Rush 24/7 Morning Update: Candy Corruption
RUSH: Just when we thought investigative journalism was dead, the Washington Post brings us back to the Woodward and Bernstein glory days. This is sure to shake up Washington.
Media Has Cow Over Trump-Merkel Presser
RUSH: Little Brian Stelter over at CNN went doubly crazy talking about how stupid that made Trump look. "Well, that makes Trump look crazy," even though Merkel was wiretapped! This is what I have meant all day long about Trump turning upside down the way all of this stuff happens in Washington.
What’s the Funniest Call Ever?
RUSH: When I tell you that I very seldom think back, it really is true. I'm not trying to dodge anything here, ever. It's just when this program ends today, it's over and I'm on to what's now happening that I'm gonna need to address the next time I'm here. In this case it would be Monday. So when people ask me to think back, I often ask other people things they remember.
Sean Spicer Takes It to the Press Corps
RUSH: These people are on TV. They believe they are defending, protecting, and saving the country because they have a First Amendment right to do what they do. They are imbued with so much self-importance that it reeks. And yet when people quote them, when people say that they watch them or read them, they freak out. "You mean you got that from us? How stupid are you?" Think of that.
Secret Service Laptop Stolen?
RUSH: We'll dig into that, see what that's about. Don't want to make too big a deal out of it now.
Thomas B. Edsall on the Decline of Men
RUSH: To me it was a surprising thing to see in the New York Times, to even have it acknowledged, the increasing significance of the decline of men. If you want to talk about the decline of men, it is happening. Men in great numbers are not going to college. Now, I would disagree profoundly with the reasons given in this piece as to why.
Trump Is Showing Republicans How to Win
RUSH: Trump said during the campaign he's gonna show the Republicans how to win. It's what we're watching.
What I Said About Obamacare in 2009 and What Trump Said About It Today
RUSH: A couple of things, a listener sent me a note today saying, "Rush, I remember you were on Greta Van Susteren's show on Fox back in 2009, and you said some of the smartest stuff about health care. Could you go back and find it?" So we did.
Did You Hear About That Poor Guy on ESPN?
RUSH: It's just outrageous. It's not just political correctness run amok. It clearly is that, but it is also much worse.
The Trump Budget Isn’t DOA Because Trump Is Not Like Other Presidents
RUSH: The Trump budget. You know, I fell into a trap yesterday. My friends, I erred. I made a mistake.
We’re on the Verge of a Constitutional Crisis
RUSH: We're getting to the point where the president, because of the judiciary, will have totally lost constitutional authority to defend the country because of this little ruling in Hawaii that was made possible by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
My Unpleasant Morning with Allie the Cat
RUSH: I’m afraid I have forever scarred this cat into thinking that whenever I approach, she’s gonna be captured and sent back to the zoo or something. Well, today she had to go to the vet, the annual checkup and to get the claws clipped…
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.
