RUSH: Hey, folks, are you getting tired of winning yet? Ha-ha-ha. Getting tired of winning? Fauxcahontas does the rain dance all for naught. Jeff Sessions was sworn in as the attorney general today. And Chuck You Schumer is now demanding that the Trump nominee for the Department of Labor, a man by the name of Andrew Puzder, resign. That he just recuse himself ’cause he’s so anti-labor, so anti-workingman, that he just ought to quit, he ought to just remove himself from the process. Here is Sessions being sworn in. Well, this is afterwards, after he has taken the oath.
RUSH: And he went on to say that he thinks the president’s executive order that’s currently bottled up at the Ninth Circuit court of appeals is perfectly fine. By the way, speaking of that, speaking of the Ninth Circus, before we get to Judge Gorsuch and what’s going on with that whole circumstance — oh, did you hear Kellyanne Conway was on Fox today, urged people to go out and buy Ivanka Trump stuff? (laughing) Did you hear that? You know, I’ve had people sending me email: “Are you not concerned by any of this? I mean, some of this, Rush, if it were a Democrat president doing some of this, you’d be up in arms.”
And I love the people in the media saying, “I can’t believe he’s having Conway go out and tell people to buy his daughter’s products. It’s an ethics violation!” I just love it. I love them going batty because I am not, as a citizen or a human being, personally threatened or bothered, nor do I think the country hangs in the balance because of any of the things that Trump is doing. I’m just enjoying the left acting like a bunch of stuck pigs, and the fact is they keep losing and they’re going to keep losing.
TIME magazine has Chuck Schumer on the cover, and the headline: “Do the Democrats Matter Anymore?” There’s a piece here Slate.com, or Salon, I forget which talking about, well, you know, you can say what you want about Elizabeth Warren or whatever you want, but McConnell got everything he wanted. Sessions has been confirmed and has taken the oath of office. It’s dawning on them that they can protest all day, they can burn up buildings all day, they can throw bombs, they can stop people from speaking, but they have no power.
Meanwhile, over the right they’re wringing their hands over whether this is conservatism or nationalism or populism and is it good or bad or what have. I think all that stuff’s gonna shake itself out. So many people are in a near panic mode, and I’m not because of the circumstances I find the left in. Now, I know some of you say, “But, Rush, don’t you realize that there’s more going on here than just the left losing. I mean, in the process of the left losing there might be some things going on that might not be –” Yeah, yeah, yeah, when those things happen I’ll tell you when I feel that way, folks.
But I don’t think Trump trashing Nordstrom is a problem and I don’t think that Kellyanne Conway advocating that the press go out and buy is a problem. I love it to be honest with you. (laughing) hee-hee-hee-hee. I just do. But you have to understand, too, what the president’s doing with Nordstrom look, folks, we’re getting close to my backyard on some of this stuff. I don’t want to go too much in the weeds on it, but, believe me, it is welcomed in more sectors of our economy than you would know.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, Senator Sessions was confirmed today, bipartisan vote. You won’t hear that in the Drive-Bys, but he was. Joe Manchin, Democrat, West Virginia, voted for Sessions. So there was a Democrat, but it makes it bipartisan.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I tell you, folks, I’m struggling here to maintain my composure. CNN actually just had a headline up, “Jeff Sessions soon to arrive at his Department of Justice office.” They’re quaking in fear! They had a panel, they had two people assembled to discuss Jeff Sessions arriving at work. They’re literally panicked and in fear. “Oh, my God, Jeff Sessions is gonna get to his office soon. What then? You mean he’s really gonna be attorney general? You mean he’s really gonna do stuff? Oh, no!”
