Time Text
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back.
Great to have you.
El Rushmall, a cutting edge of societal evolution, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
You know, while all this other stuff is going on out there, Obama called opponents crazies.
He was in a fundraising speech out in Nevada, and he called people that oppose what he's doing crazies.
He's emulating McCain, who called people supporting Trump crazies and so forth.
And uh he actually had uh referred to uh the Koch brothers by name uh in this way, and the Koch brothers took great offense to it, though it's very unpresidential, called him out on it.
Also, there's details on all of these things.
I just want to let you know we're on top of this stuff.
We're not able to get to all of it in every program.
Econ 101.
This is such a great story, and I don't know if it has if it's cut through the noise out there with everything else going on.
A California pizza shop heard the call for living wage.
Actually, this is in um Emoryville, which is in the Bay Area is close enough.
And these leftists everywhere demanding a living wage, not just an increase in the minimum wage, but a living wage, and they come up with some arbitrary hourly wage that equates to a living wage.
So this pizza company decided that they could really build a huge customer base because the people who are out there touting a living wage obviously would do what it took to make it happen, right?
So they created living wage pizza.
The living wage pizza costs more than $30.
And you know what?
People haven't been buying it.
And the pizza shop owner is a little surprised.
He said, Well, but if everybody's talking about having a living wage, well, this is what it's gonna take.
I gotta charge 30 bucks per pizza if I'm gonna pay what a living wage is by these people.
I think if they supported, they'd come in and be buying these pizzas.
But the very people demanding that he pay a living wage are not coming in and buying any pizzas.
I mean, this is classic econ 101.
It's classic socialist econ 101.
Take somebody else to pay for it, somebody else to make it happen, businesses have uh a bottomless pit of money.
You know, Democrats really do try to make people think that, that all businesses have a stash of cash that's just sitting there, not used, that the owner is siphoning and using for his own purposes, stealing from the business.
Every business owner is rich.
Every business owner has all kinds of money.
And he gets it by gouging customers and so forth.
And so this guy says, well, all right, fine.
You want a living wage, it's gonna it's gonna require pizzas that cost their.
He did he this pizza owner was not trying to make a statement.
Don't misunderstand.
This guy was not trying to illustrate anything.
He really was trying to follow through on a living wage.
He was trying to do his part.
So here's what it's gonna take.
And he can't find any buyers.
The living wage pizza costs more than 30 bucks, and people have not been willing to buy it over half.
Well, almost half of the American people say in the latest poll that Hillary Clinton should just give up her presidential campaign.
That is how bad it is.
Now look at these two stories.
Here's the headline.
This is from Politico.
House Republican leaders desperate to avoid shutdown.
You know what this is about?
An explosive confrontation brewing between House Republican leadership and conservatives over planned parenthood is threatening to shut down the government for the second time in three years, and House Republican leaders have yet to settle on a strategy to avert it.
Here's the next story.
Obama promises to shut down government if Congress defunds his executive amnesty.
So on the one hand, you have the Republican Party scared to oh my God, not another government shut, oh no, no, don't do it.
Here's Obama promising to do it.
If the Republicans do not pay, do not come up with the money for his executive amnesty program.
Now the latest Planned Parenthood video, folks.
This is I uh it was two videos that this episode reached the point where I just I don't I I can't describe it to you.
It's unspeakable what is happening in these Planned Parenthood Clinics.
The latest video thankfully doesn't show this.
It features uh STEM Express people and Planned Parenthood people talking about shipping.
It's unspeakable.
Shipping, aborted baby heads through the mail.
They are seen almost laughing about it.
Speaking about it as a as a I don't know, some sort of a great thing, at least as far as it's helping them accomplish their goals financially or what have you.
Aborted baby heads.
And my God, Republican Party can't not even see clear to do whatever to defund that organization.
Nobody's talking about shutting it down.
Nobody has the ability to do it, but they don't deserve taxpayers.
It's just.
Sigh.
you Thank you.
Meanwhile, here's Obama promising to shut down government.
You see, Obama knows the media will blame the Republicans for it.
And what Trump is showing, get over this fear.
You have to do what's right.
There are legions of Americans willing to support you.
That's the lesson that they aren't seeing.
Breitbart News, the Census Bureau.
These are government numbers.
Anchor baby is delivered every 93 seconds in America.
When I was talking about anchor babies and got caught on it.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's talking about Asians.
Asians are the ones playing.
I wasn't talking about Mexicans.
Yeah, we're gonna get to all that at some point.
ESPNs pulled Kurt Schilling from uh covering of Little League World Series, because Kurt Schilling sent out a tweet on Tuesday morning, actually retweeted a post, and it said only five to ten percent of Muslims are extremists in 1940.
Only 7% of Germans were Nazis.
How'd that go?
Schilling deleted the post from his Twitter feed and said, Well, you know, there are consequences to actions, and I understand mine and so forth.
And uh Network said the tweet was unacceptable, and that they had made that point very strongly to Kurt.
He was removed from a Little League World Series assignment pending further consideration.
Schilling accepted the suspension in another Twitter post uh on Tuesday afternoon.
What did you say, Snidry?
What's wrong with it?
Uh well, it it no, no, it might not have been wrong.
It was just politically incorrect to say it.
You're not just not supposed to say it.
You can't no, not if it violates terms of political correctness.
That's another thing Trump is helping to blow up.
On August 24th, a lion mauled a guide to death during a walking safari in the same Zimbabwe park where Cecil the Lion lived.
I'm sorry, Cecil the Lion lived.
Camp Hawanga, the company for whom the safari was being conducted said the guide, Quinn Swales, walked with a group of tourists when the lion attacked.
Everybody was shocked.
Why not?
They're getting back for what happened to Cecil.
Everybody knows the lions talked about it.
The lions are affected by it, just like the cows that saw one of their buddies fall to the frozen lake in Pennsylvania.
New York Times reported they were looking on with fear and concern for the fallen cow, who was now at the bottom of the frozen lake.
Well, a lion is a lion.
I I There's no taming.
Okay, audio sound bites, here we go.
This is uh this is the soundbite.
This is what led to Jorge Ramos being escorted from the room at the Trump press conference before his speech in Iowa last night.
Trump have a question about immigration uh during the Russian Okay, who's uh next?
Yeah, please.
Trump, I have a question.
Excuse me, sit down, you weren't called.
Sit down.
Sit down.
No, I'm up.
Sit down.
Go ahead.
I have the right to have the question.
No, you don't.
You haven't been called.
I have the I have the right to have the question.
Go back to Univision.
Go ahead.
You cannot be 41 million people.
Go ahead, Trump.
You cannot be 41 million people.
You cannot be on 1900.
You cannot be nice to be messing sheriff.
Sit down, please.
You weren't called.
I'm not reported and I have one confident.
Don't go.
I'm not talking.
I have the right philosopher.
You can't touch me.
I have a very interesting question.
And Trump, no, you don't.
You weren't called on.
Sit down, sit down.
Wait your turn.
You weren't called on.
They gave the nod to the security guy.
The security guy came over, and it was only then that I learned how little Jorge Ramos is.
Not that it matters.
I just the guy is tiny.
I didn't know it.
You know, you see these guys on TV, they look 6'4, authoritative.
And you see this guy, you can barely see him over the pitcher's mount if he plays third base.
Jorge Ramos, an activist for illegal immigration.
That's what he is.
He's not a news anchor.
He is an activist.
He must, he's one of the leaders.
The whole concept of illegal immigration.
Now let go ahead and play the next one because in his next bite, I wasn't originally not going to do this.
I was going to jump something else, but let's play it.
This happened in Dubuque, by the way.
After this happened, after Jorge Ramos was escorted out, another reporter stands up for him.
And Trump said that that Jorge is obviously very emotional and uh there's something not right here.
President Obama has taken some tough questions from Jorge Romano.
Is there a reason why you won't?
Because he was out of order.
I would take his question in two seconds, but he stood up and started screaming.
I told you already.
If you wanted to come back in, I'd love to have him come.
But you can't just stand up and scream.
I was saying to somebody else to.
Is that correct?
I was saying, yes.
And this guy stands up and starts screaming.
He's obviously a very emotional person.
He was attempting.
You know, look, everybody knows this.
I spent a lot of time last night, because as a captive audience.
I was I was watching post-Trump analysis.
And it was funny to watch the drive-by media.
Try to analyze what had happened here.
But I tell you, the vast majority of them actually concluded that Jorge blew it.
That what Jorge did, he's he were he walked in there and he was going to try to take over that press conference.
He thought because he was Univision and Hispanic that he would intimidate everybody.
Everybody would lay down because they're protected class right now, and Jorge would be able to finally embarrass and humiliate Trump and expose him.
That's what Jorge wanted to do.
There's no question in my mind.
Jorge Ramos walked in that room with his objective being to take Trump out last night.
There's no question.
He had on his Dan Rather hat, he had on his Sam Donaldson hat.
And instead, he got deported.
He got deported right out of the room.
And then a reporter says, you know, Penton Obama and he traveling answering Clinton Jorge Ramos when he I have a problem.
He's out of order.
He wasn't his turn.
It wasn't called on.
It wasn't his turn to get in the country.
We're going to build a wall here.
We're going to make it so that you just can't get in here illegally.
We're going to follow the rules, pure and simple.
So Jorge gets escorted out.
You can't touch me.
You can't touch me.
I don't think anybody wanted to.
Bill Carter on CNN's New Day.
Bill Carter, he is the New York Times TV reporter.
They've been leaving over there.
That's why I paused.
I didn't know if he was still the New York Times or not.
I guess he is.
So uh who was it?
Chris Cuomo said, question is simple, Bill.
When you look at that situation yesterday, what was right, what was wrong, and what worked in it?
Well, I think it worked very well for Trump.
I think he was commanding the situation.
I think Jorge looked like he was like trying to interrupt the guy, and then he had the optics of saying get out, which sort of plays like he was deporting him in some way.
It's the optics were like his message.
You know, you get out unless you're polite, Bill.
Unless you're polite.
Now you come back, you can come back.
Now I'll address.
But I command the microphone.
We couldn't even hear Jorge talking.
He could only hear Trump, and it sounded like he was being reasonable.
He was handling it.
To me, he controlled that situation.
When is the last time you remember a journalist not standing up for another journalist?
No.
This is the first I can't remember a time where a journalist did not stand up for another one.
This guy, the New York Times just threw Jorge in the back of the coyote wagon.
Normally what what about it?
But the Well, but that okay, that was the Neil Monroe thing.
Neil Monroe, he asked, he asked uh well, that's my point, Snerdly.
In that case, Obama was not taking any questions, and Neilman rolled a Daily Caller ask questions, and the media chumped him right out of there, chased him all the way to Washington Monument for embarrassing Obama and violating a protocol.
But this is different.
This is illegal immigration.
This is the cause celeb of the campaign.
This is the Democrat Party voter registration drive.
Is what this is.
And the lead, the general of the Democrat voter registration drive among Spanish speaking people in this country's Jorge Ramos.
And he stands up, it's his turn.
In his mind, he's gonna get Trump.
He's gonna expose Trump.
He's gonna finally show everybody what a phony Trump is.
He's gonna end Trump's campaign last night.
Instead, he gets deported.
He gets thrown in the back of the coyote wagon, and the New York Times supports Trump.
The New York Times says that Trump was in the right.
The New York Times says that Trump owned the search way the circumstance, the situation.
Now Jorge ended up on Good Morning America today and defended himself.
He said he never expected to be thrown out of a press conference.
Who was it talking to him?
It was uh oh, yes, another another great journalist of our time, George Stephanopoulos, said that was Trump's reaction what you're expecting, uh, given the disputes between Univision and Mr. Trump.
What I would expect is that I can ask a question as a journalist because that's how we're responsibility, and I would expect Mr. Trump to answer honestly about what he really wants to do because he hasn't given us a specifics, but I didn't expect to be thrown out of a press conference.
Never in my life, and I I've been a journalist more than 30 years I've been thrown out of a press conference.
You weren't a journalist last night, Jorge.
I don't know why I'm calling him Jorge.
I don't even know him.
But you weren't a journalist last night.
That's the whole point.
I mean, even the New York Times realizes you weren't a journalist.
You showed up there with an agenda.
Well, all journalists do.
Um You know what the drive-by's all said last night?
Uh snerdly on CNN?
Uh uh, they were they were comparing last night to Reagan in New Hampshire, saying, I paid for this microphone moment.
They were.
And I didn't even think it was that.
They were comparing Trump to Reagan favorably.
When Reagan some somebody was protesting Reagan, not letting somebody else speak or spell whatever.
I paid for this microphone.
Everybody cheered.
And the low rent scum in the room shut up and got run out.
And they were comparing this with uh with Jorge Ramos.
Uh to that.
Now, Jorge claimed that he waited his turn, but he wasn't being a journalist last night, right?
Quick timeout, back with much more in a moment.
Don't go.
Now what had happened was after the Nashua, I think it was the Nashua Telegraph, offered to host a debate between Reagan and uh George H.W. Bush, the FEC said that it would violate election rules.
So Reagan arranged to pay for the event with his own campaign money.
So he paid for the microphone, and then people were accusing him of hogging it or not letting certain.
I paid for this microphone.
And it huge, huge ovation.
Here is Jonathan in or Orland, California.
Great to have you on the uh EIB network, Jonathan Hyde.
Hi, Russ.
Thank you for taking my call.
Um my reason for calling you that I I got a chance to see the uh the interview I think it was with George Stephanopoulos on the uh the incident that took place with Lamos and he made a point of saying that, you know, he believes it he needs to stand up for what he believes is true, um, which is is disingenuous as a reporter or journalist when they're up trying to bring the news to their constituents.
And um, as you pointed out, he does like so many on the left have an agenda and they come forth with the guys of being a journalist and then they go to their audience and just give them this misinformation.
Um I see what I saw last night was um an activist trying to take a page out of the Black Lives Matters uh movement and interrupt Trump as he was speaking to another reporter, and I just feel that this is just gonna be an ongoing thing with these so-called journalists coming out and pretending to be the der uh reporters with honest truth when they're bringing nothing but lies.
I think it's exactly right.
I think it's exactly right.
When you i if Jorge if Jorge Ramos if Jorge Ramos said that he was standing up for what is right.
Well, sorry, pal, you're in the wrong business what journalism is.
Journalism's not standing up for anything.
Although it is, it has become that.
Which is the um in their minds.
But that doesn't even describe who I I think Jorge Ramos this guy, folks, there's much more going on here than just this whole reporter journalism thing's a pure act.
Talent on loan from God.
Here is uh is Renee Kansas City.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hey Rez, how are you?
I'm great, thank you.
Uh I am befusled by your support of Trump.
I um think he's a white Obama.
He's a narcissist.
You know Barack is a is a narcissist.
Donald shows all the signs of being a narcissist.
We've been married to one for eight almost eight years now, and everybody wants a divorce.
And that's exactly what's going on with Donald.
He has no class, he has no plan, and I would rather see a psychological evaluation on the candidates than a financial accountability.
A psychological account, huh?
Yeah, do you think psychological evaluation evaluations on all the candidates?
And I think Donald comes up as a narcissist.
I mean, what's he gonna do?
If he goes and talks to Angela Merkel, is he gonna call her a bimbo when she doesn't do what he wants her to do?
Uh who?
Is he gonna call who a bingo bimbo Well, Angela Merkel, anybody, any world woman world leader?
Is he gonna call them a Angela Merkel?
No, she wouldn't be no bimbo has a specific definition.
Well Angela Merkel is not very unclassy.
It's it's we're in a we're in a dating relationship with these candidates.
And some of them look they're great, they're just like the the great guy, and they say what they what you want to hear because you've been hurt so bad and they're coming out and saying, but you need to listen to the little things he's saying.
He did it with Jorge yesterday.
He said, go back to Univision, and then a few minutes later he said, I don't even know who the guy is.
He does know who Jorge is.
And but we are not we have to make sure and listen to the little things that Donald is doing, not the flashy big stuff.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
I've been trying to tell you that none of that matters to the people supporting him right now.
I know, but I want to know why it doesn't matter to you.
I want to know why it seems like because when when you've talked about Obama in the past and you have said several times about his narcissist personality and how much that affects how he governs, then why doesn't the fact that Donald is a narcissist in that affect.
I don't oppose Obama because of his narcissism.
Oh, it it makes a huge difference in how people relate and how they govern.
No, no.
In the first place, what is making you think?
What was I at the Trump rally?
I just don't know.
I just know that you have talked in the past about how much a narcissist Barack is.
And if you look at Trump and his behaviors, the way he handles people, uh look, he he's totally the list here.
So why wouldn't the fact that Barack's narcissism does affect how he governs and the decisions that he's made for this country?
Narcissism narcissism is not the reason Obama believes what he believes.
Narcissism is a human characteristic behavioral pattern, uh what have you, but it has nothing to do with his ideology.
His ideology is what it is, he can be afraid of his own shadow and still be a raging leftist.
But even though Donald many people may agree with the stance that Donald has, what if one day he changes that stance and he is exactly like Barack and he says he's gonna do what he's gonna do.
He's gonna lose the support that he's got if he does that.
Are you still there?
...actually says on what he actually does and not be totally swayed by the honeymoon phase.
Okay.
Ted Cruz and Ben Carson may be more boring, but I don't think anybody's going to want a divorce with them in eight years.
Uh well.
Now you want to start throwing some other names in there.
You the f the the first thing wrong with this is that you have assumed that I'm a Trump supporter.
Oh, okay.
And and I want to know why.
Is it because I haven't denounced him?
Should I denounce him on some uh No, I I have not heard any um I haven't heard when you when you bring up uh Trump any of the negative things, Mad Rush.
I haven't listened to every single word you say every day.
But I have not heard any negative things about But you want to hear one?
You didn't then you didn't hear the program after the first debate.
Well, yeah, he did that in the debate.
I'm talking about his plans.
What are his plans?
Well that's what the you say you haven't heard me say anything.
You didn't hear the program after the first debate.
I thought his answer to Meghan Kelly was atrocious.
I thought it was embarrassing.
I thought it was I thought I thought it was how about his policies?
What are his policies?
What are his plans?
He never has an answer for anything.
What are those?
Uh now if you're saying he hasn't announced specifics, you're just incorrect about that.
Now I'm you're putting me in a position here where I you want me to look like I'm supporting a specifics, which I'm not gonna commit to that here.
I'm telling you, but he's got specifics.
He has specific plans.
Okay.
Well, he's got he's got to have the fact that I know that we have been governed by a narcissist for eight years, and it has affected the way he's You're stuck on this narcissist business and you're overlooking and missing so many other aspects of this that explain it.
So explain what Brock does?
No, explain his popularity with people.
In his people popular because he's the he's the cute boyfriend.
He's the cute, he's the cute guy that's telling you everything that you want.
I haven't heard any of his plans.
He says he says he's gonna do this because he is who he is.
Well, he's not gonna get into the case.
He's got the smartest people, he's got the best negotiators and he's smart.
Yeah, okay.
Well, we need a little bit more specific than that.
I just know that there are candidates.
Well, who's give me an example specific than that?
Give me an example of somebody in the campaign who is offering specifics that you support.
Who's your candidate?
I I don't know yet.
All I know though is that I have heard specifics from Ted Cruz.
Yeah I've heard specifics from Carly Diorina.
Okay, specifics from other people.
What specific as well?
What what specifics have you heard from let's just say Cruz?
What what have you heard him specify that he's gonna do?
The first five things he's gonna do in when the first day in office.
Well, what are they?
No, wait a minute.
This is your show.
No, no, did he tell you how he was gonna do it or do you just tell you what the five things are?
He's he said he was gonna defund I can tell you what they are.
He's gonna depeal every word of Obamacare.
Wait a minute, he's gonna repeal every word of Obamacare.
He is going to defund Planned Parenthood.
He has not told a single person how he's gonna do it.
He's just said he's gonna do it.
Yeah, but how has Trump told anybody he's gonna do it?
Because he's gonna tell them to do it.
He's gonna tell Mexico to build a wall.
I'm just trying to point out here that you're not being consistent in your criticism.
The people you think have offered you specifics have they've offered you specific objectives, and they've told you specific plans and and and ideas that they want to accomplish.
They haven't told you how they're gonna do it.
Trump has told you he's gonna build a wall.
Trump has told you he's gonna make Mexico pay for it.
Trump has told you he's gonna go to Ford.
He's gonna make sure they don't take their plant to Mexico.
He's gonna go to whoever makes Oreos and tell them if you do that, I'm never eating Oreos again.
You're not moving that plant to Mexico.
He says, I'm gonna go to the port of LA one day, and instead of seeing ships loaded with cars made in Japan being offloaded in America, I'm gonna go to the port and I'm gonna see cars made in America leaving the port for Japan.
People are cheering.
But just because he says it, it's gonna happen.
Just because Ted Cruz says he's gonna defund Planned Parenthood doesn't make it's gonna happen either.
That's right.
That's right.
But it's not gonna call anybody a bimbo and be so rude and constantly see what you don't get is people find that in Trump.
He's like they laugh at the braggadocio.
They laugh at the narcissism because they know he's joking.
Obama isn't.
Obama's so full of himself, the mirror isn't big enough.
I gotta take a break.
Sit tight, my friends.
Do not go away.
Yes, go ahead and admit it, my friends.
You are addicted to this program.
The EIB network.
Trump's narcissism.
Dirty little secret.
Everybody finds it funny.
In fact, I think they find it adorable.
I think most of the people supporting Trump look at his braggado show and they just get the biggest kick out of it.
Because I think they see the twinkle in his eye when he says it.
I'm telling you, go watch the last ten minutes of that thing last night.
I opened the program.
The most important.
If you're trying to understand this, if you are perplexed, you're not hearing specifics, you don't like Narc, go watch the last 10 minutes, the last five minutes of this thing last night.
And listen to Trump talk to that crowd.
And you will understand why they accept his sincerity.
They get him.
I mean, I'm telling you, the narcissism, the braggadocio, they laugh at it.
They turn to each other, they elbow each.
He's uh infectious charismatic.
Obama's braggadocio and narcissism is it's not at all infectious.
It's off-putting.
Um Clinton had it too.
But but Trump is is uh is a you laugh at it, or or you you laugh with it, at least I do.
Uh and a little full disclosure, I happen to know Mr. Trump.
Uh I've played golf with him, I've been with him socially.
And I just I know Donald Trump, and I'm you're you're concerned about Braggadocio.
He'll stand up for what he believes, and he's fearless, but don't in any way think we're dealing here with a totalitarian type personality, or I mean, he does run his show.
And there's a big difference in running a business in a country.
You know, there's no question.
And I if you're worried it's Obama who's trying to run this country without Congress having a say.
It's Obama's Russia knowing this or a word Trump's gonna do from the right.
Well, time will tell.
We're so far away from that.
You just got back off, folks, and and and this all gonna shake out.
You know, have have fun with it, chill.
It can't get any worse.
It turns out that the shooter in the Roanoke, Virginia, the murderer of the reporter and cameraman, is the son of a former player from Humboldt State University, drafted by Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers.
His dad.
Not that it matters to anything, just it's a little factoid.
And also, you do not have to drink eight glasses of water a day.
It's BS.
Details tomorrow.
