RUSH: Its John in Madison, Alabama. Great to have you, sir. Hi.
CALLER: Its an honor, Rush. Youve been saying that the only person thats gonna separate Trump from his supporters is Trump, and I believe that if he gets rid of Jeff Sessions, that will be the beginning of that. Especially if he replaces him with another New Yorker, somebody like Rudy Giuliani, who was not In fact, if I remember Rudy was anti-gun and Rudy was also pro-amnesty.
RUSH: Uhhhhh, ayyyyy . Im not sure about amnesty. I know that Rudy at times in his life, depending on the state of his marriage, was pro-choice.
CALLER: (laughing) Okay.
RUSH: Which is true for a lot of male politicians, by the way.
CALLER: Okay.
RUSH: It depends on what their wives think.
CALLER: Well, your other guest and you talking about the tweets? I agree with everything. In fact, I was a Trumpster from the first minute. But a lot of it was over the border and illegal immigration and believing that this might be this countrys last chance if we dont get somebody in there that can start turning this around. Jeff Sessions fits that. I know hes upset, you know, whatever. But hes gonna have a tough time finding somebody You know, theres gonna be very few people that support him, and Sessions was one of those guys.
RUSH: Well, lets just keep it at you for just a minute.
CALLER: Okay.
RUSH: Well try to figure out whether youre a typical Trumpster or not in just a second. Are you ? I just want to nail you down. Are you saying that Trump would lose some luster in your eyes if he gets rid of Sessions?
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Regardless of what he replaces with, you think that would be a bad move?
CALLER: Yes, that would lose some luster. But its beginning to look more and more like hes You were saying it real well earlier: When in charge, be in charge. Im seeing in Trump I thought I saw a tough guy, supposedly. Im seeing a wimp beginning to show up, and hes beginning to bring in people
RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Lets not just skate right by that. Youre beginning to see a wimp show up? What do you mean?
CALLER: Well, you were talking about it earlier. If youre in charge of something, be in charge of it.
RUSH: Oh, you mean the bystander comment that I made?
CALLER: He has to fire those people like you said early on. Get rid of those embeds up there. Go into that swamp and start doing some things, not sittin around sending out tweets about it.
RUSH: Right. So the bystander comment resonated with you?
CALLER: Yeah. You said it real well, but I was thinking it also. Now, this is something from my past. I was a soldier, and Ive been in tactical operations centers when things started going bad, and you can start seeing in people when they start to close in and get tighter as things happen instead of reaching out to everybody. Trump seems to be bringing in The other day when he brought in Scaramucci? I dont know how good Scaramucci is or not. But hes another Manhattan type. He was elected in a movement thats out here in the rest of the country. Manhattan didnt elect him, people out here did
RUSH: Yeah. (sigh)
CALLER: to do things for the rest of the country, and when you start talking about the swamp? You know this. A lot of that swamp money, that K Street money comes right out of Wall Street. So that swamp, some of it is coming from right in New York City there. So you keep bringing in people from there? Its just beginning to look like those talks when people started getting scared when things starting getting tight. I didnt think Id see that.
RUSH: Hang on. Let me try a different angle here with you. What if he brings Scaramucci in
CALLER: Whats that?
RUSH: Let me ask you the question. Are you having trouble hearing me? It wouldnt be your faults if you are. I just need to ask.
CALLER: No, I got bad hearing, too. (chuckles)
RUSH: No, but can you hear had he or not?
CALLER: I can hear you.
RUSH: Okay. Our phone system is such that we cannot talk Well, you cant hear me if youre speaking and Im trying to respond to you.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: Its our phone system.
CALLER: Okay.
RUSH: Anyway, Scaramucci is what you say, and he does Theyve had to delete a bunch of his tweets because theyre all left all the time. Hes pro-climate change. Hes pro this; hes pro that. So theyve had to get rid of those tweets. What if he brings Scaramucci in because Scaramucci is more of a loyalist fighter than whoever he is replacing here?
CALLER: Well, thats assuming hell actually fight and not cut-and-run.
RUSH: Well, so far it looks like he is!
CALLER: Well, hopefully. I dont want it to be too much about Scaramucci personally. Its just that the point I was making is when Im seeing people really get stressed people who were losing their nerve they started pulling in as opposed to reaching out, and Scaramucci is somebody hes comfortable with so hes pulling in all these Hes bringing in all this comfortable stuff, not necessarily the people that might be the best people there.
RUSH: Okay. I appreciate the call. I get it. Look, we have a Trumpist from day one who is Well, hes got some concern. You heard him. And it was immigration that brought him in. Theres some things that we need to note here, though. Weve done it before. Weve talked about it on numerous occasions. But we now have an even more vivid example. Illegal immigration is way, way down, even though there is no new legislation per se. All there is, is a doubtless commitment from the White House on down to get tough on it.
Whether there is new legislation or not, whether theres a wall or not, the illegal, the would-be illegals around the world are not seeking entry. Theyre not trying, they are not getting into this country in near the numbers they were. It is way, way down. In other words, it is a humongous success, and all that has happened is a stated intention to eliminate it by building a wall and other such things, enforcement policies by ICE, the laws on the books being enforced, which they havent been.
Now, here is the piece de resistance. Los Angeles Times. Ready for this headline? California Farmers Bemoan Loss of Illegal Alien Workers, Robots In California, farmers growing fruits and vegetables are increasingly upset at the prospect of having to either upgrade to robotic technology or offer higher wages and benefits to get their crops picked. The [Los Angeles Times] story begins with a discussion of AgroBot, a contraption in use which picks strawberries.
Did you know there were robots out there picking strawberries called the AgroBot? Now, heres something in this LA Times story. The LA Times has actually found an executive at a company that supplies labor to [farmers and] agricultural interests who is willing to come out on the record and admit that the industry has been knowingly hiring illegal aliens and participating in a scheme involving forged documents. Now, heres the upshot of this.
Because people around the world are aware and believe that Trump means it that were gonna eliminate illegal immigration were gonna build a wall, were gonna enforce the law, were gonna deport, were gonna do all that fewer of them are coming in. So many fewer are coming in that farmers in California are having to raise wages or go robot to get their strawberries and other crops picked. This is causing an executive at a company to admit, quote, Weve been masking this problem all these years with a system that basically allowed you to accept fraudulent documents as legal, and thats whats been keeping this workforce growing.
Steve Scaroni Fresh Harvest is the name of the company. Theyre among the biggest recruiters of farm labor. He says, And now we find out we dont have much of a labor force up here, at least a legal one. So weve had a guy who has admittedly now been accepting forged documents, has been participating in the hiring of illegals, has been facilitating it, has been making it possible. Things have so drastically changed that this guy has been forced out of the woodwork to admit whats going on.
The reason is there arent enough new immigrants for the states nearly half-million farm labor jobs especially as Mexico creates competing manufacturing jobs in its own cities. He has calculated that the pool of potential immigrants from rural Mexico shrinks every year by about 150,000 people. Now, its worth it pointing out that the LA Times, even in this story, does not refer to them as illegal immigrants. They just talk about them as immigrants.
For example, it says here, He has calculated that the pool of potential immigrants from No, no. Theyre talking illegals here. Thats what this story is all about. The illegal immigrant market is way down. Theyre not trying to get in. That means the farmers are having to pay higher prices for people that already live in the country, higher wages. Its a story about illegal immigration. Not immigration. But the LA Times doesnt put illegal anywhere in the story in front of the word immigrant.
So my point is, even without legislation having been passed, all thats happened is a threat to build a wall and steps underway to do it a constant promise to build the wall, to deport, to enforce existing law and its already working. There are many other things. Manufacturing jobs are on the uptick. We all know Wall Streets going gangbusters because theyre expecting a major economic uptick with forthcoming Trump tax policy and so forth. The opportunity is golden! And oftentimes it doesnt even require hard government action to bring about a result, just a stated intent.
And a stated intent that everybody believes. So for our caller, the reason he got on board the Trump train at the outset? Immigration. On that basis you would have to say Trump is succeeding with flying colors. But you heard him say that if he gets rid of Sessions, thats not gonna sit well out there with the Trumpists because Sessions was one of the early guys, and its gonna make them question Trumps loyalty in all this.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!!
REpublicans are Gentlemen.....Democrats are no such thing!
Sessions needs to hire 10 conservative bulldogs to take names and kick ass while firing RosenKrantz. Then he can remain and continue to be the “good” cop.
Sessions needs to hire 10 conservative bulldog assistants to take names and kick ass while firing RosenKrantz. Then he can remain and continue to be the “good” cop.
LOL. Slow rolling doing nothing.
What a gig to land.
He is a Trees not Forest type of legalist: The picayune has more influence on him than the spectacular; hence, the recusal over a triviality that appeases de facto sedition and even treason.
He is either a Swamp Creature or a Petty Fussbudget. Either way, he is perhaps the biggest stop in the drain.
We need fighters, not fretters. Let him go be “honorable” in a retirement home.
They only pretend to be gentlemen. They are much less cowardly and much more corrupt than they affect.
They want you to think they are cowards, so you will not see them as traitors.
Some of you dishes but Rush is so scripted. I heard the caller who did a ten minute advertisement for Rush including signing up for the website, and Rush discusses the over the top flattery with perfect “humility “.
Strike one...no grand jury empaneled to investigate Hillary/Obama crimes.
Strike two...appointing Mueller.
Strike three...expanding civil forfieture.
What we need is someone who has never served in the federal government and has no ties to anyone in the justice dept.
Has the a-hole quit commenting on your Rush threads?
“I dont think that the caller understands what the swamp is.”
I don’t either. President Trump needs a more aggressive AG in these times. After 6 months in office Trump can see what is required.
I’m totally disappointed with AG Sessions. Asset forfeiture is one of the ways the beast is fed.
There should be some form of asset forfeiture but the money can’t go anywhere but to the general treasury. No sharing, no commissions and no disbursements to local, county, state, or federal police, and all asset forfeiture action starts and ends with the DOJ — not an option for local police without getting DOJ approval.
Now he’s going to bust some pot growers? Dude, what happend to the Opioid problem?
Trump is right. Though Sessions felt it necessary for him to recuse himself, I think it was a selfish act to keep his distance from the President — at a time where I think he should be close to the president fending the seditious press and certain members of the Left.
Every time they put the heat on the President, Sessions should be there putting the heat on Hillary.
I think Trump is correct. I also like Sessions.
If Sessions had even an inkling that he’d recuse before Trump announced his name as the new AG, then Sessions should have let Trump know that.
He owed him that.
To be honest, I didn’t want Sessions in the cabinet at all. Because of his seniority, I wanted him to stay in the Senate.
Sleazy Adam Schiff, the totally biased Congressman looking into 'Russia,' spends all of his time on television pushing the Dem loss excuse!
"Sleazy Adam Schiff." LMAO.
GOOD POINT!!! They are COWARDS!!!
Bingo! Any basic chess player would have known beforehand that this “recusal” issue was coming. Yet these dunderheads failed to anticipate it, and now we have this AG issue to resolve in a highly-politicized environment. Fire his ass, NOW, and get a bulldog as the AG. If Rat heads were rolling a couple months ago, the focus would be entirely different by now. Really pi$$es me off.
Dump Priebus, move Sessions to the White House as Chief of Staff and put Rudy or some other pitbull in at AG to start balancing out the investigations.....
I haven’t seen that loser today, but believe me I am prepared.
