RUSH: Here’s another great piece, another Limbaugh echo. There’s so many Limbaugh echoes out there today that I’m reveling in it here, folks. By the way, from TheHill.com, headline: “Left Says Democrats Caved on Shutdown — Progressives are hammering [Chuck You] Schumer for his agreement … to end the government shutdown on Monday. Even House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has spoken out against the deal, saying there was no reason to support it. ‘I don’t see that there’s any reason — I’m speaking personally and hearing from my members — to support what was put forth,’ Pelosi said…”

Pelosi is anti-this!

“Activists,” it says here, “took a harsher tone. ‘It’s official: Chuck Schumer is the worst negotiator in Washington — even worse than Trump,’ said Murshed Zaheed, political director at Credo, a progressive advocacy group.” This is kind of cool to see the left all ticked off at their side for a change, don’t you think? (laughing) I knew it! I knew it had to be. The Republicans offered Schumer everything. In fact, given the radical nature of Schumer’s base… You know, we keep hearing about the Trump base, all these so-called populists and how they demand this and demand that and Trump can’t do the right thing because he would make his base mad.

Let me tell you who’s a prisoner of his base, and that’s Schumer. Something tells me that Schumer is not the radical that his base is, but that may not be true anymore. You know, I have to be honest. I’ve admitted to being naive on countless occasions on this program. I look at some of these Democrats, just look at them like one of them. One that comes to mind is Chris Van Hollen. He’s former member of the House in Maryland, now he’s a senator, and I look at these people… He’s just an example. I look at Joe Manchin. He’s on Fox right now.

But take your pick. Sheldon Whitehouse, John Kennedy, all of these Democrats, the idea that they individually and personally are as radical as the people that vote for ’em is a tough thing for me to connect. I don’t doubt they’re liberals; don’t misunderstand. The kind of radicals I’m talking about are the radicals that hate this country, that are intent on whatever you want to call it — overthrowing or transforming or changing or what have you. These are people that genuinely do not like this country, primarily because they feel left out.

They’re so odd and peculiar that they just feel left out of the mainstream in practically everything, and so they want to redefine what the mainstream is. And over the years, the way they’ve been educated and raised, they have just developed a poisonous hatred. You know, Schumer we have been chronicling his career, talking about him for 25 years is in the House. I know these guys are full-fledged Democrats, but to believe that they are as radical left as the Black Lives Matter group, for example, or as radical left as George Soros or as radical…?

Now, they vote for it. So I guess it’s six of one, a half dozen of the other. But I do know this, I do know that they are prisoners to their base, and their base say lunatic fringe. The Democrat base is the lunatic fringe that has become the Democrat mainstream — and they are fed every day by the media. The media builds them up; the media promotes them. Mainstream left-wing radicalism is what’s being passed off now as moderate, mainstream Democrat. And they wanted Schumer to stick with this until Trump cried uncle.

All they are about right now is getting rid of Trump. All they’re about right now is having Mueller come back and say that Trump and Putin spend the night together planning ways to overthrow America. They live in an absolutely irrational fantasy world that is designed and it’s informed by their continuing increasing hatred. Schumer, I think, had to do this shutdown just to placate these people. You know, they’re hell-bent on winning the House in 2018.

They’re throwing everything they have into that. But what’s the agenda they’re running on? And this is not a good harbinger. If they’re gonna win the House in 2018 running against Trump, if they’re gonna try to parlay hatred of Trump as a national issue on which to win back leadership of the country… Hatred for Trump, anger, not having a positive agenda. If they’re gonna sit by and every piece of good economic news is gonna be criticized rather than joined? Not one of these in the Democrat Party voted for what is going to lead — and is leading — to this economic revival.

Not one Democrat’s fingerprints are on it. But it’s worse that then. They have to run out and criticize it now, and they have to tell people it isn’t real. The Democrat Party has to go out and basically ruin people’s days. The Democrat Party has to go out and tell ’em, “This isn’t real. Your company doesn’t want to give you that bonus. They really are only doing it because Trump is making them do it.” They want to delegitimize everything good, and then they want to parlay that into victory? Well, if that was gonna work, this shutdown wouldn’t be over.

If that was the way to beat Trump, if that’s the way to win back the House, this shutdown should just be getting going and it should be the Republicans panicking trying to end it. It should be the Republicans suing for piece. It should be Trump and the Republicans begging the Democratsto come back to the table. “What do you want? We’ll give it to you, but we gotta get the government going. We can’t be seen as the reason it’s shut down!” Well, they weren’t, thanks to Trump and thanks to Mick Mulvaney — and, yes, to Paul Ryan.

This shutdown was owned by Schumer. Mulvaney got that process going last week at the White House at a press briefing calling it “the Schumer Shutdown,” and it stuck, because if it hadn’t, it wouldn’t be ending. And the left, the radical left knows it. Now, in the book story in San Francisco. This comes from World Net Daily. “California to Register Illegal Aliens to Vote Automatically — Court orders government to do so for all driver’s licenses issued.

“California will take the next step … beginning April Fool’s Day when the state complies with a court order to begin automatically registering to vote all those who are granted driver’s licenses. The state has long provided driver’s licenses to all who simply claimed, without proof, that they were citizens… There were no checks made or documentation required. But beginning April 1” how appropriate, on April Fool’s Day, “every person who gets a California driver’s license will be automatically entitled to vote. ‘We are very pleased that Californians will have easier access to voter registration,’ said Jeremiah Levine, an attorney with Morrison Foerster who represented the voting-rights groups. ‘We are especially satisfied that changes will be made before California’s statewide and federal primary elections,'” and this on top of California’s insistence to remain a sanctuary state.

Lindsey Graham said… Let’s see. This is a South Carolina newspaper called The State, and the date of this is… I don’t know. But the headline: “Graham Says ‘Shutdown Is Going to Get a Lot Worse,’ Directs Blame at White House.” I wonder how Senator Graham is feeling right now. “Graham used Twitter Sunday to send a message about who he sees as the problem. It isn’t President Donald Trump, and it isn’t White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly.”

It’s Stephen Miller.

“‘President Trump has expressed a desire to have border security with compassion on immigration. #WinningCombination. General Kelly is tough but reasonable. Some other staff in the White House hold extreme and unrealistic views. They hold us back from getting a solution,’ Graham tweeted. Shortly after his message on [Twitter], Graham was more specific… ‘As long as Stephen Miller is in charge of negotiating immigration, we are going nowhere. He’s been an outlier for years. There’s a deal to be had,’ Graham said. The White House fired back at Graham.

“‘As long as Senator Graham chooses to support legislation that sides with people in this country illegally and unlawfully instead of our own American citizens, we are going nowhere…’ said White House spokesman Hogan Gidley.” So the Democrat Party and some Republicans went all-in on illegal aliens, call ’em DREAMer kids, DACA kids, what have you. The Democrat Party went all-in on people who are not citizens at the expense of people who are.

And the question needs to be asked over and over again. Why do these people want less than the best to immigrate to this country? The old argument about a meritocracy is if we’re gonna have immigration, which we do, why not bring people in who are going to be assets, who want to be Americans, who are gonna help this country continue to be great and grow, rather than people who are gonna be a burden to the American people?

Why would you want to do that? And the answer is very clear. The Democrat Party, for sustainability, needs a permanent bunch of people who cannot provide for themselves because they don’t know how. They don’t speak English, they don’t read or write, and they’re not gonna learn any time soon. But they’re gonna be registered to vote, see, like they’re doing in California. There’s a story. Stephen Dinan has a great piece today in the Washington Times.

Actually, it ran yesterday, and it really is a good think piece: “How Illegal Immigrant DREAMers Amassed Power to Force a Government Shutdown,” and when you look at it that way, it is incredible, is it not? “Democrats called it the Trump shutdown. Republicans labeled it the Schumer shutdown. But in reality, it was the DREAMers shutdown. The recipe for the current congressional gridlock” well, now it’s over “is complex, but at the top of the list of ingredients are the illegal immigrant DREAMers who pushed Democrats to launch the filibuster that sent the government careening into a partial shutdown.”

And, by the way, this was over a budget deal. This is what… The DACA, the DREAMer portion of this is part of the budget deal. It was a budget deal that shut down the government. The government shut down because it ran out of money. It didn’t shut down because of anything to do with DREAMers. But the media wants you to think it shut down because the Republicans would rather shut down the government than grant amnesty to DREAMers. That’s not what this was about, when you get right down to it. It was a budget deal, as all of these shutdowns are.

But style, Dinan’s right, “It’s a stunning display of political leverage for a group that” are not even citizens (laughing) and “at most, numbers several million, can’t vote now…” So how in the world did they acquire this kind of “leverage,” and is it really they who have the leverage or is it their sponsors? Whoever! You know, the Democrats call you and me “deplorables.” They call illegals DREAMers. The “deplorables” are a problem, and the DREAMers are willing to shut down the government over it, as far as the Democrats are concerned.

And this is how they think they’re gonna win back the House? This kind of agenda is how? They think the majority of Americans love the DREAMers, hate Trump, think America needs to let the illegals in and give them citizenship because America’s been so mean and rotten all these years? That’s what the Democrats’ belief is. “That’s why America needs to be transformed, because we’re mean-spirited! We’re rotten, we’re unfair, we’re bigoted and we’re biased and we are not nice. These are the people who are suffering because of the United States!

“We have caused there to be war-torn poverty in their native countries. They have to come here. We owe it to them.” That’s Democrat view of the world, that the United States is the problem, “and we owe it to let these people in because we’re the ones who’ve made them illiterate and we’re the ones who made them poor and we’re the reason they can’t provide for themselves. We owe it to them to take care of them!” Where did they get that kind of power? Where did the DREAMers amass the kind of power that’s comparable to the Tea Party?

“‘We know that the public is on our side,’ Cata Santiago, a DREAMer, said in a statement. ‘We are calling for the immigrant community and our allies to take to the streets immediately to demand that Congress pass legislation guaranteeing permanent protection for immigrant youth NOW.'” Well, this is nothing more than a left-wing fringe protest group! This is just the immigration version of Black Lives Matter. That’s what the DREAMers are. They’re not as they are portrayed. They’re not (sobbing) “a bunch of innocent young children brought here unbeknownst to themselves (sniffling) without their mothers and fathers and they’re here and they don’t know what to do or where to go — and they’re just children, Mr. Limbaugh! They’re just…”

No, they’re not. Whoever they are, they have been conquered, taken over, and are being used by the same kind of people that put together the Black Lives Matter movement or Occupy Wall Street or anything. The DREAMers are nothing more than the latest creation of the Democrat Party’s protest wing — and they’re “children.” There can be no other explanation as to how they acquired so much power. They have power because the Democrat Party is willing to put itself on the line for their supposed cause. Why does the Democrat Party feel it need to go all-in on people who are not citizens and basically say to people who are, “(Raspberry) you!”

And that’s how they’re gonna win in 2018?

Bring it on!
