Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
And now into our 28th year.
Rush Limbaugh, a man a legend away of life, America's real anchorman.
And I am still loving what I do.
And could it be otherwise?
Because I, ladies and gentlemen, am doing that which I was born to do.
And it's always great to have you here, and I always look forward to going to phone calls and so forth, but this is just great.
It's fantastic, and I relish the opportunity and I give thanks for it each day.
Happy to have you along, 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
And the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Let me offer to you a counter theorem to much that was said here in the previous hour.
And let's just recap previous hour as it relates to the Republican debate.
And there is other news out there, and we will get to it.
You can count on that.
In the political today, there are two stories of note.
The first one is in the political magazine, story by Gren Glenn Thrush, a politico lifer, in which Jeb Bush is quoted as telling a high-powered Republican donor, what's with this guy Trump?
What's with this guy?
He's a buffoon, he's a clown, he's a butthole.
Except butthole was not the word used, the different one was.
And that's very unlike Jeb Bush.
I mean, these kinds of things, the the incivility of that, I mean, the Republican base, the Republican candidate consultants, I mean, they always preach, taking the high ground, taking the high road.
Don't don't descend to the depths of personal insult.
That's just not who we are.
And it's so unbecoming.
We cross the aisle.
We must show that we're responsible.
We must show that we can govern.
We must show that we can cooperate.
We must show that we are willing to listen to the other people's ideas.
We must show that we are willing to be bipartisan.
And Jeb Bush of all people starts calling Trump names.
And the second story, also in the politico, not take it back.
The second story is it is a whispernet.com and it's about Republican donors instructing, I mean the big money donors, instructing other Republican candidates on that stage tonight to take Trump out.
That tonight is the night, that they are fed up with this, they don't think Trump's real Trump is doing nothing but screwing up the plans that they have had for the last eight years and particularly the last four years to get themselves in charge of the U.S. Treasury, and by God, they're not gonna sit around and let this guy get inway.
And so Republican candidates have been ordered by the big money donors to take Trump out tonight, whatever that means.
And Senator Rubio is cited in this story as the one who got the biggest marching orders to take Trump out.
Then back to the politico.
A story about how the debate moderators tonight at Fox have a secret plan to deal with Trump if he refuses to play fair.
If Trump refuses to obey the rules, such as respect the limits on speaking time, and they're crazy, by the way, like a one-minute period to comment 30-second rebuttal.
And they say that if Trump tries to dominate, and if Trump gets out of control, and if Trump veers too far off the beaten path, they have a plan.
And in the previous hour, I, your highly trained broadcast specialist, began speculating on what they could have up their sleeves as the secret plan.
Just a wild guess.
Now, all of this is based on conventional Wisdom held by the Republican establishment, or as I have often referred to them as the wizards of SMART.
And I would include the Republican donors, these big money donors, supposedly giving the orders to Republican candidates that they are financing to take Trump out tonight.
Now the theory goes like this.
All of these Republican donors and establishment types at the party level, giving these orders to take Trump out, are preparing a strategy against somebody who doesn't really exist.
In other words, I think they are misunderstanding and mischaracterizing Trump based on their own prejudices.
And you can hear it in the words that they utter.
They are constructing their own talking points and then reacting to them.
And among those conventional wisdom talking points is that Trump just rants and raves.
And he is a crazy, out of control, unpredictable madman who isn't serious.
He is a braggadocious narcissist.
This is what they think of him.
And my point to you in this theory is that they are dead wrong in their assessment of Trump.
And I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that they're wrong, because they're wrong about a lot.
They're wrong about the Democrats.
They're wrong about understanding what liberalism is.
They're wrong about dealing with Obama.
They're wrong about how the American people are reacting to all of this.
But they don't know that.
They think they are a mirror.
In fact, it's worse than they're not a mirror.
They think they are defining and setting the tone for others.
So if their opinion is that Trump is this ranting, raving, out of control embarrassment, they think everybody else sees him that way too.
And so they are preparing a strategy to deal with somebody who really doesn't exist in the way they think he exists.
And I say that because the theory here is that they don't really know who Trump is.
They're afraid of Trump, and therefore they have concocted an image or a straw man version of Trump that isn't the case.
For instance, what if I were to say to you that if you really study Trump when he's being interviewed, not when he's making a speech, and he's the only guy on the stage, I mean, you can't make an assessment compare that to what this format's going to be.
When he's being interviewed by somebody, is Trump not the essence of brevity?
I mean, how long does it take Trump to make his point?
One sentence.
He doesn't have to rant and rave.
And he comes across as a madman to these people because he says things that why they're just not spoken in public.
You don't call people losers, and you don't, you don't describe, even if it's true, you do not describe illegal immigrants the way he does, it just is not right.
It just isn't done.
This is not going to be helpful to us.
But how long does it take him to say what he says about illegal aliens and the crimes that they commit?
It doesn't take him ten minutes of ranting and raving.
He does it in a sense or two.
Trump can be the personification of Shakespeare's brevity as the soul of wit.
He doesn't spend a lot of time making his points.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is able to say everything he wants to say within these silly time limits tonight.
Trump may be the one guy that doesn't need to go outside the time limits to make his point because he gets in, gets it, and gets out.
He doesn't tiptoe around it.
He doesn't speak in innuendo, he doesn't get close to it and hope you understand what he really means.
He tells you.
And then he's finished.
But the wizards of smart concocting these plans and figuring out a deal with an out of control Trump are making a mistake in the way they are assessing Trump and making a mistake in assessing why Trump is popular.
And this is boy, this is common.
They're assuming he's popular because not because of him, because they think their own base is kooky.
They think their own base voted a tea party.
They're afraid of him.
They're conservative.
And they believe that Trump is appealing to people because Trump appears to be out there in the fringes like these people are.
That's why Jeb and some of these others say they hope to get the nomination despite the base.
Long told you that many in the Republican establishment are embarrassed.
For example, to show up at the Republican convention with a lot of the base there.
I mean, they just are.
It's an elite versus common man kind of thing.
They're just embarrassed.
How long does it take?
If you watch Trump, if you study it, how long does it take him to counterpunch?
A memorable counterpunch.
Somebody insults him and he comes back with something.
Does it in a sentence or two?
He doesn't do it in two minutes or three minutes.
He really is.
Brief.
He gets in, gets it, and gets it.
That's one of the reasons why, by the way, I think he's so effective.
Make a note, folks.
This is inarguably true.
The fewer words it takes you to make your point, the more powerful your point is.
Particularly in a setting like this.
What did he say about McCain?
I don't like people who weren't captured.
I like people who weren't captured.
How long did that take?
One sentence.
And the entire establishment is pulling their hair out in fits of rage over this unnecessary insult of a great Republican hero.
I like people that weren't captured.
Didn't take 30 seconds, didn't take a minute, didn't take 10 seconds.
On Lindsay Graham, he doesn't seem like a very bright guy.
Yeah, he came by, asked me to support him, asked me for some money.
Here I think I've got his phone number.
Here's the phone number.
How long does that take?
Didn't take a minute.
Trump isn't the guy they're preparing for.
This is a distinct possibility.
They've got this image of Trump who, and he isn't that image.
It's like they have uh images of many conservatives that isn't, that aren't true, aren't accurate.
Okay, that's that.
Just an alternative theory, something else to put in the hopper and ponder as we approach it.
And by the way, I should tell you, CNN is not doing a countdown to the Republican debate tonight.
Now, normally they would if they were televising it, but since they're not, there's no countdown.
CNN is barely even talking about it because of course it's on a competing network.
Fox News.
Sit tight, folks, back in the jiffy.
Hey, are any of you Trumpsters out there upset by this story?
It's from the Washington Post.
Bill Clinton called Donald Trump weeks before he launched his 2016 bid.
Former president Bill Clinton had a previous telephone conversation in late spring with Donald Trump.
At the same time, Trump was nearing a decision to run for the White House.
This, according to associates of both men, and that's important.
We have leakers on both teams saying Clinton called Trump and urged him to get in the race.
Urged him to run.
Supposedly Clinton told Trump that the conservative movement needed a champion.
No, no, this is what the story says.
The conservative movement needs somebody, and you're the guy.
And then the story goes on to talk about how friendly the Trumps and the Clintons have been over the years.
That when Donald Trump and his wife Melania got married, that Hillary Clinton was there in the front row at the wedding, and it was here.
It was it was at the uh it was the Bethesda by the C Episcopalian church drove by it.
Uh on the way home from golf.
I mean, you the the the TV farm, satellite farm is right across the street, South County Road, big deal.
Trump got into my Bach when it was all over and drove to Marilago for the reception, which is where Bill Clinton showed up.
Bill didn't go to the church, Hillary front row.
Anyway, stories talks about all this.
And then Clinton calls, urges Trump to go on the basis that the country needs what he has to say.
Uh now, obviously, uh, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump running.
I don't know if third party came up, but obviously Trump running would in Bill's mind help Hillary, particularly if he decided to go third party.
Then we have this.
This Jake Tamper, this is from June 28th on CNN's State of the Union.
Now, let's see, when did this in the spring?
So Clinton calls Trump before this soundbite coming up.
Clinton calls Trump.
I think it was in March or April.
But I'll have to read this thing and double check it.
Up late May.
Here it is.
Clinton's personal office in New York confirmed that the call occurred in late May, but an aide to Clinton said the 2016 race was never specifically discussed, that it was only a casual chat.
Now, in one regard, you could ask, why is this supposed to be such big news?
But then you look at it, the Washington Post and the rest of the drive-bys are high I mean, I think there's a giant psychop being played against Trump here today.
A psychological like you've heard of uh uh opposition research.
This is a psyops.
I think Jeb insulting Trump, that's designed to get it to blow up tonight.
Fox having a secret plan to deal with Trump, not playing fair, not playing good.
That's designed.
And then this story in the Washington Post that Trump's running because Clinton told him to.
All of this, I think we're in the middle here of a of a major psyops campaign that the drive-by's and the Republicans are running against Trump.
Because let's go.
This is this is June 28th, CNN's State of the Union Jake Tapper hosting.
This just folks, four seconds.
I mean, this goes by real fast.
Jake Tapper says, Are you still in touch with the Clintons?
Are you still in touch with the Clintons?
No, not at all, actually, no.
Well, now see.
The Washington Post says that in late May, Bill Clinton called Trump and told him to run, encouraged him to run.
The Clinton office, no, no, no, no, no.
We never specifically talked about the 2016 race.
I just encouraged Donald to do what Donald does.
And then over on Good Morning America Today, George Stephanopoulos and John Carl speculated on the Clinton Trump call.
Depending on who you talk to, it was either a courtesy call or a bit of a strategy session.
The Trump people told me that President Clinton said that Trump would have a huge impact on the Republican Party if he were to get involved, that he would be a disruptor, somebody who could have an impact on the entire political system.
If you talk to the Bill Clinton people, they say that the 2016 race didn't even come up.
Okay, so why is it a story then?
Why is it a story if Clinton didn't even turn urge him to run this year?
Then what's the big whoop?
And then CNN, Anderson Cooper 360 last night, Donna Brazil, uh Democrat Party conspiracy theorist talking about Trump's phone call with Clinton, and this is how that analysis went.
It does feed into conspiracy theories, the idea that he's some sort of plant by the Clintons to divide the Republicans during the primary.
This article certainly pour some gasoline on that.
The Republicans feed off of two emotions, fear and paranoia, and I think in this case it's neither.
Now the truth is that they were telephone exchanging and they finally got in touch with each other.
It was before Mr. Trump announced, and I'm not surprised at all that Bill Clinton would take a call from Donald Trump.
Whoa!
I thought it was the other way around.
I was Clinton called Trump.
Oh, now a plot thickens here.
Now she's saying that Trump called Clinton.
But it doesn't mean anything.
It's just typical Republican conspiracy paranoia.
Nothing to see here.
But Anderson Cooper says, Wait, just a second.
Because there's a lot of Republicans out there that think that Trump is actually a Democrat and a Clintonite.
And he's in this race just to screw it up so that the race automatically goes to Hillary, a la Perot in 1992.
And those theories are out there.
So I ask you.
You Trumpsters, does this absurd does bother you?
You're concerned at all here about this story.
Bill Clinton and Trump talking.
And supposedly Clinton urging Trump to run.
Clinton's leakers are denying that that's what happened.
But all of this on the day of and the night before the debate?
And believe me, there are no coincidences in media.
And there are no coincidences when the Clintons are involved either.
We'll be back, folks.
Don't go anywhere.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
And we go back to the phones.
This is uh this is Juan in Orlando.
Thank you for waiting, sir.
It's great to have you with us on the program.
Hi.
Hi, uh Russia, it's an honor to talk to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Same here.
So uh I'm I'm going to support Trump.
Uh it doesn't matter what he does tonight, like you previous caller said.
Uh he is a person that has the guts to say what needs to be said.
You know, I came here to this country legally twenty years ago.
So why am I going to be mad at him saying we got to stop illegal immigration?
Uh you know, we d we did it the right way, and it's not fair.
Uh I think it's a myth, you know, that that all immigrants are going to be against Trump.
Because the people are dated the right way, uh they're against this illegal immigration.
Well, we know.
We've got polling data out there, Juan, that Trump is leading among Republican Hispanics, thirty-four to thirty-one percent over Jeb.
Yes, I I think that's true.
Yeah, and like I said, you know, he he stands up for the country.
You Democrats they always they always blame everything on the United States.
Uh the media blames everything on the United States.
Republicans don't have the gust to say what needs to be said, and I think that's why Trump is leading.
You know, I don't think it's really any more complicated than that.
I think that's right on the money.
Trump is not afraid to say what most people think the Republican Party is.
Um let me ask you to seriously, I'm not trying to uh uh provoke anything.
I'm just genuinely curious.
Um remember when Trump made his comment about the criminal element involved the illegal immigrants in Mexico.
Right.
Uh and everybody thought, well, that's it.
You know, we've been waiting for Trump step in it, and he just stepped in it, and then the McCain thing came.
He's a novice, he knows what he's doing, this is gonna run him out of the race.
What did you think when you heard him say that?
He said the truth.
You know, across the border, it's an illegal act, right?
Right.
Uh and we saw what happened to the girl in uh San Francisco uh a couple of weeks ago there was another one in Cleveland, and it's happening all over the place.
Well, there was another one yesterday or last night that I read about.
But even you know, in the last week, Trump's Trump has stopped talking about this stuff.
This is I I think he needs to stay on message.
I think he's saying what people like us can say.
We don't we don't have the uh the avenues to say what needs to be said, and he he has the avenue and he has the guts to say it.
Well Juan, I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Always uh find fascinating feedback like that.
Uh one of the one of the things, uh ladies and gentlemen, that that I had noticed, I mentioned this in the previous hour.
A number of drive by commentators are starting to say things about Trump that they never ever thought they would say.
Four or five of them have done mayakulpas.
Chris Salizza, uh, a couple of others that you would know names, who originally wrote pieces mocking Trump, just laughing at him.
What a novice.
What an amateur.
This isn't how you win.
This is not how you do politics.
This guy, he's only in it for his own personal promotion, blah, blah.
And they've all done 180s now.
And they're writing pieces explaining what they were wrong about.
And the things that they misjudged.
And a number of others are writing pieces and saying on TV, that Trump is taking on just in the last week, an entirely different persona.
That he's actually looking and sounding presidential.
He's got a tax plan that he's released.
And on policy and so forth, he's actually coming across now with a new dimension.
And accordingly, a lot of these people, like Jeff Greenfield wrote a piece last night that was written somewhat in fear.
You could sum up the piece by saying the subject was, oh my God, can this guy really win?
He might be able to.
So in a short period of time, Trump's gone from being an impossible joke, a distraction, uh, a clown, somebody just in this for personal promotion, to, oh my God, uh, oh, gee, you know what, this guy could win.
Here, listen to Howie Kurtz.
Soundbite number seven.
Last night, Meghan Kelly's show, she said, you have been um you've been hearing a different kind of messaging from Trump Howie, is that right?
Here's the news flash.
Donald Trump is toning it down.
He hasn't said anything inflammatory or taken a whack in anybody's head in a week.
He is such a dominant front runner right now, Megan, that he realizes that he doesn't need to be the Don Rickles candidate hurling out insults.
This is the sign of a guy moving from an outside agitator to maybe being a plausible nominee.
There's no point anymore.
I mean, he'll punch back people who he thinks unfairly criticized him, but there's no point anymore in ridiculing the individual journalists.
Well, he was doing more than ridiculing individual journalists, but these journalists have thin skin, and you start attacking them, and that's all they are aware of.
But what if this is true?
What if now Trump is becoming, as they say, more serious, and that there's less bombast.
And uh less of what got him noticed.
The theory would be that Trump has achieved the objective of getting noticed, and he's done it in a memorable, unforgettable way.
He's now defined himself.
He's built up this reservoir of support based on people who know and trust that he's an outsider and willing to say so, but now he's starting to meld and get serious as a candidate.
And these guys, I'll tell you the next thing, next spate of predictions, you watch.
The next spate of prediction is going to be along the line.
Trump is blowing it.
He's not who he was when he started out.
He's becoming the kind of candidate that his supporters don't want.
You watch.
That'll be the next prediction to come down the pike.
Because I think I think they're uh setting this up.
Here, I'll give it here's F. Chuck Todd, and this was uh this was on, I guess what was this, the uh Today show this morning.
And Matt Wower said to F. Chuck Todd, you know, we could have a real discussion tonight on things like immigration and uh Iran and ISIS, and it could be more about the stake and less about the sizzle.
What do you think about that, F. Chuck?
I think it's possible.
Well, I think the moderator's gonna try hard.
At that point, we'll see.
Can Donald Trump go two hours in this new Clark Kent persona that he's had over the last few days, or does he come out swinging once he's invited to do it?
He's been downplaying his expectations, and I think if you're a political strategist, he's been downplaying them rather beautifully.
He's got a very low bar to exceed.
If he doesn't look as crazy as the media and other of his opponents have painted him, then people are gonna say, wow, Donald Trump looked pretty reasonable.
Okay, now if that happens, then the Republican establishment and the big money guys are going to be pulling their hair out.
If when this thing is over tonight, that Trump that the perception of Trump is, my God, oh my God, he came off at presidential.
Did you see that?
Wow.
He came, he was reasonable.
He was substantive.
He didn't smack anybody's whoa, they're gonna be really pulling their hair out.
They won't know what to do.
And this could be part of the grand stratagem that uh Trump has hatched.
I mean, he's he is a person of depth.
And he's not a clown.
That's why I say I think the Republican established these wizards of smart have conducted a straw man.
They've constructed a personality and a and a person that really doesn't exist.
And then they've sent the orders out to the other Republicans on stage tonight, take Trump out.
Because they think they're dealing with a caricature here.
One more before we go to the break.
John Heileman, who is on CBS this morning today, he's he's half of the duo that has a TV show on the Bloomberg Network with Mark Halpern.
He's one of these two guys, they write books during the campaign and they learn all kinds of stuff, but they don't report it until after the election's over.
They keep it and they save it for their book.
And it's really interesting stuff that if they reported it during the campaign, it might actually change votes.
So the fill-in host was Vanita Newr.
She said, you know, it looks like a lot of Trump's success is driven on his style and not his position.
So tonight, do you think we'll hear more specifics from Trump?
It's a little bit of a misnomer.
It's not just his style.
We I did a focus group in New Hampshire with voters who like Donald Trump a lot one way or the other.
A big part of his appeal is not just his style, but his background, his success.
He is an emblem of American capital success in the minds of a lot of voters.
Okay, so his appeal is not his style.
It's not the brash braggadocio comedian putting people in their place, but rather his success, which is a substantive thing.
Now you note here that Heileman had to attach the word capitalist, because it's a dirty word to people in the media today.
Capitalist is a dirty word to the left.
So he's trying to sully Trump here with, yeah, he's an emblem of American capitalist success.
And to the left, you know what a capitalist is a cheater, screw his employees, screw his customers, kills them, doesn't care about the environment, all that stuff.
So it wasn't accidental that Heileman refers to his success as capitalist success.
And one more, just one more, Alex Castellanos, who's a uh well, I don't he's been a Republican establishment consultant in the past.
He's now on um TV denoted as a Republican strategist.
He used to call HR every time I mentioned him, he used to call HR to complain about it or to thank me, or one of the two.
And then after the program, HR would tell me, yeah, we heard from Alex today.
Oh, really?
What did he say?
He just said you got it half right.
He wanted me to remind you of the X. Whatever it was.
But he was on CNN's new day today with the hostette, Alison Camarata.
And the question, Alex, you've been around uh debate prep for a long time.
How would you be prepping Donald Trump if it was your job to do that?
Donald Trump is not exactly known as a great listener.
So I don't know that you could have a his advisors are gonna have that much impact.
Trump is Trump.
He's gonna be himself up there.
I think it's the other nine gladiators that are going to be in the uh Coliseum with him that are uh they're the ones prepping.
Okay, now that's pretty right on the money.
Trump's not a collaborator.
He's a doer.
He does meetings, but not to get ideas.
He does meetings to give orders.
And you know, this is another thing I like about Trump.
You know, I've always said that if if I were gonna run, the whole notion of having advisors would be foreign to me.
What do I need advisors?
I know what I think.
I mean policy advice.
I mean, you might have advisors to suggest what you wear or how to do this or that on TV, fine, but why do you need advisors on what you think?
Why do you need advisors?
I mean, if you really believe it, if it's really in your heart, that's another reason why I think Trump people are not worried about him.
Not worried about him being flummoxed because he knows what he believes.
And he's perfectly comfortable saying it.
He's not ashamed of what he believes, he's not ashamed of who he is.
He's not going to forget what he wants to say because it's part of him.
He doesn't have to memorize anything.
And everybody else, a lot of these other guys, and not just these guys, but most people, in a situation like they'll study and they'll try to remember three or four things they really want to say, soundbite type material, and then when the debate comes, they get paralyzed.
Trying to remember these three, four, five things they wanted to say, and Trump doesn't do that.
He just reacts, and whatever comes up, he says what he thinks about it.
He may go in tonight having a few set things he wants to make sure he says about policy or what have you, but he's not he's not my point, he's not gonna prep or paralyze himself with attempts to memorize or remember things, because he doesn't have to.
He doesn't need advisors to tell him what he thinks.
So that's why he doesn't listen to them.
Anyway, uh quick uh quick time out here break, and we'll come back after obscene profit making, uh capitalist profit making, and get back to your phone calls.
Don't go away.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Here is Steve in Seattle.
Steve, great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
Megadiddoes.
Thank you.
Hey, I just saw yesterday, Jeb Bush, I think, showed why he probably doesn't have a good chance of winning against Hillary when he made his comment about the 500 million in planned parenthood money that may not be enough or maybe too much.
And then Hillary came out and just ripped him.
She was shrill, she was personal.
What she said was over the top and largely not true.
And Jeb's um reaction to that was to backtrack and correct his misstatement, and he did not take the opportunity, which in my view was a golden opportunity for him to stand up and push back and go to toe-to-toe with her.
And that timidity, that instinct uh for him to avoid that type of confrontation is exactly why he's gonna lose.
All of all of that you you're it's valid, but you're leaving out a very important element.
It wasn't just Hillary.
He was getting creamed by the trolls that live in the sewers on Twitter.
And I have discovered, I know this, do not doubt me.
Our side is scared to death of that stuff.
They think that what's on Twitter is the general American population.
And so Jeb was being creamed.
These trolls on Twitter that live in the sewers there, uh and they're not Republican voters, start trashing him, and how dare he at all insult the idea of women's health.
And he didn't, it didn't take him two hours and he came out with the clarification you're talking about.
I agree with you that it was a perfect opportunity for him to teach people, to explain to people, to uh to to get on record his policy positions on this stuff.
Um, also to show a little bit of fortitude and and fight back that I think is part of the reason why Trump has so much appeal to Republicans is that there's just there's too much um avoidance, there's not enough backbone and not enough standing up.
And and so Bush seems to that just seemed to me yesterday that that showed that he's not capable.
Well, uh you're not alone.
I will say that that that you're not alone.
It was it was a very quick uh reversal.
But the point is he didn't even say I look it, I I we went into this in great detail yesterday, and I'm I'm not taking the occasion here To bash jeb on this, folks.
That's not the point.
But he wasn't suggesting that we cut a half billion dollars, even.
You know what the answer?
