RUSH: “Job Claims in the United States Hit 28-Year Low“. Did you know that? Have you seen that? “Unemployment Rate Down to 4.4%.” That’s where it was during George W. Bush when we were smoking. Jobless claims hit a 28-year low. It’s not an isolated story. Could it perhaps be related to this: “Mexican Border Apprehensions Hit a 17-year Low“? Isn’t it amazing what happens when you have a strong, unwavering leader who claims he’s gonna enforce the law?
From CNN Money: “OPEC has asked a favor of other major producers: Please stop pumping so much [damn oil] and help us balance the market.” They’re primarily asking us, the United States. OPEC — which, during Democrat administrations, has owned us. But now we are producing oil. We may be the largest reserve market in the world now with the discovery of shale and the ability to frack and get it out of the ground. Let’s talk about being energy independent. You know, politicians for 35 years have been promising energy independence. Now it is happening under the Trump administration, and OPEC says, “Please don’t pump so much oil! We’re dying over here!”
And there’s more.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: And he’s still pursuing his agenda, such as OPEC begging us to stop producing oil and unemployment numbers at a 28-year low. Angela Merkel! “Germany intends to increase its defense spending in coming years to meet NATO’s target of 2% of GDP, Angela Merkel announced yesterday.”
I only mention this to point out that Trump is the only one who’s demanded that. Trump is the one who says, “Everybody in NATO should get out of NATO if you’re not gonna pair your fair share. We’re tired of it. We’re not gonna pay your share and ours.” Ask yourself a question: Angela decided to fess up and pledge Germany’s membership fee, which is 2% of your GDP on defense in your own country. She decided yesterday to do this. Why? Why would Angela Merkel…? If she’s watching the news in the United States, why would she do anything Trump wanted?
