reuters Produces Fake Poll That Shows Erosion of Trump’s Base
RUSH: Now the polling data is starting to come out, part of what Mr. Snerdley says is all hell breaking loose in the last 24 hours.

I Almost Scheduled a Vacation for EIB Anniversary Week!
RUSH: I will be here. It will probably end up being a good thing, because if you think all hell broke loose, you know, whenever I'm gone it really breaks loose. So being here will moderate things.

Obama Unmasking Investigation Focuses on Samantha Power
RUSH: All of these leaks involving unmasked Americans, those are felonies. Those are illegal. The media is printing this stuff… I'm not surprised that Samantha Power has now been said to be at the top of the list of suspects who might be engaging in it… I think the big scandal is the media knows who the felons are, the media are willing accomplices to this felonious behavior. And it may be one of the biggest scandals in our nation's history.
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.

The Brilliance of Professor Hazlett’s Book

A Marine Corps Veteran Still Fighting to Save Her Country
CALLER: I'm a United States Marine Corps veteran. I served under Reagan. My son is serving in the Air Force under Trump. I've been watching and listening to politics since I was 15, and what I've began to see is something you've been hitting on, and I think you're right about it… I really believe that we need to get on the phones. We, the people, have a voice, not just every four years. We have a voice. We have to get up and start talking, start saying no. You Democrats keep this up, you Republicans who are really Democrats 'cause you're all just progressives, cut it out or get out.
It’s a Crime to Meet a Russian
RUSH: It doesn't matter who the Russians are, it's a crime to talk to 'em. And if you're Trump and you have a 10-minute sidebar at the dinner table, it gets blown up into a secret two-hour meeting.
